After Linton went down, Raj complained with an ugly face: "Your Highness, you are too good to Linton, this kid doesn't know what to do......"

"Raj, don't say a few words, the Linton family is a big nobleman in the Southern Plains, and the title is much higher than yours."

Barron explained why he "connived" with Linton.

Raj immediately understood, but was still angry.

"I feel aggrieved for Your Highness, this damn bastard will rebel sooner or later!"

A dark look flashed in Barron's eyes, and he stared indifferently in the direction Linton had left.

In the Nanyuan Basin, there is a huge military camp with 100,000 elite soldiers.

Linton rode back and walked hesitantly about the tent, occasionally glancing at the stables in the distance.

After walking like this, he sighed, and after all, he did not go to the stable.

But the people in the stables came uninvited.

A tired Max coughed and walked in.

"Linton, don't you finally believe me?" Max said this, his eyes showing a deep sense of loss.

Linton was at a loss as a child in a hurry.

"No...... This...... Max, there's nothing I can do, Your Highness is very dissatisfied with me, I ......" Linton was helpless.

Max sighed and sat down casually.

"What is Raj here for?" Max asked, Linton stopped talking, Max smiled wryly, "Old friend, tell me one last time." ”

Linton still said: "Luo Lan wrote a letter and asked His Highness to sell iron ore, and he resold it to Nanshan Kingdom for a profit, and he also made this request to the Third Imperial Daughter. At the same time, he also asked His Royal Highness to lend him 50,000 gold coins, and he wanted to build a palace. ”

Linton said, raising his voice: "Look, Luo Lan is still such a waste material, at this time, he is still thinking about repairing the palace, you may think highly of him, why don't you admit your mistake to His Highness......"

Max lowered his head and said nothing, and after half a sound, he laughed at himself, and his eyes were already red.

"The Three Princesses are unusual to Luo Lan, and they will definitely sell iron ore. And how smart Luo Lan was, he knew that he couldn't hide it from His Highness, so he simply wrote to tell His Highness, so that His Highness wouldn't look at him at all. ”

"Nanshan country only lacks food, and their weapons are not sold in many quantities, where do they need iron ore? Luo Lan did not want to resell iron ore, but to develop his own iron smelting industry. I didn't expect him to come to this point, I'm afraid that the problems of the peasants have been solved, and in just one year, he can actually play with His Highness in the palm of his hand, terrifying. ”

Max's lips trembled, and he clutched his head in pain.

Linton was a little puzzled, and he reassured, "Max, have you been overworked lately?" Isn't that unreasonable? ”

Hearing his friend say this, Max broke down and burst into tears.

Linton was taken aback, this great general would not comfort people at all.

The crying in the tent did not stop until it was half-loud.

Max's face turned blue, and he grabbed Linton's big hand tightly: "My old friend, I beg you one last time, please convey my words to His Highness, so that I will be satisfied." ”

Looking at Max's red and swollen eyes, Linton turned his head and said, "Max, don't be like this, I really can't help it......"

Max laughed miserably and said hoarsely: "Then you send me away, I want to go to Phuket Island before I die, I must see what Luo Lan is doing." ”

Linton hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and agreed.

After dark, Linton sent someone to secretly take Max out of the barracks and send him to Bishui Harbor to be smuggled to Phuket Island.

At this time, Phuket Island was dark, but there was a little fire in the darkness.

On the West Coast, in particular, torches and coal have dispelled the darkness.

Luo Lan and Elle walked around the industrial base, and from time to time they were dragged by workers to drink and participate in bonfires.

This is Elle's first time in the industrial base, and she looks here and there with her big beautiful eyes, full of amazement.

Luo Lan quipped: "I saw a sentence in a book in the Western Regions: Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, do you know what it means?" ”

Elle, who was groping the dirt road, said, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's the countrymen who go into the city and are amazed at what they see." Luo Lan couldn't help but laugh.

Elle sighed, continued to touch the road, and then reacted with a punch: "You die!" ”

Luo Lan grabbed her hand and pointed to the children who were playing hide and seek near the earthen kiln not far away.

"Look at them, they are only in their teens, and they came here to work with their parents, and they have been like this for the rest of their lives, and they don't even know what the outside world is like."

Luo Lan's tone became a little serious.

Ellie was stunned: "Isn't this good?" You can make money at such a young age, and when you grow up, you will be rich, and you can take a beautiful wife. ”

"But they are only manual workers all their lives, and although such workers are useful, if the whole country is such workers, it is very difficult for the country to improve."

"We need not only workers, but also officials, doctors, and technical personnel...... Daisy learned his father's skills so she could invent firearms for Phuket; Bor mastered his ancestors' road-building skills, so he was able to build roads and ports for the West Coast; Charles traveled the mainland and excelled in government and diplomacy, and it was he who kept Phuket in a relatively safe place. ”

Luo Lan talked eloquently, Ellie pondered for a moment, and then said excitedly: "You're going to build a school?" ”

"Yes, education is the foundation of the country. A little girl like you can handle government affairs after studying at Hailing Academy, which shows how effective education is. ”

Luo Lan smiled and nodded, and Ellie's face darkened: "Why do I think you look down on me?" I'm the head female student at Hailing Academy! ”

"Okay, chief female student, education is a very important and difficult thing, we can't develop it ourselves, I need you to take someone to Beiyuan to collect the scriptures, and then come back to build the school in combination with the actual situation."

It is extremely difficult to develop education in a place where there is no educational foundation, because even the "textbooks" do not know how to make them.

Elle was the only one with a little experience, and she had to get to work.

"Go to Kitahara to get the scriptures? Will your sister agree? Ellie was worried.

"If she agrees to sell the iron ore, then the rest will be agreed." Luo Lan looked to the north, and there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes.

——————

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and there is not a single wind in Phuket.

Luo Lan was fishing in the port of Phuket City, and the fishing boats in the distance were heading south.

The fishermen waved at Luo Lan: "Your Highness, we will give you fish, you don't need to catch it." ”

"Don't, no, it's romantic."

The fishermen snickered, where do they know what romance.

Luo Lan continued to fish, and he was very good. He's more idle now, Gandalf, Charles, Ellie, Rick, Daisy...... A large group of capable people have supported the development of Phuket, and under normal circumstances, Luo Lan doesn't have to work.

He only needs to wait now, wait for Ai Yimannan to return, confirm the trade relationship with Sophia, and then build the golden triangle and unsheath the blade.

As a result, he didn't wait for Aiyiman, but waited for a rotten ship in the Nanyuan Territory.

It was a miserable rotten ship, with a leaky bottom, cruising from the blue water bay.

Luo Lan, who was fishing, raised his eyebrows, and the soldiers stationed in the harbor immediately rowed over to drive them away.

"It's forbidden to go near Phuket, we've cut ties with you!" The soldier shouted loudly.

A gray-faced man on the boat raised his head, he was ordinary-looking, and his eyes were full of dead ashes.

Luo Lan was taken aback when she saw him from afar.

"Max?"

It turned out to be Max, the thinker next to Barron.

He can be said to be the only person Luo Lan is afraid of, but he didn't expect to come to Phuket Island by rowing alone?

Luo Lan was alert and got up to stare at Max.

Max's eyes were also on Luo Lan, he looked at Luo Lan for a long time, his expression was complicated and difficult to understand.

Luo Lan grinned toothily and waved her hand: "Grab it." ”
