Because of the long boat ride, everyone was really tired when they arrived on land, so they decided to stop in Jiangzhou to rest for two days.

Since she was going back to Beijing, Di Lian was not afraid that Emperor An would get the news, so the group did not hide their identities and blatantly checked into the inn under the Yun family.

After a day's rest, Song Jue found Di Lian, "Now that we are in Jiangzhou, Miss Di Lian should go to Hump Cliff to see the gold mine there." ”

Tillian had never actually been to the mine since she nominally co-owned the gold mine with Yun Shili, and she really wanted to see what the 'Golden Cave' that supported half of Xialan's treasury looked like.

Because Luo Jia was still recuperating, Di Lian took the volunteer Changye all the way, Song Jue disagreed with this, but because of Di Lian's decision, he didn't say much.

Outside the city of Jiangzhou, there are tea estates from the flat land to the hills, among which the tea estates in Washington are the most, so the mountain road is very smooth, and the carriage drives all the way up the mountain without feeling bumpy.

Although no one knew it, but it was still necessary to avoid showing her face, Tilian forced Changye to ride with her, the general who grew up on horseback felt uncomfortable all the way in the carriage, moving around like a pins and needles, lifting the curtain from time to time to look.

When he reached the halfway up the hill, he suddenly picked up the curtain of the car, pointed to the tea plantation outside that was continuously trimmed and could not be seen, and turned back to Di Lian and said, "You said that these tea fields are from Washington?" ”

Di Lian smiled lightly, holding the small hand stove of the mud gold hairpin in her arms, looking through the window, it is winter now, the climate of Xia Lan towards the south is warmer than the north, although the tea garden is not lush, but it is not covered by winter snow, it can clearly be seen that the gray and blue dragons are circling the mountains, and there are many figures who are busy with something.

"The specialty of southern Hunan is tea, the soil of Jiangzhou is the most fertile, and Washington, as the local dragon here, of course wants to gather tea gardens here."

Hearing this, Changye smacked, looked at it for a long time, and asked suspiciously, "It's November now, why are there still so many people in the tea garden?" ”

This fourth brother is always interested in all the things around him that he doesn't understand, and Tilian Wen explained with a light smile.

"After the arrival of winter, after a year of picking tea trees need to recuperate, this season the root system is the most active to absorb nutrients, the owner of the tea garden will assign tea pickers according to the age of the tea tree to carry out different processes of deep ploughing, and fertilize to provide sufficient nutrients, so as to promote the recovery of the tree, cultivate the strength of the tree, the next year will pick the spring tea will taste high-quality."

Her words were gentle and gentle, and Changye didn't seem to understand it, and then lowered the curtain and looked at Di Lian with an interesting face, "My sister is far away in the capital, and she is so familiar with these trivial matters?" ”

Di Lian smiled, "Since I am in charge of the Yun family's business, I always have to understand what these businesses are, even if I don't inquire about everything, I still need to understand something, otherwise wouldn't the people below be some bastards and deceive me?" ”

Hearing this, Changye nodded with a smile in his eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "The Yun family's business is all over the world, and it can be seen that my sister is also very knowledgeable. ”

Tillian smiled lightly and didn't speak again.

The tea plantation is on the hillside, but the gold mining point is still in the deep stream behind the mountain, and the carriage goes forward, and the sound of pu water is faintly heard, which makes people smell the refreshing and comfortable on the cool and quiet mountain road.

After another half an hour, the carriage finally stopped, and without waiting for Song Jue to invite, Changye lifted the curtain and poked his head out to take a look, and then neatly rolled out of the carriage.

Tillian followed and walked out, took his arm and got out of the carriage, and when she looked around, she saw that they were under a smooth mountain wall, and on the left was a steep cliff and deep valley, and she couldn't see the bottom at a glance, and twenty meters in front of her left you could see the entrance of the mine, and there were people in cyan uniforms walking and watching, and many miners came in and out of the cave.

Song Jue had already greeted him at this time, and while guiding Di Lian, he gestured to introduce them, and more than a dozen warriors from the Yun family came to escort them in the encirclement.

The arrival of the group attracted the attention of everyone at the entrance of the mine, and a sturdy middle-aged man in a black robe trotted up to meet him, only to see him as tall as an iron tower, with a beard and tiger eyes on his face, looking at Di Lian and Changye, while bowing his hands and fists, his voice was like a thick and rough bell.

"Miss Tilian."

Tillian smiled lightly, her eyes swept over his face, and landed on the neatly arranged bamboo baskets under the mountain wall behind him, the bamboo baskets were covered with black curtains, and there were more than a dozen Tsing Yi guards guarding them, among which there was a basket that had just been moved before it could be covered, and the black and yellow things in the basket were slightly dazzling in such a cold and sunless day.

Song Jue smiled and introduced the big man in front of Di Lian, "This is Shan Kui, the chief manager of the Jiangzhou mining area." After that, he took two steps forward and slapped Shan Kui's broad shoulder, and said with a smile, "We went to Dejiangzhou yesterday, and Miss Tilian came to check on the gold mining. ”

Shan Kui grinned toothily and narrowed his tiger eyes slightly, sideways to lead the way for Di Lian, while looking at Chang Ye who automatically and spontaneously followed, he said in a deep voice, "These are the harvests this morning, Miss Di Lian, please take a look." ”

In front of the bamboo basket, which was not covered by the curtain, Shan Kui bent down and picked up a piece of ore with a large golden substance and handed it to Tilian.

Song Jue stretched out his hand to take it, took the gold mine with one hand and knocked it with the other, and said to Di Lian in a low light, "Very few pure gold and stone are mined, these gold mines are mixed with other ores, and there will be special escorts to the secret land of the mining area later, and the gold and stone will be cut out of it." With a slight force, he broke off the golden corner and handed it to Tilian.

Handing the hand stove in her arms to Changye beside her, Di Lian stretched out her plain hand to take it, the tentacles were cold and hard, and the moon eyes lowered and carefully looked at the dazzling luster in her hand.

Ji Changye held the small hand stove of the mud gold hairpin flower and tilted his head to look at the black and gold ore in Di Lian's hand, and muttered, "This is the gold mine?" It looks like a stone. ”

Tillian smiled, rubbed the ore lightly with her index finger, and said with a clear smile, "Pure gold still needs to be smelted by someone who knows how to forge before it can be melted into gold, and it can also be called gold and stone now." Handing the plum-sized gold stone in her hand to Changye, Tilian looked at the basket of gold mines, "Although they are still stones now, when they are smelted, this basket will have a hundred gold." ”

Changye, who was originally playing with the gold stone in his hand, glared at him when he heard this, and said with a slight surprise, "This basket can forge a hundred taels of gold?!" ”

Turning his nose up at his fuss, Song Jue gave him a blank look, and motioned to the Tsing Yi guards beside him to cover the basket of gold mines.

Shan Kuihu glanced at Changye suspiciously, and then led the way to the mine for Di Lian, everyone stopped a few meters outside the mine entrance, looking at the workers who were moving ore in and out, Shan Kui glanced sideways at Di Lian beside her, she was wearing a blue satin skirt and a snow-colored fox fur, slender and thin like a jade man, and felt that it was better not to go in.

So he said, "It's dark and filthy inside, Miss Tillian still doesn't want to go in." ”

Song Jue thought deeply when he heard this, looked at Di Lian and said, "Let's take a walk here." ”

In fact, Tilian's understanding of the gold mine was only limited to what she knew in the book in her previous life, and she came here today just to have an attitude, not to understand the gold mine cave, so she also responded to Shan Kui and Song Jue's words, and walked around outside the cave entrance, listening to Shan Kui explain the number of workers in the mine one by one, the daily mining and harvest, and so on.

It wasn't until after noon that Song Jue reminded him that he was going down the mountain, and Di Lianfang took everyone to say goodbye to Shan Kui and return the same way.

The way down the mountain was slightly faster than the one up the mountain, and Changye still rode with Tilian.

He leaned against the wall of the car with an unfinished look, and still held the gold stone in his hand to look left and right, and sighed for a while, "This is not only a daily gold fight, it is simply a daily gold fight, no wonder the Yun family has been rich for decades, it is simply an inexhaustible amount of money, even if it is a little bit of money, it is a lot of money." ”

Tillian took a cup of tea and took a sip lightly, and said with a smile, "There is no inexhaustible thing, and this gold mine will always be exhausted one day." Speaking of which, is it true that Starfall doesn't have such a mine, and it is worth being so strange to you. ”

Xiao Changye shook his head with a pout, "Xia Lan's land is mostly mountains, rivers and hills, and my Starfall is more fertile land and water towns, and the only two mines are under the personal jurisdiction of the emperors of the past dynasties, and no one is allowed to snoop on them." Most of the merchants are in the business of embroidering brocades. ”

Tillian bowed her head slightly, although Xia Lan has such a rich golden cave, but the soil here is not suitable for planting mulberry and raising silkworms, and there is a lot of difference between the weaving silk and the starfall, and the starfall dynasty happens to take advantage of this, and the various gorgeous brocades that flow from the starfall every year are a lot of money, perhaps this is the reason why the two countries can coexist, and the reason why the two countries want to annex each other.

"Sister." , Changye suddenly spoke, with a bright smile on his heroic face, "After entering Beijing, you can introduce this Yunhou for my good life." ”

Di Lian was stunned when she heard this, then she couldn't cry or laugh, shook her head and said, "Don't fight this idea, the gold mine is the foundation of the Yun family, and when Emperor An ascended the throne, he failed to take back the jurisdiction of the Yun family. ”

Changye smiled and said slyly, "I don't mention the gold mine, just see if I can cooperate with him in some other business, there are not a few shops in the Yun family in Starfall, you should let me make some money to marry my daughter-in-law." ”

Di Lian was speechless, in fact, although many shops of the Yun family in Starfall have changed to other banners, but it is inevitable that things will be reversed, and there are still some businesses that still hang the original Yun family flag, this Changye is really open-minded, and actually wants to rely on her relationship to take advantage of the Yun family.

"I will arrange for you to live in Yunhou Mansion at that time, whether Shili will give you this advantage depends on your ability." , Tillian waved her hand perfunctorily.

At that time, I still need to tell Yun Shili a few words, don't let this goose plucker take advantage of her in vain just by looking at her face. (To be continued.) )
