Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 657 The thief's heart is immortal
In fact, the abundance of mines in minority areas is just one of them. The most important thing is that Lu Hao does not allow this kind of separatist behavior.

These ethnic minorities live in mountainous areas, which can be said to be barren and difficult to grow crops.

However, they don't know about the mines buried underground, or whether they can be used to make steel?Don’t even know what mines there are?How is it distributed?

Only people with strong soul power like Lu Hao can penetrate the underground soil and rocks and find these mining resources.

Of course, the manpower and material resources required to convert these mines into industrial raw materials are not something that ethnic minorities can afford.

"To tell you the truth, whether it is the southwest or the Yunmeng Mountains in the southeast, all kinds of mineral resources are very rich. The empire will invest a lot of money to develop those places..."

"Although these ethnic minorities rebelled before, but now they have surrendered to the empire, they are the subjects of the empire and cannot be treated differently. Moreover, to develop these mineral deposits, the manpower of ethnic minorities can be fully utilized..."

"At that time, the economy of these ethnic minorities will become more and more prosperous, and the living environment and living standards of the subjects will also be greatly improved..."

Lu Hao said eloquently.

In fact, roads are the first priority for economic take-off and prosperity. As long as the official roads of the empire are built to connect the cities around Negese, trade will prosper.

The establishment of various smelting plants and the mining of coal, iron ore, as long as ordinary people from ethnic minorities are used, they can earn wages, and every household will become rich.

For Negese and Jinling City, once the official roads are repaired, the two cities will also bring about huge development.

"Okay, who has anything else to do? Let's talk quickly."

Lu Hao looked around.

"Your Majesty, the Second Fleet of the Imperial Navy is being formed. The Imperial Adviser has sent the trained Marine Corps to Crescent Harbor. General Cheng Meng has officially taken over..."

"The First Army and the Second Army of the Imperial Central Army have been withdrawn according to the emperor's wishes and are resting in Hengyang City. The local security is handed over to the local government..."

"General Ding of the First Fleet of the Imperial Navy asked if he wanted to use troops against Zheng and Yue. During this time, he sent a reconnaissance ship to patrol the Dawan Strait..."

Xuanyuan Dingyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, reported loudly.

When Wu Qingyu heard this, he stood up, bowed slightly, and added: "The secret spies sent by Wei Chen to the two countries came with news that the intelligence networks of Zheng and Yue have always been evil. It is said that the two countries are instigated by the three dynasties. Gather the army..."

"Oh... gathering an army? Do they have an army?"

Lu Hao sneered.

"It is said that there are more than 10,000 people, which is probably the limit of the two countries."

Wu Qingyu responded.

"Hahaha... 20 people? It's not enough for me. If they don't mess with us, forget it. If they dare to harass the border, I will make them regret it."

Lu Hao laughed happily.

"Your Majesty, if they knew that the southwest region contains rich mining resources, they might really want to come here... What if they rob us too?"

Wu Qingyu raised a fatal question.

Before, Lu Hao robbed the two countries, and now it makes sense for the two countries to retaliate in the same way.

"Well... you are right. If they sneak through the mountains and rob the southwest region, they will be in trouble."

Lu Hao nodded slightly, feeling that this was really possible.

"Your Majesty, we are now on the long border in the west, and we still have General Wu Cangui's army of about 20, but the troops in the southwest are empty. If they really come here, they will definitely catch us by surprise."

Master Xuanyuan, Minister of the Ministry of War, also commented.

"Let's do this, Mr. Wu, you reorganize the espionage networks that have sneaked into the two countries. I will allocate an additional 2000 million taels of silver to you, mainly for the espionage networks targeting the two countries. I believe that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and they can Get useful information."

Lu Hao is really rich, and he directly asked Mr. Wu to throw money at people. "Thank you, Your Majesty. I will certainly get through the high-level officials of both countries and obtain accurate information."

Mr. Wu was very happy.

"By the way, how is the situation in the Sui Empire?"

Lu Hao suddenly asked.

"The Sui Empire suffered a big loss in the Yunmeng Mountains and secretly sent people to Dixin City. However, Dugu Sword Master seemed to ignore them. Later, after Dugu Jin was injured, he went to beg Dugu Sword Master to take action. However, until Now it seems that Dugu Sword Master has not agreed to his nephew’s request..."

"It wasn't until the emperor instantly killed two master-level masters, Baili Feiying and Tuoba Xueye. It is said that the news reached the ears of Dugu Sword Master, and he was touched. It seemed that he was preparing to take action against the emperor."

Wu Qingyu reported loudly.

"What? Is Dugu Sword Master going to take action against the emperor? What should we do?"

"Yes, I heard that Dugu Sword Master is the first of the four great masters and has a high talent in swordsmanship. If he takes action against the emperor, it will be troublesome!"

"Dugu Sword Master is going to take action? Is it true or false? Mr. Wu, is the news reliable?"

"If Dugu Sword Master is coming, we have to think about how to deal with this top powerhouse?"

"..."

When the ministers heard that Dugu Sword Master was coming to deal with Lu Hao, they were all excited and shocked.

"My dear friends, don't worry! If Dugu Sword Master doesn't come, that's fine. If he does come, I will teach him a lesson."

Lu Hao was full of confidence.

"Your Majesty, are you sure you can defeat Dugu Sword Master?"

Tantai Xiyao said in surprise.

"Even if I am not his opponent, but Jiu Sword Immortal is still in Yandi City, how can he watch Dugu Sword Saint kill me?"

Lu Hao smiled slightly.

"Yes! The Jiujianxian is still here, why are you afraid of him?"

Tantai Xiyao smiled.

In fact, with Lu Hao's current strength, even if he can't defeat Dugu Sword Master, he can at least defeat both sides with him. Even if he can't defeat him, no one can catch up with Lu Hao's shrinking size if he runs for his life.

Of course, after experiencing the baptism of thunder and lightning in the far north, Lu Hao's body finally broke through the limit and changed the system that was unable to practice martial arts in the past. Now he should be able to practice martial arts secrets from the mainland.

As luck would have it, Lu Hao also held several powerful martial arts secret books in his hand, including the supreme secret book "Huantian Wuxiang Divine Seal" from the Murong royal family.

Once this top skill on the road reaches the level of Dacheng, Lu Hao's strength will definitely rise to another level.

"By the way, Tang Aiqing, how is the gold medal I asked you to create?"

Lu Hao turned to look at Tang Yu.

Last time, in order to let Jiujianxian split two mountains and open the Grand Canal, he promised to give Jiujianxian a gold medal for "free of charge".

If we forget about this matter, how can we ask Jiujianxian to help deal with Dugu Swordsman?
"Reporting to the Emperor, it has been completed."

Tang Yu immediately stepped forward respectfully and took out a golden sign.
