At this time, Wang Guanglin's wife, Gu Panpan, said sincerely: "Yuanhang, we are all looking forward to your coming, knowing that you have a crowned mountain eagle war beast." In the future, when transporting raw ore, you can quickly transport the Yuanjing to the Black Iron City through Guanshan Eagle, which is convenient and time-saving, and the most important thing is safety, do you say this is the truth? ”

When Rong Yuanhang heard this, he suddenly realized, it turned out that everyone was beating me the idea of crowned mountain eagles! No wonder I am a fugitive from the Tianshou Kingdom, and the patriarch also gave me the position of a Dharma Protector Elder.

The core structure of the Wang family is the Council of Elders, and Rong Yuanhang does not know how many elders there are. However, I heard Wang Ruonan mention that there are currently as many as seven elders in the family, and all the elders must be cultivated above the martial saint as a prerequisite.

Above the Council of Elders, there is Elder Taishang, this Elder Taishang, there is only one person left now,—— that is Ancestral Aunt Wang Meng! Wang Meng has a supreme position, and the whole family is like a machine, running around the axis of his grandmother Wang Meng and patriarch Wang Guangen.

Under the Council of Elders, there are shopkeepers and managers, such as Wang Guanglin, the third brother of Wang Guangen, who is the head of the mine, and Wang Guangen's son Wang Dujie is the general leader of Dongtaizhou's affairs, and his position is higher than that of his third uncle Wang Guanglin.

Under the general management, there are Dharma Protector Elders, but at present, there are only five Dharma Protector Elders in Dongtaizhou, and in addition to Rong Yuanhang, Long Yurou, and Wang Guangming on the side of Yuanjing Mine, there are two other people in Black Iron City. Under the Dharma Protector Elder, followed by the Dharma Protector, although there is a difference between the Dharma Protector and the Dharma Protector Elder, there is a level difference. For example, Wang Ruonan, whose current position is to protect the Dharma, is inferior to Rong Yuanhang in terms of status and treatment.

The Protector is in charge of the guards on the mine, including all captains of the guards. In addition, Wang Guanglin's wife, Gu Panpan, is in charge of logistics affairs, and her status is special, so she is not counted in this hierarchy.

Therefore, Rong Yuanhang's only boss in this Yuanjing mine is Wang Guanglin, and Long Yurou and Wang Guangming are equal to him. Of course, because there are only a few of them in the mine now. Actually, there isn't much difference.

……

In the evening, Wang Guanglin, Gu Panpan, Wang Guangming, Long Yurou, Rong Yuanhang, Xiao Xue, Wang Ruonan, Wang Shousong, Liu Yongyuan, Cai Meng, as well as two or three technicians, engineers and prospectors on the mine, and so on, had a rather sumptuous dust washing banquet, and then went to their own affairs.

After dinner. Rong Yuanhang went back to the bedroom assigned to him in the east wing and looked at it: in the northeast corner of the room, a corner room-like step bed was laid out, and a new seat and quilt were laid inside. On the left side of the bed there are chairs and several cases, and on the opposite side is a dresser, on which a mirror copper is also placed. There is a small alleyway between the bed and the wall, where a brand new toilet is placed......

Rong Yuanhang looked at the bedroom in front of him. Shaking his head with a wry smile, the wall at the back of this bedroom is not windowed, and the only ventilation is on the tile surface, because this house has a heavy eaves roof, and there is a layer of tile roof on the tile, and there are long male windows around it.

Picking up the air from above is not enough to cool the house. It's a hot day. However, the living conditions are the same, and he has nothing to complain about.

Suddenly, the room was dark, but it was Xiao Xue standing at the door.

"Mother-in-law?" As soon as Rong Yuanhang saw the beautiful and heart-warming woman in front of him, he felt a pleasing feeling in his heart.

"I'll come and take a look. By the way, you can help clean up the room. Xiao Xue said with a smile, she pinched her hands together, and her expression looked slightly unnatural.

"Oh, these things can be done by subordinates, how can I bother you?"

Xiao Xue said: "Anyway, I have nothing to do here, so I'll come over and help you tidy up and clean up, by the way, do you have any clothes to wash and change?" Take it out and I'll wash it for you. ”

"This ......" Rong Yuanhang hesitated for a moment and agreed: "Okay, there really is." ”

Along the way, wading through mountains and rivers. came over in the dust, and really accumulated less clothes to be washed and changed.

When Rong Yuanhang took out all the dirty clothes that had been changed out of Li Xing's bag, Xiao Xue couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "So many? ”

Ten sets of clothes were changed. I can't put it on the table. Because of Wang Guangming and others by his side, it was not convenient for him to cross back to the main plane villa, so every time he changed the dirty clothes, he only stuffed them into the package, thinking that he would put them back on the ground and hand them over to Li Chunchun to wash.

"Uh......, I came all the way and didn't have time to wash. That's why it's so much. Rong Yuanhang said embarrassedly.

Xiao Xue smiled, glanced at him and said with a smile: "You men, it's really." He didn't say much, leaned over and walked out with this large pile of dirty clothes.

At night, when Rong Yuanhang took a bath in the bathhouse, he used a large clay jar of clean water. Early the next morning, I used two large basins of water to wash my face and brush my teeth. As a result, a tall woman came to the door.

At this time, Rong Yuanhang was in the room, changing into a set of protective elder uniforms that showed his identity on the mine, and planned to go to the mining area after breakfast, but there was nothing to do here anyway.

"Elder Long, hello, what's the matter?" Rong Yuanhang looked at the tall and plump woman and asked with some surprise.

Long Yurou bowed to him slightly and said, "Elder Rong, it is very difficult to get water here, please save some time." ”

Rong Yuanhang was stunned for a moment, "Oh, I know, I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”

Long Yurou nodded, and then said: "Let's go, I'll take you to the mining area to have a look and learn about the security situation here." ”

"It just so happens that I want to go out and have a look, too."

……

The sun outside was very poisonous, Rong Yuanhang followed Long Yurou in the direction of the mining area for a while, and felt as if his whole body was being roasted by fire, but fortunately, this bit of heat was nothing for his current realm. But it is estimated that the miners in the mine must have a hard time working in this kind of weather.

The mining farm is separated from the living quarters by tall wooden fences to form a separate working space. At the entrance, there is a watchtower on each side of the door, and there are guards on the tower. With such a high watchtower, the surrounding environment can be seen at a glance.

However, the whole wilderness plain, except for this mining area, there is not a single ghost in the hundred meters of the wooden fence, and the surrounding area is empty and lonely: it is all coarse sand, gravel, and occasionally sparse pulpy and fleshy desert plants.

There are guards on the watchtower, and there are also guards on the two gates who stand upright like javelins, these people are all soldiers transferred from the Guanghan Governor's Office, so they have a very military temperament.

"Elder!" As soon as they saw Long Yurou and Rong Yuanhang coming. It's a subordinate salute.

"Hmm." Long Yurou seemed to be accustomed to the style of the soldiers, she nodded indifferently, and took Rong Yuanhang into the mining area.

In front of me was a scene of great heat: more than 1,000 people were busy like ants in this small mining area, with the sound of people and the roar of horse-drawn carriages. From time to time, loud shouts can be heard. Some dig sand and masonry, and some carry and lift. Especially for those who were moving earth, a two-wheeled cart was piled high with mud, but it was pushed fast by the workers.

Rong Yuanhang estimates that these men all have some kung fu. The huge wooden stake could be carried by one person and placed a hundred meters away.

"There are 24 mines in total, and a lot of people are working in underground shafts." Long Yurou accompanied Rong Yuanhang to approach a mine and said.

The ground around the mine was dirty, wet and muddy, and littered with iron catalpa, bamboo baskets, ropes, barrels, copper axes, copper adzes, two-wheeled carts, and so on. A huge wooden winch was erected above the well, and two tall, bare-shouldered and shirtless men stood opposite each other, carrying buckets of water seeping out of the ground.

Rong Yuanhang was closer, and he could smell the heavy smell of sweat emitted by the two big men, but he didn't care, but turned his head and asked Long Yurou: "Elder Long." How deep is this well? ”

The mouth of the mine is about 1.5 meters long and wide, and is supported by wooden strips. Rong Yuanhang felt that this was very dangerous, and if it caused a landslide, then the people working below would be buried alive.

Long Yurou replied: "It's twenty zhang deep......

"Elder Rong, Elder Long......" Suddenly, a man in a short costume walked over with a smile. But it is Cai Meng, the deacon of the district mine, and he is responsible for the management of the workers in the entire mining area.

When Rong Yuanhang saw him, he immediately said, "Deacon Cai, you came just in time. If these mines are dug like this, will there be deaths? Too dangerous, right? Why not just empty the dirt? ”

"This ......" Cai Meng was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment and asked, "What does Elder Rong mean by open-pit mining?" ”

"Hmm. I think it's safer that way. Rong Yuanhang continued: "Of course, I don't mean anything else, just for the sake of the safety of the workers, are there any other safety measures to ensure the smooth operation of the underground workers?" ”

Cai Meng shook his head with a wry smile. Said: "Underground pit mining will indeed be very dangerous, once the underground roadway and inclined shaft are found to be leaking, they will collapse at any time, and hundreds of miners have died in our mine because of this situation." However, mining is like that, and what is not risky? ”

"Since it's dangerous. Wouldn't it be better to mine in the open air? Rong Yuanhang asked.

"Elder Rong, the cost of open-pit mining is too high and impractical. Cleaning up the mud alone is a huge undertaking. Cai Meng said helplessly.

"Cleaning up the mud?" Rong Yuanhang suddenly thought of the Titan Giant Ape, if there were a few such big guys, then the output of the entire mine would increase exponentially!

"Can you use the Titan Ape?" Rong Yuanhang asked.

Cai Meng and Long Yurou glanced at each other, and then Long Yurou said: "We don't have that kind of war beast, an eighth-level Titan Giant Ape is sometimes more expensive than a tenth-level or even eleven-level spirit beast, the cost is too high, our family can't afford it." ”

"How much does a Titan ape cost? Could it be that this Dongtaizhou has to be sold? Rong Yuanhang's heart moved.

Long Yurou smiled helplessly and said: "Black Iron City has auctioned a lot of Titan Giant Apes, but every one of them has been bought by major families with a lot of money, how can we have our share?" ”

"Oh? Is it really for sale? Generally, this auction ......" Rong Yuanhang asked in a pause, "How much does a Titan giant ape usually cost to be auctioned off?" ”

Long Yurou and Cai Meng glanced at each other and replied, "I don't know this very well, but I heard that there are 10 million to 15 million blue crystal coins. ”

"Damn!" Rong Yuanhang scolded secretly, this is all astronomical, more than 10 billion taels of gold will take you to move it with your bare hands for a month. But he thought of finding an opportunity to go to the territory of the Extreme Imperial Sect to get one or two back.

"Lord Deacon!" Suddenly, a miner leader approached from afar.

"What's the matter?" Cai Meng frowned and asked.

The leader of the miners first bowed to Rong Yuanhang and Long Yurou before replying, "Lord Deacon, there is no lighting available under the mine. ”

Cai Mengdao: "If you don't have it, you will go to the warehouse to pick it up, why are you here to ask me?" ”

"Uh...... However, there is no stock? ”

"What?" Cai Meng suddenly glared and said, "Didn't you just enter five thousand catties of candle sesame oil in the last two months?" Running out so quickly? ”

"Eh, this ......," said the miner leader Dark Khan, "Didn't that batch of oil accidentally overturn a car for the little guy?" For the rest, you have to work overtime to mine day and night, and now you don't need it at all. ”

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Cai Meng was furious and shouted, "Who is in charge of the treasury?" Damn, Lao Tzu cut him! ”

The leader of the miners lowered his head as if he was being trained, but he muttered in his heart: Isn't it your delicate concubine who is in charge of the warehouse? I'm afraid I said this now because I was afraid of taking responsibility, so I deliberately said it to Elder Long and the new elder, right?

"Get out!" Cai Meng waved his hand.

"Yes." As if pardoned, the leader of the miners turned and walked away.

Cai Meng changed his face, smiled bitterly at Rong and Long, and said, "Look, the candle oil is gone, I'm afraid this mining will have to stop for a while and wait for supplies to come over." ”

Long Yurou frowned her sword eyebrows and said, "Can't stop, Yuanjing Mine must be mined more quickly!" ”

"But the slave miners in the underground mine don't have the light, they can't see it at all? How do you dig this? ”

Long Yurou thought for a while and said, "In this way, you send some people to the distant mountain to find some pines, pine branches, and bamboo chips to replace the lighting and use them first." Well...... It is estimated that the next supply will take 30 days at the earliest, and try to find a way not to stop mining during these 30 days. ”

"Well, that's all there is to it." Cai Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

Rong Yuanhang didn't say anything, he saw all this in his eyes. In fact, the solution to lighting is very simple - it is necessary to build a solar power system. But will such a thing ahead of its time be set up here, will it cause unnecessary trouble? What's more, this involves the secret of his own gate of time and space, and the question is whether anyone in the Wang family can trust it?

At this time, he was a little distressed, if he wanted to achieve something great, many of them had to be done by using the door to the plane, but if he was afraid that others would know and couldn't let go of his hands and feet, then he couldn't do anything! What to do? (To be continued.) )
