Three Kingdoms: Prosper Han from the beginning of brushing favorability

Chapter 239 Frightened Li Yan, Calm Meng Huo

Liu Chan took the black thing suspiciously, and the place he touched immediately turned black.

This, isn't this coal?
I thought it was something strange, but it turned out to be coal.Coal was not a rare thing in the Three Kingdoms period. At this time, it was called coal, and it had been widely used in daily life and production activities such as heating and iron making.

Wait... Could it be?

"Uncle Zhuge, did you discover a carboniferous mine?" Liu Chan's eyes lit up.

A piece of coal is not a big deal, but if a coal mine is discovered, it is different...

Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "After Liang led his army across Lu, when he took over the remaining land of Yuexi County in the south, a group of soldiers under Li Yan found a black stone exposed in the mountains west of Lushui and north of the flooded water. You can know it from a closer look. It was coal."

Liu Chan was overjoyed, and then thought of something else, and asked excitedly, "How many big trees there are there, and the white catkins fly after the fruit cracks?"

This time Zhuge Liang was stunned for a moment, and Fang said: "Exactly, the prince has never been here before, how do you know?"

Liu Chan had already thought about how to deal with this: "When Zhao's firm was in business in Nanzhong, I ordered them to memorize the geography and scenery. They heard people from this place mention this place, but they didn't know the specific location."

Zhuge Liang suddenly said: "It turns out that this place has been discovered long ago, but it has not been exploited for some reason."

"Perhaps the person who discovered it was a barbarian, so they don't know this charcoal." Liu Chan said with a smile, "The cotton wool in this fruit can keep out the cold. If Uncle Zhuge arrives there in the morning for a month or two, you can see the tree blooming." Like fire, its flowers can also be eaten to satisfy hunger or used as medicine."

This flower and this tree all have a great background. The tree is a kapok tree, and the flower is a kapok, also called... Panzhihua!

"The prince has extensive knowledge, and he knows a lot, even if he is not as good as him." Zhuge Liang said with a relieved smile.

Liu Chan waved his hand and said: "Father ordered Uncle Zhuge, Yishi and other famous people to teach me since I was a child, so that I have today's knowledge. By the way, we can recruit civilians to dig and explore there. Maybe there are other minerals and stones. Available."

The coal reserves of the Panzhihua vein are hundreds of millions of tons. Even if the current prospecting and mining technology cannot be fully utilized, what can be mined is definitely enough for production and living.

It's a pity that with the improvement of the blacksmithing talent brought by Pu Yuan, Liu Chan also remembered the particularity of Panzhihua Iron Mine.

The tens of billions of tons of iron ore here are all "vanadium-titanium magnetite", and its separation is difficult. After many experts in later generations, the separation of iron was overcome, and the efficient comprehensive utilization has not yet been achieved.

As for the current level of technology, don't even think about it.

However, coal, copper, and granite are still valuable resources that can be mined and utilized today.

Liu Chan can't wait to send all the Yong family into small coal mines to dig coal...

After that, Liu Chan introduced the resources of Yizhou County to Zhuge Liang.

In the hands of the Yong family alone, they control the gold and silver mines, as well as the Yanchi (salt well).

The gold and silver mines in Bashu are not rich. After Zhuge Liang entered Shu, he said that "Hanjia gold and Zhu Tiyin are not enough to feed themselves."

Although Hanjia County and Zhuti County also have gold and silver mines, if they use manpower to mine, they will not even be able to recover the cost...

Today is different. The gold and silver mines in Yizhou County are much richer than the river bottom gold sand in Shangyong.

Needless to say the value of salt, although the profit of this thing is not very high, it is something that everyone cannot do without.

Since the Western Han Dynasty, the Yantie official camp has begun, and Lao Liu Group is no exception.

"There are still farms and fishermen here. If the utilization efficiency can be improved, the people in Nanzhong can have enough food."

The Dianchi Lake and Fuxian Lake in Yizhou County can also provide a large amount of aquatic products. If it weren't for the Yong family who only cared about their own enrichment and didn't care about personnel, how could the bottom-level people here be so poor that they couldn't cover their clothes.

"Yueyi County has abundant water systems and plains, which can teach the local people to reclaim and grow rice. Even if it is not enough to supply other places, it is enough to feed themselves." Zhuge Liang also introduced the results of his investigation in Yuexi County, "It is impossible to cultivate It can also teach the barbarians the skills of planting mulberry, raising silkworms, and weaving silk.”

After this battle, Liu Chan and others have a better understanding of the distribution of resources in Nanzhong.

If it can be used properly, not only is this not a barren and barren land, but it can even be said to be a natural treasure house.

And if you want the agriculture, commerce, and handicraft industries to develop smoothly, a stable and harmonious environment is the prerequisite.

If they are still rioting and rebelling like before, then they will develop a hammer.

"I have a few ideas about the governance of Nanzhong, and I want to discuss them with Uncle Zhuge," Liu Chan said.

"Prince, please speak."

"First of all, the Yong family and the Huo family must not stay. I have settled the Huo family. As for the Yong family, I think..."

The two talked about the future development and personnel arrangements, and they couldn't stop talking until the guards came to inform that the whole army and generals were in place, and only when the two of them arrived and the celebration banquet began, the two stopped discussing.

……

"This time, General Li set fire to Gaoding's main force, killed the leader of the bandits, and made his first contribution to the West Route Army. I respect General Li alone." Liu Chan walked in front of Li Yan with a wine cup.

Li Yan hurriedly got up and said: "It's all Zhuge's military master's ingenious plan, Yan just did what he was supposed to do, how dare he take credit for it."

Liu Chan said with a smile: "Hey~ meritorious service is meritorious service. General Li doesn't have to be overly humble. I will write it in the battle report later and ask my father to reward me as a general."

[Li Yan: The current favorability is 0]

[Li Yan favorability +5] (5)

"Thank you, Prince Yan." Li Yan bowed and cupped his hands.

Holding the wine cup in front of him, Liu Chan carefully looked at this person who ruined Zhuge Prime Minister's great opportunity for the Northern Expedition in history. According to Uncle Zhuge, this person has extraordinary abilities, and he is by no means a generation of wine and rice.

Why such a clumsy method was used to harm others and oneself in history is now a mystery, but Liu Chan only hopes that he will not make the wrong choice this time.

When Li Yan was stared at by the young prince in front of him, he felt that his gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing into the darkest part of his heart.

As an ambitious, ambitious, and capable person, he naturally pays close attention to Liu Chan, whether it is his mischievous mischief in the past, or his invincible bravery later.

But hearing it is one thing, seeing it with your own eyes is another.

During the conversation just now, it was like a spring breeze, warm like the spring sun.

But now he stared at him as if he was standing in the biting cold wind with bare buttocks in winter...

Li Yan's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he couldn't hold back any longer. He said, "Prince, prince...? What's wrong with this minister?"

Then Liu Chan withdrew his scrutiny, and said meaningfully: "No, General Li is too worried. The general just needs to continue to behave himself, report to the country, and sympathize with Li Shu. Don't waste people's money for your own selfishness, don't do it for your own. Desiring to be jealous and jealous of ability... is my great man, a good general."

Li Yan's complexion suddenly turned pale, and his heart beat like a drum.

At the beginning, he was indeed dissatisfied with Zhuge Liang from the Jingzhou faction, and wanted to find something wrong...

During Qianwei's tenure as the prefect, he did use public wealth and people's resources to build a mansion for himself.

But one thing he has not announced, and one thing the prince has never been to Qianwei, the two of them have never met before, so why can they see through themselves at once?

Li Yan suddenly felt that the prince was mysterious and unpredictable, and also remembered the rumors circulating in Nanzhong that he was becoming more and more mysterious. Already!"

Liu Chan immediately stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile, "Gu is just a word of encouragement, and General Li has never committed such a crime, so why did he say that? Come, Gu respects you."

The piercing sharp gaze just now was as fake, and the 14-year-old boy in front of him had a friendly smile on his face, showing no sign of blame at all.

It's just that he didn't dare to treat the prince as a boy at this time.

The king is old, and this is his future master.

After drinking a glass of wine, Li Yan began to seriously think about how to be an official in the future so that he can be reused by this subordinate...

……

Outside, Yong Kai and the Meng family brothers in the county prison were relatively silent as they celebrated their success with a feast.

Yong Kai looked at the wild vegetables and insects in front of him and wanted to cry, but he ate this all the way when he was fleeing, and he still ate this when he was in prison...

Looking at Meng Huo's side, he was actually very calm, as if he was eating lamb leg and beef with relish.

"Brother Meng, you..."

boom!
"Ouch!"

Before he could speak, Meng Huobo's big fist landed on his eye, creating a black eye.

"Meng Huo! How dare you... ouch, ouch, stop hitting, ah!"

Meng Huo still seemed to be puzzled, so he greeted him with old punches.

It wasn't until the beating of Yong Kai that the wailing sound became quieter, and the guards outside knocked on the cell door: "What are you arguing about! Stay honest, or you will suffer!"

Yong Kai burst into tears when he heard the words, even if I just stayed there, I didn't suffer less flesh and blood? !
"Yes, he did it first!" Yong Kai, who had one missing front tooth and was a bit leaky, pointed at Meng Huo who was still glaring.

It's a pity that the guard ignored him, and only said: "No matter how dishonest you are, the two of you will be whipped together!"

He went out without looking back.

"Trash." Meng Huo said something disdainful, and then sat back.

After seeing the warning from the guard, Yong Kai dared not do anything again, and immediately sarcastically said: "You are not a waste, why are you here? You are so calm!"

"Hmph, I'm still useful to Liu Chan, I can't die, why not take it easy?" Meng Huo sneered, "Unfortunately, you are doomed."

Yong Kai: "..."

This Meng Huo seems to be much clearer than the one in the novel...
