Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 191 I want your life!
Therefore, Zhu Tuo handed over coal mining to Li Su to sharpen himself.

Although Li Su is conscientious, he is as timid and timid as a mouse.

"Continue!" Zhu Tuo waved his hand.

Li Su sighed and had no choice but to put the shovel on his back.

"Li Su, how long have you been here? The common people are digging the soil with a shovel every day. When do you say that you are tired? As the general of Jindi, if you can't take the lead, how can you command so many soldiers? ?”

Li Su: "..."

He has been digging here for several days, but what about King Su?All day long, they are in the carriage, enjoying the singing and dancing of beauties, eating, drinking and having fun.

"My lord guesses that you must be very upset. I think that my lord enjoys it every day, so there is nothing to blame. However, I have made great contributions and led the army to repel the Mongolian army, so that the people of Jin will no longer It’s also an honor to be invaded and enjoy life.”

Li Su was speechless. This King Su was indeed very powerful.

"But I'm a little general after all.

"So what? In my eyes, there is no difference between you and a commoner." Zhu Tuo waved his hand and said proudly: "I am different from you. I have regarded commoners as my brothers since I was a child, and I have never harmed anyone. people.

Li Su was stunned.

"I was in Lingnan, and I never took a single hair from the common people. My benevolence spread all over Lingnan. At that time, even children sang to me, but this king has always kept a low profile and didn't let them do this."
Zhu Tuo kept talking about his achievements. Although Li Su was unwilling, he had to listen.

Lu Qing had long been accustomed to this. He turned around and looked into the distance, absent-mindedly.

While Zhu Tuo was talking enthusiastically, a dark-skinned farmer came forward and bowed his head. He didn't know Zhu Tuo, but when he saw the opponent's lineup, his heart was filled with oppression.

"Um, sir, can you move your car?"

"I see."

"what?"

"Your car has crushed the wheat in the field. Can you move the car? This wheat is the food of our family. Sir, please show your respect.
"What?" Zhu Tuo was startled and quickly looked over there, and sure enough he saw a white horse eating wheat in the field.

Zhu Tuo quickly helped the farmer up, with a look of regret on his face: "Hey, it's all my fault. I didn't manage it well and actually let my subordinate's car go to crush wheat."

Zhu Tuo said this, turned around, looked at Li Su, and shouted sternly: "Li Su, why don't you move your car away for me? What did I tell you before leaving? How long has it been?" , you forgot all about it?"

Li Su was speechless.

Prince Su, can you stop being so cowardly?
"Li Su..." Me? "

The farmer's eyes suddenly became round. Li Su had been the county magistrate of Jindi for several years, of course he knew.

But now, a handsome young man dares to call Li Su's name, and also calls himself "Your Majesty". One can imagine his origin.

Is it Su Wang Zhu Tuo?
His face was flushed with excitement, and he stuttered. He originally wanted to see the young master, but was reprimanded.

"My lord, please see King Su."

"Hehe, I didn't expect someone in this mountain to know me!"

Zhu Tuo said loudly: "I came here this time to keep a low profile.

Don't tell anyone who I am! "

The farmer said, "Put it down, Lord Su!"

"King Su?"

Perhaps it was the old farmer's loud voice that attracted nearby farmers. Many people turned their attention to him and bowed quickly when they saw Zhu Tuo wearing a brocade robe.

"Haha, okay, everyone, please take a seat." Zhu Tuo laughed and said, "Lu Qing, you see the aura on my body is very special. Even if you are wearing ordinary clothes, others will recognize you at a glance." Lu Qing Qing curled his lips, do you still call your clothes simple?
This outfit is worth someone else's salary for a year.

"Prince Su, I heard that you killed more than 50 Mongolian witches, right?"

"Needless to say, I killed more than 300 people by myself!" Zhu Tuo said proudly.

"King Su is so awesome!"

"King Su has lowered our taxes and divided our fields so that we can have food..." King Su, we have already saluted you. "

"Get up, get up!" Zhu Tuo quickly pulled them back and said shamelessly: "It's me who is carrying the heavy burden that allows you to live a peaceful life!"

"Thank you, King Su!"

"King Su, what do you want to dig?" Some brave farmers couldn't help but ask when they saw Zhu Tuo and others digging holes.

"Oh, I received news that our Jin State has coal, so I sent people to dig it. But this Jin State's national advisor is also a fool.

For several months, no trace of coal was found. "

Lu Xiaofeng said: "Coal?"

An old man with a wooden stick stood in the middle of the team and said with a smile: "King Su, when I was young, I once saw a few lumps of coal on a hillside in front of me, and I dug a few, not many. Not a lot."

"Really?" Zhu Tuo was delighted.

"That's natural. There are often scattered pieces of coal here, which are picked up by people in the village."

"So, how do you find the mine?"

The old man pondered for a moment, and then said: "When I was young, I heard that coal mine exploration cannot be found by just walking around. If you want to find it, there are several ways to observe the rocks. The color, the color of the soil, and the growth of the plants.”

Lu Xiaofeng said: "That's right!" Zhu Tuo nodded vigorously and shouted: "So that's it. I, Lieutenant of Jin Dynasty, you have been digging for the past few days, why didn't you come up with this good idea?"

Li Su couldn't help but look up at the sky and thought to himself: "King Su, are you going too far?"

You take your merit, I will take the responsibility
In that era, coal was not very useful. The main reason was that in the Ming Dynasty, coal could only play a role in heating, lighting, and cooking.

But Zhu Tuo knew very well the importance of coal. It can be said that coal was the foundation of the entire industrial revolution. Whether it was steam engines or steelmaking, it was inseparable.

In the future, if the Ming Dynasty develops, coal will be needed to produce steam engines, railways, and ships.

So Zhu Tuocai personally led the team and went down the mountain to mine coal.

Zhu Tuo waved his hands and said in a deep voice.

The farmers quickly knelt down and thanked him, and the old man replied tremblingly: "Prince Su, I just talk too much and don't do anything, so there is no need to reward me."

"That won't work! If this gets spread, you really think I can't reward you! 30 taels per person!" Zhu Tuo shouted.

Li Su frowned and warned: "Prince Su, our Jin country is originally poor. Recently, we have been fighting and distributing food. There is no extra food on our land. What we can save is use less."

"Yes, Lieutenant Li is interested."

Li Su laughed after being praised by Zhu Tuo, but his smile did not last long before Zhu Tuo spoke: "It is really inappropriate to use Jin's gold and silver. Why not just use Li Su's gold and silver?" Deducted from the Taiwei's salary."

"Isn't this appropriate?"

"Don't you mean to save money if you can? Lieutenant Li, how did you do it?
Now is the time to lose weight, and it's good for your health. "

Li Su was speechless for a while.
