has been dug and calculated, and he can still laugh?

And laughing so happily!

The two waiters were full of doubts, and at the same time, they couldn't help but sigh in their hearts - this Marquis of Changning is really deeply hidden, and his mentality is very stable. They can't compare to him even at their age, they are really heroes and teenagers!

Therefore, they have more respect for Du Junqing in their hearts.

In the following days, they naturally got along better and better.

In a flash, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

On this day, Fufengzi Ou Shenzi can be regarded as coming from the mine. Of course, Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan, the two little followers, also followed.

I haven't seen them for a few months, and the two little guys have lost a lot of weight, and this little look looks weird and painful. Gu Caiwei saw it in her eyes, and she couldn't help but hurriedly stepped forward to hold their little hands: "Ah Yuan, Ah Yi, what do you think now?" ”

"Tired." The two little ones replied in unison.

Gu Caiwei suddenly covered her lips and smiled.

As a little apprentice under Ou Shenzi Fufengzi, can they not get tired? These two men are busy with neither eating nor drinking. As their little apprentices, these two little ones naturally had to be busy in front of and behind them like spinning tops.

"So, do you want to give up?" Gu Caiwei asked with a smile.

"Don't!" Du Yi immediately shook his head.

Gu Tianyuan thought about it, and he also shook his head: "I just learned a little fun from sword casting, and I don't want to let go for the time being." ”

"I'm going to give up! I'm giving up! But immediately, Gu Tianci, who had just entered the door, hurriedly shouted and ran over.

He was caught by Du Shishilang to go to the mountains to see the mines, and every day before dawn he had to get up and follow the people up the mountain, and he followed the people wherever he went, and when the people started mining, he watched from the sidelines, and he was busy until it was dark, so that he could go down the mountain with the people. No matter how cold or hot it is, as long as the people set out, he has to follow them, and eat and live with them.

In the past few months, he can be said to have been weathered, and the whole person has lost weight like Du Yi, and because he has not eaten well and slept enough for a long time, his spirit has languished a lot.

So now, when I heard Gu Caiwei say that I could give up? He quickly ran over and shouted.

But unfortunately, as soon as he said his words, Du Shishi, who came in with him, hurriedly stepped forward and pushed him aside. "Uncle and aunt, he's joking, don't take it seriously. Now he's doing a good job in the mines, and he's doing a lot of things for me. I'm going to hand over everything to him next year, and then I can take the initiative to take people into the mountains to find iron ore!" ”

Is he going to stuff more things into his hands?

As soon as Gu Tianci heard this, his face suddenly wrinkled like a small bun.

Seeing this, Du Shishi lowered his head and glanced at him coldly: "What? Aren't you happy? ”

"No, no, no, I'd love to, yes!" Gu Tianci's shoulders shook and he nodded quickly.

I don't know how much his kid has suffered under Du Shixi, and now he is very afraid of Du Shixi. Du Shishi just glanced at him, and he trembled with fright.

That's a good thing. Someone can cure this little guy, so they don't have to worry much about him.

Gu Caiwei immediately put him aside, and walked to Ou Shenzi and Fufengzi with a smile.

"Two brothers, how are you feeling lately?"

"Not bad. The mine is rich in resources, and Master Hou treats us well, and I am very satisfied with my stay here. Ou Shenzi hurriedly responded with a smile.

Fufengzi had a cold face. From the moment he entered the door, he didn't glance at Du Junqing, and now he only said lightly: "This iron mine is indeed excellent, and Ah Yi is also very well-behaved and smart." ”

Anyway, he just doesn't praise Du Junqing.

Du Junqing was hostile to him in his heart, but in fact, why wasn't he?

Looking at the side, Du Junqing's face also began to sink.

Gu Caiwei's brain hurt for a while.

After thinking about it, she decided to change the topic, so she smiled at Du Yi: "Your master praised you!" You can see that you are really doing a good job. We must continue to work hard in the future. ”

"Of course!" After receiving her affirmation, Du Yi smiled brightly.

Fufengzi snorted softly. "He's a quick learner. Although the foundation is a little worse, fortunately, I am willing to learn and work hard, and I am not afraid of hardship. My apprentice is not a failure. ”

As soon as Ou Shenzi heard Fufengzi praise Du Yi, he hurriedly said loudly again: "Gorou is also very powerful!" He is smart and sensible, I taught him something, he can draw inferences from one another, and he can also deduce the truth of medicine from the skill of sword forging. In just the past few days, he has even developed two new prescriptions! ”

"Really?" Gu Caiwei suddenly became happier, and she hurriedly gave Gu Tianyuan a thumbs up and praised a few words.

Seeing this, Fu Fengzi's eyes immediately darkened, and he quickly praised Du Yilai again.

Ou Shenzi has been raising the bar with him since he was a child, and the two of them are used to comparing with each other when they bump into each other, and now everyone praises the apprentice together, and naturally you start to praise your little apprentice again and me. Before they knew it, they had boasted about both children to the sky!

And boasting and boasting, seeing that the sentence was not enough, they began to throw out the cultivation plan for the apprentice in the future, which was called a magnificent and gorgeous, and they almost sent these two little guys to the throne of the world's first sword-casting master!

These two people were so noisy that they almost didn't look like a master at all, but Du Yi and Gu Tianyuan were overjoyed when they heard that the master praised them like this, and their small breasts were very high.

Seeing this, Du Junqing also glanced at Gu Caiwei lightly. "You've got a wonderful trick to quote Shuidong."

"I'm not here for you?" Gu Caiwei hummed lightly, "If you and Brother Fang are right, we won't have to eat today's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet!" ”

"But now that they're arguing so fiercely, how much better do you think the impact can be?" Du Junqing glanced at the two Ou Shenzi brothers who were still screaming higher than one voice.

"Then you're thinking too much." Gu Caiwei immediately smiled lightly, "Talking like this is the norm for the two of them, and it's just a way for them to vent their emotions." When they have vented enough, they will be fine, and they will still eat happily for a while, don't believe you, wait and see! ”

And then......

When the banquet was ready, Ou Shenzi and Fufengzi also finished arguing. At the moment of silence, these two people really changed their angry appearances, and they all returned to the calm and calm image of the worldly master at the beginning, as if the quarrel just now did not exist at all.

Du Junqing was amazed.

Gu Tianyuan and Du Yi looked flat. These days, following these two masters, they have seen too many situations like this, and they have long been numb.

It's just that before taking the seat, Fu Fengzi still glanced at Gu Caiwei deeply.

Although he didn't speak, just glanced at him, and he saw Gu Caiwei's heart tremble, and she hurriedly raised a smile at him.

Fu Fengzi let out another low snort from his nose, and then turned his head and left.

Gu Caiwei hurriedly stuck out her tongue. "My plan was discovered by my brother!"

"If you find it, you will find it, anyway, your skills are not very good, isn't it sooner or later that you will be discovered?" Du Jun said coolly, grabbed her soft again, and pulled her to sit on the top seat together.

Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is much richer than the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet. In addition to the dishes on Chinese New Year's Eve, Gu Caiwei added a steamed carp to everyone's table.

The carp is a large red carp caught from the pond, and the skin is still red after the scales are removed. After steaming in the pot, the fish is bright red and translucent, revealing a sense of festivity.

Moreover, the original rough carp meat has been soaked in flour, the meat is much firmer, and the taste has also improved a lot.

Fufengzi has never cared much about eating, but Ou Shenzi cheered: "I can be regarded as eating what you prepared again, little lady!" ”

Then, he began to gobble it up.

Fufengzi slowly ate his share. After eating a fish, he spoke again: "These days, I hear some noise in the mountains. ”

When the people present heard this, everyone's hearts tightened.

There is a noise in the mountains...... It sounds like a terrible sound.

But don't let there be cracks in the mines! Otherwise, the mine they have worked so hard to dig for so long will be abandoned! All the hard work that had been put into the past was in vain!

Seeing that everyone's faces were frightened by his words and began to turn white, even Du Junqing looked very worried, and a touch of pride appeared in Fu Fengzi's eyes.

Then, he said slowly, "But I'm not talking about this mine of ours, but somewhere else. ”

Call!

The big guy quickly breathed a sigh of relief.

Du Junqing immediately quietly grinded his teeth a few times, and asked Gu Caiwei: "For the New Year, does he have to find trouble like this?" ”

Gu Caiwei hurriedly shook her head. "Brother Fang's ears are very keen, and he is the most sensitive of all the apprentices under Yang Mingzi. He could tell where the best raw iron was found just by listening with his ears. So now, since he said so, there must be a reason for him to speak. For the New Year, he won't be fine. ”

Du Junqing's eyebrows were slightly relaxed, but there was still a little suspicion in his eyes.

Immediately, I heard Du Yi say: "It seems that there are some sounds, I can't hear them clearly during the day, but I heard them all at night, just like the sound of our mine digging the mountain with something." Especially on two nights, I heard a rumbling sound, like something heavy suddenly falling to the ground, and the ground under my feet was shaking. ”

"Hey, I heard that voice too, but in the dead of night, I thought it was my delusion, so I didn't care." Gu Tianyuan immediately said.

His mind was all about making pills, and of course he didn't care so much about other things.

When the other people who were waiting in the mine heard this, their faces also changed, and they quickly told them all the movements they had heard.

In the end, by putting together everyone's arguments, they can come to a conclusion - someone should be opening a mountain not far from them!

The location of this mine in Yongxing County is already less than five miles away from the junction of Yongxing County and neighboring counties. A little further on, there are endless mountains in front of you, which is also the boundary of Yangxin County, a neighboring county.

Those voices also came from Yangxin County.

"Who could it be? Martial arts family? When the squire of the military department heard this, he hurriedly asked in a low voice.

At this time, except for the Wu family, there should be no one who is desperate to force the people to open the mountain to mine in the winter.

Du Junqing's eyelashes drooped slightly. "It doesn't matter who he is, anyway, since it's not on our territory, it has nothing to do with us, they like to toss and toss as they want. It's enough for us to do our own thing. ”

"That's right." Tobe Shirou also nodded quickly.

Now they have already driven out all the idle people in Yongxing County, and they have also made a plan for the next year's mountain opening together, everything is going on in an orderly manner, and the future is bright. As long as this thing is done well, they must be a great credit, and no one will come to rob it anymore!

In that case, why do they care so much? If the surnamed Wu really wants to toss, then they can toss it themselves, and this matter will not have much impact on them.

So, everyone just mentioned this matter casually, and then hid it in their hearts and turned to talk about other topics.

Seeing this, Fu Fengzi glanced at Du Junqing lightly.

Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve feast is actually not very formal. After all, in addition to the people from the Changning Marquis Mansion, there were also the two attendants of the Ministry of War, the people of the Qin family, and the Lang Juns from the Laiguo Mansion, as well as the sword-casting masters who came from all over the world represented by Ou Shenzi Fufengzi, and the composition of the personnel was very complicated.

Now that so many people get together for dinner, everyone actually doesn't talk much about going together. So after Du Junqing said a few words at the beginning, and then announced the opening of the banquet, everyone began to talk to themselves, and it was still an exchange between small groups.

It's just that after a few months of running in with each other, these small groups have found the most suitable way to get along. In addition, Du Junqing has always treated them generously, so these people's attitude towards Du Junqing is quite respectful, so although this New Year's dinner is not very lively, it is also quite harmonious and smooth.

After eating, everyone said goodbye and went back to rest.

Fu Fengzi waited until everyone was almost gone, and then he Shi Shiran got up, and his eyes officially fell on Du Junqing.

Du Junqing noticed his gaze, he immediately raised his chin slightly, and looked back at Fufengzi generously: "Fufengzi, but what else do you have to explain?" ”

"Nope." Fu Fengzi shook his head, "I didn't expect that you would be able to subdue the hearts of so many people in a short period of time, and unite them to this point." In this way, you still have some ability. ”

"Don't worry, I'll show you more of my skills next." Du Jun said lightly.

"Really?" The corners of Fu Fengzi's lips twitched, "Then I'll wait and see." ”

With that, he flicked his sleeves and strode away.

"Master, wait for me!" Seeing this, Du Yi hurriedly chased after him with a low scream.

When Ou Shenzi saw it, he couldn't help frowning, and hurriedly leaned over to Gu Caiwei's side. "Little lady, are the Hou Ye and his junior brother still fighting openly and secretly? You haven't thought of any way to get them along? ”

"Forget about living in harmony, now they're already very good, so they didn't fight directly, did they?" Gu Caiwei spread her hands.

Ou Shenzi immediately Nunu mouthed. "Do you think my junior brother doesn't want to beat him? It's just that his small body is too weak, and I'm afraid he can't withstand the fist of his junior brother, so the junior brother didn't move him! ”

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh again. "In this way, in fact, the junior brother also hurts you enough. Obviously, he has been angry like this, and he has to help you protect this man, so he can only turn around and vent his anger by torturing this man's son. ”

The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched when she heard this.

What is this? Obviously she is the most innocent one, but how can she sound like a red face from other people's mouths?

After Ou Shenzi said this, he also left.

Gu Caiwei raised her eyes to look at Du Junqing, and saw that Du Junqing's face became even more ugly.

Ou Shenzi is a rough man, and he has always spoken in a loud voice. Although he lowered his voice and was talking to Gu Caiwei just now, this was only for himself. But his volume, at least Du Junqing, who was standing next to Gu Caiwei, could hear it clearly.

So right now, he's in a very bad mood.

"So he still wants to hit me?" Du Jun said coolly, "When you met those men who wanted to marry you before, did he beat them all?" ”

"You want to hear the truth?" Gu Caiwei asked.

Du Junqing immediately twisted his head. "Forget it, you don't have to say it, I know it all."

With that, he grabbed her again. "Let's go, let's set off firecrackers. We are kind and loving, and we are angry with this surnamed Fang! ”

Gu Caiwei suddenly couldn't help laughing again.

This arrogant and awkward man, he is really getting more and more fun.

However, although he said in public at the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet that he did not care about the movements in the neighboring county, how could Du Junqing really not go to his heart? The next day, early in the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Du Ren had already been ordered to quietly go to the neighboring county to inquire about the situation.

Three days later, Du Ren came back with the latest news from there.

"Back to the Hou Ye, it is really the Wu family. The subordinates inquired about the situation with the nearby mountain people, and learned that as early as last year, when our people and horses came here, the Wu family had quietly sent a team of people to Yangxin County, and then began to mine and dig everywhere, until the end of winter, and finally found a small iron mine. Then they couldn't wait to bring in manpower and tools to start mining, and the whole month did not stop. It was not until the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month that they gave the craftsmen a few days off. ”

Du Junqing didn't hide this matter from the two waiters, so when Du Ren returned the news, they sat together and listened.

So now after listening to Du Ren's words, the Tobe squire was immediately angry: "They are simply too much!" In the cold winter, the mountains are cold, and the cold wind in the cold night can blow off the dead branches on the trees. There have been several snowfalls on the mountain this winter, and the snow has covered the mountain thickly. In this case, they actually asked someone to open the mine, is this planning to freeze to death, or how many to fall to death? ”

Du Ren said softly: "Look at the meaning of those mountain people, since the beginning of the mine, it is true that several corpses have been carried down from the mountain every day, and then they have dug a pit in the ravine next to them and buried them. ”

The faces of the people in the room turned blue in an instant.

"They really don't take human life seriously! But even so, how many things can they mine when they mine iron ore in the cold weather? Can we get those lives back? The soldier couldn't help but snort.

However, everyone understands in their hearts that the lives of untouchables are similar to ants in the eyes of these superiors. Just a few dead and wounded, they don't take it seriously at all. Then, as long as the things in the mine can be dug out as soon as possible, people will die when they die, anyway, those people can't see it, of course they don't care!

Du Junqing also shook his head slowly.

"This is a matter over there in Yangxin County, and the Hou can't control the affairs over there, you came here just to take care of the iron mines here, and everything else has nothing to do with us. So, now it's enough for everyone to know what's going on over there, and it's inconvenient for us to interfere with the rest. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then added slowly: "Of course, if the people over there in Yangxin County want to come to Yongxing County to make a living, Ben Hou is also happy to accept it." ”

With that, he had already gotten up and left.

How clever the two squires were, as soon as they heard this, they immediately realized!

"I know what to do!" The soldier said immediately.

Tobe Shirou also nodded repeatedly. "I also know, I'm going back to order someone to draft a notice, and then have someone post it all over the city!"

"Okay, I'll help you!" The soldier said, and the two of them immediately went hand in hand, talking and laughing.

In the blink of an eye, the sixth day of the first lunar month passed, and the mines in Yangxin County, which had only been quiet for a short time, began to be lively again.

Although the weather is still cold, spring in the south is coming earlier, and now the weeds in the mountains are already budding, and the snow on the mountains is almost melting.

Wu Chonglie was wearing a thick coat, wearing a scarf made of fiery fox fur around his neck, and holding a stove in his hand, standing slowly at the foot of the mountain, watching the people in single clothes crawl on the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, sword casting rooms have also been built, and the sound of tinkling in them is endless.

However, Wu Chonglie frowned, he was not satisfied with this lively scene.

After a faint glance, he commanded to the left and right: "There are still too few people." If it goes on like this, the good ore monkeys in the mountains can only be mined in the year and month? Hurry up and go to the nearby villages and towns to gather more people to come and mine! ”

"Don't worry, the county king has already sent someone to go, and presumably they will come back with new people soon. Now that the New Year is the time of slack, many villagers must want to seize the opportunity to come and make a lot of money! The steward next to him hurriedly said.

Wu Chonglie was satisfied with his head.

However, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, he came to inspect the mine again, and saw that the people on the mountain did not increase but decreased, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"What's going on? Didn't you say to find someone? What about the man? Where did they all die? ”

The little guy was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "King Jun, this is not to blame the small, it is really ...... It's really Changning Hou, they are too insidious and cunning! ”

Wu Chonglie immediately tightened his eyebrows. "The surname Du again? It's not enough that they hurt my brother so badly, and now they dare to meddle in this king's place? Tell me, what did he do? ”

A year later, they sent people to post notices everywhere in Yongxing County to solicit people. They also promised that as long as the people came, they would definitely have meat to eat, and they would be given a holiday during the busy farming season, and they would be allowed to go back to the mines after finishing their family work. Those people can't eat enough ordinary food, and when they hear that they can eat meat, don't they run faster than rabbits? ”

"What's more, last year, when Changning Hou and his people arrived in Yongxing County, they went to buy a batch of sheep and a large group of pigs to raise on the mountain, and every day there were people who drove pigs and sheep out to graze, and then rushed back at night. Every day they have to kill a sheep and a pig for the people to eat, as everyone who works in the mines in Yongxing County knows. So now, taking advantage of the New Year's Festival, they released such news, and then after those people who went home for the New Year, as soon as they publicized it, of course, the people around were moved. Therefore, not only the people in Yongxing County, but also the people in our Yangxin County and many counties around us have rushed over there! ”

As the little guy spoke, the message observed his reaction. Seeing that Wu Chonglie's face turned dark, he quickly lowered his head and said nothing.

Wu Chonglie gritted his teeth with a cold face for a long time before he finally let out a sneer. "They must know that this king has also found a mine here, so they are anxious, and they want to quickly gain the upper hand, so as to steal most of the credit. It's just that if they are still bullied like me and my second brother, then he will have the wrong idea! ”

Then he turned around. "Isn't it just a good thing to attract the untouchables who can eat enough and eat meat and rejoice? I can do it too, and I can take out more than he does! ”

So the next day, a large number of people appeared in Yangxin County and even the surrounding counties and towns, and they posted the notices of the martial arts family everywhere.

Du Ren naturally got one and handed it to Du Junqing: "Master Hou, what should I do now?" Now that the martial arts have offered more favorable conditions than ours, many of the people who had promised to come to work here have already left! ”

"Let's go, let's go, we weren't so short of manpower here. They themselves are going to the tiger's den of the martial arts, can I still pull people back? Du Jun said lightly, "Originally, the main reason for my move was to let the surnamed Wu understand, I already know what they are doing." Now that he knows, my mission is complete. As for the fate of these people, it should be their own decision, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Du Ren hurriedly lowered his head. "Yes, my subordinates know."

The two waiters read the notice issued by Wu Chonglie on the side, and they frowned. The head of the household shouted in a low voice: "King Xin'an is crazy, right?" Ensure that every citizen can have a full meal at every meal, as well as a large piece of meat...... Does he know how much such food is consumed? The pigs and sheep we raise ourselves are almost insufficient, and we have to go out every day to find piglets and lambs to replenish them. In this way, it is not easy for us to ensure that they can taste the meat and drink a bowl of broth at most in a day. They don't have pigs and sheep yet! Then the meat has to go out to buy, and it will be more expensive. Although the samurai family is rich, this money should not be spent like this! ”

The squire of the military department said coolly: "Whatever! Lang Jun of the martial family has been pampered since he was a child, and he really thinks that giving people a big drink and eating meat is a matter of moving his mouth. When the time comes, he will cry! ”

Of course, Du Junqing also had this idea.

"With a momentary temperament, who wouldn't have the upper hand with a lot of money? But if you want one to have the last laugh and finally occupy the highest point, that's the most important thing! He said slowly.

Gu Caiwei deeply agrees with this. "So it's enough to provoke him, so let him go even harder! Let's follow the path we have set up and walk slowly, not in a hurry. ”

"Of course." Du Jun cleared his chin, and the corners of his lips curled higher.

When the two squires saw it in their eyes, they couldn't help covering their faces in their hearts, and sighed in their hearts - King Xin'an County, you ask for more blessings!

Sure enough, after the new notice was issued, the mines in Yangxin County were instantly overcrowded, and there were villagers who rushed to join the village in order to have enough to eat. Seeing this, Wu Chonglie was very proud in his heart.

However, this pride lasted less than a month before it was completely knocked out of the scoring team. Because—

"The king of the county, it's not good, the people below are making trouble, and many people are clamoring to leave!"

Wu Chonglie, who was lying on the lap of the concubine basking in the sun, opened his eyes lazily: "This king is feeding them with good food and drink, what are they not satisfied with, and they still want to make trouble?" Sure enough, these countrymen are not greedy enough, they have enough to eat, they have meat to eat, what do they want? Do you still want to drag your family over for rice? ”

The steward hesitated and hung his head.

Wu Chonglie was impatient, and he kept urging. "What the hell is going on, you tell me clearly!"

"The king of the county, in fact, the people are making trouble because they all say that they haven't eaten a bite of meat for five days in a row! So they weren't happy, saying that we were lying, talking didn't count, they were going to leave, and they went to Changninghou! ”

"Nonsense!"

Wu Chonglie could bear it otherwise, but as soon as he heard that he had defected to Du Junqing, he couldn't help it!

He immediately turned over and sat up: "I allocated so much money to go down, didn't Wu Jiu, who was in charge of purchasing, say that it was enough for them to eat for half a year?" It's only been a few days, and they're shouting that there's no meat to eat? These things are greedy and insufficient, they must be used to eating meat, and they start to want more, so they deliberately look for trouble. This will definitely not satisfy them, you send me a message back, tell the guards to watch them, and not a single one is allowed to run! Whoever dares to sneak away will be directly caught and killed in public! ”

"Yes, the little one knows." The steward nodded quickly, and hurried back to command.

Immediately afterwards, the samurai's mine was full of ghosts and wolves.

However, such an iron-blooded policy did not calm down the people on the mountain. The harder they were beaten, the more people fled. Gradually, less and less iron ore is being dug up day by day. In just half a month, this output is already half less than at the beginning!

You know, now that spring is in full bloom, the weather is neither dry nor hot, and it is a good time to go down the mountain to mine. It stands to reason that the ore dug up by the people should have doubled again and again, but why did this end up being the result?

Wu Chonglie hurriedly called the person in charge over to question, and the manager looked embarrassed: "King of the county, it's not that his subordinates are not managing well, it's really those people who are too lazy!" Everyone who is lazy and lazy refuses to work hard. The subordinates saw that they were all poor people, and talked to them in a good voice, but they didn't take their subordinates seriously, and asked for more meat to be eaten! ”

"This group of Diao people!" Wu Chonglie immediately snorted coldly, "Since they are shameless one by one, then you don't treat them too well, just torture them!" I don't believe that under severe torture, how can they give me to be lazy! ”

"Yes, everything is at your command!" The steward hurriedly agreed.

However, this strategy has not improved the situation on the iron ore mine even a little, and the daily production of iron ore is still decreasing.

Eventually, Wu Chonglie couldn't sit down on his mansion.

"What the hell is going on? I'm going to go to the iron mines! ”

He made a decision and acted immediately. When the people in the mine heard the news, he was already close to him!

These people didn't have time to prepare at all, so they naturally caught Wu Chonglie off guard.

And then......

When he saw the withered mine in front of him, the people who were about to die and slowly moved down with their burdens, and the sparse beating sound from the sword casting room below, Wu Chonglie's heart fell to the bottom, and his face naturally became gloomy.

When the steward heard that he was coming, he hurriedly trotted all the way to meet him, and it was his face that he saw.

The steward's knees immediately weakened, and he knelt down with a thud. "The king of the county spares his life! The king of the county spares his life! ”

Wu Chonglie looked at him coldly: "What the hell is going on here?" You'd better give me a satisfactory explanation, or you'll have to give an account of your life today! ”

The steward trembled with fright, and hurriedly said, "King Jun, this matter is really not a small fault, but a ...... It's ......"

"What, do you still want to put the blame on Changning Hou? But why doesn't this king remember what Changning Hou has done these days? Wu Chonglie said coldly.

He's not stupid enough to fool around with others. Of course, the real reason is still - he doesn't think that Du Junqing is smart and capable enough to control everything he has here!

Another tremor from the steward. "This ...... Of course it has nothing to do with Changning Hou! Just ......"

"Just what? Hurry up and explain honestly, don't stammer here, this king only needs the answer! Wu Chonglie's voice was already a little impatient.

The steward heard it, and he hurriedly said: "King Qiyu, it's mainly because we don't have enough money!" ”

"You talk nonsense! I obviously gave you so much money, and it was enough for me to eat and drink for more than a year! You also patted your chest and promised me that at least you could let them eat New Year's greetings! Wu Chonglie scolded coldly.

"The king of the county, that is actually deliberately exaggerated by his subordinates. With such a little money, where is there enough to eat for half a year? Three months at most. The steward said with a bitter face, "You promised to give the people a full meal, and a large piece of meat for every meal, that is all money!" Especially at the beginning, it was okay, but it didn't cost much to buy a pig or a sheep or something. But after all, the pigs and sheep in this vicinity are limited, and the price rises as much as we buy, and the more they rise, the more outrageous they become, and in the end the money we spend on buying meat will cost forty or fifty times a day, plus the money for rice and grain...... In fact, in just over a month, most of that money has already been spent. The subordinates also had no choice, so they began to cut their diet, and they also picked the cheapest rice and noodles to buy. ”

"In the end, the meat can't afford to eat, the rice can't be full, these people make more trouble, and their subordinates can only let people strictly control them, and they also killed a few chickens and monkeys, but I didn't expect that this group of Diao people was not only not intimidated, but also began to fight with us, and then thought about running away all day long. Over time, things have come to this point......"

After that, he hurriedly knocked his head several times, coughing so much that the skin on his forehead was broken and bleeding, and then he whimpered and begged: "The subordinates originally wanted to cooperate with the county king to manage this place well, but who expected that there were too many people here, and the subordinates really had no choice!" ”

Wu Chonglie looked at him coldly, his eyes were extremely indifferent.

"Have you forgotten that the people here are all fellow villagers of the Overlord of Western Chu. Back then, the overlord of Chu would rather kill himself in Wujiang than return to his hometown in disgrace, which is enough to see how strong the temperament of the people in Chu is. If you fight against them, doesn't that force them to rebel? And it's been so long, why didn't you report it to me in the first place? I've asked so many times in the middle, and you've always been perfunctory, and you haven't told me the truth at all. If you had told me the truth earlier, things wouldn't have come to this point! ”

"The king of the county, what his subordinates said at the beginning......" the steward reminded him in a low voice.

Wu Chonglie's eyes were cold. "Do you mean to say that everything is the responsibility of the king?"

"The subordinates don't dare!" The steward hurriedly shook his head, "It's all the fault of the subordinates, it was the subordinates who didn't make it clear from the beginning, so you misunderstood it." Later, it was also because the subordinates did not do their best to inform you of all the movements in time, so that things got to this point. If your subordinates know their mistakes, please punish the county king! ”

"Of course I'm going to punish you. An iron mine that our martial arts family found so easily, originally according to the plan, should now produce raw iron in large quantities. As a result, because you didn't report it, you have been hiding it until now, and as a result, things have fallen to this point, and this king doesn't know how to explain to Her Majesty the Empress when he turns around, and you must bear all this responsibility! Wu Chonglie drank coldly.

The steward wants to cry without tears.

Obviously, when Wu Chonglie posted that notice everywhere at the beginning, he reminded him, saying that it was very expensive, but Wu Chonglie insisted that their family was not short of money, and he didn't care about this little money! Later, when the people made trouble, he went to report it again, and Wu Chonglie kept saying that the people were insatiable, so he taught people a lesson. He saw that Wu Chonglie didn't take the lives of the people seriously at all, he just fooled people with favorable conditions, and then began to squeeze them desperately, he just complied with Wu Chonglie's wishes. How did it end up like this, and it became his sin again?

He died unjustly!

It's just that he thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say a word to refute it. In the end, he could only nod his head with tears in his eyes. "Yes, everything is the fault of the subordinates, who will explain the situation to Her Majesty. It's just that since you have already come here, if you don't come up with some achievements, how can you explain to Her Majesty the Empress and Her Royal Highness King Liang, who are looking forward to Chang'an City? ”

Wu Chonglie's eyes suddenly darkened again. "It's all come to this point, what else can this king do? I can only send a letter to Daddy first, ask him to allocate a little more money, and then start all over again. ”

"Actually, my subordinates have an idea, not just what should be said." The steward immediately said.

Wu Chonglie raised his eyebrows. "Let's hear it first."

The steward hurriedly said: "My subordinates think that at this time, we can go to Changning Hou for help." ”

"You mean to make this king bow to him? No way! Wu Chonglie immediately shook his head, "This king's brothers have already folded under him several times, if this king also bows his head and surrenders now, doesn't that mean that our martial arts family has all confessed?" This king can't do it! ”

"The king of the county, my subordinates don't mean that. The subordinates want to say that since the Marquis of Changning has done things well here, they naturally have their advantages. You know, when they first came here, they didn't get as much money as you do! Look at how good they are doing now! Moreover, they have been here for more than half a year, and they will definitely produce something in the near future. As long as they take out something first, it will definitely take the lead. As a result, we are still waiting here for King Liang to allocate money, and then put the money in, then it will take at least half a year to get results, we can't afford to wait! The steward whispered anxiously.

After Wu Chonglie heard this, the look of resistance on his face faded a little.

When the steward saw that there was a play, he hurriedly persuaded again: "Moreover, the subordinates also said that we are just going to learn a little experience from them, and by the way, observe the operation mode of their mines." In this way, we know in our hearts, won't it be twice the result with half the effort to go back and do things? ”

At the end, he said again: "Moreover, my subordinates have found out that most of the people who escaped from our mine have gone to Yongxing County to join the Marquis of Changning." ”

"Sure enough, it's him again!"

Hearing this, Wu Chonglie finally couldn't sit still.

He slapped the case and shouted angrily: "But, let this king go to see him? That's impossible. Hurry up and send a letter to the king! ”
