Chapter Seventy-Three: The Well-Informed Helian Yanran (II)
Bai Sheng stood up from his chair in surprise, he guessed that Helian Yanran must be the most capable of the three, but he didn't expect that he could have such ability?
What does this mean, almost equal to no loss! It is not an exaggeration to say that the weapons and armor produced from such pure iron and the unique forging technology can affect the outcome of the war.
The thoughts in Bai Sheng's mind became more and more unbearable, he rubbed his hands a little excitedly, and approached Helian Yanran: "In your opinion, how much has they mined this hematite?"
Helian Yanran recalled what she had seen cursoly in the morning, and immediately made a judgment: "It should be less than one percent." The mine was mined in a hurry, and judging from the construction of the mine, the people who handled it at first used limonite mining methods, and later replaced it with someone who knew a little about hematite.
It's just that there are some problems with the methods and tools of mining, so that the efficiency of mining is not high. If you explore it for a while, it should improve slightly. It's a pity that there was a sudden flood in Wanhuai Mansion, and they were afraid that the matter would be exposed, so they began to busy finishing up the landfill and covering up the traces before they had time to mine much. ”
"So, the amount of ochre that can be mined and refined is still very considerable?" Bai Sheng's eyes lit up instantly.
"That's true. Helian Yanran said, "There are a few good mining and smelting craftsmen in the long house, as well as craftsmen who are skilled in forging, if Your Highness can use them, I will order someone to send them, or they will arrive in three or five days." ”
"Yan Ran knows what I want to do?" Bai Sheng smiled like a little fox.
"The law of Dayue is strict, and all iron ore is owned by the imperial court, and no one is allowed to mine it privately or conceal it without reporting. His Royal Highness has no rebellious thoughts, so naturally he will not keep it privately.
Although the county magistrate of Zexian County confessed that the Ten Princes ordered people to mine and conceal it without reporting, once the matter reached the front of the emperor, the officials involved, whether it was the number of people or official positions, could not be clarified in a day or two. And there are too many variables in between, so this move is not countable.
It is better to think that it was accidentally discovered during the disaster relief inspection, and to report to the imperial court by offering flowers to the Buddha, so that it must be a proper and great achievement. Helian Yanran said what Bai Sheng was thinking.
"Those who know me, Yanran also. Bai Sheng shook her hand with a smile, "Yanran, you are really my lucky star." Such a good thing can even fall on my head now. ”
"It is His Royal Highness who is deeply blessed, and the courtiers dare not take credit. Helian Yanran cleared. She is not afraid of any tedious and hard things, but Bai Sheng's closeness and overtures make her resist from the heart.
"Why don't you dare? Ever since I met you, all the good things I've encountered. From this point of view, Yanran is really a prosperous man. After Bai Sheng finished speaking, he winked at her quickly, overjoyed.
Helian Yanran just didn't see it, and didn't want to talk to him about it. The better Bai Sheng was in a mood, the more he was messing around, very childish.
It's also nice to be able to look like a child from time to time when you grow up.
Helian Yanran was killed when he was very young, and after being rescued by Ah Injury, he lived in seclusion with him in Nanshan for several years. Before she grew up enough to go out with him, the only things that accompanied her the most every day were the small animals on the mountain, and the spirit tiger that guarded the mountain gate and guarded the barrier, and people her age had hardly seen it.
She had never been carried away by that monstrous hatred, and it was not easy to fall into the devil's way, where could she hope to have the happiness of an ordinary child?
Looking at Bai Sheng's smug appearance, Helian Yanran thought to herself, let him go. It had been too long for her to experience joy and joy.
No matter how much gold and silver the Helian clan earned, no matter how rare the treasures were, and no matter how high the prestige and praise they were, she only felt a little comfort. Just like in the face of great hardships and difficulties, she will only deal with them calmly and calmly.
Her heart has long become a pool of stagnant water, and without her injury, there is no longer even a trace of fluctuation and undulation.
She stubbornly guarded the Helian family, and insisted on the love with Ah Hurt that was far more bitter than sweet and refused to let go. She couldn't and didn't dare to put it, she really had nothing but that.
Just a few words can make Bai Sheng smile as if he has gained a great benefit. This kind of happiness, Helian Yanran probably can't experience it in his life, and he doesn't envy it. It's just that she doesn't think there's anything wrong with that.
Bai Sheng, who was happy with himself, felt that Helian Yan suddenly fell into an inexplicable faint sad mood, and the kindness and calmness that seemed to flash in his eyes when he looked at him again were gone, leaving only the same calm and indifference.
After she gave him the okay card before, when the two were close, Bai Sheng could feel some of her emotions. But as time passed, perhaps Helian Yanran became more calm and peaceful, or perhaps the connection between the two of them had weakened until it was severed, and he had never felt her emotions since he had recovered his body.
But right now, Bai Sheng didn't have time to dwell on these. Although Helian Yanran helped people come up with ideas, he also had to have a careful plan. He had to think carefully about when and how this hematite should be presented to his father.
Bai Sheng thought a lot, knowing that he only fell asleep in the middle of the night, but he got up very early the next day, in good spirits, and his eyes were shining.
After the stormy breakfast, he couldn't wait to pull Helian Yanran to discuss mysteriously in the study for a long time, and ordered Zhou Lang to stay at the door, and no one was allowed to disturb him.
Wu Zhiqing and Mu Xun went to the county office one after another, but no one could enter the door.
As a result, there was an unprecedented scene in front of the Yamen of Zexian County that was still talked about by people decades later. The people who were fortunate enough to see it with their own eyes will always remember it vividly in their lifetimes: the majestic and majestic Qincha honor guard was neatly parked at the gate of the county government, and behind them were lined up with officials of all sizes who accompanied them in Beijing.
This was followed by trucks loaded with disaster relief money, food, medicinal herbs, etc., and they were discharged for several streets.
A team of guards stood up straight, meticulously guarding the relief workers and supplies in front.
The weather was very hot, the sun was blazing, and people were standing outside doing nothing, and after a while, they were already sweating profusely. Everyone just waited like this, but without the slightest impatience, even if they were dazzled with sweat, they just wiped their faces with their sleeves without changing their faces, and then continued to use themselves as stones and statues.
It is rare for the people to see the liveliness of this kind of battle, and they are all waiting with them under the scorching sun, and they can't bear to leave.
Finally, when Yin of Wanhuai Mansion, who had arrived in a hurry with Xin'er, was soaked with sweat and soaked his official uniform, and the third person among the disaster relief officials was carried to the shade to fan the wind because he fell into a coma during the summer vacation, a man and a woman came out from the county government surrounded by everyone like stars and moons.
The man's appearance is astonishing, the woman's bearing is not like the mortal world, and the two stand together, which is an indescribable match.
When the disaster relief team saw the two of them, they bowed down one after another, and shouted in their mouths: "Meet His Royal Highness the Twelfth Qincha, and meet the deputy Qincha Wenxi County Lord." The neat and loud voice resounded through half of the county, and it also shocked everyone present.
