Chapter 198: Military Intelligence
Gold mines are very sensitive in the Northern Desert, and everyone knows that there are gold mines in the Northern Desert, but not too many people know where they are ......, after all, the stakes are very high.
Xuan Yi belongs to the type of people who know the location, and he also took the time to look at it, but found that he was not optimistic.
First of all, the person in charge of gold mining is called Chu Xirin, although he is polite to Xuan Yi, it can be seen that he does not intend to hand over the affairs in hand to Xuan Yi.
It stands to reason that there was no king before, but now that Beimo is already Xuan Yi's fief, then this gold mine that belongs to the fief should be handed over to Xuan Yi to take over.
But Chu Xirin didn't, he didn't want to monopolize any benefits, it's just that he was a faction of the emperor who was upright and red, and Chu Xirin couldn't understand the emperor's use of the Northern Desert as the fief of the Qing King, and he also knew that by doing so, he would undoubtedly isolate him in the Northern Desert, but he had no choice, even if it was just a mantis arm as a car, even if it was just a grasshopper shaking the tree, even if he was going to be brought down by the Qing King in the end, he could hold on for a while, just for a while.
Chu Xirin held such an awareness, and was stunned to deal with Xuan Yi, he couldn't hand over the gold mine to Xuan Yi so easily, otherwise, it would definitely be a major threat to the emperor.
Chu Xirin's non-cooperation is one of the troubles, Xuan Yi entered the mine accompanied by Chu Xirin, and found the second problem, the gold mine here in the Northern Desert, the output has become less and less, and this gold mine seems to be drying up.
The gold mines in the northern desert have always been relied on by the Li Dynasty, although there are also in other places, but the output is not comparable, and now if the gold mines are exhausted, then. There will inevitably be an impact on the Li Dynasty.
This was especially the case shortly after the new emperor ascended the throne. Qin Tianjian usually doesn't say anything very good.
Su Nian lowered his head and held the tea cup to look particularly attentive. Who made today's tea? How can the tea soup brewed so clear and clear, it is really a good tea......
After Xuan Yi finished speaking, he stared at Su Nian, but found that she didn't react at all, and frowned habitually: "Are you listening?" ”
Su Nian took a sip of tea and put the teacup down, of course she was listening, but now the question is, what advice does Xuan Yi plan to give herself?
Forget about the front. Chu Xirin's refusal to hand over power bothered Xuan Yi, and this Su Nian could understand.
Loyal to the emperor, you can't use too drastic means, but you can't be restrained just like that, Xuan Yi has no experience in this area, so it's normal to be tied.
But later, what does it matter to him that the gold mine is depleted? That's something the emperor has to worry about, what will the Qin Heavenly Supervisor say. Although Su Nian doesn't know, he can always guess a rough idea, which is nothing more than unlucky, inauspicious, nonsense without any scientific basis.
But. If Xuan Yi has the intention of seizing power, isn't this God helping him? Does that make him worried?
Su Nian sorted it out in her heart, she didn't dare to say that. What Xuan Yi thinks about the emperor, she still shouldn't guess casually.
"Ahem. That, Lord Chu. I don't think there's a problem, if he's been doing well, then let him continue to do it, I think you don't want to worry about these tedious things, right? If Lord Chu is replaced, he will have to resettle people, which is very troublesome. ”
Xuan Yi nodded, that's exactly what he thought.
"As for the gold mine,......" Su Nian paused, and after weighing his words, he said: "The gold mine is a treasure given to us by God, and when God intends to take it back, it is not something we can control." ”
Su Nian saw that Xuan Yi's brows were still unsolved, and he knew that he was not satisfied with this answer, but what could she do? But is gold so easily depleted?
I don't know much about this young man, so I can't easily give irresponsible advice.
"And Xiaocui, when are you going to marry back?" Su Nian simply changed the topic.
Xuan Yi's face wrinkled even tighter, and he looked at Su Nian with puzzled eyes, meaning that she shouldn't handle this matter?
Su Nian was helpless: "Have you ever seen someone get married?" I've agreed here, shouldn't you do something? For example, what is the next small order? ”
Xuan Yi suddenly realized, oh, so that's the case? He doesn't understand, no one has taught him this, so he expects Su Nian for everything.
Now that there is a prompt, Xuan Yi asked someone to do it, but Xiao Cui will not let go of his mouth when he dies.
"Miss......"
"I know, I know, can't I get married? I promise you, you will definitely get married, you will marry first, obedient. ”
“…… Miss, you're not going to find someone to fool Xiaocui, are you? Although Xiaocui is not smart, she is also stubborn! ”
Is that something to be proud of? Su Nian was speechless, but she really thought about it at the beginning, but now she is a little sober.
After Xiao Cui finished speaking, she suddenly realized, "Oh, by the way, Lord Xiao hasn't come back yet." ”
What does this have to do with Lord Xiao! Su Nian was too lazy to talk to her, maybe it was going to rain, and the house was a little stuffy, so she got up and walked out, it was cooler outside.
The days passed day by day, and the situation of Ma Teng, Xuan Yi could also get the news here, so Su Nian knew that Xiao Ge had won the battle again, and suppressed Ma Teng's army to the rear a lot, maybe only one more wave would be able to take Ma Teng.
The news here is not transmitted quickly, and by the time Su Nian knew, it had already happened for a long time, and Su Nian could only watch the good news while praying for Xiao Ge's triumphant return, so that the people of the Li Dynasty could feel at ease, well, that's it.
Xuan Yi is also making good progress here, Chu Xirin is going to confront him with great determination, but Xuan Yi didn't make any moves at all, he didn't hand over the rights, and Xuan Yi didn't ask him to ask for it, the gold mining matter was running normally, which made Chu Xirin very puzzled, I heard that Xuan Yi didn't treat the thorn history of the Northern Desert so "gently"?
Chu Xirin has always been extremely worried, for fear that Xuan Yi would surprise him and make him scared, but Xuan Yi found him and said openly, hoping that he could make persistent efforts, and the affairs of gold mining here in the Northern Desert would be handed over to him.
Xuan Yi's attitude made Chu Xirin incomprehensible, and his heart-to-heart words made him analyze various meanings, but Xuan Yi really didn't care, how to do it before, how to do it, he didn't have the slightest intention of interfering.
Xuan Yi doesn't intend to let himself become a prince who eats and waits for death, on the contrary, he is very active, there are many places in the Northern Desert that can be developed, especially the trade with some foreign races, it can be more prosperous, so that those good things in the foreign races can flow farther.
Maybe he will stay in this place for the rest of his life, Xuan Yi often looks at this land and is stunned, this is where his mother used to stay, if he makes this place more prosperous, will his mother be even happier when he sees it?
***********************
It's time for the military information to be passed on again, Su Nian has been waiting for Xuan Yi to come to her, and every time Xuan Yi receives information from the front, he will come to her and throw the information on the table for her to see.
But this time time has passed, and Xuan Yi did not appear.
What's going on? Su Nian muttered in his heart, was Xuan Yi stumbling over things? Or is it too late? Su Nian shook his head, and put his right hand on his chest, the weather was too depressing, the air pressure was too low, and his heart was a little uncomfortable.
Who knows, very late, Xuan Yi appeared in Su Nian's courtyard, and he personally handed over the two volumes of documents to Su Nian's hands, "The green seal is the letter from General Xiao to you." ”
This is the first time that Xiao Ge has sent a letter to himself, and Su Nian first put another volume of documents sealed in yellow next to him, and looked at opening Xiao Ge's letter.
The letter was written very briefly, Su Nian had seen Xiao Ge's words, which was obviously a little messy, it seemed to be written in a hurry, it said that he was fine now, but there was important information that needed to be brought to the emperor, and the volume was sealed in yellow, which was to be brought to the emperor's secret report, he didn't believe in others, and hoped that Su Nian could help him send this volume of information to the emperor in person.
Su Nian put down the scroll in his hand, looked at the secret report, and thought to himself that when he sent it, didn't he trust the person who sent the letter, why couldn't he send it directly to the capital?
However, this seems to be the first time that Xiao Ge has asked himself to help with things, so it is reasonable, Su Nian can't refuse, Xiao Ge's tone is very anxious, Su Nian immediately asked Xuan Yi to help arrange it.
Su Nian originally planned to leave Xiaocui behind, but it has come to this point, it would be wrong to take Xiaocui away by herself, no matter what she said, she should stay by Xuan Yi's side.
But what he didn't expect was that Xuan Yi actually refused, "It's a long way from here to the capital, and it would be better to have Xiaocui by your side." ”
But Xuan Yi didn't have this attitude before, why did he change again? If Xiao Cui goes to the capital with him and then comes back, it will take a long time, how can Xuan Yi be willing?
Su Nian wanted to say something, but Xiao Cui had already packed up her things and came over with a smile: "Miss, when Lord Xiao returns triumphantly, Xiao Cui will come to the Northern Desert again, that's just right." ”
What's just right? Su Nian didn't want to ask, turned his head and got into the carriage, Xuan Yi stood there without saying a word, watching Su Nian say goodbye to her, watching their carriage slowly drive away from his sight.
On Xuan Yi's desk, there is another volume of documents lying down, hoping that he can send Su Nian back to Beijing immediately, Ma Teng, there should be no threat to the Li Dynasty in the future, but Xiao Ge, whether he can come back or not can only depend on whether God can open his grace.
*********************
On the way back to the capital from the Northern Desert, Su Nian was bored, took out the master's Liu's medical poison and looked at it vigorously, but he had no choice but to have no medicinal materials in his hand to do experiments, so he wilted sullenly.
walked all the way in a daze, and finally saw the capital before Su Nian was about to lose his hand. (To be continued......)
