078 Copper mines are depleted
Lin Fei was startled and hurriedly asked, "What happened?" ”
Ling Xue whispered: "I don't have time to say so much, hurry up and follow me, I have something important to tell you." ”
Although Lin Fei wanted to know what Ling Xue wanted to say to himself, he thought that he was now the emperor of the Huaxia Empire, and he was returning from an expedition, and in the face of so many welcoming people, how could he have to tell everyone about the results of the expedition, how could he leave without saying a word?
Lin Fei gently pushed Ling Xue's hand, Ling Xue's hand was very petite, and it was already very reluctant to grab Lin Fei's thick arm, but he slipped off his arm as soon as Lin Fei pushed it, Lin Fei said softly: "Xue'er, wait a minute, I'll say a few words to everyone before leaving." ”
Ling Xue let out an expressionless "oh" and walked a few steps into the crowd, Lin Fei turned around and smiled at everyone: "Everyone, please be quiet, I'll tell you about the results of our expedition now!" ”
Everyone quieted down, and Lin Fei said loudly: "In this battle, we have sunk six Spanish warships successively, and the threat of the Spanish Navy to us has been lifted, and we can attack Mindanao with confidence!" ”
Everyone cheered, and Lin Fei continued: "Let's all go back, our soldiers are already very tired, let them rest, and everyone will come back for the celebration banquet in the evening." ”
Everyone listened to Lin Fei's words and slowly dispersed, and the sailors also returned to the camp to rest, Lin Fei raised his eyes to look at the crowd, wanting to ask Ling Xue about things, but where was Ling Xue's shadow?
Lin Fei was very strange, thinking to himself where Xue'er had gone? What the hell is going on with her? Lin Fei was thinking about it, Chen Jingui suddenly walked over with a smile and said to Lin Fei: "City Lord, you can be counted back, I have been waiting for you so hard." ”
Lin Fei had no choice but to put down Ling Xue's matter first, and asked with a smile, "What are you waiting for me to do?" ”
Chen Jingui smiled: "Hurry up and come with me, I have something important for you to see." ”
Lin Fei thought to himself, today Ling Xue wants to sue me about something, Chen Jingui wants to show me something, what the hell is going on? Lin Fei agreed, followed Chen Jingui, and came to his residence in a short time, which was originally the residence of the Karakathu patriarch, and Lin Fei used this place as the office of himself and the main departments of the Huaxia Empire.
Lin Fei saw a group of craftsmen working inside and outside the mansion, with wood, masonry, and sand piled up on the ground, so he asked, "What are they doing?" ”
Chen Jingui said with a smile: "You are the emperor of the Chinese Empire, how can you do it without the palace?" They're repairing the palace for you! ”
Lin Fei's face changed when he heard this, and he said sharply: "Ridiculous! Who told you to do this? ”
Chen Jingui was startled and said in a trembling voice: "What? Are you unhappy? ”
Lin Fei said: "Didn't I say that various departments are not allowed to build new office space? ”
Chen Jingui asked tentatively: "The palace shouldn't be considered an office space, right?" ”
Lin Fei sighed lightly and said: "Lao Chen, you are also Chinese, you have been in business for many years, and you know a lot of official and business things. If I take the lead in building a palace and trying to enjoy it, the people below will definitely try their best to do these things, so I can't get these things, you know? ”
Chen Jingui nodded and said, "Then I'll let people take all these things away, okay?" ”
Lin Fei said "yes", entered the room, and said to Chen Jingui casually, "You go and help me call Ling Xue." ”
Chen Jingui agreed with a smile, turned around and left, brought Ling Xue back after a short time, and said to Lin Fei with a smile: "City Lord, I have already brought her, you can talk slowly." ”
After Chen Jingui finished speaking, he walked to the door, stretched out his hand at the door to close the door, Ling Xue turned around, and said coldly: "What are you doing when the door is closed in broad daylight?" ”
Chen Jingui heard that Ling Xue's tone was wrong, and couldn't help but be stunned, his hand that was closing the door stopped in mid-air, looked at Ling Xue, and then at Lin Fei, laughed a few times, turned around and left, Ling Xue turned around and walked to Lin Fei, bowed deeply, and said coldly: "Ling Xue participates in His Majesty the Emperor." ”
Lin Fei saw that there was no trace of a smile on Ling Xue's face, and remembered that she had been angry with herself because of her words, and his heart was beating slightly, not knowing where he offended her again this time.
Lin Fei stood up with a smile, moved a chair and put it beside her, and said with a smile: "Which big villain provoked my Miss Ling?" ”
Ling Xue ignored Lin Fei's jokes, didn't sit down, and said directly: "Our copper ore is about to be dug up!" ”
Lin Fei took a step back when he heard this, and said in surprise, "What did you say? ”
Ling Xue raised her voice and said, "Our copper ore is about to run out!" ”
Lin Fei only felt a "boom" in his head, the importance of copper ore is self-evident, the bullets and shells of the Chinese Empire must be made of copper, and the wires of the power industry will also be made of copper in the future, without copper ore, half of the Chinese Empire will die!
Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "How could it be dug up?" ”
Ling Xue said, "What's so strange? There is already little copper ore in the mountain, but recently it is making shells and bullets, so it is strange not to dig them up? ”
Lin Fei also calmed down and asked, "Did Master Guan find a new mineral source?" ”
Ling Xue said: "Master Guan said that there is a copper mine near Wuduan City in Mindanao. ”
Lin Fei smiled and said, "Wuduan City? How is it there? ”
Ling Xue asked, "What's wrong with Wuduan City?" ”
Lin Fei took out a map from the cabinet, this map was robbed by him from the plantation on Batan Island, Lin Fei spread out the map, spread it on the table, pointed to it and said: "Wuduan City is one of the three major strongholds of the Spaniards in Mindanao, the closest to the Surigao region, if I want to conquer Mindanao, the first thing I need to fight is Wuduan City!" ”
Ling Xue's expression darkened, and she said, "But Master Guan also said that there are many Spanish troops in Wuduan City, which are very powerful......
Lin Fei smiled: "Isn't it the Spanish army?" No matter how powerful it is, it can't be stronger than my army! I'll lead my troops over and destroy them. ”
Ling Xue showed a sadness on her face and said, "Why do you want to fight again?" What if you get hurt......" Ling Xue said as she suddenly turned her pretty face, turned her head and said to herself, "What does your injury have to do with me", and then turned around and left.
Lin Fei stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist, Ling Xue was pulled by Lin Fei to a halt, but she didn't shake her hand to break away from Lin Fei's hand, nor did she turn around to look at Lin Fei, Lin Fei asked with a smile, "Xue'er, why are you like this again?" Where have I offended you? ”
Ling Xue turned around, raised her head to look at Lin Fei, her pink lips moved twice, and then she said aggrievedly: "Today, you pushed my hand away in front of so many people, what will others think of me?" What a shame! ”
Lin Fei laughed out loud and said, "Are you angry because of this?" ”
Ling Xue raised her eyebrows and said, "You're still smiling!" ”
Lin Fei thought to himself that Ling Xue's careful thinking was really interesting, he was angry about such a trivial matter, no different from those girls in my time, more than a hundred years have passed, and they have not changed at all. Lin Fei laughed out loud when he thought about it, and Ling Xue said in a coquettish voice: "You made me lose face, you have to compensate me!" ”
Lin Fei smiled and asked, "How do you want me to compensate you?" ”
A trace of blush appeared on Ling Xue's jade cheeks, and she asked in a low voice, "Why can Sister Meixiang call you Lin Feijun?" Why don't other people call it that? ”
Lin Fei smiled: "That's her habit, others don't have this habit." ”
Ling Xue hurriedly said: "I also want to have a title for you, this title can only be called by me, and no one else can be called." ”
Lin Fei smiled again and said, "Okay, what do you want to call me?" ”
Ling Xue lowered her head and said softly, "I...... I want to call you 'Brother Castle Lord', but ...... May I? It's you who compensate me, you ...... Can't help but say yes. ”
Lin Fei smiled: "Of course you can, what's not to do?" That's what you'll call it from now on. ”
Ling Xue nodded, turned around and ran, Lin Fei looked at her back, a different kind of sweetness came to her heart, and at this moment, suddenly Chen Jingui's voice came from the door: "City Lord, can I come in?" ”
Lin Fei smiled: "Why are you here again?" Come in, what's the matter? ”
Chen Jingui stepped in and said with a smile: "What a natural stunner!" ”
Lin Fei didn't understand what Chen Jingui meant, and asked suspiciously: "Who are you talking about?" Cher? ”
Chen Jingui smiled and nodded, and Lin Fei smiled: "Xue'er is very beautiful, but it's not appropriate to describe it with the word 'natural stunner', right?" ”
Chen Jingui smiled: "Why is it inappropriate? I was halfway through when I remembered that I had work to report to you, so I came back, and when I came back, I heard you ask her why she was angry, and I heard all the words that followed, did you think of the deep meaning of her anger? ”
Lin Fei was confused and said, "Isn't it just the little girl's careful thoughts, what can be the meaning?" ”
Chen Jingui's face was full of evil smiles for a while, and said: "She deliberately found a little thing to get angry, and then asked you to coax her, you coaxed her a little and she was happy, this is to attract your attention in a different way, let you spoil her, this is all the way of stunners, I heard that there is a beautiful woman in Manila who is a thousand pesos a night, and she is the best at this, and those rich businessmen are all around her......"
Lin Fei heard Chen Jingui compare Ling Xue to a prostitute, so he hurriedly coughed lightly and said, "Okay, okay, let's talk about serious things, what do you want to report?" ”
Chen Jingui said: "It's still a matter of weapon production, according to your previous request, the factory suspended production after producing 1,500 automatic rifles and switched to the production of bullets and grenades, and now the arsenal has produced 3,000 rounds of ammunition for each rifle and 100 grenades for each soldier." ”
Lin Fei thought for a while and asked, "Can the various resource reserves keep up?" ”
Chen Jingui frowned and said, "There is plenty of saltpeter, and there is not much cotton left." ”
Lin Fei said: "Then let the production of nitrocellulose stop first, we are about to attack Mindanao, and lay down the cotton plantations on the island, and we will have sufficient nitrofibre raw materials." ”
