That's a big deal! It is also Li Chengji who is busy with military and political affairs, so he is not so concerned about industry. The understanding of the mineral resources of Central Asia is not so clear.

In fact, Central Asia is extremely rich in mineral resources. Don't talk about it far away, let's talk about the Kyrgyz Mountains where Lee Seungji is located. There are a lot of oil and gas resources, and there is no shortage of ores such as coal and iron. More importantly, it also produces gold ore.

This is a good deal for the white wolf with empty gloves! Anyway, in this battle of Fuliao, Naiban took a lot of prisoners. And unlike Khorezm, the barbarians belong to outsiders. Moreover, he did misdeeds in Daliao, which made the people complain. Punishing them for mining to atone for their sins is the most appropriate place to go.

Thinking of this, Lee Seungji thought of Kyrgyzstan's most famous Kumtor gold mine. It's near Lake Isseiker, on the edge of the Atami Enclosure. Li Chengji forgot about this stubble before! Now that I think about it, I naturally can't let it go.

However, the largest number of gold mines are in Kazakhstan. This piece of land has been eaten by Khorasan, and the gold in the soil will naturally be dug up to see the light.

When the time comes, you can learn from the future generations and come to a big excavation in the northwest... No, it's a big development. We will devote our efforts to the development of local minerals. As a result, the Industrial Revolution will bring about a great leap forward in the level of civilization in the world.

Of course, this is a very time-consuming affair. By that time, Li Chengji had also stepped into the coffin board with half a foot. Moreover, the accumulation of technology required by the industrial revolution is also very large. Although Li Chengji has an encyclopedic little purple, he can't do it and cross the huge social accumulation required for social progress.

But in some respects, it is still possible to promote a certain amount of progress in civilization. Like steel!

In the past, Khorasan was very short of iron, but now it occupies almost all of Central Asia, and the iron ore is basically worry-free. In addition, the fuel required for iron smelting can also be replaced by coal. For Khorasan, where forests are scarce and deserts are more, it is a sleepy pillow.

With this kind of thought, Li Chengji didn't stay long. Let the tribes and fugitives be settled, and quickly lead the army to Balasagon. At the same time, a Department of Minerals was established, which was under the name of the Ministry of Industry. He is mainly responsible for mineral exploration, mining and preliminary refining. If the follow-up development is satisfactory to Li Chengji, he can also set up independent companies such as coal and iron.

The benefits created by this are naturally immeasurable.

Therefore, as soon as Li Chengji's mineral division was proposed, it became a sweet spot in the eyes of many people. It's just that Li Chengji attaches more importance to this, and people who are not close to him can't serve it. Therefore, after thinking about it, Li Chengji let his brother Yelu Chong'a take full responsibility for this matter.

Among the brothers, Yelu Chong'a is different from the eldest brother Wang Mingyan's courage and bravery, the second brother Sun Mingxi's intelligence and wisdom, the fourth brother Xiao Alihe's cunning and cleverness, and the sixth brother Kumbas's love and righteousness, there is almost no outstanding place.

But in Li Chengji's heart, Yelu Chong'a is the most reliable. Because Yelu Chong'a has a stability that others don't have. And although he is not superior to others, he has more or less some advantages in everyone. Although this will make him seem ordinary, sometimes, this ordinariness is the most reliable.

For example, in the Department of Minerals, the most important work in the early stage is naturally the exploration of minerals. This requires Yelu Chong'a to personally go to the mineral field to verify and arrange the mining matters. During this period, only those who are stable can bear this pain.

And Jerod Chong'a is not without experience!

After coming to Khorasan, Li Chengji asked him to help in the logistics department of the Ministry of War. There are many things inside, and they are complicated. But Jerod Chongah handled it with great patience. Even the chief officer of the logistics department praised Yelu Chong'a.

Therefore, after thinking about it carefully, Li Chengji felt that Yelu Chongde was the most suitable candidate for the position of the Department of Minerals.

So we arrived at Balasagon and the sun had not yet set. The earthy yellow castle stands quietly in the sunlight, reflecting the tall mountains behind the castle even more majestic and majestic.

Before Li Chengji's army approached, a group of men and horses appeared in front. All of them are wearing brocade robes, and they are obviously not ordinary people. The leader is Princess Huhu. Although there are still injuries on her body, when Li Chengji arrives, she must respond if she can come.

When he got closer, he suddenly looked at Li Chengji, who was sitting on horseback, and the high-spirited Li Chengji was still a little unreal. Once upon a time, Lee Seung-ji was still groveling in front of her. In just a few years, their identities have undergone such a big reversal. If you want to blame, you can only blame Da Liao's bad luck...

Long Gedingli saw that he was in a trance, and quickly touched his elbow.

At this moment, Hun Hu came back to his senses, dismounted and knelt down at Li Chengji and said, "Princess Hun Hu, the princess of the dead country, meet Lord Li." ”。

It's a great gift!

Since the westward migration of the Great Liao, most of the etiquette in the Central Plains has also been humbled. Kneeling is only used on very solemn occasions. Now he is saluting as a princess, which can be regarded as giving Li Chengji enough face. And she also insisted on the word 'dead country', which means that the national honor of Daliao is really broken.

Then Li Chengji's replacement is justified.

With such a sense of interest and cooperation, there is no need for Li Chengji to be embarrassed. And the princess secretly harmed herself, but it was just a child's will. Although the Li family almost suffered a catastrophe at that time, Hun Su was also used as a gun. Now that he thinks about it, it seems that Li Chengji is too petty.

Thinking so, the other Liao officials and generals also knelt down. Li Chengji listened, as if he saw that the whole of Central Asia was bowing down at his feet.

Thinking back to when he first came to Balasagon , he just wanted to be a free prince. Later, due to the sense of urgency of losing the country, he embarked on the great cause of becoming a king and hegemon. This road is destined to be a thorny road paved with blood and flesh! How many soldiers' corpses have fallen on this road, just to achieve today's great cause.

In the past, Li Chengji was still shaken and guilty. But now he's seen it too! If this road is at the end, more people can get a way out. Then there is nothing worthy of heaven and earth in everything he does.

"Yes! I, Khorasan, am kind to the people and tolerant of all peoples. But the law is strict, and it is not allowed to break the law. In the future, you will be the people of Khorasan, and you should remember it. Li Chengji said expressionlessly, and the Liao ministers and generals below all looked solemn, and they should claim to be.

Then Li Chengji mentioned a few more words before letting them get up. And he came straight to Xiao Chongde.
