Chapter 302: A flash of inspiration

Jiang Li walked to a stone cave outside and changed his clothes. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 Info Dressed in a long skirt with wide sleeves and half wet black hair draped over his shoulders, he followed Xiao Yu to the outside of the stone cave.

Only then did she think of asking, "What about Xiaoxiang?" Don't tell me you didn't bring her, do you? ”

"Brought. Thinking that she was tired after three days of watch, I asked her to go outside to bask in the sun. Xiao Yu said lightly, leading her through the stone cave all the way.

Walking through the stone cave full of medicinal herbs, and then passing through several forked holes, Jiang Li sighed all the way to the magic of nature, and mentioned the brocade map: "You said that the brocade map is a treasure map, and you need to use these treasures to make armaments, but now that the brocade map is only half restored, why are you in a hurry?" ”

Xiao Yu replied lightly: "The value of half a tapestry map is immeasurable, enough to support our armaments, grain and grass expenditure for many years. ”

"What treasure is so valuable?" Jiang Li couldn't help but be curious.

Xiao Yu thought about it, but decided to explain this secret to her thoroughly: "Every mountain outlined with colored lines on that brocade map is a mine. Gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, saltpeter, coal, ・・・・・・"

Every mountain on the tapestry is a mine? Such a large landscape painting, in the middle of which is densely packed with mountains, Jiang Li was speechless.

Jiang Li muttered to himself: "When your fifty-five boxes of treasure fell into my hands, you also deceived me, saying that I had those treasures that were priceless and that I was already rich enough to rival the country." Now you take out a tapestry to show off, aren't my wealth a drop in the ocean! ”

"Be content, you." Xiao Yu scratched her small nose fiercely, her ink eyes flashed with wisdom, and she said lightly: "Looking at the world, the land is vast and rich, and no matter how many mineral deposits are shared by everyone in the world." The wealth you already have in your hands is not as rich as most people in the world? It's selfish for me to attribute the mineral deposits on the tapestry map to the Nanchen people, do you still have the idea of dividing them? ”

Thinking that she has this bit of 'rich and rival country' property in her hands has made her work hard and calculate, and she was chased from the capital to Jiangnan for the dozens of boxes of treasures.

At this time, she only sighed that these properties did not make her raise her eyebrows, but she had to keep a low profile everywhere, Rao was so frightened from time to time, how could she still have the joy of being rich and rivaling the country, but she felt that she had to be a man with her tail between her legs from time to time, and she was aggrieved.

It dawned on her that more money wasn't necessarily a good thing.

"I'm just talking casually, where else do I have to think about it." Jiang Li muttered. Honestly.

It is said that she has no time to mine a mine in the capital, and now that there is a war in the north, I am afraid that the mine will be mined in the long run.

It's quiet in the cave.

I only heard Xiao Yu's flat voice saying: "These are the mineral deposit maps collected by my emperor's grandfather for several generations, and my ancestors once had a testament, saying that these mineral deposits cannot be mined unless they have to be mined, and they must be left to future generations." ”

Jiang Li hooked his lips slightly. From her modern point of view, the ancestors of the Xiao family were more than far-sighted.

I only heard Xiao Yu say: "So in recent years, Nanchen has been focusing on the development of agricultural handicrafts and rarely mining deposits. The situation in Nanchen is the same as that of Qingfeng Village, and even some necessary ordnance and iron can only be bought from the surrounding powers. ”

Jiang Li sighed, "No wonder. "I remembered meeting Li Mu and Qiushuang in Xiushan to buy pig iron.

The two walked through the cave, and the rumbling sound of the water outside became clearer and clearer.

Xiao Yu's voice said: "But looking at it now, excessive mining is not good, but there are many drawbacks to being complacent like this." If the Nanchen people guard the mineral deposits but do not use them to protect the family and defend the country, if the Great Yan destroys the Nanchen capital, the treasures we leave to the descendants of the Nanchen will not also become the Great Yan people. ”

Jiang Li couldn't understand whether he was thinking like this, so he could only listen quietly.

"Yuntong has been convincing me like this all these years, so I also decided to restart these deposits. It doesn't matter if the brocade map is not fully completed, only half a sheet is enough for us Nanchen to support the war for a long time. Xiao Yu said slowly.

Jiang Li frowned, "So, then the remaining half of the brocade map is not in a hurry to restore it?" ”

"Not really." Xiao Yu's steps slowed down, and he walked side by side with her, and said indifferently: "To be honest, I'm also in a hurry. If you can restore it, you have a complete "Splendid Picture of Rivers and Mountains" in hand, after all, you will have more confidence before starting the war. ”

At the mention of going to war, Jiang Li showed hesitation on his face.

Xiao Yu looked at her look, sighed, and said indifferently: "No one wants the war to last, in my opinion, as long as you can defeat Dayan, it is enough to change to a short period of peace and prosperity." None of us can worry about the future. ”

Jiang Li sneered, "If you want to defeat Dayan, that should also be something that your brother of Emperor Nanchen should worry about." ”

Xiao Ting was stubborn and short-sighted. What happened in the Great Song Dynasty in those years made him always haunted the Song court and had great prejudices. At this time, Dayan attacked Da Song, and I think he probably didn't want to lend a hand. Xiao Yu said naturally.

"And he doesn't know what the brocade is in my hands, he has always been at ease with me, and he has been guarding me everywhere. For the time being, I don't want to tell him about the brocade map, but right now, taking advantage of my special status as an emperor merchant of Nan Chen, it just so happens that people are mining a lot to support this war. ”

She glanced at him, the expression on that warm face was calm, and she was confident, listening to his tone, she had clearly made up her mind, Jiang Li sneered, "A small Qingfeng Village, how many soldiers and horses can you have in your hands, how can you have such confidence." ”

Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, his ink eyes shining, "Listening to what you said, you obviously underestimated Qingfeng Village." The soldiers are not many but fine, Qingfeng Village is now strong and strong, 100,000 horses, although it is not a lot, but it is by no means inferior. ”

Xiao Yu smiled lightly and said very confidently: "You have to believe that our hard work over the years is by no means a showmanship." If you don't believe it, it will be impossible to fight against Great Yan alone, but now that Yan and Song are fighting in the north, it is not difficult for us to take a few cities from him in the south. You can walk around these days. ”

"Really?" Jiang Lixing's eyes lit up, as if he was very interested, "Then I really want to look around." ”

The two walked out of the cave while talking, and the light in front of them was bright, accompanied by the sound of rumbling water, and a curtain of waterfalls appeared in front of them at the entrance of the stone cave.

The cascading waterfall merges into a babbling stream in front of the cave. In front of the stream is a row of lush forests, dotted with flowers and plants, and not far away dozens of ancient pines with clumped branches and mischievous squirrels scurrying about the trees・・・・・・

The breeze is coming, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant. Smoke wafts from the quaint stone houses in the valley, and the whole valley is particularly peaceful and quiet. The autumn sunset shrouded the valley, and the sun was about to set, and the valley was like a layer of gold.

Such a beautiful scenery is like a fairy scene on earth. Stepping on the green grass, Jiang Li looked relaxed and happy.

Looking at it, Jiang Li suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, his eyes flowed, and he stood motionless under the pine tree with bated breath. "Caves, waterfalls, ancient pines, valleysβ€”"

Xiao Yu, who was walking in front, turned his head and looked at her deep eyes, "Who are you?" ”

Jiang Li shook his head slowly, put his finger to his lips, "Shhhh

Her voice gradually lowered, her eyes drifted, and she waved at him, "You let me be alone ・・・・・"
