terraced fields
shed outdoor
More than a dozen iron pots were set up, and Luan Ping was stirring them with an iron spoon.
"Mom, this porridge is really thick."
"smell good."
The children gathered around the iron pot and stared at it eagerly. The adults were not immune. They all gathered aside and watched anxiously with the wooden bowls in their hands.
"Master, eat some venison." Li Guo ran from the side and handed over the fragrant roast venison.
While Luan Ping was cooking porridge, he set up a grill and smoked the venison he brought over the charcoal fire.
Looking at the tender venison on the outside, Qin Hao was really greedy, so he took it and took a bite.
It is smooth and tender, overflowing with juicy meat, and has a full taste. Although it is grilled over charcoal fire, there is no trace of smoke. Instead, the aroma of fruit wood permeates the venison.
The coarse salt sprinkled on the venison made it even more fresh, which made Qin Hao move his index finger and licked it several times in a row.
"Bake some more for the soldiers everywhere and send them out so they can have a taste." Qin Hao said while eating.
In the past few days, the soldiers had eaten and slept with them, fought bloody battles with the enemy, and suffered a lot. Now it is time to try the benefits. If they can marry and have children in the future, they can create their own Eight Banners system.
"By the way, bring me some salt."
Seeing Luan Ping struggling to stir the iron spoon, knowing that he was lacking salt, Qin Hao added: "Sprinkle some salt into the porridge and add some salt to them."
Li Guo received the order and recruited several young men to spread salt with them. If he saw anyone deliberately adding too much salt, he would scold them.
This salt was a gift from the master. I don’t know how precious it is. How dare I put more of it? After all, dozens of porridge pots only consumed less than half a bag of salt.
If this had been the case when the old village leader was around, this small half bag would have been enough for them for a month.
"The pot is boiling." Luan Ping shouted, and suddenly there was a lot of people around the porridge pot, some pushing and shoving.
Qin Hao hurriedly asked Shuntian Death Soldier to maintain order.
The 20 Suncheon dead soldiers walked towards the porridge pot with steady steps, which immediately aroused quite a stir in the crowd.
After a while, the mountain residents slowly calmed down and began to queue up to receive porridge in an orderly manner.
"Sir, everything is done. Let's go to the back mountain." Seeing the soldiers calming down the situation, Luan Ping rushed to Qin Hao's side.
"No rush, no rush." Qin Hao's face felt a little more comfortable, and he waved his hand and said, "You go and have something to eat before you come back."
After a while, Luan Ping arrived with a wooden bowl full of porridge, and the three of them strolled towards the back mountain.
The trail in the mountain was quite rugged, and it took a lot of effort for the three of them to reach halfway up the mountain.
Luan Ping pointed to the flat area not far away and said that was where they made iron.
Looking along the way, Qin Hao saw several stoves, anvils and many blacksmithing tools, but they were covered with dissatisfied cobweb dust, which seemed to have been abandoned for many days.
"Let's go and take a look."
"Sir, this is charcoal specially used for blacksmithing." Luan Ping walked to the stove and picked up a piece of black material and handed it to Qin Hao.
Qin Hao knew this thing, it was coal, but the name was different in this era.
Holding the dark and rough gadget in his hand, Qin Hao laughed twice. Who would know now that this will be the main source of power for the industrial revolution in the future.
"This is called coal in our hometown, and you will call it that from now on." Putting down the coal in his hand, Qin Hao asked with concern, "Are there any coal mines near here?"
"Sir, there are a lot of rocks on the coal mountain. Basically, if you open a mine, you can get them out." Luan Ping stood aside and answered seriously.
Then, he rummaged in the stove a few more times, suddenly smiled, and came over with a small black stone and handed it to Qin Hao.
Could this be gold? Qin Hao took it and touched it a few times, then wiped away the black on the surface of the small black stone, revealing the yellowish body in the middle.
Qin Hao took it and looked at it under the sun for a few times. It had a brass-like luster, so it was gold.
"Luanping, do you know where this gold mine is?" Qin Hao handed the small piece of gold to Li Guo aside and looked at Luanping expectantly.
"Sir, there are less than 10 mines in this mountain in total." Luan Ping said decisively, "There must be one among them. As long as the mines are opened again, they will be found soon."
"Um"
Qin Hao replied and then fell into deep thought. Now he had more and more problems to solve. He was overwhelmed with Chen Hu's story, the fate of the village girl, the arrangements for the people on the terraces, and whether the gold mine would be reopened. .
This is the rhythm to force him to death. It would be great if there was someone to advise him.
[Hey, mission accomplished]
[Side Mission - Destroy the Bandits]
[On the endless mountains, there are bandits of all sizes, wipe them out and recruit them, and restore peace to this place]
[Appendix 1: Not everyone is willing to be a bandit. There are also women and children among them. Please identify and comfort them. 1% of the number of people recruited and surrendered is the mission reward unit.
[Appendix 2: Of course, there are also some long-standing villains who have committed many crimes, and they are beheaded in public. 10% of the people killed will be the mission reward troops]
[Attachment 1 Mission Reward—Shuntian Dead Soldier X11]
When Qin Hao summoned soldiers before, the system prompted that these soldiers could be summoned within one kilometer around him. This time he wanted to give it a try.
Just when he was about to bring it up, another notification sound came from the riding and slashing system.
【drop! 】
[Given that the host is currently facing talent problems, the system now officially adds a talent panel to solve the host's troubles]
[Currently, there is a talent template ready for administration, which can be exchanged for this character reward; or you can wait for the next task recruitment]
[Recruitment]
Seeing that the system is so powerful, what else can I say? Of course, I will recruit.
Although there is a shortage of soldiers at this stage, it is a shortage of big gaps. Eleven or twelve cannot make Qin Hao's forces make earth-shaking changes. This administrative talent can handle many of the problems he encounters.
The key is to save worry. Qin Hao does not want to live too hard in this life.
[Task extraction completed]
[Administrative character-Zhuge Xuan]
[Character advantage: good at handling internal affairs]
[Character evaluation: The superior son of the Wuhou family, handsome, full of poetry, knows astronomy, geography, knows 4000 years in the past and 400 years in the future]
Just after the task was extracted, a Nord guard climbed halfway up the mountain, bowed, and handed over a letter.
What's going on? Qin Hao was a little surprised.
After taking the letter and opening it, he looked at it for a few times and felt like laughing.
He only saw that the letter said:
The mountain never tires of soil, so it can become high; the sea never tires of water, so it can become deep; the king never tires of scholars, so the world is at peace.
Although my virtue and talent are not as good as my ancestors, I am still proud; if you want to buy my bones with a thousand gold, I will wait for you at the foot of the mountain.
"Hahaha, this Zhuge Xuan is interesting."
Qin Hao smiled and put the letter into the envelope and put it on his waist. He went down the mountain with Li Guo and the others, and couldn't wait to meet this great talent recruited by the system.
