Iron Dynasty

His Royal Highness, this old slave has troubled His Highness.

Qian Dafu's face was still a little pale, the blood loss and the cold made him pass out not long after the arrow was hit.

Now Xiao Ming asked Aster to bring his briquettes to Qian Dafu's room. After warming up a little, Qian Dafu woke up.

At this time, Medical Officer Sun said: Thanks to the severe cold, Steward Qian's wounds were frozen so that he did not lose too much blood. Otherwise, Steward Qian might not be able to save his life.

Xiao Ming also had some lingering fears, and said to Doctor Sun, I'm bothering Doctor Sun.

Medical Officer Sun was a little stunned, so he hurriedly bowed and said, Your Highness, this is the duty of a lower official. Your Highness is polite.

Aster and Luluo were both taking care of Qian Dafu in the room. Seeing Doctor Sun's sincere expression, Luluo covered her mouth and laughed lightly.

This Doctor Sun is probably also frightened by King Qi's polite appearance now. They were not used to it at first, and it took a month to get used to it.

Looking at Qian Dafu again, Medical Officer Sun said, Your Highness, since the housekeeper Qian is fine, the lower official will retire first.

Xiao Ming nodded and asked Luluo to send Doctor Sun to the door, which caused Doctor Sun to wave his hands again and again.

The most important thing for Xiao Ming now is talent, Corporal Li Xian, who can still do it for a person from modern times.

After seeing Medical Officer Sun away, Xiao Ming sat down in front of Qian Dafu's bed and said, Steward Qian, it's really hard for you this time. This king has ordered that the bandit who attacked you must be beheaded this time.

Qian Dafu was lying on the bed, very weak. Hearing Xiao Ming's words, he immediately struggled to get up and said eagerly, Your Highness, it is absolutely impossible, this person is none other than Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang? Xiao Ming only had a vague impression of this person in his memory.

Qian Dafu continued: I'm afraid I don't remember, Zhang Liang used to run a shipyard. Later, when the barbarians plundered his shipyard, he burnt it down. At that time, there were several merchant ships of the Qin family in the shipyard. He was also burned because he owed a large amount of debt to the Qin family, and the Qin family was angry with him, and every time he came to ask for the debt, he took the Zhang family into the mountains to hide the debt and became a bandit.

I remember, Qin Mu seems to have let this king send troops to encircle them. Xiao Ming finally found some information in his memory.

This time, I saw Zhang Liang dressed in ragged clothes, and the same goes for the others. It is estimated that he will attack me because he can't survive in winter, and the heavy snow is so charming that he may not be able to see clearly that he is from the government. Since His Highness wants to rejuvenate the fief, this piece of Liang is a useful person.

Xiao Ming sighed with emotion. Although his fiefdom was abysmal, he was very lucky to have such a heartfelt person like Qian Dafu by his side.

He said: In this case, I will let Lu Fei not hurt his life.

Your Highness is wise. Qian Dafu smiled.

Qian Dafu gritted his teeth because his smile tugged at the wound, but he continued, Your Highness, this time I went out to search for mines for more than a month. I found a limestone mine thirty miles north of Qingzhou city, a hundred miles east of Qingzhou. I found graphite ore, iron, coal, and copper, and I wrote down the exact location.

While speaking, Qian Dafu took out a piece of parchment from his arms.

Xiao Ming took a closer look. It recorded the locations of various mines and their markers. The locations were all accurately measured by the number of steps. Although there were only five mines, they were enough to solve Xiao Ming's immediate needs.

Da Fu, you really did a great job. How do you want this king to reward you? Xiao Ming said excitedly.

The success of Qian Dafu's mine exploration has once again proved that the geographical location of this world is the same as his time and space. He has also seen some scientific theories before. When the history of one time and space changes, this time and space may continue to develop along another line.

This is also the theory of parallel space-time.

This time Qian Dafu found the minerals and the location marked on the map in his head was almost the same. As a result, the remaining minerals were naturally not a problem.

Qian Dafu said weakly: His Royal Highness only needs to reward the sergeant who went with me to search for mines. Of course, there is also the matter of Zhang Liang.

Xiao Ming nodded. Seeing that Qian Dafu was a little tired, he said, Okay, I promise you, now you are recovering well.

Qian Dafu nodded slightly and closed his eyes. The injury and long-distance fatigue made him too sleepy.

Turning around, Xiao Ming said to Ziwan: The housekeeper Qian will leave it to you to take care of it. If there is anything delicious in the palace, I will follow the housekeeper Qian closely. You can go to the east and west markets to see if there is any meat, and buy some back.

Aster nodded lightly, and there seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes, Your Highness, this servant remembers.

When Qian Dafu talked about Zhang Liang, Xiao Ming had to talk to Lu Fei, otherwise, if this reckless guy killed someone, Qian Dafu's thoughts would be wasted.

After all, he went straight to the Governor's Mansion.

Luluo stared at Xiao Ming's back for a while, and said, Sister, it seems that King Qi treats the servants so kindly to the servants in the mansion. It really seems to have changed.

Who said it wasn't? Ziwan smiled, with two small dimples on her face, If the goddess knew that the prodigal son of His Highness was back, how happy would he be?

Luluo pursed her lips and wanted to cry, I don't know what we can do to go back to Chang'an. It's too boring here. How can there be the prosperity and excitement of Chang'an? I really want to eat Chang'an's maltose.

Aster hugged Luluo in her arms, Your Highness sent us here to take care of His Highness. We can go back when His Highness can return to Chang'an. If you are really bored, His Highness will be happy to play with you.

Luluo blushed, Sister is not ashamed, I don't want it, His Highness likes to move.

Hee hee, wait until His Highness gets married, let's see what you say. Ziwan grabbed Luluo's armpit and tickled it.

Sister, don't, Luluo is the most ticklish. Luluo ducked, panting, If His Royal Highness really married the princess then, he wouldn't know whether to treat us well or badly.

Who knows? But with the temperament of the goddess, I will definitely choose a virtuous princess. Ziwan thought for a while.

Just as he was talking, Dafu Qian coughed twice while lying on the bed.

Luluo and Aster looked at each other, startled, stuck out their tongue, Aster said, Let's go out, don't disturb the housekeeper Qian's recovery.

Luluo nodded, and quietly closed the door with Aster.

...

At the Governor's Mansion, Lu Fei was called by Xiao Ming and was discussing the arrest of Zhang Liang and others.

I didn't expect it to be Zhang Liang. He is indeed a master of shipbuilding. Lu Fei said, But the mountains are covered by heavy snow, so I'm afraid it's not easy to get him.

Xiao Ming said: I have already thought of a way, and now I will tell you, you just need to copy it...
