Although Zhangdian is surrounded by mountains, it is also a very undulating area. Huo Chong took his own hiking pole and walked along the places with more exposed stones in the mountains.

The fourth junior brother was initially brisk in his footsteps and carried the hiking pole on his shoulders. After walking for a few miles, his speed dropped. However, Qian Qing always imitated Huo Chong's method of using the hiking pole.

Huo Chong looked back several times and saw that Qian Qing had begun to learn how to use the support of a hiking pole to relieve muscle pressure on his legs. Compared with the fourth junior brother, the one who has been educated is different. It is true that people can die if they compare themselves, and goods can be thrown away if they compare themselves.

After walking out for more than ten miles, Huo Chong's own usage of hiking poles was also improved. The fourth junior brother was so tired that he complained that he let the two rests, and Huo Chong continued to move forward.

When I was in college, a brother from Sanmenxia, ​​Henan Province told the story of getting rich in the local area. A farmer once passed a mountain crack and found a layer of gold mine deep in the crack. He dug out the gold privately and made a lot of money.

As a Shandong native, Huo Chong has never heard of gold in Zhangdian. However, according to the saying, there will be cracks in places with more stones, and there will often be good things in the cracks. Huo Chong came this time just to try his luck.

Simple hiking poles made of wood and iron are completely incomparable to modern hiking poles made of aluminum alloy and diamond pattern tungsten steel sticks. However, Huo Chong already felt that this was the easiest time he had walked in the mountains. In the 21st century, he had high-end hiking poles, but Huo Chong did not understand the goodness of hiking poles.

In 1717, wearing local clothes and cloth shoes, he understood the function of hiking poles. I don’t know whether it should be called remembering bitterness and sweetness.

Just as I was so excited that I could see that the mountain next to Zhangdian was covered with dense soil. Not to mention cracks, I couldn't even see something like a cave.

After walking for a while, Huo Chong walked around a forest of woods, and a mountain that was different from other places appeared in front of him. At least 70 degrees top of the mountain, a thing that looked a bit similar to the shape appeared due to wind and rain.

After stopping and looking carefully, Huo Chong felt familiar. As a Shandong native, Huo Chong really wanted to go back to his hometown to invest. In the report, the characteristic output of Zhangdian is coal and iron ore. Huo Chong also came here once, and after walking around, he lost interest in it.

Compared with the import of hundreds of millions of tons of high-quality iron ore every year, the resources here are really not as good as those. Moreover, high-quality ore has been monopolized by state-owned mines. That time, Huo Chong saw a mountain similar to that in front of him.

After watching for a while, Huo Chong couldn't determine whether his memory was wrong. He wanted to walk around the mountain to the other side. As he walked, he found that he had walked back.

He called two young men, and Huo Chong wanted to see the other hillside as soon as possible. Seeing Huo Chong keep looking at the hillside, the fourth junior brother asked in confusion, "Senior Brother, what's the best thing to look at?"

"What do you think of the mountain head?" Huo Chong asked.

The fourth junior brother looked at it for a while and it was just an ordinary mountain. He could only shake his head and say he didn't know.

Huo Chong continued to move forward, and sure enough, he saw the shape he had seen on the other side. It must be described that the shape of the mountain looks a bit like a big turtle with four legs on the ground, but the part of his head seems to be cut off with a knife. This shape left a deep impression on Huo Chong.

Maybe Huo Chong's association ability is too alternative, and those who travel with him don't think so. But Huo Chong didn't care, because there was an ore vein at the foot of this mountain that produced hematite. The ground that Huo Chong saw at that time was not the smooth ordinary ground in front of him. The ground was bumpy and had a bit of the meaning of the moon's surface.

Huo Chong thought this was the legendary trace of barbaric mining in the era of getting rich. Unexpectedly, brothers who were familiar with the local situation said that this was indeed the result of barbaric mining. It was not done by the Chinese, but the pit that the Germans dug wildly when Shandong was classified as the German sphere of influence.

After Germany lost control of Shandong after its defeat, the Japanese came again and followed the Germans to continue to mine wildly. Because of the use of ground excavation, it means digging out the soil layer and mining directly after the mineral layer is exposed. In addition to the high pollution, this method will cause trauma to the ground that is difficult to recover. The only advantageous thing is that the mining cost is low. The invaders use the minimum effort to plunder China's resources to the greatest extent.

The ground at the foot of the mountain is now smooth and there is no trace of mining. In other words, there is a rich hematite buried not much deeper under the ground. Huo Chong poked the ground with the tip of the hiking pole, and the reaction force of the solid ground was transmitted from his hands.

I wanted to make money quickly by Qiufeng, but I didn't expect to find the place where my long-term treasure was. Huo Chong didn't know whether to be happy or disappointed. Because at this time, Huo Chong's brain had no time to think of a project out of thin air.

The Germans and Japanese plundered here only for millions of tons of resources, and Huo Chong couldn't get that much. He could produce dozens of tons of iron every year, which would be a big profit.

While the idea of ​​becoming rich was thrilling, Huo Chong also knew very well that this was a foolish whisper. The resources Huo Chong had mastered at the moment could not even be able to smelify iron. If Huo Chong had mastered the strength to smelify iron now, he would not have been able to burn glass.

Finally, Huo Chong turned around and left. The junior brothers and sisters didn't expect Huo Chong to leave so resolutely and were stunned. After Huo Chong walked out of the distance, he shouted: "Senior Brother, wait for me." He chased him all the way.

When I got home, it was already late. The idle people who blocked the door also went back to their own homes. Huo Chong was lying on the bed, his thoughts were rippling in his mind, but he didn't know where the point was.

Even if it is a project that is coming back, the production of glass is no longer possible. By making wine alone, potato wine has not been completed. Even if it is done, how to get enough potatoes is still a problem. At this time, the sprouted potatoes have indeed sprouts emerged. If you want to plant them, you have to find a piece of land to plant. Where does this land come from?

The next day, after completing all the teaching work, Huo Chong went to Li Tongshan again.

Li Tongshan's face became even colder after seeing Huo Chong. Huo Chong knew that Li Tongshan's trust in him was greatly reduced. However, he felt that it was easy to speak out at this time. The two sat down and Huo Chong opened the right way, "Brother Li, brother, I want to ask if I offended Brother Li to the point where he didn't want to pay attention to me."

"What do you mean?" Li Tongshan was a little puzzled.

"I want to ask, don't say what others have said to Brother Li. I just want to ask, does this person make Brother Li feel unable to make friends?"

Li Tongshan frowned, probably because he understood. But he didn't say anything.

Seeing that the communication was effective, Huo Chong quickly climbed up, "Brother Li, I know that many people want to mess with me. If Brother Li is still willing to make friends with me, how many people have to settle so that Brother Li can feel that he can make friends with me without worrying."

After hearing what Huo Chong said, Li Tongshan couldn't help but sneer.

"What are Brother Li laughing about?" Huo Chong continued to try to communicate. Seeing that Li Tongshan didn't say anything, Huo Chong continued to try, "Brother Li, let me tell you what you have. I want to understand the words now."

"Brother Huo, you want to mess with me." Li Tongshan replied unhappily.

After hearing this, Huo Chong realized that Li Tongshan was a little bit off-sighted, but he was not sure enough, so he could only say: "Brother Li, in Zhujiazhuang, the five people jumped out to smash my chicken feathers and had to smash the Zhu Erniu family's workshop. I invited the county's constables to come, so they didn't dare to take action. I knew they hated me even more. But Liujia Village and Zhujia Village couldn't take care of Brother Li. There were no grudges with Lijia Village. Even if someone wanted to take the position I took from my master, there were not many in Lijia Village. I just wanted to know how far I had to do it before I could ask Brother Li to agree to make the materials."

Li Tongshan didn't answer immediately, and thought for a while before speaking, "Brother Huo, why are the people over there doing it? I don't want to care. But I heard that Brother Huo owes money."

"If Brother Li makes materials for me, I will give me cash." Huo Chong replied decisively.

"This is not my money. Brother Huo is quite authentic in his work, so I'm not worried. I think Brother Huo, you owe someone money to grow fortunes, which is not nice to say."

Huo Chong felt that this was nonsense. When did Li Tongshan become the leader of defending the village? It must be that Li Tongshan wanted to cooperate, but he dared not say who would not agree. Thinking of this, Huo Chong simply made the words clear, "Brother Li. I don't know who forced you, and I won't ask if you don't say it. I won't talk about buying materials now. I want to buy the fine materials made by Brother Li."

Now Li Tongshan could no longer pretend to be calm, his face was filled with shock and anger, "What do you want to do!" Because of shock and anger, his voice all had an octave of octave.

Huo Chong replied decisively: "I'll go back and try to cook the ingredients myself."

Li Tongshanteng stood up and shouted, "Put my butt!"

Huo Chong also stood up, but did not leave, "Brother Li, you are angry, I understand. I will say one more thing. If I can cook the materials, I will definitely sell them to the people who last time. Those people will not sell the materials in Shandong and will not steal Brother Li's business. There are a lot of materials there, and then I will have to ask Brother Li to make materials and sell them to me. Brother Li, you can earn a lot of money! You can earn more!"

Li Tongshan was so angry that he pushed Huo Chong and drove Huo Chong out. If he had never heard of Huo Chong being very good at fighting, he would probably beat Huo Chong directly. Huo Chong slowly retreated out of the door with the push, but continued to remind Li Tongshan, "Brother Li, don't be unable to get along with money. Don't be unable to get along with money. After I leave, think about it again. Has dealing with me allowed you to earn less money? If I cook the materials myself, you really earn more."

At this time, Li Tongshan had already pushed Huo Chong to the door, and pushed Huo Chong out with force. Huo Chong almost tripped by the threshold, but fortunately he jumped gently and landed steadily. He saw the door shut in front of him, and Li Tongshan's swearing sound came from inside.

Huo Chong is used to being scolded recently, but he is not annoyed. He just prays in his heart, hoping that Li Tongshan, who has always shown that he does not like to cause extra trouble, is a rational person.

After saying everything he could say, Li Tongshan could clearly calculate the correct result from an economic perspective. The cooperation between Li Tongshan and Huo Chong was really lost.
