For skilled hands, he was concerned about whether he could successfully produce the first furnace of molten iron and the quality of the first furnace. But for another Taiping Army official here, the work here made him *************. This person was the county magistrate of Qianfeng County and the seventh-level peak martial arts master Lu Feng.

After the Taiping Army entered Fengxian, Lu Feng directly joined the Liu family through his several dates with Mr. Liu. However, under the Liu family, this latecomer was not valued as he imagined. Liu family has his own team that has been used for a long time, with a deep family background, which also represents a large number of talents. Of course, it also means that a carrot and a half-way person can join in. How could he enter its core circle in a short time?

In Liu's family, Lufeng became a brick, and he moved wherever he needed. Of course, whatever he needed to go was not a lot of money, nor was it easy to do it. It was often thankless work, which made him complain, but he couldn't do it with all his heart. He hoped that one day he would be valued by the current head of the family, Liu Xingwen, and let his life embark on a new stage.

Liu Xingwen was ordered to form the Shayang County City Guard. Lu Feng once had high hopes. After all, he had been a county magistrate, led troops, and fought wars. In terms of qualifications, compared with the goods Liu Xingwen had in his hands, he would win more than one level in terms of kung fu and experience. Although the city guards were not the current Taiping Army field army, they were responsible for the internal security of the entire Shayang County. In Lu Feng's view, if everything goes well in the Taiping Army, this city guard would inevitably enter the ranks of the field army with the expansion of the Taiping Army, thereby realizing his dream.

But this was destined to be another dream that disappointed him. Liu Xingwen formed the city guard army, and the main body was the private soldiers of the five major officials. After orders were issued one by one, he still did not get the position he expected. Liu Xingwen seemed to have forgotten him.

Amid the loss and anger, someone extended a helping hand to him. The one who extended his hand to him was not someone else, but his old partner when he was in Fengxian. Now Ge Qingsheng, the lord of Taiping City, is now Ge Qingsheng.

Lu Feng left Shayang County, left the Wutong Branch that he once thought, accepted an appointment from the Taiping Army, and went deep into the mountains to serve as the place named Taiping Iron Mine by Qin Feng, and served as the magistrate of the mine protection camp.

The name is not good, and his subordinates are only over a thousand, but the targets are as many as 20,000 prisoners of war.

These prisoners of war are not ordinary prisoners of war, but are more than 20,000 young and energetic guys. These guys are not good at slaughter, obedient, cowardly, and family-friendly. They have been screened out, and those who come here are basically uncontrollable.

The number of prisoners of war was twenty times the number of his soldiers. More importantly, his subordinates were not brave and warlike veterans. In his eyes, these soldiers were not even as good as those of the county soldiers he had led before, and were all farmers who had just recruited and put down their hoes.

It is indeed a huge challenge for Lu Feng to take such a group of rookies and suppress so many prisoners.

But as Ge Qingsheng said, if there is no challenge, how can you show your ability, and if there is no difficulty, how can you show the joy of your success?

There is nothing in this world that can be easily succeeded. If you want to get it, you must first give.

With a mentality of trying his best, Lu Feng came to Taiping Iron Mine. If he succeeded, he would be the beginning of his glory.

More than 20,000 prisoners were divided into four different mining areas. The largest central mining area gathered more than 10,000 prisoners, and Lu Feng also set up his management office in the central mining area. Here, he left only more than 100 soldiers to assist him in the management.

In the past six months, he has grown a lot, but what makes him proud is that at least until now, everything has been peaceful in Taiping Iron Mine. He has used all means he can to maintain the safety of Taiping Iron Mine.

Today, Li Feng, the highest leader of the Taiping Army, will come to Taiping Iron Mine for inspection. This is the best time for Lu Feng to show his abilities. He will not miss this opportunity again. For him, when the Taiping Army entered Feng County, he had already lost an opportunity because of his short-sightedness. Look at Ge Qingsheng, he has now become one of the core members of the Taiping Army and controls the Taiping Army's nest alone.

My ability is not as bad as Ge Qingsheng. The only difference is that there is only opportunity.

After receiving the news that the Taiping Army leader General Li Feng arrived here in person, Lu Feng had not had a normal rest for several days. He walked day and night in the four major mining areas, checking all security measures over and over again. During this period, no mistakes could occur.

A mistake at this time will be magnified countless times, destroying the achievements he has worked hard in the past few months.

What made him feel relieved was that on the first day of Li Feng's arrival, Dazhu appeared in the mining area with a thousand guard camps. The senior officials of the Taiping Army naturally understood that the Taiping Iron Mine had huge dangers, and their leaders must not have problems.

Seeing the armor and the majestic pillar, Lu Feng was so envious that he almost vomited blood. When he was already a county magistrate, the person in front of him was still a refugee with nothing. But now, looking at him, he had left him far behind. If he could stay by the supreme leader, he would be destined to have an extremely bright future.

A large red flower had been hung on the largest blast furnace. A viewing platform was set up opposite it. Lu Feng, who was in charge of Taiping Iron Mine and security, was waiting here early to welcome the inspection from the senior Taiping Army.

Taiping Iron Mine is located deep in the mountains and the terrain is steep. This iron smelting plant is built in the canyon. Only a single road leads to the outside of the mountain. At the entrance, a high city wall was built. When the city gate was closed, the iron plant was completely isolated from the world.

A sentry on the city wall turned around and waved his arms inside, calling loudly. Zhishou and Lu Feng were both excited and walked towards the city gate. The boss had already arrived.

The two of them stood at the gate of the city, and there were flags flying in the distance. The one who was leading the way was a group of boy soldiers riding on horses. The largest one was only fourteen or fifteen years old. The childish face was full of pride. After them, Qin Feng (Li Feng), the boss of the Taiping Army. Behind him were Quan Yun, the commander of the City Guard, Liu Xingwen, the commander of the Taiping City Guard, Ge Qingsheng, and of course, there were several other heads of the family of Shayang County. It can be said that the top leaders of the Taiping Army almost came out.

Qin Feng looked at several blast furnaces towering in the canyon, his eyes were particularly bright. At this time, steel was always strategic and intimate materials. For example, the Western Qin and border troops were as powerful as the border army. Not to mention decent armor, some of them could even be equipped with weapons. But he might really have the favor of God to find such a large iron ore deep in the mountains. When Wang Yueyao sent someone to report the news to him that the quarrying workers discovered this place, he was so ecstatic that he could not control himself. As the most experienced craftsman in the Liu family iron plant confirmed the amount and quality of the mineral resources here, Qin Feng was so happy that he was about to go crazy. The discovery of this iron ore would mean that he would remove the confinement that would best restrict him in his future development.

Liu Xingwen was also very complicated. Liu's family has been in charge of the steel transactions in Shayang County for so many years, but he has not found that there is such a huge amount of wealth within his control, or it is really a matter of God's will. Now the ownership of this iron ore belongs to the Taiping Army, not the Liu Family, which makes him a little disappointed. However, the Taiping Army has no technical reserves and can only rely on the Liu Family in terms of technology. Ten percent of the technology investment finally gave Liu Family some comfort.

With the official start of construction of Taiping Iron Mine, the small mines in the Liu family's previous family have officially closed down, but the 10% income of Taiping Iron Mine is also more profitable than the previous mines.

"I've seen the general!" Clever hand and Lu Feng strode forward and bowed to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng casually patted Qiaoshou's shoulder. This was an old brother, so there was no need to say anything. He turned his head slightly, looked at Lu Feng, nodded, and said, "Personnel Lu, thank you for your hard work. You have lost a lot in the past few months."

When Lu Feng took office, Qin Feng saw him and said bluntly about the difficulties here. He gave Lu Feng the right to choose freely. Qin Feng didn't know much about Lu Feng because there was really no suitable candidate in his bag, and Ge Qingsheng's strong recommendation also played a huge role. However, now it seems that the original choice was still good, and Ge Qingsheng's recommendation was also very accurate. This former Feng County lieutenant only used more than 1,000 new recruits, but took on the heavy responsibility of managing tens of thousands of prisoners, making everything here peaceful. This contribution is no worse than killing the enemy on the battlefield.

When Lu Feng heard Qin Feng's faint words, his eyes were hot and he almost burst into tears. During the months he worked for Liu, he was born many times, but he never heard a compliment.

"The general values ​​it and has entrusted it with important tasks. Lu Feng will naturally repay you." He said in a firm tone, and his eyes swept across Liu Xingwen. Seeing a trace of unnatural flashing across the other person's face, a trace of pleasure flashed through his heart.

Walking up to the viewing platform, Qin Feng stood in front, holding the railing tightly with both hands, still feeling a little nervous, and stood beside him with a clever hand, holding a small red flag in his hand, took a deep breath, raised the red flag, and fell down suddenly.

The gate in front of the blast furnace opened, and the red molten iron flowed out along the notch, gradually filling the grooves and injecting the mold on the last side, and hot air came to the face. Even on the viewing platform far apart, you could still feel the heat waves, and deafening cheers sounded in the Grand Canyon. (To be continued.)
