Chapter 333: Greenhouse (1)_1
Chu Suifeng was genuinely interested in the black powder that Lin Ziyin mentioned. As the master of the Northern Land, he had lived frustrating years. Since he was sent away at the age of six and witnessed the desolation of the Northern Land, despite his tireless efforts to govern, the poverty of the Northern Land had only slightly improved.
Due to the climate of The Northern Land, its vast territory with sparse population, the inaction of the Imperial Court, and the harassment of the Tatars, he was mentally and physically exhausted. His heart was willing, but his strength was insufficient - this was a true portrayal of his daily feelings.
As a man, who doesn’t want to achieve something significant? But unfortunately, too many factors limited his progress. There were also many coastal areas in the Northern Land, with a considerable number of fishermen. These fishermen lived even more impoverished lives.
Chu Suifeng initially wanted to improve the lives of these fishermen, but he lacked the capability for change.
Now Lin Ziyin had given him a glimmer of hope, and he certainly was willing to strive to realize this desire.
"Spare no effort in finding it." He once again gave the order.
"Yes, Prince, I will immediately send out more people." Congyi responded.
Lin Ziyin was somewhat conflicted. If the coal was found, would it be a good thing? After all, coal is a non-renewable resource. If it was discovered, the history of coal usage would be advanced considerably. But then again, the pollution of air and other concerns riddled her mind.
However, without coal, they could only rely on manpower to cultivate the land, and they might not make much progress even with tremendous effort.
"Leave the matter of black powder to me, you just need to think about making a plan." Chu Suifeng said, noticing her conflicted expression.
