Just one copper mine has been discovered, and we still have other copper mines that can be mined. The copper ore in this slum is about to be used up, so you need to transport new ones as soon as possible."
Xu Fengchu said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Lord!"
Tian Wenzhong said in a deep voice.
After Tian Wenzhong left, a burly young man appeared behind Xu Fengchu. His eyes were cold, staring in the direction Tian Wenzhong left.
"Lord, do you need me to deal with him?"
Song Xiaofeng said in a deep voice.
"This person is still useful if I keep him, but it's Lin Fan who might ruin my big business."
Xu Fengchu said in a deep voice.
What he wants is for the world to be stable but corrupt. Because of Lin Fan, the world is getting better and better now, and the people can have enough food and clothing for the first time. How can he succeed in his rebellion?
Song Xiaofeng said coldly: "Since the Lord thinks that Lin Fan will do bad things, I will go and get rid of Lin Fan."
"Be careful. Lin Fan's martial arts are extremely strong. Otherwise, he would not have become the Emperor Wuhou of the Ming Dynasty at such a young age."
Xu Fengchu said in a deep voice.
Xu Fengchu was very disdainful of Lin Fan's title at first. He thought it was because Emperor Chongzhen was too cowardly. However, Lin Fan's various performances showed that he was worthy of this position.
Song Xiaofeng accepted the order and left the untouchable den.
Although this slum is high in the middle and low on both sides, it is within a canyon after all, and because the people inside are untouchables, they are not allowed to go out at will.
Therefore, on both sides of the slums, there are water pools filled by eunuchs. If the untouchables want to get out and business travelers want to get in, they need to take a boat.
However, Song Xiaofeng climbed directly out of the cliff, which shows that this person is very skilled. After leaving the canyon, Song Xiaofeng headed towards the capital.
In the Lin Mansion, Lin Fan was explaining some agricultural knowledge to Xu Xing. In the 21st century, this knowledge can actually be understood by children.
But in this era, this knowledge is hard to come by. Xu Xing was like a baby waiting to be fed, listening carefully to Lin Fan's teachings.
"Master, someone from Xi'an is here, saying they are bringing you something."
Lin Fu came and told Lin Fan that someone was coming from Xi'an.
It was someone sent by Zhang Liang. Lin Fan thought that he had asked businessmen from Xi'an to collect plant seeds all over the world. Could he have brought them back?
Lin Fan hurriedly went to see the man, who was a member of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. When he saw Lin Fan, he knelt on the ground and said, "Sir, these things were sent to me by General Zhang."
Lin Fan took the things and opened them and saw some pepper seeds. These were only introduced during the Qing Dynasty, but were not available during the Ming Dynasty.
However, although pepper is an important ingredient for future generations, it cannot solve the problem of food and clothing. Lin Fan collected the pepper seeds first and asked: "Is there anything else Zhang Liang wants you to bring?"
"Sir, General Zhang also has a message, saying that merchants in Xi'an City purchased a large amount of grain overseas. The quantity is so huge that I can't imagine what you mean, sir."
The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry replied.
The quantity is so huge that it is unimaginable...
These people couldn't have purchased tens of millions of tons of grain. Although having more grain is a good thing, if there is too much grain, it is also a burden!
"You go back and tell Zhang Liang that no matter how much food you have, I will take it as ordered, but it is only for this time. Please tell them not to buy so much in the future."
Lin Fan said.
"Ahem! Sir, there are three hundred tons of food, we can't afford it!"
The soldiers of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry replied.
"Three hundred tons! The quantity is indeed a bit too much. I remember that part of the income from the entertainment cities opened in various places is given to me. Do they have no income after so many days?"
Lin Fan said doubtfully.
"Reporting to your lord, all this income has been used by General Zhang to fill the vacancy of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. What is left is not enough to buy food."
The tiger and leopard knight replied.
"Okay, let Zhang Liang collect the grain first. As for the money, I owe them first. The credibility of this Wuhou is here, so they don't need to worry."
Lin Fan said.
"Yes! Sir!"
The tiger and leopard knights took the order, turned around and left.
Lin Fan went back with pepper seeds and told Xu Xing that the thing was called pepper and it was an auxiliary ingredient.
"Sir, you also said that this food is spicy and tastes unacceptable to ordinary people, so the value of this auxiliary ingredient will be greatly reduced!"
Xu Xing said in a deep voice.
"I'm just talking about its taste. It's spicy, but when used in stir-fries, it can improve the taste of the dishes a lot, and it has the effect of repelling cold!"
"Some people who are suffering from wind-cold make soup with this substance. Just cover it with a quilt and sleep with it for one night. The wind-chill can be cured by half. Eating more of this substance in winter can also keep the body warm and not afraid of the cold."
Lin Fan explained.
When Xu Xing heard that the chili peppers had such miraculous effects, he couldn't help but take a few more glances. Lin Fan planted the chili pepper seeds in the vegetable garden. In a few days, he could see the chili peppers bloom and bear fruit.
In the evening, Nalan Yanran appeared outside the Lin Mansion. She was wearing the clothes of a young eunuch. When she saw Lin Fan, she grabbed Lin Fan's ears and scolded him.
"You! You lived a comfortable life outside, but I suffered a lot in the palace!"
Nalan Yanran said aggrievedly.
"You are just a little devil. Who dares to bully you in the palace?"
Lin Fan said helplessly.
"You still said! Just because I want to marry you, I now study etiquette in the palace every day. I thought you should learn it too, but I heard that you didn't go to Honglu Temple. You are going to make me mad!"
Nalan Yanran said angrily.
Lin Fan was even more speechless. This little girl actually felt aggrieved because of this. He explained: "I am the commander of the Jinyi Guards. I have many things to deal with every day. Naturally, I don't have time to learn that."
"Then if you don't learn, what will I do on the wedding day?"
Nalan Yanran asked.
"The etiquette of marriage is the most complicated for women. We men don't have many etiquette. I will find a way to get through it when the time comes."
Lin Fan said.
"you!"
When Nalan Yanran heard this, she became even more angry. She grabbed Lin Fan and beat him violently. When the servants in the mansion saw this, they all hid far away.
Nalan Yanran struggled for a while, and her stomach began to growl. Lin Fan asked someone to prepare food and eat with Nalan Yanran.
rustle!
Suddenly, Lin Fan heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard. The sound of footsteps was very light, and only Lin Fan's hearing and eyesight could hear it.
"What’s wrong with you?
Why don’t you eat?”
Nalan Yanran asked curiously.
"You eat first, I'll go out to meet someone."
Lin Fan said with a smile.
This man was very good at Qinggong, but he visited Lin Mansion late at night, probably to find him.
