Hearing Harry's description, Geralt had a bottom line.

The Devil's Stone in their mouths, if nothing else, is the coal mine in Geralt's perception.

Geralt looked at Wilkin and asked, "Did you bring back any samples?"

Wilkin took out another black stone from his suitcase and handed it to Geralt.

"Sir, this is Black Stone."

Of course, Wilkin also knew the name of the Devil's Stone, but Geralt ordered him to bring back all the minerals he found, so he also brought a piece of black stone, which didn't take much effort anyway.

Taking the stone from Wilkin's hand, Geralt took a closer look and found out that this was the coal in his mind, so he laughed out loud.

"Haha, Wilkin, it really belongs to you. With coal, we can do more things."

Harry and Wilkin looked at each other with some doubts in their eyes, Wilkin asked.

"Sir, what are you talking about coal? What else can you do for us?"

Geralt threw the coal in his hand on the table, pointed to it and said:

"No matter what you called it before, now it can only be called 'coal' in our territory!"

"As for what you can do with it..."

Geralt suggested several options without hesitation.

"Heating in winter, cooking on fire, and... steelmaking in blast furnaces!"

"Of course, it is safe and reliable. The reason why those people you mentioned will die in its hands is because the burning of rough coal will release a toxic substance, but I have a reliable way to use it!"

Seeing the worry in Harry and Wilkin's eyes, Geralt said decisively.

Harry's worried eyes disappeared, and they said respectfully:

"Your will."

Geralt nodded and ordered Wilkin with a smile.

"Later, I will ask Harry to transfer people to form a mining team, and you will be responsible for the command and safety of mining operations, do you understand?"

Wilkin got up and knelt on the ground and said loudly.

"Vilkin will definitely not let the adults down!"

"Well, I believe you." Geralt responded in a pertinent voice, and turned to Harry.

"The recruitment of manpower will be completed within today. The members of the mining group should not be less than 100. The two mines will operate at the same time, and each location should have at least 15 combatants who are responsible for protecting the mining group and surrounding vigilance."

Harry nodded. Although there are some difficulties, they can be overcome.

"Also..." Geralt continued.

"In addition, I instructed Gaudi to first take out half of the people who built the city wall and build the road from the stronghold to the mine!"

"Understood, my lord." Harry should be.

"Then let's act."

Geralt clapped his hands, Harry and Wilkin bowed out, leaving Geralt alone in the office.

He continued to sit on the chair, rubbing his chin with his hands on his chin without a beard and muttering to himself.

"Coal, coking coal, honeycomb briquettes..."

-----------------------------------------

Time flies.

The two minerals in Baishi Mountain have been excavated and mined. Wilkin and the soldiers are here to take charge of the command and protection. The territory can now enter a lot of ores in a day.

The iron ore returned to the stronghold and was transported to the blacksmith shop, where it was turned into iron ingots in the round-the-clock tempering of the blacksmith shop.

The coal mine was handed over to the members of the manufacturing group responsible for burning charcoal under Geralt's arrangement, and the soldiers responsible for burning charcoal tried to smelt coking coal by smoldering charcoal. Although the success rate was not high, it did Some of the coking coal Geralt needs is made, and the rest is a matter of accumulated experience.

In addition to smelting coking coal, Geralt set aside a part of the coal mines that enter the territory every day to make briquettes, which are used to make fires and cook in the territory. The production is much simpler than coking coal, and it is not much different from the previous brick making.

First find a flat piece of coal to smash the coal mine into coal ash with a hammer, pile the collected crushed coal ash into a small pile, mix it with sticky loess, pile it up into a hill shape, dig a big hole in the middle, and pour it inside water.

Then cover the coal ash with a shovel and wait for about 20 minutes to allow the water to fully penetrate into the coal ash.

Use a shovel to mix the coal ash that has penetrated into the water. When mixing, use a shovel to smash the large pieces of coal ash, and mix while beating. Grab the mixed coal ash with your hands and feel loose when you grasp it. Then hold it with both hands and grasp it, and it can be grasped and shaped.

Fill the bucket with water, dip the water into the bucket with a coal shovel, press the honeycomb-shaped coal shovel on the coal ash pile, press it firmly, take it out, and find a clean place to press the honeycomb out.

Put the prepared briquettes in the place where the solar energy is exposed to the sun. If the weather is good, it can be dried in one day. If it is cloudy, let it dry for some more time, and the briquettes can be used after drying.

The general process is like this, because it is not much different from brick making, the soldiers learned it almost after watching it once, and arranged for more than a dozen people to make briquettes. few.

The frost and snow have completely dissipated, the climate has become more and more pleasant, and the territory is thriving in a busy scene.

The earth is getting warmer~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The seeds of oats sprout under the care of the farmers. After the farmers have planted the whole 200 acres of fields with oats, the seeds are also used up. By September, this large field will be completely consumed. There will be harvest.

And the wheat that had been planted in winter came out one after another, and the wheat field with 300 acres of green stubble was very beautiful.

The chicks were moved out of the conservatory, chasing and frolic in the yard dedicated to their breeding, and the chicken feed with earthworms and beet dregs was very popular with them, and attracted them whenever the soldiers who tended them poured the feed into the trough. Crazy looting.

Under the condition of eating concentrated feed every day, the chickens became stronger and stronger. Whenever Geralt passed by here, he would think of all kinds of chicken delicacies he had eaten before, and he couldn't help drooling. tears.

Agriculture and animal husbandry in the territory is booming, and the construction of the city wall under the leadership of architect Gaudí is also progressing.

When the civilians who built the city wall became more and more handy, the two-meter-thick and three-meter-high masonry city wall rapidly expanded to both sides at a speed of more than ten meters per day.

Such rapid progress depends of course on the good fit of the bricks. The flat brick surface can be smeared with a layer of adhesive material and placed on the other brick surface. When the civilians become more and more skilled, the city walls are built. The speed picked up all of a sudden.

In the rapid development of Geralt's territory, Baron Dumir of the Hamil Khanate in the Prairie sent his subordinates to Baishi Mountain.

Dozens of sturdy cavalrymen galloped on the grassland on horses under their crotch, and one of the cavalrymen asked his captain.

"Captain, what if the bandits in Baishi Mountain don't want to turn over more slaves?"

And the captain's response to him was a word floating in the wind.

"kill!"
