Jin Feng was not good at observing words and expressions and did not notice Lao Tian's little thoughts, but the Ninth Princess saw it and said: "Lao Tian, if your husband is not at home in the future, you can come to me and I will solve it for you!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
Lao Tian was very happy when he heard this.
It is true that Jin Feng is often away from home, but the Ninth Princess is the emperor and spends most of her time in the village.
No matter how bad Jin Feng was at scheming, he understood the implication of the Ninth Princess's words at this time, and kicked Lao Tian angrily: "You old boy, when did you learn to beat around the bush when you talk?"
The country people are all tough and don't have that much thought. Lao Tian didn't get angry when he was kicked, he just giggled.
This incident also made Jin Feng realize the importance of communication. He turned to look at the Ninth Princess and said: "You have to deal with a lot of government affairs every day and you are too busy. Go back and tell the three village chiefs. If you have anything to do in the village in the future, you will not be able to find anything."
Let's go find Xiaorou, and don't distract yourself from things in the village." www.81zw.????m
If other people heard Jin Feng say this, they might think that Jin Feng was warning the Ninth Princess to stay out of the village's affairs.
But the Ninth Princess knew Jin Feng too well and knew that Jin Feng was just worried that she was too tired and had no other intention.
So Ninth Princess smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll find the three village chiefs when I get back!"
"Lao Tian, it's still windy at the printing and paper mills. You can hurry up and make the glass as soon as possible."
After returning from Qin, he ran to the printing factory and paper factory without even returning home, and then to the glass workshop. Jin Feng also felt a little tired.
Anyway, there was no big problem in the glass workshop. Jin Feng explained and led people out of the glass workshop.
When I walked to the door, I was still thinking about sending someone to take a trip to the southern coast.
Glass is widely used in industry, and the best way to make flat glass that Jin Feng knows is float technology.
The most important step in float technology is to build a large pool, and then lay the heated, still soft glass on top of the molten tin liquid, so that the glass floats on top of the tin liquid.
This allows the glass to flatten itself without ripples.
But to build a tin bath, a huge amount of tin is needed.
Domestic tin mines are mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong in the south, and in the grassland areas in the north.
The Eastern Barbarians who occupy the northern grasslands have not been defeated yet, and they still attack Yuguan City from time to time.
The Eastern Barbarians are mainly nomadic and are very mobile. Apart from the royal city, there are almost no other cities in the territory. The people drive their cattle and sheep and move along with the water and grass.
After experiencing the first hot air balloon bombing, the Dongman King City was evacuated directly.
The grasslands are almost endless. It is too difficult to find people on the grasslands. Zhang Liang does not have enough manpower and dare not leave Yuguan City too far. There is nothing he can do about it.
In this case, if you want to mine tin ore from the grassland, the Eastern Barbarians will definitely attack and destroy it. It will be too difficult!
It didn’t work in the Eastern Barbarian grasslands, nor did it work in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi in the previous life.
Because that area now belongs to a country called Dazhao.
Although this country has always been very friendly to Dakang, if you want to mine in his country, Dazhao will definitely not agree, and the relationship between the two parties will even break down.
Although Jin Feng is not afraid and has already included Dazhao in the territory of Dakang in his heart, he already has enough enemies. Before dealing with these enemies, he is unwilling to cause more trouble.
After much calculation, the most suitable place is Guangdong.
Guangdong, which was prosperous and developed in the previous life, was still a barren land at this time. Jin Feng could just use this opportunity to pacify the southern coast and prepare for the next step of regaining Dazhao.
Moreover, Guangdong is close to the sea. After the tin ore is mined, it is easier to use steamships to send the ore or finished tin back to Sichuan than other places.
However, these things could not be accomplished overnight, so Jin Feng decided to go back to Zhang Liang to discuss it.
I was thinking about Zhang Liang, but as soon as I came out of the glass workshop, I saw Zhang Liang standing at the door with the big monkey Shi Lingyun and others.
"I have met you sir! Meet your Majesty!"
A group of people, led by Zhang Liang, knelt down on one knee towards Jin Feng and Ninth Princess and performed a military salute.
"Pingshen!" Ninth Princess raised her hand slightly.
Jin Feng ran over and patted Zhang Liang hard on the shoulder: "Brother Liang, thank you for your hard work!"
It's cold in the north. Not to mention Shi Lingyun, even Zhang Liang Dazhuang and others whose skins were originally rough and dark have become darker and rougher than before.
Those who didn't know better thought they were a group of old farmers in their forties or fifties.
"It's not hard work!" Zhang Liang shook his head: "Protecting our family and our country is our duty as men. I am honored to be able to recover Yuguan City and defend Yuguan City under your leadership!"
"Brother Liang has also learned how to flatter people? It seems that Brother Liang has learned a lot in the north!" Jin Feng said with a smile: "You conquered Yuguan City and you defended it, so why did you become my leader?
"
"Sir, I'm not flattering you. Without the various weapons you provided, how could we possibly recapture Yuguan City with just a few thousand of us?"
Zhang Liang waved his hand and said: "Without sir, we might have been wiped out in the first ambush!"
"Speaking of the first ambush, what happened to the Eastern Barbarians who fled to Hebei?" Jin Feng asked.
When Zhang Liang arrived at Yuguan City, the Eastern Barbarians sent out tens of thousands of cavalry, preparing to surround and kill the Northern Expeditionary Army outside Yuguan City.
Unfortunately, things went against their wishes. Instead of encircling and killing Zhang Liang's Northern Expeditionary Army, the Eastern Barbarians were beaten to pieces by the Northern Expeditionary Army and suffered heavy casualties.
At that time, after tens of thousands of Eastern Barbarian cavalry were defeated, they did not return to the Eastern Barbarians from Yuguan City, but stayed in the south of Yuguan City.
The Eastern Barbarian Chanyu's plan at that time was to wait until Zhang Liang attacked Yuguan City, and these remnant Eastern Barbarian troops would come out from behind and attack from both front and rear.
Unfortunately, their plan failed again.
Generally, city offensive and defensive battles are protracted, and it is normal to fight for several months.
However, Zhang Liang's attack on Yuguan City was so fast that Yuguan City was broken before the remnants of the Eastern Barbarians had time to run back from the south...
As a result, the situation of these remnants of the Eastern Barbarians was embarrassing.
The way back was blocked by Yuguan City, so they could only wander around in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun.
All the people in the sixteen states of Yanyun were almost wiped out by the Eastern Barbarians. They could only make a living by hunting, and their lives were extremely difficult.
Later, when Jin Feng was attacked at sea, this group of people finally recovered and dispersed into several groups. Some went west to plunder the King of Jin's territory, while others simply went south to cross the Yellow River and plunder the people of the Central Plains along the coast.
Now Jin Feng is back, but he hasn't had time to regain the Central Plains, and Jin Feng doesn't know the specific movements of these remnants of the Eastern Barbarians.
"Sir, these remnants of the army have gone to join the King of Jin."
