Three Kingdoms Come to the World

Chapter 174
The army opened the way, followed by Long Xiang, and a large number of carefully selected technical personnel behind them were "voluntarily" chosen to go to Ning'an Village. Behind them, donkey carts followed closely.

Although Cao Cao took away the most precious batch of props, he still left behind a batch of resources, such as ores, which were not low in value, and Fang Fan only brought back some of the highest value.

This long team left Chenliu and walked through the forest.

During this process, Fang Fan could feel the mutated herd of beasts peeping after walking a few steps, but he didn't start a alarm, but stayed behind until Fang Fan left their territory.

Feeling the density of mutant beasts in the forest, Fang Fan shook his head, but didn't say anything.

Three days later, this team returned to Ning'an Village after a long absence.

The outside of Ning'an Village was in a mess, the foot of the wall was covered with blood, and the mottled scars on the wall told of its previous tragic battles.

Seeing Fang Fan's return, Yang Heng and others went out to greet him. This time Yang Heng started to report first.

"Village chief, I am arbitrarily advocating to suspend the city wall project and give up the farmland outside the village. I also ask the village chief to punish me."

"How is the battle going? Did any mutated beasts rush into the village, did any villagers die? How was the army damaged?"

"Not a single villager was injured, let alone died.

The army injured 170 people, killed five people, and defeated a total of thirteen mutant herds. It has been one day since no beasts challenged them. "

"Very well, then you have done nothing this time, as I said."

Fang Fan said directly and decisively.

"Thank you, mayor."

When Yang Heng heard this, he said happily.

"Village Chief, you have come back, do you think this project can start? The construction period has been delayed for several days."

At this time, Yang Heng stepped back, and Li Yan stepped forward and said.

"Okay, let's start, I will arrange military guards.

By the way, where is the stone mine? "

"There's also a shutdown over there."

"Let's start together."

"Yes."

"there's one more thing."

"Say."

"The prospecting team found a mine between Wei'an Village and Ning'an Village."

When Fang Fan heard this, he raised his eyebrows. After obtaining the pulse-seeking compass, he formed a prospecting team centered on it, responsible for detecting ore veins. During this period of time, there were quite a few ore veins discovered, but it is worth Li Yan's initiative. .
This made Fang Fan faintly expectant, and looked at Li Yan.

I saw Li Yan talking excitedly.

"It's clear, it's a small cold iron ore vein, a sixth-order cold iron ore vein."

"Cold Iron!?"

Fang Fan said in shock.

"Yes, the sixth-order cold iron ore vein has been confirmed many times, it's just..."

"Say, just what?"

"It's just that the ore lode is at the bottom of a water pool, and mining is extremely difficult."

"Is it possible to divert the water and expose it?"

"It's almost impossible, only diving operations can be carried out, and the general miners' physical fitness is not good enough, they can't stay underwater for long, and they can't mine.

So I want to apply for a force to cooperate with mining. "

Fang Fan pondered for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Okay, send an army over there, responsible for mining and security of the mining area."

Talking on the mouth, but thinking in the heart.

There are too many places that need to use troops, Ning'an, Market, Wei'an, Huxin Island, stone mines, and Chenliu Village that has just been conquered. Every place needs to garrison troops, unless they are willing to give up, but this is not the case. possible.

The army itself is not large, and the number of recruits and veterans is less than 1000, less than [-]. Such a point is not enough.

The idea of ​​expanding the army faintly rose in Fang Fan's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.

The population is too small, and the current ratio of the army has reached five to one. Four villagers support one soldier. It is too high. If they are recruited again, it will really collapse.

Thinking of this, Fang Fan couldn't help looking at Xu Shu, the population, the population, the population is too small, and he is tied up in everything he does.

Next, Li Mo and several other directors also reported to Fang Fan one by one.

To Fang Fan's surprise, he saw the figures of Zhou Ji and Gu Jihuai, the vice presidents of the chamber of commerce, in the crowd. Judging from their emotions, they seemed a little heavy, and he only knew when he asked.

They were literally called back and took refuge in the village.

Seeing them, Fang Fan thought of the bazaar. After this battle, the bazaar was really hit hard.

Li Yan followed Fang Fan's line of sight and saw the two, so he asked Fang Fan.

"Village Chief, will the construction of the bazaar continue? The construction is tight now, and I feel that the bazaar will not be used for a while, so we can put it aside for a while."

Fang Fan was also thinking about this issue, and it took him a while to make a decision.

"Don't, continue. It's a cold winter now. Although it's difficult, as long as you get through it, you should be rewarded."

"it is good."

After thinking about it, Fang Fan recruited Zhou Ji and Gu Jihuai again. This time, looking at the big men around him and Fang Fan, he felt flattered.

"Ning'an Chamber of Commerce, in fact, in the original concept, it was called Ning'an Caravan, do you understand?"

Gu Jihuai turned his head and answered quickly.

"What does the village chief mean, are we going to provide door-to-door service? Form a caravan and go to other territories for transactions?"

"Yes, since they can't come, let's go."

"Yeah, they can't come, so we'll just deliver it to your door. This territory is rare and precious, and that territory might be worth the price of cabbage on the street. It's a unique business. We buy low and sell high, and others should be grateful to us, and more."

Gu Jihuai said one after another like opening a spiritual fruit, the previous heavy disappointment disappeared, and at this moment, he is full of passion and vitality.

"Stop it, you two go back and get ready. I will arrange coordination among various departments and give me a plan then."

"Yes, mayor."

The two regained their vitality and spoke passionately.

"Well, Jia Jun, you are responsible for this matter?"

Tang Jiajun was stunned, and it took him a while to react.

"I?"

"Correct."

Fang Fan nodded, affirmed again, and asked others to look at Tang Jiajun thoughtfully.

But Fang Fan ignored them, walked straight into the office, and began to deal with a series of work related to the burial and pension of the martyrs, as well as the related villagers' emotional comfort, public opinion and publicity. These are all things that need attention and cannot be underestimated.

After ordering all these things, finding a place to take a bath, and washing his whole body, Fang Fan walked home in the sunset.

The dragon elephant lay on its side on the mutated vine, moved around, found a comfortable position, then pinched the spiritual fruit sent by the vine with its nose, and enjoyed it happily.

Fang Fan couldn't help laughing when he saw the two of them, he pushed open the door and walked in.

At home, several home-cooked dishes have been placed on the dining table, and two bowls of rice are placed aside.

Fang Qing sat on it, didn't touch the food, put her hands on the chair, her little head drooped, and fell off.

After reacting, he shook his head, and after a while, he began to "nod" again.

Watching this scene, Fang Fan blinked and murmured.

"This girl."
