Chapter 310: Father, show you a baby!

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, but the household subordinates are stumbling, the Ministry of Industry is exploited layer by layer, and the local government has no money, how to repair the official road?

This problem is not only for Fuzhou, but for all remote and backward places. However, it is not possible to generalize, and each region needs to discuss countermeasures according to the actual situation.

Is it hard to build a road? It's not hard!

Your Majesty can send an inspector to supervise this matter, or even personally inquire about it, but what does the king of a country personally supervise the repair of official roads in a state? If it is spread out, it will not be ridiculed to death by other countries.

So is Your Majesty just asking about the renovation of the official road in Fuzhou? Naturally not, if Xiao Rui thinks that he only asks this, then he thinks the question is too simple.

His Majesty's inquiry is an extension, and in fact he is asking how to get rid of poverty and achieve full development in backward Fuzhou!

This problem is much more difficult than building a road.

The peaks and ridges in Fuzhou are towering, the hills are continuous, the river valleys and basins are interspersed, the mountains and hills account for more than 80% of the total area of the whole state, although the water system is dense, there are many rivers, but the water is turbulent, the drop is large, and the river transportation is not an excellent way, in general, the internal and external environment of Fuzhou has affected its development.

Of course, there are advantages here, with lush forests and abundant water, but does it have a big effect?

Can it develop nursing homes, farm stays, or play with hydropower to generate electricity?

In addition, Fuzhou is relatively rich in minerals, the main minerals are iron, manganese, copper, lead and zinc, gold, silver, anthracite, quartz sand, kaolin, granite, etc. The output of many mineral deposits is in the top three of the Great Xia Kingdom.

As we all know, the weakness of Great Xia has always been the scarcity of minerals, and for this reason, after forming an alliance with the Great Yan Kingdom, the primary product of trade is ore. Fuzhou borders the Great Yan Kingdom, and the natural land also contains rich minerals, if it can be developed and utilized, it is definitely a profitable livelihood.

But with this good deck of cards, why can Fuzhou still lose?

First of all, because of the topography, minerals are not placed in front of you, but are hidden deep underground, in the mountains, in the mountains and mountains, how to excavate, how to excavate, how to transport? Moreover, minerals belong to the control of the state, at first the people can open their own mines, and later because of the shortage of minerals, it was banned, and now it must be presided over by the imperial court, and the early mining capital investment is relatively large.

Secondly, it is necessary to arrange miners to find mines, find mineral deposits, and also need a large number of personnel to mine, and mining is very dangerous, once it encounters the earth dragon rolling, it may collapse, and the wages are small, and the people are even more reluctant to do this business.

So a good project is delayed for a variety of reasons.

As for Fuzhou's other advantages, Xiao Rui couldn't think of it.

However, it is a very good development project purely from the perspective of minerals, and the problems mentioned above are not problems as long as they want to be solved.

Don't forget, Xiao Rui now has black powder, and the explosive power of black powder has the power of cracking rocks to open mountains, so my mother no longer has to worry about rocks blocking our way, and it can also save a lot of manpower and material resources, making it easier to excavate mountains.

As the saying goes, as long as the biggest problem is solved, the others can be solved.

But His Majesty also knows this truth, but digging a hole in the mountains is the biggest difficulty.

Xiao Rui clarified the key, so he said with a smile: "Father, if the mineral energy in Fuzhou is excavated on a large scale, then Fuzhou wants to build a spacious and flat official road, wouldn't it be a piece of cake?" ”

"I naturally understand the reason, but the minerals in Fuzhou are not so easy to dig up!" Emperor Xia sighed.

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Father, my son has a baby, I am ready to let my father see it!" ”

"Oh? Let me see? "Emperor Xia is interested, he has never seen anything in the world's treasures, and he even let him see and understand, which is really ashamed.

Xiao Rui said to Mu Chen, who was driving outside: "Mu Chen, stop the carriage." ”

Mu Chen immediately grabbed the reins, and then quickly moved the ladder and let Xiao Rui and Emperor Xia walk down.

At this time, surrounded by mountains, a piece of greenery, the secluded official road is rarely crowded, and the time is quiet.

"Yuan Fang, take out this king's treasure!" Xiao Rui immediately shouted.

Li Yuanfang immediately dismounted, took out a package of black powder, and presented it to Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui said: "Go find a big tree, dig out a hole, and let Your Majesty open their eyes!" ”

"Yes!" Li Yuanfang immediately went to do it.

Xia Huang looked at the paper bag in Xiao Rui's hand curiously and asked, "What is this?" What's so peculiar? ”

Xiao Rui untied the paper bag, revealing the lead and black powder inside. In order to come over, Xia Huang, Hai Dafu, Mu Chen and others checked around, but they didn't find anything peculiar about the black powder.

"Your Majesty, there seems to be sulfur and charcoal powder in here?" After Mu Chen saw it, he couldn't help but say.

Xia Huang nodded and asked, "What, you also want to learn alchemy?" Is this what you call a baby? ”

Xiao Rui said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, just wait for the good news." ”

Seeing that His Majesty was stunned and had never seen the world, Xiao Rui felt a deep evil taste.

As for why he took out the black powder and didn't hide it as a secret weapon, this was also the result of Xiao Rui's careful consideration. Can be used as a secret weapon once or twice, one day it will not be able to hide from Your Majesty, such a powerful treasure deliberately concealed from Your Majesty, but it will cause very bad suspicion, in this case, why not take it out happily, let Your Majesty see Xiao Rui's sincerity!

Xiao Rui has to work hard to show himself, so that he can ascend to the throne of the prince, and the black powder is a step for him to step up to the throne of the prince, which can allow him to step up and be one head higher than the other princes.

After all, other princes still have to make a small fuss to win over officials, Xiao Rui has already prepared for the expansion of the territory, which is strong and which is weak, it is clear at a glance.

Therefore, taking advantage of today's topic, Xiao Rui took the initiative to take out black powder!

Li Yuanfang quickly dug the tree hole, then took the gunpowder bag and stuffed it into the tree hole.

Xiao Rui pointed to this tree, which was more than thirty centimeters in diameter, and asked, "Father, how powerful do you think this bag is?" ”

"Power?" Emperor Xia shook his head and said, "Where do you start talking about power?" What power would this have? ”

Xiao Rui looked at the others, Yan Qing, Mu Chen, and Qinglian Swordsman all frowned, looking puzzled.

"Okay, let's just reveal it! Yuanfang, let's get started. Xiao Rui was full of evil taste, and then pulled Emperor Xia back and retreated.

Li Yuanfang quickly lit the fuse, and then quickly left, and everyone watched as the fuse ignited to the end, burning to the full paper bag stuffed into the hole in the tree.

Next, Xiao Rui expected, and the unexpected explosion of Xia Huang and others exploded!

Rumble...

The explosion sounded, making the hearts of the unsuspecting Xia Huang and Mu Chen tremble, and they subconsciously shrank back, revealing a vigilant nervous reaction.

Immediately after, the trunk of the tree exploded, the white fibers of the tree were torn apart, and the trunk was directly blown off, and then the crown of the tree tilted and collapsed with a bang.

Even if Emperor Xia was well-informed, the first time he saw something of this kind of power, he was shocked, and the others were even more dumbfounded.

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia glanced at each other, their smiles were even happier, and they liked to see people's shocked and stunned expressions, which was full of superiority!

Emperor Xia was the first to come back to his senses, grabbed Xiao Rui, and asked, "What is this?" Why is it so terrifying? Hurry up, tell me! ”

Xiao Rui didn't dare to hide it, and immediately pulled the origin of the invention of black powder to alchemy, which was related to the method of ambushing fire, this statement was seamless, even if His Majesty traced it, he would not find any mistakes.

After listening to Xiao Rui's introduction, Emperor Xia's mind immediately became active.

It's just a small packet, which is to blow up a thick tree, so what if it's hundreds or thousands of pounds?

"It turns out that this is the opportunity for Fuzhou to mine ore as you said Rui'er!" After Emperor Xia finished speaking, his eyes lit up even more!

Bombing mountains and opening rocks is for construction, but what about the military?

What would be the result if an ambush was set up in a place, the enemy was invited into the urn, and then the dead were set on fire?

Emperor Xia suddenly realized the horror of this thing!

Xiao Rui took the opportunity to say: "Father, Erchen once told Champion Hou and Zhuge Commander in the Champion Hou Mansion that Erchen will create a divine weapon that they have never seen before, this black powder is only one of them, it is the first, it will not be the last." So Erchen is not arrogant, he is not daydreaming, but he really didn't take Zhao and Qi in his eyes! ”

Xia Huang was stunned, looking at Xiao Rui's face full of confidence and arrogance, if it was ordinary, he might think that he was too naΓ―ve, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that he was confident.

Yes, I always think of him as too fragile and want to protect him, but he is an adult, he has his own and Ye Qianlan's bloodline, will he be a cowardly and incompetent person?

"Good!" Emperor Xia sighed with emotion, then patted Xiao Rui's shoulder and said, "What is the name of this thing?" ”

"Gunpowder!" Xiao Rui said.

Emperor Xia said solemnly: "This thing is a peerless secret, and it can't be known to anyone, especially the enemy country!" Since you discovered it, the production of this thing will be handed over to you, and in the future, there will be a time when gunpowder roars the world! ”

"Yes, my son obeys!" Xiao Rui hurriedly received the order.

Everyone turned around and looked at the trees that had been blown apart, and the loud noise just now still lingered in their minds.

Next, the group continued to hurry, and when they came to the area around a steep mountain peak, Zhang Ziqin, a Qinglian swordsman who followed closely behind the carriage, suddenly shouted: "Alert, there is an ambush!" ”

Saying that it was too late, Yan Qing immediately set up a five-stone strong bow, and Mu Chen also drew out the saber on his waist. Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei were a little slower, but soon they were also on guard around the carriage.

This Qinglian swordsman Zhang Ziqin is also a master of the Liupin Realm, good at swordsmanship, and his ear power is amazing, he is a staff member recruited by Emperor Xia, and he is not on duty in the palace, so Xiao Rui is also the first time to see him.

And as everyone had just been on alert, the enemy in the dark saw that Xiao Rui and his party were not leaving, and they couldn't fall into the ambush in front, so they immediately rushed out!
