Chapter 170: After beating around the bush just to illustrate one thing
Xiu Yin has collected a lot of books, some magical, and many mainland history books similar to this "Chronicle of the Starlight Kingdom".
This book mainly records the history of the lords in the various fiefdoms of the Starlight Kingdom, and even a lot of family histories that no longer exist.
But Thuin searched through a book and couldn't find any story about the Neumanns.
Unusual, but it seems to have been expected by Shuin, except for a small part of the events that have been artificially forgotten in the memories of some of the elders.
But what Uncle Jack once said was something that Huin always remembered, that is, the Neumanns were once one of the golden families of the Starlight Dynasty.
Originally, there were supposed to be six golden families, but now, there are only five left, including Archduke Marvin Fidick, one of the royal family's relatives.
There are also four lords of the Great Dominion, Marquis Ferre Fraser, lord of the Dominion of Haidel.
Marquis Jarnais of the Nebula Dominion.
Marquis Gilard Gilsay, lord of the Dominion of the Mist Star.
The lord of the municipality of Yunlai Town is Marquis Ferdinand Lee,
The five of them are the five golden families in the Starlight Kingdom now, and they are also the families that control more than half of the power of the entire kingdom, and they are the backbone of the Starlight Kingdom.
Xiuin's left foot gently grinded twice on the newly rested masonry floor, and the hard ground made Xiuin think, "What is the connection between one of the vanished Golden Families, the Neumanns, and the ruins of this abandoned town......
At the end of spring and February, Xiu Yin once again sent a report on the political affairs of his domain to the royal capital, in which Xiu Yin mentioned his determination not to give up the excavation of mineral veins on the Slow Mountain.
Another month passed, and while Xiu Yin was quietly reading and thinking, his mental power unconsciously rose to level 6, and Hans and Charlotte also grew.
As summer approaches, it is also a very hot day in late spring.
Xiu Yin closed the book in his hand and placed the book on top of the stack of books that were already very high, these were all books that Xiu Yin had read.
"It's time too......"
Judging from the time, and judging from the remaining funds in his hands, it was time for Xiuin to dig up a vein.
With Mt. Gogu to the west, Mt. Rice to the east, and Otani Ridge to the south, Shuin decided to dig out the veins under the mountain to the east.
There are two reasons for this choice, the first is the location factor, the south is adjacent to the Rentterdam plain, once there are really orcs, the mining area will definitely be affected the most, the west is also not far from the border, and the east is the best consideration in the location, not only the location is relatively safe, but the important thing is that the mining area in the east is also convenient for transportation to the kingdom.
The second reason is that there are actually three veins in the hibernating rice mountains, two of which are very deep, just enough to continue digging after the first one, and if necessary later, Xiu Yin is deciding whether to do anything about the veins in the other two slow mountains.
Although he had already paid attention to the excavation of the ore veins, Xiu needed a reasonable reason for excavation, and he could not instruct the miners to work at the location he had designated, and the mineral deposits would naturally be discovered at a certain depth, which did not make sense.
Scratching his head, Xiu Yin walked out of his mansion towards the rice hills to the east.
Everyone is busy halfway up the mountain, and the gentle slope is not large, but it is indeed a good oriental natural barrier.
With Alice activated, Xiun quickly saw exactly where the digging site should be.
"Hello, Lord Lord!"
Seeing Xiu Yin approaching, several miners who were digging stopped their work and saluted Xiu Yin.
"Well, everyone's worked hard, what's going on down there?"
Xiuin walked to the edge of the mine and looked down, the shaft had been dug to a depth of nearly six or seven meters.
What Xiuin needs to do now is move the miners' working position above the one that owns the deposit.
How do you get them over......
When Xiuin stood up, he had already thought of a way.
He went to another place and called Hans over, Hans can be said to be the third person in the Morrowind Territory besides Xiuin and Reiner, he is righteous and capable, and Hans has a certain prestige in the eyes of the people.
"Xiuyin, what's the matter?" Hans saw Xiuyin come to the miners' place of work for the first time in more than a month.
"Over there, up in the mountains. Xiuin pointed to the east, and Hans knew that it was in the direction of Rice Mountain.
"I always felt that the miners were digging in the wrong position, but I was embarrassed to stop them when I saw that they had dug several meters deep. So I want Hans you to take a couple of people to another place to dig ......"
Hans felt that in the last two months, Xiu Yin seemed to have become a little mysterious, and he seemed to be able to know what was going on outside when he was reading a book in the mansion every day.
"There will be veins in that location you are talking about?" Hans wondered how Xiu Yin could be so sure.
Xiu Yin had already prepared his words, and replied to Hans, "Hey, I've been studying the knowledge in the book for the past two months, and I also have some experience with the ore vein, that location is just halfway up the mountain, where you only need to open a six-meter deep pit to reach the position almost above the ground, I think it will be more efficient to do this!"
Hans didn't quite understand what the mine was saying, and it seemed to make some sense to hear Huin say this, so Hans called a group of people to start digging in the place where Huin said.
Three days later, Hans reported to Huin that he had gone down about seven meters in his position, and no veins had been found.
Of course, if you just dig it up like this, it will be a vein, and the cultivation cause will be highlighted and predicted too accurately, attracting some unnecessary attention.
However, this position was very close to the location marked by Alice, and he only had to tell Hans, "Don't be discouraged, Hans, let everyone dig around and look around......"
One morning a week later, Xiu Yin was sitting in a comfortable wide chair reading a book as usual, when the door of the mansion was slammed open with a bang, startling Xiu Yin!
It was Reiner, who rushed into the hall with a red face, still panting for breath in his mouth, and he was running over.
Reiner's eyes were full of excitement and madness, and he stared at Xiu Yin excitedly, obviously he had something to shout, but he couldn't say it because he was too excited.
"Don't excite Uncle Reiner, take a breath, what's going on?" Xiuin put down the book in his hand and looked at Reiner with a smile.
"It's a mine, it's an iron mine!
