Iron is a difficult thing for people in Dongzhou, but it is very simple for Lu Yaoyao.

Her plan is very simple, she provides a brand-new iron-making method, and Emperor Hongwen is responsible for the manpower and materials, as well as the cost of the initial construction.

After she finished speaking, Emperor Hongwen looked at her strangely.

"Since you said it was a business, but I heard you just now that all the iron is handed over to the imperial court. Are you planning to ask the imperial court to pay for it?"

"No, no, no, I don't want money, but I just want to ask His Majesty for some iron."

"I want iron?"

Emperor Hongwen frowned slightly, but he didn't think too much about the mess, but he didn't understand what she wanted to do.

In fact, if the annual output can be doubled as Lu Yaoyao said, why not give her some?

"What do you want iron for?"

"Build a house."

"The courtier is planning to build a new-style yard, which requires iron."

"And you should know that the courtiers outside the city are also building mansions, and there will be some places that need iron in various places."

"Of course there won't be too many."

Emperor Hongwen naturally knew about Chengyuan Villa.

I am also very curious as to what kind of place this Lu Yaoyao wants to get out of.

"How much does that take?"

"I don't know about this courtier's daughter, but it happened one after another. I think it should be around [-] catties."

"One hundred thousand catties?"

Emperor Hongwen was shocked again.

"Of course it's not a one-time thing. The construction of my daughter's villa doesn't happen overnight. As long as your majesty is willing to cooperate, and wait for the effect to come out, then you can give my daughter iron."

According to her plan, the construction of the villa will take at least four or five years.

This is still a situation with a large number of people. Now there are four to five thousand people in her villa, and she plans to continue to recruit some temporary workers.

After thinking about it, Emperor Hongwen agreed.

"Okay, if you can really double the production as you said, let alone one hundred thousand catties, I will give you two hundred thousand catties."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, we will make a deal."

"Later, the courtiers will prepare a plan and send it over. Your Majesty will take a good look at it then."

Emperor Hongwen nodded with a smile, and then asked seemingly unintentionally; "Since you have already thought about it, why didn't you write a plan before coming here today?"

"This is what I thought of on the spur of the moment. Today, when I return to the capital, I actually want to meet King Jin and talk business with him."

"Oh? Can you tell me what kind of business it is?"

"Of course, it would be best if His Majesty could be together."

Then she told about the Blackstone Mine.

As soon as he heard that it was a black stone mine, Emperor Hongwen's interest immediately decreased a lot.

Noticing his change, Lu Yaoyao smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Majesty, don't underestimate this black stone mine, it's a treasure."

"Let's talk about our future iron smelting, we need to use a lot of this stuff."

"And this thing can completely replace charcoal. People all over the world have the most difficult time in winter. If this thing can be developed, people all over the world will have no problem heating in winter."

Hearing her words, Emperor Hongwen was still very satisfied.

It's not in vain that he treats Wanfu so favorably, he cares about the common people in everything.

"I am very pleased that Wanfu has this heart, but this black stone is poisonous."

"Of course this courtier knows, but what if the courtier can get rid of the poison on the black stone?"

"Oh? You really have a way?"

Now Emperor Hongwen, who was still somewhat lacking in interest just now, immediately regained his spirits.

Heishi is a good thing, of course he knows it, but it's a pity that although the thing is good, it is poisonous.

"Yes, my courtiers dare not lie to the emperor."

"Otherwise, the courtiers wouldn't pay a sudden visit to King Jin. Near our capital, he owns two black stone mines."

"So that's it, okay, you can talk to King Jin, and get some black stones that have detoxified you some other day and let me quietly."

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao smiled and nodded, got up and said, "Your Majesty won't go with you?"

"What am I going to do?"

"If this black stone is developed, there will be a large demand for ironmaking in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Hongwen pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "In that case, I will go with you."

As he said that, he got up to change his clothes. In fact, he needed a lot of black stones. As the emperor, he didn't need to talk about it himself.

It is true that there is only the king of Jin in the capital and the black stone mines, but in such a large Dongzhou, Emperor Hongwen owns a lot of black stone mines, and he still has troops in his hands, so it is not difficult to transport them from other places.

But why would he agree to go there together?
It was nothing more than seeing an opportunity.

As I said before, he now needs someone he can trust and use.

The aristocratic family must be cleaned up, and at the same time, the Duke of Zhen must also be weakened accordingly. All of these require manpower.

King Jin is undoubtedly a good candidate. He has status, and the forces behind him are pitifully small. Even if he is given some, he can't do anything in a short time.

But for King Jin, he has always been a little relieved.

This time, it may be an opportunity, even if it is just a small cooperation, maybe trust can be built from it.

Emperor Hongwen, who quickly changed into regular clothes, left the palace with Wang De and Lu Yaoyao.

The carriage soon arrived at Prince Jin's mansion.

Yan San had arranged people to wait here early on, and as soon as the carriage appeared, the people he arranged immediately reported back.

Soon King Jin brought Yan San to the gate of the mansion.

"Lord Wanfu County, long time no see, why are you free to come to my palace today?"

Seeing Lu Yaoyao who just got off the carriage, King Jin asked with a smile.

However, the moment his voice fell, the curtain of the carriage was lifted again.

Immediately afterwards, a person who shocked him got out.

"Your Majesty?"

King Jin, who came back to his senses, quickly restrained his smile and stepped forward to salute.

I couldn't help but think, what's going on with the Lord Wanfu?Didn't you come by yourself?Why did you bring His Majesty here?
"You don't need to be too polite, brother, you won't blame me if I rashly came to your house with Wanfu today?"

"I dare not, it is my honor to be able to come, Your Majesty."

King Jin was very careful at this time.

"His Royal Highness, we are here to discuss business with you, and His Majesty also has a share."

Lu Yaoyao knew of some things that King Jin was doing behind his back. His Majesty's sudden visit at this moment would definitely have a great impact on him.

She didn't want to harm King Jin, so she explained her intentions directly, so that he wouldn't think about it.

"Talking about business?"

King Jin was taken aback, and his random thoughts just now were cut off by these words.

"Your Majesty also has one?"

"Yes."

King Jin was taken aback for a second, but quickly realized that he greeted the two of them to enter the mansion.

At the same time, he felt a lot more relaxed. Although he didn't know what business Lu Yaoyao was talking about, he still trusted Lu Yaoyao, and he believed that the other party would not harm him.

When they arrived at the main hall of the palace, Lu Yaoyao straightforwardly explained the purpose of coming this time, and also explained the matter of iron making.
