Chapter Eighty-Six: It's Night
Ignoring the people around them, several people rode back to the city before the gates were closed.
That night, a few people drank in the inn, and they went back to their rooms until they were drunk and hazy, and the inn was gradually full in the past few days, and the shopkeeper knew that it was the business brought by the three of them, so he took special care of it and sent a sobering tea.
The little two sent tea up, and put a bag of things on the table by the way, only to see my sister sitting at the table pretending to sleep, but she was not drunk.
It was night, and when they were near, the two quietly entered Hezhou's room.
He Zhou only lay down in his clothes, sat up gently, and whispered, "Tonight, I and Tianshen will go to a few traitors to check the account books and lists, your vacation is close to the stairs, you stay here first, there is something to deal with, we will come back tomorrow morning." ”
Seeing that the two of them were ready, knowing that this matter could not be discovered, He Zhou also nodded, "Don't worry, I can handle it." ”
The two took advantage of the night, one after the other, to go in a certain direction in the city. The purpose is actually just an ordinary courtyard, and those who know how to see it are afraid that they will be amazed, an ordinary courtyard that looks not big or small, but it is integrated with various mechanism formations.
Fortunately, the two of them are not ordinary people, in addition to their swordsmanship, their intelligence is also first-class, and some things are also thorough, and they have traveled all over the world, and they have also done some research on this. Usually wandering around dangerous places, ruins, and ancient tombs, not only using swordsmanship, but also working hard to crack the mechanism formation inside.
Although there are many of these machine formations, they are not very refined, and they are intended to trap ordinary masters, but as long as they are touched, they will definitely attract people.
However, the person who set up the mechanism formation should not have expected that there would be a top master who understands this way to break in.
The two of them carefully avoided the secret eyeliner, avoided the mechanism formation, the power was not great, but it was very dense, Ren is the top two, also spent a full column of incense, entered the courtyard, touched the warehouse, took out a thin silver hairpin, pounded a few times, the door actually opened, ignored the gold and silver treasures stored inside, avoided the mechanism, and groped in the warehouse.
Behind a pile of gold, a dark compartment was found, in which were several booklets, and Tianshen opened the small burden on his back, and took out two strangely shaped pens and two booklets. Three-quarters of them are thin bamboo poles, and a jet-black cylinder is made of fine ink, and there is no need to transfer water, which is a bit wasteful. and a specific map of the original city and a few house maps, which were sent by Xiao Er.
The two of them divided the labor, checked the account books, and took notes in their hearts while extracting important data and quickly transcribing them.
Rao is two people are extremely fast, this matter cannot be wrong, it also took a few hours, it is almost the time to finish writing, and when it comes out, it is relatively easy.
Rushing back to the inn, the sky was already slightly bright.
Hezhou practiced and waited for them to come back, "Someone came to test it last night, but they didn't dare to do it, and left quietly." ”
"It's okay, let's just have fun, let's go back to the room first. "Take a nap, and when it's time to get up on weekdays, a few people get up to practice as usual, and Xiao Er sends hot water to a few people on time as usual.
After breakfast, a few people were in the sister's room.
"Through the news collected by the people of King Jun and our family in the past few days, these people have been operating here for six years, secretly infiltrating until a thousand years, they should think that it is good to make a point up and down, start to act, lie about the output, and smuggle it out. ”
He Zhou stopped doing it when he heard this, "These people are planning to steal our Da Chu's things, we must find a way." ”
Tian Shen "The most important thing now is to find out the people behind the scenes, otherwise it can only be stopped for a while." ”
He Zhou also sounded reasonable, "That's right, as long as you find the person who stole it, how much you eat, you can make him spit it out." ”
Sister Yan put all the information together, "Don't get excited, there are more excessive things." ”
"Xiyuan is located on the border, which is a relatively poor and remote place in my Great Chu, and if it were not for various mineral deposits, most of them would be ignored. We checked before we came, according to the normal level of casualties and accidents, artificial speculation, it should be at least thirty percent higher than the normal year, but only seven or eight percent of the previous years were handed over, so that nearly one-third of the middle was smuggled away, and the other party's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and there will be more than these in the future. ”
Hearing this, He Zhou also understood that this matter was much more serious than he imagined, and mineral deposits were also the foundation of the country, and they were actually coveted and stolen a lot.
"According to the seventeen people who risked their lives to investigate, plus the account books we checked last night, etc., the casualties and accidents in the mines have not increased in the past three years, that is to say, it should be a normal level, but the casualties reported by local officials are very different, and the amount of money allocated by the imperial court and the workers allowed to be recruited have also increased by one percent. Secretly, they dragged some of the felons in the prison to the construction site, and sent people to deceive many ordinary people in various places with low prices, and also quietly dragged them to the mines, working day and night, and strictly guarding, those garrison troops, some of them were embarrassed, and some of them were deceived, and when they entered, it would be difficult to get out, so if it wasn't for King Jun's people, they didn't inadvertently find out, and the capital thousands of miles away would not be able to know. ”
Hearing that they were bullying the people like this, He Zhou couldn't wait to chop them up now, but it was still useless, so he had to press the killing intent and said coldly, "Then what can we do now, when the time you said is up, I must kill that animal." ”
Tian Shen pressed his shoulder, and when he came back to his senses, "We are just as angry, but the most important thing now is to calm down,"
"Hmm"
Sister Yan also reassured, "Don't worry, I sent a message to my father, he is proficient in business, let him help us find out these ores are secretly traded, transfer channels, and there will be news soon." ”
He Zhou didn't react for a while: "Your father?"
"Yes, my father Xie Yuan. ”
"That famous rich businessman from the Five Kingdoms, your family is so rich, poor that I can't even afford to buy wine, it's really more popular than people. ”
Sister Yan looked at him pretending, "If you get married one day, I'll give you a big winery, how about it, it's interesting enough." ”
"Tsk, it's very tempting, but I'm still free, I meet beautiful flowers, just appreciate and appreciate them, marry home, I don't do it." ”
Tian Shen hit seriously, "One day, someone will subdue you." ”
"You think I'm you, I'd better be a wanton prodigal. Okay, don't talk about me, are we just waiting here?"
Sister Yan frowned, "Naturally not, we have to take some action, find out as soon as possible, and save the people from suffering for a day and reduce their losses for a day." ”
"We came to Xiyuan under the banner of visiting the lonely seniors, your current identity has been valued, and this place is a place valued by the other party, every move affects the other party's mind. According to our previous habit of visiting various places, it is impossible to stay here for too long, otherwise it will really cause alarm. Tian Shen said his analysis, and he seemed very distressed.
"If we can't move, we'll lead each other to move. ”
Xie Du glanced at each other, just in time to take advantage of the other party, "You are really rare to be smart?"
"I've always been smart, okay?"
The two of them laughed and didn't say anything, as if they were determined to win, and in order to maintain their smart nature, they also made it look like they understood, and they only felt inexplicable in their hearts.
At this time, several people in Beijing also received a letter from Binzhou, and His Majesty the Emperor naturally received a copy, since ancient times, the post-disaster work has been difficult to solve, and now since someone has proposed, then it is half of the people to go, and this matter has been handed over to His Royal Highness King Jun, who has become more and more capable in recent years.
The two of them who had expected this matter couldn't smile bitterly, and it was easy to say that they were raising money and donating materials, but this time they wanted each family to hand over the sweet potatoes in the garden, which was also funny, but His Majesty's headache has become more and more serious recently, and it is also a good thing to be able to share his worries.
Sweet potatoes are easy to grow, but this potato is rarely planted in Dachu, and it is necessary to find professionals, otherwise it will be a sin if the people are full of hope and disappointment.
So King Jun set out to collect sweet potatoes from various families for seeding, Xie Ling went to Master Sinong to learn more about potatoes, and the two secretly sent people to the Jin Kingdom as ordinary merchants to prepare to buy enough seeds to come back as long as it was feasible.
Originally, I thought it shouldn't be too difficult, but Jun Wang Que hit a wall, this sweet potato, in Beijing, is only available to most powerful people, and it is also a certain embodiment of financial identity, how can it be given to ordinary people, let them plant. This kind of obsessive sense of superiority is really ridiculous.
But it was originally people's own things, and they couldn't be robbed by force, and they couldn't be searched from house to house. Everyone knew that King Jun was ordered to collect sweet potatoes, and they were also curious, but their first reaction was not to give it, and it seemed that something that was not important had suddenly become a treasure.
King Jun wrote a few posts, to a few familiar and sensible family owners in Beijing, read the posts, without saying a word, directly asked people to hand over all the inventory, from the street car by car to the county king's mansion.
Although the emperor is not a calligrapher, he is also regarded as a treasure, and other families have seen it, and they all started to send their sweet potatoes to the county king's mansion in an endless stream, and the sweet potatoes in the world have also been bought.
Some people say that they are not willing to eat any of them, these guys usually eat the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but now they regard the small sweet potato as a treasure, but as long as it can be used as food, what is not a treasure.
However, the inventory is still not much, and it is only 200,000 catties when it is full, and the most variety is more than 2,000 acres of land, which is far from enough.
Xie Ling turned to the county king's mansion in the middle of the night, and was startled, the treasury couldn't put it down, and there were several piles in the yard, and he wanted to laugh inexplicably, so he couldn't help but smile and found King Jun.
The two suddenly looked at each other and smiled, Xie Ling laughed so much that tears were about to come out, "I didn't expect His Royal Highness the dignified Jun Wang to be like a sweet potato seller now, haha." ”
"What's this, isn't Lord Xie going to resell potatoes in the future?"
There was another burst of laughter, and it was finally stopped, "Si Nong studied for a long time, and said that potatoes can be planted, this is the planting method, and there is still the amount needed, you write the silver to Your Majesty earlier, I will send someone to contact, buy it back as soon as possible, and sow it earlier." ”
took the paper he handed over, and silently calculated in his heart, "I didn't expect that one day I would have to calculate how many kinds of land should be planted, how much can be harvested, and how many people will be enough to eat. ”
"If your wish comes true in the future, you have to worry about more than that. ”
