There are a large number of open-pit coal mines in Qiongzhou. Zhu Bai is rich!
following day
On Qiongzhou Island.
King Qiong Zhu Bai brought Yao Guangxiao, Yuan Chongli, Zhang Fu and the others to the peak of Qiongzhou Island.
The group of people climbed to the top of the mountain. Only then did they have the mood to look at the small mountains.
Jingzhou Prefecture Magistrate Yuan Chongli stood beside Zhu Bai and looked down at Jingzhou Island in disbelief. He muttered to himself,""Several hundred years! It's been hundreds of years!"
"Since the Tang Dynasty, Qiongzhou has been occupied by foreign cannibals.”
"These people are fighting with the local people for fresh water and food, or are they attacking the local people?”
"A problem that no one has been able to solve for hundreds of years has actually been successfully solved by your highness in a day!”
"This subordinate is extremely impressed!"
Yuan Chongli flattered, not forgetting to salute Zhu Bai.
Facing the flattery of Qiongzhou Prefecture's Magistrate Yuan Chongli, Zhu Bai did not mind.
She kept her back facing Yuan Chongli.
After looking into the distance, Zhu Bai retracted his gaze and looked at his feet.
It didn't matter if he didn't look, but when he did, he was shocked!
Looking at the slightly blackened rock under his feet, Zhu Bai's expression began to grow excited.
"Bring me a knife!"
Zhu Bai immediately crouched down, his right hand groping for the stone under his feet, his left hand raising as he instructed the others.
When Commander Zhang Fu heard this, he quickly drew out the dagger hanging on his waist, held it with both hands, and handed it to Zhu Bai." Your Highness!”
Zhu Bai did not look at Zhang Fu. His gaze was fixed on the "black stone" under his feet. He took the dagger and stabbed it into the ground.
Then, he picked up some soil and sniffed it in front of his nose. The expression on his face became more and more excited.
"Zhang Fu!"
"I'm here!"
"Bring some people to take a look immediately. How many more of this land are there?”
"I accept your orders!"
As he spoke, Commander Zhang Fu immediately left with the dozen or so soldiers following him.
Yao Guangxiao, who was standing beside Zhu Bai, was also carefully squatting beside King Qiong and asked in a low voice,""Did Your Highness discover something?"
Zhu Bai grabbed some dust from the ground and brought it to Yao Guangxiao's nose.
Yao Guangxiao sniffed carefully, and then his expression suddenly became overjoyed. He said in disbelief,"Is…is it iron?"
"Yes!"
A smile finally appeared on Zhu Bai's face. He threw away the dirt on his hands and then patted his hands as he stood up, continuing,"But it's not iron, but iron ore!”
"Why is the iron ore on the ground?"
Yuan Chongli, the prefect of Qiongzhou, was very puzzled and asked curiously,""Aren't iron and coal mines buried underground?”
" I've been in Qiongzhou for years, but I've never heard of any mines in Qiongzhou…"
Zhu Bai had already stood up, looking at the two people in front of him and said with a smile: "Looks like Qiongzhou is really my blessed land!”
"These are all iron ores, and they are all high-quality open-air iron ores!”
When Yuan Chongli and Yao Guangxiao heard this, they were at a loss for a moment, but they still cupped their fists and congratulated,"Congratulations, Your Highness!"
Zhu Bai clapped his hands and looked into the distance, muttering,"Now, it depends on the reserves of these iron ores. With these open-air iron ores, the development of Qiongzhou Province will take a big step forward!”
At this moment, Commander Zhang Fu hurriedly rushed over. With a crash, he knelt down on one knee in front of Zhu Bai and spoke.
"Your Highness, this mountain is basically filled with these black stones!”
Hearing Zhang Fu's words, the corners of Zhu Bai's mouth already involuntarily curled up.
Yuan Chongli and Yao Guangxiao, who were standing on both sides, could not help but sigh. This was simply the heavens helping King Qiong!
The few of them wandered around the open-air iron mine in Qiongzhou until the sun was high up in the sky before they prepared to return to the camp.
along the way
Advisor Yao Guangxiao, who was beside Zhu Bai, whispered,""Your Highness, we have to hide this matter of the iron mine. The salt and iron official camp is such a large mine. If the Imperial Court finds out, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep it.”
"Hmm?"
Zhu Bai didn't turn his head, he only glanced at Yao Guangxiao from the side.
Advisor Yao Guangxiao lowered his voice and continued,"" With such a big iron mine, we can make a lot of armaments…"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Bai turned his head around and stared at the somewhat surprised Yao Guangxiao," You're teaching this king how to do things?”
Hearing this, Yao Guangxiao was shocked. He took a step back and bowed his head,"This subordinate does not dare!"
Zhu Bai, King Qiong, stopped in his tracks and raised his hand, patting Yao Guangxiao's shoulder heavily twice.
Then, she leaned forward and whispered into his ear,"This king said that in the future, when it is time to use you, I will naturally use you.”
"But if you keep being so impatient, do you believe that this king will throw you into the sea to feed the fish?”
After hearing Zhu Bai's words, Yao Guangxiao's body trembled and he broke out in cold sweat.
Then, he knelt down and said,"This subordinate knows his sins!"
King Qiong Zhu Bai no longer paid attention to him. He led everyone and headed straight towards King Qiong's estate.
The group of people walked down the mountain unhurriedly, but from afar, they could see that there was a huge crowd outside the main gate of the Imperial Residence.
Looking from afar, there were 30,000 to 40,000 people!
Moreover, the crowd continued to surge, and it seemed that the crowd was excited.
King Qiong Zhu Bai frowned as he looked over. Commander Zhang Fu naturally also saw the scene before him. He stepped forward and cupped his hands,"Wangye, could it be that some unruly people are here to cause trouble?”
"Do you want me to bring my brothers to expel those people first before you come down the mountain?”
Zhang Fu said from the side, but Zhu Bai did not speak, nor did he express his opinion.
The Qiongzhou Prefecture Magistrate Yuan Chongli, who was standing beside him, was also stunned." These people don't look like the workers who built the Prince's mansion, but why are they here to cause trouble?”
"Wangye, why don't you listen to General Zhang Fu and let them go down first?”
Yuan Chongli looked at Zhu Bai respectfully," But logically speaking, the people of Qiongzhou are simple and honest. These few years have been so hard, but there have never been any cases of people causing trouble…"
"Now that His Highness has come to Qiongzhou, everyone's life has become better, but they've started to gather and cause trouble?”
At this moment, Yao Guangxiao, who was standing beside Zhu Bai and had not spoken up after being reprimanded, spoke up," Your Highness, from this Penniless Monk's point of view, these people don't seem to be plotting a rebellion. Why don't we let General Zhang Fu go and investigate first?”
Everyone was waiting for Zhu Bai's reply.
After a long silence, Zhu Bai slowly opened his mouth and said,"Down the mountain!"
"Your Highness, you can't. There are many people. If something really happens, we…"
When Commander Zhang Fu heard that Zhu Bai wanted to go down the mountain directly, he hurriedly went forward to dissuade him." Let me go down the mountain to investigate the situation first!”
Zhu Bai paid no attention to him, directly heading down the mountain.
"This Prince didn't do anything wrong. Why would I need to sneak back to my own Imperial Residence?"”
Everyone did not dare to speak again, and could only follow closely behind Zhu Bai, walking down the mountain.
