"Cheng Er was stunned, you are still basking in the sun at the base of the city wall, there is a lot of work today, why don't you try it?"

"Uncle Wang, why can I bask in the sun here? You see that you are as tired as dogs, and you are just barely fed, what are you trying to do? ”

Uncle Wang's weather-beaten face was covered with deep wrinkles, his two small eyes were slightly cloudy, his hands were the size of a small fan, each finger was thick as if it could not be bent, and his skin was dark and wrinkled, like the bark of an old tree in the wind and sun.

Hearing that Cheng Er from the same village was stunned and reluctant to go, Uncle Wang still couldn't help but say: "Ximen needs labor, the government is constantly recruiting, today the team of transporting coal has expanded again, and the team of digging coal has been fully registered and will not be accepted. ”

"What, only five catties of grain were chased around like a dog, what does this mean, a few years ago, where was the labor outside the gate not higher than this? I don't go, anyway, there is a porridge shed, I can't starve to death, I'd rather bask in the sun than be chased around"

After speaking, Cheng Er blew his nose in a daze, casually threw a string of snot onto the city wall, rubbed it on the city bricks, and then put his hand back into his sleeve.

Uncle Wang was obviously kind-hearted, and he persuaded again: "Second stunned, the blacksmith shop in the north of the city, the potter said yesterday that he wanted to expand the manpower, if you don't want to try it, you can live a lifetime by learning a craft, I am already old, my brain is not enough, and my hands and feet are not good, you are still young, you can try it." ”

"Uncle Wang, you hurry up and get busy, you block me from basking in the sun, just have a porridge shed, I don't care about the rest."

Looking at Cheng Er, who was stunned by the lack of oil and salt, Uncle Wang looked helpless, and the scale of the porridge shed in his heart was getting smaller and smaller, and he might have to cancel it in a few days. Besides, the porridge can be used as a mirror, how can drinking a bowl of this porridge be comfortable to eat dry rice. Uncle Wang didn't say anything, shook his head and continued to walk towards the construction site.

Yang Lian pinched the urgent letter in the capital and smiled bitterly, which turtle grandson had the idea to take Senior Sister Shen Jia as the emperor's side concubine, did he want to make the harem a piece?

Wen Qing's character is already known to everyone, even Shen Jia is shy away, let alone others. This girl has a perverse personality, not as gentle and graceful as a woman in the Central Plains, and if she can find her in-laws in the future, she will burn high incense. It's infuriating that someone still wants to introduce her to the emperor, is this because she doesn't have enough brains, or is she deliberately looking for death?

Yang Lian sighed, handed the urgent item in his hand to Xiong Tingbi, and then picked up the teacup and bowed his head silently.

Xiong Tingbi just glanced at it, and immediately blew his beard and glared and shouted: "Nonsense, this is just nonsense, this matter must not be, this woman punched the old man so far that he still has palpitations, if he is included in the harem, this harem will not want chickens and dogs to jump, this matter must not be." ”

Seeing Xiong Tingbi's resolute opposition, Yang Lian asked, "Then how to restore the capital?" ”

"Let's put it bluntly, the old man's face doesn't matter, as long as the old man is beaten, the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the DPRK and the Central Committee will definitely not be able to pass, and I believe that the emperor can only give up this thought."

"Okay, then listen to Brother Feibai."

"Where did Shen Jia go today? Why don't we tell him about this? ”

"I heard that the farmland outside the city has been sown, and now he is cleaning up the labor again, preparing to expand the scale of quarrying, digging clay and firing 'cement', as for the matter of the concubine, forget it, this kid doesn't know etiquette at all, let alone his junior sister, we just hide it in our hearts."

However, he said that after Shen Jia went home yesterday, he discussed it with Wen Qing carefully, and decided to send Qu Xiaojia to Shenyang with his personal army to see Wu Shihan. As long as Wu Shihan sees this, plus the letter, I believe she will understand the meaning.

For safety, Shen Jia borrowed two hundred cavalry from He Shixian to escort Qu Xiaojia over. This time, Qu Xiaojia was needed to bring the explosion-proof clothing at home and the box from Shenyang. The contents of this box were too sensitive, so Shen Jia instructed Qu Xiaojia not to let others open it. It's still the old way, let's just say that it is the ashes and relics of Teacher Shen Jia.

Early in the morning, Qu Xiaojia set off for Shenyang, and at the same time brought a letter to Chen Fuke. Shen Jia considered that Fushun has no civil officials for the time being, and Chen Fuke is about to leave his post, so why not simply transfer to Fushun.

Since the last detention incident, Shen Jia has thoroughly seen through the civil and military system of this era, to put it bluntly, no matter how high the position of the military attache is, as long as the civil official reveals a little dissatisfaction, the military attache can only wag his tail like a dog and beg for mercy, and the future Mao Wenlong is a living lesson.

In such an environment, instead of sitting in a stalemate, it is better to take the initiative to invite Chen Fuke to come over and participate in Fushun. Although Chen Fuke is not in every way, he never hinders military affairs, which is what Shen Jia really likes. If you change to a bombastic Shangguan who doesn't know how to command blindly, it can only be worse than worse for Fushun, a dangerous place.

As for whether Chen Fuke can be brought to Fushun, this is not Shen Jia's concern, Chen Fuke has been an official for many years, and there must always be some way.

This morning, Shen Jia decided to continue to go out of the city to find the surrounding pyrite, especially the pyrite with convenient transportation and extraction value.

Hearing that Shen Jia was going out, Wen Qing was the first to come out and muttered that she wanted to go, how dare Shen Jia agree. Although the situation outside the city has been much better recently than a few days ago, most of the places for prospecting are barren mountains and mountains, and fierce beasts, snakes and insects often haunt the left and right. Even though Wen Qing has a powerful pink fist, Shen Jia still classifies her as a person like the eldest lady, and this kind of delicate eldest lady still stays at home to skip rope.

No matter what Wen Qing said, Shen Jia just shook his head, and Wen Qing sat down angrily and scolded Shen Jia for forgetting his senses.

"Why can't I go when Sister Xiaoyi can go?"

Shen Jia said helplessly: "You think I want Xiao Yi to go, she insisted on going, she said that she can be a guide, and she is a hunter, maybe she can help in the wild." ”

said warmly: "Then I can do it, let Sister Xiaoyi protect me by the way?" Besides, you have 200 soldiers, what are you afraid of, you are so cowardly as a mouse? ”

"They? Maybe they will run faster than me when the time comes, and I will pull them up at most to be strong and strong, just moving stones, do you want to move stones, big sister? ”

Wen Qing looked disdainful, and snorted: "You always have an excuse not to let me go out, if it goes on like this, I will suffocate in the house for the rest of my life." ”

"If you're a man, then you can go out and hang out freely, maybe you can go to the Qinglou too, the wind and snow, the girl is a girl, don't be funny, haha!"

Wen Qing listened halfway, seemed to remember something, and stayed for a long time without saying a word.

Shen Jia saw that Wen Qing was also pitiful, and hurriedly comforted: "Senior sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Wen Qing came back to her senses at this time, and said without words: "It's nothing, I just want to stay alone, you go out and get busy first." ”

Shen Jia felt a little weird, Wen Qing's attitude changed too quickly, making him unpredictable for a while, so Shen Jia tried to say: "Either I will ask the bear child to come and accompany you, or tomorrow I will accompany you to the Guanyin Temple in Gaoer Mountain, it is really not good to be bored at home every day." ”

"Let's talk about it tomorrow, just don't prevaricate when the time comes."

Out of Wen Qing's house, Shen Jia came to Qu Xiaoyi's west wing again. Shen Jia was used to being casual at home, and he was silent when he entered the door, and he wanted to scare Qu Xiaoyi, but he didn't expect Qu Xiaoyi to change clothes.

"Ah, Shen Jia, turn around quickly!"

Qu Xiaoyi's upper body was only left with a close-fitting coat, the exquisite curve set off the small waist, coupled with the towering chest, which was firmly imprinted in Shen Jia's heart at once. Shen Jiaxin said in his heart, you might as well be dressed by the little girls on the street in the 21st century, at least those little girls will show half of their career lines for people to see, and Qu Xiaoyi only showed an outline.

Dissatisfied to dissatisfied, Shen Jia still listened to Qu Xiaoyi's advice and turned his back, women in this era are thin-skinned, and they are easy to be spurned for playing too much.

Listening to Qu Xiaoyi's understanding that Suo Suo was dressing, Shen Jia asked impatiently.

"Okay, okay, you can wait a minute, and it will be right away."

Shen Jia felt that it was almost over, and turned his head suddenly, but saw that Qu Xiaoyi had changed into her Orion outfit again, her pretty face was flushed, and she was buttoning the button on her left placket.

"I'll help you tie the buttons, I like that."

With that, Shen Jia walked quickly to Qu Xiaoyi's side.

Qu Xiaoyi giggled and refused, but Shen Jia grabbed her tender fingers, Qu Xiaoyi's face was as red as a ripe apple, so she had to be at the mercy of Shen Jia.

These cloth buttons obviously have a deep hatred with Shen Jia, last time Shen Jia planted a heel for this, and this time Shen Jia repeated the same mistake. After deducting it for a few minutes, the cloth button was always reluctant to go in, and Shen Jia's face was red and embarrassed.

Qu Xiaoyi also discovered Shen Jia's embarrassment and said: "You are a blessed one, how can my little woman let you serve as a master, or let me come." ”

With that, Qu Xiaoyi blushed and put his hand on the back of Shen Jia's hand.

The back of Qu Xiaoyi's hand is extremely tender, but her palms are full of calluses because of perennial hunting. At this time, Qu Xiaoyi's hands rubbed against the back of Shen Jia's hand, and Shen Jia's whole body was numb as if he had been electrified. Shen Jia grabbed Qu Xiaoyi's palm with his backhand and asked, "How did you come over all these years?" There are so many calluses. ”

"It's okay, I'm with my brother, hunting in winter and summer, farming in spring, harvesting in autumn, and the people in the village usually take care of me, if I hadn't met you, I think I'd have lived my life like this."

"So you don't want to follow me?"

Qu Xiaoyi blushed, waited for a while, and suddenly mustered up the courage to ask: "I'll just ask, do you like me more or do you like Miss Wu in Shenyang more?" ”

Shen Jia hurriedly put his head away, put Qu Xiaoyi's palm on his face and said, "You guys are like the palms of my hands in my heart, I like them all." ”

"Then who is the palm of the hand and who is the back of the hand?"

Ah, Shen Jia looked constipated, and hurriedly ran out in a panic, shouting as he ran: "I'm waiting for you outside the gate, hurry up, don't let the bodyguards wait for a long time, they are the uncle." ”

Soon a group of people rode to the south bank of the Hunhe River, where in addition to coal mines, there was also a large amount of pyrite. The sulfur content of pyrite is too high, and it is difficult to use it to make iron in ancient times, but it is more sulfur extracted.

About ten miles out of the city, I found a light brass-colored stone with a bright metallic luster in front of a mountain. Shen Jia dismounted, and with the help of his bodyguards, he climbed halfway up the mountain, knocked out the exposed reddish-brown oxidized part, and found that it was indeed light yellow pyrite.

In order to further confirm, Shen Jia then repeatedly struck with a hammer, trying to smash the stone. Maybe it's because of the lack of activity recently, or maybe it's because the wooden hammer is not strong enough, and it doesn't result after smashing it twice.

Shen Jia squinted at Gan Liang, Gan Liang understood, picked up the hammer and slammed it, and the stones flew everywhere, some even smashed on Shen Jia's face.

"Awesome, Brother Gan, it's a waste that you don't have to use this method in the quarry, why don't I recommend it for you?"

Gan Liang twitched his face and turned around and didn't answer.

Wei Liangyu had already gathered the gravel on the side, and Shen Jia carefully compared the gravel according to the characteristics of pyrite in his memory. Pyrite is relatively brittle, easy to break when beaten, the crushing surface is uneven, and the exposed reddish-brown oxide layer indicates that it is iron.

Compared with the most confusing chalcopyrite, chalcopyrite is easy to appear green after oxidation, and the copper ore in Fushun is mainly distributed in Hongtou Mountain, east of Nanzamu Town, which is already the territory of the Tartars, so based on the above objective factors, Shen Jia judged that this is pyrite.

Because of the insufficient conditions, it was difficult for Shen Jia to accurately judge the sulfur content of the ore, so he decided to walk around the nearby mountains, take samples and mark them according to the distribution of the near and far, and bring them back to the test to test the sulfur content in batches.

Shen Jia left five people here to collect samples, and the rest continued to advance towards the mountains.
