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

Chapter 193 King Su’s purpose is very simple!
"That's natural. I teach well." Zhu Tuo added.

"King Su, you are known as a wise monarch. We all know that you have been running around and mining coal mines during this period, so we naturally have to help."

"Yes, Your Majesty, there is not much work in the fields now, why not let us help."

Zhu Tuo thought for a moment and then said: "Okay, but you have to be careful. If there is any danger, you can report it to Lieutenant Li and Lieutenant Li will solve it for you. Do you understand?"

People around him shook their heads.

They came here just to help.

However, Zhu Tuo did not let them treat him badly. All those who came to help not only provided food and shelter, but also provided compensation.

If people's houses were to be conquered, Zhu Tuo would also pay compensation first.

As word spread, more people flocked to Zhu Tuo. Within dozens of kilometers around, everyone was holding a shovel, saying that they were not asking for money, but just wanted to give Prince Su some face.

In their view, King Su of Jindi has already set up a "big young master".

"Prince Su has such a great reputation?"

Li Su couldn't figure it out, what's so good about this Su King Zhu Tuo?

Didn't they realize that Su Wang Zhu Tuo not only had a bad character, but also had a violent temper?

Before Li Su could recover, someone snatched the shovel from Li Su's hand and said, "Master, you are old and cannot keep up with your physical strength, so let us young men do it."

"Yes, okay." Li Su handed the things to Zhang Tie casually.

Li Su didn't care about his own manners and sat down casually. Seeing the sweaty and ragged civilians with smiles on their faces, Li Su was suddenly moved.

Normally, Jiang Chen looked down on those civilians and thought they were incompetent.

Li Su said calmly: "Actually, if you don't want to work, that's okay, King Su has no intention of letting you go."

"Haha, sir, we have nothing to do at home. King Su expelled the Mongolian demons for us and gave us fields and food. Also, I also heard that King Jin is planning to build a school here so that all students can Can go to school.

"King Su has been so kind to us, we are just here to help."

Li Su was stunned for a moment. He wanted to say that Yao Guangxiao was the mastermind behind the scenes. Yao Guangxiao had ulterior motives. This monk had an insidious mind and didn't know what he was planning.

He did not speak, but stopped. Seeing that the farmer was a little tired, he took the shovel from his hand and said to him: "I am in good health. This is not a difficult task. Take the shovel and I will dig coal." "

At night, Zhu Tuo saw Li Su with a gray face and a face covered with scorched earth, as if he had just returned from Africa.

Zhu Tuo was stunned for a while, then handed him the food and said, "Come on, let's eat."

"Thank you, King Su." Ye Futian bowed and saluted.

"Yes." Zhu Tuo lowered his head and thought for a while while eating, and said: "Our mining methods are really backward. How can we blow up these mines in the shortest time?"

"That's right!" Zhu Tuo suddenly clenched his fists and flashed his eyes, "Li Su, have you ever heard of black powder?"

Li Su was slightly taken aback, then nodded.

"So, what about black powder?"

"The black powder belongs to the royal court."

"How to get it?"

"Ask the court."

"Such a long time, such a waste of time." Zhu Tuo frowned, "That's all, I can also refine it myself. I need all the saltpeter, sulfur, and charcoal."

Li Su nodded and couldn't help but ask again: "Then how do you want to use it?"

"Used to blast away those rocks." "This..." Li Su sensed something was wrong with Zhu Tuo, and he quickly said: "Your Majesty, although these black explosives will self-destruct, these rocks are very hard and cannot be blown to pieces. of."

"If you don't give it a try, who can say for sure? I can tell you that if you adjust the amount of explosives just right, even a stone can blow it up. If it is used on the battlefield, a single A small bomb can blow the opponent into pieces."

"Really?" Li Su's heart trembled.

"Of course!" Zhu Tuo said solemnly: "And don't look at this charcoal. This charcoal is very useful. It can be used to make steel in the future. Because of the high temperature of coal, very hard metal can be forged and weapons can be made. Very sharp."

"King Su, do you have other plans?" Li Su asked thirsty.

After the war, Jin finally had an opportunity for development.

Before this, there were nearly 10,000+ refugees in Dajin. Some people could not return to their hometowns because of the war, and some people did not even have food.

Under Yao Guangxiao's careful management, government relief and food were provided, so that the people of Jin had enough food to return to their hometown and have their own land.

Even under the official's appeal and guidance, scholar-bureaucrats from various places began to open porridge shops, which helped many people every day. Everyone was in the same boat, and at least Jin people would not suffer from the cold on the road.

Under the influence of Yao Guangxiao, the mood of the people was relatively stable, and there was not much commotion.

Yao Guangxiao was responsible for the post-war pension and resettlement work.

The large amount of resources collected from Mongolia were used to develop the Jin region and to provide food for the people of the Jin region.

Yao Guangxiao was proficient in civil politics and was naturally very good at his work. Zhu Tuo naturally trusted him and left everything to him in one fell swoop.

Of course Zhu Tuo wasn't lazy.

On top of that, he had to deal with the affairs of the mine, which was too much.

"Let's go to Taiyuan now."

Zhu Tuo clapped his hands and wiped the coals in his hands clean. He looked at the lively scene in front of him and said with some yearning: "This is a very ancient mining method. I will let someone make an explosive. This kind of Explosives can mine coal in large quantities and can even make flintlock muskets, steam engines, railroads, and more.

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"

"Haha, this is the future of our Ming Dynasty. You are still young and don't understand!"

Lu Qing curled his lips.

Zhu Tuo put his arms around Lu Qing's shoulders, and said with a smile: "Tell me, my subordinate Yao Guangxiao, has the matter of Jindi been settled?"

Lu Qing looked at Zhu Tuo suspiciously, "Your Majesty, you don't want to go to Taiyuan on purpose. Are you not going to Taiyuan on purpose?"

"How could you frame me?"

Zhu Tuo's eyes widened, he pointed at Lu Qing and shouted: "How can I be afraid of danger? The most important thing for me is to mine coal."

And 14 years ago, I went to Lingnan, defeated the Mongolian witch, and established a scientific sect, which made Lu Qing frown.

Zhu Tuo has decided to leave, so Li Su will be in charge of opening the mine.

In the hall, while admiring the beauty dancing on the dance floor, Zhu Tuo tasted a grape sent by the beauty, and casually said to Li Su: "What we want to do is to mine coal. Also, let everyone We all know that this is a positive attitude and an effort, you know?"

Li Su's face remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly.

If it was normal, when he saw Zhu Tuo hugging a beautiful woman and saying something about justice and saving the world, he would definitely sneer.

But now, he understands.

King Su was good to the people.

As for the civilians, they would give them food and clothing, and even talk and laugh with them, regardless of how dirty they were, and ask about their family status.
