Chapter 046: Questioning

Li Yuanwei, who was lying on the bed with his clothes untied, couldn't fall asleep for a while after thinking about it, thinking of the mystery of his life experience, he couldn't figure it out, Li Yuanwei took out the jade slip that the acting patriarch Li Tonghua gave at the beginning, and an old voice sounded again: "Young master, I know that you have cultivated spiritual power, and the iron tower I gave you was actually handed over to me by your grandfather before he died. Try first to see if you can get them to confess the Lord. I am relieved that the Jade Phoenix girl will be handed over to you, you have to be careful of Elder Taishang. Be sure to join the Imperial Duxiu Academy! ”

Where did the iron tower in Grandpa's hand come from? Why did Li Yujiao, who was in love with her, leave her so much? "Sauvignon Blanc is long-term memories, Sauvignon Blanc is infinite, I knew it was so stumbling, how could I not know each other at the beginning." Alas, wait until dawn!

After all, it was a teenager, Li Yuanwei, who had been tired for a few days, fell asleep drowsily, and at sunrise in the east, Li Yuanwei walked in the small garden in good spirits, and the dust on his body had been washed away.

"Young master, Lord Li Tonghua, the captain of the guard, asks to see you!" A servant woman hurried over to report it.

Li Yuanwei welcomed the captain of the guard, the original patriarch Li Tonghua into the living room, Li Yuanwei politely stepped forward to greet him, this Lord Li is the master of the Yufeng girl, and now he is also the first person in the real power faction under the ancestor of the Li family.

"Master Li, the kid is asking for advice on some unknown things, can I tell my grandfather about it?" Li Yuanwei asked respectfully.

"After you and Yuan Hu went to the academy this time, there are still many uncertainties in the ancestor's calculations. Under the convening of the ancestor, the Li family urgently convened a meeting of family elders and made many personnel adjustments, and the ancestor then brought the jade girl into the forbidden land, saying that he would accept the jade girl as a registered disciple, which was the first time in the history of the Li family, and the ancestor had never accepted apprentices before. Li Tonghua paused and said, "You may not know yet, Li Yujiao's father Li Tiemin was brought back to the family by the ancestor when he traveled from the Central Plains more than 30 years ago. ”

"And such things? So Li Tiemin is not a member of my Li family, but he served as the patriarch of the Li family? "Young Master Li Yuanwei of the Li family is even more confused this time, and he doesn't know what medicine is sold in the old ancestor's gourd.

"Young master, the ancestor gave a gag order when he took Li Tiemin back to the family, and when he came, Li Tiemin was still a hairy boy who had just turned twenty years old, and even I don't know the truth of this matter." Of course, the captain of the guard, Li Tonghua, will tell his young master one by one, "The ancestor said before this retreat that he would only come out in three years, I asked about your grandfather, and the ancestor said, when the time comes, everything will be revealed!" ”

Li Yuanwei was dumbfounded when he heard this, could it be that the thorn in his heart could not be pulled out until three years later? The stubborn Li Yuanwei was determined to deal with some trivial matters, and immediately went to the forbidden land to ask to see the ancestor.

Li Yuanwei, who knelt outside the entrance of the Li family's forbidden land all night, still didn't see the ancestor, the ancestor saw that Li Yuanwei had a bullish temper, sighed helplessly, and transmitted Li Yuanwei: "Idiot, idiot, non-ancestor doesn't see you, it's really the time has not come, you can go south to visit Lord Suzaku, be careful in everything, it's time to see everything!" ”

Seeing the face of the ancestor, Li Yuanwei knew that he couldn't do anything, so he got up and went to the Lin family and invited Lin Xiaoxian to explore the Li family iron mine together.

The two of them followed the captain of the guard Li Tonghua over a steep mountain col, the eyes suddenly became extremely open, the fierce cold wind raged, blowing up a large piece of dust, under the penetration of the sun, the illusion of colorful wonders, on the high mountain of thousands of square miles, a stone mountain as high as thousands of zhang like a sharp sword straight into the sky, built on the stone mountain, is thousands of huge stone houses. There is no city wall, a stone archway as high as dozens of zhang stands on the top of the mountain, the book "Lijia Iron Mine" four big characters, over the undulating mountains and mountains, not far from the valley, there is a formation light curtain.

Through the light curtain, you can see the small gathering place, where there are people living in various costumes, and children laughing and laughing. After a short pause, he continued into the depths.

After walking through dozens of gathering places, large and small, I came to a dark brown mountain that was thousands of feet high. Looking up, Li Yuanwei was stunned on the spot.

I saw a group of slaves being escorted into a cave not far ahead, driven in like ants. As I walked forward, I walked for most of the day, and I don't know how deep I dived, and the bloody resentment in the air became more and more intense, and even the bloody dew condensed on my body. There was a wet blood under his feet, and walking on it made a loud crack, except for the sound of chains colliding, there were cries of despair and the sound of terrible whipping.

"Captain Li, why do we have so many slaves in the Li Family Iron Mine, and where did they come from?" Li Yuanwei frowned and asked.

"Back to the young master, some of these slaves are prisoners of hostile forces who have fought against my Li family for many years, some are prisoners bought from the prison of Tianancheng, and some are the families of sinners bought in the slave market." Li Tonghua knows everything.

"The chief manager of the Iron Mine has come to see me." Li Yuanwei calmed down.

Hearing that the young master was coming to the mine, Li Tongwu, the chief manager, hurriedly trotted over to see. "Li Tongwu, the chief manager of the mine, saw Young Master Li and met the captain of the guard!" The big fat man Li Tongwu said respectfully.

"Manager Li, this mine is in charge of the housekeeper Li Yuanba, as the young master, I hope you can do some reforms, all the slaves you can drive, but treat them well. Starting today, they will be reorganized and allowed to be freely combined, with a foreman for every 10 people in a unit. They are directly managed by the foreman, and each miner can apply for one day off per month. The sub-mine chiefs sent by our Li Jiawei can register and manage these foremen. It is not permissible to arbitrarily punish and beat miners, and try to improve the living standards of miners. Li Yuanwei directly gave the order.

"Yes, young master, my subordinates will immediately convene a meeting of the mine chiefs and immediately arrange it for implementation!" This big fat man Li Tongwu is a very real person.

"Young master, these measures of yours will definitely improve the living conditions of the mine slaves and provide a boost to the sustainable development of our Li family." Captain Li Tonghua really admired it.

The three of them gradually entered the depths of the mine under the leadership of the mine manager, only to see that the light here was already weak, the air was dirty, and it was extremely hot. From time to time, the sound of mining slaves digging can be heard in the mine, and the mine caves are densely packed like cobwebs.

"Hey, what's going on over there, let's go over and see!" Li Yuanwei found something strange.
