"I noticed that your accent is very similar to the people here, and you can understand their dialects."
Su Miaomiao didn't realize that she was speaking dialect. She thought she was speaking Mandarin to Xiao Yunfei.
She thought she had hidden it well, but she didn't know when Xiao Yunfei noticed something was wrong.
She asked.
“Did I speak in tongues?”
"There are a lot of words, like 削你, 买污, 外屋地, and many more. I asked Yang Xiaogang and the others, and they said these are all local dialects."
You don’t know until you hear it, and you’ll be shocked when you hear it.
Su Miaomiao smiled awkwardly, thinking that it was a good thing that she had already confronted Xiao Yunfei, otherwise, with Xiao Yunfei's smart head, he would discover her problem sooner or later.
Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Xiao Yunfei turned his head and looked at her.
"Did I guess right?"
Su Miaomiao nodded in response.
"You guessed it right, you're amazing."
Now it was Xiao Yunfei's turn to be surprised, and he asked in surprise.
"Are you really from Ningguta? Will Ningguta be the same as it is now thousands of years from now? Will there still be people here in the future?"
Thinking of the place where she was born and grew up, Su Miaomiao's expression became much gentler.
She raised the corners of her mouth and spoke slowly.
"Yes, many people will live here in the future. It's well-developed and a very important part of the country."
"Why?" Xiao Yunfei asked in confusion, "Why do so many people live in this bitter cold place? And you said this place is very important, are you kidding me?"
In this era, the Northeast region had not yet been developed, and Ningguta was just a place to detain prisoners. Moreover, the winters here were relatively long and cold, which was indeed not suitable for living. So it was normal for Xiao Yunfei not to understand.
Su Miaomiao spoke gently and patiently to Xiao Yunfei.
"Although it's extremely cold here, it's rich in natural resources, including coal, natural gas, oil, and forests. It was precisely because of these abundant resources that the three northeastern provinces were once important industrial bases in the country, making a huge contribution to the country's industrialization process."
Before Su Miaomiao finished speaking, Xiao Yunfei couldn't help but interrupt her.
He asked excitedly.
"You mean there's coal here?"
He didn't understand a lot of what Su Miaomiao said, but he knew about coal.
Coal resources are very precious. Coal is needed to smelt weapons. Coal can increase the furnace temperature and make iron ore melt better.
If he could control the coal resources here, he could smelt weapons and arm his own troops, and at the same time, he would have an additional bargaining chip in negotiations with the emperor.
Seeing that Xiao Yunfei was too excited and his mind was not on driving at all, Su Miaomiao quickly reminded him.
“Drive carefully!”
Xiao Yunfei realized that he was distracted and quickly stopped the car.
Even though he was about to get home, he still wanted to know the answer right away.
He parked the car, grabbed Su Miaomiao's wrist and asked anxiously.
"Wife, tell me quickly, is it true that there is coal here?"
"It's true. The coal resources here are very rich."
After getting Su Miaomiao's affirmative answer, Xiao Yunfei's mouth corners curled up wildly.
Very good!
I didn't expect there was coal here.
The superiors had sent so many people to look for coal but couldn’t find any. Who would have thought that coal would be found in such a bitter and cold place.
It's really like searching for a needle in a haystack, but finally finding it without any effort.
Xiao Yunfei asked excitedly.
"Where is the coal? Do you know?"
Su Miaomiao didn't know why Xiao Yunfei was so excited, so she didn't waste any time and answered directly.
“I don’t know the exact location, but I know there are several cities in Heilongjiang Province that have coal resources.”
Xiao Yunfei frowned slightly. He felt that the situation was not good and asked in confusion.
"Where is Heilongjiang Province?"
"We are now in Heilongjiang Province. Heilongjiang Province has 12 prefecture-level cities. Our area is in Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. Several cities in the province with coal resources are Hegang City, Jixi City, Shuangyashan City and Qitaihe City."
Xiao Yunfei asked again.
"Do you know where those cities you just mentioned are?"
"Know."
"So if you take me to look for coal, what do you think the chances are of finding it?"
Su Miaomiao lowered her eyes and thought seriously, then said.
"If we go looking for it directly, I think it's a bit difficult, but we have a trading system to help. I can buy relevant books and maps, so that our chances of finding coal will be better."
"Well, you make sense. Coal is very important to us. If possible, I hope you can help me find it."
Su Miaomiao certainly knows that coal resources are important.
When she heard Xiao Yunfei say this, she roughly guessed what Xiao Yunfei wanted to do.
If you want a large amount of weapons, iron ore, smelting technology, and coal are all indispensable.
Now all the mined coal resources are controlled by the emperor, so it is extremely difficult for Xiao Yunfei to obtain weapons.
But it would be different if Xiao Yunfei found coal.
He could bypass the emperor's control and secretly mine coal and smelt weapons to prepare for future plans.
At this time, Su Miaomiao nodded solemnly and said.
"Okay, I promise you, I will take you to find a coal mine when I have the chance."
Su Miaomiao paused for a moment. She believed that Xiao Yunfei knew what was going on, but she still couldn't help but speak.
"I still say the same thing. I know you're anxious, but we have to move forward steadily, step by step. Right now, the most important thing for us is to gain a firm foothold here."
