Luo Lan looked at Ai Yiman in surprise and joy, Ai Yiman was happy, and pulled Luo Lan to the forest.

"If you really find gold, Phuket is going to make a fortune." Ai Yiman looked even happier than Luo Lan.

Luo Lan was overjoyed, what does it mean to find a gold mine? It means that Phuket can choose another way to develop maritime trade.

This world is relatively backward in all aspects, and in a backward world, gold is the most valuable, and all disputes on the continent revolve around territory and gold.

The group walked into the woods and arrived at their destination in less than a few minutes.

It was a bombed mountain, and the mountain could no longer be seen as it was, towering in some places, and deep in others, revealing huge craters.

Dozens of workers in the pit are groping for inspections, placing explosive bombs, and are in full swing.

And in a large fenced pit, the glittering gold ore can be clearly seen. They are yellow and white, or in clumps or patches, somewhat similar to pyrite.

Sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and shone on the gold ore, reflecting a dazzling glow.

"Your Highness, you're here!" Carl next to the pit shouted, almost jumping.

As a general of the Guard, Karl was bored every day, so he was sent by Rick to open a mine.

He traveled all the way north these days, took the elite miners to find many places, and unexpectedly found gold mines.

Luo Lan suppressed his excitement and said, "How did you find out?" ”

"God forbid, we were only camping here, but we accidentally found an open-air black stone, and the workers dug the black stone to see if it was anthracite. This excavation is incredible, there are only a few pieces of black stone, and there is gold ten meters away! ”

"At first, we thought it was pyrite, and we almost ignored it, but fortunately, an experienced worker felt that something was wrong and dug it out to study it."

Carl couldn't help but laugh out loud, and the workers around him were also happy, and this time he made a lot of money.

Luo Lan also laughed twice, he had always felt that it was impossible for Phuket Island to be free of minerals, and the aristocratic mining campaign twenty years ago was in the wrong direction.

Now the direction is right, the valuable minerals are in the northern jungles.

Luo Lan jumped into the pit, touched the gold ore happily, and then asked Carl, "How is the road from here to the west coast?" ”

"There are no roads, but there are many mountain roads, and we all come here along the mountain terrain, Your Highness, we can build roads to connect the north and west coasts."

It is true that it is feasible to build a road, but the distance is more than thirty kilometers, and there is no foundation at all, and if it does, it will probably take more than a year.

Luo Lan pondered for a moment and rejected the plan to build the road.

"Don't build roads first, the requirements for building roads in the forest are too high, and we will directly build a port here and connect the two places by sea."

It is most convenient to go by sea, and all kinds of materials can be transported by boat, which is very fast.

Carl nodded repeatedly, indicating that work could start now.

Luo Lan told him not to worry, and being optimistic about the gold mine was the top priority.

"Ai Iman, let's go back, we can do something big."

Luo Lan smiled and motioned for Ai Yiman to go back with him. The two climbed aboard the boat, leaving Mead with his soldiers to garrison the area.

On the boat, Aiyiman asked Luo Lan thoughtfully: "What the hell are you trying to do?" ”

"I want you to help me sell gold ore, just sell it in the East Bay area, and publicize it with all fleets."

Luo Lan's words surprised Ai Yiman: "Such a high profile? Gold ore is something that can kill you. ”

"Don't be afraid, you are now under the protection of the Northern Plains, and you will be fine in the Southern Seas. As for my Phuket Island, it is the territory of the Sea Spirit Country, and those who covet it have to weigh a little if they want to grab the gold mines. ”

Luo Lan smiled confidently: "Besides, I will sell it directly, they can all buy it, and I won't risk robbing it, after all, not everyone is a pirate." ”

Ai Yiman frowned after thinking for a while: "Although it makes sense, I still think it's very dangerous, especially on the second prince's side. If you sell gold ore publicly, you can't hide it from him, what will he think? ”

"He will certainly want to possess it, but he will not attack me yet, and if he attacks me now, he will surely anger the king, and my father will take him away." Luo Lan said indifferently, "Now that there are no capable people around him, no one will remind him to beware of me." ”

Ai Yiman no longer questioned it, but just reminded Luo Lan to be more cautious, the second prince's 100,000 elite soldiers are not vegetarians.

Luo Lan touched her chin and thought about it, and suddenly smiled cheaply: "It is true that you should be more cautious, so just tell Barron directly." ”

"Huh? You are crazy? Ai Yiman stood up in shock, "This kind of thing must be kept in secret for as long as possible, what do you mean by telling him directly?" ”

"The same tactic can be used many times on Barron. I'll take care of this, you've been in the harbor lately, the workers need your ship, you can help build a North Sea port. ”

The next day, Luo Lan returned to the palace, where he called Elle and wrote a letter "to Barron".

"Barron, the last time Prince Ben made a gesture of goodwill to you, you didn't appreciate it at all. Haha, what a retribution, Prince Ben discovered a gold mine, has the money to build a palace and has the money to raise a maid, are you jealous? ”

"You are not my opponent at all, when I sell the gold mine, immediately raise an army of 100,000, no, 150,000, more than you, see how I clean you up!"

After writing this mentally handicapped letter, Luo Lan asked Ellie to send someone to send it.

The corners of Ellie's mouth twitched: "I think you're mentally retarded." ”

"No, no, no, Barron is retarded." Luo Lan laughed and drank the rum.

Two days later, Raj, the lord of Blue Water City, entered the palace again.

The second prince, Barron, received him with two beautiful maids in his arms, and his big hands were still rubbing the maid's buttocks.

"Another news from Luo Lan?" The second prince is a pair of longitudinal. Lust is excessive, and he has recently become more and more obsessed with women. color, the heroic spirit has decreased a lot.

"Yes, Luo Lan has written to you again." Raj smiled and handed the letter in anticipation.

Barron didn't take it either, and asked the maid to take it apart and read it.

The smiling maid took it apart and read it.

"Prince Ben made a gesture of goodwill to you last time...... Prince Ben discovered a gold mine, and waited for Prince Ben to raise an army of 150,000 men...... Pack you up. ”

The maid stuttered a little, because Luo Lan's words were too much.

However, Barron and Raj laughed so hard that their stomachs hurt and tears came out.

It took a long time for Raj to deliberately say, "Your Highness, how is this good?" The eldest prince has discovered a gold mine and wants to raise an army of 150,000 people, we are doomed! ”

Barron smiled even more when he looked ugly.

"Raj, how many gold mines are there in the Southern Plains?" Barron continued to rub the maid's ass.

Raj said proudly: "Twelve gold mines, we are the richest fiefdom in the south!" ”

"Raj, how many people are there in Phuket?" Barron continued.

Raj sneered: "There are more than 200,000 people, and the maximum number of adult men is seventy or eighty thousand, even if Luo Lan is all captured and taken as soldiers, it is only 80,000 peasant troops, and I Nanyuan will lead 10,000 cavalry to slaughter." ”

The two of them laughed again.

After laughing, Barron suddenly said with a straight face: "I heard that my sister is trading with Luo Lan?" ”

Raj was stunned for a moment, and said unconcernedly: "Yes, the fleet that was given to Luo Lan at the beginning traded with the Three Imperial Maidens, and bought some iron ore to resell to Nanshan Kingdom, and His Highness also knew about it." ”

Barron's face turned cold: "What a slut, how wise and powerful this prince is, she doesn't assist me, but wants to save Luo Lan's waste!" ”

Raj rolled his eyes and said with a strange smile: "Your Highness, next year's king's birthday, it is estimated that the heir will be chosen." You must be the new king, when the time comes, take back the Northern Plains, the three princesses will be your people, speaking of which, these three princesses are really beautiful, after Your Highness enjoys it, can you reward us......"

"What did you say?" Barron's eyes suddenly turned cold, and the maid in his arms trembled with fright.

Raj was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Highness, the minister is just joking!" ”

"Is Sophia something you can enjoy? Get down! Barron scolded, and Raj rolled down.

Out of the palace, Raj gritted his teeth and scolded: "Without us nobles, you are nothing, hum!" ”

(In the past two days, I helped my parents make bread, quarreled every day, and had a mental breakdown every night.) I've been writing books for five years, and I'm still hitting the streets, and this book, which took a lot of painstaking work, is still the same. The family was in debt, and my parents were reluctant to spend money to ask for help, so they kept knocking on me to stop writing books and start fighting. Writing a book for 2,000 a month, selling bread for tens of thousands a month, hating himself for being incompetent, coming to the starting point for two years and hitting the street for two years, in a blink of an eye he is already an older unmarried young man, and he is taken out by his relatives to talk about it during the New Year's holidays. If I had been writing about Xiao Huang. Wen, don't talk about any dreams, probably won't be so miserable. Having said so much, I just want to tell you that I'm exhausted, I'm old, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to write this book, and I'll write it when I'm in a good mood, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry)
