Chapter 57 Digging Coal in the Mountains
Back on the mountain, Huangfu Ming and Zhuo Gang went down to prepare for the departure of the ancestral calendar tomorrow, the required personnel, materials and other things, while Liu Yun returned to the small courtyard alone.
Under the grass pavilion, Wang Ting was squatting by the brazier and roasting a leg of mutton, and the aroma of the bubble wafted through the entire courtyard.
Seeing Liu Yun coming in, Wang Ting immediately put down the work in his hand and got up to greet him.
"Lord, taste it, this is what I just killed, take care of it and bring it to the lord, I feel that there is a little bit of the lord's demeanor when it is baked." Wang Ting said with a smile.
Liu Yun walked into the grass pavilion, rubbed his frozen stiff hands on the brazier, took the leg of lamb and tasted it, and couldn't help nodding, "Well, it's good, it's really good!" It's a pity that there is no chili pepper, which is really a big regret in life. ”
"Lord, I hear you often talk about chili peppers, what is this chili pepper?" Wang Ting squatted aside and roasted a leg of mutton, and asked curiously.
The word chili, he has heard Liu Yunnian say it countless times, and he has always wondered, but what kind of divine object is it that makes the lord miss it so much.
Liu Yun took out the dagger he carried, slowly cut the leg of mutton, and said with an aftertaste on his face: "When I one day, wave my troops to South America, you will see chili peppers, and you will definitely fall in love with it." ”
Wang Ting laughed shyly and said, "She? The chili pepper that the lord has been thinking about for a long time is actually a girl who is far away, and since the lord is missing, she doesn't dare to fall in love with her. ”
Liu Yun's face turned black as soon as he brushed it, and the black lines on his head, what kind of brain circuit is this?
"Wang Ting, I seriously doubt now, your brain is not very suitable for the Nine Palaces Division that requires careful planning, when did you hear my words reveal that chili pepper is a girl, it is food, food! It's food. Liu Yun glared and emphasized.
Wang Ting was frightened by Liu Yun's face, stood up suddenly, stood up with his hands down, and quietly took a step back, muttering, "Can you ...... You didn't say it, my lord, it's food. ”
Wang Ting's reaction scared Liu Yun, he didn't seem to do anything, right? What is this kid afraid of?
Glancing at Wang Ting angrily, Liu Yun motioned for Wang Ting to sit down, and then asked, "How is the investigation going?" ”
The smile on Wang Ting's face instantly receded, and he suddenly said with a serious face: "My lord, Huangfu's name is indeed Huangfuxian's brother, but he has been traveling everywhere and has not returned home for several years. However, the system of ink scholars is strict, we have not found effective information, but there is one piece of unreliable information, and the status of the emperor's name among the ink scholars does not seem to be low. ”
Liu Yun smacked his lips and let out a long sigh.
"Jiugong Division is still a little tender, you have inquired about this news and have not inquired, it is almost the same. For the extension of the intelligence network, you must work harder, what we want is an intelligence network that is all over the world, and we can know what is happening in any corner of the world. ”
"The status of the emperor's name must not be low, otherwise he would not have said those words to me when we met for the first time. It's just that saying, 'That's why I'm here!' You can hear that his status among the ink scholars must be not low. Liu Yun said with some regret.
From the initial attempt, to the real establishment, to the present, it has been less than three months.
There are immediate results, in fact, in all fairness, it is already very good, but there is no best in everything, only better.
Moreover, as far as the current actual situation is concerned, the development of the Jiugong Division is somewhat unable to keep up with the expansion of Liu Yun's power.
It's really hard to say anything!
Among these many things like the Nine Palaces, Liu Yun has the deepest experience of this sentence.
Wang Ting quietly straightened his waist, replied heavily, and asked, "Lord, do you need to continue to investigate?" ”
"Don't check, there's no need, I've decided to trust him. I have already handed over the rebuilding of Mt. Izumo to the Imperial Father, and he will be responsible for the next coal mining. In these things, he is considered a professional. Liu Yun threw a piece of fresh tender mutton into his mouth and said.
Wang Ting's guilty pestle was there, and he instantly lost the freedom he had just now, Jiugong Si was his hard work, and he hoped to get a satisfactory result in everything.
Any dissatisfaction is not what he wants to see.
Liu Yun glanced at it, waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and eat!" The leg of lamb is baked, I'm not afraid of hot mouths, and I'm going to dry it? ”
"Uh...... Here! Wang Ting sat cross-legged, glanced at Liu Yun quietly, and seriously dealt with the leg of mutton in front of him.
……
On the plateau crisscrossed by ravines, a team of men and horses marched between the foothills on the vast snow, like a team of migrating ants.
"Lord, this is already the seventh place, and the land is three feet deep, and there is still nothing to be found." Huangfu Ming squinted at Bai Xueying's somewhat unopened eyes and reported to Liu Yunyu.
Liu Yun was panting heavily, stopped when he heard the words, looked at the surrounding hills covered by a snow the day before, and said, "Keep digging!" You can't be wrong with the approximate location, but the detailed location will definitely take some work. ”
"Whoa!"
The emperor replied, and then ordered the men to disperse, and each of the surrounding hills went to a team.
Liu Yun suddenly remembered something, beckoned the name of the emperor again, and ordered: "Send a few teams of people out and ask the people nearby if they have seen a black stone." ”
Huangfu replied, but still asked with some curiosity: "Lord, will the coal be exposed on the ground?" ”
"Surely!" Zhuo Gang on the side said with great certainty.
Liu Yun nodded and said, "Zhuo Gang is right, he will definitely do." Coal is also known as coal, in fact, there are a few places where people should be using it, but it is not legal, and there is no widespread use in a large area. It's not surprising that there are open-pit mines for one thing that no one mines, just like on Mt. Izumo, where almost all three are open-pit mines. ”
"I understand, so I'll arrange it." The emperor's name is commanded,
After arranging the manpower, Huang Fuming unbuttoned his jacket and went up the mountain shirtless.
Liu Yun couldn't help but shake his head, these people, one by one, really don't take winter into their eyes at all.
It's the tail of winter, but it's still cold!
Oh yes, it's too much to be shirtless!
On the surrounding hills, a team of people were busy with their work, and Liu Yun got into the makeshift camp.
They don't get cold, but he's cold, so let's bake the brazier first.
In the absence of more advanced means of coal mining, Liu Yun had to use this method of casting a wide net.
That's it, he's equivalent to opening a hanging.
Because he knew in advance that there was a store of coal in this place, but he didn't know the exact location.
In addition, Liu Yun also knew that between Zuli and Lingju, there were a large number of gold, silver and copper deposits underground.
These are all good things, Liu Yun naturally won't let them go, sooner or later, sooner or later, it will be sooner or later.
In general, mining is much more elaborate than Dong Zhuo's digging graves.
