Chapter 67 Mining iron ore to reclaim wasteland
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Lei Zhentian never stopped for a moment when solving the problem of screening apprentices.
He led the Thirteen Taibao along the winding steps, passing through the arches, and arrived at the top of the City of Glory, in front of the palace gate.
The wide white stone road in front of the palace gate first came into Lao Lei's eyes. The dome part of the Glory Palace is in a concentric circle shape, which is as high as nine floors.
As the saying goes, "Add a part of the increase is too long, and a part of the decrease is too short." This luxurious palace of glory is the highest point of the entire city of glory.
Above its dome, there are seven eye-catching stars of truth, decorated with gold and developed vertically. The largest star of truth on the top, shining with the dazzling light under the rays of sunlight, pointed directly at the sky above everyone's heads.
"It's funny. As the lord of a city in the city of glory and the governor of more than 10,000 people, has not stepped into his palace once."
Lei Zhentian smiled bitterly. He shook his head at the Thirteen Taibao who were listed on both sides of the palace gate, and did not touch the closed palace gate.
Instead, go in the opposite direction, follow the wide long path, walk the end of the cliff, stand next to the tree of faith, and cover it with the faith template that exists in your mind.
In Lei Zhentian's mind, the terrain of the wetland swamp was soon revealed. Among them, on the side of the mountain next to the City of Glory, there were black luminous spots of iron ore.
"Bellinger quickly organized the labor force and went with me to the mountain and started the mining work."
"In addition, I have passed my order that from today on, everyone's food distribution needs to be distributed according to work. That is to say, if you want to have something to eat, the family will have to produce at least one labor force."
Speaking of this, Lei Zhentian hesitated for a moment and quickly added, "Also, for women who are willing to work, including all children over 10 years old, I have other arrangements to ask them to meet outside the city."
The city of glory must be widely used as soon as possible, and with enough manpower, mining work can be started immediately.
Leaving the top of the glory of the city of glory, on the way back to the city, Lao Lei inspected the holy spring of glory, and the evil dragon-human egg bag soaked in the spring.
The Holy Spring of Glory is an extremely important existence in the city of Glory. There are twelve guards of the feng squan guards here, and no one is allowed to approach the Holy Spring of Glory at will.
After Lei Zhentian's observation, through the increasingly heavy fog of the spring, Lao Lei discovered that the evil dragon human egg bag that had been soaked in the Holy Spring of Glory for a day did not change any abnormally except that it had become slightly larger.
In order to provide security for the successful birth of ten thousand evil dragon warriors.
Lei Zhentian specially ordered, "Order the Evil Dragon's Skin to come here to warn you. Anyone who is stubborn will kill you in one word!——!"

The city of glory is built on the raised limestone peaks of the plain.
On the back of the mountain, it is not beautiful or magnificent, but it can be described as a dangerous cliff.
Fortunately, the luminous spot of the iron ore in Lei Zhentian's mind was at the bottom of the mountain, thus avoiding the trouble of climbing.
More than 3,000 adult hyena infantry were all in place. The digging method for mines is generally on the surface, after opening along the outcropping of the ore veins, and then digging along the ore veins is carried out from top to bottom.
In order to ensure the safety of everyone, Lei Zhentian required that the mine should be excavated in a curved mouse hole style according to different widths and narrows.
During this period, ore columns or partitions must be left in the mining area with a large span.
Between adjacent ore columns with relatively large spans, wood must also be supplemented with pillars to prevent the mine roof from collapse due to excessive pressure.
"It's this kind of stone!" Lei Zhentian picked up a piece of reddish-brown earth-shaped and dim ochre, and handed it to Bellinger's hand.
Lao Lei's purpose of handing over ochre to Bellinger was to temporarily hand over all the mining and excavation of iron ore.
And Bellinger took the heavy and hard stone into his hand from Lei Zhentian's hand, revealing a look of confusion.
Because bellinger could not see the difference between this stone and other stones except for the luster and heavier color. But he would do his best to complete the things that the Governor gave.
"Bellinger, all these people and these pack beasts will be handed over to you. Remember, all iron ore like this must be loaded and transported to the blacksmith for centralized processing."
After explaining everything, Lei Zhentian took a look at the sky on his head, and it was almost afternoon.
The team of 1,000 people who were sent to food under Jacks had not returned yet, which made Lao Lei's heart a little more worried.
But no matter what, with the giant-blade-toothed tiger accompanying you, you can ensure that Jacks is safe and worrying, and Lei Zhentian feels much more at ease.

Since the contract power that imprisoned the Dragon Clan disappeared and the city of glory appeared, the core area of the wetland swamp was like an iceberg dissolved, and there was no more of the biting cold air.
The clouds are becoming thinner day by day, and the sunlight can finally penetrate into this sky that is shrouded in haze all day long, allowing it to gradually return to its light.
The snow lines that used to be melted into water and penetrated into the soil underground.
Without snowflakes flying and covered with ice crystals, the place begins to be full of vitality. The newly grown shrubs and weeds are the most complete evidence.
The city is developing on the right track, and it is a time when a large number of people are lacking.
The purpose of gathering five thousand women to lead the people outside the city, Lei Zhentian was to include all the areas outside the city of glory and within the black forest for the need to be reclaimed wasteland.
Moreover, the land in this area is the softest black land without stones.
The first time in my life, I must first remove the shrubs and weeds. No matter how deep their roots are, they must be eradicated from the roots. At the same time, I must also pick out hard objects such as stones.
In order to make the land fertile soil, you need to use stone tools and wooden tools, and you must turn them all over first.
These lands are problematic. They are a wasteland for a long time and are difficult to become fertile soil.
Therefore, everyone needs to work harder and sweat more. It is not possible to dig it in one go, and keep turning it over until it goes over all of it before the seeds can be sown.
There are no iron tools for the time being, and many people are exhausted severely. Although Lei Zhentian couldn't bear it, there was nothing he could do about it.
"Uncle Ida, follow my plan and do it according to this." Lei Zhentian handed a small piece of animal skin to Ida's hands. The style of the farmland was drawn on it, and there was a specific scope.
Therefore, as long as you follow this picture and reclaim all this wasteland into farmland, it is only a matter of time.
For Lei Zhentian, as the lord of a city, he could not waste all his time here. In addition to reclaiming, there are more important things waiting for him to do.
Drawing a detailed peripheral map has become the first priority at hand and can no longer be delayed.
Lao Lei put down the wooden tool in his hand, looked at Jekyll who was "diging the ground and venting breath" next to him, and outlined a playful smile on his lips, "Jekill, aren't you complaining that you didn't have to assign things to you? Now, come with me!"
