"Lord Wang, the border is too far away from the imperial city, and it will take a week for the lower officials to send people back and forth, during this period, can the prince release the Qian family first, or only the head of the Qian family."

"Why, Lord Governor, what do you mean by that? Arrange for this king to do things? Nan Wuyang sneered.

"Xiaguan doesn't mean this, Xiaguan just thinks about the people, Xiaguan ......"

"That's it!" Nan Wuyang waved his hand, "If you talk about the problem of grain, then you don't have to worry, as soon as the morning dawns, there will be caravans coming to the border to sell grain, and the price is lower than that of the Qian family." ”

The faces of the border officials turned pale, and as soon as Nan Wuyang's words came out, it was equivalent to cutting off their back roads.

The people waited for dawn with a skeptical attitude, and sure enough, as Nan Wuyang said, there was a caravan to sell grain, and the price was lower than that of the Qian family.

He was not too surprised by the officials' request, the Qian family was able to be supported by the border officials to become bigger today, in addition to the support of money, there must be extraordinary means to make the border officials obey them, and only by holding the officials' families can the officials die to the ground.

It's easy to save people, Nan Wuyang found out the means of the Qian family at once, the family members of the officials are hidden by the Qian family in a temple thousands of miles away, and they only send people back during the New Year's holidays, if someone doesn't want to cooperate with the Qian family, the end is nothing more than being wiped out by the Qian family.

Originally, the matter in the border area should have ended here, but before Nan Wuyang and Liu Qianwen planned to go back, the emperor actually asked people to send a holy decree over 800 miles urgently, which roughly meant that the emperor was very satisfied with Nan Wuyang's achievements and asked him to continue to stay in the border area to investigate the problem of corrupt officials.

"It seems that the royal brother wants to uproot the corrupt officials in the border areas." Nan Wuyang was puzzled in his heart, generally corrupt officials are repeatedly prohibited, and it is rare to give such a heavy hand.

Even if there is, it is just that the emperor wants to kill chickens and monkeys, kill a local corrupt official, and deter officialdom, but not long ago, he took advantage of the problem of the Licheng flood to make a heavy hand, why would the emperor be so concerned about the affairs of the border land.

Nan Wuyang flexed his fingers and tapped lightly on the tabletop, and Liu Qianwen asked when she saw this, "The border land is a small place from the geographical point of view, but the emperor insists on moving the mountains to trade, and he also wants to build roads here in the border area, and the intention is very intriguing." ”

The border land is adjacent to Rakshasa and other countries, and the mountains here can be said to be a natural barrier that can protect the border land from enemy invasions, and she has observed that the problem of trade is not like the emperor's expression of the inability to trade, but the emperor insists on leveling the mountains for trade, and there is a big problem.

Nan Wuyang didn't think much about it, and it wasn't until the news of the Imperial City came that he realized what the problem was.

Gold mine! There are gold mines in the borderlands! However, the emperor did not know where the specific location of this gold mine was, which was a secret passed down from generation to generation by the emperor of Nandu.

After Nan Wuyang informed Liu Qianwen about the gold mine, Liu Qianwen sighed, "It seems that the emperor really wants to expand the territory, and with the support of the gold mine, the military salary and everything have been settled." ”

"Yes." Nan Wuyang nodded, "But the problem of the gold mine is a secret, this king has to investigate and hide people's eyes, what should I do?" ”

"Simple, let's first check the possible places where the gold mine exists, and then go to those places to investigate in person." Liu Qianwen didn't care.

"How to investigate? There are so many mountains here, and it is possible to find the gold mine anywhere, and it may be possible to find it by sending a large army, but in this way, it is impossible to keep the gold mine secret. ”

Nan Wuyang's worries are not unreasonable, but Liu Qianwen didn't expect that the ancient technology was so poor, and even knowledge was so scarce, and she didn't know where the gold mine existed.

Liu Qianwen said to Nan Wuyang very vaguely, you can imagine how shocked Nan Wuyang was.

"Qianwen, how did you know this?" Nan Wuyang asked.

Liu Qianwen said the wording that she had already thought of, "I once heard an old gentleman mention this knowledge, and I haven't really practiced it, after all, gold mining is illegal." ”

Nan Wuyang looked at Liu Qianwen suspiciously, and didn't say much, "In that case, this king will immediately send someone to check." After speaking, Nan Wuyang summoned Mao Lian and asked Mao Lian to investigate.

Soon, Mao Lian had news that the mountain that had been blown up was in line with Nan Wuyang's description.

Nan Wuyang immediately informed Liu Qianyang of the news, and Liu Qianyang immediately made a decision and immediately went to the bombed mountain with Nan Wuyang to check the situation.

Externally, Nan Wuyang was dissatisfied with the governor's efficiency, and simply let the 10,000 elite soldiers he brought be stationed around the mountain, so you can imagine how angry the governor of the border area was when he learned about it.

When Nan Wuyang sent troops to search, there were many figures gathered around the mountain to inquire about the news, which made him have a guess that the gold mine in the border area is likely to have an owner!

Therefore, they thought that they were safe to blow up the mountain, maybe they accidentally injured innocent people, thinking of this, Nan Wuyang's heart became more and more guilty, and he went back to the other courtyard to inform Liu Qianyu of his guess. Love me

"Wu Ding, you can find out whose hands the gold mine is now." If the gold mine is ownerless, what do those who inquire about it say? This is by no means unfounded, gold mines exist.

"Yes!" Wu Ding took the order and left.

Check and check, he still has to do the preparations, he turned around and found the governor of the border land, mining gold is definitely not a trivial matter, if there is a gold mine owner, it is the governor of the border land who can hide this matter, but Nan Wuyang did not mention the gold mine to him.

Instead, he asked the governor of the frontier to borrow troops, saying that he had found bandits around the mountain, and he wanted to suppress them.

"Lord Wang, this ......" The governor of the border land didn't dare to agree to Nan Wuyang, for fear that he would open his mouth, so he asked cautiously, "I don't know how many soldiers and horses the prince wants to borrow." ”

"Five thousand." Nan Wuyang stared at the governor of the borderlands, and his eyes made the governors of the borderlands tingle.

"Lord Wang...... "The governor of the border area is in trouble, doesn't Nan Wuyang have heavy troops, and he also brought 10,000 elite soldiers over, why do you want to borrow troops from him?" The soldiers he can mobilize are only 10,000 at most, and he was borrowed by Nan Wuyang for 5,000 at once, cough cough, he doesn't dare.

"Very well, if you don't agree, then the king will let the garrison in." Nan Wuyang said coldly.

He had already told the governor of the border area about the garrison before, and the governor was also very disgusted with this problem, but now Nan Wuyang suddenly mentioned it, which made the governor feel that Nan Wuyang could change his mind, and he was even more sure that Nan Wuyang said that the emperor wanted to garrison, and it must be Nan Wuyang's nonsense.

But since ancient times, the military and the government have been separated, and he has a lot of contradictions with the generals of the garrison.

If it wasn't the emperor's intention to let the garrison enter the borderland, and Nan Wuyang really let the garrison in, it would definitely push him, the governor, to come out and carry the black pot, he wouldn't dare.

After thinking about it, the governor still borrowed it, and the efficiency was still very high, and it was handed over on the same day.

With these 5,000 elite soldiers, Nan Wuyang went to the mountains to 'suppress bandits' in a grand manner, caught a lot of bandits, and as soon as he caught people, Nan Wuyang handed them back to the governor with the army and people.

The Governor watched this group of 'bandits' make trouble, and these bandits were all his people! The one who guards the gold mines of the frontier for him! He was even more entangled in his heart, what did this Nan Wuyang mean.

Soon, Nan Wuyang let the matter of Wuding's investigation have a result, and the gold mine is in the hands of the governor of the border land and the Qian family! "No wonder he kept the gold mine thing a secret."

Now that the Qian family has fallen, as soon as Nan Wuyang leaves, the governor of the border area will become bigger, Nan Wuyang sneered, it seems that he still has to find a chance to investigate the governor's problem.

After the emperor uprooted the corrupt officials here, he should have arranged for his henchmen to enter the borderlands, originally Nan Wuyang was dealing with the governor and the Qian family, and the emperor didn't think about telling Nan Wuyang about the gold mine with Nan Wuyang, but Nan Wuyang decided to go back to the imperial city and had no choice but to say it.

Nan Wuyang was in a low mood, "It seems that the imperial brother has not fully trusted me. ”

"Okay, the emperor hasn't been hiding from you, if the emperor doesn't trust you, he won't send you to deal with the affairs of the borderlands, right?" Liu Qianwen comforted softly.

To investigate the details of the governor of the border area, no one is more suitable than Mao Lian and Du Zhen, they are people in the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes are widely distributed, so Nan Wuyang and Liu Qianwen borrowed people.

The two lived up to Nan Wuyang's expectations, and soon found out the old background of the governor of the border land, and to Nan Wuyang's surprise, the governor of the border land turned out to be a mountain bandit! Nan Wuji once wanted to recruit the governor of the border land, but he did not succeed, and at that time Nan Wuji only thought that the governor was loyal.

Thinking about it now, I am afraid that I thought that the governor of the border area had already mastered the gold mine at that time, and I am afraid that the emperor was already suspicious at that time, so after the matter of Nan Wuji was resolved, the emperor sent him to the border area to investigate the corrupt officials in the border area.

The governor of the border land was born as a mountain bandit, which greatly alleviated the trouble for Nan Wuyang to deal with him, but the matter of the governor of the border land could not be directly brought out and talked about, and could only be regarded as the last grass that crushed the camel.

"Wuyang, when we came, did all the residents who were driven away come back?" Liu Qianwen asked.

Nan Wuyang shook his head, "After killing Qian Feng, I saw that many people had returned, and I didn't investigate in depth. He had to forget, and he only remembered that he was negligent when Liu Qianwen talked about it.

"The residents' affairs can be used as an entry point, and we can also check the accounts, about the accounts of the border land." Liu Qianwen said, "The emperor allocated funds for disaster relief, there should be a record of the officials' disaster relief, if not, then it is time to ask the governor of the border area what is going on." ”

With Liu Qianwen's suggestion, Nan Wuyang immediately took him to the Governor's Mansion to check the accounts.

When the governor of the border area heard Nan Wuyang's request for an account audit, his heart was flustered, his face showed nothing, he thought for a long time, and refused to reply to Nan Wuyang.
