Lei Dong was struggling with how to speak, pushing his younger siblings in front of the princess, hearing Rong Shang say this, if he had obtained a treasure, he hurriedly called his wife and younger siblings to change into clean clothes and shoes in the car, wipe the dust off his face and hair, and go to see the princess.

Yin Ji didn't deliberately use her mental power to see, she wasn't so boring. It's just that when I observed this group of people, I didn't have time to take it back.

Then she found that the two women, though their outer garments and uppers were made of fine linen, the older one had a garment made of soft silk, and the inner lining of the shoes was padded with brocade.

Yin Ji knew it in her heart.

After a while, the two women, under the guidance of the temple people, entered the Anche.

The woman in front of her was shocked by the luxury of Anche, and she didn't dare to raise her head as soon as she came in, and bowed directly to the ground, her voice trembling a little: "Lei Yang, meet the princess." ”

The slightly younger woman behind was stunned for a moment, but reacted quickly: "The wife of Lei Bai, the county guard of Xianfan County, the Yang family, meet the princess." ”

When Biao Wanzi heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The palace people present were all first-class human spirits, and they understood as soon as they heard that this was a contradiction within the Lei family.

Lei Dong's wife took the first step to call herself Lei Yang's, so how should Lei Bai's wife call herself? If you are disrespectful and unable to speak in front of the princess, it is a crime of disrespect!

The palace people don't have to think about it to guess that it is nothing more than a family of sisters marrying a family of brothers, but they are divided into high and low. The big one has endured it for many years, and now he feels that his husband is in a high position and can turn over, but he is still pressed by the small one everywhere, and his heart is not smooth, and he intends to make a trip, but he is just an army by others.

Biao Wanzi believed that Da Yang's would definitely not dare to play tricks in front of the princess, so she could only say that it had become her habit to block Xiao Yang's family, and she subconsciously brought it out.

This made Biao Wanzi even more unpleasant.

How you fight behind closed doors is your own business. But playing this kind of scheming in front of the princess, trying to use the princess as a gunman, whether it is intentional or not, I don't want to live.

The wife of the dignified county guard doesn't even understand this thing?

Not to mention, the Da Yang clan is still disrespectful to the princess.

When you meet a nobleman, but you don't claim to be the official position of your husband's family, who do you think you are? There are so many officials surnamed Lei in the world, does the princess have to remember them one by one?

Yin Ji didn't care about these twists and turns.

She saw the internal discord within the Lei family, and she also knew that the people around her were unhappy about it, but she didn't take it to heart at all, and said calmly, "Sit".

Seeing the two of them kneeling nervously, Yin Ji motioned to the palace people to offer incense and drink with her eyes, and saw that they took a sip and calmed down a little, before asking Xiao Yang: "Your name?" ”

Da Yang thought that the princess was asking him, and looked up in surprise, and then was frightened by Yin Xi's appearance, and froze in place, unable to speak for a long time, and was reluctant to look away.

Xiao Yang didn't dare to raise his head, and said respectfully: "The name of the milk is a show word." ”

Yin Cheng nodded: "Yang Xiu, you are mobilizing the people and going out for a hundred miles, what is the matter?" ”

Yang Xiu never thought that Yin Xi would be so direct, but thinking of the princess's strangeness she inquired about, she didn't dare to hide it, so she turned her heart sideways and fell to the ground again, her voice earnest: "I hope the princess will save Fan Jun!" ”

She was so frightened that Da Yang's family finally came back to her senses from Yin Xi's appearance.

Da Yang was about to reprimand this younger brother and sister, but Biao Wanzi finally couldn't help it, and signaled the palace people to take Da Yang to the outer carriage of the Anche, which was guarded and served by the temple people, and did not make trouble in the inner carriage.

The palace people were very quick in handling things, and they "invited" Da Yang to leave without saying a word.

Da Yang just wanted to scream, was half pulled and half dragged to the outer compartment, saw a few white-faced, tall temple people, thinking that this was the king's car, immediately softened, and did not dare to play the majesty of the county guard's wife.

Yang Xiu glanced at this scene from the corner of his eye, and he was even more nervous that he kept breaking out in a cold sweat.

But she has the advantage that the more flustered, the calmer she becomes.

Therefore, Yang Xiu used the fastest time to calm his mind, tried his best to stabilize his tone, and bowed to Yin Cheng before saying: "Don't dare to hide the princess, the cinnabar mine in Fan County is about to run out." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Yin Ji thought for a moment before asking, "Is it depletion, or you can't dig any deeper." ”

Yang Xiu said in despair: "It's both. ”

This is actually quite normal.

Thousands of years ago, Fan County was blessed with cinnabar mines. But because the trade routes were impassable, the people did not know moderation, and they exploited and smeared everywhere.

Later, the cinnabar mine was precious and known to the world. The aristocrats made a lot of money on this, and they would not let go of this hen that could only lay golden eggs.

But the trees have been cut down, and it will take more than ten years to grow, let alone the ore?

Especially when Zhaoguo came in, built a plank road, and the trade route was unimpeded, the Haoqiang of Fan County secretly sold cinnabar at a high price to the monks while offering to the royal family, and lived a free life. Only the core people of the twelve surnames of Fan County know that in fact, the mine has been mined deeper and deeper, and the difficulty of mining is getting bigger and bigger.

But the Zhao royal family's demands have not decreased, but have increased.

Take ten to five years ago as an example, in just five years, Zhao Guo died three kings. In the tomb of every great king, don't you want cinnabar to smear it? Don't want mercury irrigation?

In this way, why is the cinnabar and dansha used thousands of catties?

Besides, Yin Changying has now accepted many beauties, although there are no high-ranking concubines yet, but there will always be one in the future, right? Sons and princesses were born one after another, and it is a matter of course, so you must always prepare a palace to live, right? Anyway, the house needs to be repaired and repainted, right? Once he made a queen, it was even more necessary to repair the palace and build new equipment to welcome the queen.

As long as Yang Xiu counted the amount of cinnabar that the royal family would ask for from Fan Jun in the next few years, he couldn't sleep at night.

She knew very well in her heart that Fan Jun's current output was definitely beyond her means, and the reason why she could still hand over the tribute was because of the previous inventory.

But this is not a long-term solution.

If the annual daily supply is maintained, the inventory may last for several decades, but the king's wedding, funeral, and major domestic events, such as the establishment of the crown prince and the worship of the heavens, etc., will be asked for additional cinnabar from Fan Jun.

Such activities, as long as they come a few more times, within ten years, the survival of the Lei family will be consumed.

If they can't meet the needs of the royal family, their Lei family will die in an instant!

Because of this, Yang Xiu fell to the ground, crying blood.

She told Yin Cheng how difficult it has been for the Lei family to open a mine over the years, and how many miners have filled in their lives, but they can't exchange it for a sufficient amount of cinnabar.

In order to open the mine, the Lei family transferred almost all the slaves to the mine, and handed over the heavy work such as farming and picking fruits to women. Once the mine collapses, it is every household wearing linen and filial piety.

In the past few years, the mine has collapsed several times, and thirty percent of the young and strong men have died, and they can't dig deeper, so these people have died in vain.

When Yang Xiu said that he was emotional, the palace people in the inner carriage had tears in the corners of their eyes, and Biao Wanzi was a little moved, feeling that the cinnabar mine was not only not a good thing for Fan Jun, but a great burden.

Only Yin Hui's expression was as indifferent as ever.

After Yang Xiu finished speaking, she said lightly: "I know, give a gift." ”

Biao Wanzi gave Yang Xiu the cloth that had been prepared a long time ago, but he was puzzled in his heart - can't such a tragic thing be tolerated by the public?

But she didn't know that after seeing Yang Xiu, Yin Cheng was silent for a long time, shaking her head while writing a letter to Yin Changying.
