Chapter 861 Three-year mining rights
Emperor Li delayed for several days and felt that he could not continue, so he came to the Tianyuan Kingdom military camp.
This time he did not bring Chen Yuan, but an elderly man.
The Emperor Li introduced it and everyone realized that the elderly man turned out to be the prime minister of Li.
Prime Minister Zhu's attitude was very gentle and he was extremely respectful to Nangong Yunqi and the others.
Emperor Li said politely: "After I returned, I discussed with all civil and military officials. Everyone agreed to buy the mining rights of the salt lake for gold, but I don't know if there are any restrictions."
Nangong Yunqi knew that Emperor Li would ask this, and said, "There is no restrictions for the time being, but it may be possible in the future. You also know that if we ask you to mine, you will definitely not be able to mine more maliciously."
When Emperor Li asked this question, he might have been scheming to pick salt from the beginning.
Nangong Yunqi will definitely not give a positive answer.
Emperor Li and Zhu Cheng looked at each other.
Prime Minister Zhu said politely: "We have sold so much gold. If we cannot mine it at will, will we lose a little? After all, it will take a long time to sell 100,000 taels of gold by selling salt. We are also working hard to make money. Please ask the Eighth Prince to understand our difficulties."
He now also understood that Li State is no longer the Li State of the past.
When they just entered the Tianyuan Kingdom camp, they took a special look at the soldiers of Tianyuan Kingdom. They were all strong and strong. If they really fought, the Li Kingdom would no longer exist.
They can't let the city be thrown away.
Although Li Kingdom is small now, it at least still exists, which is a relatively good result.
Nangong Yunqi had discussed with Lin Yuzhu before, and Lin Yuzhu understood that it was too urgent to force Li Guo.
So this time they will make a little concession to Li Guo.
Hearing Prime Minister Zhu asking questions according to their expectations, Nangong Yunqi said politely: "Prime Minister Zhu's words are not unreasonable. We naturally know the difficulties of Li Kingdom now. Since we have agreed to your peace, this matter will definitely leave you room for room for you. This is better. We don't care about your mining within three years, but you can only mine the salt lake near your Li Kingdom."
Nangong Yunqi was very serious when he said this.
Prime Minister Zhu also saw that this was probably Nangong Yunqi's biggest concession. If they continued to mess around, they would probably arouse Nangong Yunqi's dissatisfaction.
Emperor Li also knew that this was the best result for them to negotiate.
He sighed and said, "We will send the gold as soon as possible, sign the contract now!"
Nangong Yunqi will definitely not be procrastinating. When the gold is obtained, he can fill the deficit in the treasury and leave some money to improve the lives of the people in the border areas.
After stopping fighting, Lin Yuzhu will be free.
She didn't plan to be idle either, she planned to walk around the newly captured city to see what the lives of the people looked like.
Today, there are more than a dozen cities in the Tianyuan Kingdom, one-third larger than before, which is very good news.
In the tent.
Now there is only the couple, Nangong Yunqi is a little embarrassed: "I'm not at ease when you go alone."
He knew that Lin Yuzhu wanted to go to several cities next to him alone, so he was very worried.
Lin Yuzhu comforted, "Don't worry, I will go with the officers and soldiers with me. I mainly want to see the living habits of these people, and also farming. This Tianyuan Kingdom is sooner or later Qianyu. My mother-in-law can't help him too much. I just want to do something for Qianyu within my ability."
She just wants to do a little more for Qianhe, if one day Qianhe encounters difficulties or troubles in the future.
She can help.
Nangong Yunqi calmed down and had to say that Lin Yuzhu's words made sense.
He also knew that Lin Yuzhu's ability was absolutely fine.
If Lin Yuzhu helps Qianyu, Qianyu's future path will be easier.
Nangong Yunqi said seriously: "I will let Qingyun follow you."
Qingyun has faded away. When Nangong Yunqi was fighting, he would also fight with him, so there is no need to say about his kung fu.
Lin Yuzhu knew that she would not agree, and Nangong Yunqi would definitely not allow her to leave the military camp.
I agreed directly.
"Okay, please arrange the people who protect me. I have looked at all the injured soldiers in the military camp. There is no big problem. Just leave it to Dr. Chen and others. It will probably take several months for you to deal with it here. I will be back in about two or three months."
In the next two days, Nangong Yunqi found ten officers and soldiers with good kung fu, and Qingyun had a total of eleven people to protect Lin Yuzhu.
Meihua knew that Lin Yuzhu was going to leave for the time being, so she was quite reluctant to let her go, but she still asked the boy to travel with Lin Yuzhu to increase her knowledge.
Lin Yuzhu agreed and chose a sunny weather to leave the military camp.
The land of Li Kingdom is still very rich, except for Shengcheng.
Shengcheng exists because of the salt lake.
Most people in the city live on the salt lake. They go to the salt lake to mine salt, and after making money, they go back to Shengcheng to spend money.
There are also many merchants in Shengcheng. Perhaps because there are fewer places nearby that can grow grain, the food in Shengcheng is relatively expensive.
Although the people in the city make money in the salt lake, their consumption is relatively high.
After a while, these people couldn't save any money.
The first one Lin Yuzhu arrived at Shengcheng.
The city is very large and the city is relatively prosperous.
Drinking water depends on well water.
There is a small lake next to the salt lake. When there is no water in Shengcheng, the people in the city will also come here to pull water back.
Lin Yuzhu left the city and wandered around Shengcheng.
The outside of Shengcheng looked yellow sand.
No wonder, the people here have a hard life. Without the salt lake, there would definitely be no one in this place to survive.
Seeing Lin Yuzhu wandering around the city for several times, Qingyun couldn't help but say, "Eighth Princess, have you seen something?"
Lin Yuzhu nodded: "It can be used to control sand and plant trees here. Look at the rolling sand dunes, there were plants growing before."
Dry wooden stakes can be seen everywhere on the sand dunes, and some trees with strong vitality are still alive.
Especially the willow, she saw several plants.
If there is plant growth, it means that this place was not yellow sand before.
The word ecological destruction appeared in Lin Yuzhu's mind.
Qingyun said: "My master said before that Shengcheng was not like this before. It was probably a hundred years ago. It was still a forest here. I heard that because the price of wood was relatively good at that time, many people came here to cut down. Gradually, the firewood here was cut off and finally it turned out like this."
Speaking of this, Qingyun paused for a moment and continued, "It should have been decades ago! Li Kingdom began to mine the salt from the salt lake and also built a city here."
After listening carefully, Lin Yuzhu suddenly realized.
"In the future, you can try to plant trees and improve the land here. The people will not work so hard. The salt lake resources are very good, but what if it continues for a long time? There will always be a day when mining is completed. What should the people here do when the time comes?"
