When escorting the captives back to Changli, the old lady almost dropped his jaw in surprise, he didn't expect Lu Peng's Lu family army to be so strong, just half a day, the Liaodong overlord Gongsun Du was wiped out, so that Changli County was safe.

Although Gongsun Du was unwilling to fight, but thinking about the terrifying giant arrows in the sky, the terrifying telescopic spear, and the terrifying mountain-like formation, Gongsun Du also had to put away his ambition to peep at Changli, and began to change from a fierce attack to a trembling defense, for fear that Lu Peng would have a big appetite and grab his own territory.

Lü Peng arranged for Pan Feng to be stationed in Changli to guard against Gongsun Du in the east and the occasional Wuhuan rangers in the north, and he took Wu Jian to carry out the work of the great migration of the population of Changli County.

After being slaughtered and invaded, the remaining population is only thirty or forty thousand, and there are only a few thousand people in Changli City, and the others are scattered in the vast wilderness.

Directly moved all the thousands of people in Changli City to the south, and completely turned Changli into Pan Feng's base camp, which also reduced his burden.

Then they sent out a team of ten people to go down into the wilderness, looking for the scattered people, and informing the soldiers to help them go south, of course, if they didn't want to, they didn't force it.

Lü Peng took 3,000 people and 4,000 captives to Bohai Bay, which was later known as the Bijia Mountain area, and chose a huge flat land with mountains and seas, and began to build new towns and wharves, which immediately became a huge construction site.

Stones for construction are everywhere, and there are thousands of years of undeveloped forests in the mountains that provide wood for the construction of houses.

According to the plan, everyone worked in full swing. We must hurry, winter is coming, and in this north, winter can freeze to death.

With the stability of this place, more and more people who got the news began to rush over with their families and families to join in, so that the population here slowly increased.

On the tenth day, a fleet of large and small fishing boats appeared on the sea, which were hired by Su Shuang to bring much-needed supplies to Quanzhou, Luxian County.

After two years of operation, the income from land rent has basically met the grain needs of its area, and the new places in various places have carried out active summer plowing and summer planting, so the materials in the hands of Lu Peng can be described as abundant.

The arrival of materials made the gathered people see hope, and their motivation was higher.

Of course, there is no entry and no exit, and Lu Peng is going to lose money, which is not in line with Lu Peng's idea of being a money fan. Fortunately, in this western Liaoning, the land is sparsely populated, has not really been developed, countless primeval forests cover this land, there are not only countless wolves, tigers and leopards, but also ginseng Ganoderma lucidum, in this place, this incomparably precious herb, is simply a price with radish and cabbage, once transported to the Central Plains, it is immediately ten times the profit.

So after the fleets unloaded the supplies, the various herb skins that Lu Peng had already purchased were loaded onto the ship and began to be transported to the Central Plains.

With the materials from the south as the foundation and the materials from the south as the return, the Bohai Bay Wharf became more prosperous and stable, so Lu Peng began to implement his next two major events.

The first thing is that he is obsessed with the person named Tai Shi Ci, according to history, this guy was born in Shandong, because of the disaster to run to Liaodong, for the filial piety, now the northeast sea of Shandong, Kong Rong, know that he is a hero, so he wants to recruit him, with the method is, continue to take care of the old lady he left, two years later, see the grandson of the Tai Shi Ci returned to his hometown in Shandong, his wife will take care of Kong Rong to him, so this guy in order to repay Kong Rong for the care of his mother, helped Kong Rong and relieved the siege of Beihai.

From this point of view, this guy has not really served Gongsun Du, that is, the so-called famous flower has not yet been mastered, and he must be wooed.

So, according to the historical records, Lu Peng immediately instructed Liu Chu, who was in external affairs, to find Tai Shici's mother, of course, not only to take care of her, but also to directly deceive Lu County, saying that it was good to say that it was for the safety of the old lady, and it was not good to say that Lu Peng took out his nature of kidnapping hostages, and directly took the old lady as a hostage, and then ordered someone to give Tai Shi Ci and bring a letter.

For such a method, Liu is familiar with it.

The grass construction of Jinzhou Port was rough, so Lü Peng used 4,000 captives to start digging coal on the ground of Changli.

Changliyi County is his hometown in his previous life, where there is coal, that is a deep memory, so in the eyes of others, that is, the fingers of the gods, with a group of people, walked in the barren mountains and mountains, and then looked around, compared with the terrain of the later generations, and pointed his hand to the ground: "There is coal here." ”

Or stomping your feet: "Here's the coal." ”

That was a statement that made everyone convinced of his identity as an immortal descendant.

With the accurate location, coupled with the 4,000 captive laborers, things were done smoothly and efficiently, especially when Lu Peng announced to those captives that he had done it for three years, released to the civilians, and paid for the land, which made the captives even more motivated, and within a few days, the soil layer was not thick and high-quality coal was produced.

Lu Peng immediately began to build a simple charcoal-burning kiln on the spot, and he didn't care about any environmental protection, so he directly began to make coke with thick smoke.

Seeing that a small piece of light coke could boil a large pot of boiling water when placed in the marching stove, Su Shuang was surprised and happy at that time. With this thing, the march and combat will save a lot of effort to chop firewood and so on, especially when this thing comes out, it can make the army fight in winter, the soldiers' tents are no longer ice cellars, but can be warm like spring.

Holding the still hot coke, Lu Peng said to Su Shuang proudly: "Second brother only saw the usefulness of this thing I called coke in the army, in fact, you didn't expect that this is a huge source of wealth for me in the future." ”

As soon as he heard that he could get money, Su Shuang's eyes immediately became a white rabbit, it was blood-red, and he knew that as long as his third brother saw the financial resources, it would be absolutely huge and crazy.

"The heat of this thing is much higher than charcoal, and smelting iron ore with this thing is not only more efficient and faster, but most importantly, according to my method, it can also directly train steel."

At that time, Su Shuang's lips trembled for a long time and he couldn't speak.

At the same time, now, the smelters have been released from the imperial court control, and small blast furnaces abound in various places, and iron smelting with coke can not only increase speed, but also increase output and efficiency, Su Shuang has absolute confidence that as soon as his unique thing comes out, he will get a huge profit in the iron factory in Youzhou.

Thinking of this, and looking at this inconspicuous thing in his hand, it is not coke, it is a piece of gold.

Ignoring the second brother who kept gritting his teeth and looking at the coke as gold, Lu Peng smiled and turned his head to look at the old lady Shou Wang Zhi, whose face had become ruddy: "I will hand over this coal mine coke to Changli to take care of, and I will not open it to the outside world for three years, so that the old lady can sell this coke to my second brother and let him traffic the world, and then the old lady will still worry about Changli's finances?" ”

Lao Wang Zhi trembled excitedly: "Don't worry, as long as this thing is sold, my Changli will become the richest county in the eastern part of Youzhou. ”

Su Shuang immediately jumped out and said: "What are you waiting for in the future, I will order ten ships now, no, one hundred ships of coke, I want it now, you old lady Shou said, what materials to exchange." ”

So the red-faced old lady shou and Su Shuang ran to the side and muttered, and after a while, the old lady ran back and said excitedly to Lu Peng: "From the end of the month, I Changli no longer need your subsidy and relief." Then he thought about it for a while, and took the initiative to propose: "Not only that, but I will also take out some money, grain and materials to subsidize Beiping County in western Liaoning." ”

This is the virtuous minister of the old Cheng Mouguo. Lu Peng was relieved. Lv Peng is ready to make great plans to build Changli and Fuxin into his own coal and coke base, with this base, the grand goal of exchanging steel for victory in the future can be completely realized.
