"Yu Gong said that the stability of the world lies in agriculture and mulberry, but the development is in business.
"Then how to deal with the shortage of food under Hangzhou's rule" "If there is a shortage of grain, you can buy from the Central Plains, and if the Central Plains does not have it, you can buy it from other countries."
"What if the Gentiles do not sell" Li Mu smiled and said, "Then put a horizontal knife on their necks and buy it from them." ” Yu Zhining was taken aback when he heard this, "Your Highness's plan is very big." ” "Yu Gong can see the emperor's map of the rivers and mountains in the Chengqing Palace" "The old man has seen it, and he knows that it was offered by His Royal Highness at the Yen Day Banquet."
"Then Duke Yu should understand that there is no difference between what Mu is trying to do and what His Majesty is drawing."
Yu Zhining's face was straight, and he bowed and said: "The minister will convey His Royal Highness's meaning to His Majesty word for word, and the minister will leave." ” "Yu Gong has a good trip."
Because of this flood control levee, the people of Hangzhou are effectively protected from flooding.
The people spontaneously called this levee "Muwang Embankment".
Through the word of mouth of the people of Hangzhou and Yuezhou, Li Mu's reputation in Jiangnan has reached a boiling point.
The states along the Yangtze River, which were affected by the seven-day torrential rains, are once again facing the loss of registered people.
However, this time the influx of people is not as large as during the great drought, but rather a slow stream.
On this day, Shen Jie's "Shen Bancheng" came with more than a dozen squires.
"Xiaomin greets His Highness."
"Squire Shen came here today, thinking that it was for the matter of the ironsmith workshop."
Li Mu replied with a smile.
"I can't hide it from Your Highness, what Xiaomin is waiting for here is exactly this."
"Good, good.
Let's all sit down and talk. ” "Your Highness, after discussion, we have completed the fundraising."
"How much have you raised?"
"There are a total of 68 squires in the eight counties of Hangzhou, ranging from 3,000 to 20,000, with a total of 500,000 yuan."
"In this way, the ownership of shares has also been discussed" "According to His Highness's words, except for the thirty percent of the shares held by His Highness, the rest have been clarified."
"Good.
The place where the ironwork workshop needs has been chosen" "That's what I'm here for.
I waited for a piece of land, but it is on the west side of Baobao Mountain, which is close to the Shenji Guard military camp, so I would like to ask Your Highness if it is feasible."
Li Mu frowned slightly when he heard this, but it wasn't impossible.
But Li Mu knew the impact of the ironware workshop on the surrounding environment, and in Lijiazhuang, the dust generated by the ironwork workshop troubled the people in the village.
Now with the reason for the tea mulberry on Baobao Mountain and Wu Mountain, Li Mu intends to build the ironware workshop outside Qiantang Mansion.
Listening to Shen Jie's words, Li Mu said politely: "The land that Squire Shen said was originally a borderless land, and the lonely one did not oppose it, but you also know that Gem Mountain and Wu Mountain are now full of tea mulberry, and if the iron workshop is located in Qiantang City, I am afraid that the smoke and dust raised will cause a lot of inconvenience." ” Shen Jie heard this: "Your Highness, where should the ironsmith workshop be built?"
"In my opinion, it is best to build an iron workshop along the river, which is convenient for the transportation of iron ore and convenient for water, but the land along the river must also be selected in the downstream area, otherwise it will pollute the drinking water of the people."
Shen Jie said with his head: "It is said that His Royal Highness cares about the people, and Xiaomin can be regarded as knowledgeable today." ” Li Mu smiled: "Have you figured out where to buy iron ore?"
Shen Jie said: "Hangzhou does not produce iron ore locally, so why do you need to buy it from Yangzhou, most of them come from the north, because the Grand Canal is convenient for transportation."
However, some of them are transported from Shannan West Road through the Yangtze River, but there are only a few.
We also bought it from Yangzhou, which is convenient and time-saving. ” When Li Mu heard this, he muttered in his heart, isn't there an iron mine in Hangzhou?
I remember that there is an iron mine in Xianlinbu, Yuhang County.
In addition, Shaoxing Lizhu iron ore is a medium-sized mine, but this is in Yuezhou.
However, Yuhang County is under the jurisdiction of Hangzhou Prefecture, and it is only fifty or sixty miles away, which is just to avoid densely populated areas.
Although the scale was small, the so-called small in later generations was quite large in this era.
Thinking of this, Li Mu remained silent and said to Shen Jie: "Rong Gu will think about it for a few days, and after five days, you will come back to listen to the letter, how about it?"
Shen Jie said: "So I'll wait for five days and come back and say goodbye." ” After Li Mu and the other squires left, Su Dingfang, Li Shi and other Shenji guard generals were immediately called.
They were ordered to bring the smelting craftsmen and conduct a carpet search of Xianlin Port in Yuhang County in the name of Shenjiwei Lalian.
Sure enough, three days later, there was good news.
Li Shi came with several craftsmen to report that he had discovered iron ore in Xianlinbu.
Li Mu then set off with Wei Zheng, who didn't know why, and went to Xianlinbu, and when he arrived, he found that in fact, this mining area is not big, only the size of two football fields.
The mining area has been excavated to the ground.
According to the craftsmen, with Lijiazhuang's steel production, the mine is enough to last for decades without drying up.
In addition, there are associated copper mines around the mining area, although there are not many, but it is more than enough to mint millions of copper coins.

This made Li Mu very satisfied.
Because in Li Mu's plan, the Lizhu iron ore in Shaoxing, Yuezhou is also in his pocket.
Wei Zheng didn't understand until now Li Mu immediately informed the Yamen of Yuhang County.
The county magistrate of Yuhang County hurriedly came when he heard the news.
"Xiaguan Yuhang County ordered Zhang Shiheng to see His Royal Highness, see Wei Thorn History, I don't know that His Highness and Wei Thorn History are coming, I have missed the welcome, please forgive Your Highness."
Li Mu looked at the old man in front of him and had a little impression, when he first came to Hangzhou, he was among the officials who greeted him, but there were many people at the beginning, and he didn't care about him.
"Zhang County Order, this land can have a master" "Back to Your Highness, this place is barren and ownerless."
"That's fine, I'll requisition this land."
"I don't know in what name His Highness requisitioned" Although Li Mu is the heir and the governor of Hangzhou, he really doesn't know how to deal with local matters At this time, Wei Zheng said: "Zhang County Order, His Royal Highness is the Governor of Hangzhou, and now the Shenji Guard under his command has been expanded to 10,000 people, and the original military camp is no longer enough to use, so a group of people will be stationed in Yuhang, and this is the location of the Shenji Guard." ” Zhang Shiheng bowed down when he heard the words and said, "Xiaguan understands, it's just." ” He glanced at the excavated scene, his eyes flickering.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see the strangeness.
Such a large area of excavation, in addition to digging treasures, is also mining.
For the perception of people in this era, the meaning of mining is nothing more than gold, silver, copper, and iron.
This is not a gold or silver mine, so the answer is imminent.
Li Mu knew that this matter could not be hidden, and asked: "Zhang Xianling's guess in his heart is right, iron ore has been found here.
Could it be that Zhang County Ling wants to share a piece of the pie with Lonely."
Zhang Shiheng bowed his head and said, "The lower officials don't dare." ” "There's nothing you dare, you name it, and Lone promises you
