315 Perfusing Steel Technique (2/2)

”About the coal, I will find a way to solve it. Big Brother Liu, you don't have to worry!”

”Great!” Liu Mo was elated.

As the steelmaking technique had already taken shape, Ouyang Shuo decided on the spot to create a large scale steel factory to satisfy the territorial steel needs.

For the location and construction, Ouyang Shuo gave all the authority to Liumo.

When he returned to the Lord's Manor, Ouyang Shuo immediately sent Feng Qiuhuang a letter to discuss the coal deal.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to invest in a large scale coal mine within her border through the Four Seas Bank. The coal obtained would specifically be sent to Shanhai County.

Of course, one needed to find a coal mining technical manual. If not, it would all be for naught.

Coal was called black stone during the olden times, and its uses weren't common. To find such a technical manual, one needed to spend a lot of effort.

Ouyang Shuo directly sought the help of the Hequanji Chamber of Commerce and the Cui Chamber of Commerce to help him search.

Mulan County, Lord's Manor.

After the New Years, the temperature in Lianzhou Basin started to slowly turn cold.

Looking out of her window, Mulan Yue was out of sorts. After coming back from Jingdou, she had heavy thoughts and would look out through the window in a daze.

If one didn't know, they would think that she was thinking about her lover.

Li Feixue stood behind her, as she played with the dagger in her hand. The dagger was really exquisite, a gift from Mulan Yue when they went to Jingdou.

After the battle of Zhennan Pass, Li Xuefei had joined Mulan County. At the start, her father's death made her very solemn and demoralized, but Mulan Yue's care helped her walk out of the shadow. Hence, she was very reliant on Mulan Yue.

So, she insisted on staying at Mulan Yue’s side to take the role of her personal guard.

Li Feixue might look like a small girl, but her martial arts skills weren't to be trifled with. With her by her side, Mulan Yue was safe. As such, Mu Guiying could spend most of her time in the barracks.

Without Mu Guiying, Mulan Yue became more independent and stronger. Her strength and ability started to show in the territory.

The little brat was able to aptly deal with territory matters.

Running a County was a big challenge to Mulan Yue.

Luckily, she had a talent for developing the economy of the territory. With her personality that didn't want to lose, she ran the county well.

If not, the Mulan Yue in Ouyang Shuo’s last life wouldn't be one of the three heads of the Lianzhou Basin, who would not lose in a battle against Ba Dao and Xiaofeng Canyue.

Her ability to learn from others was her strong point.

The local specialties of Shanhai County inspired her, so she pushed for cole planting.

As expected, the oil was very popular and helped the County profit.

Not only that, Mulan Yue also brought in the colored silkworms industry from Shanhai County and ran it well.

The economic ability of Mulan County wasn't that bad amongst the Shanhai Alliance.

In terms of administrative organization, she copied Shanhai County’s model.

Dealing with administrative matters was her weak point.

The NPCs that spawned, although they weren’t as old school as the olden chinese, but they still had doubts in a female lord.

This was the reason why most female lords couldn't become as famous.

Mulan Yue wasn't like Bai Hua and Feng Qiuhuang, who had a bunch of people at their sides. She lacked training, so she could only take things step by step in regards to administrative matters.

She passed a large portion of it to her subordinates to handle.

”Feixue, go call Sister Mu,” Mulan Yue turned around and said.

”Ai!” Li Feixue replied. She stored her dagger and ran off. Her braid flung around in the air, and she looked really cute.

A few moments later, Mu Guiying rushed over.

”Sister, I thought about it. It's time to move Mulan County under Brother Wuyi's territory,” Mulan Yue said something shocking; this was the matter on her mind. Finally, she had her answer.

Mu Guiying remained quiet. She knew that once Mulan Yue made a decision, it was hard to change it.

”Ok, let's make a trip to Shanhai County.”

”Sister, you agree?” Mulan Yue said happily.

”Of course, I support you!” When she saw Mulan Yue slowly grow, Mu Guiying felt happy.
