Chapter 58 Conditions
When the sunlight spread on the mine again, Xie Wenchang and the others walked out of the mine with red eyes.
"How?" Xie Cunli asked anxiously.
"Still won't work." Xie Wenchang said.
Xie Wenxiu hurried from the bottom of the mountain.
"Second brother, I saw that the two families of King Zhou have gone to see the prefect." He said.
The two Zhou families are also the cinnabar family in Qianzhou, the two Zhou families want to take the metabolizer family as the head of Bashu, and the Xie family also wants to get the territory of the two of them, the struggle has been entangled for a hundred years, the high and low have their own ups and downs, but in the end, the Xie family has always had the upper hand, but in recent years, the Zhou Wang family has even produced several bright placer mines, and the Xie family's business has been robbed a lot, which is the most hated thing by the Xie family now.
Originally, now that the phoenix bloodstone was able to immediately crush the limelight of the Zhou and Wang families, I didn't expect the prefect to see these two rivals.
"What do they want to do?" Xie Cunli shouted.
Xie Wenxing walked up from behind, a little tired.
"The two kings of Zhou said to the prefect that they could provide the most experienced miners to help dig up the phoenix bloodstone." He said.
The scene suddenly exploded.
"How dare they say it! What does this have to do with them! ”
"This is our Xie family's business, and they dare to come to get a piece of the pie!"
"Don't think about it!"
Xie Wenxing listened to the chaotic shouts, and his expression was heavy.
"What if you can't dig it up in that month?" He said, "This phoenix bloodstone belongs to our Xie family, but now it can be said that it belongs to the emperor's majesty, what if the emperor's majesty orders someone else to dig it?" ”
Under the whole world, it is not the king's land, if the emperor really wants to give an order, then will they dare to disobey the Xie family?
Now their family does not have Da Wuqing, and they are no longer the king of the land of Bashu.
There was silence.
"Keep digging and try again." Xie Cunli said, "I don't believe it, this phoenix blood stone is obviously the blessing of our Xie family, and it can still be robbed!" ”
How can you try it, the people present looked at each other.
"Let's go and discuss it with the old lady." Xie Wenchang said, "Let the old lady ask the mountain god, no matter what, it was the old lady who came to Yushan, and the phoenix blood stone came out, not to mention, there is also the winter sacrifice to the mountain god to open his eyes." ”
Xie Cunli looked at the mine, and then looked at the children and nephews who were boiling people, ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts.
"She's supposed to watch this kind of thing!" He said indignantly, "For so many days, she hasn't shown her face once. ”
Xie Cunli has not entered the mansion for so many days, and now he has no choice but to come.
"She has been stubborn since she was a child, she can't distinguish between big and small things, and she blindly plays tricks."
Standing in front of the mansion, Xie Cunli muttered, looking at Mrs. Xie and Xie Rouhui who came to greet him.
Although the mother and daughter did not guard the mine every day, they were not as haggard as they were in the city.
"Why isn't it the phoenix blood stone in Ayuan's hand?" Xie Cunli couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, his words were not a reproach, but an expression of respect and closeness, but Mrs. Xie's face was suddenly ugly when she heard it.
Xie Wenxing hurriedly talked about the meeting of the two families of the Zhou King and the prefect today.
"Things are getting a little bad now." He said, giving her a reassuring look, "Everyone is very anxious, and it doesn't mean anything else." ”
She has always been a person who takes care of the overall situation, but she is complained about twice, as long as everything is okay at home, what does it matter.
Mrs. Xie nodded, her face softened.
"Second Uncle Ancestor, don't worry, let's think of a way." She said.
The crowd went inside, but was stopped before they could enter the inner house.
"The old lady is resting." The girl said.
Looking at the sun overhead, Xie Cunli suddenly lost his breath.
"When will this rest?" He shouted, "What happened in the mine, let her hurry up." ”
"Yes, this is not a trivial matter, you tell the old lady that this time the phoenix bloodstone, I am afraid that half of the credit will be shared by others." Xie Wenxing said.
Whether it was Xie Cunli's scolding or Xie Wenxing's kindness, the girl was smiling and not in a hurry, not annoyed, not afraid.
"It's a matter of the mine." She said in a crisp voice, "The old lady said, if it's about the mine, just ask Young Master Shao Biao, she doesn't care." ”
Young Master Shao Biao?
Xie Cunli was stunned.
What's the matter with him?
Xie Wenxiu sighed behind.
"Yes, yes, the old lady said that she would ask Shao Mingqing about mining." He remembered something.
"Ask him? What if you don't ask him? Xie Cunli said angrily.
"If you don't ask him, you can't dig it out." Xie Wenxiu said.
What the?
Xie Cunli glared at him angrily.
Xie Wenxiu waved his hand in fright.
"I didn't say it, it was the old lady who said it." He stretched out his hand and pointed to the inner house.
Nonsense! Nonsense!
Xie Cunli flicked his sleeves angrily, and was about to rush in, but Xie Wenxing stretched out his hand to stop him.
"Second uncle, when the old lady came to Yushan, it was Mingqing that this child would stay even if he fell out with the family, and it was natural for the old lady to value him." He said, "Since the old lady wants to give him this face, let's give him this face." ”
He laughed again.
"Besides, Mingqing is not an outsider."
Xie Wenchang, who was standing behind, laughed.
That's right, this Shao Mingqing still has to call him uncle.
"Yes, yes." He hurriedly twisted his beard and said, "What kind of outsider is he, a late-born junior, let me call him." ”
Seeing his subordinates hurrying away, Xie Cunli flicked his sleeves angrily, and subconsciously glanced at Mrs. Xie.
Although he didn't say it this time, Mrs. Xie could still see that his eyes were clearly the same sentence again.
Why isn't it a bloodstone in your hand?
Because I'm a waste? Because I'm inferior to people? Because the mountain god hates me too?
Mrs. Xie gritted her teeth, her face pale.
"I'll go rest first." She said, not waiting for anyone to stay, and turned to leave.
Xie Wenxing had the heart to go with him to take a look, but thinking of the important matter at hand, he still didn't leave.
"Second Uncle Ancestor, let's wait in this house." He stretched out his hand and asked.
………………………………………………….
The late-born juniors are much better talkative than Mrs. Xie, and it didn't take long for Shao Mingqing to come.
"Mingqing, the mine is busy now, you have to worry a little more." Xie Wenxing said to him with a smile, "Now you are familiar with it here." ”
Shao Mingqing smiled and responded with a smile.
"Okay, you go and ask the old lady how to dig the phoenix bloodstone." Xie Cunli was impatient and polite, and went straight to the point.
What else should you be polite to a junior, it is enough to ask him a word.
"Yes, Mingqing, go and ask, I can't wait now." Xie Wenchang said.
Shao Mingqing stood still and did not move.
"Well, don't bother the old lady." He smiled and said, "I'll just come." ”
Everyone in the room looked at him in amazement.
"You're coming? What can you do? Xie Wenchang asked.
"I can dig up the Bloodstone." Shao Mingqing said.
Xie Wenchang stood up suddenly, but he still had some sense.
Anyone can dig out the phoenix bloodstone, the difference is how long it takes to dig it out.
"How long will it take you to dig up the Bloodstone?" He asked.
"It's a little bit harder." Shao Mingqing said.
A sneer appeared on the corners of the mouths of everyone in the room.
“…… At least 10 days and half a month. Shao Mingqing continued.
Everyone's laughter condensed at the corners of their mouths.
"What are you talking about?" Xie Cunli slapped the table and shouted.
Shao Mingqing smiled.
"It's not a big deal, I don't have a verbal fight with the elders, let me dig and dig it out." "However, there are a few things that the elders have to agree to before digging. ”
Dare to threaten! Xie Cunli glared and was about to slap the table, but Xie Wenxing spoke first.
"So Mingqing is very sure?" He laughed.
Dare to put forward conditions and dare to coerce, then you will naturally have a plan.
The people in the room thought of this and looked at Shao Mingqing.
Shao Mingqing smiled and nodded.
"Moreover, by listening to my conditions, the elders will know how sure I am." He said with a grin.
Xie Wenxing smiled and nodded.
"Okay, tell me about it." He said.
"First of all, I want to be the chief supervisor of Yushan Mine." Shao Mingqing said.
Xie Wenchang snorted.
"Aren't you right now?" He said.
Shao Mingqing smiled.
"That's just the old lady making fun of me." He said, "I still want the approval of the elders." ”
Xie Wenchang's mind turned.
For others, there is no benefit to recognizing Shao Mingqing, but for him, nephews and sons are similar, if Shao Mingqing can take charge of Yushan, won't it mean that they are in charge of the second room?
"It's not easy for you to get the approval of your elders as a child." He snorted.
Not easy, not that it can't be.
The people in the room immediately understood the meaning of Xie Wenchang's words, and many people lowered their heads and pouted secretly.
Xie Wenxing smiled and didn't care.
"If you can dig up bloodstone, then it will prove that you have the ability to take charge of a mine." He laughed.
Shao Mingqing smiled and thanked him.
"Secondly." He said, "I heard that the eldest lord is going to offer the phoenix bloodstone to the emperor?" ”
"What? Do you have an opinion? Xie Cunli shouted angrily.
"No, no." Shao Mingqing said hurriedly.
"Then what's next?" Xie Wenxing asked.
"Secondly, I want to offer treasures in front of Jingjun." Shao Mingqing said.
As soon as these words came out, the people in the room were in an uproar, and even Xie Wenchang was shocked.
Before entering Beijing, the emperor offered a phoenix blood stone, it was a supreme glory, how many people in the family didn't even dare to think about it, but I didn't expect Shao Mingqing to be ashamed to go and offer treasures!
Don't forget that you don't even have a surname!
Xie Wenxing was neither shocked nor annoyed, but smiled.
"Mingqing, you're really sure." He said meaningfully.
…………………………………………………………………….
After Shao Mingqing retreated, the people in the room argued endlessly, and they all thought that Shao Mingqing was talking big.
"What's the point of him saying that big thing now?" Xie Wenxing said.
That's it....
The people in the room were silent for a moment.
"Then he's too greedy." Xie Wenxiu said, "It's just rampant. ”
Xie Cunli snorted.
"That's someone indulged in his rampantness." He said.
He didn't believe that Shao Mingqing was sure, it must be that Mrs. Xie was sure, and the conditions mentioned by Shao Mingqing were naturally the conditions of Mrs. Xie.
This Xie Shan is really getting more and more nonsense.
"Okay, just do as he says." Mrs. Xie, who was called over to make a decision, said impatiently, "I don't care what benefits he wants, I just look at what benefits I want, my benefit is to get the phoenix blood stone and present it to the emperor, the benefits he wants don't matter to me, just give it to him." ”
But it has to do with our good......
The people in the room had mixed expressions.
Someone outside the door hurriedly replied.
"Master, the people in the mine have stopped working, and they really can't dig anymore, one by one, no miners dare to go in."
Unexpectedly......
"Although he wants a lot, don't forget, he is our own person after all." Xie Wenxing stood up and said, "Do you have to wait for the Zhou Wang family to bring someone to dig up the phoenix blood stone for us?" ”
……………………………………………………………
Seeing Shao Mingqing coming, the supervisors and stewards of the mine who had already learned the news all had complicated expressions, especially Supervisor Liao, who originally regarded this kid as an apprentice, but he didn't expect to become his boss in a blink of an eye.
"Mingqing, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask me." Xie Wenchang said later, "You can't act recklessly. ”
Now he put on the appearance of being in charge of himself, and the other old men of the Xie family behind him pouted.
Shao Mingqing didn't know if he heard it or not, he looked up and looked ahead, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Here!" He shouted.
What the?
The crowd looked up and saw a girl darting down the mine, her mask glistening in the daylight.
"Ah, she, why is she here?" Xie Wenchang shouted, with a little disgust, "The eldest lady has said that she is not allowed to walk around." ”
Shao Mingqing ignored it.
"Get ready to work." He said.
Supervisor Liao snorted twice on the side.
"Young Master Shao, it's too dangerous inside, you can't do any work, and everyone refuses to go into the cave." He said.
Shao Mingqing smiled.
"Impossible." He said, stepping forward step by step and shouting at the miners who were sitting or standing around, "Who went into the cave with Miss Roujia to dig up the phoenix bloodstone?" ”
What the? With Miss Roujia?
As soon as Xie Wenchang and the others frowned and were about to speak, they saw those originally lifeless miners jumping up one after another.
"Me!"
"Me!"
One shout after another rang out, and in an instant, it became a commotion, and everyone rushed in one direction.
On the rocks over there, the masked girl stood cross-legged, laughing as she watched the miners look up.
"Who's coming with me!" She said loudly, waving her hand, "I'll take you in, I'll take you out." ”
"Miss Roujia! Miss Roujia! ”
One shout after another, accompanied by raised and waved hands, was overwhelming.
Xie Wenchang and the others were dumbfounded, and at the same time, their scalps were numb.
For...... Why? Just because she took those miners out of the predicament last time, do these people trust her so much?
Shao Mingqing smiled and walked over there, thinking of something and then turning his head to look at these dumb people.
"Oh yes, yes." He said, "Since I am solely responsible for this matter, then this mine, idle people, etc...."
Speaking of the four words of idle people, Shao Mingqing's gaze swept over Xie Wenchang, Xie Wenxiu and other people from the Xie family, and smiled slightly.
"Don't come here and walk around."
This little bastard!
Xie Wenchang and the others' faces suddenly turned pale, what did he take them for!
"Remembered." Shao Mingqing added with a smile, "Otherwise, you will cause an accident and delay the construction period, and I will not be responsible." ”
Looking at the group of people who were angry but still rode away on horseback and left in a car, Shao Mingqing breathed a sigh of relief with a bit of enjoyment.
"It's a good feeling to be right." He said.
Xie Roujia laughed.
"Then Uncle Shao." She clenched her fists and bowed, "Can the little ones work?" ”
Shao Mingqing nodded arrogantly.
"Go ahead." He waved his hand and said, "Do a good job, Uncle Ben will not treat you badly in the future." ”
Xie Roujia laughed and turned around.
"Kaishan Stone!" She raised her hand and shouted in a long voice.
"Kaishan Stone!"
"The faucet in front of you, hey, hey, you have to lift it!"
"It's all back, hey, he
A neat and loud trumpet echoed throughout the mountain.
