Bee coal is a good baby, and the technology to make it is only available in Phuket.

This is definitely a good thing that can be exchanged with Nanshan Country at the same price, because Nanshan Country is extremely dependent on weapon exports, and the creation of weapons is extremely dependent on charcoal.

If the charcoal is replaced with coal, the efficiency of Nanshan Country will probably increase dozens of times, and they will not be unmoved.

Luo Lan discussed the details with Charles for a long time, and finally finalized the export plan of the bee coal.

Of course, before exporting, you have to let Nanshan know about it.

"I invited Nicoto to visit Utan Pradesh, he should be here soon, and the food issue will not be delayed." In the castle, Luo Lan pondered how to entertain Nicoto.

Charles asked, "A lot of places in Utan Pradesh are using bee coal, should we hide it first?" After all, it's classified. ”

"Don't be so cautious, we have to turn the initiative into a passive, never mention the matter of bees, and let Nick see it with his own eyes."

Luo Lanyin laughed, obviously thinking of the idea of Yin Damage. Charles nodded after thinking for a while: "Okay, Your Highness has inspected the arsenal of Nanshan Kingdom, so let Nicoto inspect our blacksmith shop." ”

After the scorching heat, the weather is a little cooler, and the summer is coming to an end before you know it.

Luo Lan stayed in the southern state and did not return to the north, he was waiting for Nicoto to visit.

Finally, in the last days of summer, the envoy group of Nanshan Kingdom arrived. They sailed all the way to the port of Gargo in a large and luxurious ship.

Although Nanshan is not a big shipbuilding country, after all, the craftsmen are good, and it still has some good ships.

Luo Lan and Charles greeted the envoy group at the port, and the people in the city also came to join in the fun, which seemed very friendly.

The envoy group of Nanshan Kingdom was led by Nikto, and there were hundreds of people, many of whom were big nobles, which shows the importance that Nanshan Kingdom attaches to Phuket Island.

Duke Nicoto smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and when he got off the boat, he hurried over and hugged Luo Lan, and the two of them were like the closest friends.

Luo Lan was also very enthusiastic, and took Nicoto's hand and led him into the city.

Charles entertained the rest of the envoys and placed them all in the most luxurious castle.

When it was dark, the reception dinner began, and the rich cattle and sheep of the southern state were numerous, so there was no shortage of meat at all, and hundreds of people ate and drank to their heart's content.

Luo Lan deliberately asked Nicoto to sit with him, saying that the two were equal, which made the envoys feel happy, and Nicoto was even more complacent.

During the half-night dinner, neither side mentioned the export of food, as casual as a gathering of friends.

And the next day, Luo Lan took Nicoto and his party around to play around, without mentioning state affairs.

Of course, under Luo Lan's careful arrangement, the envoys saw the wheat in the fields cultivated in the southern state.

Green wheat, swaying in the wind, spreads all over the Basin of Utan Pradesh.

Wheat is like the waves of the sea, swaying vigorously in the autumn wind, and this kind of growth is not seen anywhere.

Nikitor and the others were dumbfounded, they were most concerned about grain, they had gone to the richest country in the Western Regions to see wheat before, and they had also gone to the Southern Plains to investigate, but the wheat in those places was simply weeds compared to those in the southern state.

"This ...... How is this done? ”

The messengers were astonished, as if they had seen the gods. Luo Lan coughed, pretending not to hear their questioning.

Charles on the side said with a smile: "The southern state is a place blessed by the gods, and it naturally grows very well. However, it is difficult to say in the coming year, and famine is also a possibility. ”

Charles was talking nonsense, and the messengers naturally knew that Charles would not tell the secret.

Nicoto laughed enthusiastically twice: "Congratulations to Prince Luo Lan, it's really enviable to get such a good place." ”

"It's all luck, luck. Let's go to the city and have a look, there's nothing to see out there. Luo Lan said happily and led everyone into the city.

In fact, there is nothing to see in the city, because the city of the southern state is too small and not comparable with the Nanshan country, so the envoys disdain to look at it.

But they couldn't refuse Luo Lan, so they had to reluctantly leave the farmland.

When he arrived in the city, Luo Lan deliberately took everyone to the largest blacksmith shop.

"We have a blacksmith shop in Gargo, and the sword is very sharp, which is the pride of the Southern Pradesh, so let's go with me." Luo Lan seemed to be eager to show off.

Everyone also came to the show, but they couldn't help but laugh when they looked at it.

The length and width of this blacksmith shop is only a dozen meters, there are only a dozen workers in it, only one high-temperature furnace, and the rest are earthen kilns, which is really backward.

The envoys were secretly disdainful, but Luo Lan said proudly: "Thirty long swords can be made here a month, and they are all top-level long swords. ”

Luo Lan asked the old master to fetch a long sword, flicked it with his fingers, and the long sword made a buzzing sound.

The envoys were immediately surprised, and several of the generals came forward to check on them and said, "It's really good, it's so backward...... Such a humble blacksmith shop can produce thirty long swords of this quality in a month? ”

The generals were puzzled, the output and quality of the long swords here were not as good as those produced in the Nanshan Country workshop. But the conditions here are so poor, it's incredible to be able to reach such a point.

"Because we use bee coal." A young apprentice smiled and opened the kiln, revealing the red-hot bee coal.

The envoys were taken aback, and at first they thought it was charcoal, but then they saw that it was not charcoal at all, but a round stone that was many times stronger than the heat of charcoal, and the heat even came to their faces.

"Shut it down, what are you talking about?" When the messengers were shocked, Charles suddenly scolded, and the apprentice hurriedly closed the earthen kiln and retreated uneasily.

Charles turned his face and smiled at everyone again: "The little doll is not sensible, nonsense, this is the charcoal of Uttar Pradesh, derived from a peculiar tree, there is nothing surprising." ”

The messengers laughed dryly, and everyone knew that Charles was lying.

Nikto was the most shocked, his eyes were still fixed on the earthen kiln, but unfortunately he could no longer see the shocking coal.

Luo Lan was a little flustered, as if her secret had been discovered.

He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go drink, it's hot here, it's not convenient to talk." ”

He forcibly took everyone away.

The messengers were silent all the way, talking in a low voice from time to time. One of the generals went up to pull Rannickto and asked him to take a step to speak.

Nikto found a reason to fall behind, and the general was still shocked: "Lord Duke, that thing is amazing, I don't know how many times stronger than charcoal, we have always used charcoal in the Nanshan Kingdom, and we have cut down all the mountains, and the efficiency has basically not improved, if it ......"

"I know that the wheat of this southern state grows wonderfully well, and the fuel for striking iron is also very strange, and there are too many secrets, and if I can get these secrets, it will be of great benefit to my Nanshan country." Nicoto was thoughtful, his eyes shining.

The general said excitedly: "Please be sure to ...... with Luo Lan, Lord Duke."

"Huh? What are you talking about here? Everybody's gone. Suddenly, Luo Lan came up.

Nico Toll and the general were startled, Luo Lan pulled one by one, dragged them back to the team, and a group of people entered the tavern, blocking the tavern to the brim, and most of the messengers could only wait outside.
