Looking After a Battle God With Hundreds of Billions in Supplies

  Chapter 625 If you have money, ask for more

  In order to make the workers live more comfortably, Su Wei asked people to build rows of wooden houses around the mine. There is a pit for burning charcoal in the middle of each wooden house, so that they will not catch cold when burning charcoal at night.

   Mining is all manual work. In order to ensure that the workers in the mine have sufficient energy every day, Su Yu did not treat them badly in terms of food. At least one meal a day must be meat.

   "It's cold, the city lord is going to eat while it's hot." Hu Wei personally brought all the food to Su Yun.

  The dish is not complicated, just a stewed pork skin and radish.

  Su Yu was not picky about what to eat, so he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat in big mouthfuls.

   "Are we growing enough crops now?"

  Before they opened up a lot of wasteland, but Cheng Ming said that it may be due to geographical and climate problems, and the grain output is not high.

"It wasn't enough in the first year, but the sales of the pills we made were very good. After selling the pills, we used money to buy food and it was almost enough. But now the number of people in the city is gradually increasing, and the shortage of food will continue to increase.”

   That is to say, the people in Tiankui City have not been able to achieve complete self-sufficiency.

   This is indeed a problem. If the people in a city can’t fill their stomachs, what will happen if there are more people in the future?

  You can’t keep them all the time, this is not a healthy and long-term development trend.

   "Buying grain is easy to be shackled by others." Liang Zi from the Southern Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom has already formed an alliance with them. If one day the other party's trading channels are blocked, it will be very difficult for them.

  Chu State can do it, but the most important part of people's livelihood is still safer to hold in your own hands.

   "Wait until the end of winter in a few days, then let Cheng Ming open up wasteland, open up all the wasteland that can be opened up, and let the wasteland be privately owned, so that the people in the city will be more motivated."

"yes."

   On the other side, the news of Xie Rui's arrest quickly reached Queen Jin.

  The queen of Jin almost jumped out of the chaise longue after reading the news.

A while ago, she had a conflict with Xie Rui because of his divorce with Xiang Hualan. Later, Xie Rui went out of the city in the name of studying abroad. She wanted to let him go, otherwise he really thought that he could do anything wrong if his wings were hardened. .

   It's just that she never thought that Xie Rui would be so courageous that he went to the Northern Wilderness.

  The queen's fingertips were trembling with anger. Xie Rui was her only son and the eldest son of the emperor. He was the most likely person to inherit the throne. He went crazy and ran to that deserted ghost place to do something.

The old mother picked up the letter thrown on the ground by the queen, and she was shocked after reading it. She quickly threw the letter into the brazier beside her, and came behind the queen to rub her shoulders to comfort her. His Highness, come back."

  If something happened to Xie Rui, then the empress would have been busy all these years in vain.

"Go and send a message to father and the others immediately, and let them find out what the **** this Northern Wilderness is. The people inside are so bold and dare to touch me, Rui'er, let father and the others find a way, and they must take Rui'er no matter what. Bring it back safely."

   "Yes, ma'am, don't worry, the old slave will go and spread the word."

  Jin State, Prime Minister's Mansion.

  When the Queen received the news from her cronies, the Prime Minister's Mansion also received it.

  The prime minister read the letter, but the corners of his eyes sank, but those who knew him well knew that he was angry.

  The eldest prince's idea is also too big, if he runs to the Northern Wilderness without telling them, isn't he afraid that he will never return?

  After getting the news, the prime minister ordered his sons to be called back.

  Everyone rushed over, hearing what Xie Rui had done, they frowned so much that they could kill flies.

"Father, don't be too angry. His Highness must also want to take down the mine over there, but he didn't think it through so thoroughly." The prime minister's eldest son has a gentle personality. Seeing that everyone dared not say a word, he stood up first to ease the atmosphere. .

   "There is really a mine in that ghostly place in the Northern Wasteland, and it's still an iron mine. Father, it wouldn't be a bad thing if the iron mine can really be acquired."

  In the state of Jin, any mineral resources are also owned by the state, but if the mine is outside of the state of Jin, it will be different. When they take it as their own, who will know?

   "Judging from the contents of the letter, there is a mine designation, and the most urgent thing to do is to ensure the safety of the First Prince."

   After the prime minister finished speaking, he looked at the third son in a blink of an eye, "Third son, send the message over there now, and then immediately go there, no matter what method you use, rescue him first."

  Hearing this, Zhou Wei got up and said, "Don't worry, father, son knows what to do."

   "Father, who the **** is in this northern wilderness, how dare they hijack my prince of Jin!"

   Zhou Cheng didn’t know much about that side, “A group of exiled people may have any concerns, but since they can make a condition once, they can have a second time. Saving people is the most important thing.”

"yes."

   "This matter must not be known to others, so that the empress will not show her feet."

   "My son understands."

Prime Minister Zhou's three sons, the third son, Zhou Wei, did not become an official but went out to do business. In order not to make the emperor afraid, his business territory is mostly outside the capital of the country, especially the border areas around the Jin country. It is better to understand than the rest of the Zhou family over there, and it is more convenient to act.

Before Zhou Wei left the Prime Minister's Mansion, he sent a letter to Xie Rui's cronies, asking him to find a way to ensure Xie Rui's personal safety, and let the people in the Northern Wilderness know that it is useful to save Xie Rui's life. It's time to save lives.

   After receiving Zhou Wei's letter, Lord Wang thought about it and decided to send the letter to his own people, but he didn't know that those people would be able to receive it.

  The people who were brought back by Qiao Yang gave a full account of the details after being put in prison, and Qiao Yang and the others also learned the contact information of the two parties.

  As soon as Su Yu came back from the mine, Qiao Yang took the news from Mr. Wang to her to ask for credit.

   "Look, city lord, what does this letter mean?"

Su Yu took the letter and looked at it. Master Wang stated in the letter that it was bitter cold in the northern wilderness. He was worried that Xie Rui and his people would not be able to bear it here, so he started to prepare a batch of winter clothes and asked Xie Rui if If necessary, he will send someone to deliver it immediately.

   "The people over there were suspicious of us last time, how could they be so stupid as to send some winter clothes here?"

  Su Yan raised his head and glanced at Qiao Yang, this kid finally had a bright mind.

   "This is testing."

   "The city owner said that they want to make sure that Xie Rui is still alive?"

"It's very possible. It seems that we still didn't have enough things last time. Go, ask Xie Rui to write back to them and tell him to send the winter clothes, and prepare some more cotton." Since they have a lot of things, she will ask for more. .
