Inside the ordnance warehouse, a row of twenty cannons lie quietly inside. These cannons are a batch of export-type cannons produced by the military workshop.

"Uncle Emperor, these cannons are customized by King Liang and King Zhao. They will be delivered soon. I am afraid they cannot be sold to Uncle Emperor." Xiao Ming smiled.

King Yong was quite disappointed. Now every vassal king is hoarding firearms to enhance his strength. Compared to this, he is already much behind. Especially when he learned that these cannons were sold to King Liang, he felt even more of a sense of crisis.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Xiao Ming's sale of artillery to King Liang, he understood that this nephew always sold arms if he had money. He even suspected that if the barbarians offered a high price, Xiao Ming would still sell arms if he was the barbarians.

Thinking of this, King Yong's eyes turned, "Nephew, we belong to the royal family, so this business is naturally close and alienated. Why not sell these cannons to the emperor first, and then produce another batch of cannons for him?"

These artillery were deliberately placed in the warehouse by Xiao Ming. In fact, it was not for the preparation of King Liang, but for King Yong to set up a trap, because King Yong's fiefdom was really a treasure land and had abundant mineral resources.

In order to obtain the right to exploit these mineral resources, he had to ask for a bad idea, so he said: "It's not easy for the emperor to want artillery. My nephew will produce another batch of artillery for the emperor. If it really doesn't work, my nephew will allocate a batch of artillery from the army to the emperor."

"Really?" King Yong was overjoyed.

Xiao Ming nodded and said obscurely: "This time King Liang purchased four hundred cannons from this king. How could my nephew take care of the emperor's uncle?"

"Four hundred gates?" King Yong was shocked, and he immediately said: "Nephew, the emperor's uncle has more than the King of Liang, and the emperor's uncle has five hundred gates!"

"Five hundred gates? The Fourth Emperor Uncle, these five hundred gates are not cheap?" Xiao Ming said seriously, "It is said that the imperial uncle's treasury does not cost much money, and these five hundred guns will cost at least six or seven million taels of silver. This..."

King Yong suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Xiao Ming talked about his pain. Now he didn't have much money. He suddenly remembered the last time Xiao Ming asked him to use coal mines to offset artillery, so he said, "My dear nephew, if it really doesn't work, please go to some coal mines?"

After experiencing the shortage of iron ore, Xiao Ming now has deep resentment towards iron ore. Moreover, the steam engine is about to be put into use, and the amount of coal used will also be greatly increased. However, the self-sufficiency mining volume of Dayu Country is obviously unable to satisfy him.

However, he did not want to spend too much manpower on mining, but was preparing to use industrial products to exchange mineral resources to allow other vassal kings to provide ore for themselves.

After all, even if you are under their fiefdom, these mines will still be under their jurisdiction. If you turn aside, you may be taken back at any time.

So he might as well just call the name and use cannons for exchange for ore, so that these vassal kings can become his mine owners. So he said: "Uncle Emperor, my nephew is really powerless, and there are few people in the fiefdom. How come so many people mining? Since the Uncle Emperor sincerely wants to buy cannons, it is better to exchange for coal and iron ore directly."

"Coal and iron ore?" King Yong was a little embarrassed. He said: "Nephew, the emperor has several coal mines, but there are very few iron ore."

The fief of King Yong includes the current Hebei region. In modern times, the iron ore reserves in this place are among the best in China. It is precisely because of this that it has become an iron base. King Yong is really in Baoshan and does not know the true face of Baoshan.

After a smile, Xiao Ming said, "Uncle Uncle has been wrong. There are more subway mines in the Uncle Uncle than coal mines. If the Uncle Uncle Uncle does not believe it, my nephew can help the Uncle Uncle find a few. However, the mining of this iron ore can only be done by the Uncle Uncle himself."

King Yong has always been a person who relies on the mountains and water to eat water. Both coal and iron can be sold for money, so why not? He said excitedly: "My nephew is serious about this?"

"Take it seriously." Xiao Ming said.

King Yong nodded and said, "If the emperor's uncle sent someone to mine as he said, what if he exchanged ore for artillery?"

"The Four Emperors are extremely generous, okay, that's all." Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes. His first plan had been completed. He also tried his best to make the Great Yu Kingdom a resource supply land for Qingzhou.

For this reason, he didn't care whether it was a hostile vassal king. After all, sometimes such relationships similar to countries are hostile and exploited each other.

For example, in modern state relations, while fighting and killing, the private economy is still hot, which is the so-called political and economic hotness.

After deciding on this matter, Xiao Ming carefully calculated the calculations for King Yong. The mineral resources that the five hundred cannons were exchanged for were tantamount to the contemporary 100 million shirts for a Boeing.

In order to buy artillery, King Yong might have completely become a mine owner. At this time, King Chu had become his cotton manor owner and continuously provided cotton for Qingzhou.

After the transaction was completed, Xiao Ming accompanied King Yong to visit Qingzhou for several days. After he saw the changes in Qingzhou, he reluctantly returned to his fiefdom.

After King Yong left, Xiao Ming continued to plan the future of the fiefdom.

For him, the world's resources are limited. If he eats more, others will eat less. So in order to eat more, the problem of eating less is that among countries, the country is constantly dirty.

The prosperity of the contemporary West is based on a high degree of control over the resources of life. Xiao Ming knew this well, so he was preparing to start a journey to make the whole world work for Qingzhou. Now it is his turn to exchange high-tech products for 100 million shirts.

While he was busy planning a resource intake plan, an emergency made the atmosphere in Qingzhou suddenly become solemn.

"Doctor Sun is dead!" When Pang Yukun said this, his expression was solemn.

"Die! How did you die!" Xiao Ming said in shock.

Pang Yukun said: "According to the verification of the government office, it is temporarily certain that Medical Officer Sun was poisoned to death by arsenic. Moreover, it is now rumored that Medical Officer Sun was forced to death by His Highness. Your Highness and the lower Highness suspected that someone had slandered His Highness from it and put pressure on His Highness."

Xiao Ming looked cold, he just asked Medical Officer Sun to go back and think about it. It was only a few days before Medical Officer Sun died. Not only Pang Yukun, he also felt very strange.

"Tell me," Xiao Ming was a little irritable. Although he was dissatisfied with Medical Officer Sun's rigidity, Medical Officer Sun was a good doctor no matter what, and he felt very heartbroken when he died like this for no reason.
