Chapter 468: Persecuted
However, Chen Mu's other subordinates were extremely alert, and stopped all those who intended to leave the camp to deliver news.
In the capital, Chen Mu's henchmen soon learned about the matter related to the officials of the Ministry of Industry.
They immediately took action to control the families who conspired with the officials of the Ministry of Industry with the intention of greedy for official silver, and found a lot of silver from the mansions of those families.
Those big families were raided and put in a dungeon, and there was no way out.
When Chen Mu received the letter, he was also satisfied and nodded again and again, yes, yes, he was worried that there was no money to settle the people.
These big families can also be regarded as contributing to the resettlement of the people, Chen Mu thought about it like this, hooked his lips and smiled coldly.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, now that all the officials who are greedy for official silver have been arrested, what should we do next?"
"The officials you sent to these camps to take care of the construction of trade routes have not yet arrived, so should we stay here for a few more days?"
"It's still up to the county magistrates to take charge of the camp for the time being."
Chen Mu shook his head.
"The county magistrates of several counties have been implicated in this incident, and I am not at ease when the county magistrates are sent to keep an eye on the camp."
"Let's stay here for a few days, bring the confidant officials here, the construction of this trade route is on the right track, and we will go back."
His men immediately responded.
"Can the whereabouts of those women who were sold be clarified, and whether those adults recruited the identities of the women traffickers?"
Suddenly, he remembered another important matter, and Chen Mu asked with a heavy face.
When his subordinates heard this, they also nodded and responded.
The news that I found out will be cleared in 1510.
"Those women were sold to a small town in Jiangnan, and it is said that there was a newly opened brothel that took all those women, and the person who opened the brothel was none other than that."
"It is the people of the family who conspired with these officials in the capital, their ancestral home is in the Jiangnan town, and the Jiangnan town also has a branch of their family."
So that's the case, Chen Mu sneered when he heard this, and immediately sent someone to send the news to the county order of the small town in the south of the Yangtze River.
The prefectural magistrate was shocked when he learned of this, and learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was personally watching the matter.
The county magistrate didn't dare to delay at all, and even if he sent a servant to take the brothel in that town and send those women back,
After all, it was a newly opened brothel, there were no customers, and the women had not been trained.
Therefore, they have been locked up in the brothel for the past few days, and they have been trained by the grandmother in the brothel, but they have not been violated.
Chen Mu saw that those women were all frightened, and Chen Mu felt a little helpless in his heart.
He shook his head silently, and was about to let the women be placed, when he saw that one of the women suddenly shook his body, and then fell to the ground with a thud.
Chen Mu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the woman's appearance, and he immediately glanced at the guards.
A guard stepped forward and helped the woman up, and when the woman's companion saw the woman's appearance, he also stepped forward with a distressed face and hugged the woman.
Chen Mu looked at the woman in a trance, a little stupid, frowning or not, could it be that she was stimulated in the brothel and was scared stupid?
Chen Mu frowned and asked.
If it's really stimulated, then you have to ask the doctor to come and take a look.
"It's not that he's being stimulated in a brothel, he's being stimulated by his brother's business."
"She has a younger brother, and when she was arrested by the officials of this camp and sent to the small town in the south of the Yangtze River, her younger brother followed our team all the way to rescue her sister from ......"
"However, her brother's whereabouts were discovered by the officials, who killed her brother and ...... in front of her sister."
One of the women sighed, and explained carefully what had to do with the woman who looked dazed.
Chen Mu frowned, nodded, and then sighed.
"Then you go to the camp where the people are housed to rest first, and I will have someone find a doctor to check on this woman."
"If it's just a momentary mental trance, you should be better by taking some medicine."
The women were stunned for a moment, and then looked at Chen Mu repeatedly.
Seeing this, Chen Mu waved his hand indifferently, but Chen Mu didn't take this matter to heart.
He took care of the camp again, and waited until it was late at night.
Chen Mu entered the tent and saw Meng Qing sitting at the table studying something.
He walked in front of Meng Qing, looked down, and realized that Meng Qing was studying the road map for building a trade route.
This route map was planned by him himself.
Chen Mu saw Meng Qing's fingers scratching on the drawing, he also raised his eyebrows in some surprise and said.
"What, do you have any thoughts on the construction of this trade route?"
When Meng Qing heard Chen Mu say this, she immediately laughed, and she nodded a little embarrassed.
"It's not an idea to say it's an idea, it's just a flash of inspiration, and my idea is not as good as His Royal Highness the Prince's idea."
Chen Mu smiled and patted the other party's shoulder.
"I can't say that, there are many ideas for the benefit of the country and the people, and for me, they are just a flash of inspiration."
"Can you tell me what you think about the trade route?"
Meng Qing pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this.
She raised her hand and pointed to the two small cities, and then drew a stroke between them.
Chen Mu saw her movements, his eyes moved slightly, and then he frowned.
"This trail not only has to go around the mountains, but it also has to cover more people's fields."
"If those fields are usurped, there will be less land for these people to cultivate."
"If you want them to find a job and talk about making a living, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Meng Qing shook her head.
She pointed up to the path, the villages she passed, and said.
"When I chatted with the people in the camp in the past few days, I learned that these villages are Orion Villages."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, have you seen the mountains around these two cities? The size of the mountain is not small, and it is said that there are many wild things in the mountain. ”
"These hunters live on these two mountains, and they have been inherited for more than 200 years now, and they are very old villages."
The wild animals on these two mountains can support the development of these Orion villages to this day, which is enough to see how rich the products on these two mountains are.
Chen Mu immediately understood what Meng Qing meant.
I see.
If it is Orion Village, then maybe those villagers do not make a living from farming.
And since it is Orion Village, these Orions must take out the prey they have hunted in their hands to trade in the city.
It would be very convenient to set up a small road here, and in addition to this, the two cities are also important transportation cities.
It's just that the city connected by two cities, one to the south and the other to the north, needs such a small road to connect.
Chen Mu thought about it for a while and nodded secretly.
