Chang Qing shook his head, as if he wanted to expel this ridiculous idea from his mind, the Nangong family has been operating 'jade' for generations, and it makes sense to hide a 'jade' vein, the Ji family is operating 'medicine' materials, even if the 'jade' is mined, they want to solve the 'jade', ponder, and sell it...... Pile pile piece by piece, all of them are troublesome things-Uncle haha-

It's definitely not a 'jade' vein, but those mountains must have some fame, and what mines have been opened in ten **, I don't know if it's a gold mine or a silver mine? Copper mines are OK too! Anyway, it's all real money, and it's too common to kill people for this, isn't that the case in the southwest? The king of Wei helped the local big families cover up the fact that the ore veins were reciprocated, and the other party reciprocated the favor and took a part of the output of filial piety. If it is reported to the government, all these should be returned to the state, and they will not get a penny.

Chang Qing had been following Qin Wan for a long time, and the twists and turns here were clearer, he pondered for a while, and then made up his mind, ordering the people of the blood shadow not to move, and he took advantage of the night to go up the mountain to take a look.

Although the spies of the Blood Shadow often walked the mountain roads and ventured into the mountains and forests, no one spent several years in the mountains like Changqing. Besides, if it weren't for evergreen, all the people in the Blood Shadow would be unlucky. Those who did not obey his discipline and secretly approached the king of Wei, which one had a way to live? Therefore, in today's blood shadow, he actually said one thing and no one dared to disobey it.

Taking advantage of the night', Changqing's figure appeared at the foot of the barren mountain under the name of the Ji family.

At the foot of the mountain, there is a ruined temple, in which more than a dozen beggars gather around the fire to keep warm, and from time to time a beggar comes out to collect some firewood. Today, they seem to have stolen a 'chicken', and they are fragrant, and you are competing for each other.

Evergreen's eyes darkened, and he curled up like an agile cheetah to bypass the ruined temple, making sure that he wouldn't even cast his shadow on the leaky papier-mâché window for these people to see.

He is proficient in this, and naturally understands that many big things are bad for inconspicuous little people, if the Ji family wants to keep an eye on outsiders, it is definitely not enough to use their own family, it is too flamboyant and too risky, and buying lazy people, idle gangs and beggars is undoubtedly the best means. For example, this ruined temple happened to be built on the side of the only road up the mountain, and the beggars were fighting for food, and they were very happy, and at this time, even if there was some noise outside, they might not be able to find it. Even if someone comes out to collect firewood, it will only come out once after a long time, if you want to pinch the time, through the "flaw" of guò to go up the mountain, the result is self-evident.

It doesn't work to go the other way, it's too troublesome to climb, and the night time is too short. The only way to do it now...... Chang Qing glanced at the towering trees, his expression was slightly cold, his hands were slightly forced, and the person had already appeared on the tree, and he didn't make a sound.

People are humane, ghosts have ghost ways, and a guy like him who is not a human or a ghost naturally has a way that he can walk.

Chang Qing carefully walked along the branches, shuttling through the forest with the lightest and most steady steps, even if someone saw it, in the face of the dexterous figure that flashed by, he would only think that he saw the ape, and did not take it to heart.

I don't know how long later, he suddenly heard the voices of several people talking, and he couldn't help but stop and listen attentively.

"Iniquity, iniquity." A middle-aged man's voice came slowly, "Pull out three more today...... When will we be the first to do this job! ”

"You dare to say this, don't you die?" The other tried his best to lower his voice, but the night was too quiet, and his teeth chattered a little, "After you go back, please ask the Bodhisattva to make offerings, and say goodbye!" If you were known by the stewards, would you want to be like them? ”

The middle-aged man shuddered and shook his head again and again: "No, I don't want to." ”

"That's it, bury them quickly, let's save some trouble."

Another person said in a depressed tone: "If we do such a thing, will we be thundered by the sky?" ”

"It was not you who 'tempted' or 'tempted' them, nor did you take them captive, nor did you keep them. We, aren't we just dragging corpses, aren't we selling coolies! Although the second person was also trembling, he was better than his companions, "Quick, bury them, let's drink!" ”

When a few people were talking, Chang Qing had quietly approached, lurking in a tree not far away, looking at a few people. Seeing that they dug a few times in a clearing, they dragged the corpses on the side and buried them, and under the light of the torches, the three corpses were also 'exposed' not so much that they were not dressed at all, but that they were not dressed at all, and that they were all black and black, and they were all hunchbacked.

Chang Qing pondered for a while, it is normal for the heart to be hunchbacked, open a mine, bend over all day long, how can it not be hunchbacked? But what is this smeared thing? What kind of mine will be opened like this?

When he destroyed the Nangong family, he had a lot of 'door' ways about them, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that this matter was not normal, so he decided to follow these people secretly. When they returned, they lived in the hut of the mountain hunters, and when they opened the 'door', they went inside, but there was nothing else beside them, and Changqing couldn't help but be stunned.

What's the matter, these miners can't sleep underground? It's not impossible, in order to hide the secret, the Nangong family also did this, but it's not like this, there is not even a ventilated place!

That's right, Chang Qing turned around and found that the hut where the mine 'hole' was hidden was tightly closed, and there was no half ventilation next to it. As for whether there were roads elsewhere, he did not know.

He felt that this matter was strange, and he didn't dare to approach lightly, stared at it for a while, calculated that the time was about the same, wrote down this place, turned back along the way, and returned to Xin'an County, but he kept thinking about what kind of mine would make the miners look like this? There were no 'jade' mines he had ever seen, and as for the mines next to them, he had not seen them with his own eyes, so he really didn't dare to make a rash decision.

Chang Qing is not a thoughtful person, he always feels as if he has heard this scene somewhere, try to recall it, but he can't remember it.

People are easy to make mistakes when they are in a hurry, Chang Qing is anxious but he doesn't lose his calm, it's just 'quite' depressed, the county lord of the heart let Chen Miao, oh no, Chen Xuan's kid has taught me to read and write for so long, Lao Tzu still has a black eye, at most he knows a few words, not to mention the county lord, Mr. Pei and Mr. 'Yu', even Chen Xuan, the bull's nose taught by the bull's nose, is not comparable......

Wait, Chen Xuan?

Sun Lao Dao?

Evergreen's eyes lit up, and he finally remembered when he had heard of something like this, and it was a mineral, wasn't that charcoal?

That's right, are the county lord and Mr. Pei shouting this, and Sun Laodao is calling this thing Wujin Stone or Jiaoshi?

Thinking of this, Rao is evergreen has experienced many big scenes, and he also feels uneasy.

After trying to understand what the mine opened by the Ji family's 'privately', he was not only not relieved, but tightened his 'spirit' He heard Qin Wan and Pei Xi say that charcoal is better than charcoal, it burns for a long time, it is warmer, and there is a lot less smoke. Not only that, but charcoal is also better than charcoal and requires less to make iron and even steel.

Both the previous and current dynasties attached great importance to the charcoal, and once the charcoal was found, the local government would circle it and be mined by the imperial court. A fist-sized piece of coal, though not as expensive as gold or silver, is not far behind.

If it's just greedy for profit, it's still a trivial matter, but the coal ...... It can be used to make iron and steel, and to make weapons!

Chang Qing knew that this matter was no longer up to him, so he immediately wrote an urgent letter and ordered his subordinates to send it out, even if he died, the letter would be delivered. As for him, he will first escort his subordinates for a while, and then come back to watch for a while to see which family the Ji family has closer contacts with.

The Blood Shadow Starry Night was both on the way, and this urgent letter was delivered to Qin Wan as quickly as possible.

Qin Wan is discussing agricultural affairs with the prime ministers, Guanzhong is also fertile soil, but the grain output has become lower and lower in recent years, and everyone has a headache for this matter. Jiang Bai built yì, took some crops from Hudi, and tried to plant them. Although the Hu people are barbarians, they can survive in such a difficult environment, and the crops must have merit.

It is said that Huainan is orange, Huaibei is orange, even if the crops of the Hu people have changed in the Central Plains, it is better than the wind and rain, but the harvest of grain is not as good as a year!

Even if Great Xia did not suppress merchants very much, agriculture was the foundation of the country, and this article would not change. Who is the prime minister who doesn't have the idea of going down in history by name? The land, taxation and other reforms are too much to do, and if they are not careful, they will be infamous for a thousand years, and those who cherish the feathers may not dare to move, but if they find good crops, or if there is any improvement in agricultural affairs, it will benefit the country and the people, and be revered by the people, which will naturally be a good thing.

"The barley of the Tibetan people seems to be good." Jiang Baijian said, "The imperial court can find a good opportunity to take advantage of Princess Xingping's harmony and friendship between the two countries to 'get' more barley seeds back." ”

Seeds have always been a very precious resource, and even for big businessmen, it is very difficult to buy seeds, especially between countries. What's more, instead of buying seeds from Tibet every year, Daxia bought a large number of seeds and planted and promoted them himself. If it weren't for the fact that Tubo saw the fate of the Western Turks, he was quite frightened, and there was something wrong with Tubo, so he needed to free up his hands and suppress the internal 'chaos' first, otherwise Tubo's Zampu would not have asked Daxia to marry a princess.

What kind of place is Tibet, everyone also knows that if barley can thrive there, it may not be able to take root in the Central Plains. Rao is an old man like Xu Mi, and he is a little unaccustomed to Jiang Bai's strategy through the Western Regions, and he likes the business of doing things a little bit, and he also nods frequently.

This matter is so decided, of course, the detailed steps, and a charter must be come up.

Just then, the secret letter of the Blood Shadow arrived.

Qin Wan knew that Changqing was a clear priority, and this secret letter was sent to the East Palace by the people outside, which was obviously extraordinary, so he confessed to several prime ministers and left the political hall.

Due to the saint's illness, Qin Wan wanted to run back and forth between the political hall and the Zichen Palace, and everyone didn't think it was strange, but they still hung their hearts, lest there was anything wrong with the saint. Hearing that Qin Wan hurriedly went to the Zichen Palace, everyone's mood became heavier and heavier, the atmosphere in the political hall was very stagnant, and the faces of several prime ministers were not very good, but Pei Xi was thoughtful
