After all, Yu Moji had been messing with Tu Lian and them for a long time, and he had more or less mastered the logic of these caravans. Hearing the boss mention this, Yu Mojian immediately understood what he meant, and immediately understood why he was called "boss".

If you control Chitose Gold, you control all the countries (Note 1). With the power support of the thousand-year-old gold, which far exceeds ordinary fuel, the army of the Great Qi Empire with the armor and equipment is already invincible on the battlefield. And since the Yanji drove from the front of the powerful to the homes of ordinary people, the almost magical effect of Chitose Gold has been known to the public, and it has soon become almost hard currency.

This mysterious fuel is not only the bloodline of the earth that the Tusu people have worshipped since ancient times, nor is it just the "Yunxing Golden Vein" that maintains the operation of the Yanjia and Yanji—it is almost the economic lifeblood of the Great Qi Empire.

Naturally, the government wants to monopolize it personally, known as the official camp, and it is hard to take this lifeline into its hands.

However, where the benefits lie, people tend to them. It is a felony for civilians to sell thousand-year-old gold without permission, but is it rare for civilians to sacrifice their lives and forget their deaths for profit? Traffickers are rampant, and punishment cannot be stopped.

What's worse is that although the Great Qi Empire itself also produces thousand-year-old gold, the mineral deposits cannot be called rich.

The reason why the Great Qi Empire was able to control the Chitose Gold was because of the tough technology that the surrounding countries could not match, and it had the ability to subdue the violent and one-point Chitose Gold Tube, and process it more stably and efficiently. Therefore, in the past, when the Great Qi Empire had not yet captured the barbarian lands rich in thousand-year-old gold, the other party only needed to cut off the circulation of thousand-year-old gold, and the empire could suffer a lot.

Nowadays, although these places have been annexed to the empire, such as the area around the Chilu Mountains, the mining areas are relatively concentrated and far from the hinterland of the empire. This is of course convenient in terms of control; It's a big trouble to transport.

As a result, the operation of Chitose Gold has gradually relaxed from the absolute control of the government to the official revenue and sales.

Those who have the ability to dig out the thousand-year-old gold, as long as they are willing to hand it over to the government, the government will be happy to earn an interest for nothing; If you are unwilling, it depends on whether the little thousand-year-old gold dug up can enter the eyes of the official.

Anyway, even if someone really plans to rely on the Chitose Jin Zhanshan to be the king, it is just a joke in the face of the strength of the Imperial Yanjia Army.

Therefore, if the boss wants to sell the thousand-year-old gold, the safest and most long-term way is to sell it to the government.

However, in the face of the monopoly control and exploitation of the empire, it is naturally more difficult to negotiate a price that does not make the seller give up the road of selling Chitose gold.

This boss, who seems to be calm all over his body, has made a strange move in this matter.

Yu Mochen heard it with his own ears, and he was talking about "the thousand-year-old gold produced in the snowy mountains".

Is it really possible to produce a thousand years of gold in the snowy mountains?

Based on the experience of Yu Moji in recent days, I am afraid that the answer is still unknown.

After all, even the "old horse" Dansang, who has been in and out of the mountains for a long time, only knows that there is a piece of millennial gold that is rumored to be buried in the legend of a fairy spirit, but he has never seen it himself - if anyone in the village at the toe of the snow-capped mountain has found a thousand-year-old gold in the mountain, the mountain people will never still make a living in the desperate and cheap way of being an "old horse".

But do people still believe that there is a thousand years of gold in the snow-capped mountains, and that there is something magical about this special kind of gold in it?

Yu Moji has heard too many such legends since he was a child.

Even if there are already people like Dansang and Tu Lian, they have the ability to walk to the top of Chilu Mountain; However, in the contest between the snow-capped mountains and the people, the snow-capped mountains still prevailed – how many people went forward and followed one another, and even their lives were left in the snow-capped mountains, while the mountains were still there (Note 2).

Therefore, the mysterious and deadly attraction of snow-capped mountains remains. And for the thousand-year-old gold in the mountains, or anything else from the snow-capped mountains, as long as the attraction of the snow-capped mountains remains, the magic and special features of these things are self-evident.

Even if this millennium gold is no different from the mineral deposits under the mountain, there are so many uncertain factors to blame in the process of gold mining, processing, and processing, who would question the millennium itself, which is said to have been tossed by the gods?

Yu Moji is quite sure that the boss's trick is to spread the origin of this thousand-year-old gold with the help of the government's system of squeezing profits.

Anyway, after the Xiliang official post, the caravan went on the official road. At that time, negotiate a suitable price, throw this miraculous Chitose gold, which is becoming more and more famous and gradually hot, to the government, and the deal will be done.

As for the thousand-year-old gold that this team brought down from the snow peak of Chilu Mountain, whether it was really originally produced from the snow peak, and who would risk their lives to investigate it in person?

Yu Moji was thinking about these things upside down in his heart, when a fork in the road suddenly appeared in front of him.

Or rather, they took a fork in the road. Because, the one forked out in front is closer to the appearance of the official road.

At the fork, there were already some carriages waiting there.

The boss said, "Xiao Zhang, Xiao Ding, take the goods with me to Xiliang Guanyi." He patted the shoulders of the few right-hand men who had always followed him, "Second brother, third brother, nephew, I have to bother you to go to the mountains and forests again." ”

Yu Mozhen thought that the boss was going to pass through Xiliang Guanyi frankly, but now that this one suddenly came, she didn't react for a while, and asked softly, "Then I...... Which side to follow? ”

"Of course, follow us." Xiao Zhang gave her a strange look.

Yu Moji was stunned for a moment, and suddenly turned around - the group that drilled the mountains and forests took the lead, and it was the boss's second brother and third brother and eldest nephew who took the lead, and Xiao Zhang couldn't get involved.

She is an outsider, and she still plans to choose a path by herself?

Yu Moji almost wanted to swallow back his stupid question.

The boss smiled kindly, "Actually, it's okay to go either way." What do you mean, Miss Theller? ”

"This ......" Yu Moji was startled again, his face was still hesitating, and his mind had already turned like a marquee.

Why did the boss split the team into two ways?

Those who take the official road carry the goods, and those who don't go on the official road are going to do?

Did the defamation case of the Xuanwei Division reach the Xiliang Guanyi? Is the deputy envoy still holding on to the accident on the way to his hapless daughter-in-law's marriage?

If she passes by the Xiliang Guanyi and is really unfortunate enough to run into the sea arrest paperwork, is there any room to escape?

"If the girl can't make up her mind," said the boss slowly, "I have an idea." ”

Yu Moji hurriedly put on a posture of listening to his ears, "Boss, please speak." ”

The boss said, "I want to ask you first, what are your plans for the future?" ”

"Little Woman......" Yu Moji has been in this team for a long time, and he unconsciously used their tone of saying that it sounds good and is called sour.

She had always felt that something was not quite right with this team. Now as soon as she said this, she suddenly understood.

Even though the boss is a kind, calm, frank and calm boss, why do all the people in the team never mention the word "I" when talking to him?

Could it be that these people only regard themselves as a vassal and a thing in front of the boss, rather than a real person with an assertive and conscious mind?

The boss asked her what she meant, did he really want to ask her what she meant, or did he just throw it away, and what followed was his own meaning?

Although Yu Moji still respected this boss very much, he suddenly became defensive in his heart, so he deliberately covered it up and said, "The little girl plans to go to the imperial capital to try her luck." ”

"Oh?" The boss said, "I have some ideas." But I wonder if you have already decided what you want to do? ”

"This ......" Yu Moji's heart had already flown to the Cardinal, but at this moment, he felt that he had to hide this matter, so he said, "I don't plan yet." ”

The boss said, "In the past few days, I have been observing you for a while. He said this frankly, as if he didn't notice Yu Moji's face turning red instantly, "Although you are just a girl, I heard that you are still injured, you have not delayed the trip at all, and you are very capable, and you are almost not inferior to these male generals under me." I think he's a talent. ”

Yu Mochen slandered what kind of talent this was, but since she had arrived in the east, she didn't want to stay on the extremely dangerous snow-capped mountains for a moment; Compared to the threat of death, what is a medicated wound?

She thought so in her heart, but hurriedly said, "The boss has won the award, and the little girl is ashamed." ”

The boss only waved his hand, "I don't know why you want to go to Chilu Mountain as a girl, but you must have suffered a lot when you think about it." This road is not easy to walk, and if you meet, it is fate. Since you don't have any specific plans yet, why don't you stay in my team for a few more days? If you think it's appropriate, stay and do it with me,......" he thought for a moment and made a relatively conservative promise, "At least you won't have to worry about eating and drinking in the future." ”

Yu Moji was a little inexplicable, and she didn't understand what the boss liked about her at all.

But even when she was too poor to eat, she didn't just want to eat and drink.

Two little figures seemed to pop up next to her ears. One said that this caravan not only saved her life, but also took her down the mountain, not to mention staying to do things with others, and it was right to work for each other; The other said that she should be a Yanshi in the future, not an errand worker, she is unwilling to live up to the kindness of the boss, and Yuan can live up to it casually with her kindness?

Yu Mochen was conflicted for a moment, and glanced up at the boss who was still waiting for her reply. Although she hadn't made up her mind yet, she didn't feel that it was good to leave the other party aside, so she asked, "Dare to ask the boss, what does this have to do with which way the little woman goes?" ”

She just asked in passing, but it seemed to touch on some key topic. The boss's smile unconsciously retracted a little when he saw it, and he only said, "If you have the heart to stay, then follow my second brother and third brother, so you can be familiar with it...... What we do. ”
