Chapter nine hundred and ninety-fifth: The granary of Shouget City was destroyed
At eight o'clock in the morning on December 3, Xingyu 1176, Yan Tielong was in the coal storage warehouse in Xiaoyuyu Town. Yan Tielong looked at the large amount of washed coal in the warehouse, and at the same time listened to Ji Sliyi next to him about the recent situation of Princess Longlias.
.
Ever since Princess Longlias learned that coal washing methods could be used to remove toxic components from coal mines and sell the coal mines to the Kingdom of Des, she began to work hard to recruit 100,000 refugee laborers to start building the route from Xiaoyuyu Town to Conch Bosi City.
You must know that there are dangerous mountains and cliffs that hinder the journey from Xiaoyuyu Town to Conch Persi City. It is almost impossible to get from Xiaoyuyu Town to Conch Persi City by land. This is why the Feilong Kingdom used to be so obsessed with Conch Persi.
Reasons why the Principality is not interested.
In just a few days, 100,000 laborers encountered a lot of troubles, such as rocks that were too big and too hard to carry, attacks by wild animals, sudden natural disasters such as falling rocks, and other difficulties.
It may be due to the large number of people and strength, or it may be that the initial road section is easier to repair. Now 10% of the construction from Xiaoyuyu Town to Conch Bosi City has been completed.
Of course, the coal in the warehouse in front of Yan Tielong was transported by sea from Conch Persi City, so Princess Long Lias asked for a price of 5 copper coins per catty. After all, fishing boats were called.
Yan Tielong had no objection, so he bought all the coal in the entire warehouse, and then he began to use the space ring to load the coal. When the space in the space ring was almost full, he used the teleportation array to defend Gete City.
Yan Tielong found Skotian. After all, Skotian was now in charge of the entire blacksmith affairs in Shouget City.
Seeing Skotian, Yan Tielong asked him if the loess and labor he wanted were ready to be completed?
In response to Yan Tielong's request, Skotian took Yan Tielong directly to the warehouse filled with loess. At the same time, he couldn't help but ask the leader, what is the use of the loess?
Yan Tielong did not respond. He took out all the coal from the space ring and directly mixed the loess and coal to make briquettes himself; however, Yan Tielong let the labor brought by Skotian make the briquettes according to his instructions.
Although Skortian didn't know what the leader wanted to do, he still ordered the laborers to make briquettes according to the leader's method.
Noticing Scotian's very curious look, Yan Tielong took out the dry briquettes and iron stove from the space ring, and then lit a fire.
Seeing the group leader lighting the coal briquettes on fire, Skortian couldn't help but remind the group leader that coal is poisonous! After all, as a blacksmith, he was very fond of coal as a fuel.
After hearing Scotian's reminder, Yan Tielong said that he had removed harmful substances from the coal, and now as long as it is not used in a sealed space, nothing would happen.
In order to gain Scotiaan's trust, Yan Tielong also deliberately breathed heavily above the iron stove.
Seeing that the leader was really not poisoned and fell to the ground, Skortian believed it, which also made him very excited. After all, coal is much better than charcoal for making iron.
Skotian, who had been excited for a while, frowned. He told Yan Tielong that Shouget City had a population of hundreds of thousands, and that a little bit of coal was simply not enough now!
Yan Tielong reluctantly said that he had transported these coals from the Feilong Kingdom, and there would definitely be more in the future, but the quantity would definitely not be enough to satisfy a population of hundreds of thousands due to transportation problems after all.
After hearing Yan Tielong's story, Skortian couldn't help but ask if there was coal locally, could he help clean up the toxic substances in the coal?
Yan Tielong said of course, but it cannot be free. After all, 100,000 points cannot be wasted.
Scotian could not make the decision regarding the leader's request for money, so he approached the Minister of Finance, Ye Xingros.
After Ye Xingruosi listened to Scotian's talk about the coal situation brought by the regiment leader, his eyes lit up. He considered getting more benefits, so he directly asked about the price of the coal washing formula.
Yan Tielong gave Ye Xingruosi two plans. One was to directly pay him a sentimental price of one million gold coins, and the second was to give him half of the profit for every kilogram of coal sold.
After Ye Xingruosi listened to Yan Tielong's request, he directly bought out the coal washing plan with one million gold coins. At the same time, he also asked Yan Tielong not to sell the coal washing plan to anyone except Princess Long Lias and others.
Regarding Ye Xingruosi's request, Yan Tielong immediately knew that the other party wanted to monopolize the coal business, but Yan Tielong didn't care about the coal business, so he agreed, and the two parties began to sign a contract.
After Yan Tielong and Ye Xing Ruosi signed a coal washing confidentiality agreement, Leopas sent someone to find the Minister of Finance, Ye Xing Ruosi, and he saw that Yan Tielong was there, so he brought both of them to Prince Leopas.
Seeing that Yan Tielong was there, Prince Leopas asked about warm clothes and fuel.
Yan Tielong said that hundreds of thousands of multi-layered fine linen garments from the Zhandes Kingdom were already on the way, and that if there were no accidents on the way, they would be delivered in more than ten days.
Then Yan Tielong brought out the multi-layered linen clothing to Leopas; Leopas put on the multi-layered linen clothing and walked out of the palace. He immediately felt a little cold, so he told Yan Tielong that he was not warm enough.
After hearing what Leo Pine said, Yan Tielong said helplessly that if he wanted to buy leather clothing with better warmth, half a million gold coins would not be enough.
Yan Tielong then said that although multi-layered linen clothing is not warm enough, it is cheap and as long as two or three layers of multi-layered linen clothing are worn, it should be able to survive the whole winter.
Even an elderly knight on the side touched the multi-layered fine linen clothing. He said that for civilians, the multi-layered fine linen clothing was already considered top-grade clothing. He even wanted to buy a few pieces because the price was cheap after all.
Hearing the knights following his father admiring, Leopas knew that the captain had not deceived him, so he asked about the fuel issue. After all, the price of wood and charcoal was now so high that ordinary people could not bear it.
Yan Tielong didn't say much, he took out the iron stove just now.
Hearing that the coal was no longer poisonous, Leopas personally felt the heat above the iron furnace and also tested whether there was any problem with the coal.
After staying in the iron furnace for half an hour, Leopas didn't feel any physical problems, and he was very satisfied.
Noticing Leopine's satisfied expression, Ye Xingruos stepped forward and saluted, saying that he had signed a million gold coin confidentiality agreement with the group leader.
Prince Leopine was a little stunned when he heard that Ruos Yexing signed a million gold coin confidentiality agreement with the group leader, but he knew that Ruos Yexing would not engage in loss-making business, so he nodded to Ruos Yexing to express his understanding.
.
Seeing His Highness the Prince nodding, Ye Xingruosi thought that His Highness the Prince had something to do with him, so he saluted and asked His Highness the Prince what business he had with him.
After hearing Ye Xingruos' inquiry, Leopas remembered that he had something important, so he asked the old knight on the side to tell it.
Through the whisper introduction of Ye Xingruos next to him, Yan Tielong learned that the elderly knight who had just been following Prince Leo Pine was named Mai Dao Luo Shen. It is said that he is already seventy years old this year and has followed the king of the Kingdom of Three Holy Leos, but he is
He was too upright, and as a result, he was still a farmer before Prince Leopine found him, and now he is an earl.
The Knight Count of Madao Luo Shen told everyone that a fire suddenly broke out in the first granary of Shouget City last night. Although they tried hard to save it, the fire was too strong and more than nine layers of food were burned. The remaining food was soaked in water.
Eat it as soon as possible, after all, food soaked in water will spoil easily.
After hearing the story from Knight Count Luo Shen, the director of Mai, Yan Tielong immediately felt that something was wrong. After all, there must be a large number of guards at the No. 1 Granary. In addition, it has been snowing in Shouget City. Even if there is a small fire, he will be caught immediately.
People are extinguished.
Yan Tielong immediately judged that it was Leopas's subordinates who did it, and it was the high-ranking official guarding the granary. After all, only the high-ranking officials guarding the granary had the power to mobilize the soldiers. This was why the soldiers did not discover the source of the fire at the first time.
At the same time, Yan Tielong also judged that the granary must use oil. After all, even if the source of the fire was not discovered immediately, more than a thousand soldiers could still put out the flames. However, if there is oil in the warehouse, then it is logical that a fire cannot be extinguished.
Everyone is not a fool, and everyone knows that the fire in the No. 1 Granary must have been man-made.
In fact, Leopas is in the worst mood right now. The reason is that not only is there a problem in the first warehouse, but even the second and third granaries have been embezzled and emptied out. Of course, he has blocked the news, so no one knows about Shouget.
There has been a big food problem in the city.
Just as Leopas asked the officials he had summoned to investigate who set fire to the first warehouse, a royal guard hurried to Leopas' side and whispered something.
Leo Pine frowned, but he still announced the adjournment of the meeting, and then he asked Yan Tielong and Ye Xingruosi to have lunch together.
When Prince Leopas invited Yan Tielong, many officials present expressed envy. After all, they all thought that Yan Tielong was the royal businessman of His Highness Prince Leopas.
When the officials were almost gone, Yan Tielong took out a lot of seafood and asked the royal chef to cook it.
Prince Leopas expressed his gratitude to Yan Tielong for bringing out so much seafood. After all, Shouget City is an inland city, and seafood is very expensive, and there is even no market for it.
When the feast was served, Leopas asked all the servants and guards to go down. He wanted to have a good chat with Yan Tielong and Ye Xingruos.
After all the servants and guards left, Yan Tielong seemed to realize that Prince Leopas had something to say, so he set up a soundproof barrier in the room.
Knowing that the team leader had arranged a soundproof barrier, Leopais assured Yan Tielong and Ye Xingruosi that in fact, more than one warehouse had been burned down, and two warehouses had been embezzled and had become empty. What's more, all the grain had just been destroyed.
