Chapter 716 Mainline - The foundation of the eldest grandson's family
This boy Wang Xuance is the most motivated among the graduates of the same period.

In a very short period of time, he accomplished the goal that many officials from other places could not achieve in their lifetime - to become a Beijing official.

Although many local officials are living a comfortable life, most local officials cannot do so if they want to leave their names in history.

Before graduation, Leng Feng once asked him about his future goals.

Wang Xuance just said two words.

And Leng Feng's only requirement for him is to achieve the goal by virtue of his actual ability and meritorious service.

I just don't know what credit this kid has made, which is enough for him to enter the ranks of Beijing officials.

Looking at Zhou Jiao, who is also about to be transferred to Chang'an, Leng Feng said: "Recently, there may be a transportation team from Tianxialou coming to Dengzhou to deliver ore or even finished steel products. You have to arrange the handover."

Zhou Jiao nodded: "Your official must make arrangements."

After speaking, he let out a long sigh of relief.

What local officials are most afraid of is that a giant will come to the capital. It is neither flattering nor not flattering.

Fortunately, Duke Hu is not a monster, he doesn't need to flatter him deliberately, and he doesn't need to worry about his trajectory, as long as he does things honestly and according to orders.

In this way, there is still a lot of credit to be taken, so why not do it?

After returning to the camp, Leng Feng wrote a letter to the steward of Anshan, asking him to explore the iron ore as quickly as possible and supply it to the shipyard within a month at least.

After writing the letter, Leng Feng looked towards the door.

From the time when he was writing the letter, Li Tai was just watching him with mischievous eyes, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Seeing that the master finished writing the letter, Li Tai walked in with a smile and said, "Master, well, I think the shipyard still has a lot of steel in reserve. Tomorrow, the apprentice wants to build an iron-clad boat the size of a fishing boat. What do you think?"

Leng Feng thought for a while before saying, "It's not impossible, but you have to make up for it as soon as possible. After all, experiments at this stage will basically cause a lot of waste."

Li Tai nodded, as long as it can be made.

After getting the consent, he walked behind Leng Feng, and began to massage Leng Feng's shoulders attentively.

Leng Feng shrugged and stopped his movements: "If you fart, let it go, don't be courteous."

Li Tai, this kid, has always been courteous for nothing, either rape or robbery, such an obvious courteousness, he definitely has something to ask him for.

Li Tai scratched his head and said, "Master, only by making iron-clad ships can we continue to make progress in shipbuilding. I see that there are so many steel products, so I just want to build an iron fish boat. What do you think?"

Leng Feng slapped Li Tai's hand off: "It's a beautiful idea, have you forgotten the pressure I told you? Even if you can make it, it will be crushed by the water pressure if you go into the water or go deeper. When will you be able to build it?" Solve this problem, and then think about experimenting with it!"

Li Tai is very smart, so he realized it immediately. He scratched his head irritably, and found that he really couldn't solve this problem at this stage.

Leng Feng stood up and cleaned up all the letters on the desk.

Li Tai sat down at the desk scratching his head, and began to write and calculate with a pen.

Without disturbing the serious Li Tai, Leng Feng walked out of the study.

In the distance, there is a flame approaching, which looks like a long winding dragon.

Seems like an army.

The sentry also found the approaching army, and then the drums sounded.

Leng Feng walked to the edge of the shipyard, wanting to see which army it was.

Unexpectedly, it was the Dragon Tooth Army!
Er Gouzi and Li Erniu jumped off their horses, laughed loudly and said, "Boss, we are slow to go by land! We arrived so much later than you."

Leng Feng asked Li Erniu to arrange for the soldiers of the Dragon Tooth Army to station, and then asked Er Gouzi, "How is the investigation going?"

Er Gouzi leaned into Leng Feng's ear and said, "Boss, Changsun's family's iron mines have not been seriously mined at all. It seems that the output is low. As everyone knows, they are occupying Baoshan to pretend to be poor. The five iron mines have not been seriously mined."

Leng Feng nodded, it seemed that his guess was right.

Changsun Wuji is not an indecisive person. His family's iron mine has not been closed until now, and there are really tricks.

However, such trickery can't be used as a handle against him.

A family has the right to prepare its own back-up property, even in Taiping years.The eldest grandson's family occupied so many iron mines in order to prepare for the future competition in the world.

As long as the emperor's rule ends and the world returns to a chaotic world of strife, the Changsun family will be able to build a well-equipped army with these iron mines.

The emperor also saw this kind of action, but he couldn't stop it.

The emperor took turns to prepare for his future ambitions, which is what every patriarch of a large family has to do.He cannot condemn the present because of the possibility of the future.

"Hehe, let him occupy it if he wants to. I'm no longer interested in his family's iron mines. Besides, the era of cold weapons will soon be over. What can a few broken iron mines accomplish?"

Er Gouzi looked at his boss in a daze, and he found that what the boss said often sounded like a godsend.

However, these things have nothing to do with him. Although the journey was very hard, he still ordered his brother to take over as the guard next to the boss immediately.

The boss of one's own family has to be the guard of one's own family.

The letter was delivered early the next morning.

After receiving the letter, Feng Zhen, the steward, spat hard, and shouted to his subordinates: "The Lord Protector has sent you a letter. The shipyard needs iron, so let's quickly find the iron ore. Brothers, hurry up! Otherwise, we I choked on my food!"

Hearing Feng Zhen's words, many resting miners jumped up and started working.

In the world, maybe only these miners are the happiest.Not only do they have a lot of wages, but they are also full of food on weekdays, and even have a meal of meat every three or four days.

Don't be too happy.

Right now, the Lord Protector is writing to remind them that even if they stay up all night, they must find the iron ore as soon as possible, otherwise, what a shame!
Feng Zhen dug a shovel of sand in a small ravine, grabbed a handful and took a closer look.

After seeing the composition of the sand, he couldn't help but look at the hill.

If he guessed correctly, there is a rich iron mine above this small ravine.

After digging a shovel of sand casually, he confirmed the conjecture again.

A soldier of the Dragon Scale Army walked up to Feng Zhen: "Have you found anything?"

Feng Zhen nodded: "Maybe it's up there, but the bottom of this small ravine is full of rocks, so it's not easy to mine!"

The soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army curled their lips: "Did you forget what Lord Protector said? You just need to find out the approximate area. The rest of the work is ours. When the iron ore appears, it is time for you to continue working." .”

After speaking, the soldier began to call his companions to evacuate the crowd.

After the miners were all evacuated, the soldiers of the Dragon Scale Army brought out boxes of thunderbolts.
Jinglei, only they are qualified to use it, even if it is used for mining.
