Lord of the People: I rely on cheating for hegemony

Chapter 1464 Miner Fatty Jin

In February of Tianxuan 15, Qu Mao spent most of his time planting grass on the periphery of Yuexia City, transforming the original Gobi in the southeast of Yuexia City into pastures. Qu Mao is still very caring.

Not only camel pasture seeds, Qu Mao also selected three garrison fortresses with higher security and more abundant fresh water resources, and sprinkled some other pasture seeds among the surrounding camel pastures.

Green plant technology experts did not stop Qu Mao's small move, thinking that Qu Mao's move may change the scope of application of the Gobi Ranch in the future.

After planting grass in the nine permanent garrison fortresses outside Yuexia City for two weeks, Qu Mao left Yuexia City at the end of February 15 and started walking towards Metal City, Minmetals City and Iron Ore City.

After all, Qu Mao’s main task in the Kingdom of Shaliu, besides personally urging experts in green planting technology, Shi Buhui, Jiaxu, and firearms soldiers from the nine permanent garrison fortresses to plant Gobi pastures, is to promote the industry in the Kingdom of Shaliu. develop.

In the short term, the Marquis of Shaliu will not be able to achieve self-sufficiency through agriculture. It can only feed back the economy of the Holy Land of Emperor Yi through industry and trade with the Fulu Empire.

In about two weeks, Qu Mao personally took the firearms soldiers from the nine fortresses to scatter camel grass seeds within 2-3 kilometers outside the sandbag wall of the fortress. The sowing area has been expanded to 3 kilometers, which can already connect many permanent garrison fortresses. It is no longer the same as in early February, just nine grasslands surrounding nine garrison fortresses.

Before Qu Mao left, Shi Buhui promised that Qu Mao would see the results of the expansion of the Gobi Ranch before he left. Qu Mao nodded to express his trust in Shi Buhui's promise.

Then, under the escort of 100 fourth-rank camel riders, Qu Mao rushed to the mining area.

However, the town Qu Mao arrived at the earliest was not Metal City, but Minmetals City. Among the three towns in the Shaliu Houguo mining area, Minmetals City is the closest to Yuexia City, and Iron Mine City is the closest to Shaliu City. The closest to Xirong City is Metal City.

Just after entering Minmetals City, a chubby aborigine stopped Qu Mao's camel. Seeing the chubby aborigine pulling the camel's rein with a smile on his face, Qu Mao was so astonished that he didn't speak immediately .

As a resident of Minmetals City, the fourth-rank camel rider who guarded Qu Mao did not prevent the fat aborigine from approaching Qu Mao. After all, the core heroes of the holy land of Emperor Yi's territory had always been very close to the aborigines.

The fat aborigine said humbly: "My lord, Caomin is Jin Sande, the mine owner representative of Minmetals City, and I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

The officer of the fourth-rank camel rider looked at Jin Sande, then at Qu Mao, not knowing how to deal with this matter.

Jin Sande obviously saw Qu Mao's confusion, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, Caomin is taking the liberty.

Caomin is a mine owner from Shacheng, Gillette province of the Tassel Empire. Tianxuan came to Shaliuhou Kingdom to contract a desert mine in November 14. Entrusted by his peers, I would like to invite you to have lunch with me, thank you for helping our mines opportunity provided by the Lord.

My lord, you can call Caomin Fatty Jin just like Caomin's colleagues. "

Only then did Qu Mao come to his senses, turned over and got off the camel, glanced at the sky, and before ten o'clock in the morning, he said to the officer of the fourth-rank camel rider: "Take the soldiers to find the garrison guards. Rest, maybe you have to go to other towns in the early morning."

The officer of the fourth-rank camel rider bowed to Qu Mao to salute, and then arranged for his soldiers to go.

But Qu Mao glanced at Jin Sande and said, "Fatty Jin, why did your colleague entrust you to invite me to lunch?
The continuation of Shaliuhou State's policy of contracting metal mines is something that needs to be decided by the Shaliuhou State's management team. "

Jin Sande smiled and said: "My lord, you worry too much.

Caomin is the representative appointed by the mine owners who invested in the Shaliu Houguo Metal Mine. It is purely to express your gratitude to your lord. If Lord Liu Qianhui comes to Minmetals City, Caomin will also invite her to dinner on behalf of the mine owners. "

Qu Mao patted Jin Sande on the shoulder and said, "Okay, although the temperature has not risen yet, let's find a place to eat and chat.

It just so happens that I also want to know about the current situation of metal mining. "

Jin Sande hurriedly took Qu Mao to a restaurant in Minmetals City, and settled for a private room on the third floor of the hotel. After ordering a sumptuous meal, Jin Sande said to Qu Mao: "My lord, Caomin is waiting for the mine owner to come. It has been several months since Shaliu Houguo invested. Now there are 7 mine owners in the two metal mines in Minmetals City. Cao Min is the representative of the mine owners who stayed in Minmetals City.

Now the two metal mines have been mined. Based on the current 4 hours of mining every day, it will take us at least three years to empty the two metal mines in the city. Counting the slag backfilling the mine, it may last for about four years. time.

Due to the strong tax policy, we only work 4 hours a day, and we can make money..."

While eating food slowly, Qu Mao listened to Jin Sande's babbling report on the mining situation of the metal mine, nodding his head from time to time to express his approval, but he didn't say anything.

In fact, Qu Mao knew in his heart: Jin Sande’s so-called invitation to dinner on behalf of the mine owner was simply to express his gratitude, but in essence he hoped that the Shaliuhou Kingdom would continue to extend the preferential policies, but this belonged to Liu Qianhui and her management team It is impossible for Qu Mao to promise anything to Jin Sande at will.

Although Qu Mao has clearly told Jin Sande that he will not change the contracting policy of the Shaliu Houguo metal mine, Jin Sande is obviously not affected by this, and has always maintained a humble attitude to report to Qu Mao on the mining of the metal mine and made Qu Mao laugh heartily from time to time.

A meal lasted from ten o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the afternoon. After eating, Qu Mao wiped his mouth, bid farewell to Jin Sande, and went to Minmetals City to rest.

The reason why Qu Mao came to the three towns in the mining area of ​​Shaliuhou State was to coordinate the relationship between mining and metal smelting, and even the subsequent new military production, but Qu Mao never considered policy adjustments at all.

Qu Mao felt that he had achieved his goal when he was able to inspect the specific situation in the mining area and adjust the supply focus of the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory to the Marquis of Shaliu accordingly.

After Jin Sande paid the bill at the restaurant, he insisted on personally sending Qu Mao to the Minmetals City Lord's Mansion. He didn't care that the high temperature of the desert along the way made Jin Sande sweat profusely.

Qu Mao was also a little moved, but even though Jin Sande reported the mining situation of the two metal mines in Minmetals City, Qu Mao believed that he had to ask the owner of Minmetals City for the real situation, after all, the owner of Minmetals City is Salix Officially appointed staff of the Hou.
