Luo Lan returned to his fiefdom in the evening.

As soon as the boat docked, nearby workers rushed to greet them, and the farmers who had been waiting for a long time offered wheat bales and even roast chicken.

These foods are not worth mentioning in Nam Haron, but they are rare and delicious in Phuket.

Luo Lan naturally would not refuse, he feasted and saw the farmers laugh happily.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, eat more, every family has surplus food this year, and you can't eat poorly!"

"The autumn wheat seedlings are growing well, and your ridge tillage is amazing, as well as Mr. Rick's wheat. The fields of Uttar Pradesh have changed dramatically! ”

"Next year will be a good year!"

The peasants were so excited that they had been waiting here for days, and when they saw the prince, they would not leave easily. Luo Lan was about to die, and laughed: "Okay, okay, let's go home, if it goes well, I will give everyone an iron hoe in the spring." ”

As soon as these words came out, the peasants were even more excited.

They had already heard that Prince Luo Lan had vowed to give the peasants iron tools, but he did not issue a formal decree, and to meet the arable land needs of every household, at least 50,000 iron tools were needed, which was not a small amount, where did the prince have the money to buy them?

But no one questioned it, and the crowd just shouted feverishly to the prince.

By the time everyone left, it was already dark.

Luo Lan touched her round belly and walked to the palace, and before she stepped in, Ellie, who had not been seen for a long time, ran over.

The youthful and beautiful Ellie has calmed down a lot, and she has also learned a lot these days as the ambassador of Phuket City and the commander-in-chief of the Maokeng movement.

"You can be counted as back, you are really dead, you dare to run to Nanyuan Ling, the second prince didn't kill you, you are lucky."

Ellie scolded, as a student who had studied at the Sea Spirit Noble Academy, she still knew something about the throne of the Sea Spirit Kingdom.

So I heard that Luo Lan ran to Nanyuan Lingla to invest in Nanyuan with Bina alone, but she was very scared.

Luo Lan smiled, "Don't worry, my second brother won't tear his face with me now, my father is still the king, he can control the Sea Spirit Kingdom."

In fact, Luo Lan was also entangled for a long time before going to land.

His fiefdom was poor, but it had improved, and the peasants' food and clothing were temporarily solved, while the reform of farming technology and the use of Jinkela and the discovery of coal made Phuket a tiger with wings.

The large-scale development of the western region has also resolved the financial crisis, which is enough for Phuket Island to survive until next spring's harvest.

Luo Lan was thinking about whether to stay up until spring at the beginning, and then use government regulation to carry out a planned economy around the peasants.

It was actually more appropriate to do this steadily, but Luo Lan still gave up, he didn't want to survive the long autumn and winter, and there was too much to do in these two quarters, so the special economic zone came into being.

It turned out that Luo Lan went right, the second prince did not move him, and he himself pulled a fleet.

In Ellie's complaint, Luo Lan touched her little head, and then couldn't help but excitedly say, "What about the little girl?" The little girl that Bina brought back. ”

If there is anything that Luo Lan is most concerned about now, it is undoubtedly Daisy.

If she guessed correctly, Daisy is a gunpowder expert.

"She can't stay, she's always running around, and I don't know where she is."

Ai Li shook her head helplessly, Luo Lan was a little surprised, "That little guy looks quite shy, how can he like to run around, I'll go find her."

Luo Lan turned around and walked out of the palace, and didn't listen to Ai Li's report on the Maokeng movement.

Next to a low old stone house, Luo Lan met Daisy.

The little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old was holding a torch and stooping through the corner, searching the ground with great concentration.

She carried a burlap bag, and from time to time picked up some stones from the ground and put them in the bag, and the whole person was highly nervous, like a thief.

But who is a thief who picks up stones?

Ordinary people must not be able to understand it, but Luo Lan had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he remembered the ancient saltpeter that his high school chemistry teacher had talked about.

Saltpeter is one of the raw materials for the manufacture of black powder, and its chemical composition is potassium nitrate. Saltpeter in nature is often formed by the decomposition of nitrogen-containing organic matter in the soil under the action of bacteria, oxidized into nitric acid, and then combined with potassium in the soil.

This was a bit difficult to understand, and Luo Lan was also confused at the time, but he still remembered that the teacher said that these chemical reactions usually occur in the crisp autumn season, especially in the corners of the pigsty, stables, and toilets.

In short, saltpeter can be found in everyday life, and it is usually precipitated in the form of a crust or salt flower, covering the ground and the foot of the wall, which is called ground frost.

Daisy was sneaking around at the foot of the wall to pick up rocks, probably just saltpeter.

This originally filthy ruined city should have a lot of saltpeter.

Luo Lan walked over lightly, and he saw Daisy walking to a stable, which, of course, was already scrapped.

Daisy lit the ground with torches and nervously and excitedly picked up specific small stones.

Luo Lan looked at it for a while, and suddenly coughed.

Daisy screamed in fright and nearly lost her torches. She hid the cloth bag behind her and looked at Luo Lan with a blue face.

The torches were dimly lit, but Daisy recognized Luo Lan immediately. For a moment, she felt at ease, but immediately warned herself to be vigilant.

"Your name is Daisy, isn't it? I saved you at the stake in Blue Water City, remember? ”

Luo Lan approached with small steps, Daisy's face was white and red, she clearly remembered the gentle eyes when Luo Lan rescued herself, which was incomparable to the gentleness of no one.

But he is an alchemist, a devil who is spurned by everyone, and this gentle prince is afraid that he will also be disgusted with himself.

"Yes...... Thank you...... I will get out of here as soon as possible......"

Daisy stammered, and for some reason a sour feeling surged in her heart.

Luo Lan immediately frowned, "How can you go?" Now that everyone else knows that you are a witch or my slave girl, you can't go anywhere, and if you are gone, won't I lose a lot"?

Luo Lan's tone was very domineering, Daisy sighed deeply, she found that Luo Lan was not gentle, he was coveting his young body, and he had been tacitly his slave girl.

"Wait until you've eaten me...... I hope you'll let me go......"

Daisy lowered her head, and tears began to fall from her red eyes.

Luo Lan was a little dazed, "What are you crying for?" Didn't Bina tell you why I saved you? I saved you on purpose, you are an alchemist".

Luo Lan's words made Daisy tremble violently, and she was so shocked that she took two steps back, and the cloth bag hidden behind her fell to the ground.

Luo Lan scratched her head with a wry smile, "Okay, okay, don't play dumb riddles, I've read "Alchemy" and know that it records a powerful thing that can explode, if I didn't guess wrong, you would make it, right?"

Luo Lan, who was straight to the point, calmed down Daisy, her good-looking face wrinkled tightly, and said timidly: "You want to explode the bomb?" ”

"Yes, there are already two alchemists on my island, both of them are big names with heads and faces, you are welcome to join, I promise, in Phuket, your explosive bombs will be carried forward!"

Daisy opened her mouth wide, thinking she had misheard. After she came to the island, she did feel that Phuket Island was different, but she never imagined that Prince Luo Lan would be bold enough to take in the alchemist.

The panic just now turned into surprise in an instant, and in the affirmative gaze of Prince Luo Lan, the panicked Daisy finally showed a smile.

Father, your alchemy may be ready to be unveiled.
