"How to say?"
Su Chen asked.
"This time, my father has not decided which county to grant to us. We may need to choose ourselves."
The eldest prince said, "However, the resource-rich counties in the Yaohai Kingdom have either been sealed off or divided up by the powerful families. There are not many counties to choose from. If it is a common
A common or even barren county will not be of much use."
"I understand, if that's the case, you have to choose the best county among the available options."
Su Chen nodded and said.
"Yes, that's right. So, I want to ask you to give me your eyes."
The eldest prince said, taking out a map of Yaohai Kingdom from the space ring.
"Why are you looking for me, Your Highness? I don't know much about the situation in the counties of Yaohai Kingdom."
Su Chen shook his head and said, "You should go to Master Chu, maybe he can give you some advice."
"To be honest, I have already been to Emperor Chu's place."
The eldest prince sighed, "But the old man only gave me four words, that is, let nature take its course."
"Let nature take its course?"
Su Chen smiled faintly and said, "It seems that Emperor Chu's master really advocates rule by inaction."
"Yes, I guess the fourth brother has also gone to see Master Chu, but given his old man's character, he probably only gave him these four words."
The eldest prince smiled bitterly and said, "However, he can let nature take its course, but I can't let nature take its course. Whether this fief is chosen well or not is directly related to what kind of power I can cultivate in the future. Therefore, I absolutely cannot let nature take its course.
Just pick whatever you want."
"Do you have a goal that you are leaning toward?"
Su Chen thought for a while and asked.
"Yes, I tend to choose these counties..."
The eldest prince unfolded the map. There are a total of one hundred and twenty-eight in this Yaohai Kingdom.
The county is astonishingly vast, and this is just a country in Zhongzhou.
The eldest prince pointed to several counties on the map and explained them to Su Chen.
Su Chen took a look and found that these counties were indeed better choices. In terms of geographical location, resources, etc., they were all the better choices for the eldest prince at the moment.
However, it is only "better". From the eldest prince's introduction, there is nothing that makes people shine.
In other words, it seems impossible to widen the gap with the fourth prince by choosing a fiefdom.
"Brother Xian, are you not very optimistic about these counties?"
Seeing Su Chen's indifferent expression, the eldest prince stopped explaining and asked.
"These counties are good, but they are not good enough."
Su Chen said.
"I also know that these counties are not good enough and can even be said to be average. But for now, they are already the best among the options available."
The eldest prince also said helplessly.
"An ordinary county is of little use to you now."
Su Chen shook his head and said.
"Then, brother Yixian, come and see, what should we do?"
The eldest prince asked humbly.
Su Chen pondered for a moment, his eyes moving back and forth on the map. Suddenly, Su Chen's eyes fell on one of the places named "Chiming County".
"Where is this Chiming County?"
Su Chen asked.
"Chiming County is one of the poorest counties in Yaohai Kingdom."
The eldest prince frowned and said, "Most of Chiming County
They are all red stones, which are harder than steel, cannot grow any plants, and cannot be used for any other purpose. It can be said to be the most useless kind of stone."
Waste stone?
Su Chen shook his head. He just saw familiar words so he asked casually. Unexpectedly, Chiming County is really a place rich in Chiming stones.
In fact, the red stone is not useless at all.
And, on the contrary, this stone is actually quite valuable!
This kind of stone can be said to be the most popular weapon-refining material in the Dan Territory. In the Dan Territory, the place where this red dark stone exists has always been a battleground for all major forces.
The biggest feature of the magic weapons refined from Red Powder Stone is that it is hard, which is harder than most raw materials. Some organizations such as the military especially like the magic weapons refined from Red Powder Stone because of the high yield of Red Powder Stone.
It is large, and the quality of the refined weapons is very stable, far better than many other raw materials.
As for why the eldest prince said that the red stone is useless stone?
In fact, the answer is very simple, that is, red stone does not melt when heated!
It is common sense that materials that do not melt when heated cannot be used for refining purposes.
However, Danyu has developed technology that can melt the Red Benevolent Stone, so it can utilize the Red Benefit Stone.
After the red stone was utilized, its advantages allowed it to quickly replace the original weapon refining material and become the most popular weapon refining material in the Dan Realm.
But now, in the Yaohai Kingdom, it is obvious that the use of red stone has not yet been developed.
If once developed, it goes without saying how much the half of Chiming Stone in Chiming County would be worth!
"Does Your Highness have any samples of the Chiming Stone from Chiming County on hand now?"
Su Chen asked, he needed to make sure that this red stone was that red stone, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he got it wrong.
"Not now, but if you need it, brother Xian, I can immediately send someone to go to Chiming County to collect the samples as quickly as possible."
The eldest prince said, then hesitated, "But what do you want the samples there? Could it be..."
"We'll know when we get the samples back."
Su Chen, however, gave it up for the time being.
The eldest prince looked deeply at Su Chen, nodded and said: "Okay, I will send someone to go to Chiming County immediately to retrieve the sample of Chiming Stone. It will be available in three days at the latest."
"Okay." Su Chen nodded.
"Brother, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave first."
The eldest prince stood up and said, "Finally, I want to say that I am really happy that you can be my friend."
"me too."
Su Chen smiled slightly.
…
In the next two days, Su Chen continued to practice.
On the third day, the eldest prince came on time as scheduled and brought a sample of the red stone.
"This is a sample of Chiming stone collected from Chiming County. About half of the place in Chiming County is covered with this kind of stone, so there is no grass growing there and it is very barren."
The eldest prince said, handing the sample to Su Chen.
"It is indeed it."
Su Chen took it and after just one glance, he was sure that this was the red stone that he had seen in the Dan Realm in his previous life.
"Brother, these red stones..."
The eldest prince asked confused, obviously not understanding what Su Chen meant.
"Your Highness, I suggest you choose Chiming County as your fiefdom."
Su Chen said.
"Choose Chiming County?"
