Liu Feng disagreed. It would be good for him to spread this knowledge now.
All the people who participated learned this, and it is also a way to promote cultural knowledge.
So, it’s okay to tell Xia Lihong.
This method is actually not a secret. Many people who mine ores use this method, but they only use fire and then wait for it to cool naturally.
However, there are very few people like Liu Feng who fully utilize the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.
The fact that the entire Jiangjunling was able to fall so smoothly this time was also related to the terrain, otherwise it would not have been so easy.
Xia Lihong still didn't understand and kept repeating "thermal expansion and contraction". He also found that the core of what Liu Feng said was these words.
It was very easy for Liu Feng to say it, but it was very difficult for him to understand it.
"According to what Lord Liu said, the stones will expand when heated, but will shrink again if they are exposed to cold?"
"But that doesn't make sense. The seasons change, the mountains and the seas transform, yet those high mountains are scorched by the sun in the summer and covered in ice in the winter, yet I haven't seen them collapse."
Liu Feng did not continue to explain, but patted Xia Lihong's shoulder with a smile.
“There are still many things that need to be practiced.”
“There’s a saying that goes, ‘Seeing is believing, and trying is worse than seeing.’”
Xia Lihong's face changed. He might not understand other things, but he understood this sentence very well.
If you continue to ask, Xia Lihong would be shameless. He would not do such a thing as commanding everyone to collect treasures without saying a word.
At the foot of the cliff, Xia Lihong's orders were simple and practical.
Remove the rocks and take away everything you can.
However, what Liu Feng didn't know was that after turning over the stones, he did not find Lin Ziyi's body.
Of course, when Liu Feng left, he handed over the task of dealing with the body to Xia Lihong.
Wu San Tong took a group of people back to the village first, and then took Liu Feng's iconic token and mobilized 300 people from the Tiger Roar Army as guards to receive and escort the families of these new soldiers and their valuables.
Today, Siwa Village is overcrowded and there are no vacant houses, but fortunately, Shanggou Village has enough vacant houses.
Suddenly, there were more than 300 people, which means more than 300 households. Suddenly, the population of Xinhedu was greatly supplemented.
Of course, although they joined the Tiger Roar Army, they couldn't get houses and other things for free. It was still a matter of exchange. Those who had houses and land in Youzhou City would naturally get them when they went there.
Those who are so poor can only live in straw huts.
Today, the entire Xinqiang River basin is under construction, and residential areas have been planned.
As long as they participate in labor, they can get houses in the end. If they kill enemies and make meritorious service on the battlefield, they can still be rewarded with houses.
But if it's given to him for free, Liu Feng won't be taken advantage of.
No one will cherish things that are given for free.
Liu Feng's management style has been recognized by everyone, and the enthusiasm of these new employees is high.
So after Liu Feng returned to Xinhedu.
These people not only performed extremely well in daily training and obeyed orders, but also worked very hard in the process of building the new river crossing.
After things here came to an end, Liu Feng and Liu Yan stayed at the Fulai Inn for another night.
I was originally planning to go back to the village with the main force, but after finishing the salt industry matters, Zhou Wanggui took the initiative to come to me.
After Zhou Wanggui returned to Youzhou City, he first visited the governor.
After Liu Feng killed someone, he asked someone to take his own post to act as a guarantor for Liu Feng, but the person did not go.
Although Zhou Wanggui has a noble status, his rank cannot be compared with that of the governor.
So he went to the governor's mansion in person, firstly to apologize, secondly to guarantee Liu Feng, and at the same time to ask the governor how to properly handle the matter.
Who knew that the governor Xia Lihong didn't care about this matter at all and said that he would let bygones be bygones.
After some inquiries, he found out that Liu Feng had recruited two thousand ruffians and refugees in Youzhou City, and spent three days to wipe out the bandits in Feihuoshan.
With such an achievement, the death of a city gate captain is nothing.
Even if you kill a few more people, the merits and demerits can be offset.
If Liu Feng could bring more good things to Youzhou City, Xia Lihong would like to find a few more good-for-nothings for Liu Feng to kill, so that he can use this as an excuse to let Liu Feng do more things.
Morally blackmailing Liu Feng.
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, Zhou Wanggui went straight to the Fulai Inn to offer his congratulations.
Who knew that as soon as he saw Liu Feng, he was held up by Da Zhuang beside him.
"Master Zhou, is that salt on your feet?"
"Sir Li, taking out the official salt without permission is a serious crime."
It was spring, and the salt fields had officially started construction. Zhou Wanggui was the one who went there to supervise the work.
When Wu Santong went south before, he brought back a bag of saltpeter, and later he brought back another bag from the salt fields in Youzhou City.
This is also the reason why Liu Feng knew that there were salt fields near Youzhou City, but he did not know that the salt fields were also managed by Zhou Wanggui.
Now, Liu Feng’s mind is full of one idea: how to take over the management of this salt field.
If there were salt fields, then large quantities of saltpeter could be produced stably.
Although saltpeter is currently made from horse manure, the output is low and cannot be stable.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if I could control the two major economic lifelines of Youzhou, namely iron ore and salt fields?
Zhou Wanggui looked down.
Sure enough, there was a layer of salt on my shoes.
He didn't mean to do that.
"Master Liu is joking."
Zhou Wanggui quickly patted his boots and grinned, "If this can be considered stealing salt, then the entire Salt and Iron Yamen will probably be beheaded."
Liu Feng laughed, told Liu Yan to make some good tea, and got straight to the point.
"Master Zhou, I heard that there is only one salt farm in the entire Youzhou City. Does that fall under your jurisdiction?"
Zhou Wanggui had just picked up the teacup, but these words made him put it down again tremblingly.
That expression has changed a little.
"Master Liu, please don't take Yantian's attention."
"The person behind this, even though you have made outstanding achievements now, you still can't afford to offend him."
What is Liu Feng’s identity? If he asks Yantian, would he not have some ulterior motives?
Zhou Wanggui could guess Liu Feng's purpose with his toes.
"Master Zhou, could there be something fishy going on here? Please enlighten me, Master Zhou."
Zhou Wanggui's words made Liu Feng even more curious.
"The salt and iron industries are not entirely owned by the imperial court. For example, the iron mines managed by you, Lord Liu, are not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court."
"The court only has supervisory power."
"There is also a part of the business that is completely owned by merchants, and our Salt and Iron Office only has supervisory power."
"Iron ore is fine, most of it is owned by the imperial court."
"But the salt fields are different. Seventy percent of the salt fields in the entire Dali Dynasty are in the hands of salt merchants."
