While Li Shimin was visiting Qingzhou, Li Min was doing a lot of construction in Dongzhou.
While others are playing, Li Min is still doing things.
Li Min worked very hard.
On this day, Li Min held a meeting with the core staff of Dongzhou.
Someone raised the issue of the scarcity of iron ore in Dongzhou. This has caused serious delays in the production of some machinery.
So I hope Li Min can think of a better way to solve this problem.
Regarding this issue, Li Min thought that it might be a way to get iron ore from Datang.
But Datang now also needs a large amount of iron ore. If all the large iron ores are moved to Dongzhou, it will cause certain troubles.
But in Dongzhou, I want to mine iron ore, but I currently don't have enough manpower.
In addition, due to the epidemic situation some time ago, he did not dare to transport new personnel from Datang.
Therefore, he encountered a serious test regarding the mining of iron ore.
This problem cannot be solved at present.
Finally, Li Min asked everyone to go back and rest first. Wait until he thinks of the problem.
After everyone leaves.
At this time Li Min received a call.
It was Li Chengqian calling.
Why did this guy call again?
What does he want to do?
He answered the call and suddenly remembered that Li Chengqian was currently in Nanzhou.
It's a great place to produce iron ore, and the iron ore is really pure.
Even better than Dongzhou.
Therefore, he had a plan, maybe asking Li Chengqian to send iron ore to Dongzhou.
He instantly thought of a method.
But then Li Chengqian spoke.
"Sixth brother, how are you doing lately?"
"It's okay, what's wrong? Call me when you have time. Is there something wrong?"
Li Chengqian didn't hide it.
"Yeah, I'm having a little problem," he said.
"what is the problem?"
"Because the population here is growing extremely rapidly. I don't have enough food now. I want to ask you to borrow some food."
"Borrowing food, right? When?"
"During the autumn harvest, the current food can last for about half a year, but as the population grows, it may not be enough. So I want to ask you to borrow some food."
"Let's not talk about whether to borrow or not. Let's negotiate a deal!" Li Min said again.
"What deal are you talking about?"
"There are a lot of iron ores in Nanzhou. It's close to the edge of the sea. You can exchange the iron ore with me for food."
"That's it?"
"Of course, what do you think?"
"That's okay! I have a lot of idle labor right now and they have nothing to do. Just let them mine iron ore."
Li Min instantly felt that this Tianzhu man was really talented.
So many people were born in just a few years.
Or does Li Chengqian bring enough people?
Otherwise, how could reproduction be so fast?
Maybe it's because of their relationship with the local aborigines.
But that's not important anymore. What's important is that he wants iron ore now.
A large amount of iron ore can continue the development of Dongzhou.
"Okay, where are you now?" Li Min asked.
"How can I tell you where I am? I'm in Nanzhou, but do you know my specific location?"
Li Chengqian said so.
But he was wrong. Li Min had a way to locate his position.
Because there are satellites of the Shengtang Group in the sky, as long as Li Yin is willing, he will definitely be able to get information about Li Chengqian's location.
Therefore, Li Min asked: "What generation is the mobile phone you are using?"
"Those beginning with three."
"Okay, let me take a look!" Li Min said.
At this time Li Chengqian was shocked, so what did Li Min want to do.
What to see?
Do you want to see where your own people are?
Until Li Min said: "Your current place is on the east side of Nanzhou. There is an iron mine there. It is very big. I want you to build a dock nearby. My ship will arrive in half a month. Can you do it?" "
When Li Min said this, Li Chengqian was really shocked.
"Can you see where I am?"
Li Chengqian asked doubtfully.
"Yes, I can see it, because our mobile phones have developed to a certain extent." Li Min said.
In fact, he is connected to the entire Datang network. As long as he is willing, his browser can collect all location information.
Now he saw where Li Chengqian was.
He could also use satellites to take photos of Li Chengqian.
"I don't believe it. You're not bluffing me, are you?" Li Chengqian said again.
"Do I need this? We each get what we need, isn't that enough?"
"To each his own? You have to convince me. Otherwise I won't believe you."
Li Chengqian said again.
"Okay, wait, I'll send you a photo." Li Min said again.
After a while, a satellite photo was sent to Li Chengqian's mobile phone.
When he saw the picture, he froze there and then turned around, trying to find out who was secretly filming him.
But he couldn't, because the satellite was so high in the sky that he had no way of seeing it.
"You, how did you do that?"
Li Chengqian asked again.
"Is that important?" Li Min said instead.
"I thought I could catch up with you, but I didn't expect that your development made me feel how powerful you are." Li Chengqian said.
"If you want to live, just stay in Nanzhou. No one will do anything bad to you."
Li Min said so.
"Sixth brother, sixth brother, I can't see through you more and more." Li Chengqian said again, it's true, he can't see through Li Min more and more, let alone the Shengtang Group.
He never imagined that a small Shengtang Group could become so powerful now.
This was beyond his knowledge.
This is the strength of Li Min.
"Let's not talk too much, can you just say it's okay? Build the dock quickly, and then my big ship will go there. My big ship can carry a lot of goods. Of course, I will also have people send some food there, with you In exchange, I haven’t harvested my food yet, but don’t worry, after the harvest, I won’t miss you at all.”
If it were before, Li Chengqian might not believe it, but now, Li Chengqian believes it.
Because Li Min could get his location, which meant it was possible to kill him directly from a distance.
This is where Shengtang Group excels.
And he can't do anything.
Since Li Min wants to exchange for iron ore, then give it to him.
He believed that he could definitely get food in exchange.
"Sure! Let's reach an agreement like this."
"By the way, there is one thing I want to tell you."
"you say."
"I think your population is increasing too fast. If you want to develop quickly, your population must be limited. Only when resources are abundant can your various industries develop. Otherwise, population will only become a drag on you."
"Oh, are you teaching me how to do things?" Li Chengqian said instead.
"I'm telling the truth. Believe it or not, I don't want to give you any advice. I just hope you don't fall too far behind, that's all."
"Don't worry, I won't be too far behind, and I will surpass you." Li Chengqian said.
Li Min smiled.
It is impossible to surpass himself. Does Li Chengqian know how much information Shengtang Group has?
Shengtang Group still has a lot of things that it has not yet come up with.
If he wants to surpass himself, that is just a fool's errand.
But people must have dreams, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish?
So Li replied: "Yes, I hope you can have more than me one day."
"That day won't be too far away. I believe there will be one day." Li Chengqian said again.
"I believe you. Okay, you work hard and pass me quickly. I'm done."
Li Min hung up the phone.
Then he picked up the phone again: "Zhang Wei, come here."
Soon Zhang Wei came up.
At this time, Zhang Wei stayed in Dongzhou and did not go back because of the last epidemic, and his presence also helped build the Dongzhou Shipyard.
It happened that Li Min needed some ships, so he asked Zhang Wei to come up.
"Sir, what do you want from me?" Zhang Wei asked.
"I'll give you a position. How about you let someone drive a ship to Nanzhou to haul iron ore there?"
Why is it a ship? It's because of Li Chengqian's place. He can't deposit all the treasures to Li Chengqian's place to prevent Li Chengqian from causing trouble.
Therefore, we went to one first. After all, the Tianzhu people were not very trustworthy.
"Yes sir."
"Also, the boat going to them should not be too high-end, do you understand what I mean?"
Li Min wanted to be on guard against Li Chengqian and would not give it to a ship that was too high-end.
Because there is no need, if Li Chengqian is given a ship that is too high-end, they may invade it.
"Then let's use the technology from five years ago?" Zhang Wei asked.
"I have an idea, please listen to it."
"Yes, sir, please say it!"
"What do you think about setting up a transit point in the ocean, where ships with previous technology can depart from there, carry goods there, and be transported back by our advanced ships?"
"It's feasible. In this case, we won't be afraid of technology leakage." Zhang Wei said.
In fact, Li Min is still on guard against Li Chengqian.
Why?
Because his population is increasing too fast, his development may accelerate one day, and he has to put some pressure on him and not let him act recklessly.
After all, Li Chengqian's character is not very good.
"Then do this. When can your boat come out?"
"We have existing ships that can depart from Taizhou."
Zhang Wei said.
“The technology there is from five or six years ago, or even older.”
"Okay, let's start from there. You make the arrangements."
"clear!"
"What else can you do, sir?" Zhang Wei asked again.
"No, just this one thing, you have to do this well and hurry up, you know? We are short of iron ore now, and this iron ore cannot be stopped."
"Understood." After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he said, "Why don't you use ours?"
"Ours doesn't have enough manpower to mine it, and it's not as pure as theirs. Refining it can save a lot of processes."
Li Min said so.
"Yes, sir, I understand. Then I will make arrangements now."
"Okay, go ahead."
Zhang Wei then left to make arrangements.
Li Min received another call from Di Renjie.
"What's wrong with Di Renjie?" Li Min asked.
"Sir, the train has been sent to Qingzhou. His Majesty has no plans to come back yet. However, during this trip, he was very satisfied with our train and even used the court's TV station to broadcast it. He also made some suggestions."
Di Renjie said so.
"Are his suggestions constructive?" Li Min asked.
"Some do, some don't."
"Then just listen to him, and just ignore him if he doesn't. Also, we can let the people of Chang'an City sit for free, but they need to provide suggestions. In this way, we can do better!"
"Understood sir, I will make arrangements."
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"Sir, that..."
Di Renjie seemed to have something to say.
"I know what you are going to say. Come on, you can go to Dongzhou when Master Sun develops the medicine."
Yes, Li Min wants Di Renjie to come to Dongzhou, because sometimes he is too busy alone, but it will be different if Di Renjie is there.
I can even go back to Chang'an to work.
Dongzhou was dealt with by Di Renjie.
But he will still choose to travel between places.
Let’s look at the specific situation.
But for now, he won't leave.
"Then I'll ask Master Sun how the situation is."
Di Renjie said excitedly.
He really wants to go to Dongzhou instead of staying here in Chang'an.
Because the development there in Dongzhou can make him more challenging.
People are like this. If you do something for a long time, it will become boring.
And if it is in Dongzhou, Di Renjie will show off his talents, even better than Li Min.
Li Min naturally wanted him to do well.
It's really wonderful to have him as an assistant.
Of course, he will also look for new people.
Especially talented people. In the future, Shengtang Group will be managed by them, and they can enjoy the results without doing anything.
Wouldn't that be better?
Of course, he will also keep pace with the times and provide some more advanced suggestions.
It is even possible to return to your own parallel world.
When technology develops to a certain level, it may be possible.
"Okay, then go ahead and ask. If you have any questions, please contact me directly."
"Okay, sir, I'm just afraid it will be too late and I don't dare to disturb you."
"It's okay, I'll be there."
Li Min said.
It is true that he has been working at a high intensity for a period of time and has very little time to sleep every day. Therefore, he wants Di Renjie to come to Dongzhou to help him plan.
"Okay, sir, I understand. I have nothing else to do. That's all for now. I'm going to find Master Sun." Di Renjie looked particularly happy.
But in fact, if Sun Simiao wants to develop a drug, it will probably take less than half a year, because the disease is so mysterious that even the Shengtang Group's scientific and technological power cannot develop it so quickly.
But what to say, as long as there is hope, no matter how much time it takes, so what.
The research will be completed one day.
This disease will be cured one day.
"Okay, let me know if you have any questions!"
Then Li Min hung up the phone.
Continue to arrange things about Dongzhou.
He found that if he developed a city or a region by himself, it would be difficult to grow exponentially, just like becoming an emperor.
If it was just one town, then he would have nothing to do in a day, but if there were N towns, it would be different.
Therefore, he concluded that being an emperor was not that easy.
It seems that Li Shimin is not very happy either.
