"King Bin is talented, but because I am trapped in a small Liaoxi, I am really talented." Feng Daiwen said apologetically.

"Hehe, why did Wei Guo say this, he is running around for the same Tang Dynasty, doing the same things for the people, when Zhou is happy, he talks about Qucai." Ma Zhou said sincerely with a smile.

"King Bin's character is noble, I can't do it!" Feng Daiwen sighed.

"Wei Guo came just in time, this mine is within a radius of 20 miles, and a total of four ores of copper, iron, gold, and coal have been found, as well as several unknown minerals, of which iron ore is the most.

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

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

"Yes, there are so many ores, the abundance of mineral deposits, it is simply unexpected, there are currently 10,000 captives of Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, plus the Heishui Ya tribe, 3,000 young people of the Mi tribe, and the rest are Turkic people who are fighting, and 50,000 Khitan people are mining.

In addition, there are 100,000 Japanese slaves, 8,000 Tang people, women doing chores, light work, and young and strong mining. Ma Zhou reported.

"Ore refining, non-Tang people are not allowed to participate, and if you build a village nearby, I will let Laiji bring 10,000 horses to guard it.

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

"Xiaguan understands that there are coal mines here, kilns, and steelmaking are much more convenient, and the coal mines on the border of Jizhou can completely keep the winter in western Liaoning from being cold." Ma Zhou put down the pen in his hand and said with a smile.

"Youzhou and Yizhou are also cold, use the Governor's Mansion Seal, let them recruit some people to come to mine, and also give wages." Feng Daiwen thought about it and said.

"Good! That way, it's a lot easier! Ma Zhou nodded in agreement.

"After the spring ploughing, General Zhifu Sili will select 20,000 Turkic warriors to come, and let them be stationed here as well, and you can mobilize them according to the situation." Feng Daiwen admonished.

"Of the five Xi people, one is willing to come to work, and two are willing to go to arrest the prisoners, but the other two ignore the order of the governor's office, do you want to teach them a lesson?" Ma Zhou asked.

"After spring ploughing, it will be extinguished, and others will not be allowed to sleep soundly next to the couch! You can also kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, anyway, there is a shortage of manpower in mining, so the general will lead people out on the expedition. Feng Daiwen's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said without hesitation.

"Hey, hey! No problem, I think General Obsessive will be happy to slip around. Ma Zhou said with a smile, no wonder Ma Zhou laughed, Xi Ren, the Khitan had been subjugating to the Turks in the early years.

Now even the Khitan people have taken refuge in the whole clan, and the Xi people don't know where the courage comes from, they are so ignorant of life and death, and they are happy to educate their former younger brothers.

"Hehe, I guess I've been in the mountains for a long time, and my mind is not good!" Feng Daiwen was also amused, the Central Plains has always claimed to be the Heavenly Dynasty, and has always been gentle with the foreign races of Fanbang, which also makes many tribes disobey the Tang Dynasty.

I thought that when the time came, I would admit my mistake, and whoever offered something would get a large amount of money in return, but they wouldn't know that they were facing a big nationalism this time, and they had never had much good impression of these nations who had no impression in the future.

"The four counties of Liaoxi government affairs bin wang occasionally care about it, the most important thing is the mine, after the spring ploughing, I went out to conquer the country of Pi, and then it is Nanyang.

All the affairs here are please, the military can find the public Cheng Zhijie of Youzhou Suguo, and if there is anything that cannot be decided, it will be played directly. Feng Daiwen advised, and then explained to him the transfer arrangements for Wang Yan and others.

"Don't worry! Although Zhou can't lead Liaoxi to much development, Xiao Gui Cao followed, and there was no problem in ensuring a stable one. Ma Zhou Zhengrong replied.

"With the talent of King Bin, this is naturally assured, since the mine can burn porcelain and glass, and then my family sent craftsmen to come, which happened to be sold to the three countries of the peninsula.

As for the gold mines, they were determined according to the amount of mined, and if the finances were tight, they were all kept, and if they were rich, they were handed over to the imperial court. The two men talked as they walked along the mine.

Ma Zhou's explanation of Feng Daiwen was very carefully recorded in the notebook and put it in his arms.

"At present, the proven mine occupies a radius of more than ten miles, and at present, it is enough for Datang to mine for hundreds of years." The two stood on the small hill and looked around, and Ma Zhou said excitedly.

This mine can be said to be the largest iron mine in Datang at present, and the coal mine is also huge, all found under his own rule, mining, not only can bring huge benefits to Datang, but also fame, credit is also huge, especially Ma Zhou has a calm mind, and can't help but be excited.

Of course, Feng Daiwen knew that the largest iron mines in the country in later generations could not be mined for hundreds of years by manpower, and the same is true for coal mines, and these two mines are open-pit mines, which are not at high altitudes and are the most convenient to mine.

"Although the prospects are good, the task is equally difficult, roads, shelter, and guarding against aliens." Feng Daiwen sighed.

"Zhou Yuan guards Liaoxi in this life and mines these two mines for the Tang Dynasty, which is more meaningful than staying in the center." Ma Zhou opened his arms and said loudly in a hug shape.

"Haha, why does King Bin need to be like this, in the future, the Tang Dynasty will become rich and strong, and he will directly wipe out the surrounding countries, so that 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 is not as good as this side." Feng Daiwen put his head close to Ma Zhou and said in a low voice.

"Seriously! Where did the Governor know? Ma Zhou suddenly raised his head and asked in surprise, he didn't know where Feng Daiwen got the news.

After all, the spies of Goguryeo were all sent out by themselves, and they did not find that Feng Daiwen had arranged for someone else to go.

"King Bin, don't be too careful, there are few large-scale mineral deposits in the world, I don't know, these are all discovered by the family teacher in the past years when he walked the world." Feng Daiwen was worried that Ma Zhou would misunderstand that he didn't trust him, so he sent another man, so he explained.

"Lingshi is a generation of masters, but it's a pity that he is a friend, if he can ask for a lesson or two, it will not be in vain." Ma Zhou had long admired Feng Daiwen's miscellaneous studies, and he was even more fascinated by his legendary master.

"Ah, yes, the family teacher is a pedantic man, but it's a pity that he was young and ignorant, and he didn't learn the family teacher, which is a pity." Feng Daiwen was stunned for a moment, so he had to take the words and pretend to regret it.

This means that if you tell a lie, you need to make up for it with a hundred lies, but if you keep saying it for decades, it is a true thing.

"How can such a huge iron mine fall into the hands of a small Goguryeo, and its country should be destroyed!" Ma Zhou was not entangled in Feng Daiwen's master, but was indignant about Goguryeo's occupation of iron mines, after all, iron ore is related to national strength, and such a huge iron ore mine can improve a lot of Datang's strength, and it has been continuously improved for hundreds of years.
