Versatile Mage: Born in Rome, summoned the Golden Dragon King

Chapter 43 Shao Zheng: Asuka City is yours! I said so!

Just eight in total?
Four more have been mined?
When Shao Zheng and others heard this number, they all looked at Ye Qiu in shock.

I didn’t expect there were so many mineral veins on the seabed!
But they soon reacted
Perhaps the resources on land were once so abundant!
But their ancestors have lived on this land for thousands of years, many mineral veins have long been dug out, and the seabed is still a treasure land that has never been developed by anyone!

As time goes by, this kind of concentrated mineral veins will be formed.

Shao Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Eight mineral veins are already quite a lot. Xiaoqiu, do you know how much we have to pay to get eight mineral veins in the northwest?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tianyuan, Pang Lai, Zhu Meng and others who knew the actual situation in the Northwest fell silent.

Especially Jiang Tianyuan
Most of the noble families in the country only saw the Jiang family’s superior status, but did not see how many family disciples the Jiang family sent to the northwest to support the country’s policies, nor did they see how many these family disciples sacrificed!

Even Jiang Tianxin and Jiang Tianchen, the most loyal descendants of the clan, were sent to the northwest!
Not to mention the even larger number of collateral descendants!

Shao Zheng took a deep breath and a smile appeared on his face again.

"Anyway, Xiaoqiu, you have solved a big problem for the country! This is a good thing! I heard from Tianyuan that you want to sell all these ores to the country!"

"Don't worry, the country won't let you suffer any loss!"

Shao Zheng patted Ye Qiu's shoulder vigorously, his eyes full of approval.

As long as the next eight veins are mined normally

Even if the development in the northwest encounters obstacles

The pressure on his shoulders can also be reduced a lot
At this moment, Ye Qiu's importance even ranked first in Shao Zheng's heart!

Although enslaving sea monsters to mine the seabed minerals mainly relied on Qiu'er's ability, Shao Zheng noticed the indifference and vigilance in Qiu'er's eyes the first time he saw her.

before coming
He and Jiang Tianyuan also understood
Although Qiu'er is a "totem beast", he doesn't trust anyone except Ye Qiu!

in other words
If Ye Qiu, the totem guardian, was gone

The demon empire established by Qiu'er will not only not be an ally of Daxia, but it is very likely to be an enemy of Daxia! This can be seen from Qiu'er's indifferent eyes!

But in this regard, Shao Zheng could only sigh.

He knew many secrets about totem beasts, including those about humans betraying the totem beasts that protected them.

After all

In fact, it is humans who are sorry for those totem animals.
So in Shao Zheng's view
It is also very normal that Qiu'er does not trust humans other than her guardian!

And everything is fine now. At least Qiu'er is not as extreme as the demon. Although she does not trust other humans, she will not attack randomly!
As long as Ye Qiu is here, Qiu'er will not be the enemy of their Da Xia!

And it can also continue to provide them with resources!
"Xiao Qiu, there are so many seabed mineral veins in the sea area around Asuka City. There should be some in more distant places too, right? When are you going to take them down?"

As he spoke, Shao Zheng looked at Ye Qiu expectantly.

People are greedy and want more!
As the Grand Speaker, Shao Zheng naturally wants to obtain more resources for the country's development!
But Ye Qiu spread his hands and said, "Grand Speaker, it's hard to say. At least with Qiu'er's current strength, it is impossible to expand externally."

"The deeper the sea, the stronger the Siren is. Without the strength of a monarch, it is not recommended to open up the sea, and if the distance is too far..."

"Those sirens may not be obedient."

Shao Zheng nodded, not surprised at all.

However, he also understood what Ye Qiu meant, which was that as long as Qiu'er's strength was improved to the monarch level, he could expand outward, at least in the coastal areas, because there were almost no powerful sirens in the coastal areas.

At most, he is just a commander-level person!

Shao Zheng looked at Qiu'er thoughtfully, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. "From today on, the resources needed for Qiu'er's growth will be provided by the country!" As if seeing Ye Qiu's shock, Shao Zheng continued in a joking tone:

"What? Surprised?"

"Xiaoqiu, you are the totem guardian, but Qiu'er is also the totem of the entire country. What's wrong with the country providing some resources to train Qiu'er? What's more, the stronger Qiu'er is, the greater the benefit to our country!"

"I believe that this little investment now will pay off in no time!"

"At the same time, the Palace Mage Corps and the Forbidden Army will send a team of mages to Feiniao City to protect this place and be responsible for the subsequent transactions."

"Panglai, you stay here too!"

Pang Lai smiled and nodded, having no objection to the Speaker's resolution.

He is the first summoning master in Daxia

Presumably, the Grand Speaker also saw his ability to train contracted beasts, so he kept him here, hoping that he could help Qiu'er grow faster.

Soon, after looking at the other three mineral veins.

The Grand Speaker's entire state underwent some subtle changes. To put it simply, he became full of energy, as if he were experiencing a happy event.

The gloom and sadness between his brows also dissipated for the most part when he saw the mountains of ore.

There was a look of happiness and heartache on his face.

The good news is that Daxia has gained a new resource vein!
What is heartbreaking is that when the sirens mine the ore, they rely entirely on brute force without any skills. A large amount of ore is knocked down by them with brute force, but many ores lose their function or essence due to surface damage.

A good man like Grand Speaker Shao Zheng who works hard at home and manages the household would inevitably feel a little distressed after seeing this.

But there is no way for now~
We can't teach these sirens how to mine, can we?

Whether they can understand is a question!

Fortunately, due to various issues, although there are some minor problems with the "quality" of the ore, the "quantity" is definitely sufficient. Creatures like the Red Lingyao and the Hunter can reach the general level when they grow up.

Now it's like installing a small electric motor~
Crazy rotation of special iron pickaxe!

Don’t mention the resistance underwater or anything like that, all we can say is that great force really does work miracles!
Before leaving, Shao Zheng patted Ye Qiu on the shoulder and said:
"Hurry up and improve your strength!"

"I will keep the position of Asuka City Councillor and the land around Asuka City for you!"

Just like that, the Grand Speaker hurried away with Zhu Meng.

Pang Lai and Jiang Tianyuan stayed behind
The former was due to the order of the Grand Chancellor, while the latter stayed to see his daughter.

After the departure of the Grand Speaker Shao Zheng

Jiang Tianyuan glared at Ye Qiu fiercely

He then pulled Jiang Shaoxu, who had less girlish temperament but more unique charm, aside and started chatting in private.

Pang Lai didn't notice anything was wrong.
Just looking Qiu'er up and down
He also knew a lot about totem beasts, but this was his first time to come into contact with a totem beast.

Naturally, I was very excited!
It was Qiu'er's indifferent and vigilant eyes that made him dare not turn his excitement into actual action. He could only stand there and look at the elegant and noble Qiu'er from afar.

He dared not hurt this little ancestor!

Otherwise, the Grand Speaker will have to bring people to tear his head off and kick it like a ball!
