Chapter 1676: Salamander Plague
Mo Fan also counted on being able to solve Jiang Xia's problem through the relationship between the Dongfang family, who knew that the Dongfang family also had a grudge against Jiang Xia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"On the Hangzhou government's side, I also have an acquaintance, so I'll ask him first, what is the matter with that tax, and if it is really unreasonable, it can be eliminated. Mo Fan said.
"Then please, as for what you said, I'll help you think of a way, there are still some old people in our Oriental family who can give Jiang Xia some face. Dongfang Lie said.
Mo Fan's acquaintance in Hangzhou is nothing more than Councilor Zhu Meng, although Zhu Meng is a person from the imperial capital of the Forbidden City, but after the plague incident, he can also be regarded as spreading his own contacts in Hangzhou's generation, about the matter of rock and iron ore, there will naturally be results if you ask about it.
It's also a coincidence, Zhu Meng happened to be in Hangzhou, and Mo Fan went directly to find it, and there was nothing polite about this guy.
......
Zhu Meng opened the door, still wearing the pajamas in the house, but found that there were actually ladies who came to his house, and immediately embarrassedly led them into the hall, and then went to change clothes before coming out.
"Why did you shave all your beard, I feel that you still have more majesty when you have a beard, and when you shave your beard, your head is shaved flat, it looks like you just made a mistake......" Mo Fan couldn't help but joke when he saw the change in Zhu Meng.
"Go, go, everyone says I'm a lot younger, but you kid can't speak. Say, what kind of trouble did you get into again. Zhu Meng asked.
"Are you familiar with an old guy named Jiang Xia?" Mo Fan said straight to the point.
"Jiang Xia???Quite familiar, everyone is a parliamentarian, and it is not uncommon to see him at the council meeting, although he is retired, but there is still an endless stream of people begging him to do things, why did you provoke Jiang Xia? Why do you always find trouble with these thorns, I can tell you, Jiang Xia's qualifications are much older than me, if he wants to move you, I can't protect you." Zhu Meng said.
"I just asked him about something. Mo Fan said.
At that moment, Mo Fan said that he was looking for the Oath Tree.
"That's right...... It's no problem for you to find someone, I also heard about it when I first heard about it in the trial, the Oath Tree was found by Lu Yi's predecessors and Jiang Xia, but I still know Jiang Xia, he is a bit like a businessman, he never does things that don't mean to him, and will turn what he has and obtained into benefits as much as possible. Zhu Meng said.
"Ahh It's really not good, I said hello to the totem snake and asked it to help me tie up Jiang Xia's guy and torture him directly. I really need a totem source power, and if this high-level gets stuck with me again, I'm going to be killed by those enemies I provoked in the first place!" Mo Fan said.
The Condensing Evil Bead has never been filled, the demonic power is dormant, Mo Fan has no bottom in his heart, he has died a lot in recent times, he is really afraid that he will die violently when he walks on the road!
"Wow, if you want to do this, he won't turn your snow-capped mountains upside down. In fact, there is nothing bad about his character, businessman, as long as it is beneficial to him, some personal grievances can be put down, and you and him have no deep hatred before, it is nothing more than the people of the Lu family who deliberately blew some wind in his ears to make him have prejudices against you. If you bring him something of value, he will naturally be willing to tell you about the Oath Tree and the tax. Zhu Meng said.
"Do what you like, right?" Dongfang Lie said.
"Almost, whatever can bring him benefits anyway, he welcomes it. Zhu Meng said.
"He's such a beauty, no, I have a little beauty of European ancestry......" Mo Fan said.
"Uh...... What age are the people, don't make trouble. Zhu Meng glanced at Little Apas, and felt a little embarrassed, this Mo Fan really could tell any nonsense.
"I don't have money. Mo Fan said.
Mo Fan is as short of money as ever, no matter how much money he gives him, he can squander it!
"You came to me today to find me right, I just happened to know what Jiang Xia was having a headache recently. Dongfang Lie, if you want to buy rock iron ore, aren't you being imposed a relatively heavy tax?" Zhu Meng said.
"Isn't it!" Dongfang Lie said indignantly.
"That's right, I understand the situation in the rock and iron mines. It is a kind of rock that wraps around the edge of the island like a belt due to the special lake water material deposited in the place bordering the islands of Qiandao Lake, and it is called rock iron because of its rusty brown color. There are more than 100 islands in Qiandao Lake, which are slightly larger, and there are such rock and iron particles adsorbed around them, and they can be collected and smelted as raw materials for some armor......" Zhu Meng said about the iron ore while drinking tea.
"Don't talk so much about popular science, I don't care too much. Mo Fan interrupted directly.
"Okay, okay. Qiandao Lake is now part of the semi-security zone, under the management of Councilor Jiang Xia, and every year it will probably provide the government with a batch of rarer minerals in addition to rock and iron ore ore, which we call embankments, because this thing can build river embankments, lake embankments and even sea walls. Zhu Meng said.
"Dikeshi?" Mu Ningxue had obviously heard of this material.
"Haha, you Fan Xueshan must be in great need of this kind of embankment. This thing can be said to be hard to find, rock and iron are relative to the embankment, it is all impurities, whether Jiang Xia sells it or not, in fact, it is a matter of his words. Zhu Meng said.
"What is the embankment for?" Mo Fan asked.
"The stone is an elemental stone that contains a huge amount of energy like the stamen of the earth. As you can see, Pudong is hidden by the sea, and a long seawall has been erected on the Huangpu River to stop the sea from continuing to rise. It is impossible to build such a long seawall by a builder alone, and those stones are no different from foam for some general-level and commander-level creatures. The existence of the stone is to allow this kind of sea embankment to gain the power of the earth system, so that the entire embankment can become stronger by injecting magic energy, and it can also make it more flexible, and if it is damaged, it can be repaired quickly, so that it will not be a lifeless earth wall. Lingling said.
Most of the demons are strong and strong, and the general-level creatures can reach tens of meters high with any jump, so some of the defensive walls that ordinary people see are not much different from small mounds in their eyes.
The stone is magical, not only can it form a changing earth magic on the stone wall to stop the demons from crossing over, but it is also far stronger than those ordinary rocks!
"Isn't there a high embankment in Tokyo's Tokai Battle Castle, one is a low embankment and the other is a high embankment. No matter how many demons there are, they can't cross the embankment, because the embankment is made of embankment stone, which is equivalent to a powerful prohibition. This is also the reason why Tokyo has been in so many naval wars, but Tokyo is still unharmed. A complete embankment stone is almost equal to a city. Mu Ningxue said.
To put it bluntly, the embankment stone is a kind of stamen of the earth, and the stamen of the earth is an enchantment-style guardian that envelops the earth, and will mark all the demons, and if there is such a sacred stone in the construction of inland cities, it can basically be safely erected. The function of the embankment is slightly weaker, it only forms a wall, blocking the enemy of one side, making it difficult to cross, but also for too many coastal cities, this is the city's sacred stone guard!
"I don't know why, a creature that has never been seen before appeared in Qiandao Lake, called the Salamander. Originally, the formation of rock iron and embankment stone is a relatively complex natural reaction, due to the gentle fluctuation of the lake water to send some floating materials on the surface of the lake to the edge of the island, and the contact with the porous island stone after thousands of miles of selection before slowly adhering to the particles, the output of more than 100 large islands in Qiandao Lake every year is quite limited, and some earth magicians need to collect them before dawn every day. However, this salamander also needs this floating material, and they suck up the rock iron particles and the embankment stone particles. Originally, these salamanders were not so difficult to destroy, but for some reason, they suddenly became as difficult to kill as King Kong's incorruptible body. Zhu Meng said.
"Can these salamanders convert the energy contained in the rock iron particles and into their own shells?" asked Mo Fan.
"Well, basically, Jiang Xia didn't take these salamanders seriously at first, but now, it's hard to get rid of them! Moreover, you also know that if there are no natural enemies in an ecosystem, the damage to the surrounding resources and environment after their infusion and reproduction is equivalent to a plague and a locust plague. Jiang Xia didn't know how many things he had broken for this matter, if you could help him solve this thorny problem, he would personally take you to find the Tree of Oaths and find the Divine Deer!" Zhu Meng said.
"No wonder, no wonder he wants to add some kind of ecological disaster tax to the rock iron mine, making the price so perverted!" Dongfang Lie said.
"Well, if he can't get the stone particles, he won't be able to make the god stone, and he should have enough rock and iron in his warehouse to build a town, he will definitely raise the price of this thing, otherwise where will the money come from to deal with this problem?" Zhu Meng said.
"Okay, I thought Jiang Xia was deliberately embarrassing our Oriental family. Dongfang Lie said.
"As I said, he is a man who looks at profit. The level of the salamander demon is not very high, but it is difficult for even a super-level mage to deal with, once Jiang Xia used the super-level power in a fit of anger, and as a result, he was even more devastated to find that even if all the salamander demons stood in front of it and piled up a mountain for him to cast a super-level magic attack, until Jiang Xia Demon ran out, it would not be able to destroy one-tenth of their number!" Zhu Meng said.
