Shi Tuo looked up at Ji Xinyu and lowered his head again, sat back in his seat and said embarrassedly: "This ...... These corpses need to be cut off and made of lime, and when the matter is reported to the imperial court, the imperial court will have a reward, and then someone will be sent to inspect it. ”

"I see, thank you General Shi for your advice, I'll let people do it." Ji Xinyu said with a smile.

"I don't know if Shizi can take Shi to see the corpses and captives of these pirates." Shi Tuo took a sip of tea to relieve the embarrassment and said in a roundabout way.

Ji Xinyu knew his purpose, and he didn't say anything, he raised his head and smiled generously and said, "It's okay, please ask General Shi to come with me." ”

The two of them first looked at the prisoners who were held in the empty house outside the woods, these prisoners had been stupefied by yesterday's scene, and most of them were wounded, and now they were all half dead and half lying on the straw, and they all shivered and shrank into the corner of the wall when they saw someone coming.

When Stort saw the skin and clothing of these people, he knew that they were indeed captives, and that they were all frightened, and there was no possibility of killing them. People who are adrift on the sea all the year round, because of the erosion of the sea breeze and the scorching sun, their skin is basically rough and black and red, which is still very different from those who live on land.

After reading the captives, Ji Xinyu walked more than a mile south with a face full of envy, and came to a small mountain forest next to the road, where he saw several guards disposing of the 34 corpses.

After looking at all the corpses, Storf finally fully believed in the fact that 34 people were killed and 5 prisoners were captured, and he no longer had a trace of doubt. The two returned to Ji Xinyu's courtyard, and Shi Tuo arched his hand and said: "The prince is really wise and martial, he has made such a great contribution when he first arrived in Qiongzhou, Shi admires it." ”

Ji Xinyu said with a smile: "It's all the credit of the guards, and my son doesn't know how to fight." ”

"That's also the son of the world's strategizing and using troops like a god, I don't know how the son of the world is going to report this great achievement?" Trust's flattery.

Ji Xinyu said quietly and deliberately: "Naturally, it will be reported to the Changshi Division of my Shu Wangfu first, and then the Changshi of the Wangfu will report to the Shengshang." ”

"This ...... Your Highness can't, this victory must naturally be reported to the Holy Lord as soon as possible. The prince first reported to Bashu, and then reported to the capital from Bashu, and it is estimated that it will take two months to reach the capital. Isn't this a waste of precious time, the saint will definitely not like to see the battle report reported so late, and when the time comes, the big work will become a small one, and he may even blame it, then the gain will outweigh the loss. Shi Tuo seemed to have prepared his words a long time ago, plucked up the courage to finish in one breath, and then looked at Ji Xinyu with a smile on his face.

"Then General Shi thinks it's better to report it?" Ji Xinyu didn't say much, just said with a faint smile.

"Shi thought that the envoy should be commanded by Qiongzhou and sent to the capital through the express shop, and it would be there in half a month." Stor's purpose for the future was finally stated.

"That'...... There is General Rausch to do it for him, and this son also wants the saint to get this good news as soon as possible. Ji Xinyu smiled and replied with a boat.

"Then can Shi be ...... in this recital?" said Shi Tuo with some embarrassment.

"This crackdown on bandits was also successful under the deterrence of the guards under the command of General Shi, and naturally General Shi also had a share of the credit. This son has not thanked General Shi, what a sin. Ji Xinyu pretended to have just reacted, and arched his hand and said.

"The son of the world is really ...... Is...... Then Shi thanked the prince for his support. Stortozhi didn't know how to say it for a long time, so he simply bowed down with a cheeky face.

"General Shi is polite, they are all on Qiongzhou Island, and they should take care of each other." Ji Xinyu said magnanimously.

Shi Tuo, who originally wanted to ask for a head, didn't open his mouth in the end, even if he asked for a head, Ji Xinyu wouldn't give it to him. Without a head, it is estimated that Ji Yushan will instigate Shi Tuo to kick him away, Ji Xinyu is not so stupid.

Sending away the satisfied Shi Tuo, Ji Xinyu called He Xingwang and told him the result, He Xingwang agreed with this approach, not only gave Shi Tuo face, but also reported the good news as soon as possible, which is considered to kill two birds with one stone, the only unpleasant thing is that it is estimated that Ji Yushan will be counted in this credit.

He Xingwang also brought good news, there are two Yin brothers among the displaced people, who once helped the gentry raise pigs and sheep in their hometown, and they are very experienced, He Xingwang has arranged for them to go to the farm to be responsible for the breeding of pigs and sheep there, but now the difficulty is that the food for feeding the pigs is not enough, and it is a waste of manpower to arrange people to go around to beat pigweed, Ji Xinyu thought about it and told He Xingwang that he would find a way, so that the Yin brothers would take care of the pigs and sheep first.

Pacify He Xingwang and let the Guards continue to train, while Ji Xinyu is ready to take advantage of the time when Shi Tuo and Ji Yushan are robbing for credit, go to the fake silver mine they have developed to take a look, I don't know how far it has been excavated now.

After explaining that He Xingwang took care of Lingchuan Mansion, Liu Qin was arranged to go to the newly built mansion to help supervise the work. Ji Xinyu changed into civilian clothes and took Chen Liang and the four guards to Lingshan Mansion together, and the rifles he carried were wrapped in cloth bags and tied to the horse, which ordinary people couldn't see.

The horseback riding for more than ten miles arrived quickly, and the guards hid themselves and the horses, while Ji Xinyu took the mountain path north of Chen Liang and ran in the direction of the silver mine. After walking for nearly half an hour on the mountain road of Sanli, Ji Xinyu lay on the top of the middle of the two mines and looked down. Aiden has already investigated, except for a few guards at the intersection, there is not a single guard, only dozens of miners in the mine are scattered in the two mines and are working hard to dig stones, and Zhao Qingzhi is actually in one of the mines.

This mine has been dug into more than 100 meters, according to the volume of this mountain, it should be dug to the middle, the other one has also been dug for forty or fifty meters, and a small pile of silver ore dug out has been placed on the side of the road near the junction, the quality is very average, and the "waste ore" is piled up into a hill in the valley on the other side. The mine was pitch black, only lit by torches, which made Ji Xinyu very worried about the safety of the miners.

"It's really a waste, such a big silver mine has only dug out so much silver ore, how did you open the mine, I don't know if you can dig it again." Zhao Qingzhi was losing his temper at a miner leader at the moment

He couldn't accept that this mine only had such a small output, and the silver mountain of his dreams was now a pile of stones, which made him very devastated, and he felt that he couldn't explain it to the prefect. This is also the reason why he has not given up until now, and as a last resort, he can only increase his manpower again and reopen a mine, hoping to find a real silver mine.

"You let us dig in from here! We're just listening to you. The miner leader said with obvious grievances.

"I said that you just didn't look at it and dug it directly? Won't you dig up after a closer look? Zhao Qingzhi continued to scold. However, it is obvious that the momentum just now.

Ji Xinyu almost laughed out loud when he heard Aiden relay Zhao Qingzhi's performance, he came today because he thought that Zhao Qingzhi should almost give up, but he didn't expect that he was still insisting.

But it doesn't matter, Zhao Qingzhi arranged the "waste ore" mountain very remotely, and no one would notice it when he collected a part. Ji Xinyu slowly retreated, went around to the side of the manganese ore mountain, walked to the blind corner of Chen Liang's line of sight and began the smelting of manganese ore. In less than twenty minutes, Aiden's mining space was almost full, and if he smelted it again, he would find that there was too much less, and after throwing the waste under the stone pile to recharge, Ji Xinyu left here.

Finding Chen Liang, the two rode back to Lingchuan Mansion, and on the way, Chen Liang asked Ji Xinyu strangely: "Young Master, are you still looking for gold mines?" Why are those people mining, did they discover the gold mine? ”

"No, I'm just curious about what kind of mine they are digging, and I am relieved that it doesn't look like a gold mine today." Ji Xinyu replied with a smile.

After casually flickering a few words to send Chen Liang away, after returning to Lingchuan Mansion, Ji Xinyu just wanted to chat with Liu Qin, but was interrupted by He Xingwang, who came in a hurry: "Young master, the village that has gathered several villages outside is about to see the young master, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”

"Did they say anything?" Ji Xinyu asked.

He Xingwang said with a difficult face: "Young master, you better ask yourself......

"Okay, you bring them in."

Not long after, He Xingwang took five or six old people into the living room, Liu Qin went to serve tea and stood aside, and He Xingwang also stood on the other side of Ji Xinyu.

"What are the old people asking to see me?" Ji Xinyu looked at a few fifty or sixty-year-old people and asked.
