"Are you the one who changed it?"

In the lobby of the Jinyi Wei Nanchang Thousand Households, Li Longduan, the mine supervisor, sat behind the public case, looked at Su Hao kneeling below with a smile, and asked.

"The student is Su Hao." Su Hao replied honestly, there is no way, this is an era of strict hierarchy, and it is not that anyone can be exempt from vulgarity as soon as he releases his anger.

After receiving Li Long's reply that he agreed to prospect for minerals, Han Wen arranged for Su Hao to lead people to the Tonggushi area in the mountainous area of northwest Jiangxi to find the gold mine predicted by Su Hao. Su Hao took more than a dozen soldiers from the survey camp, as well as two Jinyi guards sent by Li Long from Nanchang, and two embroidery girls trained by Han Qian, a group of nearly twenty people, starting from Fengcheng, going straight to the west, and entering the mountains in the northern section of the Luoxiao Mountains.

Su Hao had the memory of several gold mines in Tonggu in his previous life, but in order to hide people's eyes, he still pretended to use a compass to shine for a long time before leading the team to the location of the gold mine. The two brocade guards sent by Li Long had the experience of guarding other gold mines, and they knew a little about gold mines. After they inspected the rock samples on the spot, they were overjoyed, and immediately returned to Nanchang with Su Hao to report to Li Long.

Li Long has already heard of Su Hao, after all, the matter of drought-fighting and drilling wells in Fengcheng County, and the later mining of Yuanli gold ore in Changwu are not trivial matters, and Li Long also knew that there is a young geomaster in Fengcheng County who has learned the art of Xiyi surveying. This time, Su Hao went around Tonggu Stone Mountain, and found a new gold mine with reserves more than 10 times larger than the Yuanli gold mine.

"Excuse me, get up quickly, our family is just a minister, and I can't afford your big gift." Li Long said in a fake manner, and then instructed the little eunuch on the side: "Quickly set up a chair for Su Xiucai to sit on, how can there be any reason for Xiucai to kowtow to our family, isn't this a loss of our family's life?" ”

The little eunuch brought a chair and rested it behind Su Hao, Su Hao stood up and thanked Li Long, then sat down with a half-bow, waiting for Li Long to ask.

In terms of rules, Su Hao does not need to kneel and kowtow to Li Long, and there are many restrictions on kneeling in the Ming Guild Ceremony, and generally it is not recommended to kneel between officials and scholars, and officials who are generally two or three grades apart meet each other, that is, they just bow. But the rules are the rules, the world is the world, everyone else kneels, if you have to pretend to be high and refuse to kneel, then wait to be cleaned up.

Su Hao is an expert, with a very high IQ and not a low EQ, so he can still carry this thing clearly.

"Su Hao, I heard that you have never been to the Copper Drum Stone, but you can say in advance that the Copper Drum Stone must have a gold mine. At first, our family really couldn't believe it, but then I heard Zhang Baihu who went with you report to our family, saying that he really found a gold mine, and it was a big gold mine, and our family was shocked to drop their jaws. Li Long stroked his chin exaggeratedly and said to Su Hao.

The eunuch lives in the inner palace all day long, mixing with a group of concubines and palace maids, and is somewhat tainted with some sissies, which is really nothing to do.

"Back to Gonggong Li, the students were also anxious to share the worries of the court, so they dared to speak up. Fortunately, the results of the survey really found the gold mine, otherwise the student would not have died enough to atone for his sins. Su Hao replied.

Li Longge smiled and said: "Su Xiucai is really humble, this kind of thing is not something that anyone dares to say, let alone anyone who can find a mine after saying it." Mine supervisors everywhere ask miners to look for minerals, and no miner has such a miracle. I heard that Su Xiucai learned the art of surveying public opinion of Yiren, could it be that this surveying technique of Yiren is higher than that of my Daming? ”

Su Hao said: "My Ming skills must be the best in the world." However, Yiren's technology also has merits. The student just combined my Daming's exploration skills with the skills of Yiren, so he was a little more sure than ordinary miners. ”

"Well said, well said. Come on, give a reward. Li Long turned his head to the little eunuch on the side and ordered.

The little eunuch stepped forward with two ingots of silver and handed them to Su Hao. Su Hao hurriedly took it and thanked Li Long again, Li Long just waved his hand and said, "Merit will be rewarded, thank you what?" Our family has always liked capable young people. ”

"Thank you Grandpa Li for the compliment." Su Hao replied respectfully.

With the previous experience of dealing with Chang Wu, and looking at Li Long and his person, Su Hao felt that the personalities of these two eunuchs were really worlds apart. Chang Wu is the kind of high-minded mentality, even if he smiles at you, he is not smiling, and it seems that giving you a smile is a great gift. As for what kind of reward, let alone talk, Su Hao worked tirelessly to find a gold mine for him, but in the end he didn't get a penny of reward.

On the other hand, Li Long is obviously much more easy-going with others, and his rewards are also real. These two ingots of silver weigh 10 taels, and he said that he would reward them, and he did not drag them with mud and water. He keeps saying that he cherishes talents, no matter whether he really thinks so in his heart, at least the surface work is still good.

It can be seen that eunuchs are not all hateful, this is just a profession, which profession does not have good people and bad people? Recall that in Chinese history, good eunuchs also emerged in endlessly.

Su Hao sat there thinking about what was wrong, and Li Long continued to ask: "Su Hao, what do you think about the mining of Tonggushi gold mine?" ”

Su Hao hurriedly said: "Gonggong Li's words are serious, how dare the students say the word "see and teach" to their father-in-law?" In the humble opinion of the students, the rock structure of the gold mine here is slightly better than that of the Yuanli gold mine, and the possibility of a roof accident is slightly smaller, but it is still necessary to pay attention to protection at any time during mining, and use wood to support the canopy in case of accidents. The gold mine is accompanied by pyrite, which is harmful to the human body, so pay attention to ventilation when mining......"

While Su Hao was talking, Li Long had been listening carefully, and motioned to the little eunuch next to him with his eyes to record. After Su Hao finished speaking, Li Long nodded and said: "Su Gaizhi, in the letter to me, Han Zhixian repeatedly praised you for your good character, and you only rely on a public heart to do things, and do not seek personal gain. After hearing all of this from you, I kind of believe it completely. In these years, it is really not easy to find a few people who are down-to-earth. ”

"Uh......" Su Hao was speechless. When Li Long said this, his intention to solicit was already very obvious, if Su Hao wanted to climb this line, he should get up immediately, bow his head and bow down, it is best to recognize Li Long as a godfather and godmother...... It depends on Li Long's own gender orientation. But Su Hao is not this kind of person after all, although he also has the intention of taking Li Long's line, but he really can't do this kind of disgusting thing if he wants him to lick the feet of a eunuch with a servile face.

"Stand down, all of you." Li Long waved his hand and drove out the little eunuchs and brocade guards who were waiting on both sides. When there were only two people left in the room, he looked at Su Hao with his eyes and asked, "Su Hao, you should understand what our family means, right?" ”

"Back to Gonggong Li, the student understands." Su Hao replied helplessly.

Li Long said: "Su Hao, let's talk to you about the heart, although our family is disabled, it is not without that competitive heart." Where our family is not as good as others, it is that our family is too kind. In order to complete the errand, other people's families do not hesitate to force the people into bankruptcy, and our family can't do this kind of thing.

Our family is also from a poor family, and we know the hardships of the poor family. However, if our family has not been able to achieve results, it will be difficult to explain it when we go back. Buddha blessed, let our family discover a talent like you Su Gaizhi, capable, and not greedy for wealth, is facing our family's temper. Are you interested in doing an errand for our family? Let's join forces and find a few more good mines, which will not only lighten the burden of the people, but also allow the inner court to have more silver, and our family can have a little glory in front of the emperor. Would you like this to be good for everyone? ”

"Well, back to Grandpa Li, the student is willing to run an errand for Grandpa Li. However, the student has a reluctant request, the student is the only child in the family, so this is ......" Su Hao is inconvenient to continue, and if he goes on, he will point to the monk and scold the bald donkey.

Li Long was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Su Hao meant, and couldn't help laughing. The eunuch has a physical disability, and he will feel a little ashamed at first, but after a long time, he will be relieved and will not be embarrassed by this. Hearing Su Hao's worry, Li Long only felt funny, but did not feel that it was an insult to himself.

"Su Gaizhi is really a straightforward person, and he dares to speak out in front of our family for such things. Don't worry, our family just wants you to be an errand for our family, not to let you enter the palace. Now there are a lot of people who want to enter the palace, and how many of them have cleaned their bodies and are waiting outside the palace to make up for the quota. Even if I want you to enter the palace, you may not be qualified. Li Long said with a smile.

"The student lost his words, and Father-in-law Li forgave the sin." Su Hao said that if he was able to keep some important things, he was at ease, "Gonggong Li, I don't know if you want students to run errands, how do you do it?" ”

"There's no urgency." Li Long put away his smile and said, "Don't look at our family's infinite scenery in Jiangxi Province, if you return to the palace, you will just be an ordinary minister." If you want to be able to speak a few words in front of the saint, you must have good results.

Instead, now we have found a gold mine for our family, and our family plans to immediately pump Changwu and those people over to mine the gold mine of Tonggushi. It will take a year and a half to pick, and when our family returns with the gold, we can let the saint take a look at our family and arrange a better seat for our family. ”

"I see." Su Hao said. It seems that what Li Long said to himself just now is a bright future, that is, a blank check, he has to wait for Li Long to pick out the gold, get Wanli's approval, and give him a promotion to an official and a half position, so that he can come to promote himself. This has come and gone, but it has been a matter of several years, and I can afford to wait, but I can't afford to wait for my big career of picking up girls.
