I opened a mall in ancient times

Iron ore is more sensitive.

At any time, these two things, salt and iron, are mainly government-run, and only a very small part will be contracted by private parties, and this contract will only be contracted by private parties and opened for production with the permission and authorization of the government.

Ordinary small businessmen will not be allowed to own private iron mines.

If it was put in the past, Luo Chaochao would definitely not have any thoughts about this iron mine, but now, it is really impossible to say that he has no thoughts.

The current iron forging methods are still simple steelmaking, the process is complex, time-consuming, and requires relatively high craftsmanship from craftsmen. It takes a relatively long time to make a weapon.

It's okay to make it a year ago, since there's still a lot of time anyway.

But now I don't know when the war will start. Naturally, the more weapons the better, the more they can give people a sense of security, the more the demand for weapons and some armors will become.

"Look how big this iron mine is." Luo Chaochao said to 998, and 998 responded and began to scan the area of ​​this iron mine.

Miaojiang is in the southwestern part of the entire Sheng Kingdom, bordering Southeast Asia. This place is a rainforest area with lush trees, many insects, and highly poisonous creatures such as poisonous snakes and scorpions.

They are similar to Chenla and Siam, and they are all vassal states of Sheng Kingdom, but the central government of Sheng Kingdom has stronger jurisdiction over Miao territory.

However, the terrain of the place where Miao Jiang lives is relatively complicated, and it is very prone to accidents when traveling in the rainforest, and I heard that Miao Jiang can manipulate insects, and it is difficult to completely attack them, so they will give the opponent autonomy after violently subduing them. .

They were not worried that Miao Jiang would not let go of the iron mine, because the iron mine was outside of Miao Jiang, and if it really broke up, Sheng Kingdom would not mind sending troops to Miao Jiang.

That's right, Emperor Qing, the current emperor of Sheng Kingdom, is indeed a wise emperor, he will listen to the opinions of the people and make corrections, but special circumstances are treated specially. Iron ore is no joke, especially during wartime, it is the lifeblood of a country.

998 quickly scanned the area and reserves of iron ore.

In fact, the area and reserves of this iron mine are not large, less than 10 square meters in total, and the reserves are only 10 billion tons.

This is not so much compared to modern industry. In ancient times, it was simply a super-large iron mine that was rare in the sky and underground, enough to feed the country for hundreds of years and still inexhaustible.

If this was a smaller mini iron mine, Luo Chaochao might have taken it privately and conducted some experiments on his own.

It turned out to be so big, and it was still near Miaojiang, so there must be no way to hide it by yourself.

Luo Chaochao thought about it and decided to report it.

Before leaving, Luo Chaochao left his aura and enchantment on the iron mine, enclosing the land as his own, and warned the big monsters around him not to come over.

The monsters who originally lived near this mountain range fled away after feeling the breath of Luo Chao.

They didn't even have time to figure out where the dragon came from.

They only know that since there are bigger monsters that need this territory, they can only let it out.

And the remaining big monsters can distinguish the source of the breath from these breaths.

They have recognized Luo Chao.

For these remaining monsters, Luo Chaoxi did not deliberately drive them away, but instead ordered them to watch over here for him, and not to let irrelevant people come over.

These monsters agreed with all their mouths.

They didn't want to leave because they learned from the other big monsters that Luo Chaochao was not a monster who liked to kill innocent people indiscriminately, otherwise they would have run away long ago.

After Luo Chaochao left, these big monsters who were left behind were wondering why Luo Chaochao chose this place as their territory.

They failed to see Luo Chao Chao, and even the order to protect this place was obtained from the coercion from the other party.

But this does not prevent them from making various guesses about the Luo tide.

Wouldn't it be better for him to go to the capital city? After all, the capital city is his base camp, and it is where the dragon energy gathers under the heavens. Practicing there will get twice the result with half the effort. If everyone wants to go, they still can't go there. They have to find such a wild place to settle down.

Everyone thought about it, but they couldn't understand what Luo Chaochao was thinking. They could only guard the land for Luo Chaochao in a daze.

Facts have proved that Luo Chaochao's act of letting these monsters protect the land for him is not superfluous.

On the second day after Luo Chaochao left, the monsters living in this land felt another extremely evil and terrifying aura.

The big monsters mobilized together, but they couldn't find the source of the breath. The evil breath just passed by, as if they were just passing by.

But the monsters did not take it lightly.

Luo Chao Chao personally ordered them to come down, so they naturally had to be prepared, and they couldn't relax their vigilance just because they were suspicious but couldn't find anyone.

Moreover, such a terrifying big monster will make everyone feel jealous.

How is their place?

The only dragon in the world came to enclose the territory, and now there is another big monster coming, I don't know if it is fighting for the territory or what is going on.

What came over was naturally the resentment of the Lu family.

This wronged soul is a collection of resentment, the more hatred, the stronger it is.

Their hatred for Luo Chaoxie and this Sheng Kingdom has reached a terrifying level. It is only a few years of resentment, but its cultivation base is much stronger than most thousand-year-old monsters. After its birth, he even He hunted down many monsters and common people, devoured the spirit of human beings and the cultivation of monsters, and even went to the previous battlefields to restrain many unjustly dead souls as his soldiers.

The Lu family's undead souls can now be called the king of ghosts. Roughly counting, there are at least tens of thousands of undead army in their hands.

There are even many evil monsters who have been squeezed so that they can't survive, defect to the other party and become a general under their command.

He has been staring at Luo Chao Chao, trying to grasp Luo Chao Chao's every move, looking for opportunities from it.

It can be regarded as a coincidence.

Luo Chaochao is used to being watched, especially after he awakens.

After he awakened, whether it was a little monster or a chaotic ghost, they all looked at him subconsciously after seeing Luo Chao Chao.

This may be admiration or curiosity, but it is not malicious.

Luo Chaochao was not used to it at first, but after being seen a lot, Luo Chaochao got used to it.

It was precisely because of this that the little ghosts sent by the Lu family mixed in with these ghosts, but they were not very conspicuous, and they saw all the actions of Luo Chaochao in their eyes.

But also in order not to attract attention, the undead sent out by the Lu family had just become conscious and could have simple conversations, but they couldn't accurately identify some abnormalities.

So the dead souls of the Lu family know that Luo Chaochao is just a man with some tricks. Ordinary people may know some spells, but compared with the Lu family's resentment, they are still far behind.

It's not that the Lu family never thought of attacking Luo Chaoxi when he was alone, but Luo Chaoxi has a layer of merit and dragon energy protection, and every time he attacks him, he is diverted due to various reasons.

Unless the Lu family resented their actions, there was really no way to do anything to Luo Chaoxi with the monsters and ghosts under his hands.

The Lu family can barely understand that the Dragon Qi is due to the blessing of the emperor. As for the merit...he can't understand it, but maybe it's because Luo Chaochao built bridges and paved roads to benefit the people after making money.

Since there is no way to attack Luo Chaochao directly, he can only find another way.

What's more, the main goal of the Lu family now is not Luo Chaochao, but the entire Sheng Kingdom.

Isn't it the Emperor Qing of Sheng Kingdom who wiped out their entire family?

The Lu family followed Luo Chaochao to this mountain, but it didn't find anything different here, it just thought it was a barren mountain, and there were not even a few monsters living in it.

But the Lu family's resentment believes that there must be other uses for the place where Luo Chaochao cared and left the enchantment.

It doesn't matter if you don't know, anyway, you can do it with your hands and feet.

"Master Ghost King, I have already prepared everything." A few monsters stood aside and said respectfully to a black shadow standing beside him.

The black shadow was more than two meters high, all black, only the facial features were as red as blood.

His body was covered with miasma, and the weeds that grew on the barren hills turned yellow and died directly after the other party walked by.

King Lu Gui looked at the faint golden barrier and stretched out his hand.

The scarlet viscera gushing out from his body instantly covered the land, covering the golden barrier, trying to corrode the barrier and invade it, but this barrier was extremely hard and could not be broken through at all. Tried several times without success.

The ghost king was a little annoyed, but he didn't continue to attack, but changed his angle.

"Poison everything here." The Ghost King ordered, "Whoever comes here will be poisoned to death."

Isn't this the place Luo Chao chose?Then he will turn this place into a ghost land!Become his nourishment pool!

However, he still underestimated Luo Chao Chao's strength.

His enchantment not only protects the upper part, but also protects the underground, and all places covered by the enchantment cannot be broken through.

When the ghost king found that he couldn't even start from the land, he was so angry that he wanted to kill people, so he could only spread a layer of poisonous miasma with a thickness of [-] meters around the barrier. Killed a few miasma ghosts under his hands to add to his head.

He was furious, but there was nothing he could do, he could only hope that the miasma would start to take effect.

Before the monsters guarding this place came, the Ghost King of the Lu family left with his men, leaving only the miasma behind.

"What should I do?" Several big monsters looked at each other in blank dismay.

Such a large miasma, even they can't clear it up in a short time.

"Wait." A bird-like monster said after flying around in the sky to check: "The enchantment laid by the lord is purifying the surrounding miasma. At this speed, it can be purified within three hours at most."

While lamenting the power of Luo Chaochao, all the demons feel sorry for the ghost king who spread the miasma.

Even if it is a ghost king, it would be a tough job to set up such a large miasma formation.

In the end, Luo Chao Chao's enchantment was left alone, and the miasma under it had to be purified.

Just miserable.

After wasting a lot of effort, it turned out to be useless.

The news about the iron mine was not sent immediately, and Luo Chaochao was a little tangled.

He holds the craftsmanship of steel pouring method in his hand, as long as he sends it out, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the emperor.

Just the food and the earth and cement clairvoyance are enough to make him suspicious, and now he took out this thing...

I don't have time to argue with myself now, what about in the future?

What about after the war?

Ke Luo Chao only hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the emperor.

There was no reason, he just didn't want people to die.
