……

Li Yuanba frowned, like an ant on a hot pot, and spun around in place, suddenly, his face changed, and he said fiercely:

"By the way, how did you forget this stubble! As the saying goes, 100 smelts into steel, in the past, the hardware facilities were not enough, but now that Lao Tzu has discovered this coal mine, it seems that it is not difficult to smelt steel! ”

Touching his chin, Li Yuanba turned his head to look at Li Chengqian, and asked a little stupidly: "Chengqian, does Taiyuan belong to Hedong Road?" ”

Li Chengqian didn't understand that his fourth uncle would ask such a question, but he still nodded.

Li Yuanba's right hand clenched into a fist, slapped it on the palm of his left hand, and said secretly:

"That's it! Hedong Road is mostly the boundary of Shanxi in later generations. This Taiyuan is located in Shanxi Province, rich in coal reserves, and the rest such as sulfur, saltpeter, refractory clay or something, is also a huge reserve! If all the ownerless mineral lands in Taiyuan and even Shanxi Province are classified as exclusive to the imperial court, they will not be bought and sold, and then they will secretly buy land from the hands of those great families...... When the time comes, all kinds of minerals will be mined, hehe......"

Thinking of this, Li Yuanba was excited, and couldn't help but shout: "Okay, do it. His mother's ......"

“……”

Everyone looked at Li Yuanba a little speechlessly, and said in their hearts, what is this doing? Don't talk to yourself, and scold your mother after ∴□!

"Okay, you two will take care of this matter first, then the other courtyard will be put aside first, and this king will handle it personally!" Li Yuanba laughed, and somehow, that smile seemed to be very silvery.

"Lord Wang, what are you going to ......" Qiao Liang didn't understand what Li Yuanba meant, but he did hear the killing intent from Li Yuanba's words, and couldn't help but make a head cutting action with his hands.

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Li Yuanba's smile changed, and it became a little cold. "Didn't their Wang family deliberately jump out to disgust this king? At that time, the king asked him Wang Hao to cry and shout and kneel in front of the king, begging the king to accept the mountain in his hand! ”

"This ......"

Whether it was Li Chengqian and the others, or Ke Zhenbai and Qiao Liang who were present, they were all skeptical.

Seeing the faces full of disbelief on everyone's faces, Li Yuanba didn't bother to explain, anyway, as long as the Shenji Mansion put out the 'steel' at that time, everyone would be dumbfounded.

No matter how good you say, it is far from the truth!

……

At the same time, in a certain mansion in Chang'an City, a group of people gathered to discuss things.

Although the main sphere of influence of the five surnames and seven wangs is not Chang'an City, this Chang'an City is at the feet of the Son of Heaven after all. The economic and cultural center of the entire Tang Dynasty is a mansion in Chang'an City with five surnames and seven wangs, and there are two or three family core figures stationed for a long time.

In the main hall of the Wang family's mansion in Chang'an City, there was a middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old sitting on the main seat, and there were three middle-aged people sitting beside him, and the rest were some young people in their twenties and thirties.

Different from the dull atmosphere of Li Yuanba and the others, the atmosphere of this group of people in the hall was extremely joyful, and even everyone had a smile on their faces.

"Hahaha. This time it was so relieving! There is news from Taiyuan, the clan is very satisfied with this decision, it is good to be able to disgust the arrogant martial king at this time! ”

A young man in fancy costume standing at the bottom of the left side smiled the most.

It's just that the young man's face is a little pale. It's like he's just getting back from a serious illness. If Li Yuanba was here, he would definitely recognize that this young man was Wang Zihao, who gambled with him last time and failed miserably.

A middle-aged man sitting next to the main seat heard Wang Zihao's words. said with a light smile: "Zihao, I really want to thank you this time!" If it weren't for you, we'd have forgotten about it. On the side of Nali Mountain, there is even a family iron mine. Last time, King Nawu deceived my Wang family too much, and this time he can say anything like this! ”

This middle-aged man's name is Wang Yuan, he is the brother of the head of the family, Wang Hao, and basically wears the same pants as Wang Hao in the clan.

"However, will this force the Martial King to send troops directly, I heard that the Martial King nineteen years ago was a little devil, and he was reckless in doing anything! I'm afraid ......"

At this moment, a young man who had always stood at the very edge of the hall, wearing a light blue robe, said with some hesitation.

"Hmph, Wang Jun, don't raise the morale of others to destroy your own prestige!"

A young man in his thirties standing beside Wang Yuan looked at the young man who had just spoken and said, "What is there to be afraid of?" Although he is the prince, but our Taiyuan Wang family is not an ordinary cat and dog, this matter is our reason, a prince to build a mansion, you have to forcibly occupy my Wang family's land, what is the reason? ”

"Second cousin, you know, I didn't mean that!"

Wang Jun's face turned red, and he wanted to plead a few sentences, but in the end he had no choice but to give up.

Although he has the name of a son of the Wang family, his status in the clan is very low, if it weren't for Wang Jun's grandfather who had made great contributions to the Wang family, I am afraid that he would have been expelled from the Wang family a long time ago.

"Wang Jun, there's nothing to do with you here, you can leave!"

At this moment, the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Wang Jun, and said lightly.

This middle-aged man's name is Wang Tianhe, and he is a cousin with Wang Hao, the head of the family, but his status in the clan is different from Wang Yuan's, this Wang Tianhe is a member of the Taiyuan Wang Clan Elders' Association, and his status is far higher than Wang Yuan.

Hearing Wang Tianhe's words, Wang Jun's face became extremely defeated in an instant, it seems that after this time, the Taiyuan Wang clan, the Wang clan in Chang'an City, there is no longer Wang Jun's seat.

His parents died early, and Wang Jun, who was alone, took a deep look at everyone in this hall, and finally stayed on Wang Tianhe's body.

He bowed abruptly, then turned away, saying nothing.

……

The location in the north of Zhiyang County is where Li Yuanba's Wuwang Mansion is located.

At this moment, hundreds of people are working on this piece of land with an area of thousands of square meters, and not far away, there are mountains of sand and gravel, and the thick logs have been planed and stacked up to a height of five or six meters.

The sound of striking iron, the shouting of the ground and the trumpet of carrying things are intertwined in this vast land into a symphony with a rather noisy effect, and the sound is so unpleasant that your ears will explode.

When Li Yuanba led a group of bear children here, it was already three poles in the sun.

The head of the royal army guarding this place, as well as the foreman of the craftsmen who managed these labors, saw a group of gorgeously dressed people walking towards the construction site from a distance, and immediately became a little puzzled.

"Alas, General Zhang, what are these people doing?"

The foreman was a middle-aged man in his early forties, dressed in coarse cloth and covered in dust, and it was impossible to tell his age if you didn't look closely. (To be continued......)
