Seeing He Qiu nodded, Tang Zhao was very happy, the boundary of Yunnan was too desolate, and even the communication with the imperial court was not very smooth, and he had not known some things in the court for a long time.

caught He Qiu staying here for a while, he had too many words to consult He Qiu.

"How is my father Xin Guogong's health now, but is he still healthy?"

He Qiu thought about it seriously and said with a smile.

"The old man of Xinguo is in good health, but he has already told His Majesty to return to his hometown and returned to Fengyang, before I was ordered by His Majesty to go to Fengyang to invite Liang Guogong, and I met on the way."

Hearing He Qiu say this, Tang Zhao was also relieved in his heart, Tang He was old, and he was not by Tang He's side all the year round, so he knew very little about his situation, for fear of receiving the news of Tang He's death one day.

Feng Cheng seemed to suddenly remember something, and reminded on the side.

"If you live in Kunming for a while, it's better to be careful, Dingxi Hou is now fighting outside, if you wait for him to come back, you may not be able to see you pleasing to the eye."

"Even if he doesn't do anything to you, I don't know what his subordinates will think."

Feng Cheng did have concerns in this regard, after all, Mu Ying was still Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son back then, and had a very good relationship with the former prince Zhu Biao, as his son, Mu Chun was naturally closer to Zhu Yunwen.

Although Zhu Yunwen was now dismissed from the position of grandson by Zhu Yuanzhang and driven out of the East Palace, who knows if Mu Chun has given up on it, or if Zhu Yunwen has any explanation for him in private?

Feng Cheng knew that the case of reselling military rations was opened from He Qiu, and based on this alone, Zhu Yunwen had a reason to want to kill He Qiu.

Tang Zhao said with some dissatisfaction.

"I don't think Mu Chun will be such a person, but He Qiu, do you have such a big contradiction with the previous East Palace? I've heard people say before that you will also teach the emperors and grandchildren, and even the one in the East Palace has also listened to classes under you, why did you turn the master and apprentice against you? ”

Feng Cheng glanced at Tang Zhao, thinking to himself that this is not clear, although He Qiu is also Zhu Yunwen's master, he is Zhu Di's son-in-law.

Whoever is Zhu Yunwen, it's hard to resist not having trouble with He Qiu, right?

He Qiu didn't explain anything too much, just said simply.

"The miscellaneous things in the East Palace before, there are a lot of twists and turns in it, including the death of the Marquis of Dingyuan this time, and the back is quite complicated, and it can't be explained in a few words."

"But putting that aside, General Tang and Gong Ying, whose side will you be on?"

Tang Zhao smiled slyly and said unequivocally.

"Whoever is in the East Palace, I support whom, mainly follow the pace of His Majesty."

Feng Cheng also quite agreed with Tang Zhao's statement, and what those of them who were fighting outside the country were most afraid of was the unstable political situation in the DPRK and China, and this kind of turmoil would be transmitted to the army, which could easily lead to the defeat of the front-line operations.

What's more, after they become lords, it can be said that their personal honor has reached the top, and the rest is mainly how to pass on their own titles.

Therefore, they do not want to make any remarks on this kind of national affairs.

He Qiu secretly felt funny in his heart, he didn't expect Tang Zhao, a guy who looked thick-eyed and big-eyed, to be so cunning.

He Qiu didn't mention this topic anymore, and said instead.

"Although I only plan to stay in Kunming for a short time, I don't want to be held up in places like inns all the time, not to mention the vast world of Yunnan, there is a lot to be done, if you only suppress Tusi here, it will be a pity."

Feng Cheng's heart turned, and he thought of what He Qiu said when he didn't come to Kunming before, and asked tentatively.

"You mean the Copper Mountain?"

Tang Zhao was still confused, and turned his head to ask Feng Cheng.

"What copper mountain?"

He Qiu explained to them in detail.

"There are large-scale copper mines in the Dongchuan area of Yunnan, do you know this?"

Tang Zhao shook his head a little dazedly, he didn't pay much attention to these details.

Feng Cheng carefully recalled some of what he had seen before, nodded hesitantly and said.

"Probably yes? I've heard from the local toast that they also mine copper, but because of the small amount each time, I always thought it was a small copper mine. ”

He Qiu shook his head decisively and said.

"Dongchuan underground is not a small copper mine, since the Han Dynasty, Dongchuan has been someone in the mine, because of the war, from time to time mining, and the local toast, the means are really scarce, has not been a good use of the local copper mine."

"We have always lacked copper in the Central Plains, and now to implement the new policy, copper money is also indispensable, if you can mine this mine in Yunnan, the benefits can be countless!"

Feng Cheng's eyes were cold all of a sudden, if there was really a large-scale copper mine under Dongchuan that Qiu said, this news would be a great thing for their generals in Yunnan.

Think about it, the coinage is so profitable, even if the big head will go to the imperial court, but there is always a part of it that will stay in Yunnan, and their group of people will eat a little from here, and it will be a wealth of the sky.

However, Feng Cheng was still a little hesitant.

"How do you know about this?"

If there is a mine underground in Dongchuan, it should also be the local Tusi who knows better, why He Qiu, who is thousands of miles away, will say that there is a big copper mine when he arrives in Kunming, isn't he deceiving him?

He Qiu said confidently.

"I read it from a book, and I asked someone before I came, and Dongchuan has indeed always had a history of mining, so I can be sure."

In fact, He Qiu didn't know it by reading books, he had heard about the large-scale mining of copper mines in Dongchuan in the Taqing Dynasty as early as in later generations, in order to alleviate the 'copper shortage' in the Taqing Dynasty.

As far as he knows, the copper mine in Dongchuan seems to have been mined for a long time until the founding of New China, but at that time it was estimated that it was mined in a relatively deep underground location.

Since he came to the Ming Dynasty, he has always been curious about why the Ming and Qing dynasties did not mine Dongchuan's copper mines on a large scale not long after the Ming and Qing dynasties, but let the local Tusi mine them at will.

In fact, He Qiu's idea is problematic, Dongchuan Copper Mine had a relatively prosperous mining history in the Yuan and Ming dynasties, but he didn't know it.

Moreover, this kind of mining behavior is often a private act, and there is no unified national planning, and the intensity of the two is not on the same level compared to the central planning of the Qing Dynasty.

He Qiu was not impressed by this, and it was understandable.

Although Tang Zhao just likes to fight, he doesn't understand the beauty of money, and when he heard He Qiu say that there was a large-scale copper mine in Dongchuan, his eyes were already rolling.

How large will a large-scale copper mine be?

He Qiu, as Zhu Di's son-in-law, will not be particularly unreliable, right? That should be quite large, such a copper mine, sucking ......

Tang Zhao patted his thigh and said to Feng Cheng.

"No matter, I did it!"
