Chapter 221: Please Be Frank (Two Chapters in One)
"I suspect there are minerals."
"Oh?" Huo Yunqian turned the ring on his thumb to look at Xu Tianxin's big bright eyes, and asked with interest, "What kind of mine, do you have any guesses in your heart?"
Xu Tianxin did not hide from looking back at Huo Yunqian.
She was silent for a while, silence is golden, big brother.
"Gold Mine."
Huo Yunqian turned the index finger of the wrench and paused.
"Just rely on the "Fantasy Tour" and "Fang Yu Minutes" that you bought? As far as I know, there should be no such content in those two sets of books. It's a summary and a win, but it's just two ordinary travelogues."
I don't even have the simplest map of Xinjiang, and I don't know much about the landform.
Xu Tianxin thought to himself: Who are you looking down on.
Do you despise her analytical skills, or do you think the authors of those two books are too superficial and sloppy?
If you look down on her, it's okay, it's that you don't understand her.
But when it comes to the author she likes, she really doesn't like to listen to it.
Although these two writers are not well-known at all in modern times, they are not even very famous here in the current dynasty. That's why in the eyes of the pride of heaven like the general, who has read a lot of good books, these two authors will be classified as unambitious literati, and they are still literati who don't want to face real life and travel around.
But it's the two authors she likes very much.
And the reason why I bought these two books is, on the one hand, because this matter has reached the point where I have to buy it home and look through it carefully.
On the other hand, the previous situation at home, the reference book has not been bought, and the broken family is worth a lot of money, and everything has to be spent to start again, so no matter how much I liked it before, I can't buy it home because I like it, but I don't know how to use it in life.
However, she had the opportunity to simply flip through it in the bookstore.
"The folk girl was very sorry that she was kicked out of the bookstore by Xiao Er before she finished reading it, and said that I should either buy it or leave, but I was shy and could only leave gloomily.
So I remember very well that the author of "Winning the Void" wrote a paragraph during his travels, he was rescued by the Outer Eighth Gate, that is, the Ninth Gate of Gold Mining, where he recuperated for several months, and then followed them all the way for two years.
also used his literati identity to help Caijinmen slap his face.
General, you may not know the meaning of slapping your face, the outer eight gates, the status is low, and the slap in the face is his help to fight for face.
As a result, the two sides formed a deep fate, and the author also knew some common mantras in the gold mining industry. If you want to find minerals, you need to find grass, stones, and landscapes, and you also need to see whether there are dansha, magnets, and igneous stones on the existing rocks.
For this reason, after he was separated from the gold mining gate, he also dug for two nights because he went to dig for gold according to this mantra, and was chased by the locals for three hills, and his shoes were lost, so he wanted to beat him.
Because in order to witness his conjecture, he fed a kind of grass to the cattle of the peasant uncle in the mountains, and poisoned him, so that they could spare him."
When Xu Tianxin said this, he seemed to remember the storyline, and he laughed a few times without heart and lungs:
"It's a lot of fun, and it's in his little story that I saw the mantra, which says what kind of mountain, what kind of rocks and grass grow around the mine, and how he found it, and how he was hunted down.
Then I thought, what if, what if he had some ulterior motives other than the money clerk who came to exchange the wasteland.
After all, this is not in line with common sense, how can there be wasteland to buy at a high price. I've grown so big, I haven't seen a ...... fall from the sky."
Xu Tianxin was stunned, she had encountered pie in the sky.
Sister Lu Yan gave her one hundred and twenty taels in vain, and Grandpa Jia Lai gave her wild boar skin in vain when she took the photo.
Huo Yunqian took a sip of the teacup and hid a smile on his lips: "Well, it's right to guard against people, why don't you continue?"
I was very excited just now, and I can make fun of myself.
Xu Tianxin thought to himself:
Because not only pies have fallen from the sky, next, she began to combine some knowledge that modern people will have heard.
And in modern times, it belongs to the group of old men, talking about the ancients
I know the most.
For example, the North is inherently fond of minerals.
Why did the little devil occupy the north in the first place, it was purposefully chosen to occupy the territory, and how many gold mines were dug out to steal.
And why there is so much gold and silver in circulation in ancient times, you must know that she is spending silver now, but why she no longer uses gold and silver as the silver money used by the people for circulation during the Republic of China, and gold and silver are rare. According to the modern village entrance uncles in the park carrying bird cages and scolding, they all paid compensation to the little devils at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Shipwat by boat.
Of course, gold and silver will no longer be used as a large amount of money in the later period, and it will not be as simple as we people guess.
Regardless of this, in short, she determined that the Northland was rich in minerals, which was caused by geographical reasons, so she didn't find it.
And in modern times, there is also a place called Jiapigou, Xu Tianxin doesn't know if it's here, after all, the mountains and rivers will change with the atmospheric weather and other reasons.
However, it is rumored that there are seventy-two ditches in the skin ditch, and there is gold in the ditch. It is also said that the high mountains of the Northland, especially the volcanoes, many unknown mountains have been rich in minerals since ancient times.
Xu Tianxin froze because she was thinking about how to make this topic big and round.
Although grandma always said that she didn't like to lie.
But what Grandma didn't know was that as soon as she started telling it, she liked to make up the lie.
Xu Tianxin looked at the clear tea soup in front of Huo Yunqian, and couldn't help but take a sip of the teacup, and praised it in his heart, good tea:
"I thought the general would dislike the people's long-windedness, I was wondering if to cut off a paragraph and talk about the key points directly, I'm afraid you won't have the effort."
Huo Yunqian thought to himself: A mouthful of local dialect.
said that he was afraid that you would not have time to delay, so he said that he was afraid that you would not have time, and he spoke in official language, and he said that he had no effort.
"Just tell me about your journey, go on." What he has is kung fu.
"Oh," Xu Tianxin continued, "and then I thought of another book I had read in the bookstore, the Minutes of Fang Yu, written by our Northland authors, based on the plants mentioned in that little story about the Void Tour."
"It's also shy in my pocket, I didn't buy it at the beginning, and I remember it deeply?"
"Huh? Yes. In the book "Minutes", General, don't look at the book's description of the geomorphological features of Kyushu, as if there is no insight.
But he has traveled extensively, and it is rare that he likes to write in contrast.
I'll give the general an analogy, for example, we grow sweet potatoes in the north, and we also grow sweet potatoes in Luzhou, how to distinguish where they are produced, this person is based on the size and taste, and he writes like this.
And the most rare thing is that wherever he goes, he writes down a lot of wild plants along the mountains and rivers in various places, and this person believes that the wild ones, not the ones that are planted the day after tomorrow, are the ones that best represent the local characteristics.
It's still a comparison, what kind of mountain likes to grow what kind of grass, and the local grass is obviously the same variety as the grass plants in other places, but what is the difference......
Don't say it, don't say it.
Xu Tianxin didn't care Huo Yunqian asked her if she was shy again, her attitude of not taking it seriously at all, just a sigh was eager to promote the benefits of the "Fang Yu Minutes", which made Huo Yunqian interested, and planned to go back and flip through the book that he planned to accumulate dust when he got it.
Obviously, he has seen a lot of such better books, but he was also seduced by Xu Tianxin's recommendation.
Huo Yunqian also found that Xu Tianxin likes to read the little things in the book and read the books of the little people.
Like these two books, there is no family and country feelings, and there is no such thing, there is no poetry and beautiful rhetoric, and there is no longing for Kyushu, but she likes to find knowledge in this type of book.
This is also a little different from most of the girls.
Normally, Huo Yunqian would find it a bit strange to find knowledge in the stories of small people, but if he can really find a gold mine...... "Go on."
"Yes, General, no, in order to verify whether it is a mineral, I poisoned Uncle Shanli's cattle to death. This is fed to the cow to ask the thorn grass, which is also known as the gold-absorbing grass. The mountain is divided into five elements, also divided into yin and yang, and there are shallots and honeysuckle in the formula, saying that gold mines like to grow this plant.
And in this summary, since the author is local, he really writes about where there are flints in the mountains in our northland, what has happened, and what will become of wild plants after the changes in the mountains.
Combined with "Void Tour", most of the plants around the gold mine cannot live, and only a few can live, and a few of them will become guides."
Xu Tianxin paused:
"Then I went to ask the fourth master of our village, and he said that the mountain on the other side of Jiapigou is a volcano. He listened to his grandfather's grandfather's father, and told it as a story from generation to generation. Please forgive the general, the little girl is talentless, and I really don't know what grandpa's grandfather's father is called."
"Heavenly Ancestor." Huo Yunqian was speechless, and he didn't understand the most basic thing at the age of thirteen, so he was going to dig for gold.
"I also asked the uncles who had provided forage for my house why they had to dig up all the grass and sell it to my house before they went to dig up the cow and mule fodder near the ditch in front of me. They said that they could not go there, and that there was a lack of grass there.
General, you are the pride of the sky, you may not know if you have never planted crops, in the eyes of our countrymen, the lack of virtue grass is to ask the wattle grass, because it is a scourge of crops, it is not easy to grow up, and pigs, cattle and sheep will be poisoned if they eat it by mistake. And it's the poisonous weed mentioned in "Virtual Travel".
As for the honeysuckle near the gold mine, this is my master's treasure chest Langzhong knows where to find it in the Jiapigou."
Huo Yunqian directly hit the nail on the head: "No, although I didn't read the book "Winning the Void Tour", I hastily flipped through it, and it didn't tell you that the volcano would withdraw gold, and the author didn't write the mantra completely."
Huo Yunqian poured tea for Xu Tianxin and waited for an explanation.
He thought the little girl would say, no? Where did you see that?
At least I'll be stunned. Or there is a lie in the original words, and you will be a little flustered at a young age.
Although Huo Yunqian felt that the possibility of lying was very small, after all, he didn't know how to read a book, but he felt that he just didn't tell the truth.
But when Huo Yunqian raised his head, what he didn't expect was that Xu Tianxin looked at him with admiration and said, "General, you can remember this detail by turning it over hastily.
Afterwards, Xu Tianxin told without the slightest panic: "The volcano, I really didn't look at it from the book, I heard from the merchants in the mutual market."
"Which inter-market merchant?"
Xu Tianxin pointed to the tea in Huo Yunqian's hand, and said with a smile: "The fragrance is not coarse, the taste is thick and not astringent, it is exactly the golden flower tea you brewed, what the big shopkeeper of Jingyang Fu Tea said."
Fu Tea is one of the three tea merchants in the mutual market.
Fu brick tea, which is a black tea, is also called fermented tea. Since ancient times, it has been deeply loved by people who eat beef and mutton to relieve greasyness. Like General Huo's soak in this, it should be planted by the unique geographical conditions of Qinling Mountain.
And what is there in the Qinling Mountains, there are mines in Shaanxi and Yuan, that is, modern Shaanxi, and there are TV series in the nineties, telling that Tongguan is crowded with people who go to gold panning with dreams. It is said that it was also here that the royal ancestors laid the foundation for the country, which was to excavate the mine. The royal gold mines have been vigorously excavated, and it is no longer a secret in the local area.
"So General, when the folk girls feasted on the big shopkeepers, they talked about the customs of local specialties, and the shopkeeper of Fu Tea Shen laughed and sang a local folk ballad with us. The fire stone comes to the stone to burn the fire, and the gold is looking for the baby to come to the gold. The green mud is silent, and the geese have no ......body to take a photo."
That's how we know that volcanoes produce gold mines.
Xu Tianxin breathed a sigh of relief and finally finished explaining.
And on this side, Huo Yunqian didn't expect that Xu Tianxin not only tasted what kind of tea it was, but also that her channels for obtaining knowledge points were quite complicated.
I have hosted a banquet for the shopkeepers, and we talk about everything.
"In addition to the gold mine, there are other things that we don't have in the Northland, has Shopkeeper Shen talked to you about it?"
Xu Tianxin thought to himself, could it be: "A talented man in the south, a general in the north." There are dozens of emperors' mausoleums in the land of Sanshan."
One digs and one is accurate.
In the Tang Dynasty, there was a bay in the Song Dynasty, the Han tomb was set between the mountains, and the Gaozhou would be on both sides of the river. She's very criminal.
Huo Yunqian couldn't hide his smile this time. And even in his own heart, he didn't know whether this smile was annoyed by Xu Tianxin's nonsensical thoughts, or was it funny.
Because he originally wanted to popularize Xu Tianxin, the "貊" mentioned in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
It is like a bear, black and white, and also eats copper and iron.
He felt that Xu Tianxin should like the animal he said, which is a major feature of the Shaanxi Yuan area, where there is this round animal, Xu Tianxin has never seen it.
Xu Tianxin didn't know what General Huo was thinking, if she knew, she would say, hey, panda, I've seen it. I have also seen the yellow haired panda seven cubs biting people's ears.
"Xu Tianxin."
"Yes."
"I checked a lot of miscellaneous books, and I checked them very well."
Huo Yunqian paused: "Then have you checked, how much will the people be sentenced for private exploration of mineral deposits."
Xu Tianxin: "......"
"Ahem, the people can't sell it casually if they suspect it, and they plan to keep it in their hands, and when the spring flowers bloom next year, they can identify the grass and plants and go into the mountains to confirm it before reporting it to General Lu Yan or General Jia Lai. That's why you came in person."
Xu Tianxin suddenly stood up, raised his head again, and continued: "But the folk girl does not regret all the actions she has done during this time. Because the people's daughter Xu Tianxin can also be regarded as a supernumerary member of the Zhenbei Army. When I suspect that there are minerals, I would rather suspect that I am wrong, and I have the obligation to protect our Zhenbei mineral deposits."
Jiubao, who was standing guard outside the door, hugged the sword and thought: The young master of his family is about to be confused.
It's about to get confused.
Xu Tianxin finished fooling around seriously, and smiled at him. seems to be saying that she didn't want any reward for helping the Zhenbei Army defend the gold mine, and it was not her goal to become famous, she just felt that it was very meaningful to rack her brains to study and understand that it was very meaningful to turn it in.
Huo Yunqian looked at Xu Tianxin who was shining on his face by the sun outside.
One sincerity can be worth ten thousand evils, and one silence can be worth a thousand words.
Huo Yunqian suddenly didn't know whether to open his mouth or not, and sincerely praised this little girl's intelligence.
