Qin Yue stroked the small piece of broken silver in his hand and was speechless for a long time.

I really can't believe that this seemingly solemn guy in front of me, but in fact he is a hanger, can really refine silver from a few stones.

This was obtained by watching him and his men pick it up in the barren stone mountain and then smelt it.

Although the process is complicated, it is also scooping, stirring, making cellar balls, and then boiling, not to mention the time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the silver yield is also very low, but this is real silver.

"Are the minerals really rich?"

Although he watched him smelt, even if Liu Qiang and others were staring at him when he was a little relieved, Qin Yue still didn't believe it.

"There's no silver, why are you staying on that mountain, the cold wind is blowing, it's very cold." An Guoyan sat on the chair, still hanging on his head, and kept playing with the sachet hanging from his waist.

"But these hundreds of pounds of stones are less than two taels of silver......"

"Ah, stay behind." An Guoyan stood up violently, waved his fist and said: "How much better, is this a good pick up on the ground, dig down, dig down, dig down, and dig down, the ore will be better and better." ”

“…… Okay, you plan to make a statement, let's open a mine to smelt silver. ”

"Wow......"

Qin Yue looked at An Guoyan jumping and jumping like a child, and he regretted it a little, this person in front of him, how to look at it, how unreliable.

……

Fengzhou City.

Chen Scar, who had commanded a day of hard work at the head of the city, returned to the camp, ready to soak his feet and rest, and rode at a gallop, but it was Liu Qiang, who went to Liangdang with Qin Yue.

Chen Scar's heart tightened, and he hurriedly got up and said, "What's the matter, I haven't come back for many days?" ”

Liu Qiang wiped his sweat and whispered to Chen Scar: "I found the silver mine, Jiulang asked Uncle Chen to take charge." ”

"Silver mines?"

Liu Qiang desperately suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Yes, we are going to get rich......"

Chen Scar's tiredness was suddenly swept away, and with a "hey" sound, he slammed his fist on the table, and immediately ordered all the people from the two capitals, all of whom were old brothers from Beijing, who had relied on them, and handed over the camp affairs to Jiayin, and set off overnight.

When we arrived at Liangdang, the sky was slightly bright, and the city gates were not opened.

Fortunately, the old brother was also on duty at the head of the city, and he reported to the county government while opening the city.

Qin Yue slept late last night, and after being woken up, he shook his head for a long time before he woke up, and hurriedly went out to greet him.

When he arrived at the entrance of the yamen, Chen Scar had already arrived on horseback, so he simply sat down in the lobby to talk.

Qin Yue simply told what had happened, and said with a smile: "Then An Guoyan is really a good skill, he can judge that there is silver on the ground from a very ordinary stone, and now the silver has been tried, how to nationalize the barren mountain is Di Baoheng's business, how to mine and refine silver, is An Guoyan's business, you are responsible for surrounding the mountain, and not a bird will fly out." ”

Chen Scar nodded and said solemnly: "Such a big event, you should be cautious and rest assured." ”

"That guy is a slippery loach carp, and he is very ghostly, if he hadn't been unlucky, he would have been caught by Zhao Shanbao, who had swept the mountain, before he had implemented the regulations. Seeing that something is wrong, this is the only way to offer advice to save your life, you have to prevent him from being a demon moth. ”

"Well, then I'll stare at him."

"With you, I am naturally relieved, and you also take care of the safety of construction, and would rather dig less than take risks."

Chen Scar nodded and asked, "Don't report to the imperial court?" ”

"How can it, unless you don't care about your head, dig out the silver first, this matter is not urgent, you are here, I will go to the river pool first, and then go back to Fengzhou to discuss a comprehensive charter with Zeng Wucheng and them."

"Okay."

When Chen Scar came, Qin Yue completely put his mind at ease, had breakfast with Chen Scar, and explained a few words to An Guoyan and Di Baoheng, and then set off.

Silver mines are a big deal, and so is defending against foreign enemies.

Hechi is close to the Qingniling of West Shu, which is the first checkpoint for Shu soldiers to get out of the customs, and there is no room for loss.

The county commander Zhou Xichong is seven in his Chinese New Year's Eve this year, it is when he is in the prime of life, and he has the shrewdness of a businessman, long sleeves and good dancing, and Qiao Qingshan quickly formed a joint team, heard that Qin Yue was coming, and waited at the official pavilion early.

But when he saw Qin Yue riding lightly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Now is not the time to set up scores, the day is gloomy, let's go back to the city and talk again."

Qin Yue slapped Qiao Qingshan with a whip, which could be regarded as a greeting, and turned to speak to Zhou Xichong: "Zhou County orders the people of Tangzhou, can you live in this northwest place?" ”

Zhou Xichong said with a smile: "I was really unaccustomed to it when I first came, but now, it's been almost three years, and I don't get used to it, please stay later." ”

"Please, don't be so polite between you and me."

After Qin Yue entered the city, he first drank a cup of tea in the county yaluo, and then inspected the defense of the four cities accompanied by Qiao Qingshan, and was very satisfied with the defense arrangement of Hechi County.

Qiao Qingshan didn't talk much, but he had the right idea, he was the most powerful middle-level general in the Huya Army, and because he had the right idea, Liu Qiang, Song Qun and others were unwilling to come to his camp, so Qin Yue simply stopped arranging his deputy, and arranged it himself.

Next, I visited the barracks and saw that more than 200 soldiers were practicing under the leadership of veterans, all of them in good spirits, and I couldn't help but be surprised.

Qiao Qingshan said with a smile: "After using the old wisdom that was originally in Meng County, nearly half of it was eliminated first, and then it was easy to talk and communicate, stabilize the mind, and practice." ”

"Very good, Fengzhou has just begun to set an example, but you have done it quietly, and you have done a good job. We have just been transferred over, and the spies of the Shu army must be frequent, so you should be more careful. ”

"The army is insufficient, so we can only strictly control the inside of the city, but we can't take care of the outside of the city. The five beacons only exchanged two tithes, and the other three tithes were postponed and held on, and they could only be motivated by salary. ”

"Hold on for now, and when the state soldiers are trained, your burden will be lighter."

The two talked as they walked, from military affairs to county governance, and they inevitably asked about the county commander Zhou Xichonglai, but they were highly affirmed by Qiao Qingshan.

"This person has a lot of experience in the matter of agriculture and mulberry, in the past two years to repair water conservancy, tidy ditches, do a lot of practical things, and also use his own connections, docking several businesses, group sales of medicinal materials, fungus mountain treasures and other things, oh, including Guangshun Hall. It is precisely because he has done many practical things for the people that he is admired by the people......"

Qin Yue burst into a foul mouth, thinking that he was a traverser, and he couldn't imagine such a thing as attracting investment, and he would lose to a small county order.

The situation is changing here, the situation is unstable, and the caravan is reluctant to come, but it can go out.

Back to the county office, asked about the business situation, Zhou Xichong did a lot of things himself, so the answer is like a stream, the river pool mainly has ginkgo seeds, mushrooms, fungus, medicinal materials, honey and other specialties, Liangdang and Fengxian are also very different.

Qin Yue said with emotion: "Don't take things as small, although these mountain goods can't increase much for taxes, but for the people, they have surplus money in their hands, Brother Defeng has done a good job, and he should be a model for my generation." ”

Zhou Xichong said with a smile: "Although there is a saying about the small Jiangnan in Longshang, it is always a poor place, there is no production, it is not as good as a big city, and the people can only rely on these in exchange for pocket money. ”

"No, it's time for a big thumbs up."

Qin Yue said with a smile: "Fungus, mushrooms and these dry goods can be planted, after drying, transportation is also convenient, it just so happens that I remembered the cultivation recipe, when I go back to Fengzhou, try to see if I can cultivate successful mushrooms, as long as the mushrooms are successfully planted, this thing can be planted like vegetables, well, there are also honey, medicinal herbs, these can also be expanded......

In short, we must find a way to become bigger, form industrialization, and scale effect. As for the way out, don't worry, our wife of General A turned out to be the young owner of the Jingshi Guangshun Hall. ”

Zhou Xichong was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "If there is such a good thing, it is really a blessing for the people of Hechi, and the lower officials have thanked the old folks on behalf of their fathers." ”

……

Shiitake mushroom fungus is one of the economic pillars of the Qin Yue family in the previous life. Originated from the previous life of the three grandmothers' mother's family Longquan, her family cut flowers and mushrooms for generations, and after marrying, the secret skills were cherished, but after the basswood mushroom method was popularized, under her leadership, the villagers did not plant fragrant fungus.

Qin Yue smelled the smell of mushrooms when he was a teenager, and the mushroom shed was one of the places he didn't want to go to.

It's really impermanent.
