Chapter 235: Mine, Mine, It's All Mine!
Two days later, Li Bin took Wei Yawei, the housekeeper of Futumen, and Xueying to follow, and rode straight to Mingde Mansion, the "porcelain capital" of Shannan Province.
With the words of his disciple Qian Yucai, Li Bin made up his mind to go to Mingde Mansion, the "porcelain capital" of Daqi, to strive to develop Mingde's porcelain industry and provide more porcelain with better quality for himself.
"Yawei, the iron ore here is what you call the largest and best iron mine in Daqi?" Li Bin looked at the miners who kept coming in and out of the cave not far away.
"Yes, Master. The quality of iron ore in Shannan has always been the best in our Daqi iron ore. Disciple Wei Yawei responded.
"Have you estimated? How much silver taels do you need to buy the iron ore here? "With the continuous expansion of the scale of the sect's disciples and the surge in the demand for weapons, Li Bin is trying to expand the weapons shop in the Futu Gate, which requires a large amount of iron ore to pass the level.
"Master, the disciple doesn't know how much this iron mine is worth, but when the disciple was the housekeeper of the Jingguan family before, his clan brother took advantage of his authority as a Jingguan to buy an iron mine in Jiangbei Province, spending 100,000 taels of silver. However, the iron ore mined from his iron ore has too low iron content and too many impurities, and the iron products smelted with the iron ore from his iron ore are not of good quality, and the cost performance is too low. ”
Li Bin pondered: "An iron ore with poor quality iron ore needs 100,000 taels of silver, and Shannan, which is known as the highest-quality iron ore in Daqi, needs 100,000 taels of silver." ”
"Let's go! This is a mining area, and idlers are not allowed to enter casually! Several mine guards stopped Li Bin's master and apprentice's horses from their way, staring at Li Bin's master and apprentice with a vigilant expression and shouting loudly.
"Tell you to come out of the mine, there is something." Li Bin said loudly.
"Who are you? Shall we see our heads when you say they can see us? Get out of here! The captain of the mine guard had an impatient look on his face.
Just when Li Bin was blocked outside the mining area. A motorized wagon full of iron ore slowly drove out of the mine.
Passing by Li Bin's side, a carriage full of iron ore. To say the least, there must be more than fifty cars.
"Manager Ye, there are still fifty truckloads of ore tomorrow. I have all the required amounts. I also hope that Mr. Ye is a little one, and he will say a few kind words in front of Qi Xiang. A stocky middle-aged man chased him out of the mine, grabbed the reins of a thin man's horse, and said flatteringly. After speaking, he took out a few shining gold ingots from his coat pocket and put them in the horse bag.
The man on the horse, who was called Chief Ye on the horse, smiled when he saw the gold ingot, nodded and smiled: "It's easy to say, Lord Cai, rest assured, all the iron mines in Shannan are yours, as long as you follow Qi Xiang loyally, will Qi Xiang still treat you badly?" ”
Although the two were a little far away from Li Bin, they didn't speak loudly. But today's Li Bin has pure internal skills, deaf ears and eyes, and has heard the conversation between the two clearly.
Li Bin pondered: "Qi Xiang promised to help the Tubo people sell the best iron pieces of Daqi, and it turned out that he colluded with the mine owners here to smuggle the country's iron weapons to the enemy country. ”
Li Bin inadvertently broke the dirty deal between Qi Xiang and the Tubo people today.
"Yawei, let's go." Li Bin turned his horse and rode out of the mine.
"Master, can we still buy the iron ore?" Disciple Wei Yawei couldn't understand why the master changed his mind temporarily, and went back without going to the owner of the iron mine to discuss business.
"Not buying. The iron ore in the south of the mountain is all from my Futumen! Li Binhao said.
"Huh?" Wei Yawei replied in surprise, he didn't know what the master meant by this? If you don't buy iron ore, can it automatically become its own thing?
Wei Yawei was surprised in his heart: "Master's actions are really unpredictable. It's too high to fathom. ”
Seeing that the master rode his horse and galloped towards Lingnan, Wei Yawei was really confused, so he had to ride his horse and gallop to keep up with the master.
Not half a day. Li Bin rode his horse to the cave where the headquarters of Zi Gejie was located in the six southern provinces.
"Master, the mountains here are high and dense, and there are strong men roaming around with weapons everywhere. All of them are fierce and vicious. Isn't this a robber's den? The scene that disciple Wei Yawei saw along the way made him a little nervous, if it weren't for the fact that his master Li Bin was by his side. It is estimated that he will beat his horse and gallop back, how dare he stop here.
Li Bin dismounted and walked to the entrance of a cave. The green forest bandits patrolling along the way saw Li Bin coming from a distance, and they all took the initiative to avoid the side, lined up and bowed to greet Li Bin, and waited for Li Bin to pass before continuing to patrol the mountain.
Disciple Wei Yawei was even more shocked when he saw this scene, these fierce and vicious strongmen saw the master, everyone was in awe, let alone interrogation, and they didn't even dare to come out.
As soon as Li Bin's master and apprentice walked to the entrance of the cave, a sturdy man in a short shirt and a face full of flesh ran out of the cave, laughed "haha", enthusiastically held Li Bin's hand with both hands, and said with a smile: "Master Li is here, Gojie has missed the distance, forgive your sins." ”
Li Bin patted Ge Jie's arm and said with a smile: "King Ge, I came today to ask you for a favor." ”
Li Bin and Ge Jie have been acquaintances for a long time, and both of them have something to say, and they are simply very happy. ”
"It is my honor to be able to serve Master Li, so you can just tell me what to do."
Li Bin approached and whispered in Gejie's ear for a while.
"It's a trivial matter, don't worry, Master Li, I, Gejie, will definitely help you do it properly." After listening to Li Bin's words, Ge Jie patted his thick and firm chest and said loudly.
"Master Li, this little brother's eyes are tight, he is your newly accepted disciple, right?" Ge Jie looked at Wei Yawei, who was following behind his master Li Bin, and said.
"Yawei, come and see King Ge, King Ge is the chief scoop of the green forest in the six southern provinces." Li Bin instructed his disciples.
"The kid has seen King Ge." Wei Yawei took a step forward and bowed down to greet the junior martial arts of Ge Jie.
"Little brother, don't listen to what your master said, what your master said was to give me face for Lao Ge. There are brothers in the four seas, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Big Brother Ge in the future. "Ge Jie has been mixed with the green forest for most of his life, why don't you know, Li Bin only brought Wei Yawei to see him today, which is enough to show that Wei Yawei's status in the Futu Gate is extraordinary, and he must be a disciple that Li Bin relies on, so Ge Jie enthusiastically started a relationship with Wei Yawei.
Wei Yawei did not immediately respond to Ge Jie's request to be called a brother and brother, first looked at Master Li Bin, and after obtaining a nod of approval from Master Li Bin, Wei Yawei and Ge Jie hugged each other warmly, and shouted: "Yawei has seen Brother Ge. ”
"Good brother." Ge Jie is very happy to be able to get close to Wei Yawei, a pro-new disciple that Li Bin relies on, it is better to have one more layer of relationship with Li Bin, Li Bin became the Marquis of Daqi Wanhu, and the news of the head hunt has already reached Ge Jie's ears, and those who are mixed with the green forest are all licking blood from the knife edge to live, and having a big tree like Li Bin behind him that can be relied on with confidence is more important than anything, which is equivalent to having an extra life talisman.
Besides, Li Bin really saved his life not long ago, so Ge Jie decided that Li Bin was a person who could definitely be relied on with confidence.
"Master Li, Brother Wei Xian, there is an invitation inside, today I will be the east, please Master Li to appreciate his face." Ge Jie dodged a path and bowed down to invite Li Bin's master and apprentice into the cave.
"Another day, we have something to do today. Yawei, say goodbye to your big brother. Let's go. Li Bin instructed his disciples. (To be continued......)
