Feng is a very famous place, especially in ancient times, which is even more famous.

As for why you are famous, almost everyone knows it, no need to repeat it.

I really didn’t expect that there are not only iron ore and copper ore in Fengdu, but also a lot of coal mines.

What's even more coincidental is that this place still belongs to Zhongzhou.

In other words, this is Ma Qiancheng's sphere of influence, and the Ma family and Qin family are the largest wealthy families at this moment.

Just in time, it is here to smelify copper and iron to create a new logistics base!

You should know that the copper content of copper ore is quite low. Generally, it is good to refine more than one pound of copper ore by 100 kilograms of copper ore. Naturally, it is impossible for the red vessel to transport copper ore back from Chongqing, Luzhou, Xuzhou and Bozhou thousands of miles to refine.

This not only wastes transportation capacity, but also makes things easy.

Just kidding, the court is not a blind man. He transports copper ore to Nanyang for hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilograms a month. The court will definitely discover it.

Therefore, he had to choose a place as a new logistics base in Chongqing, Luzhou, Xuzhou and Bozhou.

Fengdu is the best location, because it is close to Ma Qiancheng's nest, and there is a lot of coal mines here, so there is no need to transport coal from other places.

That afternoon, hundreds of white-rod soldiers suddenly appeared at Fengdu Wharf. Without saying a word, they drove everyone on the wharf away, and then guarded the wharf tightly, as if they were going to welcome some big shots.

To be honest, they did this seriously violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty. It was a joke. Without the Ministry of War, they sent troops to block the docks at will, wanting to rebel!

If ordinary Dusi Tunwei dares to do this, the Fengdu County Magistrate will come over and scold them immediately.

However, no one dared to say anything when Bai Gan Bing did this. The Fengdu County Magistrate didn't even dare to take a look.

Just kidding, the two chieftains An Bangyan and She Chongming have both rebelled now. The rest are Shizhu chieftains with the strongest strength. Who dares to provoke them?

Not long after, hundreds of strange wheel boats moved to the dock one after another, and the white-rod soldiers jumped onto the dock like dumplings. The number was at least three to four thousand.

What big shot is coming? It's such a big scene?

The people of Fengdu want to know, but they dare not go over the problem. Bai Gan Bing is not a vegetarian. If they dare to get close to see, it would be strange if they don’t beat them up.

After thousands of white-rod soldiers arrived ashore and arranged the formation, the big man finally got off the last ship.

This big man is naturally the crazy king Zhu Qi. He doesn't want to be seen, so he asked Bai Gan Bing to clear the field.

This time, only Ma Qiancheng and Bi Maokang were accompanying him. As for the others, they were all guarding the Chongqing Prefecture City. After all, She Chongming's main force is still there at this moment. Who knows if this guy suddenly gave up Chengdu and came back to Chongqing.

After everyone got off the boat, they did not stop at the dock. Ma Qiancheng immediately took Zhuqiu and Bi Maokang to Fengdu copper mine.

In fact, Fengdu copper mine is not very big, and it is not even as big as Tongbai copper mine in Nanyang. Due to the corruption of the mining supervisor and the strict investigation of Qingliu, the copper mine here has long been blocked and no one has mined it at all.

At this moment, there was not even a guard outside the mine, and it was abandoned there, deserted.

Zhu Qizhua took everyone around the mine, then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's very good. It's just that the place is abandoned and no one mines, which saves a lot of trouble. My father-in-law, you arrange a hundred elite soldiers to guard here. In two days, I will order people to escort 500 prisoners to come to the mining."

Upon hearing this, Ma Qiancheng was still worried and said, "Prince, although this place is abandoned and no one cares about it, the magistrate and the magistrate often send people to check it out. Once they find that we are mining here, they will definitely report to the court and sue us."

Zhu Qizhe rolled his eyes and said, "What are you afraid of? Why do you just collect some copper mines? The court may not be sure, clear the millions of taels that you owe you, send the food and salary of tens of thousands of troops. If you don't pay the millions of taels, don't you give the food and salary, just dig it up, dig it crazy. The court must dare to send people to take care of it. If you just drive the people back, you'll be done."

Problem, I'm not as crazy as you!

Ma Qiancheng was still a little worried and said, "Can this work?"

Zhu Qizhu said a little arrogantly: "If you can't drive it away, just beat it, let the court know that you have a temper."

this?

I don't mean that, okay!

OK, OK, I've all come to this point and I can only go crazy with you.

Ma Qiancheng didn't say anything else, and just took Zhuqiu and looked at several abandoned iron ore and coal mines.

Not to mention, there are so many coal mines here, from Fengdu, Shizhu to Zhongzhou, along the Yangtze River, there is a long mountain range, and I don’t know how many coal mines there are.

This place is simply great!

Even Zhejiang and Sichuan are not as good as this place.

There are not many large rivers near Zhejiang and Sichuan. If he wants to take a boat, he has to ride a horse to Yunyang first.

And it's different here, the Yangtze River is right next to it.

At this moment, his maneuverability is mainly water, not land. The chess boats are even more powerful than war horses, because the chess horses will be tired and you have to rest after running for an hour or two. The chess boats can drive as long as there is coal.

He even wondered whether he would build a nest here as well.

You know, he is doing a rebellious business, and maybe when will Nanyang be unable to stay anymore, he has to leave a way out for himself.

This Bashu is the best way to retreat. Throughout the dynasties, countless people have relied on Bashu's wealth to seize the world. This place is a famous place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as you strangle a few Shu roads, it is difficult to break even if you concentrate the power of the Yuan and Jiangnan.

Moreover, from Fengdu, Shizhu to Zhongzhou, not only was it stuck on the path to enter Shu in the east, but it was also the old nest of his father-in-law Ma Qiancheng. It can be said that this is the best way to retreat in the world.

Zhu Qizhai became more and more satisfied and more happy. After walking around the river for a long time, he suggested going to his father-in-law Ma Qiancheng's territory and Shizhu Xuanwei Department to take a look.

Ma Qiancheng naturally had no objection. The son-in-law has all gone to Zhongzhou, so it would be impossible not to take it home to see it.

He casually chose a path to the west and walked into the mountain with red utensils.

It was all his territory. Every few miles of the vast mountains, there was a Tujia village. When you entered the mountains, you seemed to follow the nest of the Baigang soldiers, and there were people everywhere wearing similar services to the Baigang soldiers.

Moreover, the people here are very respectful to Ma Qiancheng. Whenever they arrive at a cottage, someone will serve fresh tea and fruits, which is extremely attentive.

Along the way, Zhu Qizhu has strengthened his determination to leave a way out here.
