Chapter 49 Dongting Lake
"That's my way."
Fang Shiyu pointed to a pool of soil on the ground and said.
"It's just a pile of soil. What's new? If you like to play, I'll ask someone to push you a few cars."
Lan Yu glanced at it and said disdainfully.
He didn't look closely, but felt that it was no different from the soil in the fields.
"Mr. Fang, what is this soil? What does it have to do with the money laundering you said?"
Liu Bowen squatted down and pinched a small handful of soil and asked.
In his heart, Fang Shiyu is a wise man who is incomparable to him and he is absolutely impossible to talk nonsense.
“Have you ever heard a poem?”
"Thousands of hammers and thousands of chisels out of the deep mountains, and the fire burns them as if they are easy."
"I'm not afraid of being crushed to pieces, I have to keep my innocence in the world!"
Fang Shiyu was very satisfied with Liu Bowen's attitude towards studying, and then recited a poem.
"So this is lime."
Liu Bowen thought for a moment and instantly understood what the pile of soil in front of him was.
Lime is not a rare thing in Yanhuang. As early as the Han and Tang Dynasties, specialized craftsmen fired lime.
"Xiao Fangzi, does this lime have anything to do with the money laundering you mentioned?"
Zhu Yuanzhang was full of doubts, but he still couldn't understand what the relationship between lime and money laundering was.
"My old man, I ask you, do you have any acquaintances in Dongting's navy?"
Fang Shiyu did not directly answer Zhu Yuanzhang's question, but instead asked an irrelevant question.
"You said Dongting Navy?"
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what Fang Shiyu wanted to express.
He has never contacted officials as low-level as commanders, such as commanders.
"Of course there are acquaintances, isn't it just Dongtingshui? We have people from commanders to thousands or even hundreds of households under us."
Lan Yu added in time next to her.
He didn't make any nonsense.
You should know that Lan Yu was the founding general of the Ming Dynasty and ranked as a marquis.
And he is careless and careless.
Although his temper made Lan Yu unable to get along with the important officials of the court, he was very generous among the generals.
Therefore, Lan Yu had a very good relationship with the military, and his friends and subordinates were all over the Ming Dynasty armies.
Otherwise, how could the Lan Yu case involve so many generals, almost killing all the generals of the Ming Dynasty military.
"Just have acquaintances, just have acquaintances."
Fang Shiyu nodded with satisfaction.
Since you have an acquaintance, this matter is easy to handle.
"My old man, after two days, you will call me the commander of the Dongting Navy and I will buy the West Mountain in Dongting."
Fang Shiyu said proudly.
"It's no problem to call the other party over, but why are you buying Dongting West Mountain? Are you so much money and have nowhere to spend it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of doubts.
Isn't it just a broken commander?
He gave a casual oral order, and the other party ran over without hesitation.
But what did this little bastard buy Dongting West Mountain?
When he and Chen Youliang fought, they never went to this place.
Dongting West Mountain is called a mountain, but it is actually an island in the middle of a lake, with an area of as large as several Jinling City.
There are only stones and soil on the island, and there is no way to plant sweet potatoes.
But I can grow some potatoes.
Is this little bastard so much money that he has nowhere to spend it?
Not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but even Lan Yu next to him looked at Fang Shiyu with confusion.
"You said you know nothing, you should know that Dongting West Mountain is a good place."
Seeing the expressions of these two people, Fang Shiyu immediately said with a smile.
Next, we have to teach these two people another lesson.
"You said this is a good place, why don't I know? Xiao Fangzi, Kedeko, tell me."
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became interested.
The treasury of the Ming Dynasty was at its bottom, but as an emperor, he was so short of money.
The purpose of his visit today was to let Fang Shiyu solve the financial problems of the Ming Dynasty.
But I didn’t expect that when I just saw Fang Shiyu, the other party said that Dongting Lake is a good place. Can that place make a fortune?
This is really a coincidence.
"I will tell you quietly that these limes were burned by me in Dongting West Mountain overnight."
Fang Shiyu pointed to the lime on the ground and said with a proud look on his face.
Yesterday, in order to burn these limes, he took a boat to Dongting West Mountain overnight in order to burn these limes, and just came back this morning.
"It's just some lime, why do you have to go to Dongting Lake?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with confusion on his face.
"Because Dongting West Mountain is the only place in the entire Jinling area where lime can be burned directly with stones."
Fang Shiyu said proudly.
In ancient times, limes were made of stones.
Although it looks very convenient, the quality of lime in many places is not that high.
However, all the stones in Dongting West Mountain are made of limestone, which can be directly fired, which is quick and convenient, and there are few impurities.
"So that's how it is."
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little disappointed.
Although lime is of great use, it is also of low price.
However, even if the western mountains of Dongting are burned into lime, they will not be sold for much money!
This little bastard actually said that Dongting West Mountain is a good place.
I really have never seen the world.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Fang Shiyu instantly knew what the other party was thinking.
Fang Shiyu laughed a few times, and then prepared to give Old Man Zhu a huge surprise.
"If it's just some lime, it's not a good place, but what if I tell you, there is also the only coal mine in the entire Jinling area in the west of Dongting Mountain?"
"What did you say?"
"You didn't lie to me, are you?"
As soon as Fang Shiyu opened his words, he instantly shocked Zhu Yuanzhang and others.
If it is just some lime, it is really nothing, but if there is a coal mine, it will be a huge fortune.
Now there is Shanxi in Peiping, and people in these two places are using coal mines to keep warm.
The winter in Jiangnan is very cold. Because there is no coal mine, the people can only burn firewood to keep warm.
But where did so much firewood come from in the Jiangnan region?
Even cooking has to be saved.
Therefore, many ordinary people can only bear it after winter.
Now someone tells them that there is actually a coal mine in the west mountain of Dongting.
This is the treasure pot of God of Wealth.
If this coal mine was established, the finances of the Ming Dynasty would be improved instantly.
This is a happy event.
