As soon as he entered the city, Lin Feng immediately looked for a breakfast shop, and the people who were already hungry did it themselves, snatching up the existing fritters, sugar cakes, soy milk, and porridge in the store.

After paying for the meal, Lin Feng told Chen Fei to send Yaya back to their residence, leaving two people to accompany Yaya to clean up a room, and the others continued to Sun Cuo's shop, and then, with a group of guards, rushed back to King Zheng's mansion.

Lin Feng rushed up the steps, hurriedly asked the janitor, and learned that King Zheng had gone to the palace to study, and the note had been handed to King Zheng, Lin Feng immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After letting the other guards disperse on duty, Lin Feng took Wei San to find the housekeeper Li Fu. Li Fuzheng commanded his subordinates to wipe the study, and when he saw Lin Feng, he immediately walked over and asked, "Mr. Lin, do you have any instructions?" ”

"Ha Lu Ha, don't dare to say orders. I usually bother Steward Li a lot, and I haven't made a special trip to thank him, so I'm really ashamed. Lin Feng arched his hand.

"Mr. Lin is too polite, Mr. Lin is really the dragon and phoenix among the people, sooner or later he will fly Huang Tengda, and it is Li Fu's blessing to be able to serve Mr. Lin." Li Fu hurriedly replied.

Lin Feng and Li Fuhan quarreled a few words, during which they inadvertently asked about Li Fu's family, and after learning that he was only a little girl, Lin Feng understood in his heart that it was not other subordinates of Zheng Wangfu who played prestige in the name of Li Fu, or other outsiders who were pulling the tiger skin of Zheng Wangfu as a banner, so they had to put this matter aside for the time being. Lin Feng immediately turned the topic to business: "Steward Li, His Royal Highness King Zheng is dedicated to the Buddha and intends to find a quiet place as a hidden house, I am going to take Wei San out of Lu today to find out, can I arrange a carriage for Lin." ”

"Mr. Lin instructed, Li Fu will definitely do it." Li Fu immediately went to make arrangements.

Preparing some dry food that was convenient to carry, Lin Feng took Wei San to Sun Cuo's shop first, dragged Sun Cuo, who was busy, into the carriage, took a few small magnets from the shop and threw them into the car, and the group turned around and walked in the northwest direction.

"Mr. Lin, the stove will be ready soon, and the fire will be lit to test it, but you want me to go out at this time." Sun Cuo complained.

"Let Brother Sun come out, there must be something more important. By the way, let me introduce you first, this is Wei Wuji, my martial arts master. Lin Feng didn't answer, but introduced Wei Sanlai.

"Ha Luha, it's not a master's, I'm an ordinary guard of King Zheng's Mansion who is following Mr. Lin, just call me Wei San by Brother Sun." Wei San said grinningly.

Sun Cuo introduced himself and immediately turned to Lin Feng again.

"Brother Sun, let me ask you first, where did the iron and coal you used to fight your sword come from?" Lin Feng asked rhetorically.

"Coal is bought from a coal market on the Yangtze River, and iron is mainly collected from scrap iron, and occasionally iron ore or rough iron is bought from the coal market. Iron was mainly controlled by the government. Sun Cuo said.

This is true, since ancient times, salt and iron have been strategic resources, and the struggle between official control and civil control is often related to the rise and fall of a dynasty. Historically, it was precisely because the Southern Tang Dynasty lost the salt producing area of Huainan in the war with the Later Zhou Dynasty that the situation deteriorated.

"Then do you know where the coal and iron come from?" Lin Feng continued to ask.

"I talked to people in the coal market, and the coal is mainly transported from Xuzhou, which is the envoy of the Wuning Jiedu, and the iron is available in Ma'anshan in our Datang Dynasty." Sun Cuo recalled.

Oh, Xuzhou should be the Xuzhou of later generations, and Ma'anshan should be the Ma'anshan City of later generations. Lin Feng stopped asking questions and began to fall into deep thought.

The best business is one that controls the entire production chain. Like Sun Cuo's shop, the sword can only be regarded as the middle of the industrial chain at most, and how can the coal and iron resources around it be controlled by the coal and iron business on it. In Lin Feng's memory, Jiangsu Province itself is rich in resources, and there are Meishan and Jishan iron mines around Nanjing in later generations. Considering that Meishan is located in the west of Jinling City, and Ma'anshan City is further west, Lin Feng set the destination of this trip as Meishan.

At this moment, Li Yu, the hermit of Zhongshan, is about to become a hermit of Meishan, Lin Feng shook his head and smiled, and began to chat with Wei San and Sun Cuo.

"I'm exhausted." Lin Feng and the others had already walked along the continuous mountain tops, successively on several hills, and they did not find the valley he wanted, Sun Cuo sat on the ground and did not move.

Lin Feng smiled, although this Brother Sun has good physical muscles, it seems that he is not good at climbing mountains.

At this time, Wei San, who was not a human, pointed to a valley on the right hand side and said; "There were some headless trees there, and I saw a white glow in the deepest part of the valley, probably a waterfall."

Lin Feng grabbed Sun Cuo: "Let's go, go there again and have a look, and start eating lunch." ”

The three of them dragged them down the hill and down to the bottom of the valley. The valley is gourd-shaped, with a small but spacious gourd in front of it, a leafy valley floor, a babbling river in the middle, and a blooming locust flower all over the hillside.

The three of them walked along the small river all the way to the bottom of the valley, and found that the gourd behind them was very spacious, and the most spacious part was about 600 meters. The headless tree was located on the left side of the back half of the gourd, Lin Feng threw the magnet that he had been carrying with him after getting off the car under the tree, and sure enough, there were several magnets that were tightly attached to the ground, and this was where the iron mine was located.

Lin Feng was overjoyed, this valley was exactly what he was looking for. Li Yu's hidden house can be built in the front to cover up, the first half of the gourd in the back can be used as a concealed training base for the special combat team, and the second half can be used as a place for Sun Cuo to smelt iron knife soldiers, killing three birds with one stone.

The three of them walked to the deepest part of the valley, and sure enough, there was a large waterfall with a drop of about seven meters. The three of them sat on the edge of the pool at the bottom of the waterfall and ate their dry food, jumped into the water and took a bath in the cold and clear water, and then walked out.

Walking out of the narrow and hidden valley mouth, Wei San was pleasantly surprised to find that their car was parked at the foot of a hill far away on the right-hand side.

Rushing all the way back to King Zheng's Mansion in Jinling City, Lin Feng was immediately led to the study by the subordinates waiting at the door.

"Mr. Lin, thank you for the note. As soon as I arrived at the palace this morning, my fifth brother rushed to the academy and was critical of me and Congqian, and I remembered the note you wrote, saying that in order to show my devotion to the Buddha, I was looking for a place to build a retreat in Meishan. My fifth brother had to leave in a huff. As soon as Li Yu saw Lin Feng, he immediately came over and told him what had happened.

This is inevitable, an ambitious prince of the East Palace like Li Hongji, for the throne that he thinks is already in the bag, he will naturally guard against the sixth Li Yu, who has a certain threat. Needless to say, he Hongji must have planted spies around the emperor and Li Yu, and he got the news that he and Li Yu met Li Jing last night.

"It's good that there's nothing wrong with it. Your Highness, I have two things to report to you. One, I have found a good location for you to build a hermitage in Meishan today, and you need to allocate funds for construction, and at the same time, the valley there is also ready to be built into a base for the special training of the guards. Lin Feng secretly hid his hand, and he wasn't going to say anything about the iron ore first.

"Okay, no problem, I'll let Li Fu arrange it right away. What about the second thing? Li Yu said happily.

"First of all, may I ask Your Highness, how much does King Zheng's Mansion use every year?" Lin Feng asked back.

"At least 20,000 yuan, anyway, if I don't have any money, I'll go and pester my father and the emperor." Li Yu said grinningly.

"I've prepared a business plan that I can make sure I don't lose money." Lin Feng smiled.

"How much money do I need to invest? I vaguely remember that I have squandered a lot of money in my family this year, and it must have cost a lot to build a hidden house and a training base. Li Yu said a little embarrassed, in fact, Li Yu also hid a hand for Lin Feng, he was called to the dormitory by his mother Zhong in the morning, asked him in detail about his recent situation, and after some advice, he gave him a lot of property. Out of the protection of his right to play, he didn't say anything about it.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, my business plan, without His Highness to issue a treasure, can make King Zheng's Mansion earn at least two thousand yuan a year." Lin Feng said mysteriously.
