Wulin Tyrant

Chapter 234 Mine, Mine, All Mine!

Two days later, Li Bin took Wei Yawei, the steward of Futu Gate, followed by Xue Ying, and rode his horse straight to Mingde Mansion, the "City of Porcelain" in Shannan Province.

With his disciple Qian Yucai's words to tell him the truth, Li Bin made up his mind to go to Mingde Mansion, the "porcelain capital of Daqi", to work hard to develop Mingde's porcelain industry and provide himself with more porcelain of better quality.

"Yawei, is the iron mine here the largest and best iron mine in Daqi as you said?" Li Bin asked, looking at the miners who kept coming in and out of the cave not far away.

"Yes, Master. The quality of Shannan's iron ore has always been the best among our Daqi iron mines." Disciple Wei Yawei responded.

"Have you estimated? How much silver taels is needed to buy the iron ore here?" With the continuous expansion of the sect's disciples, the demand for weapons surged, and Li Bin was planning to expand the Futumen's weapon shop, which required a large amount of iron ore that passed the test. Only stone can.

"Master, I don't know how much this iron mine is worth, but when I was the steward of the Beijing official's family, his younger brother took advantage of his position as a Beijing official to buy an iron mine in Jiangbei Province. 10 taels of silver. However, the iron content of the iron ore mined from his iron mine is too low and there are too many impurities. "

Li Bin thought: "An iron mine with low-quality iron ore needs 10 taels of silver, so Shannan, which is known as the highest-quality iron mine in Daqi, needs 10 taels of silver anyway."

"Let's go! This is the mining area, and idlers are not allowed to enter casually!" Several mine guards stopped Li Bin's master and apprentice's horses, and shouted loudly while staring at Li Bin's master and apprentice with vigilant expressions.

"Tell your miners to come out if something happens." Li Bin said loudly.

"Who are you? Is it possible that you can see us as soon as you say you want to see us? Get out early!" The captain of the mine guard looked impatient.

Just when Li Bin was blocked outside the mining area, a team of horse-drawn carts loaded with iron ore slowly drove out of the mining area.

Passing by Li Bin, there were at least fifty carriages full of iron ore.

"Mr. Ye, there will be fifty carts of ore tomorrow, and I have all the quantities requested by Prime Minister Qi. I hope Mr. Ye will say a nice word in front of Prime Minister Qi for his sake." A short, fat middle-aged man After chasing him out of the mining area, he pulled the reins of a thin man's horse and said flatteringly.After finishing speaking, he took out a few shining gold ingots from his pocket and put them into the horse bag.

The man on the horse called Mr. Ye smiled when he saw the gold ingot, nodded and said with a smile: "It's easy to say, don't worry, owner Cai, all the iron mines in Shannan belong to you, as long as you follow Qi Xiang faithfully, Qi Xiang will return to you." Treat you badly?"

Although the two of them were a little far away from Li Bin and their voices were not loud, Li Bin's inner strength is pure today, his eyes and ears are sharp, and he has heard the conversation between the two of them clearly.

Li Bin thought: "The Prime Minister of Qi agreed to help the Tubo people traffic the fine iron from Da Qi. It turns out that he colluded with the mine owners here to smuggle the country's iron to the enemy."

Li Bin accidentally broke into the dirty deal between Qi Xiang and the Tubo people today.

"Yawei, let's go." Li Bin turned his horse's head and rode away from the mining area.

"Master, can we still buy the iron ore?" Disciple Wei Yawei wondered why the master changed his mind temporarily and went back without talking to the owner of the iron mine.

"I won't buy it. All the iron mines in the south of the mountain belong to Futumen!" Li Binhao said.

"Ah?" Wei Yawei responded in surprise, he didn't know what the master meant by these words?If you don't buy iron ore, can it automatically become your own thing?
Wei Yawei was very surprised: "Master's actions are really unpredictable, it's too deep and unfathomable."

Seeing his master galloping towards Lingnan, Wei Yawei was really confused and had no choice but to gallop on his horse to keep up with his master.

In less than half a day, Li Bin rode his horse to the cave where the main hall of Gejie, the head of the green forest in the six southern provinces, is located.

"Master, the mountains here are high and the forests are dense. There are strong men wandering around with weapons everywhere, and they all look vicious. Could this be a bandit's den, right?" Disciple Wei Yawei couldn't help but feel a little bit at what he saw along the way. Nervous, if it weren't for the master Li Bin by his side, he would probably have galloped back, how could he dare to stay here.

Li Bin got off his horse and walked to the entrance of a cave. The forest bandits patrolling along the way saw Li Bin approaching from a distance, and they all took the initiative to avoid it.

Disciple Wei Yawei was even more astonished when he saw this scene. When these ferocious strong men saw their master, everyone was in awe. They didn't even dare to express their anger, let alone cross-examination.

As soon as Li Bin's master and apprentice walked to the entrance of the cave, a strong man in a short shirt and with a swollen face ran out of the cave. He laughed "haha", held Li Bin's hand enthusiastically, and said with a smile: "Master Li is here!" , Ge Jie is far away, please forgive me, forgive me."

Li Bin patted Ge Jie's arm and said with a smile: "King Ge, I'm here to ask you a favor today."

Li Bin and Ge Jie were old acquaintances, and they both spoke directly and had a great time. "

"It's my honor, Ge Jie, to serve Master Li. Master Li, just give me your orders."

Li Bin came closer and whispered in Gejie's ear for a while.

"It's a small matter. Don't worry, Head Li. I, Ge Jie, will definitely handle it properly for you." Ge Jie said loudly, patting his broad and strong chest after hearing Li Bin's words.

"Master Li, this little brother has a sharp eye. Is he your new disciple?" Ge Jie said, looking at Wei Yawei who was following Master Li Bin.

"Yawei, come and meet King Ge, King Ge is the leader of the green forests in the six southern provinces." Li Bin instructed his disciples.

"Boy, I have met King Ge." Wei Yawei took a step forward and bowed to Ge Jie as a martial arts junior.

"Little brother, don't listen to what your master said. Your master said that to give me old Ge's face. Everyone is a brother in the world. If you don't dislike it, call me Brother Ge in the future." Ge Jie has been in the green forest for most of his life. Why don't you know, Li Bin only brought Wei Yawei to see him today, Ge Jie, which is enough to show that Wei Yawei's status in Futumen is extraordinary, and he must be Li Bin's most important disciple, so Ge ​​Jie enthusiastically climbed up with Wei Yawei relation.

Wei Yawei did not immediately respond to Ge Jie's invitation to call him a brother, but first looked at his master Li Bin, and after obtaining master Li Bin's nod of approval, Wei Yawei and Ge Jie warmly hugged each other, and shouted: "Yawei has met Brother Ge."

"Good brother." Ge Jie was very happy to have a closer relationship with Wei Yawei, a close and new disciple who Li Bin relied heavily on. It would be nice to have a more relationship with Li Bin. It has already been spread to Ge Jie's ears. Those who are in the green forest are all living by licking their blood. It is more important to have a big tree like Li Bin behind them that you can rely on at ease. This is equivalent to having an extra life-saving Fu general.

Besides, Li Bin really saved his own life not long ago, so Ge ​​Jie believes that Li Bin is someone who can be relied on with confidence.

"Master Li, brother Wei Xian, I have an invitation. I will be the host today, and please respect Mr. Li." Ge Jie stepped aside and bowed to invite Li Bin's master and apprentice into the cave.

"Let's go another day. We still have things to do today. Yawei, say goodbye to your brother Ge. Let's go." Li Bin ordered his disciples.
