As soon as Jia Min returned to Bukui, he got good news that Dai Zhi and Liu Cheng had arrived. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The two of them set off from the imperial capital with Wei Ruolan, went to Goryeo halfway, then transferred from Goryeo to Tumen, and then passed through Wanqing to Xinningguta, that is, Wula Street in Jilin, and then to Laoningguta, and then traveled all the way, and finally arrived at Bukui.

The two of them left for three months. It looks like a long time. However, along the way, it is necessary not only to hurry, but also to inspect the market and trade routes, and to transport back some important materials, in fact, the time is very urgent.

The journey was dusty, and although they were tired, the two of them still seemed very excited.

"Mr. Dai and Liu Cheng have worked hard all the way."

"Sir Min is polite, we thought you hadn't arrived. Fortunately, it was done. ”

Dai Zhi's tone was full of pride. Liu Cheng smiled on the side and gave Dai Zhi the opportunity to speak.

"What did you bring with you this time?"

"There are mainly sulfur and saltpeter, which are estimated to be enough for half a year. Everything else can be solved here, so I didn't purchase it. So, I made my own decisions and spent all my money on both, but all the money was gone. ”

"Okay, if you run out of money, you should make a decision on the spot. Otherwise, if the mountains and rivers are far away, will they still look for me everywhere and ask how the money is spent? ”

"I worked with Liu Cheng and thought that Chief Min would agree with us to do this, so I cut it first and then played."

"That's very good. Mr. Dai's family, I have entrusted it to Cong Xiucai, and in a few days, I will come with those farmers and craftsmen. They have our official defense documents, and the various checkpoints and local governments will also give face, so there is no need to worry about security. ”

"Thank you, Chief."

"Mr. Dai is polite, this is what I should do. The site of the firearms workshop, Ruolan has already chosen, tomorrow you go to see if it is suitable, if it is not suitable, you will choose another, as long as you like the place, I will give it to you. ”

"How much money you need, you make a budget, and I will allocate money to you. In addition, you will be assigned a platoon of government soldiers to be responsible for the security of the firearms workshop. ”

"The problem of labor can be transferred to you from the exiles, as for the craftsmen, there are not many locally, so we have to wait for our craftsmen to come, and the rest have to be trained by ourselves."

"Bukui has a small iron factory, but the scale is not large, Liu Cheng went to take a look, and he could consider expanding the scale. There is an iron mine in Wendula Mountain, the ore grade is not bad, but the current output is not high, and the production is not very stable. ”

"On the question of products, I thought about it again, or take a two-legged approach, one is military products, and the other is civilian products. The agricultural tools and general tools here are relatively backward, and the demand for civilian products is also huge. ”

Whether it is military or civilian products, the demand for iron tools is huge.

The use of iron can not only improve the service life of the product, but also greatly improve the production efficiency because of its hardness.

For the future development of Bukui, whether it is military, economic and urban construction, there will be a huge demand for iron tools.

Iron was originally a scarce substance in various places, and even as an important strategic material, the imperial court put pig iron and iron tools, salt, sulfur, saltpeter, etc., into the ranks of monopoly sales. In foreign trade, they are all regulated.

High-grade ores and high-purity pig iron are even rarer.

The Windola Hills produce iron ore and are easy to mine open-pit mines. However, the current mining method is still very inefficient. It is only a purely artificial primitive mining method, and the method of explosive blasting has not yet been adopted.

At present, the black powder that is generally used for iron ore mining has not been tested by Jia Min, but according to his estimate, the power should not be enough. Therefore, if you want to mine by blasting, you have to increase the power of gunpowder.

Another factor restricting the production of iron ore is the bandit problem in Wendura Mountain, which is the factor of a flower. Last year, Yizhihua carried out a robbery on the Wendura iron ore mine.

Therefore, in order to make iron ore production normal or even expand and ensure the safety of transportation lines, it is necessary to effectively control the Wendura Mountain area. The premise is also that the problem of a flower must be solved.

Therefore, the issue of Yizhihua is no longer just a problem of public security in the jurisdiction, but also related to the future development of Bukui. It's a military, economic, and political issue.

Maybe even Yizhihua herself didn't realize that her problem would be so serious now.

At noon, Dai Zhi and Liu Cheng were picked up, and Jia Min only arranged for Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan to participate, and did not invite Zhao Dahai.

After eating, Jia Min began to talk to Wei Ruolan secretly.

"We have to solve the problem of Yizhihua as soon as possible, and if this problem is not solved, many things will not be easy to do."

"But there are very few clues at the moment."

Wei Ruolan was actually anxious about this. In his hands, there is currently no valuable information about Yizhihua.

"Even if it's a bandit, she needs to consume. They can't produce anything, and they can't be self-sufficient. Some daily necessities always have to be purchased. ”

"At present, Bukui is the largest cargo distribution center, and if you want to buy something, you always have to buy it from Bukui. So, I guess, Bu Kui must have their inside line here. ”

"The role of undercover agents is nothing more than material supply and intelligence collection, you might as well start with some stores to find clues."

"Yizhihua is everyone's lady, it is said that some poetry talents, in the bandit den, most of them are men and rough people, she is such a bandit leader, it is difficult to have a common language with them in terms of interest, writing, painting, poetry, reading these things, should be a major way for her to pass the time, from this aspect to make some efforts."

"You mean, start with these stores?"

"It's not just that, there's something else. It is said that she is very beautiful, and she is currently twenty-four or five years old, so she should like to dress up, rouge gouache or something, it should be something she likes, in addition, some fun small objects, snacks or something, are all things that women like....... ”

Jia Min was analyzing it seriously, but Wei Ruolan was a little crooked in her heart.

Chief Min knows women so well, and it seems that he has a set of ways to deal with women, no wonder Miaoyu and Ping'er girls are so desperate to follow him. In the future, I will have to learn from Chief Min in this regard.

Distracted and distracted, serious things, Wei Ruolan still hasn't forgotten.

"Sir Min, when you say that, I have a plan in mind."

"Oh? Let's talk about it. ”

"Let's find a way to fish out a flower."

"Fishing tricks?"

"Yes, but in this matter, I have to trouble Chief Min to go to Miaoyu and Miss Ping'er."

"Me?"

"Yes, since Yizhihua likes poetry, Chief Min's poetry is the best in the world, can she not like it?"

Do you want to ask me to perform a beautiful man's trick? No, Ruolan is not such a person.

"Miaoyu and Ping'er brought rouge gouache, silks, preserved fruits, fruits, jewelry and so on from the imperial capital, there are also a lot, all of them are the latest styles, if you see a flower, I am afraid you will like it."

"yes, that's a great plan, okay, I'll go for it."

Just do it, Jia Min went to find Miaoyu and Ping'er.

Jia Min said what he wanted, and several people stared at Jia Min with a strange look.

"What do you want these things for?"

Miaoyu asked bluntly.

"Naturally, it's useful, anyway, it's not for a certain woman."

"These things are all women's things, not for women, so what's the use of you coming?"

Miaoyu still doesn't give up, she just has such a straightforward temperament, or a stinky temper, what comes to mind, she has to say.

"This, uh, we're working on a case, and we need to take these things to lure the enemy into falling for them. It's not for someone else. Besides, I just arrived here, and I don't know any other woman, so who can I give it to? ”

"Besides, there are only a few of you who are the most beautiful women in the whole Bukui, if you want to give it to you, will you give it to others?"

This trick worked, Ping'er took out some rouge gouache first, and Qingwen took out three locks. Seeing that both of them had taken it, Miaoyu also took out a hairpin and a box of preserved fruits.

These things, Miaoyu's lies in a "fine" word, and Ping'er's lies in a "new" word. Qingwen's lies in the word "strange". For any woman, it is attractive.

With the help of pen and paper here, Jia Min wrote two more poems, one is "Poppy Beauty" and the other is "Midnight Song".

Miaoyu's supplies have always been high-quality routes, so her paper is also very exquisite rice paper, with these two words, for a flower who likes poetry, it is absolutely lethal.

"There's a money-making business, do you do it?"

Jia Min talked about making sake.

"Whoever likes to do it, I don't do it, vulgar."

Miaoyu was the first to quit.

What's so vulgar about making money? Alas, forget it, just this stinky temper, let her go.

"Then I'll do it, Qingwen, will you do it? If you do, we'll be in partnership. ”

Ping'er took over the business.

"I'm doing it, it's such a good business, everything is ready-made, and I'm short of money, so I'm naturally willing to do it."

"Sister Qingwen, what about the two of us?"

It was magpies and thrushes who spoke.

"In this way, I will count it as one share, and the three of you will count it as one share, and I will give you the capital first, and when you make money, you will return the capital to me."

Ping'er's solution was unanimously approved.

Ping'er has the largest shares in the supermarket in the imperial capital, and now she is a little rich woman. When it comes to talking, he is naturally confident.

"Miaoyu, don't you want to do something to make money?"

Jia Min is still not giving up, now that Bu Kui is in ruins, there are many opportunities to make money, he still wants to provide Miaoyu with a way to make money.

"You're so good at making money, what else do you want me to make?"

Miaoyu said it was right, as if it were justified.

What is the rationale for this? Okay, I earn it, I earn it. Even if I owe you in my previous life. I owe not only you, but also the big-faced cat Baoyu, the old lady, Jiafu, the emperor, and Bu Kui's .......

I crossed over here to pay off my debts.

Jia Min knew that Miaoyu was like this, so he wasn't angry with her in his heart. However, all the things Miaoyu uses are high-quality products, and she doesn't seem to care about spending money. That's a little weird.

In the past, Jia Minjue's Miaoyu seemed to be more embarrassed in terms of money, so she also helped her earn a sum of money in the gambling game of Liansheng Casino. Now, Jia Min is a little skeptical that Miaoyu still has a small secret vault of her own.

Miaoyu is also the daughter of an official eunuch, and her family background was also relatively prominent in the past, so it is not strange for the family to leave her a sum of money.
