After all, 500,000 copper coins would require at least two carriages to pull them. Why would you store so many copper coins without special requirements?

The explanation given by Gudern was: Pay wages to the residents.

Gudern now earns all gold coins, but all he spends are silver coins or copper coins.

In this era, the purchasing power of silver coins is already very strong, so he only needs to hoard a part of the gold coins to purchase external supplies.

The remaining money can be converted into silver coins and copper coins and circulated in Qingyuan Town.

The contract was drawn up quickly, and after both parties put their names and stamps on the contract, the deal was concluded.

Master Gooden, please cooperate with me. If there are no accidents, I will send a team to Qingyuan Town on the third to last day of the month.

Well, no problem. Speaking of this... Gudern paused and said a little embarrassed.

I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to help find a team to escort this batch of goods. I didn't bring too many escorts this time, so the cost is easy to negotiate.

It's a small thing.

After a brief exchange of greetings, the two left the auction VIP room.

After Feroze left, he immediately arranged for his men to collect the goods. After the work was arranged, he went to find his superiors and reported the good news about the manganese steel ingots.

Gudern, on the other hand, returned to his residence and stayed quietly in the house to study the contents of the magic book.

By evening, Feroz sent someone to report that supplies and money were ready.

Gudern asked Old Joseph to count and verify, while he continued to squat in the house.

Until late at night, Gudern did not forget to use today's modifications and made improvements to old Joseph and a new 'fanatic' soldier.

Early the next morning, Gudern led everyone to pack up and head to the auction house's warehouse.

This is the place promised by Feroz.

At this time, dozens of fully loaded carriages and horses were quietly lining up beside the road at the entrance of the warehouse.

At the same time, a cavalry wearing imperial-style armor was waiting silently, and the chilling atmosphere made passers-by speed up their pace.

Feroz, who was waiting at the door, saw Gudern and his party coming and quickly said hello.

Master Gudern, come here.

If he hadn't seen Feroz here, Gudern would have had the urge to turn around and leave.

What's going on with this cavalry? Coming to Feroz's side, Gudern asked in a low voice.

They are the team escorting you today. Let me introduce you. This is the captain of the third team of the Kanehara City Cavalry Battalion, Parik.

Dedalo, who was well-dressed, held his helmet under his arm, and saluted Gudern with his breasts pressed against his chest.

Lord Gudern.

In response to the other party's salute, Gudern also made a simple return gift.

Isn't it against the rules for them to come to escort? It was also the first time for Gooden to enjoy this kind of treatment for a military escort.

It's okay. Captain Dedalo happens to be going to Qingyuan Ridge to perform a mission. He happens to be walking with you along the way, so he can ensure your safety.

Feroze told the truth openly. It just so happened that Gudern was also the lord of Qingyuan Ridge, so this kind of thing did not need to be kept secret.

Okay, then I'll trouble Captain Dedalo.

Chapter 43 The power of the people is infinite!

Military escort, that leverage of security.

However, the speed of a large convoy is naturally not as fast as the speed of the five people who came before.

Fortunately, everyone returned to Qingyuan Town in time before nightfall.

The escorting cavalry team broke away from the team and camped directly in the wild when they were still a short distance away from Qingyuan Town.

Gudern originally wanted to invite everyone to spend a night on the town, but Feroze refused on the grounds of keeping the trail secret.

This made him a little regretful. After all, with his self-acquaintance method, it was simply easy to get to know the other party.

The appearance of a large convoy naturally aroused the curiosity of the town residents.

Seeing dozens of fully loaded carriages, everyone couldn't help but curiously guess what the lord was doing.

As carriages parked in the castle courtyard, the originally empty space suddenly became a little crowded.

As for the temporary captain responsible for looking after the house, Els learned that the young master was back and quickly led people to greet him.

Master!

Well, how did things go during the two days I was away?

Gudern nodded slightly, and then motioned for someone to carry the box containing gold coins into the castle's treasury.

The first job Els reported was on the brick kiln.

Everything went well. The results of the brick kiln factory's test kiln came out. Kiln No. 2 and No. 3 failed, but only No. 1 succeeded.

The workers have prepared the complete version of the kiln materials according to your plan and are waiting for construction at any time.

Only No. 1 kiln was successfully fired?

Gooden was thinking silently in his heart, and at the same time he did not forget to listen to Els's subsequent work report.

The clay excavation plant has also officially completed its foundation today and has begun excavation. The daily output is about six piles.

Since there is no suitable unit of measurement among the residents of the town, Gudern can only use a rough concept to assign values.

The amount of a pile is about ten cubic meters, so it seems that the yield rate of clay excavation is pretty good.

After all, this is purely manual excavation, without the assistance of machines.

Not bad, is there any other news? Gudern said with satisfaction.

By the way, Master, for the reward order you issued earlier, many people came with samples to verify the redemption.

Some residents have obtained the important target you mentioned. According to the records, it seems to be called stone...what is it, yes, lime mine!

Upon hearing this, Gudern immediately became energetic, as if he was dozing off, he would bring the pillow himself.

The experimental phase of the brick kiln factory has been completed, and the formal construction will not take too long.

He was still thinking about where to get lime to use as an adhesive, but now it was delivered directly to his door.

Where are the samples of the limestone mine? Take me to see them.

In the storage room of the castle, a cool and ventilated place has been specially cleaned according to your instructions. I will take you there.

Immediately, Gudern handed over the supervision task to Old Joseph, and he himself returned to the castle in advance to check.

There are many shelves in the storage room, and the suspected 'bounty' items collected from residents are placed on them one by one.

At the same time, there is a piece of paper under each item, which records the information of the suspected item, its source location, and the person who found it.

After entering the door, Els went straight to the shelf on the right. He didn't know the words, but he still remembered the location of the limestone mine.

He took out the off-white limestone ore and handed it to Master Gudern.

【Limestone Mine】

[Introduction: A natural element mineral containing a large amount of calcium carbonate]

The entry 'Ore Appraisal Expert' comes into effect, and the specific mineral information appears in front of you.

After confirming the mineral type, Gudern showed joy on his face and asked quickly.

Have you visited the location of this mine?

I've seen it. It's about three kilometers southwest of the town, under a hill. The entire rock looks like this.

Else answered respectfully.

Very good, tomorrow I will notify the discovered resident and ask him to come to the castle... no, go to the town square, I will reward him publicly!

OK.

In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of other residents, Gooden changed his mind and planned to make this first reward public.

Let the town residents see the authenticity of this bounty order, thus promoting their passion for searching.

Okay, you go down first. I'll check it myself. If I have any questions, I'll call you.

Yes, Master!

Gudern played with the limestone ore in his hand, thinking quickly about how to refine and use it.

The way this thing is refined is at a loss.

After a while, Gudern put down the limestone mine and turned his attention to other items on the shelf.

He had only been away for two days, and there were so many suspected targets, which made Gudern once again feel the power of the people.

Sure enough, you can never go without the power of the masses!

Suppressing the joy in his heart, Gooden began to check various items on the shelf one by one.

Damn, why are there so many rocks? What is this thing?

Animal bones? Who on earth collected them?

Eh...is this?!

Gudern looked at the special reddish-white crystal stone with some confusion, and the specific information was displayed in the next second.

【Rock salt stone】

[Introduction: A natural element mineral containing a large amount of sodium chloride]

I giao!

What is sodium chloride? It is an indispensable thing for human development!

After Gudern learned about the general situation of Qingyuan Town, he felt pessimistic in his heart.

How should such a barren place develop? But now he realized that he had made a mistake. This was a treasure land!

In this era, people's understanding of mines is only about gold, silver, copper, iron, gemstones and other metal mines.

No one would care about or discover the value of the manganese ore, limestone ore and rock salt stone he now has in his hands.
