After establishing a base overseas, if you want to be self-sufficient and build a modern armed force, you must first have enough raw materials to support, otherwise it will be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice - those that are easy to transport and in small demand can also be purchased from the territory of Daming, but metal minerals and the like can only be mined nearby. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, in modern times, Wu Kai didn't even remember the distribution of mineral deposits in his own country, let alone overseas mineral deposits?

Therefore, he is ready to first get in touch with a few geological exploration experts from the Salt and Iron Division, and then let them find out the resource reserves before deciding where to settle.

However, after reading the pamphlet transcribed by Qin Hui, it is not difficult to find that the Great Song Dynasty court rarely takes the initiative to find and explore mineral deposits, and only after someone in a certain place discovers the same ore many times, will people be sent over to explore and verify.

Therefore, the huge Salt and Iron Division, which supervised the mining and exploration of all mineral deposits in the Great Song Dynasty, only had more than 40 exploration experts, and there might be a master of indiscriminate accumulation, which was really speechless.

Of course, there must be people who are capable in this area, but Wu Kai doesn't have time to search for them one by one, so he can only choose from these dozens of people first.

Looking at Qin Hui's appearance, it is estimated that the method of opening up the reform from the inside will not work, so he can only try to win over a few corrupt people.

Thinking of this, Wu Kai threw the roster on the table, strode out of the study, called the red scarf guards stationed outside the courtyard gate, and ordered: "Go and give me the time...... Uh, go and call Fahai for me, and if this guy gets drunk again, wake him up for me! ”

Originally, he wanted to tell Shi Qian to do this, but he immediately thought that Shi Qian was now burdened with a heavy burden, and he was afraid that he would not have the time to deal with this matter - besides, if Shi Qian would win over corrupt court officials, he would not have been a gentleman of Liang for more than ten years, and he did not succeed in clearing his name until he met him.

So Wu Kai decided to hand over this matter to Fahai, this guy spends all day drinking, but if he can learn a trick and a half, it is enough to deal with those little officials.

Sure enough, as Wu Kai expected, when Fahai came to the study slowly, he was full of alcohol, but fortunately his consciousness was still sober, and as soon as he entered the door, he bowed down honestly and said, "Master, you asked people to call the apprentices over, but what are your orders?" ”

"How dare I command you now?" Wu Kai said compassionately: "Now you are a Buddha of ten thousand families, and your reputation is much stronger than that of me, a 'demon monk'." ”

Fahai was frightened by this tone, and immediately sobered up a little, and hurriedly knelt down and grabbed his head and said, "Master! I have a piece of loyalty to you, but don't listen to the nonsense of outsiders and misunderstand the brave loyalty of the disciples! ”

Although his reputation is better than Wu Kai's, in terms of influence in the government and the opposition, Fahai can't catch up with Wu Kai, and his 'magic weapon' used to deliver babies is still rewarded by Wu Kai - since he can be rewarded, he can also pass it on to others!

If Wu Kai is really displeased and reveals the secret of the forceps, he, the 'Buddha of Ten Thousand Families', will immediately fall to the dust.

Therefore, although Fahai is happy outside and has made friends with countless dignitaries, he will never dare to 'betray his master'.

"Misunderstanding?"

Wu Kaipi picked the corners of his mouth with a smile, and said: "Okay, let's take it as a misunderstanding for the time being-I called you over, I have a good errand to be handed over to you, don't you like to eat, drink and have fun?" ”

As he spoke, Wu Kai picked up the roster from the table, threw it in front of Fahai casually, and said: "The people on this roster, don't worry about those over forty years old, all the officials under the age of forty, you can contact them one by one, and choose the ones that are easy to win over and recruit a few for me." ”

Fahai picked up the list, looked at it carefully, and saw that the officials included in it were all officials of the Salt and Iron Division who were good at exploring mineral deposits, so he was abrupt in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh and said: "Master, according to the laws of the imperial court, salt and iron are all official camps, and private mining is a serious crime." ”

Wu Kai sneered and said, "What, are you going to the government to expose and report me?" ”

"No, no, no!"

Fahai hurriedly stretched out his hand and slapped him in the face, and said with a shy fat face: "Look at my stupid mouth!" What the futile means is that since the illegal mining of minerals is a big crime, should we find some excuse to fool those people in the Salt and Iron Division? ”

"No need, if someone really asks you, you can tell them directly, you have found a few suspected mineral deposits in your hometown in Shandong, so I want to ask them to explore and deal with them, so that they can dig in private." Wu Kai said indifferently: "I want to see who dares to come to the door for this." ”

Although mining minerals without permission is a big crime, but what kind of person is it scored, like Wu Kai's level, as long as it does not completely anger Song Huizong, ordinary crimes are nothing at all - besides, Wu Kai does not really plan to open mines in Shandong, if someone really wants to sue the emperor, it is a big deal to push three or six five, anyway, it has not yet formed an established fact.

Seeing that Wu Kai had said this, Fahai didn't dare to talk about it anymore, so he hurriedly patted his chest that was a little fuller than a woman and said: "Since this is the case, then Master, you can take a look, and I promise to get someone for you!" ”

"That's good, I'll leave this matter to you."

Wu Kai stood up and stretched, and said as he walked out: "If it's not early today, you can go back to sleep quickly." ”

Fahai got up from the ground, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and was about to send Wu Kai off, when he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly chased after him and shouted: "Master, master!" There is one thing that I don't know whether to talk about or not. ”

Now that it's all been said, what else should I not say?

Wu Kai glanced at him and scolded impatiently: "What's ink, say whatever you want to say!" ”

"This ......"

Fahai said hesitantly: "Actually, it's about the little junior brother, he has been making a little trouble recently, and when he went to the banquet, I heard many people mention ......"

"Wait!" Wu Kai was puzzled: "What little junior brother?" ”

"It's that Gao Yanei!" Fahai hurriedly said: "Didn't you accept him as a registered disciple at the beginning?" I heard that he recently took advantage of the prevailing wind of spring outing, ambushed in the suburbs, and robbed the daughters of more than a dozen wealthy businessmen, and now the Dengwen drum in front of the Kaifeng Mansion has been broken several times by the accused! But if someone wants to come forward to teach him a lesson, then Gao Yanai will use your name to prevent disasters, and I don't know how much infamy I have brought to you these days! ”

Depend on~

Wu Kai couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, this damn Gao Yanei was really endless.

Last time, he provoked Qin Hui and his wife under the banner of Wu Kai, Wu Kai didn't care much about him for the sake of Gao Yu's face, who knew that this guy had become even worse - although Wu Kai didn't care about his reputation, he was never willing to take the blame for others!

Looks like it's time to find a way to clean up this mess.
