On the highest wall of Phuket City, Luo Lan stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes staring at the sea to the east, and he could see many large ships on the horizon.

It was the big ship of the second prince's territory, Bishui Bay.

Blue Water Bay separates the mainland from Phuket Island, and although the two are only a dozen nautical miles apart, they form a very different situation.

One side is rich and the other is poor, and the other side is prosperous and the other side is down.

"There are so many merchant ships in the north, if these merchant ships don't go to Bishui Bay, but go to the West Coast Special Economic Zone, then I will really make a fortune."

Luo Lan muttered to herself, very envious of the prosperity of Bishui Bay.

"Luo Lan, Elle said you were going to land?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him, it was Miss Bina from the church who had come as promised.

Luo Lan looked back and smiled, "Yes, my second brother seems to be having a birthday, I have to go and celebrate."

"What the hell are you going to do? I want to know. ”

Bina is so smart, she won't be fooled by Luo Lan. Luo Lan shrugged and pointed to the bustling Bishui Bay, "Pull a little merchant ship to our west coast, otherwise the west coast will never be able to develop, and more than 5,000 people are waiting for dinner."

Luo Lan was anxious in her heart.

He used the policy of large-scale development of the western region to solve the financial crisis, but he faced an extremely difficult situation in his subsequent development, and if he could not pull the special economic zones together, the large-scale development of the western region would come to an end without a hitch.

Bina understood as soon as she heard it, and she hesitated: "I understand what you mean, but this matter is very difficult, and all aspects must be dealt with, so it is better to wait for Gandalf to come back and study it carefully before going to land." ”

"Don't wait for Gandalf, he's too busy, I'll have you."

With a smile in Luo Lan's eyes, Bina was stunned and couldn't help but look away, "What does it have to do with me......"

"Of course, you are the great nun of the church, if you go with me this time, things will be much easier."

Hearing Luo Lan say this, Bina immediately rolled her eyes, "It turns out that you want to use me again, I found that you really don't have any gentlemanly demeanor."

Bina wasn't angry, she just buried two sentences.

Luo Lan laughed, he knew that Bina had agreed.

The matter of going to land to pull investment was finalized, but Luo Lan was not in a hurry to go, he first asked the officials of the palace to collect the information of the second prince's territory, especially Bishuiwan, he wanted to know who the lord of Bishuiwan was and what his temperament was.

It takes time to gather this intelligence, and Luo Lan can't be in a hurry.

So he had to go to the West Coast first to see how the displaced people were going, and he thought they might cause trouble.

This time Bena is going to go with her, and she wants to see Rick.

But Luo Lan smiled bitterly, "Miss Bina, your carriage is too slow, I'll go first, you go to the West Coast slowly, I'll let the guards escort you."

Luo Lan was kind, but Bina refused on the spot, and she said righteously: "I can just ride a horse like you, how hypocritical do you think I am?" ”

So, a man and a woman each rode a horse to the west coast.

The inhabitants of the city were dumbfounded, for no one had ever seen a nun riding a horse, and in general, nuns were mysterious and holy, and it was quite rare to ride a horse in such a heroic manner.

Bina was embarrassed, her face was a little red after leaving Phuket City, and everyone was "pointing fingers" at her.

Luo Lan smiled secretly, it is very rare for women to ride horses in this world, let alone nuns riding horses, which can even be associated with "not keeping women's ways".

So Bina was willing to ride a horse, but she was very determined.

It's a pity that her determination is useless, because her riding skills are so bad. Previously, Luo Lan and Gandalf could return to Phuket City from the West Coast in half a day, but now he and Bina have not reached the West Coast after a day's walk.

At night, you have to camp and rest, because ...... Bina's butt hurts.

Luo Lan couldn't cry or laugh, while Bina blushed and lowered her head to nibble on dry food, embarrassed to say anything.

The atmosphere in this barren mountain is still a little awkward.

So Luo Lan looked for something and said, "Bina, what do you think of the current situation on the West Coast?" ”

"Huh? Isn't it great? Everyone is willing to buy land, and those who have horses should go to the West Coast first, and we can see a lot of migrants from passers-by. ”

Bina is very optimistic, "And your agreement with them is that you won't make money in three years and then pay compensation, and it's only now that you start, and everyone won't make trouble."

Bina was still naïve.

Luo Lan threw the stick into the fire, and sighed softly in the crackling sound of the stick: "Of course these are no problem, I'm mainly worried about the people's acceptance of Rick. ”

Five thousand people, if they go to the West Coast mines, they will surely find that Rick is an alchemist.

Despite the peace of the South, the alchemist's reputation is still bad, and it would be a big problem for the populace to ostracize Rick.

In Luo Lan's view, it is very difficult to get the people to accept alchemists as much as an emancipation of the mind.

Bina's slender eyelashes flickered, and she understood Luo Lan's worries.

"So what are you going to do? Rick can't hide the matter of an alchemist, and he also alchemy in the open air, and he can't hide it. ”

Bina's face became solemn, and Luo Lan grabbed a burning wooden pole and stared at the flames jumping on it.

"I need time, as long as the effect of the wheat is played, the people's rejection of Rick will gradually disappear, but now I am most short of time, so I can only come hard."

Luo Lan plunged the wooden pole into the dirt, and the flame at the top was immediately extinguished.

"If the nuns of the Church were to declare that Mr. Rick was not studying alchemy, the people would have accepted it easily."

Luo Lan's words startled Bina and made Bina fall into deep thought.

After a long time, Bina raised her head, "You're using me again, no wonder you're willing to bring me, you've been thinking about this for a long time."

Bina's expression was so silent that it was impossible to see her thoughts.

Luo Lan sat on the ground and gnawed on the dried meat, a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, "You must think that I am forcing you, but in fact I am not, if I force you, I will let you tell everyone that alchemy is harmless, so that my interests will be maximized, and you will face great risks, and you will even be captured and burned to death by the church."

"You're just forcing me, what's the difference between me lying and saying 'wheat is not alchemy' and saying 'alchemy is harmless'?"

Bina turned around and clenched her little hand tightly, and the anger in her heart was palpable.

Luo Lan moved over and squeezed together with Bina, but Bina moved away, she didn't want to squeeze with Luo Lan.

Luo Lan didn't move, got up and made a noble ceremony, "Honorable Miss Bina, I know you understand what I mean, I have indeed embarrassed you." But we have a way back, because wheat is useful, and at the moment we just need to stabilize people's minds so that everyone does not reject Rick, and when the role of wheat becomes prominent, all problems will be solved."

Bina still turned her back to Luo Lan, and she said sullenly: "You are always like this, you use me without saying a word, can't you explain it in advance?" I hate you like that. ”

Luo Lan scratched his head, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

"Do you agree? We're full of food and drink, can we continue on our way? ”

Luo Lan looked innocent and harmless to humans and animals.

Bina turned her head and glared at him, then jumped on her horse: "Yes! ”

After a night of travel, when the sky was slightly bright, the sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the mining area.

In a huge mining area, where fires are everywhere and the smell of coal fills the air, almost every mine is inhabited and many people sleep on the ground, and the officials here have allocated land to the people as much as possible.

However, at present, these people are like beggars, staying in the mining area without a clue, and after buying the land in a good location, they don't know what to do.

The sound of horses' hooves woke up a lot of people, and then they exclaimed: "The prince and nun are here!" ”

In the exclamation, most of the people woke up and gathered around.

Many people asked Luo Lan about the land, but more people still asked about Rick.

These wealthy populaces are outspoken.

"Your Highness, is Rick an alchemist? Why does he have all those weird instruments? ”

"He told us to burn the black stone, the black stone is the devil's stone, our souls will be eroded!"

"What are we going to do? There is nothing here, only alchemists are alchemist, it's terrible! ”

There was concern in the words of the people, and there was fear in the air, and people not only rejected the alchemist, but also feared the alchemist.

Luo Lan looked back at Bina, only to find that Bina was gone.

Following the gaze of the people, Luo Lan noticed that Bina was talking to Rick.

Rick also woke up, standing next to some boiler-like utensils, excitedly talking to Bina about his wheat.

And the people in the vicinity are far away, as if they are afraid of being polluted by Rick's alchemy.

The scene gradually fell silent, and everyone watched in amazement as the nun talked to the alchemist, their faces full of consternation.

Because it is an incredible picture, the nuns of the church are talking and talking to the alchemist in a pleasant way, like relatives and friends.

Everyone looked at each other, and Luo Lan breathed a sigh of relief and stabilized.
