Sister-in-law Gu is just a messenger at Sun Li's request, Chao Gai warmly entertained the couple, the words were brought, and it was made clear, Gu Sister-in-law and Sun Xin lived in the gold mine for a night, and the next morning, Sister-in-law Gu came to Chao Gai to say goodbye.

Sister-in-law Gu said: "The matter has been brought, and we are going back." ”

"This mine is dusty everywhere, and I will stay soon, and when the two of them go to Yuncheng one day, I will take you two to see Shuibo Liangshan." Chao Gai said.

After nothing to say all the way, Gu Sister-in-law and Sun Xin returned to Dengzhou and told Sun Li that they had met Chao Gai, and Chao Gai said that he wanted to negotiate and let Lu Tiannan go over to talk in person.

Sun Li told Lu Tiannan again, and Lu Tiannan organized a negotiation team of more than ten people to rush to the gold mine. There are still more than ten miles away from the gold mine, Lu Tiannan's psychology is up and down, not afraid, but Lu Tiannan is also a hegemon, not so timid, but feeling gratifying, a big gold mine like Jinshan and Yinshan no longer belongs to him, and he has mixed feelings, blame himself for thinking that he has some power in his hands for so many years, and he began to be arrogant.

After walking for a while, there were still three or four miles away from the gold mine, the horn roared in front, and a hundred horsemen rushed over, and the leader of the team was a white horse and silver spear, and the hundred horsemen behind him were also majestic, carrying a mace in his hand and a bow and arrow on his back.

"It's Lu Tiannan who came, the shopkeeper of Lu Da, and Luo Yun was ordered to greet the shopkeeper Lu?" Luo Yundao.

Lu Tiannan looked at it, where is this greeting, it is clearly a guard, he has a group of more than ten horsemen, and the other party has more than 100 cavalry.

Lu Tiannan said: "Exactly, it's hard work." ”

Luo Yun took Lu Tiannan and the others to walk slowly and slowly came to the gold mine. On the wide area, Jiao Ting was leading the soldiers to train, and the scale of the small 3,000 people was also shouting and killing.

Chao Gai did not come forward in this negotiation, and Lu Tiannan directly met Zhu Wu and Luan Tingyu. Lu Tiannan also wanted to meet Chao Gai, so Zhu Wu refused, in a word, this matter is not qualified enough for Chao Tuan to come forward, let's just talk.

The negotiations lasted for three days, and Zhu Wu and Luan Tingyu were both generous people, and the two sides shook hands and made peace, and they were no longer enemies. The Zhaoyuan Gold Mine belongs to Jeju Tuanlian Mining and has no connection with the Lu family. Since the war was provoked by the Lu family, an additional 50,000 Guan Cai war indemnity was compensated.

Lu Tiannan agreed without thinking about it, this gold mine worth millions of guan was lost, and he still cared about the compensation of 50,000 yuan, mainly because the Lu family had no strength to fight, and he was just a developer of the mine.

The two parties signed an agreement on the transfer of the mine, and since then the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine has become an industry under the name of Jeju Tuanlian.

Lu Tiannan led the team away in despair, although he lost a big gold mine, but he saved the Lu family, and if he continued to fight, the Lu family would be completely finished.

The matter came to an end, the 3,000 escorts were no longer recruits after the baptism of several battles, the lightly wounded returned one after another, and more than 100 forecasters were replenished, and the escort team was still 3,000 people.

Luan Tingyu said: "What a good soldier, the combat power of more than 3,000 people is considerable, it would be great if you stayed." ”

Next to him, Yang Zhi said: "The imperial court is very suspicious of the place, if you stay for a long time, someone will definitely make a fuss about this." ”

Chao Gai naturally couldn't stay in the gold mine for a long time, and immediately discussed with Zhu Wuyi, and decided to order Luan Tingyu, Xiang Zhong, and Xu Yue to lead their troops to guard the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine, considering that the 300 cavalry manpower was a little thin, Chao Gai ordered Luan Tingyu to recruit 200 infantry reserves from the 3,000 miners.

Chao Gai, Zhu Wu, Yang Zhi, Luo Yun and others led more than 200 cavalry teams back to Yuncheng, and Wu Yong came to greet him and said, "Congratulations to my brother on returning with a great victory." ”

Chao Gai said: "It's all soldiers who exchanged their lives for it, how is the situation at home recently." ”

Wu Yong said: "The wheat harvest is over, now it is summer planting, the people are busy sowing Tianwang rice and sorghum, Cheng Zhifu wrote a few days ago that he wanted to repair water conservancy, saying that he wanted to invite you to go over to discuss." ”

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "This Lord Cheng is really anxious, now it's summer, and the rainy season will come in about a month, and I'm afraid it's too late to repair water conservancy now." ”

"The prefect of Cheng's mansion is like a stable one, and his government has talents, so it should be feasible. Rest first today, and Wu and I will go out for a walk tomorrow. Chao Gai said.

On the second day, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Pang Wanchun ordered a hundred soldiers, and took a fast centipede boat to Jeju City to visit Governor Lin.

Lin Dadao: "The fruits promoted three years ago have begun to bear fruit, but the sales are very problematic, and it is not easy for the people to sell good things, and they can't sell much if they come to the city to walk the streets and alleys." ”

"When the government-run nursery promoted seedlings, it considered this problem, mainly to pepper, chestnut, walnut, jujube, pear and other shelf-stable fruits, and the commercial bank purchased it for processing and export. Fruits such as cherries, peaches, apricots and other things are rarely promoted, and ordinary people only grow a little in front of the house and behind the house, and there is not much left except for their own food. There may be a few nurseries that boast of the high value of fruits in order to sell seedlings, and the people blindly follow the trend of planting. Chao Gai explained.

After all, Lin is responsible for government affairs, and it is his responsibility if there is a problem with people's livelihood, Lin Dadao: "Grain is the mainstay, fruits can only be back, I plan to formulate a local regulation, the field can only grow grain, cotton crops, as for fruits, dried fruit crops can only be planted in the field, in front of the house, or in the barren mountains and wasteland." ”

Several people discussed it and decided to focus on publicity and guidance, standardize the business behavior of nurseries, strictly prohibit any false and exaggerated publicity, and once found to be heavily fined, they are not allowed to engage in the nursery industry for life. However, there is no need to make a hard and fast rule on whether the common people can grow this thing in the field, although Jeju is still dominated by a small-scale peasant economy, but there has been a germination of a market economy, such as cherries, the price is high this year, many people are willing to plant cherry trees, but after a few years the cherries are not valuable, the common people will cut down the number of cherries and plant other trees or grains.

Chao Gai said: "Our people in Jeju are rich and live a stable life, but it will be dangerous to forget the war, and the Liao State is eyeing it, and I am afraid that it will not be long before it will attack Hebei, so we must prepare early." ”

Lin Dadao: "I am a layman in the military, and I want to strengthen the city wall and build other city defense facilities, as long as I don't overstep the official regulations, Chao Tuan Lian will do it." Recently, I was planning to do a public health project to build public toilets in Jeju City and its four county towns, and a few days ago I went out on a patrol and found that many people could not find toilets to solve at the base of the wall, which is really unsightly. ”

Chao Gai said: "Okay, public health is very important, and you need manpower Lord Lin to speak." ”

Lord Lin smiled: "No, no. The Jeju government treasury is still very full, and there is enough money, food, and manpower. ”
