And he can't do anything.

Since Li Min wants to exchange for iron ore, then give it to him.

He believed that he would be able to exchange for food.

"Sure! Let's reach an agreement like this."

"By the way, there is something I want to tell you."

"you say."

"I think your population is increasing too fast. If you want to develop rapidly, your population must be limited. Only when resources are abundant can your various industries develop. Otherwise, population will only become a drag on you."

"Oh, are you teaching me how to do things?" Li Chengqian said instead.

"I'm telling the truth. It's up to you to believe it or not. I don't want to give you any advice. I just hope you don't fall too far behind, that's all."

"Don't worry, I won't be too far behind, and I will surpass you." Li Chengqian said.

Li Min smiled.

It is impossible to surpass himself. Does Li Chengqian know how much information Shengtang Group has?

Shengtang Group still has a lot of things that it has not yet come up with.

If he wants to surpass himself, that is just a fool's errand.

But people must have dreams, otherwise what is the difference between them and salted fish?

So Li replied: "Yes, I hope you can have more than me one day."

"That day won't be too far away. I believe there will be one day." Li Chengqian said again.

"I believe in you. Okay, you work hard and surpass me quickly. I'm done."

Li Min hung up the phone.

Then he picked up the phone again: "Zhang Wei, come here."

Soon Zhang Wei came up.

At this time, Zhang Wei stayed in Dongzhou and did not go back because of the last epidemic, and his presence also helped build the Dongzhou Shipyard.

It happened that Li Min needed some ships, so he asked Zhang Wei to come up.

"Sir, what do you want from me?" Zhang Wei asked.

"I'll give you a position. How about you let someone drive a ship to Nanzhou to haul iron ore there?"

Why is it a ship? It's because of Li Chengqian's place. He can't deposit all the treasures to Li Chengqian's place to prevent Li Chengqian from causing trouble.

That’s why I went to one first. After all, the people from Tianzhu are not very trustworthy.

"Yes sir."

"Also, the boat to them should not be too high-end, do you understand what I mean?"

Li Min wanted to be on guard against Li Chengqian and not give him too high-end ships.

Because there is no need, if Li Chengqian is given a ship that is too high-end, they may invade it.

"Then let's use the technology from five years ago?" Zhang Wei asked.

"I have an idea, please listen to it."

"Yes, sir, please say it!"

"What do you think about setting up a transit point in the ocean, where ships with previous technology can depart from there, carry goods there, and be transported back by our advanced ships?"

"It's feasible. In this case, there's no need to worry about the technology being leaked," Zhang Wei said.

In fact, Li Min is still wary of Li Chengqian now.

Why?

Because his population is increasing too fast, he may not know when his development will accelerate, but he has to put some pressure on him and not let him act recklessly.

After all, Li Chengqian's character is not very good.

"Then just do this. When can your boat come out?"

"We have existing ships that can depart from Taizhou."

Zhang Wei said.

"The technology there is from five or six years ago, or even older."

"Okay, let's start from there. You make the arrangements."

"clear!"

"What else can you do, sir?" Zhang Wei asked again.

"No, just this one thing, you have to do it well and hurry up, you know? We are short of iron ore now, and the iron ore cannot be stopped."

"Understood." After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he said, "Why don't you use ours?"

"Ours doesn't have enough manpower to mine it, and it's not as pure as theirs. Refining it can save a lot of processes."

Li Min said this.

"Yes, sir, I understand. Then I will make arrangements now."

"Okay, let's go."

Zhang Wei then left to make arrangements.

Li Min received another call from Di Renjie.

"What's wrong with Di Renjie?" Li Min asked.

"Sir, the train has been sent to Qingzhou. His Majesty has no plans to come back yet. However, during this trip, he was very satisfied with our train and even used the court's TV station to broadcast it. He also made some suggestions."

Di Renjie said this.

"Are his suggestions constructive?" Li Min asked.

"Some do, some don't."

"Then just listen to him, and just ignore him if he doesn't. Also, we can let the people of Chang'an City sit in for free, but they need to provide suggestions. In this way, we can do better!"

"Understood sir, I will make arrangements."

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"Sir, that..."

Di Renjie seemed to have something to say.

"I know what you are going to say. Come on, you can go to Dongzhou after Master Sun has developed the medicine."

Yes, Li Min wants Di Renjie to come to Dongzhou, because sometimes he is too busy alone, but it will be different if Di Renjie is there.

I can even go back to Chang'an to work.

Dongzhou was left to Di Renjie to deal with.

But he will still choose to travel between places.

Let’s look at the specific situation in detail.

But for now, he won't leave.

"Then I'll ask Master Sun how the situation is."

Di Renjie said excitedly.

He really wants to go to Dongzhou instead of staying here in Chang'an.

Because the development there in Dongzhou can make him more challenging.

People are like this. If you do something for a long time, it becomes boring.

And if it is in Dongzhou, Di Renjie will show off his talents, even better than Li Min.

Li Min naturally wants him to do well.

It's really wonderful to have him as an assistant.

Of course, he will also look for new people.

Especially talented people. In the future, Shengtang Group will be managed by them, and they can enjoy the results without doing anything.

Wouldn't that be better?

Of course, he will also keep pace with the times and provide some more advanced suggestions.

It is even possible to return to your own parallel world.

When technology develops to a certain level, it may be possible.

"Okay, then go ahead and ask. If you have any questions, please contact me directly."

"Okay, sir, I'm just afraid it will be too late and I don't want to disturb you."
