Chapter 67: Intelligence
Murong Sheng no longer worried about Liuli's identity, nor did he avoid Liuli, and talked about important matters with Xi Luo.
"There is a metal mining area in the western part of Yuncheng that produces a lot of metal objects. Yuncheng is so prosperous that it is related to the metal mining there." Murong Sheng talked about the foundation of Yuncheng, which is well known.
Yuncheng is backed by the mountainous areas, with endless peaks, and people mined ore at the foot of the mountain. However, that mining area is not very large and is not a rare metal, otherwise the imperial court would have to use it to customize weapons. Most of the minerals here are used to cast living tools and other items, traded in Yuncheng or around towns to increase capital flow and make Yuncheng prosperous.
"Our southern water town is humid, and copper and iron items are prone to yellowing and rust, but other materials are not so strong. When we came here at this martial arts conference, we also came to this famous place for metal products to see if we could find some cheap and durable steel that is not easily eroded by moisture."
"After coming here, I asked the business owner everywhere and learned that there was a factory area in the west of Yuncheng that specialized in producing these utensils, so I went to check it out. Asked several times as required, I learned that after crossing two mountains, there was a factory area where many residual steel was often produced, which were leftovers of the production utensils. When making items, most people would not buy them here. They would use commonly used materials, so they threw them aside and planned to deal with them in the future. However, these residual steels were just a little trivial and were not defective. If you just make some daily necessities, they would be just right to use."
Xi Luo nodded, he knew that the next point was the key.
"I sent someone to contact the people in that factory and checked the broken steel. There was no problem now. Moreover, the manager paid a low price and seemed to want to deal with it quickly. So I bought a lot of them and planned to bring back part of Jiangnan this time. However, a master of metal identification with his fellow travelers found that these broken steels were not ordinary defective products, but residues of fine steel products."
When Xi Luo heard this, he knew that he had fought everywhere all year round, so of course he knew that steel was an important item for forging weapons. However, Yuncheng produced steel items, but the imperial court had no movement at all, and there must be hidden information.
Liuli also seemed to understand the purpose of Xi Luo's arrival this time. Someone in Yuncheng might have made weapons privately, so this is not a trivial matter. To put it too big, this is an intention to rebel.
"Is it someone sent by Lord Yun City?" Xi Luo asked. He used the mining area to carry out the action, and the people behind him were certain to be in the position of the court.
Murong Sheng shook his head: "I don't know, but Yunshan, the Lord of Yuncheng, is a distant relative of my subordinates. Although he doesn't contact me often, I heard that he is open and honest. This time he came to Yuncheng to find metal materials, he was invited by him, so he should not be the magistrate. But people should not behave like this."
"I'm here to tell you these things, I'm not easy to interfere, but this reminds me that I can cooperate with the weapons factory." Murong Sheng said and then continued.
"I didn't expect you." Xi Luo also knew that Murong Sheng only wanted to do business and was not interested in other things. This time he happened to be here, otherwise he would not care about this matter and continue trading. Xi Luo rolled his eyes: "Aren't you a citizen of Tianjian!"
Murong Sheng stood up: "In the next businessman, I just want to make money with peace of mind and dare not want to participate in national affairs." Then he sorted out some clothes and said: "Since the news has been brought, I will not disturb you two of you to reminisce about the past. There are still transactions to deal with, so I will say goodbye first."
Xi Luo waved his hand: "Go quickly."
