Chapter 196: The Land of the Damned, Hematite Mine

Three days after the engagement ceremony, that is, on October 23, Wei Guogong took Wei Zhilan to leave Jinxing City and returned to Yunzhou Imperial Capital.

Everyone should have left, Leng Zhuo did not continue to stay in the Earl's Mansion of Jinxing City, and hurriedly went south with the only remaining fiancée, Lu Chanyue, and went straight to the Valley of Weeping Blood.

"Young master, the news sent back by Feng Thirteen, in several counties of Qianhu County, our goods are simply in short supply, and the goods that have been transported over have not been supported by three days and all of them have been sold out, which is considered to be famous all of a sudden, in order not to run out of goods to sell, Guan Mén Daji, they even have to temporarily intercept the goods that are ready to be shipped to Songjiang, Taicang and other prefectures, in order to cope with the supply of goods in the counties and counties of Jinfeng Mansion, and the other side has already urged the goods, we must hurry up and transport a batch of past, otherwise the current goods will not be able to support ten days!"

Li Ya'er's face was full of excitement, if she succeeded, Jinhe would become the endless Jinhe of the Leng family, just as the young master said.

Although Leng Zhuo also smiled on his face, he was not too excited, everything was expected, because it was an opening reward, Leng Zhuo made people sell at a 7% discount on the first day, a 20% discount on the second day, a 9% discount on the third day, and a 9% discount for the next week, and even after a week, the goods in Leng Zhuo's store would be ten percent lower than other similar goods in the local area.

The price is so much lower, but for Leng Zhuo's side, it is still a big profit, from the Crying Blood Valley to Yangzhou Qianhu County, the goods are transferred to the final shelves in no more than five days, and if these goods go from the Tianhe route, it will take one month to arrive in Yangzhou, and one and a half months to arrive in Jinfeng Mansion.

Time is secondary, and in the process of transportation, the taxes of the county government, the taxes of the state, the shipping of goods, the consumption of manpower, and the cost of warehouses, all add up, which is several times higher than the purchase price, or even more than ten times.

And take the Golden River, the road is close, the number of prefectures and counties crossed is less, and the tax saved is a large sum, Leng Zhuo's goods are still sold in half, they are still high profits, but he will not do thankless things, and the attack on other shops is already very strong when it is lower than the market price.

"There's nothing else in the message sent back by Wind Thirteen!"

"Yes, it is said that there are many people over there who are now looking for the whereabouts of the young master, and even found out about Zheng Long's incident, but most of them have returned in vain, but recently someone has found their heads, and some lake thieves have been arrested to ask! ”

Leng Zhuo sighed, didn't pay too much attention, and continued to ask: "Apart from these, there are no local merchants looking for mén!"

"It didn't say it!" said Lia.

Leng Zhuo leaned back in his chair, turned his head to look at Lu Chanyue, who was quietly listening to the conversation between the two, and smiled at her: "I heard that it only took you three years to complete all the courses from Chuzhou Business School and obtain the intermediate businessman license certificate, and then you stayed at home for a year, and opened seven shops in less than a year with the accumulated sī house money, and even the head of the Lu family praised you as a business genius!"

Lu Chanyue smiled gently, and two shallow dimples appeared on her cheeks: "Compared with you, I feel that I am just playing with the Gu family, and I have the existing resources of the Lu family to use, but you are almost self-made, compared to genius, I think I am inferior!"

Leng Zhuo likes to see Lu Chanyue's smile very much, very quiet, and she is like water, she always seems to be very quiet, but it makes people very comfortable: "I feel very proud to be praised by my fiancée, but since you are now a member of my Leng family, I don't plan to spend such a good resource, there will be a large number of goods shipped back from Yangzhou, and here in Chuzhou, I will be responsible for all of them, including your dowry!"

Lu Chanyue didn't refuse, just blinked and said, "Are you sure you're talking about everything?"

"Of course, Chuzhou's side will give you all the jiāo, including manpower recruitment, even if you recruit all those jīng Ying from your Lu family, I won't have any opinion!" Leng Zhuo said with certainty.

"So I can do a big job, maybe I won't regret it so much in the future that I nodded and agreed to marry you! At least you didn't treat me as a plaything on a chuáng. Lu Chanyue said with a smile.

Leng Zhuo blinked, looked at Lu Chanyue, and said, "The plaything on Chuáng, am I like the kind of person who only knows how to play NV?"

Lu Chanyue smiled and didn't answer, but it made Leng Zhuo depressed for a while, thinking that she had been with Nangong Yùhu Hún in the past two days, and couldn't help gritting her teeth at this cunning nv person who fabricated rumors, girl, next time I see you, I won't let you come for three days, he is not a man.

stayed in Gufeng County City for one night, and at noon the next day, he rushed back to the Weeping Blood Valley, and when he entered the Weeping Blood Valley, Leng Zhuo asked people to call Leng Chen, Qin Liang yù, and Sophia.

"Congratulations, young master!" As soon as Leng Chen entered the mén, he smiled and congratulated Leng Zhuo, and the same was true for Qin Liang's entry into the mén, only Sophia entered the mén, her face was a little cold, and there was no word of congratulations.

"Calling the three of you over, the main reason is to ask you to strengthen your vigilance in the near future, I think someone will send spies over soon!" Leng Zhuo said directly: "The trade road in the jungle can't be leaked no matter what, at least not at the moment, Zhensu, Sophia, your NV battalion has a heavy task, you can select a thousand people and expand the size of the NV battalion!"

"Got it, young master!"

"Brother Leng, you are mainly responsible for the defense of the Weeping Blood Valley and the surrounding areas, and the manpower in your hands can be tighter, but at the moment there are no soldiers to recruit in the Weeping Blood Valley, so you can only work hard for everyone, I will personally handle the recruitment of recruits, but in a short period of time, I can only rely on the current manpower!"

"It's okay to work harder, it's better than nothing to do every day!"

"Well, then you guys go get busy first!" Leng Zhuo said and waved his hand, the three of them turned around and left, but Leng Zhuo raised his head and said, "Sophia, you stay for the time being, I still have something to say to you!"

Qin Liang yù, Leng Chen left the room and closed the mén, but Sophia looked at Leng Zhuo who came over, tensed her body, and said coldly: "Is there something?"

Leng Zhuo smiled and said: "If there is something, I will not ask you to stay if you are fine, anyway, you are also my first NV person, although because of your bloodline, my grandfather will not agree to let me marry you, but in the Valley of Weeping Blood, you will not be a head shorter than anyone else!"

"That's all you have to say, and if so, then I'm out!" Sophia turned her head and was about to leave.

Leng Zhuo grabbed Sophia and said, "Okay, now let's get down to business, remember the last time we passed through the Red Flame Mountains!"

Sophia broke away from Leng Zhuo's hand, nodded, and said, "Of course I remember, it's that bare red hill! a burning land cursed by the gods." ”

"At that time, some of the red sè stones I took back from there made me throw them to some blacksmiths in the valley, fortunately, these red sè stones were as I thought, and they were made into metal, I named them hematite, according to the blacksmith, this kind of hematite is comparable to the black iron of Yunzhou, the blue iron of Shuzhou, and the mountain range we found before is an iron mine of lùtian to be exact!"

"What? that's iron ore!" Sophia's little entanglement in her heart was suddenly shocked by what Leng Zhuo said.

Sophia has lived in the wild forest for many years, but she knows the importance of iron, which is a gift from the gods to the warriors, but the ore in the wild forest is extremely "scarce", as long as there are a few places where there is iron, so iron is very precious, only large tribes have iron ore, and the general small and medium-sized tribes can only rely on wooden, or bone weapons.

But there were many cursed flaming hills like the one she had encountered before in the wild rainforest, and as for her, she had encountered as many as three, and according to Leng Zhuo, those who they regarded as gods inflicted heavenly punishment on the sinful, raining down unquenchable flames, and leaving there without grass were actually the god-given things they dreamed of, iron, which had to be said to be a great irony.

"Why are you telling me this, you are not afraid that I will tell this news through the word! If the big tribe knows about it, there will be hundreds of thousands of people who will occupy that large area of ore that can be refined from iron! And your territory will also be threatened!"

"Because, you are not only a barbarian, but also a dragon, I tell you this because I can't find a more suitable person than you to help me explore the Dao, because it is a bit far away from us, even if we want to develop there, how to transport the ore back will be a huge problem, and south of the Golden River, there are so many barbarians that they can't be killed at all, so I need a safe and secret transportation route!"

"Why do you want me to go, you don't have a lot of people under you, more suitable than me, at least you don't have to worry about leaking secrets!"

"If the other people enter the jungle, they will definitely provoke the attacks of the other barbarians, but you will not!

Sophia looked at Leng Zhuo, who was swearing, and there was inevitably a hint of bō movement in her eyes, she turned her head and said, "Maybe you will regret your decision today!"

"Maybe, I'll give you this matter, and be safe in the jungle, I don't want to hear that you're hurt!"

Sophia snorted lightly in her nose, and then walked out of the room, Leng Zhuo looked at Sophia's graceful back, and smiled bitterly, men yearn for a good day of hugging left and right, but if they really hug left and right, they will find that there are countless troubles, unless, just treat them as playthings, and don't pay any feelings.

Leng Zhuo didn't stay in the Weeping Blood Valley for long, although there were also endless things in the Weeping Blood Valley, but compared to what Leng Zhuo had to do, the things in the Weeping Blood Valley could be taken care of by people he trusted, and what he wanted to do needed to be done by him personally.

"Chanyue, Ya'er, I'm going to give you a trip at home, I'm going to Yangzhou!"

"Young master, how long are you going to leave this time!" Li Ya'er was obviously a little frightened, after all, Yangzhou seemed to be looking for his people.

"It won't be too long, at most half a month and January, the main thing is to see the situation in Yangzhou, and in addition, we are recruiting some available people to come back, don't worry!"
