As soon as Suning finished the concert, he headed south to Liangzhou, where the radio equipment he had purchased from the shop system finally came in handy for the first time.

He asked the base camp in Liangzhou about the grassland pianist, and the answer he received was very satisfactory, because that area was a new area that had just been occupied, so it was necessary to calm the panic of the locals as much as possible, so they sent a theatrical performance team, and this pianist was just a member of the team.

According to the plan that has been finalized, there will be many forms of theatrical performances in the Hami area, including but not limited to a variety of miscellaneous dramas, because it is mainly for the middle and low-class people to carry out cultural propaganda activities, so it does not take a very elegant way, more likely to be directly accepted by the miscellaneous operas, because of its reflection of the contradictions in real life, and is focused on being listed as the main component, of course, as the most important common language of the world's countries, music and football, are also listed, but, The people of the Western Regions didn't know much about football at this time, so they could only be spectators and admire the hard work of the athletes on the field.

If he didn't have time to rejoice with the people here, because he still had his work to do, the attack he had launched from the Hami region to the southwest had now yielded initial results, and in the south of Dunhuang County, Su Ming's troops had found the place of his dreams, the Qaidam Basin.

If it weren't for the change in Loulan at that time, his footprints would have been printed here a long time ago, but it was not too late to come here at this time, and there was no one around who could fight with him, which was enough to ensure that this basin would fall into his hands sooner or later.

In the Qaidam Basin, although the climatic conditions are harsh, the absolute temperature difference can reach 60 degrees every year, even in the middle of every day, there will be 30 degrees, and the wind is fierce, and there has even been a strong wind of 40 meters per second in the western region, which is almost a feeling of flying for ordinary people.

But the various mineral resources contained here are also extremely rich, the salt lake swamps in the eastern region are the richest reserves in China, and many decades have been mined from here, while other minerals in the surrounding area, including coal and oil and gas, as well as the lead-zinc ore in the tintie mountain, are also quite rich.

Academician Sun Dianqing once did a systematic study on the distribution of oil and gas here. It's a pity that his research results are too advanced for Suning today, and what he can do now is only to develop the metals and salt mines here, and other things need to wait until the internal combustion engine is invented by scientists before it will have value for it.

As a result, some of the refugees who defected to Liangzhou, and the prisoners captured in the Western Regions War, were originally mobilized here by Suning to mine salt mines, which will become the most important salt supply place in Liangzhou and even the surrounding areas.

I believe that in no more than two months, most of the areas, including the Guanzhong region and the central and eastern parts of the state, Hanzhong County, and even the Shuzhong region, will taste the test here, and as for where other merchants can sell them, Suning is even more difficult to say! Perhaps, even the southeast coastal areas can eat salt from this northwest inland!

With the dream of changing the taste of the people in the southeast, Suning ordered to increase the mining efforts here, and sent those prisoners and warmongers who were in the war or serious to mine salt here, and the Liangzhou base camp maintained an extremely appreciative attitude towards Suning's decision, although some scholars couldn't help but be sarcastic, but when the actual interests were in front of them, their opposition was purely negligible for the practitioners of pragmatist philosophy. Especially the scientists, whose thirst for research funding has been able to swallow up some of the bureaucrats in the base camp! Without this batch of salt, it would have been more difficult to raise funds for research.

As for the merchants and landlords, especially those who have cooperated with the Weishui Company, they have been coveting the salt here for a long time, and they are eager to get the salt mined here as soon as possible, so that they can sell it to other places for profit, especially at this time. The profits of salt and iron are very large.

As a result, Ding Yuan of Bingzhou became Suning's largest partner. This batch of ten yuan profits can help him greatly expand the army, such an important strategic material, he naturally has to send the most intimate people to escort it, so Suning finally had the fate to meet the god of war Lu Bu again.

Lu Bu was obviously a little dissatisfied with Ding Yuan sending him such an errand, but Suning's enthusiasm for him made the resentment in his heart reduce a lot.

The two had lunch together in the cafeteria of Wuwei University, and then went to the library of this university, although Suning knew that people like Lu Bu were not suitable for coming here, but he insisted on doing so, if Lu Bu was willing to accept his own ideas, then this person was still within the scope of recruitment, if not, then what was waiting for him might only be the fire gun that was being manufactured in batches.

Although the manufacturing process of flintlock pistol is not difficult, the requirements for raw materials are slightly higher, and Suning accidentally heard of a thing called a brute musket from several scholars from the Northern Song Dynasty, which is more convenient to manufacture, so he couldn't wait to order those scientists who also imported it to make this thing from the 11th century.

However, this thing is really inconvenient to take to Lu Bu, for a cautious person like him, if he sees this kind of thing that threatens his life enough, and it doesn't need much force to operate, it will undoubtedly make him explode immediately, and he will be inseparable from Suning from now on! If Suning's musket can reach the level of later generations, then he doesn't care about Lu Bu's defection, but Suning can only raise the level of firearms to the level of the Ming Dynasty in a short period of time, and in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and even in the next 200 years of war, the courage and good fighting of military generals is still one of the most critical elements on the battlefield in China.

So Lu Bu, although he can't pose a threat to himself to a large extent, but if he can be co-opted, he should still be co-opted as much as possible, but Suning's temptation finally came to naught, Lu Bu obviously didn't have too much good impression of him, a salt dealer, for him, Suning is just a businessman, although he got the title of Liangzhou Mu, but it is not much different from the bribes, and his credit is just to pacify a group of peasant rogues, which is in his Lu Bu's mind, It's not a merit that can be taken on stage.
