Chapter 552 Emergence of Sugarcane and Discovery of Copper Mines

Xu Jingchang was sleeping with his fifth concubine in his arms. He didn't get up from his concubine's arms until someone knocked on the door, announcing that the sugarcane had sprouted. Liewen.com Ww W. 』Lie Wen. CC

When he arrived, Fang Xing had already finished viewing the nursery base, and was patting the soil on his hands to go back.

"Dehua and so on."

Xu Jingchang jumped off the horse, looked at the sugarcane seedlings and said, "Dehua, don't lie to me, isn't this grass?"

The base is huge, and the cochin captives are looking after the seedlings in the field.

Fang Xing shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Ding, you don't know the grain!"

Sugarcane seedlings are not easy to distinguish, but Fang Xing was reminded, so he didn't show his ugliness.

Xu Jingchang hugged Fang Xing's shoulder affectionately and said, "Dehua, when will you grow up?"

"Over a year."

Fang Xing pretended not to see Xu Jingchang's disappointment, "These seedlings have to be moved to the fields. It will be almost fourteen months, maybe sooner."

"Hey! Looks like I can't wait any longer."

Xu Jingchang said dejectedly: "If you don't go back again, the house will be overwhelmed. Dehua, when are you going back?"

Fang Xing said as he walked, "I have to wait for His Majesty's order. I may not be able to go back this year."

Xu Jingchang yawned and said, "You will definitely be able to go back this year."

"Why?"

Fang Xing pulled his big white horse and asked.

Xu Jingchang looked around to see if there was no one around, and said in a low voice: "Ma Qi was suffocated to death on the road, and Wu Xun in the court thought that the biggest scourge of cochin is gone, so he wanted to come here to have a look!"

Fang Xing squinted his eyes, stroking the big white horse's head, thinking about the twists and turns inside.

As a shame of Zhu Di's ignorance, Ma Qi is doomed not to live in Jinling, Fang Xing and Huang Fu both have a hunch about this.

But someone in Jinling wanted to pick up a bargain, this was beyond Fang Xing's expectation.

"Your Majesty agrees?"

Zhu Zhanji's letter hasn't arrived yet,

So Fang Xing knew nothing about it.

The two got on their horses and walked slowly. Xu Jingchang said disdainfully, "Your Majesty, how could you agree when you see thousands of miles away! You even reprimanded me. I heard that someone has been cut off from their salary."

"It deserves it!"

At this time, Fang Xing had already left the nursery base, and Fang Xing couldn't help cursing: "They are all a group of women, they dare not come when they are in chaos, and they want to grab the benefits when they are stable. Your Majesty should really throw these people to Xinghe and let them Go fight the Tartars."

Xu Jingchang agreed: "Those people think that cochin is easy, but judging from the time I stayed here, cochin is not easy at all."

"First Ma Qi, if it wasn't for the courage of His Highness and you to drag him out, this Jiaozhi would still be a quagmire."

"The second is rebellion. Others can't move as fast as you, and it's even more impossible to kill Ruan Shuai and Chen Jian'an with that amount of people."

"The third is the powerful family. If you dare to touch the powerful family directly, I would dare, but I just didn't expect it."

Xu Jingchang said with a half-smile: "I heard that Li Liang is very proud recently, who is he?"

Fang Xing lazily said: "The wealthy clan of Jiaozhi is the biggest enemy of Ming Dynasty. It's not that you didn't expect it, but you habitually classify those wealthy clans as your own kind. The same kind don't kill each other!"

In the era when the government does not go to the countryside, the wealthy family is the foundation of a country.

They are vested interests, so they will maintain the country that benefits him.

But human nature is greedy, when the desire is too big to be satisfied, they will punch holes in the body of this country, sucking the people's fat and people's ointment...

Finally, there are these people. They lick the blood on their lips, and after a full belch, they turn around and become elegant gentlemen, full of benevolence, morality, loyalty and patriotism.

——At the beginning of human beings, nature is good!

"Fang Xing, why don't you spread your new knowledge here?"

After being reminded by the prince, the Xu family's newly opened academy tragically dissuaded most of the students. Now there are only a few kittens, and he has no interest in intervening.

And Fang Xing's Zhixing Academy doesn't have many people, but it always attracts people's attention, which makes him a little envious.

"Not at the moment."

Fang Xing explained: "Whether it's mathematics or physical chemistry, what Fangxue emphasizes is practicality, but after all, Jiaozhi is not attached to people's hearts. If you want to learn Fangxue, you have to wait at least fifty years later."

Xu Jingchang asked suspiciously, "How powerful is your Fang Xue?"

Xu Jingchang still knows the truth of not being of my race, but Fang Xing is so cautious about teaching Fang Xue, which makes him a little unconvinced.

Fang Xing smiled slightly: "It's just a matter of opinion, let's wait a few years, after the first batch of students come out, everyone will come and verify whether Fang Xing is bragging."

Not to mention Cochin, North Koreans don't even want to learn Fangxue!

In the future, Fang Xing will suggest canceling those so-called 'overseas students'. Unless they are completely merged into Ming Dynasty, they will not even think about learning the knowledge of Han people.

Back at the barracks, Fang Xing saw Fang Ba who he had sent out a long time ago.

Fang Ba looked a little thin, but he looked happy.

"Master, I found it!"

Fang Xing nodded, and then led Fang Ba into his room.

"Have you found the copper mine?"

Fang Ba happily said: "I found it, not only copper mines, but also coal."

Fang Xing took several old miners with him on this southern expedition, and when he arrived at Jiaozhi, he went down to Naturalize Zhili Prefecture to search for mines under the escort of Fang Ba.

He located the naturalized Zhili Prefecture based on the information in the warehouse, and he used a ruler to determine the final location, but even so, Fang Ba still recruited thousands of people to find it, and it took several months before he found it. copper ore.

The coal mines were accidentally discovered in the process.

Jiaozhi has iron ore, and there is no shortage of coal. As long as Zhu Fang can explore and stabilize the steelmaking technology, the development of Jiaozhi in the future will not be a problem.

Fang Xing put away the booklet that recorded the detailed address and mineral distribution, and then remained silent for a long time.

"Come here, I will serve you with pen and ink."

In the end, it was a small knife that came in. This guy grinds the ink too hard, and the ink that he grinds out is horrible.

"roll!"

Fang Xing knew that this kid might be looking for him for something, but he just wanted to write this memorial right now.

Xiao Dao stood by the side with a grin, seeing that Fang Xing was sometimes dignified and sometimes relaxed. It took less than half an hour to write a memorial, and the ink was re-sharpened several times.

Fang Xing picked up the discarded copies and personally lit the fire to burn them.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

Fang Xing checked the memorial several times carefully, and then asked.

The little knife dawdled and said: "Master, I want to go to the south."

"Can't sit still?"

Fang Xing got up and walked out, Xiaodao hurriedly followed.

"Master, I just think that Mr. Wu needs help."

The seizures sent by Wu Yue recently are obviously much less. It is mentioned in the battle report that the noble families in the south seem to have disappeared recently. He and the king are stopping at Xinping Mansion, waiting for news from the scouts and that Li Liang.

Fang Xing went to Huang Fu's place and showed him the memorial.

"Is there a copper mine?"

Huang Fu looked at the memorial and said in surprise, "Dehua, is this accurate?"

Fang Xing pulled his neck with a flat palm, and said with a smile, "Head guarantee."

"This is a great thing!"

Daming needs copper, and there is not enough copper.

And Fang Xing's weapon making plan is also inseparable from copper.
