Inside the ordnance warehouse, a row of 20 guns are lying quietly. These guns are a batch of export-oriented guns produced by the military workshop.

"Uncle Huang, these cannons are ordered by King Liang and King Zhao. They will be delivered soon. I'm afraid they can't be sold to Uncle Huang." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

King Yong was quite disappointed. Now every vassal was hoarding firearms to enhance his strength. He had fallen behind a lot. Especially when he learned that these guns were sold to King Liang, he had a sense of crisis.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the fact that Xiao Ming saw the gun sold to the king of Liang, he understood that his nephew always sold arms when he had money. He even suspected that Xiao Ming would sell arms if the barbarians paid a high price.

Thinking of this, King Yong's eyes turned, "my dear nephew, we belong to the royal family. Naturally, this business has relatives and relatives. Why don't you sell this batch of guns to Uncle Huang first, and then you produce another batch of guns for him?"

These guns were deliberately placed in the warehouse by Xiao Ming. In fact, they were not prepared for King Liang, but for King Yong, because King Yong's fiefdom was a treasure land with rich mineral resources.

in order to get the mining rights of these mineral resources, he had to think of some wrong ideas, so he said: "Uncle Huang wants artillery is not simple, and his nephew produces another batch for uncle Huang, that is, no way. My nephew transferred a batch of artillery to Uncle Huang from the army."

"Really?" King Yong was very happy.

Xiao Ming nodded and said in an obscure way: "this time, the king of Liang purchased 400 guns from the king. How can my nephew take care of Uncle Huang?"

"Four hundred doors?" King Yong was so surprised that he immediately said, "my dear nephew, uncle Huang has more than King Liang. Uncle Huang has 500 doors!"

"Five hundred? Uncle Sihuang, these 500 doors are not cheap? " Xiao Ming said seriously, "it's said that there is not much silver in the imperial uncle's treasury. These five hundred guns need at least six or seven million taels of silver. This..."

King Yong suddenly felt a little uneasy. Xiao Ming talked about his pain. Now he really doesn't have much money. He suddenly remembered the last time Xiao Ming asked him to use coal mines to rush artillery, so he said, "good nephew, it's really no good. You can circle some coal mines again?"

after the shortage of iron ore, Xiao Ming has a deep resentment about iron ore, and the steam engine is about to run out Put into use, the use of coal will also be greatly improved, and now the self-sufficiency of mining in Dayu is obviously unable to meet his needs.

However, he did not want to spend too much manpower on mining. Instead, he was prepared to exchange industrial products for mineral resources and let other vassal kings provide ore for him.

After all, even if they are mining under their fiefdoms, these mines will still be under their jurisdiction at that time. If they turn over, they may be taken back at any time.

Therefore, he might as well use artillery directly to exchange ore, so that these vassal kings can be reduced to his mine owners. So he said: "Uncle Huang, nephew is really weak. There are few people in the fiefdom. How can there be so many people mining? Since uncle Huang sincerely wants to buy artillery, it's better to exchange coal and iron ore directly."

"Coal and iron ore?" King Yong was in a bit of a dilemma. He said, "my dear nephew, uncle Huang has several coal mines, but this iron ore is rare."

King Yong's fiefdoms include the current Hebei area. In modern times, the iron ore reserves in this area are second to none in China. That's why it became a steel base. King Yong was in Baoshan and didn't know what Baoshan really looked like.

With a smile, Xiao Ming said, "Uncle Huang is wrong. There are more iron mines in Uncle Huang's fiefdom than in coal mines. If Uncle Huang doesn't believe it, my nephew can help Uncle Huang find some, but Uncle Huang can only mine the iron mines himself."

King Yong has always been a man who depends on mountains and rivers. He can sell coal and iron for money. Why not? "Nephew, are you serious?" he said excitedly

"Seriously." Xiao Ming said.

King Yong nodded and said, "if it's true as my nephew said, uncle Huang will send someone to mine, how about exchanging ore for artillery?"

"Uncle Sihuang is very forthright. OK, that's settled." Xiao Ming's eyes narrowed. His first step plan has been completed. In order to make Dayu a resource supplier of Qingzhou, he also made great efforts.

For this reason, he didn't care whether he was a hostile vassal. After all, sometimes this kind of relationship between countries was hostile and at the same time used each other.

For example, in modern state relations, while fighting and killing, the non-governmental economy is still hot. This is the so-called cold politics and hot economy.

After negotiating this matter, Xiao Ming carefully calculated a sum of money for King Yong. The mineral resources that these 500 guns want to exchange are no different from the one hundred million shirts in exchange for a Boeing.

In order to buy guns, King Yong would be reduced to a big miner. At this time, the king of Chu had become the owner of his cotton manor, providing cotton for mianmianmian in Qingzhou.

After the transaction was completed, Xiao Ming accompanied King Yong to Qingzhou for several days. After showing him the changes of Qingzhou, he reluctantly returned to the fiefdom.

After King Yong left, Xiao Ming continued to plan the future of the fiefdom.

For him, the world's resources are limited. If he eats more, others will eat less. Therefore, in order to eat more and eat less, there is constant squalor between countries.The prosperity of the contemporary west is based on a high degree of control over the resources of life. Xiao Ming knows this well, so he is preparing to start a journey for the whole world to work for Qingzhou. Now it's his turn to exchange high-tech products for 100 million shirts.

While he was busy planning the resource intake plan, an emergency suddenly made the atmosphere of Qingzhou dignified.

"Doctor sun is dead!" When Pang Yukun said this, he looked dignified.

"Dead! How did you die Xiao Ming was shocked.

Pang Yukun said: "according to the investigation of the government, it is certain that doctor sun was poisoned by arsenic. Now it is said that doctor sun was forced to die by his highness. Your highness, the highness suspects that someone is pushing the flames, slandering his highness and putting pressure on him."

Xiao Ming looks cold. He just asks doctor sun to go back and think about it. It's only a few days, but doctor sun is dead. It's not only Pang Yukun, but he also feels very strange.

"Tell me about it." Xiao Ming is a little irritable. Although he is dissatisfied with doctor sun's inflexibility, no matter how he says that doctor sun is a good doctor, he has ten heartaches when he dies for no reason.

"Doctor sun was highly respected in Qingzhou City. After that, the Confucians in Qingzhou talked a lot about it. They pointed out that his Highness's Bowen college was heresy. What they said was that his Highness's Bowen college broke the rules, violated the laws of the ancestors, violated the principles of heaven, and was extremely rebellious."
