Chapter 026: Free Labor

Li Huai looked at Zhao Qingzhi and said: "These people are different, one of them is the prince of Shu, the emperor's relatives, the prefect can't move him casually, and the prefect has already issued a document agreeing to him to build a mansion in the wilderness outside the city of Qiongzhou, originally I wanted him to retreat in the face of difficulties, and return to Bashu to wait for the new will of the saint, I never thought that he really wanted to build a mansion in this Qiongzhou, and the prefect and I underestimated him." ”

"The Emperor...... Relatives of the Imperial Family! That's not what we offended, this silver ore...... Do you want to give them back? Zhao Qingzhi heard that the emperor's relatives and relatives were empty, after all, he was just a small rich man in the poor countryside on Qiongzhou Island, although he had fame, but he didn't have the courage to offend the emperor's relatives.

"Brother Zhao don't worry, this King of Shu has been punished by the Holy Lord and moved his fief to Qiongzhou, if he really moves his fief to We, then we really have to be careful. But this king of Shu was dissatisfied with this matter, and asked for a holy complaint in Beijing, but he couldn't come to our Qiongzhou, and now he only sent Ji Xinyu, a little doll, to Qiongzhou to build a mansion first. There are 9,000 years old in the capital, and the king of Shu can't afford to make any waves, and the final result is ...... I think that the king of Shu is going to come to Qiongzhou again, and it is very likely that he was assigned. Li Huai patiently explained to Zhao Qingzhi.

"If that's the case, what are we going to do with the ore now? How can you get this mine? Zhao Qingzhi asked.

Li Huai touched the goatee that was no longer left, and said: "Originally, the prefect didn't pay attention to this Ji Xinyu, but now that he has this silver mine, he can't be cheap, otherwise he will easily gain a firm foothold." Brother Zhao, you immediately send someone to this Ji Xinyu's room again to see if you can get the specific location map of the silver mine, if you can get the map, it is the best, if you can't get it, you have to find another way. ”

"Okay, I'll send someone back right away." After Zhao Qingzhi finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Ji Xinyu and the guards were still dining in the hall, Chen Liang, who originally wanted to go back to the room, was also stopped by Ji Xinyu to continue drinking, Chen Liang was worried about the silver nuggets in the room, he didn't know that the silver nuggets had been received by Aiden for the mining space, and now the only thing with "value" was the silver ore and map in Ji Xinyu's package.

"Aiden, did they come to steal, I'm full and want to sleep." Ji Xinyu asked a little impatiently.

"The two thieves just now have entered the back door, and are now walking towards your room, and they have not stopped the guys who met several inns on the way, and it seems that they all know each other." Aiden is reporting in real time.

"Well, it's finally here, tell me when they're done, and I'll go back to sleep." Ji Xinyu said lazily.

"They've entered the room and are rummaging through your luggage, but the two thieves are a bit clumsy, they don't have the map at hand, and they've been rummaging through the silver ore." Aiden reported, his tone still looking anxious about a few thieves.

Ji Xinyu said speechlessly: "It's really two stupid thieves, don't worry, it is estimated that these two thieves are illiterate, Li Huai told them to find a map, they should find out soon, after all, you still have a circle on the map with the word 'silver', they should know that word." ”

"They got the map, but they took it backwards, and they didn't understand it after looking at it for a while...... Now that I'm here, I think I understand...... Now I put the map in my pocket and get ready to leave. Aiden said with a sigh of relief.

Ji Xinyu also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's not easy to finally succeed...... It's good to get it, I'm really anxious for them, I want to go up and help him if I don't have to do it anymore, how is it now, are you gone? ”

"I've left your room, and I'm quickly leaving through the back door of the inn." Aiden replied.

"It's very fast to steal things and jog so fast, so I'll stare at the restaurant opposite to see if there's any movement." Ji Xinyu said.

At this time, in the private room of the restaurant opposite, the thief dressed in black handed Ji Xinyu's backpack into Zhao Qingzhi's hands and retreated.

Zhao Qingyi said with a smug face: "These members of my family are famous and capable, and they are still very reliable, please take a look at it." ”

Taking the package handed over by Zhao Qingzhi, Li Huai hurriedly opened it to check, and when he saw the map on the top, he also said happily: "Brother Zhao has a lot of capable people, and he is really neat in his work, congratulations, this thing is done." ”

"Master Li has won the award, it's still okay for a few subordinates to do some rough work, if you are sent, just give orders." Hearing Li Huai's praise, Zhao Qingzhi was a little embarrassed and said modestly.

At this time, Li Huai had already taken out a pen and paper, and after carefully distinguishing it for a while, he copied the places marked on the map, and quickly restored the package and handed it to Zhao Qingzhi and said: "Now hurry up and send the things back as they are, don't startle the snake." ”

Zhao Qingzhi took the package and was stunned for a moment...... Then he nodded and said, "It's still Lord Li's thoughtfulness." Then he turned around and called someone to carry the two packages out, while Li Huai took the copied map and studied it.

"This place is 15 miles south of Lingshan Town, there are indeed several mountains in that place, and there are mountains and forests next to it, this mountain is also 3-4 miles away from the official road, and the road to the mountain is just a small road, it seems that mining is still a little troublesome." Li Huai said to himself.

"Lord Li, this is not a trouble, as long as you find more people, it is still very easy to widen a road for 3-4 miles, I have also been to this place, there are too many such hills in Qiongzhou, no one cares, I didn't expect that there would be silver mines on the mountain." Zhao Qingzhi heard Li Huai's self-talk and said on the side.

"Don't get in the way, the top priority now is to hand over this map to the prefect Ji overnight, and ask him to send someone to protect it, so that it is not a borderless place, and Ji Xinyu has no way to keep it for himself." Li Huai said.

Immediately, Li Huai called his entourage, and asked Zhao Qingzhi to find a few guides who were familiar with the road, and set off back to Qiongzhou City overnight to report the news, and Li Huai and Zhao Qingzhi began to discuss the plan to occupy the silver mine early tomorrow morning.

Ji Xinyu received Aiden's report and knew that Li Huai had copied the map and had already started to act, while their own ores and maps were sent back to the room, which made Ji Xinyu cry and laugh, he was ready to lose these ores, but the "shrewd" Li Huai sent them back, which was also a surprise.

The hill drawn on this map is actually a mountain that Aiden probed out before, inside is a small manganese ore, silver ore is only a small part of the periphery, and the manganese ore is in the interior of the mountain, it is too difficult to mine, now Aiden can't mine on a large scale, Ji Xinyu was originally not going to take people to mine, but now that someone can help, he naturally has to make good use of it.

Tungsten ore is similar to ordinary stones, people in this era are basically no one can recognize them, with the associated silver ore to seduce them to open a mine, and when they dig the waste rock that loses confidence and drops a place, Ji Xinyu can go over to pick up the cheap, this mine they are destined to lose money, if it is mined according to the silver mine, the silver obtained is not as much as the silver invested.

Looking at Chen Liang and the guards, who had already drunk about the same, Ji Xinyu asked them to rest early, no one should disturb them today.

Early the next morning, Ji Xinyu, Chen Liang and others returned to Lingchuan Mansion. And Ji Yushan, the prefect who got the news, immediately contacted the commander of the capital. After explaining the situation to Heshituo, he sent a hundred households, led the people of the headquarters to Lingshan Town, and after meeting with Li Huai, he rushed to the hill where the "silver mine" was located according to the map and stationed there.

The commander of the capital is the highest military governor of Zhongzhou State in Qiongzhou Prefecture, responsible for all the deployment of troops in the eleven internal and external offices. and Ji Yushan, one army and one government, each performing their own duties. The matter of mobilizing the army naturally has to be completed by Shi Tuo, and as for the final distribution of benefits, it depends on the private negotiation between Ji Yushan and Shi Tuo.

Ji Xinyu lay on the bed, listened to Aiden's report on the transfer of personnel outside, and said with a smile: "It's really hard for them, it's really a little unpleasant, if there is manganese, plus the tungsten we brought back this time, our mineral warehouse will be richer, we have now collected dozens of minerals, but the amount is not large, and the tungsten brought back this time is still a large amount." ”

"If there was more space, there would be no need to worry about minerals, and it would not be a problem to mine one mountain at a time, and I vaguely remember that the previous mining methods were not what we are now, but I don't remember the specifics." Aiden said with some disappointment, he missed his large mining space.

"It's okay, it's good to have these now, and now the amount of these metals is not very large." Ji Xinyu comforted.
