Chapter 24 (1/2)
The next day, just after dawn, ye Lingyue finished her daily practice and went to yejiashifang according to ye HuangYun's arrangement.
Yejia started with iron ore. Shifang is to cut the ore excavated from Qixing mountain, and then classify and screen it. After preliminary refining, it is sent to the county for sale.
Shifang can also carry out small-scale ore trading to supply the daily expenses of iron shops and residents in Qiufeng town. Therefore, it is Yejia stone workshop, but it is also a small market.
Each year, the Ye family has 70% or 80% of its income, which depends on Shifang. Therefore, Shifang is second only to Yejia mine in importance.
”Lingyue, this is your first time to Shifang. I'll show you around.” In charge of leading ye Lingyue is Ye Sheng, a big cousin who met her on the clan test.
Ye Sheng is 16 years old and looks pretty, just because he is the eldest grandson of the Ye family, and he can't help being arrogant.
when he mentions ye Lingyue, he doesn't have much impression on her, only knowing that she was born a fool.
This time, ye Lingyue made a great success in the clan test. Her father, ye HuangYun, was also full of praise for ye Lingyue, saying that she was a little genius.
Ye Sheng looked at it today and felt that ye Lingyue was just like this. He just fluently defeated Ye Ning, and he was called a little genius. His father was too exaggerating.
In Ye Sheng's opinion, the third aunt was a genius when she was young, which does not mean that her daughter is also a genius. The only genius that Ye Sheng can admit to is ye Liuyun.
At the end of the month, you can't help but ask the leaves of Lingfang.
”Lingyue, you are the Ye family. Do you know what the main business of the Ye family is?” Ye Shengbian walks, asking ye Lingyue.
”Mines and iron ore. I heard that it was because he discovered a big mine in the mountains that he got his home. ” Ye Lingyue knows a little about Ye's family history.
”Wrong, how can ordinary iron ore support the whole Ye family. What the Ye family is really good at is refining iron and refining dark iron Ye Sheng skimmed her lips, and despised ye Lingyue's ignorance.
Such a simple thing, even the three-year-old children of Ye family know that ye Lingyue doesn't know.
”Please give me some advice.” Ye Lingyue didn't care. Instead, she asked for advice with an open mind.
”Iron and dark iron are different. For example, the two piles in front of us are iron stones, and the silver ones are dark iron stones. The two look only slight color difference, but the price is 20 times different. Ordinary iron workers can cut and refine, but black iron can only be cut by those who are more than three times strong, and those who are more than five times strong can be refined. ” Said Ye Sheng picked up a piece of iron ore and dark iron stone, and ye Lingyue explained.
From ye Shengkou, ye Lingyue also knew a lot about iron and dark iron.
In summer, iron can only be used to forge civil appliances, but dark iron can be used to forge weapons and equip the army.
The output of dark iron stone is small, so it is very difficult to refine it. Even ye family can only refine it preliminarily.
Among the iron ore produced by Yejia mine every year, the proportion of dark iron and iron ore is 100 times different. However, it is also because ye family has a small part of dark iron that it can stand in Qiufeng town for many years.
After walking around the stone workshop, both the workers in the stone workshop and the businessmen and townspeople who came to trade with each other, when they met Ye Sheng, they couldn't help calling out ”master Ye Sheng” respectfully. It can be seen that Ye Sheng's status in the stone workshop is still very high.
Those people saw Ye Sheng beside him, followed by a beautiful woman, but they couldn't help looking at it. Ye Sheng didn't introduce him. It was obvious that he intended to cool the fallen leaves and Ling the moon.
