Chapter 58
The mountain rich in cinnabar ore is called Chenshan.
It is said that thousands of years ago, the mountains were full of cinnabar mines, and under the light against the backdrop, like a round of red sun, this peak was named "Chenshan".
There is Chenshan Mountain, and then there is Chensha, and then there is Chenguo, Chenxian County.
If it weren't for the replacement of Chen Guo by Fan Guo, today's Fan County would have been called Chen County.
Chenshan is very large, the main peak alone has a thousand zhang high, and the surrounding mountains are guarded, more or less produce cinnabar. But the best quality can only be dug from the main peak.
Due to the distance, Yin Ji's strength could not penetrate deep into the inner core of the main peak, but just from the situation she had detected so far, she found that the main peak of Chenshan had been dug up very dangerously. It's like a big tree, where insects start from the root of the tree, and a big hole is drilled that is hard to ignore.
This is not alarmist.
Yin Cheng made a rough calculation, and found that there were more than a dozen mine roads into it, and further down, it was even more longitudinal and horizontal, like a labyrinth, and she didn't know which way to derive her strength for a while to reach the end.
When she intensified her investigation, she found that many of them were dead ends!
Yin Ji instantly understood.
People in this era do not have a set of systematic theories to guide them on how to mine scientifically, how to select the force point, and how to support. So, they can only use the clumsiest way, which is to keep digging forward.
If you dig like this, there must be a time when it will collapse!
The labor cost required to clean up the mining disaster site is too high, and it may cause a secondary collapse, and the best way is to dig in a different place.
In this way, Chenshan still looks majestic on the outside, but it has almost been dug into a big labyrinth, and there are abandoned mine roads everywhere. Although it will not affect the pattern of the whole mountain, parts of the mountain are empty like this, and they are still digging desperately, and the frequency of mining disasters is of course getting higher and higher day by day!
Yin Ji's power only touched the middle part, but she could already feel that another mining disaster was coming.
The location of the accident must be deep in the mountains, but she is not close enough now!
In order to prevent the catastrophe from happening, Yin Ji must go down the mine herself, at least halfway to the mine, in order to maximize her strength.
Without thinking, Yin Ji immediately ordered: "Turn around, go to Chenshan!" ”
Rong Shang was accustomed to the unconditional execution of Yin Hui's orders, and immediately ordered the soldiers to change their routes. The palace people and the temple people will not have any objections, but these officials and relatives of Fan County have simply exploded.
Although they have made a lot of money from the cinnabar mine, and they are so rich that they are more comfortable than the ministers of Lulong City, but how many of them have been to Chenshan?
It's not to go to the mine, just to go to Chenshan to see.
Undoubtedly, not a single one.
Knowing that you have a hen that lays golden eggs, do you have to watch the egg-laying process yourself?
But no matter how much they complained, they couldn't change the princess's mind, so they could only follow the convoy for another day and came to the foot of the main peak of Chenshan Mountain.
Then, Rong Shang was also shocked: "The princess wants to go to the mine? ”
Biao Wanzi was full of helplessness, but still nodded.
Rong Shang sighed, and couldn't say anything.
The princess is not very old, but she has a very good idea, when she was in Annan County before, she went directly into Minshan without a person, and "dealed" with the mountain gods, not once or twice.
Rong Shang also fulfilled his duties at the beginning, and wanted to follow the princess, but the princess didn't care, so let him follow. Then they were tied up with vines by the mountain god and used to threaten the princess, but the princess saved them.
Since that fight, Rong Shang has learned to be obedient, because he knows very well who protects whom once he encounters danger.
With their small bodies as ordinary people, if they really want to meet the mountain god and water god, it is a matter of people's eyes. Not to mention guarding the princess, it's not bad to drag it down.
But they didn't enter Minshan because they knew that there were mountain gods in it, and it was difficult to distinguish between good and evil, so they couldn't be a burden to the princess. At the moment, the princess just wants to go down the mine, and they can't talk if they don't follow, so Rong Shang asked, "What does the princess command?" ”
Biao Wanzi said with doubts: "The princess wants to bring thousands of stones to six hundred stones of officials and their families to enter together, and you can just wait to protect them." We waited outside and waited for the princess. ”
This puzzled Biao Wanzi.
Every time the princess traveled before, especially to the deep mountains and old forests, she went alone, and she never talked about pomp and circumstance!
Rong Shang could guess a few points.
In the end, he is the general of the imperial court, and he knows that the imperial court's attitude towards Haoqiang has always been rather in vain than indulgent, and the princess and the king are of the same mind, so they naturally have little affinity for Haoqiang. Therefore, he guessed that the reason why the princess took so many people down the mine was just because she felt that Fan Jun was arrogant, arrogant, and ignorant, and wanted to take the opportunity to stand up.
Otherwise, these guys are used to being the emperor of the soil in Fan County, and they don't know how thick the sky is, so they may have something to think about!
Rong Shang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with Yin Xi's move, and even felt that the princess was too soft-hearted.
As early as a few decades ago, Wei Jun changed the law, and the combination of military merit and field house title cultivation and warfare was defeated, and the family of Zhaoguo disappeared one after another, and was replaced by an emerging military group. Even if the local heroes are lucky enough to keep their family business, they have to be a man with their tails between their legs, otherwise they may be targeted by local officials and exchange your family's head for their own glorious achievements.
Because of this, Rong Shang has lived for more than 30 years, and he has never seen such an arrogant existence of Fan Junhaoqiang.
Didn't you just come out to meet the princess for two hundred miles? Thought he hadn't heard a private whining?
The princess didn't let you come all the way to welcome you, and the Liu County Shou was just waiting in Annan County.
In order to please the princess, you took the initiative to put on such a posture, but you are so dissatisfied, this one alone should be killed!
In order to ask to see the king, the princes of the court often waited for one day in the outer court, and waited for more than ten days in a row before they could see the king. How could the princes ever say the word "bitter"? Could it be that you are more noble than the princes?
Of course, the biggest reason why Rong Shang is so unhappy is actually that his eyes are red.
Just as Yin Ji can see from Lei Dong's wife that Fan County is powerful and extravagant, Rong Shang glanced at the swords on the officials of Fan County and the leather boots on their feet, and also knew how comfortable the life of this group of soil emperors was, and his heart became more and more angry - my Rong family has been in the army for three generations, and I have made great contributions to the Zhao country, although I am not as prominent as the Biao, Wang, and Meng families, and it is also a small hill in the military when I go out, but my life is not as good as that of you frontier buns?
Look at these guys, how comfortable life is, you don't have to fight hard, you don't have to face the danger of defeat, death in battle, and being exterminated for various reasons, as long as you let the slaves dig desperately.
The change of appearance is still coming, and he is willing to live a life like this while lying down!
The more Rong Shang thought about it, the more angry he became, and he had already made up his mind that in the next monthly recital, the extravagance of this group of bastards in Fan County must be truthfully reported.
He didn't believe that such a windfall would not pierce the eyes of the princes!
