Chapter 137: No way, no way(2/2)
When the man heard this, he felt aggrieved: "I am your cousin, Chen Zhengxian."
Chen Zhengtai was surprised. Oh, he was still a relative. Oh, yes, he did send a group of Chen family to mine before. He hadn't seen him for so many days, and he almost forgot.
Chen Zhengtai hurriedly said, "Oh, my cousin has become like this."
Chen Zhengxian felt even more aggrieved: "You taught us."
Chen Zhengtai could only laugh dryly.
Chen Zhengxian said: "I wonder when we will go back to Chang'an?"
"Let's keep staying here first. It's pretty good here, okay, don't talk too much, prepare for mining."
Chen Zhengxian wanted to cry, but when he came, he was looking for death!
It is hard here, and I have to do hard work every day, which is not a life for people. He cursed Chen Zhengtai every day, but slowly, working here every day gradually became numb and used to it!
When I saw Chen Zhengtai again this time, I suddenly felt that the past years were quiet and peaceful, as if it was a different world.
Now that my cousin asked them to start mining, Chen Zhengxian was like a conditioned mouse, and he suddenly gave up his distracting thoughts.
So he called out without hesitation: "Old Jiu, Thirteen, follow me."
His voice was assured, and it seemed to have become another person.
Two strong men came out.
One of them was carefully carrying several large bamboo tubes on his back.
Immediately, they began to walk towards the depths of the mine.
When he reached the depths of the mine vein, Chen Zhengxian started looking for something here!
Finally, his eyes lit up and said to the old Jiu, Thirteen: "It's here, get ready for the guy."
The old Jiu immediately took out the big bamboo tube from behind him, and then stuffed the big bamboo tube into the gap between a certain rock.
Chen Zhengxian looked around the gap for a long time, then observed the terrain, and then said cautiously: "I'm afraid the dosage is not enough, so add another dose of medicine."
So another bamboo tube was stuffed into another gap between the stones. Chen Zhengxian tamped the two bamboo tubes hard, then rubbed the two extremely long leads exposed outside the bamboo tube, wrapped the two leads, then carried the leads, stepped back step by step, and began to wiring.
He was busy for a long time and finally stepped back before he said to the Thirteen: "Catch the fire, please pay attention. Go back. There is still a southeast corner in front of you, so you can't stand."

Li Shimin and others, after hearing Chen Zhengtai's advice, stood far away.
But they were very strange. Didn’t they agree to mine it?
But the vast miners retreated far away, and only three people entered the depths of the mine. It turned out that they were all having a good meal?
Changsun Wuji shook his head and said, "This is not how the ore is dug. It takes so much effort. I don't know when the ore will be mined."
Li Shimin couldn't help but look disappointed on his face. It turned out that Chen Zhengtai called me, but was wasting his efforts?
Li Tai received praise from His Majesty and many people today. He said with a flushed face: "The so-called sharpening of a knife does not delay chopping wood, maybe the senior brother is still sharpening the knife."
"Hahahaha..." Wei Xuanzhen and others laughed together behind him.
The ridicule in this laugh is very obvious!
When Li Shimin turned to them coldly, their laughter stopped abruptly and no one dared to be arrogant anymore.
But at this moment...
Sudden……
There was a loud bang, as if it was rushing into the sky!
The earth suddenly shook, as if the heaven and earth changed color.
Wei Xuanzhen and others were so scared that they lay on the ground. They all looked pale and frightened!
What happened, what happened...
But when I saw rocks flying in front of me, thick smoke rolled out from afar, and many broken rocks splashed everywhere.
After a while, the mine returned to peace.
At this time... countless miners emerged from safe places. They all wore rattan hats and bamboo baskets on their backs, and were sturdy towards the depths of the ore veins.
They also had pickaxes in their hands, but this pickaxes were not very useful. More people bent down and first picked up the ore scattered on the ground. In just a moment, they filled the bamboo baskets behind them, and then flocked down the mountain one by one.
Only some unbreakable ore was smashed with picks to open and then picked them up into the bamboo basket.
The hundreds of people quickly filled the bamboo baskets and then transported them to the workshop at the foot of the mountain.
Changsun Wuji stared at it with wide eyes, confused for a moment.
Mining, can it be mined like this?
With such excavation speed, the Changsun family's iron ore mining efficiency is more than ten times higher.
Suddenly, he suddenly realized!
No wonder the Chen family has only been mining here for several months, but the mine pit formed seems to have been decades of hard work. It turns out that these guys are playing like this?
By the way, gunpowder...is gunpowder... In the past, everyone only thought that gunpowder could blow up the Turks, but they didn't expect that they could even open mountains and explode stones.
And at this moment... everyone was silent.
With this digging method, isn’t the Chen family… a mine, which is equivalent to dozens of mines from others?
God knows if there are other veins nearby. If there are such veins, and several or even dozens of mines are started at the same time, who can stop the Chen family in this world?
Li Shimin's eyes had already emitted light, and he felt indescribable excitement. It was indeed... this trip was worth it.
Chen Zhengtai had already come back in a hurry and said with a smile: "Mr., look... how about digging like this?"
"Excellent." Li Shimin said happily: "What kind of mine is this?"
"Copper Mine." Chen Zhengtai said: "Please move to the workshop, it's even more interesting."
Copper mine...
Everyone took a breath.
It seems that someone has started to have a little bad premonition.
Suddenly, someone began to think of the copper coins used by the Chen family to buy their land.
That copper coin... shines brightly, and it looks like new money. If you say this... wouldn't that be...
No, no... Even if you make money, it shouldn't be possible to make so many.
It would definitely not be like this, if so... I will eat the money!
They comforted themselves like this, but... this idea has been lingering.
What if...what if there is really this?
Everyone looked at Li Tai speechlessly.
Li Tai seemed to notice something was wrong, but... he was calm after all, still smiling, looking calm.
Li Shimin was in a good mood and said enthusiastically: "Okay, let's go with Chen Zhengtai to see how the Chen family smelted copper."
