Chapter 051: Juque Wufeng is self-sufficient
In the open coffin, the remains of the owner of the tomb were rotten, and in addition, there were eight gold cakes and eight pieces of jade.
In addition to the eight golden cakes, there was also a giant sword placed on the right side of the remains. The sword has no sheath, and the sunlight shines on the sword, and the light and shadow flow, like a swimming dragon, which makes people dare not force their eyes.
Seeing this sword, Qin Mu couldn't help but hold his breath, although he didn't know what kind of sword it was, but just by the light and shadow flowing on the sword, he knew that it must be a rare divine weapon.
He cautiously climbed down the tomb and bowed to the remains of its owner three more times before solemnly picking up the giant sword in the coffin.
The body of this sword is distributed with a regular diamond-shaped dark checkered pattern, the front of the sword is inlaid with blue glass, and the back is inlaid with turquoise. There is a two-character bird seal inscription near the sword grid, which is carefully identified as the word "Juque".
Qin Mu was slightly disappointed, he had only heard of "Ganjiang" and "Mo Evil", and he had heard that it was the sharpest sword in ancient China.
I haven't heard of this "giant que", and this sword doesn't even look like a sword edge, but it is indeed "huge" enough, the blade is more than three feet long, the handle is about seven inches long, and the blade is about five inches wide, and it feels very heavy in the hand.
Although he is not a cadre Mo Ye, but this sword is simple and dignified, and the decoration is gorgeous, Qin Mu tried to swing it twice, feeling that the sword qi is overflowing and strong, murderous and majestic, with his current strength, there is a feeling that it is difficult to control, but he still can't help but shout good.
"Leave a gold cake and a piece of jade, and seal the coffin again." Seeing that the heavy rain was coming, Qin Mu hurriedly ordered the soldiers around him.
According to the unwritten rules of the people, you can't take all the things in the tomb, and you have to leave some for the owner of the tomb. Except, of course, archaeology.
Qin Mu was digging people's graves for the first time, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart, so he not only ordered the tomb to be filled again, but also built a tomb on it, burned incense and worshipped again.
"My lord, no matter what, it didn't work in vain, hehe." Ning Yuan weighed a piece of gold cake and felt that it weighed a pound.
Qin Mu remembered the matter of looking for rock salt, he really had the intention to plant flowers and flowers and not live, and he unintentionally planted willows and willows into the shade, at this time it rained, Qin Mu had to order a temporary end to work, and the joy of accidentally getting the giant sword was also extinguished by the rain.
After the rain in the afternoon, Qin Mu asked the three hundred soldiers to change the location, and continued to dig nearby, looking down from the mountain, it felt like there were suddenly many rat holes in the wilderness.
Qin Mu held the giant sword in front of his knees, chewed a blade of grass in his mouth, and hummed a song weakly: Tunnel war, hey tunnel war, there are millions of divine soldiers in ambush
Yes, he insisted that he was not playing a rat hole, but a tunnel war, even though the pits down the slope really looked like rat holes.
"My lord, are you sure there really is a salt pond in this place?" Ning Yuan was obviously suspicious.
"This is the will of heaven." Qin Mu had no other way than to continue to pull the tiger skin to fill the banner, he actually didn't come to see the rock salt mine in Zhoutian Town in his previous life, he only knew the approximate location.
Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and when Qin Mu was anxious, suddenly a soldier shouted excitedly: "Salty, salty, I dug it, I dug it, Lord County, I dug it to the salt pool."
The soldier was extremely excited, because of the promise Qin Mu had made before, the first person to dig the salt pond would be rewarded with five taels of silver.
Qin Mu jumped up, and the broken sword didn't bother to take it, and hurriedly ran to the edge of the soil pit, which had been dug nearly nine feet deep, a few feet above was a layer of soil, and more than two feet below was like an anhydrite layer.
"Bring some up and let the officer taste them."
"Lord County, you taste, the villain has tasted it, it has a salty taste, it really has a salty taste."
Qin Mu took a small piece and licked it with the tip of his tongue, it was a little salty, but the bitterness was heavier than the saltiness, he was sure that his judgment was correct, this is anhydrite, anhydrite is a sulfate mineral, if it is associated with a rock salt mine, it will have a salty taste.
"Dig, dig down, the salt pond is down there." Qin Mu's voice had a hint of tremble, which showed that he was also very excited.
The soldiers responded loudly, wielding shovels and digging down hard, not to mention how energetic they were, and the soldiers above also gathered around, and the discussion was endless.
In anticipation, I dug down a foot square, and the anhydrite layer was exhausted, revealing some predominantly white crystals.
"Bring some to the official to taste, quick!"
"Ah, salty, salty, salty, really salt!" The soldiers below handed the crystals to Qin Mu, and they didn't forget to stuff a small piece into their mouths, and immediately shouted loudly after tasting it.
After Qin Mu tasted it, a heart finally fell into his stomach, it was salt, it was indeed salt, and it was very pure, if this kind of salt was directly sold in the future, he would definitely be scolded by his mother.
But at this time, it is already a good salt, because the salt eaten by ordinary people has not been purified, it also contains a large number of impurities, so the salt with a content of more than 70% can be directly sold on the market even if it is not purified.
The three hundred soldiers, without exception, rushed to pick up a piece of rock salt and stuffed it into their mouths, as if they had never eaten salt in their lives, and all of them were so salty that their noses and eyes were wrinkled, and then they threw their hoes and shovels, and danced loudly and cheered, and their excitement was no less than that of a great victory.
"Found the salt pool, really found the salt pool."
"Oh my God, God is watching us."
"It's true, Lord Qin really found the salt pond according to God's instructions."
"Oh my God, thank God!"
“”
In addition to the loud cheers, many soldiers also knelt on the ground and worshiped the zenith, because this was God's gift to Huichang.
There were many good things in the vicinity, and when they saw hundreds of soldiers, they were all stunned.
Who can not believe that Qin Mu heard the will of God during the sacrificial ceremony? Not only soldiers, but even people like Ning Yuan who are fierce and immortal, can't help but have the urge to worship Qin Mu.
After the excitement, Qin Mu quickly calmed down, and first instructed Ning Yuan: "In the future, your three hundred men and horses will be temporarily stationed in Zhoutian Town, there is no need for you to dig salt, you just need to watch the surroundings and prohibit private salt mining." ”
There is nothing to say about this, the salt industry has always been the monopoly of the imperial court, and private individuals are not allowed to mine salt. Whoever makes salt privately can be arrested and brought to justice immediately.
In the future, the army will all count on the rock salt here, and Qin Mu will never allow others to get their hands on it.
Ning Yuan hugged his fists and said, "Your Excellency, are you planning to recruit another person to collect salt?" ”
"This is natural, not only you, I want our 2,000 men and horses to be completely out of production, you just train the army, train me to the death, and train an invincible male division as soon as possible."
"Rest assured, you will live up to your expectations." Ning Yuan replied with a fist clenched, Qin Mu had a mysterious ability to predict, and according to the current situation, there was a lot to be done.
The key is that they are all "traitors" who are not tolerated in the imperial court, but Qin Mu privately took them in and reused them, which has already shown that Qin Mu is by no means a person who follows the rules, several of them, including Meng Ke, have decided to follow Qin Mu first, and now Qin Mu has asked them to train a strong army as soon as possible, which is exactly what they want, and there is no second word.
"My lord, since this salt pond is going to be used as a source for raising troops in the future, shouldn't the news be blocked, so as not to interfere in the Ganzhou Mansion or even the governor's yamen?"
"Let's dig out the salt, we have to sell it, this paper can't hold the fire, the news wants to be completely blocked, but you can divide the nearby area as a military forbidden area, and the idlers can't enter, and then the specific amount of salt will be produced, it's up to us to decide;
And in Ganzhou, I don't plan to hide it completely, it is not a bad thing to hand over some to Governor Yang and let him use it to help the victims, so that the people's livelihood in the entire Ganzhou Mansion can recover faster;
Our Huichang stall is too small, within two years, at least the entire Ganzhou will be included in our foundation, only in this way can there be enough room for maneuver militarily, and only then can we support a larger military beard economically, so that to help Yang Governor is to help ourselves;
As for the governor's yamen, don't worry, the governor of southern Gan is now stranded in the capital, and I don't know if he can come back, and Zhang Xianzhong soon swept Huguang and forced Jiangxi, and the governors have to be busy. ”
"Ha, then the last general will rest assured, here in Ganzhou, you really don't have to be too careful, the last general almost forgot that the adult is the Chenglong fast son-in-law of Yang Governor's Mansion, hehe."
"Laugh at the fart, Lao Tzu was forced."
"Forced? Adults mean you were forced to marry? ”
"Alas, in order to let the brothers have a space for stable development, in order to let the people of Huichang in dire straits get more relief money and food, this official can only sacrifice his lifelong happiness and be forced to do this family business, do you say that this official is easy?"
"The daughter of Governor Yang looks like a fairy, my lord, you are obviously cheap, it's not easy, it's not easy, it's not easy, it's really not easy, it's really not easy, as the saying goes, if there is something to do, how can you be wronged by your lord, otherwise, let the last general be forced to do it!"
Coldly, Qin Mu flew up and kicked Ning Yuan's buttocks, kicked a big guy and three thick guys into the salt pit, and then flicked his sleeves and shouted to the nearby soldiers: "Buried." ”
"Ah" Qin Mu suddenly let out a low sigh, because he remembered that he had forgotten to take the giant sword he had just dug up, and now he didn't care about burying people, so he hurriedly ran back to the place where he abandoned the sword just now to find it, Ning Yuan luckily escaped the fate of being buried alive.
Although I have never heard of this broken sword called "Juque", and because it is too thick and heavy, although the blade is sharp, it cannot reach the realm of "Feng", but Qin Mu has decided to use it to fool the village husband and foolish woman, let's dig the salt pond according to the will of God, but first dig this broken sword Well, no, it is a sword.
That's right, then it is the upper sword given by God, the upper sword given by God to me to cut through the injustice of the world.
Isn't that too much to say?
Well, let's just say that it is the Qinhuang Sword, it is more difficult to forge the heirloom jade seal, and it is not bad to get the Qinhuang Sword.
Or is it called Xuanyuan Sword?
Legend has it that the gods cast a sword of the Holy Way for the Yellow Emperor, and then passed it to Xia Yu, also known as Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword, this sword can be regarded as a symbol of the Chinese nation, but no one has ever seen it, but it is easy to pretend. The problem is that the broken sword in his hand has the word "Juque" on the sword, otherwise he can pretend to be a Xuanyuan sword.
Qin Mu was a little entangled, whether to destroy the word "Juque" on the body of this broken sword, and then use it to pretend to be the Xuanyuan Sword
