By the 8th, the magistrates of the various cities had gathered in the Ox, and they all learned that they would receive three times the amount of money for copper mining.

Of course, this kind of important matter has to come in person, since the Tang army marched east and north, they have not seen each other for a long time.

As soon as they met, they greeted each other, and Chen Jiao naturally arranged for the senior brothers to get food and lodging.

But such intimacy does not give them any humility.

The stubborn stone sat in the corner, in such a lively occasion, he was a little at a loss, after hearing that the stubborn stone came to the Fire Cow City, the spring silkworm wanted to accompany the stubborn stone to complete the bidding, the spring silkworm explained the matter to Meng Biao, and Meng Biao readily agreed.

Chun Silkworm knew that even if he was by his side, it would be impossible to fight for other cities with Longshan City, and he had only made the stubborn stone less overwhelmed in the past.

Also feeling anxious is Fan Qingyan, because Li Chengzhou hasn't come back yet, and it's going to be dark, this guy won't forget the time with the tomahawk, right?

Even if it was too late to send someone to urge them now, I shouldn't have let them go if I knew it, and if I couldn't come back, wouldn't it be over?

"Qingyan, why do you look so anxious? You don't have to participate in this competition, but then again, you should have brought it up, right? It's a really good idea, and everyone is involved and wants to pick up the slack. ”

Fan Qingyan shook his head: "This is really not what I proposed, it was proposed by His Majesty." ”

Everyone praised it, and this move directly mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.

Why hasn't this kid Li Chengzhou come yet, if he doesn't come, he can only delay this matter later.

Just as Fan Qingyan gritted his teeth, his guards came over and told Fan Qingyan in his ear.

"Your Majesty has just entered the city through the West Gate."

"Let him wash up and come back."

"Yes!"

The gloom on Fan Qingyan's face dissipated, and he looked at the senior brothers in front of him with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Your Majesty will be here soon."

Li Chengzhou hurriedly entered the Fire Bull City, he set off overnight last night, and only then did he arrive at the Fire Cow City before dark, this time he was all on the road, and he was still too tired to go, so he didn't go if he knew it.

The tomahawk next to him is also tired, and his pressure is no less than that of Li Chengzhou these days.

Just as they were about to go directly to the main hall, a soldier came to remind him.

"Your Majesty, Master Fan just said, you wash up first before you go over."

"Ah, he still thinks I'm ashamed."

"Brother Chengzhou, that's right, we really have to go wash up."

Li Chengzhou looked down at his clothes, which were already in tatters hanging from the branches in the forest on the way to the road, and his clothes were also covered with mud and dust.

"Then go wash up."

Li Chengzhou washed himself, and then entered the main hall with the battle axe.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

Prefectural orders from all over the country stood up.

"Aiqing has worked hard, and they rushed over from other places."

"I guess you already know about copper mining, right?"

"Back to the emperor, we already know."

"That's good, presumably you should know the benefits of getting mining rights before you set off, and I won't repeat it here, you came from afar, and you have been waiting for me in the main hall for so long, it's really hard for you Aiqing."

"If there is nothing to do, let's retreat, you go back and rest early, the senior brother has not seen him for many days, there must be a lot to say, or if you have any ideas, you can communicate in private in advance."

The county commanders looked at each other, not expecting His Majesty to be so honest and unpretentious.

"You guys shouldn't have anything important, right? If you have nothing to do, you will retreat, and the little things will be talked about after this matter is over. ”

With a wave of his hand, Li Chengzhou quickly ended the court meeting.

The county magistrates came out one after another, and the speed of this court meeting was beyond their imagination, and those who came early waited for most of the day, but they didn't expect it to end so soon.

However, it is better to end it early, before the bidding officially begins, they really need to walk around in advance, connect the surrounding cities, and fight separately and can only be defeated by other allied cities.

Li Chengzhou watched these county orders go out, and said to Fan Qingyan triumphantly.

"Well, I said I'll be back by the nineth. I kid you not. ”

Fan Qingyan rolled his eyes: "If you don't come, I plan to postpone the bidding." ”

"No, I'm sure I'm not going to break my word."

"It's best to come, tomorrow to see what they do, it should be very exciting, and the volume is unimaginable."

Li Chengzhou nodded: "I have to go sleep for a while first, otherwise I won't be energetic tomorrow." ”

Li Chengzhou turned around and walked away.

"Brother Qingyan, I may have to go and rest for a while, I'm about to fall asleep."

The tomahawk slipped away as soon as he turned around.

Fan Qingyan was helpless, these two guys really came to be mascots.

As soon as the stubborn stone came out of the main hall, he saw the spring silkworm waiting for him on the side of the road from a distance.

"Spring Silkworm Commander, why are you here?"

"I'll accompany you, Longshan City is just the two of us, of course we have to rely on each other."

"Okay, Commander of the Spring Silkworm, let's go sit in the room for a while."

"Let's go, go to my place, I'll invite you to dinner, I have a few bottles of rice wine there, let's have a few drinks."

The spring silkworm wanted to pick up the stubborn stone, and the other county orders also called for friends, and several county orders got together, and they thought of a strategy for facing this tender before they set off, and the night before the tender was an opportunity for them to connect in series.

Chen Jiao prepared the meal before they arrived.

"Senior brothers, I prepared a meal in the south of the city, I haven't seen you for a long time, how about we get together and have a good time?"

"Senior Brother Chen Jiao is really well prepared."

The people around praised Chen Jiao.

Chen Jiao saw that the spring silkworm wanted to take away the stubborn stone.

"Spring silkworm leader stays, how about I do the east today, you will meet again tomorrow?"

"No, we won't be involved."

"Commander of the Spring Silkworm, at my banquet, you may still get any useful news, if you stay with Shi Xianling, there is really no chance, come on, come on."

The spring silkworm pondered.

"How about giving me a few thin noodles with stale gum?"

Shi took a step forward: "Since Chen County's order is so polite, it will not be ours if it refuses." ”

The spring silkworm didn't expect the stubborn stone to dare to take a step forward, and it seems that the young man of Mu Ne will eventually grow up.

"Then I won't go, and I won't be involved in the affairs of your cities."

"Let's go, Spring Silkworm Commander, we people from Longshan City naturally want to be together, can you Chen County Order."

"Naturally, you can."

The crowd marched towards the south of the city.

"Your Majesty, they are heading south of the city to feast."

"Let them go."

Fan Qingyan also got the news and didn't react, because he instructed Chen Jiao to do the banquet.

Rather than letting them secretly deliberate behind their backs, it is better to put this matter on the surface, make it clear and say it thoroughly.
