"Actually, it's not just that, there are other things, and we're being restricted."

After talking about the situation of the displaced people, and probably the speculation of the mastermind behind the scenes, Haisheng talked about other situations.

"It's iron, wood, and grain!"

Before Haisheng could speak, Zhu Gaoyu guessed the general situation.

Since that person has already made a move, other parties will also take action.

If a territory wants to develop, in addition to the necessities of food, other raw materials must also be missing.

The location of Zhu Gaoyu's fiefdom, as long as you are not a fool, can see that the sailor must be the main force for development in the future.

In this day and age, 9 out of 9 ships need wood, and it's not the kind that can be used when cut down.

The wood for shipbuilding needs to be specially selected, and it also needs several years of basic processing before it can be used in shipbuilding.

Not to mention iron.

All kinds of agricultural tools are made, and the armor and weapons used by the army are used, and there is no need to talk about it without iron.

Not to mention food.

You don't even have food and drink, what else do you want to do, and what else can you do?

Haisheng arched his hand in admiration.

Zhu Gaoyu is worthy of being the person he followed, and he is straightforward and serious.

"The grain is a little better, but the merchants over there have tripled the price of grain under the pretext of a long distance, and they are completely slaughtering us as fat sheep."

Haisheng explained the situation of grain for the first time.

In his mind, iron and wood, although scarce, were not urgently needed, and food was the most important thing.

Without food, what do these people in Qiongzhou rely on to eat and drink? You can't eat enough fruit alone.

As for seafood, without official cooperation, the people want to go to the sea to fish, not to mention the difficulties, it is not much better.

If Qiongzhou can't even afford to eat and drink, His Royal Highness King Yue doesn't have to think about his grand ambitions, and he will stay in Jinling and lie down to live the next life.

"I'll solve part of the food problem first."

After estimating all his food in his heart, Zhu Gaoyu decided to temporarily provide for himself in the early stage.

"I will return to Jinling as soon as possible to help you solve the problem of another part of the grain."

Haisheng didn't have any relaxed expression, frowned slightly and asked, "How much can Your Highness provide?" Can more grain be brought over from the mainland? ”

He needed to know the amount of grain and the time when the normal price of grain on the mainland would arrive before he could make the following arrangements.

Food is a big deal, and the slightest deviation will cause big trouble.

"I'll leave you 8,000 stones, and then let the fleet go out to sea to catch some seafood, which should be enough for you to support for a while."

Zhu Gaoyu roughly estimated the storage of his own grain and gave half of it directly to the other party.

"As for the cheap grain ...... on the mainland"

Zhu Gaoyu pondered for a moment, "Half a year, there will be grain shipped within half a year." ”

Haisheng breathed a sigh of relief and wrote down all this in his notebook.

Eight thousand stone of grain, plus his storage during this period of time, as well as the sea goods replenished by the fleet, were enough to support the Qiongzhou Mansion for half a year.

Where did Zhu Gaoyu get so much food, Haisheng didn't ask.

Although he is a little straightforward, he is not stupid, he has been an official for so many years, and he still knows what to ask and what not to ask.

"In terms of wood, you first take someone to look for it on the island to see if there is any suitable wood."

Zhu Gaoyu said seriously to Haisheng: "It's better to rely on others than on yourself, just rely on the mainland's supplies, and if someone blocks it one day, we will call the earth and the earth ineffective every day." ”

Haisheng also agreed very much, and said with a smile: "This matter has been ordered by the students last year, and some have been stored now, but if you want to use it for shipbuilding, it will take several years to wait." ”

After chatting about grain and timber, Zhu Gaoyu raised his hand and knocked on his forehead, thinking about how to solve the iron ore.

He had never been to Hainan in his previous life, and he didn't know much about it, but he vaguely remembered that the location of the Li nationality here seemed to be an iron mine called Shihe, and the location seemed to be in Jinniuling.

This thing was accidentally seen when he watched a short video in his previous life, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, so he just slid by.

Now he regrets it.

I knew that there was such a thing, and I had to memorize the content of that video in the first place.

Although I can't remember it clearly, but the approximate location shouldn't be much wrong, Qiongzhou Mansion is so big, and his memorable memory, the mine is not a needle, and you can definitely find it if you want to find it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoyu confessed to Haisheng: "I have seen some historical materials in the Ministry of Industry, it is said that there is a mine here in Qiongzhou Prefecture, which seems to be a copper and iron mine, and the location seems to be in Jinniuling. ”

"It's just that this was a remote place before, and the court in front didn't pay attention to it at all, and then it was gradually forgotten."

"Although I don't know if it's true or not, it's better than not having any clues, you can find a team in this area to investigate and see if you can find this mine."

"If this news is true, we will not be restricted in terms of copper and iron in the future."

After listening to Haisheng, although he felt a little unreliable, then again, hope is better than nothing.

And he seems to have heard of this place in Jinniuling.

Regardless of whether there is a mine in this place, it is good to look for it, maybe you have encountered a ghost, and there is really such a mine.

"I'm going back to Jinling in a few days, and I'll tell me what else you need, and I'll do it all at that time."

Knowing that someone in the imperial court restricted him, Zhu Gaoyu didn't plan to stay in the fiefdom for longer, he was going back to fight with others.

What's more, his little wife is still in Jinling, and he hasn't seen him for nearly two years, so he really misses that girl a little.

"Craftsmen, we urgently need capable craftsmen from all walks of life."

"And the officials who manage, and the gentlemen who teach, and the ......"

Haisheng was not polite, and said several needs in a row.

These subordinates are busy and desperate, and as old nature, they can't be idle, and they must end up when they should work hard.

Otherwise, just thinking about enjoyment, who will work hard for this rotten salted fish.

Reaching into his arms and taking out a small notebook, Haisheng handed it to Zhu Gaoyu with both hands.

"In addition to what the student just said, there are some other things that the student has recorded on this."

"Your Highness, if you have time to take a look, don't forget it."

took the book and looked through it, Zhu Gaoyu nodded again and again with satisfaction, and at the same time he was very happy.

Fortunately, I accepted this subordinate in the tavern at the beginning, otherwise so many things and suggestions, ordinary people really can't handle it.

After staying in Qiongzhou for three days, Zhu Gaoyu saw that Zheng He had not come back yet, and his heart had already flown back to Jinling, so he decided not to wait any longer, explained to Haisheng, and continued to go north to Jinling with the fleet.

Looking at the endless coastline, Zhu Gaoyu stood on the deck, his hands behind his back, looking in the direction of Jinling.

"This king is back, and Game of Thrones has officially begun!"
