Chapter 657
"That's right." Princess Daisy sighed.
Darlene continued, "The trading of iron ore is carried out within the kingdom. It is precisely because of this that your kingdom cannot develop and your wealth will not increase, but will decline instead."
"The iron ore business is all in our kingdom, why do we earn less wealth?" Princess Daisy was puzzled.
"Although your Oli Dwarf Kingdom has a lot of iron ore, as far as I know, it doesn't seem to have the production capacity for daily necessities such as linen. It basically relies on imports. The gold coins spent in this way are 253 huge, and a large amount of wealth flows into other countries. In the hands of merchants, the wealth produced by iron ore cannot keep up with consumption, so how can the wealth increase?" Darlene said calmly, what she said was taught by Liu Feng, and she had studied it for a long time before she understood it.
"This..." Princess Daisy opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a word of rebuttal. After thinking about it carefully, what the other party said seemed to be the shortcomings of the current Aoli Dwarf Kingdom.
"Brother Mu, do you think so too?" Princess Daisy looked at Mu Le who was silent at the side.
Mu Le was stunned for a moment, and nodded after hesitation. His father had already told him about this issue, but the king was very stubborn, and some opinions were all rejected.
Princess Daisy was silent for a moment, then said, "I will go back and talk to my father."
Hearing this, Darlene and the three girls looked at each other, and at the same time saw the joy in each other's eyes.
"Can you give me a bottle of wine that is better than Youhe Daqu?" Princess Daisy looked at Darlene and asked.
"Okay, and these things may help you convince your father." Darlene nodded and pointed to the things in the box next to her. Among them was a bottle of wine in a bamboo tube with a price of one gold coin on it.
Besides that, there are some things like lollipops and instant noodles.

Chapter 0785 traces of rubber trees? !
In the afternoon of Xiyang City, in the area where the scientific research department is located, a carriage came galloping, and finally stopped steadily in front of the gate of the scientific research department.
A man and a woman got out of the car, they were Liu Feng and Mina.
"My lord." The soldier guarding the gate saluted Liu Feng.
Liu Feng nodded calmly, then took Mina into the scientific research department, and walked straight to the research institute.
In the research institute, Fox Erniang was fiddling with something and turned her head when she heard footsteps.
"Master." Seeing that it was Liu Feng, An Li wagged her tail and smiled happily.
"Thank you." Liu Feng smiled gently.
It was An Li who sent the news to Liu Feng earlier. The rewards written by Liu Feng before were sent to the underground bounty club, but I didn't expect the efficiency of the bounty club to be quite high, so I found what Liu Feng wanted so quickly. those materials.
"Young master, it's not hard, come and see, is this rubber?" An Li was very happy, and handed over the things in her hand.
Liu Feng curiously took the thing in An Li's hand. It was a spherical object, off-white in color, with many sundries mixed in it, and it was quite heavy in his hand.
"This looks quite similar." Liu Feng said pleasantly after checking it.
"Master, is this rubber? The material used to make bicycle wheels?" Mina asked curiously. Seeing the young master's happy expression, there was a smile on his face.
"Not yet, it still needs to be processed. This is just the appearance of the resin after it has solidified. It needs to be processed before it can be used in tires." Liu Feng tossed the rubber ball in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be concealed.
He turned his head to look at Hu Er Niang and asked, "An Li, who did you get this from?"
"The news from the bounty club is from a small town in the south of the Kingdom of Yingluo. It is said that it is extracted from the sap from a tree with three leaves." An Li said from behind. He took out a letter from the table and handed it to Liu Feng.
Since Xiyang City put some relatively rough paper on the market, common people's homes would buy some and use it for their children to practice calligraphy.
After all, Xiyang City is vigorously promoting reading and literacy, and paper is a necessity.
Therefore, some other forces in Xiyang City have improved in writing, giving up the parchment and using paper instead.
"A tree with three leaves, isn't this a rubber tree?" Liu Feng looked at the contents of the letter and asked in surprise. He didn't expect that there were rubber trees in this world, which was completely beyond his expectation, but it was As expected.
The rubber trees he planted outside Xiyang City are also rubber three-leaf trees. Rubber three-leaf trees can be grown in many regions and climates and have a very high survival rate. This is why Liu Feng chose this tree to collect rubber.
I didn't expect that the tree had been found elsewhere before it grew.
Moreover, it was mentioned in the letter that the trees planted on the hills around the small town were all rubber three-leaf trees, all over the entire mountain forest, and they were all very old, which made Liu Feng even more delighted.
"Looks like I'm going to send someone to the south." Liu Feng put down the letter, looked at the rubber ball on the table, and there was a look of certainty in his black eyes.
Rubber is of great importance, and the future development of Xiyang City is inseparable from rubber.
Not only bicycle wheels need a lot of rubber, but all cars that are expected to be built in the future will need rubber, including the current carriage. If they are replaced with rubber tires, the speed will be greatly increased again and the driving will be more stable.
And with rubber, it means that the shoes can be reformed, and the soles will be replaced with rubber, which will be more wear-resistant.
Wearing it on soldiers can improve their combat capabilities, and they will be more flexible during night raids and other operations, and will not be discovered by the enemy.
"In the south, I remember that there is a branch of the Youshui River that goes deep there, and you can go there by boat." Mina's blue eyes flickered, and she said softly.
"Go by boat, yes, just to transport some goods over there, first open the market over there." Liu Feng nodded, he was thinking, who would be better to let go there.
"Is the young master looking for candidates?" An Li asked softly.
Liu Feng nodded. Now that most people have their own work to do, he needs to find someone he can trust.
"I plan to set up a workshop directly there, and the rubber will be processed and then transported back."
After all, the craftsmanship of rubber is very important. He planned to set up a workshop there when he went to the south this time. It would be much more convenient to make the rubber directly and then transport it back. When it comes to the confidentiality of rubber technology, ordinary people Liu Feng can't trust it.
"Let Niu San go. Recently, he is training the third team of Wolf Warriors. Let him take him outside to experience. If a workshop is set up there, people will be stationed there, and the merchant ships traveling with him will be much safer." Mina After thinking about it, he suggested.
"` "Niu San? It seems that there is no more suitable candidate than him." Liu Feng thought for a while, and felt that it made sense.
Niu San has been liberated from the logistics department. Recently, he has been training the third team of Wolf Warriors as a backup force.
There are currently three wolf warrior teams, one was formed by Liu Feng first, and now the members of that wolf warrior team have basically become instructors, leading recruits to train.
The second team of wolf warriors is stationed in Somalia City, managed by Niu Da, and the rest go out to do missions or monitor other cities.
The third team of wolf warriors is currently being trained by Niu San, and the selection is also the best among the soldiers.
"Let's go, go back to the castle first, Tees wants to eat hot pot tonight." Liu Feng smiled lightly, finding the rubber made him very happy.
"It's so good to have hot pot tonight." An Li was very excited. She hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time. Just talking about hot pot made her drool.
She reported the name of the dish while walking, "I want to eat hairy belly and blood. By the way, I also want some beef."
She only ate these once, and they were all made by Liu Feng. After eating them once, she began to think about them.
"Okay." Liu Feng smiled lightly, his appetite whetted when he mentioned this.
"I just know how to eat, but I don't see you getting bigger." Mina teased, and glanced at An Li's breasts.
"You weird catwoman, watch your tricks." An Li rushed towards Mina angrily, and the two started fighting on the road.
