Peerless little Shennong

Chapter 1239 The First Fire Ended Perfectly
Lu Xiaobei didn't punish Tian Shijun heavily before, but now it finally came in handy, it seems very reasonable to have to forgive others.

"Tian Shijun, I didn't expect us to meet so soon!" Lu Xiaobei said with a smile.

"What the lord said is that the subordinates have already prepared a banquet in the mansion and invited the lord to move to eat." Tian Shijun said respectfully.

"It's easy to say, let's go to your place to eat something to reward these soldiers." Lu Xiaobei was not polite to Tian Shijun.

The battle of five hundred soldiers really frightened Tian Shijun, he thought that Prince Lu was coming to trouble him to settle the score!

A group of people were settled in Tian Mansion by Lu Xiaobei.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon after eating, Lu Xiaobei called Tian Shijun to the temporarily vacated room.

"Old Tian, ​​come and sit!" Lu Xiaobei greeted Tian Shijun.

"Subordinates dare not sit down." How could Tian Shijun dare to sit on an equal footing with the prince.

If he sat down, the prince would pull him out and chop him up as soon as he got angry.

"You bastard, if you are told to sit or not, then you should stand!" Lu Xiaobei could understand Tian Shijun's worry.

The vanguard officer did not specify the purpose of the trip when he delivered the message, Tian Shijun would definitely think that Lu Xiaobei came here for another purpose.

In order to relieve Tian Shijun of his worries, Lu Xiaobei told him the purpose of the trip.

When Tian Shijun heard this, he was immediately stunned.

"My lord, what I don't understand is that there is no well and mine salt in Qishan County. Where did you hear the news?"

"This matter is up to the king to make his own decision. Your Qishan County is rich in mineral resources. There are not only well mine salt but also coal mine resources. It would be a waste not to develop them." Lu Xiaobei said with a smile.

"Is there really?" Tian Shijun still didn't quite believe it.

"You'll know when I dig it out!" Lu Xiaobei asked Zhao Yilong to present the map.

After the map was brought up, Lu Xiaobei began to arrange for mining in the mountains.

"Tian Shijun, find a few locals as guides, there may be errors in the map." Lu Xiaobei ordered.

"My subordinate understands."

Lu Xiaobei let the soldiers lead the way first, he didn't need to go out in person.

After the team was arranged, they immediately set off to the north of Qishan County to search for minerals.

Lu Xiaobei had a detailed chat with Tian Shijun at Tian's house about developing mineral resources.

To Tian Shijun's surprise, he had never heard of Lord Lu's development strategy, but after Lu Xiaobei's detailed explanation, Tian Shijun had to admit that Lord Lu was very knowledgeable.

Tian Shijun originally thought that Prince Lu was so young, and he was just passionate about helping the dynasty find mineral resources. He never thought that he would do so much research work.

Tian Shijun chatted with the prince with great admiration.

The first news came from the front was looking for coal resources.

Lu Xiaobei divided the team into three groups, one team was responsible for searching for well mine salt, the other team was responsible for searching for coal mine resources, and the other team was responsible for escort missions.

After all, there are many beasts in the mountains and forests, so be careful.

The first news that came back was very exciting. A mine had been dug out by a team of soldiers.

Lu Xiaobei behaved very calmly, and did not go to check it himself.

Two hours later, another news came from the front. This time they dug 300 meters according to the location marked by Lord Lu and found a large number of yellow lumpy objects.

Lu Xiaobei was overjoyed, this yellow lump was most likely the well mine salt.

This time, he took Tian Shijun to the excavation site.

There were many torches shining in the forest in the north, and Lu Xiaobei rode a fast horse to the place.

Someone hastily brought up the dug things.

Lu Xiaobei asked the soldiers to bring a small hammer and shovel, and he began to clean up the lump.

As the loess was removed, a silver-white crystal-like object appeared in front of everyone.

Scraped off a small piece with a knife, Lu Xiaobei put it in his mouth to taste, then laughed loudly and said: "I found it right, this is it!"

"It's really salt?" Zhao Yilong and Tian Shijun looked at each other and asked in disbelief.

"Come and taste it!" Lu Xiaobei handed the remaining small pieces to the two of them respectively.

After tasting it, Zhao Yilong was immediately dumbfounded.

"It's really salty! There is really salt on land." Now Zhao Yilong was completely convinced.

Tian Shijun wished he could pop his eyes out.

There are actually hidden salt industry resources in Qishan county, and he doesn't know how to dig them himself, so he had to lead a team to dig them.

Thinking of this, Tian Shijun immediately knelt down.

"My lord, please punish my subordinates. I don't know that Qishan County has salt industry resources that can be developed. Damn it!" Tian Shijun knelt down and blamed himself.

"Get up! It's not your fault, you just think that only the sea has salt. But the salt we dug up can't be eaten directly." Lu Xiaobei said lightly.

"What else do we need to do? Isn't it salty?" Zhao Yilong asked inexplicably.

"This mineral salt also needs to remove impurities, and then add something before it can be eaten."

"What?" Zhao Yilong asked curiously.

"Iodine, a chemical element, you don't understand even if I tell you, just do as I say." Lu Xiaobei waved his hand to let everyone continue digging. Once these wells and mines are developed, they will be connected. ten yuan.

Afterwards, Lu Xiaobei called Tian Shijun to the carriage and arranged for the construction of the factory.

This place must be circled and heavily guarded.

Tian Shijun didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately sent people back to send more people.

The matter of building the factory was settled in this way.

Lu Xiaobei could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

That night, Lu Xiaobei was not in a hurry to return to the imperial capital. Instead, he asked someone to pack some mineral salt and send it to the prince's mansion for Zhang Xueliang to have a look at. By the way, he sent a message to Zhang Xueliang, asking him to kill Duan Tiansheng.

It's useless to keep this guy, not only defying the royal order, but even occupying the salt industry resources to threaten Lu Xiaobei, if this kind of person is not killed and kept, it will be a disaster.

Lu Xiaobei will stay in Qishan County for a few days to supervise the opening of mines and construction of factories.

When the mineral salt was delivered to the prince's mansion, Zhang Xueliang was shocked on the spot.

It never occurred to him that salt could be dug from land, it was simply incredible.

With the facts before his eyes, Zhang Xueliang had to admit that Lu Xiaobei was simply the deputy general of Zhenwu Continent, a deputy general that hadn't appeared in hundreds of years.

That night, Zhang Xueliang showed the mineral salt to Duan Tiansheng, who immediately became paralyzed.

Impossible, impossible, kept saying in his mouth, until the moment he was beheaded, he didn't understand how the mineral salt was dug out.

The Duan family collapsed, the salt industry resources were confiscated by the dynasty, and the news of the price increase came to an abrupt end. Only when the dynasty sent people to the Duan family to seize it did they realize that Duan Tiansheng was abominable.

This guy has hoarded more than 3 catties of salt in the house, and the bank notes found at home are more than 300 million, not to mention the gold he hid in the organ under the bed.

The Duan family is really rich!

Lu Xiaobei's first fire ended perfectly.

The official salt is under the control of the royal family. The so-called seaside fishing village did not abandon it directly, but sent people to communicate.

Lu Xiaobei was not afraid that the fishing village would not export sea salt. When the mineral salt stabilized, the price of sea salt would naturally drop. At that time, they would automatically come to the door and ask the government to take back the sea salt.

When the people of Qidu thanked Lord Lu, Lu Xiaobei's second fire ignited again.

The implementation of the household registration system, the establishment of the police station, and the laying of electricity were carried out at the same time.

The entire Tianqi City felt an unprecedented change, like a spring breeze blowing, and news of Lu Xiaobei, a good prince, was everywhere.

However, the idiom that a big tree attracts the wind is equally applicable everywhere.

With the reputation of Prince Lu spreading, several first-class sects with ulterior motives couldn't sit still.
