A ceramic jar became sentient, knowledgeable of past and present. Wang Yan relied on this ceramic jar to befriend an ancient beautiful female general.

Her name was Tan Junyan, a legend of the...

Chapter 103: The Sorrow of War Horses and the Attitude of the Unruly People

Seeing Wang Yan's excited expression, Tan Junyan subconsciously asked, "What are rare earths?"

"It's a very precious polymetallic substance. It's very valuable over there."

Wang Yan felt an irrepressible excitement in his heart and quickly put two handfuls of money into his pocket.

"I need to take it back for testing. If it really is rare earth, the funding problem may be solved."

"Is this kind of soil valuable over there?" Tan Junyan looked puzzled.

Isn’t this just red soil? How can it be valuable?

Wang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Let me tell you this! If it's really rare earth, this is a gold mine."

The application range of rare earths is too wide.

Rare earths are needed in the metallurgical industry, petrochemical industry, electronic information, new energy, military field, etc.

Moreover, the prices of rare earths vary. For example, Northern Rare Earth costs 17,000 to 18,000 yuan per ton.

If it is heavy rare earth, one meal will cost more than 200,000, almost 300,000.

Secondly, look at the market conditions. When the market demand is large, it will be more expensive, otherwise it will be cheaper.

Fan Yin and Shi Xiong, who followed, looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

This is the first time I heard that red soil is valuable. Is Wang Yan mistaken?

Tan Junyan was also confused and frowned, "This is just ordinary red soil. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"This is just my initial guess, so I have to take it back for testing to confirm."

Wang Yan looked at the volume of the red soil mountain and said, "If it is really rare earth, the value of this mountain is inestimable."

"Not only can it solve my funding problem for purchasing supplies, it can even help your Tan family army rise rapidly."

"Coach."

Shi Xiong stepped forward and said, "If this red soil mountain is really so valuable, it should be protected."

"Increase patrols here and don't let anyone get close."

Fan Yin added: "In order to attract unnecessary trouble, they also blocked the news."

Wang Yan shook his head noncommittally.

"Your current technology isn't capable of creating value from rare earths. Just have some soldiers patrol here and prevent the people from taking the earth."

"good!"

Tan Junyan nodded in agreement, "Fan Yin, the task of inspecting Hongtu Mountain is now handed over to you."

Fan Yin clasped his fists and said, "I obey your orders."

"I will contact the agency to confirm as soon as possible. Once it is confirmed to be rare earth, you should consider starting development."

Wang Yan patted the dust off his hands and said, "Miss Tan, I've seen everything I need to see. I won't bother you any further. Please take out the porcelain jar!"

Tan Junyan was slightly stunned, "You're leaving now?"

"Yeah, let's go."

Wang Yan looked at the desolate surroundings and said, "I need to confirm the situation of this red soil mountain as soon as possible."

"If you really have a lot of this red soil here, it could change the fate of the country."

Although the antiques from the Holy Dragon Kingdom are very valuable now, they will probably drop in price significantly after a few auctions.

Scarcity makes things valuable. If sold in large quantities, anything other than gold may become very cheap.

It is a bit difficult to support the whole city with antiques for a long time, but it would be easy if we had rare earths.

Rare earths have so many applications that there is no shortage of them.

"But……"

Tan Junyan looked a little hesitant. "There are certain risks in using a porcelain jar to transport people. What if something unexpected happens?"

Wang Yan smiled slightly, "The chance of that happening is very small. I don't think I'm that unlucky."

Upon hearing this, Tan Junyan quickly clutched her pockets and said, "You might as well just stay here."

"Yes!" Fan Yin agreed hurriedly.

"Stay here and be our emperor, ruling the world, being respected by all the people, and enjoying supreme glory. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Stop messing around, you guys!"

Wang Yan rolled his eyes, "Power and glory are not what I seek."

"I just hope General Tan doesn't die young..."

"You scum, get out of here!"

"Hurry up, follow me."

Just then, a loud noise was heard.

Wang Yan and others looked up and saw a group of refugees being pushed down the mountain by soldiers.

The soldiers kicked and stomped on him with a harsh attitude.

It seems that he hates those refugees.

The refugees were dressed in rags. Some of them carried worn packages, while others supported the elderly and children as they staggered forward.

"What's going on?" Fan Yin asked loudly.

A soldier heard this and hurried over.

"General, these refugees are from the Grand Duchy."

"They killed our horses while we were out helping other refugees."

"There were three war horses in total, and they ate them all."

"Three war horses! Woo woo woo ..."

The soldiers were so worried about their horses that they choked with sobs.

Shi Xiong, standing by, clenched his fists tightly. "Malabar, the people of the Grand Duchy are so ungrateful and ungrateful."

Fan Yin nodded, "Yes, we would rather starve to death than eat our war horses, yet they ate them. It's so infuriating."

Another general said, "Commander, just kill them."

Tan Junyan's face became increasingly gloomy.

War horses are important strategic materials and are extremely scarce during natural disasters. Soldiers would rather starve to death than eat war horses.

"Kneel down."

"Everyone, kneel down."

Soon, nearly a hundred people from the Grand Duchy knelt on the ground unwillingly.

"Coach, what should we do with them?"

Fan Yin asked Tan Junyan.

Tan Junyan said to the people of the Grand Duchy with a cold face: "Why are you slaughtering our war horses?"

An old man rushed to say: "Because I'm hungry. If I don't eat now, I'll starve to death."
