Chapter 2147 Leisurely Life
After Li Shen came out of the camp, he became much happier and the joy on his face was beyond words.
Not only is the harvest rich, but more importantly, there is also a chance to obtain two mineral veins.
Iron and gold mines.
Iron ore is very important to Li Shen. It is an important strategic material for Li Shen's future development, whether it is steel or various alloys.
Its main materials are all based on iron.
Because of Li Shen's limited knowledge, he only knew that there was such a thing as alloy, but he had no idea how to fuse them and what the proportions were.
All of this depends on the research institute's continuous exploration, experimentation and experience summary.
Fortunately, alloys are not new. Our ancestors had already studied and produced alloys as early as the pre-Qin period.
Bronze ware is an alloy of copper.
During this period, many kinds of metal elements have been discovered, such as the common gold, silver, copper, iron, as well as tin, lead, mercury and so on.
After more than years of research, the Ji Wang Mansion has also discovered some other metals, but Li Shen doesn't know them and can't name them.
Although he is not a professional, Li Shen knows that any mineral vein has associated minerals, but he just does not have the technology.
With Li Shen's current technology and existing conditions, he can only carry out research on alloys based mainly on iron.
There is no need to talk about the gold mine, it's money, lots and lots of money.
It’s just that in a sense, iron ore is more useful to Li Shen.
"Chase him, chase him, don't let him get away."
On the plain, Li Shen was galloping on his horse, surrounded by a group of people and horses, pointing and shouting in a direction not far ahead.
He was in a good mood these two days and took people out hunting.
Li Shen's hunting style was very aristocratic. A thousand guards formed a circle and drove all kinds of prey to Li Shen's side.
Li Shen shot him to death with arrows again.
But Li Shen gave up using the bow and arrow and instead shot with a crossbow.
"Shoot!" Tie Niu gave an order, and hundreds of crossbow arrows were fired at the same time, killing the wild boar fleeing in front.
Why did they fire hundreds of guns at once? Because Li Shen found that his hit rate was almost zero when he shot alone. Only when there were many people around would his hit rate be 100%.
Li Shen felt that this might be a system bug.
With a neigh, the wild boar fell to the ground. Tie Niu waved his hand and his personal guards immediately rode over on horseback.
When they arrived at the place where the wild boar fell, the guards dismounted, first took out their long knives and stabbed the wild boar a few times, then squatted down and
He pulled out the arrow feathers from the wild boar, searched secretly, pulled out an arrow from the many arrows on the ground, and thrust it hard into the wild boar's neck.
After finishing everything, he stood up and shouted to the back:
"Your Majesty, I hit him. Your Majesty is a great archer. He killed him with one shot."
"Hahaha, let me see it quickly." Li Shen burst into laughter after hearing this and rode his horse to the side.
The guard quickly pulled out the only arrow stuck in his neck and handed it to Li Shen.
Shitou immediately came over to catch it, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off the arrow.
Li Shen took a look at the mark on the arrow.
"Haha, yes, it's my arrow." There is his exclusive mark on it, in order to distinguish it from others.
"Your Highness is indeed amazing. His riding and archery skills are superb. He is truly the best archer in the Tang Dynasty."
Shitou immediately began to flatter.
"Haha, no, no, you can't say that. You have to know that there are always people who are better than you. There are many talented people in our Tang Dynasty. Don't underestimate the people in the world."
Li Shen laughed and said modestly, who doesn't like to hear good words? Praise is the first killer weapon in communication.
Even if you know that the other person is bragging about you, you will still be very happy in your heart.
"Come here, have someone take this wild boar back and use it as a snack for the soldiers." Li Shen waved his hand with great heroism.
He hunts not for food, but for fun. No wonder so many royal princes like hunting. It is really interesting.
Even his dad likes hunting.
He didn't need to take care of the things here. There were naturally people to collect the crossbow arrows. Li Shen was still not satisfied, so he turned his horse's head and gave an order:
"Let's go, let's kill a few more. This one isn't enough for so many people."
He rushed out first, howling:
"Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo~Woo~" The hunting time has begun.
"Report~~~~"
I don’t know how much time had passed, but just when Li Shen was having fun, a guard came riding over on horseback.
"Your Highness Prince Ji, Governor Qu has personally brought his men here and has arrived at the camp."
The guard came to Li Shen, dismounted, saluted and reported.
"You came so soon?" Li Shen was stunned. He hadn't had enough fun yet. But business was more important, so Li Shen had to end the hunt.
"Pass on my order. Take all the prey and return to the camp."
As soon as Li Shen gave an order, the messenger immediately went to pass the order, and a thousand guards instantly formed a formation and escorted Li Shen back.
"Sir, thank you for your hard work."
In the camp, Xue Rengui was receiving Qu Zhiping at this moment. He did not expect that Qu Zhiping would come in person.
"General Xue, you are too polite. Your Highness has risked his life to wipe out the rebels for the sake of our people. I am deeply grateful.
For matters like this, you should come here in person." Qu Zhiping said politely.
"Our prince has always loved the people like his own children. When he heard that the rebels were harassing the local people and many of them were killed by the rebels, he was so grief-stricken that he lost his appetite and couldn't sleep at night.
Zeng Yan must avenge the innocent people who were killed.
This time the prince has achieved his wish." Xue Rengui waved his hand.
“Your Highness is kind and loving, and you truly deserve to be the son of His Majesty the Khan. I would like to thank His Highness Prince Ji for his grace on behalf of the people of our tribe.
I also thank the general and the soldiers for eradicating the rebels for the people.”
Qu Zhiping bowed again.
"Prefect Qu, please take a seat and have a cup of tea. It will probably take a while for His Royal Highness Prince Ji to return.
In the past few days, His Royal Highness Prince Ji has been very busy. He has personally led people to search for the rebels' traces and wipe out the remnants of the rebels to prevent the rebels from attacking your tribe again.
Going out early and coming back late every day is very tiring, which makes me feel ashamed. "
Xue Rengui showed a look of shame on his face.
"Prince Ji is righteous." Qu Zhiping praised.
The two chatted for a while, about half an hour later, they heard a noisy sound outside.
"I think it's the prince who has returned." Xue Rengui stood up after hearing this, and Qu Zhiping also stood up and went out to greet him.
At this moment in the camp, many guards were watching Li Shen's battle results.
There are wild boars, goats, the unique red deer, and several Tianshan snow wolves.
The two of them looked at the things on the ground, and Xue Rengui blushed a little. He had just boasted that Prince Ji had gone to suppress the bandits, but he was slapped in the face too quickly, wasn't he?
"Hahahaha, Governor Qu is here."
At this time, Li Shen changed into his casual clothes and walked over.
"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness Prince Ji." When Qu Zhiping saw Li Shen, he quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Well, no need to be polite. Let's go to my central military tent and talk."
(It’s the end of the month, my friends…)
