Regarding this question, Ning Ning shook his head. I

"I don't dare to play this package ticket until the grain is really ripe. I can only say that it produces more than any kind of grain now, I don't know the answer Uncle Xie, are you not satisfied? ”

"Satisfied, why not? Ning Ning, which gift didn't reach my heart? I really thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have seen so much more than I could have imagined. Especially this food, this is the hope of all the people in the world. ”

Speaking of this, General Xie still feels excited, he has lived for so many years, and every time he fights, he has to worry about food and grass, especially now, the old emperor is becoming more and more incompetent, and he doesn't give a reason to deduct your grain and grass at all, and he comes directly and brightly. It's not that he hasn't written frequently on this issue, but the point is that no one wants to pay attention to him at all.

This is the treatment that courtiers who are not valued by the emperor may have when they lead troops to fight. To be honest, it's not that he doesn't get angry, but he's long past the age where he thinks that being angry will solve the problem. But I still feel angry, if one day he can be self-sufficient, there is no need for the court to give him such a face. When the time comes, whoever dares to show him a face, he will be directly beaten and looking for teeth all over the ground.

But Ning Ning pulled him aside so quietly, she must have something to say to him, so what did she want to say?

"Uncle Xie, I found that these fallen stones are not ordinary stones, they are iron ore."

"Mmmm, they're not ordinary stones...... What did you say?! ”

General Xie, who nodded halfway through, suddenly noticed that something was wrong, and then reviewed what Ning Ning said, and the whole person was instantly stunned. Iron ore? Is it the kind of iron ore that can be used to make weapons? But why?! How could these stones falling from the sky be iron ore? They're even breathing fire!

The incredulous three generals even deliberately glanced back at the huge stone in the big pit, but then thought about it, could it be that the largest stone was also full of iron ore? How many swords do you have to make?

is worthy of being a great general, and the first thought that comes to mind is exactly the same as Ning Ning.

When General Xie finally calmed down, Ning Ning nodded solemnly again, she didn't lie, these things can indeed be refined into steel, and then used to make weapons.

It's just that this is not so easy to make, and it has to be burned and refined in a special furnace. But it was such a coincidence, the forging furnace that Ning Ning and his second cousin had worked together before could be used to refine these stones.

But how to say it? Although Ning Ning has the technology and tools, no one may care about the stones that fell from the sky and threw them there in vain, but if they disappear in large quantities, someone will definitely know. If someone says something bad in private, it's not good.

Of course, Ning Ning was more worried that His Majesty the Emperor might doubt General Xie's loyalty because of this matter. After all, this kind of thing that falls from the sky always naturally carries a special meaning.

That's why Ning Ning asked General Xie so before.

At this moment, General Xie had obviously already reflected, and a solemn look flashed on his face, but the next moment it turned firm. Even if he told the emperor about this as it was, the old emperor would not believe him, and even suspected that he had some ulterior motive in saying this, not to mention how he could tell the emperor how he found out that there was iron ore in these stones?

You can't just expose Ning Ning's existence, right? He is not such an ungrateful person, not to mention that compared to the father and son who are now high up, he still prefers Ning Ning. So even if he was slightly aware of what Wushan and Mr. Song were doing, he still adopted a laissez-faire attitude, perhaps from the bottom of his heart, General Xie did not agree with the current emperor's ascension to the throne.

What's more, the current old emperor also chose a successor who was so mediocre and incompetent, which was simply challenging his endurance.

I don't know what the old emperor thinks, of course, it may be because his princes are all such incompetent, so he has to pick a cripple among the short people.

Having said that, Ning Ning obviously needs to develop his own power very much now, but he still did not hesitate to tell himself about the existence of these iron ores......

General Xie lowered his head and rubbed Ning Ning's head vigorously, until the black and shiny hair was messy, and then he opened his mouth with a smile.

"You little guy is very decisive, so you don't worry about me being a bad person. In order to keep the secret here, kill you or something? ”

Ning Ning was used to the fact that the elders always liked to rub her head from time to time, and she didn't even show a strange expression at this time, just nodded categorically.

"I believe in Uncle Xie, not to mention that these ores are of little use to me right now. If I can add some combat effectiveness to the Northern Desert Army, I am already very happy, after all, now that the grain is about to reach the harvest season, those grassland barbarians will definitely take the opportunity to send troops, I want everyone to be well, I don't want anyone to be hurt. Uncle Xie, have you considered whether to use these iron ores? If it's for refinement, I have the methods and tools here. However, it should be noted that if all the stones here are taken away, the movement will be too loud, and it may arouse the vigilance of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

"So do you want it?"

General Xie couldn't help but pause when he rubbed Ning Ning's hair, then took it back and sighed deeply.

"I definitely want it. You probably don't know what kind of swords, guns, swords, halberds and armor sent by the imperial court this year are, it is no exaggeration to say that I can break those arrows sent with two fingers. And those swords and armor, I don't know how many hands of goods they have been replaced. That's called a shabby. I'm embarrassed to give it to the soldiers under my command, but these are the best military supplies I've sent in the past three years. ”

"Don't hide it from Ning Ning, I really have no other way. As long as the imperial court can get rid of prejudices and really support a Northern Desert Army, I will not make such a decision. Alas, alas, I probably won't be trusted by the emperor in my life. ”

Ning Ning understood, and after a short silence, she spoke.

"So, Uncle Xie, have you already decided? How do you prepare? Wherever there is a need to come to me, Ning Ning will definitely go all out. ”
