Later, Zhang Xing took the opportunity to go to the county to sell game, and found out the news of the county magistrate Wei Hongyun.

Zhang Xing combined the news from the inquiry with the plot he saw from the system. came to a conclusion: this person is also a member of the unlucky army that was affected by Zhang Liu's broom star.

Wei Hongyun, the leader of the Great Zhou Zhaoguang for 13 years, when everyone wanted to squeeze into the Hanlin Academy, he took the initiative to ask for decentralization, wanting to really do something for the people. In the two years he was in office, he dug ditches and roads, opened academies, and did practical and good things for the people. But he didn't know the art of gift-giving, so he only brought some souvenirs to Shangfeng for the New Year.

Although Shangfeng didn't say anything, his face was pale, and of course his assessment of Wei Hongyun was quite bland.

After three years of assessment, Wei Hongyun stayed.

Two years later, Mutuo blew up the levee, affecting 18 counties downstream. Wei Hongyun was held accountable, and he only had to settle accounts after the disaster.

Immediately, the prince sat in Fenglin County for disaster relief.

Wei Hongyun was allowed to make meritorious contributions, and was later appreciated by the prince, who originally thought that he would take the Qingyun ladder from then on, and he could show his ambitions.

However, dreams are fragile.

The plague broke out, and the prince died. He was pushed out, made a scapegoat, a punching bag. Since then, his career has been completely cut off, and his life has come to an end.

And the unlucky prince who died of the plague has a good reputation, benevolent and loving the people, frugal and elegant, and quite virtuous.

The most important point is that in the 10th year of Zhaoguang, a large number of people were requisitioned and transferred due to the mining of gold and silver mines in southern Fujian, and under the long-term high-pressure labor, the life of absenteeism could not survive for 5 years. As a result, a large number of people fled southern Fujian, labor was lost, fields were abandoned, and taxes in southern Fujian could not be collected for a time. The prince sent a letter to recruit felons, death row prisoners, and exiles from all over the country to open mines on behalf of the common people. Teeyun.

And this prince is currently visiting Lin Daru, who is quite famous in Shilin and has many protégés in Xinyi Mansion. In his previous life, Zhang Song also worshiped under Lin Daru, and he was finally able to worship a product and rank as a scholar, if there is no reason for Lin Daru, Zhang Xing does not believe it.

This news is still only circulating among the upper officials, and it is not known to everyone, and Zhang Xing also heard about it from the mouth of a drunk merchant.

The merchant was a distant relative of his cousin's brother-in-law who worked as a courtier in the Confucianism. When he went to Xinyi Mansion to buy goods, he drank wine with this relative who had made eighteen turns, and during the banquet, he heard this relative boast that there were distinguished guests in their house in the past few days, and said that he was a distinguished guest that you could not even think of. Under the repeated questioning of this merchant, he proudly said that he was the prince of the dynasty. This merchant doesn't believe it, who can believe it?! Will the prince be able to come to their little place one day? This relative saw that he didn't believe it, so he hurriedly said that even the prefect of Song had come to visit him in person, and he heard with his own ears that the prefect was called the noble prince.

Then this will be easy to do, with the prince here, at least, there is no need to worry about the news of the silver mine leaking out, and the government will recruit people to open the mine in the local area. In addition, it can be regarded as giving Wei Hongyun a ladder for promotion, so it is better to have more good officials who are diligent in government and love the people, and are willing to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

In the evening, Wei Hongyun returned home and found a letter written on the desk by Wei County.

“…… While chasing his prey, he strayed into a mountain forest, and found people from other countries in it, about 150 absentees in the mountains, where they mined silver ore and poured it into silver ingots and transported it...... Although I am a man of the mountains and wilderness, I also know how the wealth of my Great Zhou can be stolen by the people of other countries. Zhida is known as the blue sky. Therefore, I have come to tell you...... This is a topographic road map drawn by me, and adults can take people into the exploration according to this...... There are a large number of people on the other side, and I hope that the adults will be cautious......"

After reading this letter, Wei Hongyun sat on the chair for a long time and did not move, he had already asked the housekeeper just now, and he didn't find that anyone had approached or entered the study, so how did such a letter appear here out of thin air. Although the guards in his house are not strict, but in the blue sky and daylight, he wants to put the letter into his study unconsciously, and this person's ability can be seen.

The contents of the letter were so appalling that not only did people from other countries appear in the counties under his rule, but also opened silver mines in them. If this matter is not handled well, he will be guilty of negligence in supervision. But if it is dealt with well, he can also be guilty of meritorious service.

How to deal with this matter, he has to think about it.

Early the next morning, Wei Hongyun went to visit a dart game he was familiar with, and two days later, when Wang Darthead returned. He sat in a carriage overnight and hurried to Xinyi Mansion.

Half a month later, the imperial court issued a letter of state to hold Dongmu accountable, and his second prince Mu Tuo privately opened the silver mine of the Zhou State, demanding compensation of 1 million taels of silver, 50,000 horses, and 50,000 cattle and sheep. And the reason why the imperial court dared to open his mouth so blatantly was mainly because when he was rounding up the silver mine, he caught Mu Tuo, the seventh prince of Dongmu, who came to "inspect"!

Mu Tuo did not come here to "inspect" the silver mines. When he was born, the domestic witch predicted that he would bring great light to Dongmu, after he ascended the throne in the previous life, because of the existence of Zhang Liu, Da Zhou and Dong Mu opened trade, Dong Mu exchanged his cattle and sheep for grain and cloth in Da Zhou. So that no one would starve to death in Dongmu in winter, they also found several crops suitable for planting with the help of Da Zhou, and slowly developed. Da Wu once said that his "chance" was in the reckless mountains southwest of the Great Zhou. So since he was sensible, he sent people to the southwest of the Great Zhou every year to search, and after 13 years of searching, although he did not find the so-called "chance", he found silver mines in the mountains near Fenglin County. The Great Witch also said that the Great Light has been opened. Therefore, he will come to Da Zhou in person every year, wanting to meet the opportunity that belongs to him to soar for nine days as soon as possible.

After a month-long struggle between the two countries, Dongmu finally ransomed their hope of Dongmu, the seventh prince Mu Tuo, at a price of 500,000 taels of silver, 30,000 horses, and 50,000 cattle and sheep.

Due to Dong Mu's loss this time, after Mu Tuo was ransomed, he was attacked by his brothers and sisters. Because Mu Tuo was born and was prophesied by the Great Witch to bring great light to Dongmu, he had a high status and special treatment since he was a child, which caused other brothers and sisters to be dissatisfied. Now, what great light has not been seen, Mu Tuo has brought such a big loss to Dongmu! Can they not get excited? One by one, they were gearing up, trying to pull Mu Tuo off the horse.

At the same time as the two countries were torn apart, the imperial court also issued an edict to requisition and transfer felons from all over the country, and the exiles went to Fenglin County to open mines. The crown prince was instructed to oversee the matter.

Fenglin County ordered Wei Hongyun to be promoted two levels in a row. At the same time, he was also appreciated by the prince as in the plot.

The government around the silver mine was guarded by troops, and the people were not allowed to approach, but ordinary people could not go that deep even if they hunted.

*

When Zhang Xing went to the county to sell prey, he heard some of these news piecemeal. Regarding the court's behavior of exchanging Mu Tuo for silver, cattle, sheep and horses, Zhang Xing was quite relieved.

Let you run the big week to mine our silver mines!

Let you blow up the river embankment, and we will be displaced and die in a foreign land!

Let's see if you will ascend to the throne as smoothly as in the plot after you go back this time.

Should!

Zhang Xing's heart is happy, but Zhang Liu's side is not happy.

Since she said some "unintentional words" that night, although her brother also took care of her the next day, she obviously felt that her brother was no longer as concerned about her as before, and even a little cold.

In order to save her brother, she originally planned to make some small explosives according to the local method, so that she could hunt some large prey, and after selling it for money, her brother would not be angry with her.

However, since everyone knew that Zhang Xing's dead girl was a ginseng dug up in the mountain, there were many more people on the mountain, and they walked back and forth on the mountain, thinking that maybe when they would find another ginseng.

Now she looks at these villagers, not only stupid, but also whimsical.

Zhang Liu pursed his lips and thought disdainfully, ginseng is not a cabbage, and you want to find another one, why don't you dream.

However, these stupid people also hindered her plans to make explosives.

The places she dared to go were all people, and she didn't dare to go where there were no people, so her plan to make money by making explosives was temporarily put on hold. This made her depressed for several days, and cursed fiercely in her heart that Zhang Xing would better meet a herd of wild boars next time, be chased, bitten, and turned into meat skewers by the fangs of wild boars!

Zhang Xing said: The wild boar herd is good, these are all silver ingots, and it just so happens that my money bag has been a little deflated recently.

Finally, a year later, the villagers' enthusiasm for going up to the mountains to find ginseng faded, and she began to try the local method to make explosives.

Belch...... Zhang Liu scratched his head, what is that ratio?

When she ran out of materials, she still hadn't made the explosives!

And then she! Not! Money! Finish!

She couldn't even afford a copy of the material now, and the experiment was interrupted again.

In her previous life, she was able to successfully make explosives, but now that the ginseng is gone, and the silver given by Zhang Xing's grandfather is kept by her brother, naturally there are not so many materials for her to experiment again and again.

Zhang Xing said, this is really gratifying!

After Zhang Liu asked Zhang Song for money twice, Zhang Song began to interrogate her about what she wanted to buy and why did the money spend so quickly? Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, Zhang Song stopped giving her money, and if she wanted something, he would buy it for her. No matter how she begged or behaved, Zhang Song didn't agree.

Depressed, she ran into the mountains, kicking the grass on the ground hatefully as she walked, "Others are opening restaurants, visiting green buildings, meeting the male protagonist, saving the male partner, surrounded by all kinds of beautiful men, and I was born in this small broken mountain village!" Not to mention the male protagonist and male partner, I haven't even seen a decent man! Do you want to be a village girl in the small Zhangjia Village for the rest of your life? ”

Wait, who's that guy up front? Looking at the clothes doesn't look like ordinary people, this ...... Is this his own male protagonist or male partner?
