Zheng Haizhu came to Jiangnan in the late Ming Dynasty, and what often came to the ears, in addition to the Kun dialect, was the Yiyang dialect.

When he was in Songjiang, Zhang Dai, who studied opera intensively, predicted to Zheng Haizhu that the Yiyang dialect was a high-pitched language, and several famous teams were willing to adapt to the northern language, which would be more popular than the Kunyang dialect in the north.

This time, Zheng Haizhu was quite surprised to see that King Lu had invited the Yiyang dialect team.

As a person who has traveled around for two lifetimes, what she is most willing to appreciate is the integration of cultures and the openness of mind.

But now, she only listened to Fang Ban's lead singer sing a few words of high notes, so she interrupted him and wanted to take him to the Yasukuni General's Mansion with Zhu Yipai's personal entourage, and thank Zhu Yipai and his wife.

Wu Bangde understood that Zheng Haizhu was going to take advantage of today's hot affairs, and hurried to the little highness to make a familiar face.

He immediately stuffed the two guards with benefits, and asked them to guide them to the Yanzhou official post on the way, so that Zheng Haizhu could pick up the gifts.

After such a toss, when I came to Zhu Yipai's mansion, it was dark.

But the mother-in-law, who soon came out to take care of the affairs, brought the three big and one small to the small warm pavilion in the atrium, and instructed the little maid to bring a food box, which contained tofu skin and pork-stuffed cakes, white flour buns, Hu spicy soup, etc., and politely invited Zheng Haizhu and others to have dinner first.

The mother-in-law was very kind and pleasant, although she was magnificent, she softly told the master to feed the doll slowly.

After everyone finished eating, the mother-in-law came out of the warm pavilion, and after a short time, she led Zhu Yipai and Guo Shi over.

Guo was also followed by the nurse, holding a female doll older than Xiaotang in her hand.

Zheng Haizhu saw the appearance of the girl, and she was a Zhu Yipai who had shrunk by several sizes.

"Yan'er," Zhu Yipai turned his head and said, "This is the little sister that Daddy and Niang met today, and you will give her the tiger cloth."

Yan'er slipped down from the nurse's arms, walked up to Xiaotang and said, "My mother and I picked a big one, you can sleep with it at night, it's comfortable." There are tigers guarding you, and the villains will not dare to arrest you."

Fang Ban Master hurriedly dragged Xiaotang and thanked him.

Zheng Haizhu and Wu Bangde stepped forward at the right time and met Zhu Yipai and Guo.

Zheng Haizhu explained the front edge with Fang Banzhu and Xiaotang, and naturally led to his own experience in Jiangnan, and then opened the cage and presented the Song painting landscape, flowers and birds embroidered handkerchief that most reflects the characteristics of Han Yuan's embroidery.

Shandong's Lu embroidery is famous in the north, the color is unrestrained and gorgeous, and the picture is turbulent, which is also the painstaking efforts of the craftsmen of the past dynasties.

But everything has some "far fragrant near smelly" law, Guo Shi since childhood accustomed to Lu embroidery, there is no novelty, at first glance at the royal stomach highly respected Xuanhe painting spectrum, was embroidered on the texture of the high-quality, such as the light dancing thin clouds on the silk handkerchief, suddenly felt novel and elegant, a moment full of praise, holding the handkerchief gently Mosuo line, but also asked some how to cut the silk expert questions.

Zheng Haizhu's heart gradually became more bottomed.

Don't look at Zhu Yipai's strong personality and easy to lose his temper in official affairs, but the class concept in his bones may not be too deep, from the fact that he took the initiative to invite himself and Wu Bangde to follow Zhang Yaofang to the banquet yesterday, as well as the training of the servants and maids in the house, it can be seen to some extent.

However, socializing should also be gradual.

Zheng Haizhu stared at the beautiful copper basin in the house, and did not intend to mention the fact that there was coal in the charcoal mountain in a hurry.

Myself and Wu Bangde, let's go and investigate first.

……

"Miss Zheng, most of these fields and lakes belong to King Lu, and some of them are given by King Lu to the county king and the general of the town state, or as a dowry for the county monarch and the county magistrates. The land is very fertile, and the lake and pond produce a lot."

On the mule cart heading from Yanzhou Mansion to Chai Tan Mountain to the east, Mu Zaohua pointed to the scene on both sides and reported to Zheng Haizhu.

After Zheng Haizhu looked at the fertile fields of the village, he asked, "Who are the county kings?"

"There are King Taixing, King Ningde, King Changtai. However, the best manager of Zhuangzi is a general of Zhenguo, the son-in-law of King Taixing. In the Zhuangzi of the general of the town state, the acres of orchards are very neat, and there is a large deer park, the villagers said that when cutting the antler velvet, the general of the town will come to see it in person, and the antler is not taken back to the house, but to find a medicine merchant to collect the silver, and several times I have met the hungry people who fled from northern Lubei

and gave porridge to the disaster."

Mu Zaohua's answer was like a stream, and it was hard for her to remember the names of several county kings so clearly.

While Zheng Haizhu was quite satisfied with these two intelligence officers, he couldn't help but sigh again, that Zhu Yipai, among the princes' children, is really a beautiful landscape.

When the old Zhu family arrives in this generation, no matter those who live in the Forbidden City, or the clans and clans in various places, there are very few people who do not eat and wait for death, are keen on a variety of businesses to make money, and can treat the people well.

Wu Bangde, who was on the side, listened expressionlessly.

Suddenly, he saw a large bluestone engraved with the words "Yunshan Camp" on the side of the road, and asked, "Is there a garrison nearby?"

Mu Zaohua said: "Da Niu and I also went to explore, there are three Tunbao with the word "battalion" along the way, all of them are old and weak military households, and those who guard the tombs of the tombs of the kings of Lu in the past dynasties are not the same thing as the powerful battalion army of General Qi."

Mu Zaohua's tone became cautious, and her eyes drooped.

After meeting the homeless man that day and being severely reprimanded by Wu Bangde, she didn't dare to look into his eyes when she spoke to this "bureau seat".

Wu Bangde's eyebrows relaxed: "Nervous what. Your investigation this time is very meticulous, didn't you see Miss Zheng nodding in satisfaction?"

Mu Zaohua bit her lower lip, and the corners of her mouth quickly rose, and a happy smile appeared.

When the car arrived at Chai Tan Mountain, there was a strong smell of coke in the air.

Another intelligence agent, Li Daniu, pointed to the countless oval cocoon-like earthen kilns on the western hill and said, "Miss Zheng, the firewood cut down from the mountain is all transported into those kilns and burned into charcoal. The mountain belongs to Lu Province, and the charcoal is only sent to Lu Province. Because it is the charcoal used by the palace, it is particularly particular, and there can be no firewood mouth, so as not to burn up and smoke, so a single cave can only produce charcoal once in about five or six days. But there are 10 kilns in total, which take turns to produce charcoal, and every afternoon, a large mule cart goes to Yanzhou City to transport charcoal."

Zheng Haizhu squinted at the topography of Chai Tan Mountain and asked Wu Bangde, "How is it compared to Jingshi Xishan?"

Wu Bangde said: "If there is really coal underneath, digging it out can be much better than the West Mountain, where the mountain road is gentle, but I don't know if the water is strong."

Zheng Haizhu said, "Let's go, according to what the guy at the Nabo Mountain Inn said, go to the east to find the coal seedlings he said.

Along the small river in the east, I saw the bluestone henge and the dense forest mentioned by the Boshan guys.

Further onto the mountainside, large chunks of shale rock came into view.

Wu Bangde took out the coal exploration guy.

A few lumps of black bumps are magnetite ore.

He found a thick branch on the ground, tied it with a magnet, and gave it to some people.

But Zheng Haizhu, as a modern person, doesn't believe it very much.

How can coal be magnetic?

However, since Wu Bangde said that he had seen this method, and the innkeeper also said the same, let's give it a try.

The four of them found a large area of shale and used magnetic rods to explore the craggy rocks.

After a long day, I tried a lot of rocks, but I didn't find any clues.

Zheng Haizhu thought for a while and said to Wu Bangde, "Didn't the innkeeper say that their owner was looking for someone to secretly dig coal? We just managed to find their coal holes. The mountain was large, but not steep, and for the most part it was unobstructed, and they must have made a hole near the shale that obscured the view."

Wu Bangde felt reasonable, nodded and said, "Let's go, go to the highest place first, and see clearly."

Unexpectedly, a few people had just walked a short mountain road when they heard shouting in front of them.

Soon four or five dirty-clad men ran down, each carrying a large basket covered with arrowroot.

Wu Bangde greeted him and arched his hand, "Brothers, what's wrong?"

While asking, he looked at it clearly, and the men's palms were black, and their clothes were stained with black ash.

He was no stranger to it.

Coal diggers.

Among the men, looking at the older one, and looking at the Confucian scarf on Wu Bangde's head, his expression was slightly evasive, and he only said vaguely: "The people of King Lu's Mansion drove us down the mountain."

After that, he beckoned his friends and hurried away.

Zheng Haizhu is very sensitive to language, and she can hear these people say, "King Lu

The pronunciation is different from the pronunciation of people inside and outside the Yanzhou Mansion, but it is somewhat similar to the guys in Nabo Mountain.

Without hesitation, she said, "Let's go, let's see."
