Chapter 111

Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang in amazement. He didn't understand why he asked this question first, but he said, "it's a small village in Xinfeng County."

After hearing this, Wang Kang was relieved. Liushan told him the location of the iron mine, which was the village he was in before, but it had already disappeared with a mountain torrent

Now it has become a barren mountain, so it can be determined that the iron ore discovered at present is not the location Liushan told him.

Wang Kang thought about it and then asked, "even if iron ore is found, it's not worth your big names to go! What about the inspector? Have you returned to Beijing? "

"Why not?"

Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang and said, "needless to say, the treasure of iron ore is in fact scarce in Zhao. Moreover, most of the mineral resources are still in the hands of those old aristocrats."

"This makes the imperial court be hindered in this respect, and the sudden discovery of iron ore will naturally attract attention!"

Wang Dingchang said: "we have been mining iron ore for such a long time, and we have already transported it back to the Ministry of industry."

"Finished? So fast? " Wang Kang asked in surprise.

"Yes Wang Dingchang nodded, "it's really urgent this time. A large number of farmers have been requisitioned, and Yangzhou City garrison has been deployed..."

"In fact, it's understandable that the old monarch was so successful that he left behind a mess. The emperor of Zhao tried to improve the situation, but he had no goods in his hand. With iron ore, he could make iron, make weapons and farm tools. All these are inseparable from iron."

"So you don't want to continue exploration? Maybe we'll find iron ore again. " Wang Kang asked again.

"Of course, Xinfeng County is full of mountains, and the Ministry of work of the imperial court has no good way. It will take time." Wang Dingchang said.

"And at this time, the emperor of Zhao proposed to grant me Xinfeng County as a fief."

After hearing this, Wang Kang was also surprised. His father had been appointed Earl for two years. It is reasonable to say that he should have been granted land for a long time.

But every time the emperor of Zhao proposed it, it would be rejected. Whether in the local or in the court, the old aristocracy had great influence.

They also naturally know that Wang Dingchang is the Dao pushed by Zhao Huang to deal with them. Naturally, they don't want the Earl's house to grow.

The real meaning of nobility is not title, but fiefdom. Fiefdom is their own territory and has great autonomy.

Moreover, with the fiefdom, the private army can be expanded. This is the greatest significance.

Unexpectedly, the emperor of Zhao now proposed to give Xinfeng County to his father as a fief. Xinfeng County is very poor, but it may contain iron ore.

This meaning is completely different. I think it will be more obstructed.

"Since the emperor of Zhao wants to take me as a sword, he naturally wants to improve my strength. Otherwise, he will be killed before he can wait. How can he do that?"

Wang Dingchang said again: "this time the inspector came to Yangzhou just to find the reason for my fiefdom, but Zhao Huanggang proposed that he was opposed without accident."

With that, Wang Dingchang laughed at himself, "even Xuanping, governor of Xishan Province, and Hou Zhang Ao handed over the memorial! What kind of precious iron ore does Xinfeng County have? It should be managed by the local government, and it must not be granted land to the nobility! "

"Chaotang is in chaos. Just because of this matter of fiefdom, a small county that was originally poor and ill has become a hot spot. All parties want to intervene!"

Wang Kang's heart was awe inspiring. It seemed that the situation was not optimistic. The king of a country could not even preside over a fiefdom.

No wonder emperor Zhao is going to crack down on the old aristocrats.

As if seeing what Wang Kang thought, Wang Dingchang said: "it's actually quite good now compared with before. When Zhao Huanggang succeeded to the throne, the local warlords were under separate regimes, and the government decrees were impassable! It's always a stutter. "

"It's not easy to cut down the vassal and unload the expensive. It doesn't work if the pressure is light. If the pressure is heavy, it may rebel against other countries. It's not without such things."

Wang Kang was clear and asked, "is there any result now?"

"The emperor of Zhao has a tough attitude this time, and he wants to take advantage of it to fight with the old aristocracy. After endless arguments, Li Jitong, the supervisor, has come up with a compromise."

"What can I do?" Wang Kang asked.

Wang Dingchang said: "competition!"

"What is the contest?" Wang Kang is even more strange.

"The competition between the Earl's house and the assassin's house!" Seeing Wang Kang's doubts, Wang Dingchang explained.

"Dong Yiwu competed with us on behalf of the old aristocratic forces behind him. In this way, a big contradiction turned into a small problem, and finally Zhao Huang agreed."

"Because it's fair. Whoever wins or loses has nothing to say!"

Wang Kang was a little speechless. How did a feudalism end up like this, but this is the best way.

Wang Dingchang said again: "the contest is divided into three stages, namely, Wen, Wu and Hua. Wen is the theory of game. Wu is a contest between the two parties. Painting refers to painting."

"I can understand Wenwu. What's the ghost of painting?" Wang Kang asked in amazement.

"This was put forward by Dong Yiwu." Wang Dingchang said with a sneer: "there is a young Juncai called xiaohuasheng under the sheriff luochuannan. That's the idea they are fighting.""What's the winner of the contest? Two out of three? " Wang Kang asked again.

Wang Dingchang shook his head.

"No?" Wang Kang was stunned. The contest was outrageous enough. Is there anything more outrageous?

"That's what I'm most dissatisfied with. This competition stipulates that our Earl's house must win three games. Only if we win all three games can we win!"

"What?" Wang Kang suddenly stood up and said angrily, "there is no such stipulation!"

"Sit down!" Wang Dingchang sighed and said, "I know it's hard for you to accept, and so do I, but that's the situation!"

"Zhao Huang also agreed?" Wang Kang asked suspiciously.

"He can't help but agree. The governors of the two major provinces have jointly written a letter. The pressure on the Zhao emperor is no less than ours!" Wang Dingchang said helplessly.

"This contest is no longer a simple feudalism, but a real confrontation between the emperor Zhao and the old aristocrats, which is of extraordinary significance!"

"As the emperor of Zhao, it's also the first time that we confront him. It's also extremely important for us."

Wang Dingchang said in a deep voice: "even for the sake of fiefdom, we also have to fight for supremacy. Xinfeng County is likely to have iron ore. even if it doesn't have iron ore, even if it doesn't have forests and grass, it's also a fiefdom!"

"This is what the emperor Zhao has won for us. It's a rare opportunity, so we have to do our best. I've got hands on the martial arts test."

You don't have to worry about painting. In your grandfather's family, you have a genius who knows this very well, and you are also your cousin. If you compare with that talented man who is known as the little saint of painting, you are no better! "

"I've written to your mother to bring it when she comes back home."

"The only thing I'm worried about is game theory." Wang Dingchang looked at Wang Kang with a worried look.

"This should be easier! It's not easy to find an outstanding scholar, just give more money. " Wang Kang said with a smile.

"If not, give more money."

Hearing this, Wang Dingchang was speechless for a while. It seems that his son is still a black sheep, thinking about money.

Looking at Wang Kang, he said in a deep voice: "it's stipulated in the article test that you are not allowed to seek foreign aid. It's up to you to complete the strategy, and your opponent is Dong Yiwu's eldest son Dong Qian
