Luo Lan spent three days in the West Coast mining area.

He couldn't go, because the people were so enthusiastic that everyone was willing to join in the road construction and was eager to make a name for his deeds.

In this world, a knighthood is the most precious thing.

It took three days for Luo Lan to set up a rudimentary Ministry of Transportation and Construction, appointing Bol as the minister to oversee the construction of roads on the West Coast.

Bol was so excited that he immediately set about building a kiln to make a big move.

And at this time, the black stone once again exerted its terrifying effect.

In the past, only wood could be used for firing kilns, which required a huge amount, and the quality of the hard soil burned out was not good, which was easy to cause building collapse.

But now, with the powerful energy supply of coal, a kiln can burn hard soil around the clock, and the hard soil is harder than iron.

Of course, this is Ball's exaggeration.

Luo Lan was quite satisfied, but his ambitions were not satisfied. It's not enough to just burn the soil, you also need cement.

But he is not an expert in construction, and he doesn't know how to make cement at all, although he knows what limestone is needed, but how to do it, Luo Lan doesn't know anything.

Just like making gunpowder, everyone knows that you need charcoal and sulfur, but you will be confused about actually doing it.

Luo Lan is not omnipotent after all.

However, he was full of expectations for cement and gunpowder, which was not impossible, because "Alchemy" mentioned cement and gunpowder, that is, some alchemists in this world could make cement and gunpowder.

"I'll have to find other alchemists as soon as possible."

Luo Lan, who was looking forward to it, rubbed her hands and finally left the West Coast mining area with Bina.

It's on track, and it's up to Rick and Bor.

Two days later, Luo Lan and Bina returned to Phuket City.

And the officials in the city have already sorted out some information about Bishuiwan and handed them all over to Luo Lan.

Luo Lan and Bina watched it together for a while, and they both showed thoughtful expressions.

Bishui Bay, located in the south of the southern great power Hailing Kingdom, is the largest bay in the south, and the ultimate destination of almost all northern merchant ships is Bishui Bay.

The fief to which Bishuiwan belongs is the Nanyuan Territory, which has a vast area, occupying one-third of the land in the Hailing Plain, and is located in the south, so it is called the Nanyuan Territory.

The lord of the southern plain lord is the second prince Barun, and there are more than 300 minor lords under his name, and the lord of Bishuiwan is a man named Raj.

Raj is ugly and treacherous, good at flattery, and followed the second prince Barron as an administrative minister in his early years, and later begged for Bishuiwan as a fief, I don't know how much oil and water he has made.

"My second brother Barron really has no vision, and he actually gave Bishui Bay as a fief to others. As for this Raj, he is very smart, and he asked for a blue water bay, although the power is very weak, and there are few private soldiers, but he earns the most money. ”

Luo Lan came to a conclusion after analysis, thinking about how to deal with Raj in his mind.

Bina glanced at Luo Lan: "You are a god, you can analyze the Tao at a glance." ”

"Am I wrong?"

Luo Lan laughed, and Bina raised her chin, "That's right, but you missed very important information, that is, Raj is very good. color, I don't know if this information is useful to you".

Good. Hue?

Luo Lan showed a subtle smile, the man is good. Lust is a fatal flaw, even though every man is good. Hue.

"I understand, more information still needs to be clear after the field investigation, let's go to Nanyuan as soon as possible, my second brother is going to have a birthday, I have an excuse to meet him."

Luo Lan stretched, and Bina hesitated for a moment and said, "You're going to see Barron?" He is the second prince, and has always been known as the most capable successor, he is an enemy of you, although you were exiled two years ago, but he must still be at ease with you. ”

Bina was worried about Luo Lan's safety, and she felt that Barron might take the opportunity to get rid of Luo Lan.

Luo Lan shook his head slightly, he rubbed his face, and suddenly showed an extremely flirtatious smile, "Miss Bina, you are so beautiful."

Bina stepped back with a look of disgust: "What are you doing?" Disgusting to death, just like before! ”

Luo Lan still smiled flirtatiously: "We are going to act, I have done so many big moves on Phuket Island, if I hide and don't show up, my second brother will be suspicious, so I have to go to see him and dispel his vigilance, as for what to do......"

The frivolous Luo Lan leaned into Bina's ear and told her in detail about a lot of precautions.

It took a full hour for the two to finish talking.

Looking at Luo Lan's indecent cheeks, Bina rolled her eyes: "Okay, okay, don't pretend, I'm a little sick to my stomach." ”

"What you say hurts, Miss Bina."

"Who cares about you!"

Later that day, the two of them got ready, brought a large bag of gold coins, and rented the most luxurious wrecked ship in Phuket Harbor, ready to set off.

There were only a few delicate maids and boating fishermen accompanying her, and Luo Lan hugged her left and right, so she was so serious that she gritted her teeth when she saw Bina.

But before leaving, a few fast horses arrived.

Luo Lan glanced at it, and it was Barrett.

Luo Lan was suddenly puzzled, this Barrett obeyed his orders and had already gone south to promote the ridge cultivation method, what are he doing when he comes back now?

Confused, Barrett had already rushed over on horseback.

"Your Highness, I'm back, and I brought you the oranges you like to eat!"

Barrett was so dusty that he almost didn't kneel in the water.

He carried a cloth bag containing limes picked in the woods of central Phuket.

Luo Lan asked, "Why did you come back?" Didn't I tell you to help Gandalf? ”

"Your Highness, I was beaten back by Gandalf, he almost didn't kill me, scolded me for not protecting His Highness, and ran out to play."

Barrett was aggrieved, Luo Lan couldn't cry or laugh, that Gandalf.

"Okay, you take someone to the West Coast to help Rick, I'm going to land to pull investment, it may be a long time before I come back."

"Howler!"

Barretley tightened his rope and did not ask what a pull investment was, without the slightest ink. Luo Lan looked at his cloth bag, "Give me the oranges."

Barrett immediately threw over a large bag of oranges.

Luo Lan motioned to sail, and he took out an orange and handed it to Bina.

"Do you eat?"

Bina shook her head with disgust, "It's too sour, few people like to eat oranges."

"Don't sailors eat either?"

"Why do sailors eat?"

Bina was puzzled, and Luo Lan suddenly laughed, "This is a good thing, let me ask you, do sailors often get a strange disease?" Their teeth bleed, loosen or even fall out inexplicably, and their skin will appear spotted, like corpse spots, which looks scary."

"How do you know about this disease?"

Bina was stunned.

The kind of disease that Luo Lan refers to is called "Sea Devil's Tooth", as the name suggests, it means that the sailor's teeth are entangled by demons at sea.

Many sailors go to sea with bleeding and sore gums, which greatly affects fishing or navigation, and although it may seem like a minor illness, it is a major problem that afflicts countless captains and sailors.

The invincible Western fleets on the planet were plagued by toothaches, and later began to bring fruits such as limes to prevent toothaches, but limes were perishable, and it was not until the 17th century that the use of rum eliminated toothaches.

Facing the surprised Bina, Luo Lan smiled and said nothing.

He naturally knew about this disease, and if he remembered correctly, it was mentioned in the junior high school textbook.

This is called scurvy, and eating more fruits and vegetables can prevent it.

"By the way, have you ever heard of rum?"

Luo Lan stretched her legs, and Bina shook her head.

"Have you ever heard of sugar cane? A sweet rod-shaped crop, similar to a corn stalk. ”

"You mean Sweet Terrier? There are a lot of them on Phuket Island, in the central part of the country. ”

Bina couldn't understand what Luo Lan wanted to express, so Luo Lan continued to ask, "Does the winemaker use sweet stems to make sake?" ”

"Of course not, usually wheat or grapes, who would use sweet stems."

Wonderful, rum is ready to be introduced.

Luo Lan peeled off the orange and ate it with a smile.
