Huating County has been busy since the arrival of Liu Renyuan and others.
According to Luo Zhang's intention, this place will be built into a seaport larger than Quanzhou Port.
After all, it is his own fiefdom, so he has to do it well, and Luo Zhang also wants to develop this place, which will have a lot of money in the future!
After the county magistrate mobilized the people to move, Liu Renyuan conveyed a message to the county magistrate, that is, he would recruit all the strong laborers in the county to build the port, and not only provide money but also provide food.
This is simply pie in the sky for the common people who face the loess and turn their backs to the sky.
For a time, the entire Huating County people responded one after another, and even half-grown men came running, making Liu Renyuan dumbfounded.
While Huating County was gearing up for a big fight, Du Shuang and Liu Rengui had already completed their supplies and continued southward with their fleet.
Although Huating County needs to be built, the eradication of pirates is equally important.
However, just one day after they set off, Liu Renyuan received a flying pigeon message from Li Yifu.
When he saw the contents of Fei Ge's message, his expression changed.
"It's not Changsun Wuji's warship? It's not from Japan or Goguryeo, but it's actually from that big Western country you mentioned? Are they actually able to cross that far to come to our country, the Tang Dynasty?" Liu Renyuan murmured while looking at the message in the letter. Said to himself.
"No, Du Shuang and the others don't know the news yet. Sir, please be careful. Obviously these people are difficult to deal with."
At that moment, Liu Renyuan could not sit still, so he hurriedly called his men and wrote a letter, asking him to take a boat to chase Liu Rengui and the others. Fortunately, they had only left for a day, and they should be able to chase them alive if they were faster. superior!
Although he was worried in his heart, Liu Renyuan wanted to see how powerful that Western power was, but he couldn't live without it, so he could only sigh helplessly.
In Chang'an, in Changsun's mansion, Changsun Wuji was talking to the elder.
"Any news about those people?" Changsun Wuji asked.
"We have news. According to the explanation they gave us, we were caught in a storm a few days ago and took refuge on an island in Japan. We haven't come back since." The elder said with a sigh of relief.
Changsun Wuji also nodded. Although it would not be a big problem to find another group of Dongting Lake pirates to control the ships, it would take a lot of time. It would be best if there were no problems.
"Then the massacre of the village in the southeast has nothing to do with them?" Changsun Wuji continued to ask.
"I sent people to check and received the things they seized. There are no traces of those villages, and there were many Japanese women on the boat. I guess they didn't lie!" the elder explained.
"Then that's strange. It's not them. I also asked Japan and Goguryeo, and they didn't send any ships either. Who could they be?" Changsun Wuji said with some confusion.
"Forget it, as long as it's not our ship, you should find a way to transport those wooden lumps away as soon as possible and hand them over to those people. I always feel uneasy these days!" Changsun Wuji warned.
"Okay, I will have the wooden lumps transported to the south today!" The great elder nodded and agreed.
"Is the construction of our armor weapons going well?"
"It went well. That batch of ore has solved an urgent need. I'm afraid it won't be long before we can make thousands of weapons and armors!" The elder said this with a hint of excitement.
"No rush, no rush, just count the days. His Majesty will definitely go on an expedition to Goguryeo next spring. That's when we take action. I'm going to have a good talk with the prince in these days. If he doesn't have that intention, we can take advantage of it and kill Wei as soon as possible. Wang Litai came to find him and put him on the throne!" Changsun Wuji said with a sneer.
"But it would be great if we could get that exotic mineral in our hands. Thousands of new weapons and armors may seem like a lot, but in fact they are still not enough!" the elder said slowly.
"Don't act rashly for now. If Luo Zhang is forced to dedicate the mine to Li Shimin, it will not be easy for us to do it again!" Changsun Wuji raised his hand and said.
Just when the two of them were talking about this topic, the housekeeper hurriedly ran in and said to Changsun Wuji: "Master, I just got the news that the mine...that foreign mine has an army of Youwu Guards stationed there. Well, there are still many royal families worshiping..."
"What? The Youwu Guards army is stationed, and there are royal families to worship?" Not only did the elder's face change slightly, Changsun Wuji also turned pale.
"Master, look at this..." the elder looked at Changsun Wuji and said.
"Hold still!" Changsun Wuji said word by word.
The great elder also shook his head, that was all. They didn't expect Luo Zhang to hand over the exotic ore like this. He had never handed it over before, and now he is offering it. Could it be that they pushed him into a hurry?
After the housekeeper left, Changsun Wuji rubbed his forehead and felt a little headache. This Luo Zhang didn't act according to common sense at all, disrupting all his plans.
If Li Shimin gets the exotic mineral, wouldn't he be able to create new weapons and armor?
Fortunately, even if he obtains the exotic ore, the new weapons and armor created by Li Shimin will only be used on the expedition to Goguryeo, so there will not be many obstacles for him, otherwise he would really have a headache!
"Is there any news about the poisonous spider that day?" Changsun Wuji didn't want to talk about the exotic mine anymore, and instead asked what the old poisonous man wanted.
If the world is to be taken, immortality is also to be taken. If you don’t take that step, how can you increase your longevity?
If your lifespan does not increase, what will happen if you gain the world? In the end, it’s not just a handful of loess!
And the handbook of True Yuan Realm cultivation in Lao Duwu's hand is something he must get. With that thing, there is no telling that he will be able to take that step.
Of course, Changsun Wuji also made second-hand preparations, that is, if he could not break through, he would force Luo Zhang and ask Luo Zhang to take him to Penglai Immortal Island.
Penglai Immortal Island must have the elixir to become an immortal. With the elixir, you can also break through and achieve the innate realm, or even a higher realm.
A few days passed by. Luo Zhang felt a lot more relaxed after handing over the ferrosilicon ore. He would go to Yanlai Building every day and then go to Yushan to see it. Now that it was taken over by him, he naturally took a liking to it. Patrol.
Of course, in addition to inspecting Yushan, Luo Zhang would also go to see the corn and other things he planted. These things are growing well and will probably be ready next year.
Chang'an was calm for a short time, but on an unnamed island in the southeast, a fleet of ships was heading towards Quanzhou Port, the largest port in the southeast of the Tang Dynasty.
If Luo Zhang saw this fleet, he would definitely recognize that these large triangular sailing ships were Arab ships!
The people standing on the boat were also Arabs with turbans and big beards that the Tang Dynasty had never come into contact with.
If he saw this group of people, Luo Zhang would probably be shocked, because this would greatly advance the historical time that Luo Zhang knew.
