The clothes and hands and face were black, but there was an excited smile on the corner of his mouth.

He had already confirmed that the bottom of this mountain bag was definitely charcoal, and the quality was very top-notch.

As long as it is mined in large quantities, it can not only improve the quality of the black blade, but also have other more important uses.

The discovery of the coal mine dissipated a lot of the unhappiness accumulated in Li Xingchen's heart by the Eight-Nation Alliance.

"Tongxiang, good job, don't look at this dirty place, the underground is full of treasures."

"Ahh Leng Tongxiang and the big girl looked at each other, can there be treasures in this broken place? The former bandits still need to do things that have no conscience?

Li Xingchen explained: "There is a lot of charcoal buried underneath. ”

"Your Majesty, have you misunderstood?" Da Niu smiled, "The stove on the castle tower is built with this stone, if it is really carbon, shouldn't it be burned?" ”

"Dig up all the stones on the upper floor, and bury the charcoal underneath!" Li Xingchen patiently explained.

He couldn't be mistaken, he had taken an industrial course before the crossing, and coal was the foundation of industry, and he was very confident that it was coal mining.

"If that's the case, then this is a treasure land!"

Leng Tongxiang was also very happy, it was really unexpected to get such a treasure by mistake.

A few people chatted for a while on the mountain pass, and when they were about to go down the mountain to rest, they heard a horseshoe mountain not far away.

Leng Tongxiang twisted his eyebrows and looked at the source of the sound, now that it was past the hour, although there was moonlight, he couldn't see who it was.

For the sake of safety, Leng Tongxiang used a crossbow to launch signal arrows into the sky, and in an instant, the women's army on the north and south towers received the signal and immediately made a vigilant posture.

"Your own people, your own people!"

Just as the people of Leng Tongxiang were about to extinguish the torches, they heard a frantic shouting from the other side.

"We are local officials, our own people."

Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows, walked down, and the group of people returned to the city tower along the path.

Soon, the horse team also stopped at the perimeter of the tower, and a group of people walked in.

Li Xingchen didn't see them, this time it was a private visit to Weifu, although he didn't wear a dragon robe, it was inevitable that some of them would have seen him.

"I've seen General Leng in my humble position." The head of the official led the salute.

"What's the matter, why are you here in the middle of the night?" Leng Tongxiang asked.

"Two hunters came to the yamen to report that there were bandits in this place, and they watched for a long time, and found that there was no movement, so they came to the yamen and hoped that we would come and have a look." The leader explained.

"Two Orions?" Leng Tongxiang was surprised.

"Yes, they watched the hill for a long time, and they didn't know which side won before they came to report."

"I see." Leng Tongxiang suddenly said, "Then go back and thank those two brothers for me." ”

Although they have already solved the bandits, the other party has worked tirelessly to report the news, which is a favor.

"General Leng is Jiang bandits, all killed?" The leader asks tentatively.

He came here for a purpose this time, the Heihe bandits colluded with the local yamen, and the malicious Leng Tongxiang failed to suppress the bandits, but if he succeeded, it was inevitable that he would come out of the bandits' mouths that were unfavorable to his side, so the yamen urgently sent people to come, not two hunters to report the news.

It's just that when he was approaching the area of Heihe, he happened to meet two hunters, got off the horse and asked about the situation of the cottage, and told Leng Tongxiang half-truths.

There are also a lot of bandits, and the leader really can't imagine how the evenly matched women's army can win the tough big man and capture the cottage that is easy to defend and difficult to attack...

The big girl is a person who can't hide things, and her eyebrows are dancing and she tells the situation of how the women's army seized the village, and the commander and others are stunned when they hear it.

"Have all the bandits been killed?" The leader asked.

"More than 100 have been captured alive, and they haven't been interrogated yet." The big girl replied.

The leader frowned unconsciously, and said hurriedly: "There's nothing to ask, they should all be killed when they do all the bad things, it's better to let the lowly do it for them, and give them a good time tonight." ”

The leader's impatient appearance made Li Xingchen, who was hiding aside and peeking, suspicious.

First of all, it is very strange that the yamen sent people to see the situation so late, if they were worried about the women's army, they should also bring a large number of people, how could they only bring a dozen people?

Secondly, from the moment they arrived, they were very concerned about the safety of the bandits' lives and were anxious to kill people personally.

Thinking about it again, Li Xingchen generally understood what was going on.

Leng Tongxiang is not a fool, he also saw the clues, and immediately sent a women's army to detain a group of officials.

The leader's pupils shrank sharply, and he said in surprise: "What does General Leng mean by this?" ”

"I'll wait until I'm done interrogating the bandits." Leng Tongxiang said coldly.

The officials were breathing and their scalps were numb, did they show their feet? The front side said that it was good, and the back foot immediately controlled them...

"Take people to a corner."

With Leng Tongxiang's order, dozens of women's soldiers tied up people and dragged them to the corner.

Li Xingchen came out at this time, "There is no need to investigate, the situation is just as you think, colluding with each other." Otherwise, the local government can't fight the bandits, and they should report it to the capital to let me know.

Killing those villains who are rampant in the countryside has no value to keep. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! The last will take you upstairs to rest. ”

Leng Tongxiang took Li Xingchen to her room, although it was a little dirty and all black powder, it was already the best room.

Li Xingchen didn't mind: "Let's rest early after you're done." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Leng Tongxiang retreated.

It didn't take long for one scream after another to spread throughout the valley...

The next day.

Li Xingchen explained a few words to Leng Tongxiang, and asked her not to touch the local yamen for the time being, and secretly investigate whether the yamen had anything to do with the masked man.

The masked man deliberately provoked the villagers to become bandits, and there was no backing behind him, which was unrealistic.

If the people involved in the yamen are arrested, they will be shocked.

After the order, Li Xingchen quickly returned to Beijing and sent people over to mine coal mines. With the blessing of BMW, it only took two days to go back and forth.

I didn't have a morning exercise for two days, and the civil and military speculations of the Manchu Dynasty were all there, and the Grand Duke reluctantly blocked the mouth of the people on the grounds that His Majesty was going out to escape the summer.

After that, the discovery of the coal mine gradually spread, and the prime minister and others sighed with emotion, what is the real dragon emperor? Even if you go out to escape the heat, you can find a mine! Blessed by God, God blesses you!

Time passed.

Soon it was time to trade.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, or a deliberate coincidence that Li Xingchen benefited from, salt and black blades were traded on the same day.

Wang Dashan took the Turkic spies to the weapons warehouse on the edge of the city, and was heavily guarded around to protect these black blades.

The two entered the warehouse, and saw that it was full of iron blades, and the Turkic spies looked excited.

"Lord Wang is really powerful, he has created 100,000 black blades in just one month, and I really didn't see the wrong person."

It's just that it takes a lot of effort to send them out of Great Wei to the border.

"Building day and night, combined with some inventory, is more than enough for a month." Wang Dashan Road.
