In order to transport these saltpeters, two military strongholds were established between Baishan Fortress and Hongtu City. Now they can only be regarded as military strongholds, and even their families have not been transferred.

Each of these two strongholds has fifty cavalry and one hundred infantry stationed. There have been wooden fences and four wooden arrow towers. Usually, some scattered monsters around them will naturally be cleaned up. They are not afraid of encountering stronger monsters or large numbers of monsters. Now, just light up wolf smoke to summon legendary strong men.

Now there are too few masters in the territory of Marquis Raphael, so Link has to act as a firefighter himself. Anyway, he can open a magic portal and just go and see the wolf smoke.

Unless there is an ancient dragon or a Titan giant, there is nothing to be afraid of.

As for the reserves, Master Iron Felt dug dozens of inclined shafts around Baishan in a few months and found that the underground around Baishan is still saltpeter mines. The deepest inclined shaft has reached more than 70 meters deep, but there is still no rock layer. In a word, saltpeter is all saltpeter.

Although the reserves of this mineral are not as good as those of some huge coal mines and iron ore that stretch for dozens of miles, they can also be described as rich reserves.

The point is that the saltpeter mine here is easy to mine and is completely open-pit mining. At least this has been the case in the past 100 or 100 years. These saltpeters on the ground can be sold for more than 100 or 100 years, and the saltpeter reserves under the ground are no less than those on the ground.

Four months after the construction of the White Mountain Fortress, Link, Master Iron Felt and Constance took fifty cavalrymen to the road again to continue exploring new minerals. Although the saltpeter mines in Baishan are already a good fortune, who would think that there are too many mines in their home?

The Iron Felt Master has also hired for a year, so it’s useless. At least after this exploration, I have a foundation in my heart if there are any minerals nearby.

As for the Iron Felt Master himself, he is even more enthusiastic about the exploration of new mines. He can find more rich mines. When looking for minerals in the future, everyone is willing to choose themselves. The dwarves in the imperial capital of the Holy Empire said no more or less, and there are still hundreds of dwarve families.

As for dwarves, they are just exploration and ironwork. They all speak of it as competitive.

The world on the ground is still too dangerous for the dwarfs. Only a small number of adventurous dwarves will mingle in the human world. For the dwarfs, the world on the ground outside is either a dragon or a giant, and it is safer to live underground. Giants and dragons have no ability to run to the ground.

However, the underground cave world is not absolutely safe, and there are many monsters living here, otherwise the dwarfs would not develop any dwarf muskets and other weapons.

The design and concept of the dwarf musket is for combat in underground caves.

In the underground cave, where the area is narrow and the area is wide, cities have long been established by intelligent races living underground. In this way, the biggest problem with dwarf muskets is that the disadvantage of insufficient range naturally disappears.

As for slow loading, it is not a problem. Anyway, the dwarves go out in groups. The last one of the teams fired the dwarf muskets, and the first dwarf to shoot had already been filled. This way, there was continuous firepower.

In this second exploration, dozens of exploration wells were drilled in five months, and only one silver-copper companion mine was found.

The right to mint the Holy Empire is only owned by the royal family of the Holy Empire.

However, no matter whether you are a nobleman of all sizes or merchants, as long as you sell gold, silver and copper at the Royal Mint, you can get 85% of gold, silver and copper coins based on the weight of gold, silver and copper coins, and the remaining 15% are the mint tax collected by the Royal Mint.

This is reasonable. It also costs money to build a mint by yourself. Moreover, even if the work is not started, the mint will have to support workers, and the profit may not be very high.

With the Royal Mint, everyone was happy. The merchants and nobles had mines and refined them and could exchange them for money. The Royal Mint got a certain profit, and the right to mint was firmly grasped in the royal family.

If there is anything worthy of praise, this silver-copper companion mine is not very far from Baishan Fortress, and it is a little more than a day.

It can be seen that a stronghold should be established in the middle to be used as a night for convoys to travel around.

If these newly built strongholds are added to the White Mountain Fortress and the future Silver Mountain Fortress, Marquis Link Raphael, a baron territory will be almost added.

When the monsters near these strongholds were almost cleaned up, some immigrant villages could be established along the strongholds. Most of the places along the way were land suitable for farming.

The lords of the Raphael family in the past thought that they would move forward and ask for land from the monsters. However, the immigrant village strongholds that were established again and again were destroyed by the monsters attacks again and again.

Before this war between Red Turk City and Trolls, there were still two military strongholds on the east side of Red Turk City, and they were also preparing to develop into villages and towns in the future. However, these two military strongholds were forced to give up under the saturation of the troll's thrown stones. The troops stationed inside were also seriously injured. After all, the huge rocks thrown by the trolls were dozens of kilograms, and they were either dead or disabled.

What causes all this is not because of insufficient combat power, but because of lack of money.

The Marquis of Raphael also has three powerful men in the Holy Realm, but they have not even purchased and used the latest enchantment carrier on the market that can greatly increase the combat power of the Holy Realm.

If you can fly, the threat of the huge rocks thrown by the trolls is not very big. Not to mention that the enchanting carrier is not just about flying. The enchanting carriers of level 3 and level 3 are only eight thousand gold coins in one set. If you buy three sets, the Marquis of Raphael and the Three Holy Lands may not die.

In fact, there was still some money in the Marquis Raphael's family. When they finally counted the warehouse, there were less than 40,000 gold coins in it. It was probably because of the different consumption concepts that the former Marquis Raphael made the decision not to buy the enchanted carrier.

As a result, the money of the former Marquis of Rafi was still there and the people were gone.

After exploring the nearby mountains, the group turned to Baishan Fortress to prepare to go back.

Silver Copper Mountain, Link is not yet ready to develop it. It requires a lot of manpower to develop silver and copper mines. Now, when the territory of Marquis Raphael is lacking in manpower, the mountain is here, and the mines will not run away from long legs. It will be developed after more people are needed in the future.

In fact, there is another option, which is to contract out this silver-copper companion mine and decide with the people of the commercial guild that the amount of money paid every year will be ignored in the future. As for the safety issues, the merchants even solve them themselves.

In this world, without certain force, you cannot run long-distance business and contract mines.

There is a famous saying in mainland China: No minerals are not covered with blood.
