'Poof! Long Yi threw the middle-aged man in front of King Xin's horse, at this moment, the big man was already frightened, pouting his ass and just wanted to get up from the ground, Long Yi stepped forward and kicked on his leg again, "Poof! Kick him to his knees.

"Where are you from?" King Xin shouted coldly.

"Young man spare his life! The villain is the head of Pingyao Village, but he is not a rogue, those people in the mountains are robbers! The middle-aged man argued!

King Xin asked suspiciously: "Even if you are not a bandit, why are you attacking the cottage in broad daylight?"

"Daxia doesn't know that this mine was originally from our village, and they forcibly occupied it!" The village chief cried.

"Mines?" King Xin was stunned when he heard this!

"Yes, this mine originally belonged to the industry of our village, a few days ago, a group of strongmen came out of nowhere, injured more than a dozen of our villagers, and forcibly occupied the mine in our village.

Originally, I thought that these people were mob outcasts, but it seemed that they had misunderstood, so King Xin jumped off his horse, helped the village chief up, and said, "If that's the case, why don't you report to the official?"

"If you report it, why don't you report it? However, the government asked us to take out the mining license, and the older generations of our village make a living from the mine. The village chief said aggrievedly!

According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, private mining does require a mining license, so King Xin said: "According to the law, you must have a mining license, and it is illegal for you to mine privately without the permission of the government!"

When the village chief heard this, he cried and complained: "This mine is the livelihood of our whole village, if there is no mine, how will our hundreds of people live?" At this time, some bold villagers gathered around one after another.

Looking at these ragged villagers, King Xin said in a harmonious voice: "In this way, I will go and talk to the people inside!" ”

When the village chief and the villagers heard this, they were grateful!

Walking to the mountain gate, King Shin raised his eyes and looked at the guards on the cliff and shouted, "Let your person in charge come out, I have something to say!" ”

The brocade-clothed man on the cliff saw someone arresting the village chief before, thinking that it was his own reinforcements coming, and at this time, seeing King Xin shouting, he hurriedly leaned out and asked, "Are you the reinforcements sent by the young master?" ”

King Xin shook his head when he heard this!

Dahan asked again in confusion, "Are you a friend of the young master?" ”

King Xin shook his head again!

The big man was puzzled and asked, "Then who are?" ”

"We were just passing by here, thinking it was a gangster!" King Xin continued: "I don't know who your young master is? ”

When the big man heard this, his face suddenly turned pale, and he said angrily: "Oh! Since it's a passerby, don't meddle with it! The official mission of the government will soon arrive, and they will definitely take down all these rioters and ask them for their crimes. ”

King Xin frowned, it seems that these people are prepared, at this moment, the official road under the mountain sounded the sound of horses' hooves, from far and near, a group of about 100 people to catch fast, quickly drive to the bottom of the mountain, the first head catcher is about thirty years old, holding a big knife, the crotch of the war horse is majestic; Came to the front of everyone to restrain the war horse, glanced at the villagers, waved the big knife in his hand, and shouted: "Fence up!" ”

The catch quickly dispersed, the bow was wound out of the sheath, and one by one they were eyeing each other, surrounding King Shin and others and a group of villagers.

These villagers had never seen such a battle before, and they were immediately frightened, and they threw their 'weapons' on the ground and shrank together;

Long Yi led the dragon soul team to protect King Shin behind him, and they all showed a fierce light and were ready to attack.

The head catcher rode his horse to the king of letters, looked at everyone coldly, and shouted: "What crime should you be guilty of gathering a crowd to make trouble?" ”

King Xin was just about to speak, but Xu Xiake hurriedly smiled and said, "This lord, we are just passing by here!" ”

"Oh!" When the head catcher heard this, he looked at the clothes of the people, and they really didn't look like the rebels, so he asked suspiciously: "Since you are passing by, why are you mixed with the rebels?" ”

"At first, we thought it was a rebellion, so we came to check on it, and we didn't want these villagers to fight with others, so we came to persuade peace, since this matter has the government come forward, it will be handled by adults!" Xu Xiake explained.

"Humph!" The head catcher snorted coldly: "Private fight? The laws of the Ming Dynasty strictly prohibit private fights, and private fights are illegal! Come on, take down all these chaotic people, and send them to Datong Mansion to ask for guilt! ”

'Hula! 'Catch up quickly, swarm together, take down all the villagers who are huddled together and shivering, and tie them with ropes.

Seeing this, King Xin wanted to stop him again, but Xu Xiake hurriedly stopped him and whispered: "Don't worry! ”

The head catcher looked at King Xin and the others, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, so he ignored everyone and escorted a group of villagers to the mountain.

After the arrest was about to leave, Xu Xiake said: "Your Highness, it is not appropriate to have a dispute with them at this time, and do not reveal your identity unless you have to!" ”

King Xin nodded when he heard this, after all, this private visit to the micro-service, don't make extraneous branches; Turning to look in the direction of the mountain pass mine, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "These villagers still have to be saved!" ”

At this time, the mountain pass guards saw that the villagers were about to be arrested, and they had already extinguished the fire in the mountain pass and removed the barricades; The brocade-clothed man from before stepped forward to King Xin and the others, looked everyone up and down, and then asked, "Who are you?" ”

King Xin smiled and said: "We are passing merchants, I heard that Datong Mansion is rich in minerals, and we came to inspect it this time!" ”

Dahan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he smiled: "Oh! I don't know what minerals you need? ”

"What? Could it be that Brother Tai has a way? King Shin asked with a smile.

"Huh! Coincidentally, we specialize in mineral development, and to tell you the truth, this is where our owner's mine is located! The big man pointed behind him and said.

"Really?" King Shin pretended to be overjoyed and said, "I don't know what minerals are produced here?" ”

"Coal!" Dahan raised his head and said: "Our owner also has saltpeter mines and iron mines, hehe, as long as the price is right, you can't find a second one in Datong Mansion." ”

"Really? That's great! As long as the grade of the mine is good and the price is negotiable, please also ask Brother Tai to introduce you! King Shin smiled with a smile.

"Well said, well said! Ha ha! "Dahan's joy is beyond words, if he can win the big customers in front of him, it will be a great achievement, and the future is bright.

"So let's go on a field trip?" King Xin was surprised inexplicably and asked.

"Yes! Come in with me and see! After that, the big man led the way and led everyone into the mountain pass; About 100 meters into the mountain pass, you will come to a basin surrounded by mountains, surrounded by bare mountains.

The big man pointed to the northwest corner, where there was a mountain of coal gangue; Then, leading everyone to a work shed, a pungent smell of fire oil suddenly rushed to the face.

"This is kerosene drawn from the coal seam, and it's a good thing!" Dahan said proudly.

"Oh! Kerosene? King Shin pretended to be excited and asked, "I don't know what the output is?" ”

"At present, there is a shortage of individuals, with an average daily output of about one ton, and if it is fully exploited, it can reach five tons per day!" Seeing the joy of King Xin, the Great Han proudly boasted: "According to the survey, the veins here are enough to be mined for fifty years!" ”

There is a liquid like oil in the red lignite coal mine and oil shale rock formation, which is generally used for lighting, so it is named kerosene; It is usually used to defend cities in war, and it is condescending to dump fire oil, which can kill and injure a large number of enemies, delay the enemy's attack, and shock the enemy's soul.

King Xin was also shocked when he heard this! So he smiled and asked: "Everything is a good thing, but we are all doing regular trading, but I don't know if the trading procedures are legal?" ”

"Humph!" Dahan sneered and said: "You can rest assured, others in Datong Mansion dare not say that our owner's mine procedures and approvals are readily available, and in Datong Mansion, as long as you report the name of our owner, no one dares to check!" ”

"Oh! Is it? King Xin wondered.

"Of course! So when you do business with us, as long as you have sufficient funds, we will supply as much as you want! ”

"Good! Readily! King Xin was overjoyed, and bowed his hand to the big man and said: "Please also ask Brother Tai to introduce you!" ”

"No problem! Something went wrong here today, so let's go to the Xikelai Inn in Datong Mansion first, and wait for me to inform! ”

"Good! In this case, we are waiting for the good news of Brother Tai at the Xikelai Inn! King Xin thanked him, led everyone to leave the mining area, got on his horse and went straight to Datong Mansion.

Datong Road was changed to Datong Mansion in the second year of Emperor Taizu, and was under the jurisdiction of Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division, and Datong Prefecture governed Hunyuan Prefecture, Yingzhou, Shuozhou and Wei Prefecture, as well as Datong, Huairen, Mayi, Shanyin, Guangling, Lingqiu and Guangchang seven counties and counties.
