At this time, inside the palace.

The emperor was approving the fold, and suddenly saw a fold that said that iron ore had been found in several places in the north, and he immediately smiled.

"If you really want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow."

"It's just that the northern border is a little more stable now, if more people can go there to multiply and settle down, there will be a lot less territorial strife in the future."

After muttering to himself, he immediately gathered a few ministers and decided to find a suitable person to lead his men and horses to the north to station, mining by the way, and housing miners.

In addition, if the family members go with the absenteeism, they can also reduce the tax, and if they settle there for a few years, there is a silver subsidy.

As soon as this order came, the ministers also agreed with it.

After discussing for a while, they finalized the candidate, it was Lin Rufeng.

The reason is that Lin Rufeng was famous in the Northern War, and in the later period, he was almost second only to Qi Jingxing, sending him to the Northern Border, he could suppress people, and this was a person with no identity background, if he went, he could reduce a lot of trouble and interest connection, and he could also do his errands well.

The deeper reason is that Lin Rufeng was born as an orphan, so he was just able to be a pure minister, and sending him out was also more conducive to his promotion, and he was able to confront the family, so as to stabilize the imperial power.

Thinking of this, the emperor personally summoned Lin Rufeng in the middle of the night.

After seeing Lin Rufeng's appearance, even though the emperor knew that he was still a child, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Such an immature child, killing people on the battlefield is so terrifying, so brave, I really don't know how to do it.

After he said the order to dispatch, he thought that Lin Rufeng was not far away, after all, the place was really bitter cold, and there was nothing, and he had to go to open it up in person, few people could endure that kind of hardship, but Lin Rufeng suddenly knelt down in the place, looking very excited, and immediately responded to this errand.

Seeing this, the emperor was very satisfied, and at the same time reminded: "Child, the place you are going to is deserted, and some of them have to start all over again, it is very bitter, are you sure you can persevere?"

"Back to the emperor, I can hold on!"

He raised his head and looked at the emperor seriously and firmly, "Wechen is not afraid of hardship, Wechen is only afraid that he is useless and cannot share the worries of the emperor and the court, besides, with the support of the imperial court, and the soldiers follow me, how can it be regarded as suffering?" At that time, it is the miners who will really suffer hardship, and they will do the most tiring work, and I hope the emperor can be more sympathetic to these ordinary people."

Hearing him say this, the emperor was even more satisfied and moved, and said three good words in a row.

"I didn't expect that your young grade would have such an awareness and thoughts, it's good, I didn't misunderstand you, I believe in you, and I will definitely live up to my expectations."

After speaking, he stood up, picked up a painting with his own seal from the table, and then walked down and handed it to Lin Rufeng in person.

"You take this painting."

Lin Rufeng was flattered, and hurriedly took the painting, and found that there was a big pillar painted on it, and above the pillar, it was like a cloud palace, and there were dragons and phoenixes flying.

"I hope that you will become a pillar to protect the court and the country like this painting in the future, and you must not live up to my hopes, child!"

After speaking, the emperor patted him on the shoulder, and his originally majestic eyes revealed a sense of exhaustion.

"I'm getting old, this court is much more corrupt than before, my children only think about the throne, but they can't think of the world, they are still too young, they need people's assistance, I hope that you can help my children to stabilize the country."

Lin Rufeng stared at the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of him, his pupils were shocked, and his eyes were red.

He never thought that such a small lieutenant could be able to reach the emperor's blue eyes, and even be able to reach the emperor's imperial brush painting, what an honor and what a trust.

Thinking about it, he kowtowed, and the ground thumped.

When I raised my head again, my eyes were full of determination.

"Your Majesty, the minister will definitely not let you down

If you live up to your expectations, you will never be able to live up!"

Seeing this, the emperor nodded, waved at him, and said that he was tired, and asked him to leave first, and he would be ready to leave in two days.

When Lin Rufeng left, the emperor sat on the collapse and let out a sigh of relief.

Now that the court is so loyal and capable, and can completely obey orders, and there are too few people who have no other ideas, he feels that he has little time left, so he tries his best to catch what he can.

How could he show favor to a little lieutenant before?

However, he also had some sincerity in what he said just now.

He sincerely hoped that this kid could grow up completely and grow into a general who was stronger than Qi Jingxing, but more loyal than him, so that he could rest assured even if he was under Jiuquan.

The next day, the order came down.

Because Lin Rufeng was sent to the north, he was also responsible for mining, resettlement, and land development, and his official position was directly promoted to Zhonglang General, and he also served as the minister of the Qincha.

When the news spread, many people gloated.

This is not a good errand, and now in the past, I am afraid that I will not even have enough food and clothes, and who would take such an errand in a normal person.

But there are also many people who smell the oil and water.

If the iron ore mining goes smoothly in the later stage, as the official in charge, he will definitely be able to make a lot of oil and water, so some families began to think of ways to stuff their own people into the team.

In addition, when the notice to open a mine in the north was issued, many people responded to it.

After a disaster year, many people did not have enough to eat, and there was no guarantee that they would have a good harvest this year, thinking that they would be able to at least have a full bite to eat, so these people flocked to sign up.

Taking advantage of the two days of repair, Lin Rufeng arrived at Shen's house early in the morning.

"Look, what did I bring you?"

Lin Rufeng walked in with a smile, hid his hand behind his back, and smiled at Ruyue who was jumping and running over.

"I don't know."

Ruyue curiously wanted to look behind him, while guessing, "It's a little doll? Sugar gourd? What the hell is it?"

The soldiers who followed saw that Ruyue was in a hurry, and hurriedly reminded in a whisper.

"It's a meatloaf."

Ruyue's eyes lit up, and she immediately replied, "It's a meat pie!"

Lin Rufeng immediately turned his head and glared at the guy, and said very unhappily, "What are you doing here with you on vacation today? Rub rice? I'll pay for the food first!"

Several people laughed, and then looked at Ruyue happily.

"Of course we're here to see Sister Ruyue."
