Opening up borders is something that every warrior in the world is most concerned about and curious about, and Chai Shao is certainly no exception!
Chai Shao was in a state of excitement at the moment, and...in an instant, Chai Shao also understood what he was going to do after he was discharged and returned to the field.
Isn't this... so obvious?
Since this maritime trader is so special and has the hidden mission of opening up borders for the country, and also needs to have strong military ethics, then...
After I leave the Forbidden Army in the future, I don't know what to do - just go up and be done!
However, while Chai Shao was getting excited, Li Sheng beside him frowned and shook his head, and suddenly sighed slightly.
This sigh was very subtle, obviously... it was the kind of sigh that one still feels that something cannot be solved after careful consideration.
This is different from ordinary sighing.
Ordinary laments may mean that something is difficult to do or that it can't be done and that you can't do it. But this kind of thoughtful sigh is different, because it is when a person really and truly wants to solve something.
, but after thinking about it repeatedly, I found that... this matter cannot be solved even in theory, so I sighed.
Such sighs don't often happen to people like Li Sheng...
Even if it is Chai Shao, even if Chai Shao and Xiao Yu are two completely different types of people, they are both the same when facing Li Sheng, and they will feel scared from the bottom of their hearts. This person is too scary.
What is it that can make people like Li Sheng sigh like this...
In an instant, words such as "subjugation of the country and annihilation of the species" and "chaos in the world" popped up in Chai Shao's mind without any basis, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead instantly!
"Holy Commander, why..."
"Oh, no...it's not what you think. It's like this..."
Li Sheng then expressed his views on the current wave of businessmen opening semicolons, which were the thoughts just now.
...and I added that although merchants have always been looked down upon, those who dare to go to sea to challenge their fate this time are all warriors, and they are also the truly most elite and brave group of people on the land of China...
If the damage is too heavy, I'm afraid the future will be unlucky.
After wearing it for so long, Li Sheng also gradually understood some lingo words commonly used by the ancients. For example, the word "unlucky" does not actually refer to religion and fortune-telling, but the ancients are implicitly hinting that they are not optimistic about the prospects of something...
Now, although Li Sheng did not deliberately learn it, he has gradually become familiar with this way of speaking.
When Chai Shao heard this, his brows furrowed tightly...
No one understands the great risks of going to sea and the hardships of a foreign environment better than him. However, those who are able to go to sea to explore this time do not have the full support of the imperial court and the right to work, but they are working hard with a strong sense of self-reliance and self-reliance.
.
If something really happened on a large scale, there would be something wrong...
However, Chai Shao frowned only for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, Chai Shao said directly, "It's indeed impressive...but Master, I have something to say to you. Maybe you can use it."
"Something happened? What happened?"
Li Sheng did not expect that Chai Shao would really have something serious to do with him. After all, although he had made friends with this Tang Dynasty general and he was still his superior, Li Sheng still believed that Chai Shao was the senior...
And then...
"Well, my fleet and men recently found an oil spring in the southeast corner..."
"This was not discovered through exploration. It was discovered while out hunting. Alas, these stubborn people are really..."
Chai Shao was about to complain that his little brother didn't show up properly when he left the house, but Li Sheng was stunned when he heard this...
Damn it? The Southeast Military Base... discovered an oil field?
Oil spring...what does this mean?
Or is it the kind that is directly visible to the naked eye from the surface of the earth? Damn...
Li Sheng's face was dull, and then he suddenly laughed.
"Mr. Chai, we have a solution!"
"Ah? What can I do..."
Chai Shao was so nervous when Li Sheng laughed at him that his scalp was a little fried... Because Li Sheng's magic power is really boundless. Even this guy can be so excited. I'm afraid...
The Tang Dynasty is going to undergo another big change?
Thinking of this, Chai Shao also understood why he was so nervous and excited... You must know that every time Li Sheng takes action, the national power of the Tang Dynasty skyrockets.
Who is not excited about this? Who is not excited?
…
Soon after.
Mangbai Walled City.
It is said to be a city, but there are still no city walls in this area. As for a city like Lingzhou without walls... it is even further away to build it to that point.
Cement is very good, cement is very convenient, and cement buildings are neat, clean and strong, but it is still too far to transport enough cement to build a city from Hangzhou and Zhongzuo Suo to Mangbai City.
And it's not a camp, but it's not that big of a deal.
In this place, there are warehouses for storing materials, docks for docking ships to load and unload goods, ports suitable for shielding from wind and waves, and even a room. Although the decoration is not luxurious - or rather, there is no decoration at all, and there are no carved beams and paintings, it is still very
The clean and tidy large wooden house stands quietly as a restaurant and wine shop.
Although... there are not many customers in this restaurant, most of them are the builders of this restaurant.
But after all, it has begun operations and started to make profits. There is no doubt that in time, due to its location on the port and a group of defenders who are not afraid of hardships and dangers, this restaurant will definitely have a bright future even if it is still simple today.
Asmin wiped the thick layer of hot sweat on her forehead, without looking back, and said in a calm tone, "How much was harvested today?"
"Boss, there are twelve ships today, with a total of one thousand swords..."
"Okay, that's pretty good, um..."
A smile finally appeared on Asmin's lips, but she quickly restrained it.
You can be happy and proud when you are the boss, but until the final result is fully presented, you have to remember that you haven't won yet.
After a lot of painstaking planning... relying on all the knowledge she had gained from practicing in Lingzhou, Asmin almost went against the will of heaven and organized about a hundred people to build an iron-making furnace in this camp - a hydraulic one.
Although it is not as good as the top blast furnaces used by Datang, and the steel produced is not comparable, but...after all, as a graduate of Lingzhou College, he is still completely different from ordinary merchants, and he still makes use of water power.
Although the water-driven ironmaking furnace is still "making" iron, its efficiency has been greatly improved, and... As an ambitious top student, Asmin not only understands the ironmaking technology of the blast furnace, but also Li Sheng who was the first to work in Youhu.
She also generally mastered the iron-making technology developed in the area.
...and now, all of this has finally come into use.
After listening to her subordinate Bu Qu's joyful report about the proceeds from selling the saber today, Asmin felt a little sad in her heart...but she suppressed it in a flash, knowing that she didn't have time to experience it yet.
