Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 271 Planning
"Bin Wang is a great talent, but because I was trapped in the little Liaoxi, I really lost my talent." Feng Daiwen said apologetically.

"Hehe, why did Wei Guo say that? They both worked for the Tang Dynasty and did things for the common people. When Zhou is happy, why should he talk about his talents?" Ma Zhou said sincerely with a smile.

"Prince Bin has a noble character, I can't match it!" Feng Daiwen sighed.

"Weiguo came just in time. The mine has a radius of twenty li. Four kinds of ores including copper, iron, gold and coal have been found, as well as several unidentified minerals, among which iron ore is the most.

The craftsman said that there is also good clay for firing porcelain and ore for making glaze. Ma Zhou implicitly accepted Feng Daiwen's compliment, and said with a little excitement.

"Oh, there are so many associated mines!" Feng Daiwen said in shock.

"That's right, there are so many ores, and the richness of mines is beyond expectation. There are currently [-] captives from Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, plus the Heishui Mohe tribe, and the [-] young adults from the Qudumi tribe. Fifty thousand Turkic and Khitan people are mining.

In addition, there are [-] Japanese slaves, [-] Tang people, women doing chores, easy jobs, and young and strong mining. "Ma Zhouhui reported.

"Ore refining, non-people of the Tang Dynasty are not allowed to participate, and in addition to building a nearby village, I will ask Laiji to bring 1 horses to guard it.

In addition, let the people of Datang monitor the captives and report them immediately if there is a situation, which is more effective than the arranged guards. " Feng Daiwen suggested.

"Your official understands that with coal mines and kilns, steelmaking is much more convenient. The coal mines on the border of Jizhou can completely keep Liaoxi from being cold in winter." Ma Zhou put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile.

"Youzhou and Yizhou are equally cold. Use the seal of the Governor's Mansion to ask them to recruit some people to come to mine, and also pay wages." Feng Daiwen said after thinking about it.

"Good! In this way, it will be much easier!" Ma Zhou nodded in agreement.

"General Zhishisili will select [-] Turkic soldiers to come after the spring plowing, and let them be stationed here as well. You can transfer them according to the situation." Feng Daiwen warned.

"One of the five Xiren tribes was willing to come to work, and two followed the instructions to arrest prisoners, but the other two ignored the orders of the governor's mansion. Do you want to teach them a lesson?" Ma Zhou asked.

"It will be destroyed after the spring plowing. How can others be allowed to sleep soundly next to the couch! You can also kill chickens and monkeys. Anyway, there is a shortage of manpower for mining, so General Zhishisili will lead people to the expedition." Feng Daiwen's eyes flashed coldly, without hesitation Said.

"Hey! No problem, I think General Zhisili will be happy to hang around." Ma Zhou said with a chuckle. It's no wonder that Ma Zhou laughed, mocking people, Khitan has been surrendering to the Turks for a few years.

Now even the whole Khitan family has come to seek refuge, Xi Ren doesn't know where the courage comes from, he is so reckless, he is willing to educate his former younger brother if he thinks about it.

"Hey, I guess it's because I've been in the mountains for a long time, and my brain is not good!" Feng Daiwen was also amused. The Central Plains has always claimed to be a kingdom of heaven, and has always been gentle with foreigners.

I thought it would be a big deal to admit my mistake at that time, and whoever would offer something and get a big gift in return, but they would not know that what they were facing this time was a big nationalism. Not much favor.

"It's enough for the government officials of the four counties in western Liaoning to care about it occasionally. The most important thing is the mines. After the spring plowing, I will go to the Pyu Kingdom, and then Nanyang.

All the affairs here are left to you, the military can find the Youzhou Suguo Gong Cheng Zhijie, and if there is something that cannot be decided, just report it directly. "Feng Daiwen exhorted, and then explained to him the transfer arrangements for Wang Yan and others.

"The governor can go out with confidence! Although Zhou can't lead the development of Liaoxi, Xiao Gui and Cao Sui can guarantee a stable situation." Ma Zhou Zhengrong replied.

"With King Bin's talent, I can rest assured about this. Since the mine can burn porcelain and colored glaze, my family sent craftsmen to come and sell them to the three countries of the peninsula.

As for the gold mines, they are determined according to the amount of mining. If the finances are tight, all of them will be kept, and if they are rich, they will be handed over to the court. "The two talked while walking along the mine.

Ma Zhou wrote Feng Daiwen's confession very carefully in his notebook and kept it in his pocket.

"Currently, the proven mines occupy a radius of more than ten miles. From the current point of view, it is enough for the Tang Dynasty to mine for hundreds of years." The two stood on the small hill and looked around, Ma Zhou said excitedly.

This mine can be said to be Datang's largest iron mine at present, and the coal mine is also huge, all discovered and mined under his own control, not only can bring great benefits to Datang, but also have a great reputation and credit, especially Ma Zhou's peace of mind , I couldn't help being excited.

Of course, Feng Daiwen knew that one of the largest large-scale iron mines in the country in later generations would not be able to be mined for hundreds of years with only manpower. The same is true for coal mines. Moreover, these two mines are open-pit mines, and the altitude is not high, so they are the most convenient for mining.

"Although the prospect is good, the task is equally difficult, the road, the residence, and the prevention of aliens." Feng Daiwen sighed.

"Zhou wishes to guard the west of Liaoning in his life, and help Datang to mine these two mines well. This is more meaningful than staying in the center." Ma Zhou said loudly with arms wide open, hugging.

"Haha, why should King Bin be like this? In the future, when the Tang Dynasty becomes prosperous and powerful, he will directly send troops to destroy the surrounding countries. In this way, Liaoxi will become the mainland of the Tang Dynasty. Why should he guard it?" Feng Daiwen said with a hearty smile.

"And there is a bigger iron mine in Liaodong, but it's not as easy to mine here." Feng Daiwen put his head close to Ma Zhou and said in a low voice.

"Really! Where did the governor know?" Ma Zhou raised his head suddenly and asked in surprise. He didn't know where Feng Daiwen got the news.

After all, Goguryeo's spies were sent out by themselves, and it was not discovered that Feng Daiwen arranged for another person to go there.

"Prince Bin, don't worry too much. I don't know that there are very few large mines in the world. They were discovered by my master when he traveled all over the world in the past." Feng Daiwen was worried that Ma Zhou would misunderstand that he didn't trust him, so he sent another man, so he explained in words .

"It's a pity that the teacher is a generation of masters. It's a pity that the fate is limited. If you can ask for a lesson or two, this life will not be in vain." Ma Zhou had long admired Feng Daiwen's miscellaneous knowledge, and he was even more fascinated by his legendary master.

"Ah, that's right, the tutor learned about heaven and man, but it's a pity that he was young and ignorant and didn't learn [-]% from the tutor." Feng Daiwen was taken aback for a moment, and had to accept the words, pretending to be regretful and saying.

This means telling a lie requires a hundred lies to make up for it, but if you insist on telling it for decades, this is a true thing.

"How could such a huge iron mine fall into the hands of the little Goguryeo, and its country should be destroyed!" Ma Zhou was no longer entangled with Feng Daiwen's master, but was indignant at Goguryeo's possession of the iron mine. Mining can enhance Datang's strength a lot, and it has been continuously improved for hundreds of years.

　Thanks to He Ke, the monthly ticket for the big brothers who have nothing to do. These days, my lover’s grandfather passed away, so I can only keep two updates. If I have time, I will update a little more.
