"Back to Niangniang, you have made the matter investigated by your subordinates clear, and the child you are looking for seems to be ...... Princess Rui of Shuoyue Country and she seems to be particularly interested in Fuzhou City recently, and she has been back and forth to Fuzhou City many times. ”

The man kneeling on the ground replied respectfully.

"What do you mean by like? Do you know what I hate the most, probably, maybe these uncertain and uncertain words, since you are not sure, why don't you quickly investigate and come back? Don't forget, it's the full moon day soon, since she is so interested in Fuzhou City, you can do something in Fuzhou City, let her be busy for a while, don't let her ruin my big business. ”

The woman in a gorgeous costume said sharply, with a cold killing intent in her tone.

"Yes, my subordinates will go right away, please calm your anger."

As soon as the man kneeling on the ground heard the day of the full moon, his face changed suddenly, as if the day of the full moon was an extremely terrible thing, and he hurriedly withdrew after saying it with a trembling voice.

"Jade, you go and monitor Princess Rui's every move, and once you find anything unusual about her, come and tell me immediately."

The woman in a gorgeous costume took a sip of tea from her teacup and commanded behind the curtain.

"Yes, my subordinates will go right away, please rest assured."

A tall, thin woman wearing a black veil walked out from behind the curtain and disappeared into the great hall in an instant.

Prince Rui's Palace.

When Lin Qingwan woke up, the sky outside the window was bright, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and there were birds crying on the huge purple flower tree in the courtyard, the voice was graceful and ethereal, which made people feel comfortable to listen to.

"Miss, it's not good, something happened in Fuzhou City."

Red Sleeves screamed breathlessly and pushed open the door of Xinxiangyuan and said.

"What's going on?"

Lin Qingwan instantly got up from the bed and asked with a frown.

"The slave maid just sent food to the prince, I heard that there was a mining accident in the mine of Fuzhou City, and many people died, when the prince came to Xinxiang Pavilion, he saw that you were still resting, so he took someone to the mine to check the situation first."

Red Sleeves said nervously.

As soon as she said this, Lin Qingwan suddenly remembered that she seemed to feel that Bai Luochen had come to the room in the morning, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

Then she seemed to hear a voice in her ear in a daze, "Lie down a little longer, your face looks so bad lately, don't be in a hurry to get up." ”

So she fell asleep again, thinking she was dreaming, but now it seemed that he had really come to her room.

"Red Sleeves help me wash and dress up, let's go to Fuzhou City Mine."

Fengcheng has been raining for the past few days, and the road to Fuzhou City has become very rugged and muddy, and in the short six-mile road, Lin Qingwan and his party have walked for more than two hours, and when they arrived in Fuzhou City, the sky has completely darkened.

The Qingjiang River of Fuzhou City flows from north to south, bringing a lot of wealth to the Nanyuan Kingdom, Qingjiang can produce the best jade, Lin Qingwan traveled all the way, and saw that there are hundreds of large and small mines along the Qingjiang River, including Beigang, Nanli, Dongping, Xijiang and Qingjiang five major mining areas.

They have seen all the way, except for the four major mining areas in Qingjiang, there are thousands of miners working in each mine, which is spectacular.

Lin Qingwan watched as the tanned miners stood in the turbulent river, building a dam, cutting off part of the river, and then digging under the riverbed, looking for the best jadeite rough buried in the water.

Everyone was bare, with empty shorts, and the exposed skin was tanned, and there were many places that had been peeled off by the sun, and how much wealth they had brought to the Nanyuan Kingdom, but their bodies were as skinny as those stones that had just been dug up.

Lin Qingwan walked along the river, looking at the jade pickers who were sweating under the scorching sun, and couldn't help sighing.

"Miss, why do these miners in the water seem to be so many more than those in the mountains, and the price of jadeite is so high, it stands to reason that they should be paid a lot for such hard work? Why are they all looking like they don't have enough to eat and wear? Redsleeves asked, puzzled.

Lin Qingwan looked at those miners from a distance, as if she was very familiar with all these scenes, and she said in a light tone: "The ones they dug out of the riverbed are water stones, and the quality is better than the materials they mined from the mountains, so the pay for their work in the water is relatively high. ”

Red Sleeves frowned and continued to ask: "But the price of jadeite is so expensive, who took the money from the sale?" ”

"Silly girl, that money was naturally taken away by these big mine owners, as well as the kings and grandsons of the Nanyuan Kingdom, and have you ever seen silkworm farmers who raise silk? Have you ever seen the people who farm the land eat enough? ”

Lin Qingwan looked at the red sleeves and said, this world has always been like this, only powerful people can collect money and enjoy life, and these workers living at the bottom will only be exploited layer by layer, without food, and coarse clothes.

"Miss, is their job dangerous? I look at the way the river is in a hurry, won't they be afraid? ”

Red Sleeves glanced at the turbulent river and asked.

Lin Qingwan looked at the dark and thin miners in the Qingjiang River, showing a compassionate expression, "They are mining jade in the turbulent river of the Qingjiang River, which is naturally dangerous and abnormal, probably every year, hundreds of miners are swept away by the turbulent river, or they are crushed to death by the sudden collapse of the embankment under the river, they are really exchanging their lives for money." ”

This is indeed a big problem, and when she returns, she must think carefully about how to solve the dangerous problem of these miners quarrying.

"Then why don't they change to another job, why do they risk their lives to come here to quarry stones?" Redsleeves frowned at the poor miners and asked puzzled.

"Silly girl, what else can they do if they don't do this?" Lin Qingwan smiled bitterly and looked at the mountains everywhere around, and there was not much flat land suitable for planting a dealer at all.

"Fuzhou City is a mountainous area, there are many mountains and few places, but the population is dense, the poor families in the mountains cannot afford to go to private schools, most of them are illiterate poor people, and there is no land to grow a farmer, if you don't go to the stone, most of the people here are afraid that they will starve to death, right?"

Lin Qingwan glanced at the red sleeves and said lightly.

As they spoke, they saw a little boy appear in front of their carriage and stretched out his hand to block their way......
