Datong Mansion Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu envoy inner house, Gao Qiqian half lying on the couch, squinting his eyes, thinking to himself; As soon as the door rang, a man in brocade clothes about twenty years old came in, and said with a smile on his face: "Dad, are you always looking for a child?" Hey hey"

The person who came was Gao Qiqian's righteous son Kaohsiung, who was a little powerful eunuch in Dongchang Jinyiwei, adopted his son in the family, inherited the incense for himself, and extended his heirs, Gao Qiqian was no exception, and adopted his nephew Kaohsiung as a righteous son since he was a child.

Gao Qiqian, who was lying on the couch, slightly teased his eyelids, and asked slowly, "Well, Xiong, what have you been busy with lately?" ”

"Dad, the child has always been in the house behind closed doors, studying diligently!" Kaohsiung said with a smile.

"Humph! Shut down and study diligently? You've learned everything about women, right? Gao Qiqian immediately lowered his face and said with a little anger.

"Hey, hey! Is the child also for the old Gao family to inherit the family and extend the heirs? ”

"Bastard thing! Why didn't I see you hug me a big grandson, have you used your strength on dogs for so many years? Gao Qiqian scolded angrily.

"Dad, the child will go back to work overtime now, and I promise to let you hold your grandson next year!" Kaohsiung wants to slip away.

Seeing this, Gao Qiqian scolded angrily: "Stop! Let me ask you, what's going on with the Pingyao Village Coal Mine? ”

"Ahh What coal mines? Kaohsiung asked pretending to be surprised.

"Humph! I warn you that you must not set foot in the mining industry in the future, and I will help you with your subordinates in the Pingyao Village Coal Mine; Also, your 'Xikelai' inn is your point of contact for mineral merchants, right? Blow them all away tomorrow! "Gao Qiqian hated the reprimand of Kaohsiung.

When Kaohsiung heard this, he was suddenly shocked! His eyes rolled, and he hurriedly smiled: "Dad, it was Duan Hai who reported to you, right?" ”

Gao Qi stared at Kaohsiung and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Don't think that I don't know what you do, if there is a wind and grass in this Datong Mansion, I can't escape my eyes, when will anyone marry a daughter-in-law and give birth to a few babies, I know clearly! ”

Kaohsiung's neck shrank, answered in a low voice, and hurriedly slipped away!

After returning to the courtyard angrily, Kaohsiung immediately ordered someone to call Duan Hai, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, pointed at his face and scolded: "Okay, you Duan Hai, do you think that now that you are a thousand households, your wings are stiff, right?" ”

Duan Haizhan bowed down tremblingly and replied: "Young Master, Duan Hai's ability to have today is all due to your kind words in front of the pacification envoy, Duan Hai will remember it in his heart in this life, and he will never dare to forget it!" ”

"You know what you do?" Kaohsiung said angrily: "You tell me, what's going on with the coal mine in Pingyao Village?" ”

"Young Master, this is what the Lord means to pacify the adult, and it is also for the sake of the young master!" Duan Hai explained.

"Fart! For my good? You killed them all for my own good? Why didn't I see it? ”

Duan Hai hesitated for a moment and said: "Young Master, I can't hide it, the Pingyao Village Coal Mine has been forcibly confiscated by Lu Xiangsheng of the General's Mansion, I heard that it involves the smuggling of prohibited strategic materials with the Jin Army outside the Guan, and the pacification envoy is worried that it will implicate you, Young Master, so he ordered me to exterminate them!" ”

When Kaohsiung heard this, he was taken aback! I gritted my teeth with hatred, a trace of fierceness flashed in my eyes, and I scolded in my heart: Good for you, Lu Xiangsheng, you always trouble Young Master Ben and cut off my financial route!

His eyes pressed to Duan Hai, and he said sharply: "You want to find a way to promote Lu Xiang to Young Master Ben!" ”

When Duan Hai heard this, he was so frightened that he shuddered, and hurriedly said, "Young master, don't!" Lu Xiangsheng's General Mansion is heavily guarded, not to mention me, even if I dispatch Datong Mansion to pacify all the Jinyi Guard forces, I may not be able to kill Lu Xiangsheng; Even if it can be successful, the court will inevitably investigate it afterwards, and it will be difficult for adults to protect themselves when the time comes! ”

"Humph! Is there no way to put him to death? Kaohsiung gritted his teeth.

"There's really no way to do this at the moment!" Duan Hai wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and complained bitterly in his heart, thinking that Kaohsiung was a little bolder, what kind of place is the General's Mansion? Lu Xiangsheng's 50,000 'Tianxiong Army' has been fighting all year round, and that is not a warrior who is one against three, but a brocade-clothed guard who can move casually?

Gao Xiong was extremely depressed in his heart, thought for a long time, wrote down a text message and put it on letterhead, handed it to Duan Hai and said: "You send this letter to the Xikelai Inn as soon as possible, and hand it over to the innkeeper Gao Fu!" ”

Duan Hai took the letterhead, hesitated, and persuaded: "Young master, don't take any more risks, this is a big deal to lose your head!" ”

"I know, this is the last time, and then you can bring someone to escort Gao Fu them!" Kaohsiung cold color road.

"Okay!" Duan Hai nodded helplessly and turned to leave.

Xikelai Inn, Dodd is in a secret affair with Forhey, just got a notice from the innkeeper that the situation has changed, tonight the third watch will trade half of the materials in advance, so that they can prepare for the transaction in advance.

Dodd thought about it and said: "It seems that the situation is not optimistic, for the sake of safety, I will set off first with half of the supplies tonight, and you wait here to receive the other half of the supplies, and then follow!" ”

Forhai nodded and said, "Without further ado, I'll arrange for manpower now!" ”

"Hmmm! I'm waiting for you at the Yellow River Wharf! Dodd got up, and the two left the inn and went their separate ways.

In a room of the inn, Long Yi is reporting to King Xin in 1510, Long Yi has been tiptoeing and sneaking in the past few days, quietly monitoring the two of Duode, their every move, every word and deed is under Long Yi's surveillance.

After Long Yi finished speaking, King Xin got up and paced back and forth, thought for a long time and said: "Don't startle the snake first, let go of Dode, and wait for the second transaction, notify Lu Xiangsheng of the General's Mansion and arrest Fuerhai and his traders on the spot!" ”

The next morning, King Xin led a few members of the Dragon Soul Group to leave Datong Mansion and go to the mine in Pingyao Village; The current Pingyao Village Coal Mine is heavily guarded, with five steps and one post, three steps and one sentry;

After waiting for the soldiers to pass through, Lu Xiangsheng came to the mountain pass and saw that King Xin had arrived, and he was immediately overjoyed, took King Xin into the mine, and recounted the story in detail.

After taking over the mine, Lu Xiangsheng was spoiled by so much oil and coal, but the sad thing is that mining coal and refining oil requires craftsmen, and he can't always guard Baoshan and look at the 'mountain' and sigh;

Therefore, he asked someone to find the head of Pingyao Village and explain the meaning, the general's mansion is responsible for building the facilities and protection of the mining area, providing all the funds required for mining, as well as the sale and use of minerals, and paying the villagers according to the amount of mining every month.

When the village chief heard this, of course he couldn't ask for it, first of all, there was no general's mansion, and at the moment they were still locked up in the Liumen prison, and secondly, they could continue to mine mines to make a living, and the general's mansion would provide protection and funds, so the two sides hit it off.

After listening to Lu Xiangsheng's report, King Xin was very satisfied, and then, accompanied by Lu Xiangsheng, briefly took a look at the situation in the mining area and the villagers of Pingyao Village.

"Well, these villagers in Pingyao Village have a lot of experience in mining mines, and they are responsible for mining, which not only solves their livelihood problems, but also fills the problem of miners," Shinwang nodded.

Si Si looked up at the direction of the mine, and then said to Lu Xiangsheng: "You choose a few honest and reliable villagers from Pingyao Village, and send them to the capital Wang Gong Factory to study, here is rich in coal saltpeter resources, very suitable for building an arsenal, Datong Mansion is an important town on the nine sides, and it is not possible to support it without enough strategic reserves!" ”

When Lu Xiangsheng heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Your Highness, I have already understood, the ancestors of the villagers of Pingyao Village used to work for the Ministry of Industry, and most of the villagers can smelt and calcinate the process. ”

"Hmmm! Your 'Tianxiong Army' mainly fights with light cavalry, and your soldiers are fast and fast, which is your advantage, but once you encounter melee combat with the Mongolian iron cavalry, your advantage becomes a disadvantage, and you must find a way to solve the disadvantage of the 'Tianxiong Army' in close combat! King Shin said earnestly.

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help nodding when he heard this, his eyes showed a hint of solemnity, and King Xin smiled when he saw this and said:

"I have a letter, you send someone to the Wang Gong factory in the capital to find Xue Fengxiang Ding Sancang, send them coal saltpeter and iron ore, and receive a thousand new flintlock pistols and twenty cannons from the Wang Gong factory. projectiles, and then equip each 'Tianxiong Army' with a 'Zhuge Repeater', if it is against the Mongolian iron cavalry in the future, it can kill them by surprise! ”

Now Wang Gong factory has a lot of funds, the speed of production and research and development is increasing day by day, and the equipment of the 'Tianxiong Army' is more than enough, if it can get the supply of mineral resources in Datong Province, a large number of new flintlock pistols and cannon grenades. Play. Artillery, equipping the army is just around the corner.

Lu Xiangsheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and then said melancholy: "Your Highness! There is no shortage of mineral resources in our Datong Prefecture, but at present, the Pingyao Village Coal Mine has just been obtained, and it is necessary to sell the coal to realize silver and purchase iron ore. ”

"You don't need to worry about this, the problem of coal sales, you can find Li Changcai, the Department of Commerce of the Ministry of Households, in addition, the war in Liaodong is tight, you allocate a part of the oil to support the Yuan Chonghuan Department in Liaodong to deal with the war of the Jin Army, as for the silver and iron ore!" King Xin smiled and said, "There will be tonight!" ”

"Will there be one tonight?" Lu Xiangsheng was puzzled!

"I didn't say I was going to take you to see a good show, before this evening, you quietly led someone to ambush in the poplar forest ten miles away from the south gate, and you will know when the time comes!" King Shin smiled mysteriously.

Subsequently, after arranging the plan in detail with Lu Xiangsheng, King Xin left the Pingyao Village Coal Mine and returned to Datong Mansion.
