Chapter 8

"What's the matter?" said Zhuang Yisheng.

"Can we stay in the Wutong Sect temporarily, we have nowhere to go now, besides, my father is still sick. ”

"Of course this ......" Zhuang Yisheng paused and said, "Of course not." ”

Zhuang Yisheng suddenly remembered that he still lacked helpers, and he spent all the five million taels casually, could he still be the commander of the light pole.

Qiu Lanpei in front of him happened to be his helper.

Qiu Lanpei's face was overshadowed.

"But ......"

"But what?" asked Qiu Lanpei hurriedly.

"But as long as you do things for me, and I pay you for your wages, it will be the rent for the two of you. ”

Qiu Lanpei hurriedly nodded, paused and said, "What does Childe want me to do?"

She stared at Zhuang Yisheng vigilantly, and her hands subconsciously clenched her chest.

Zhuang Yisheng said: "You go to the city, find someone to inquire, see how much silver taels are needed to mine Xingyao Mine, hire workers, and buy tools." ”

"It turned out to be this thing. Qiu Lanpei breathed a sigh of relief, and said confusedly: "What is the son doing when he asks about this?"

"Open the mine. Zhuang Yisheng knocked on the stone wall behind him.

"Where is the mine in the Wutong faction...... Qiu Lanpei shook his head: "Childe, have you been deceived, the Wutong faction has no mines at all, I grew up here, how can I not know." ”

Zhuang Yisheng waved his hand, let you go, why do you spend so much words.

"Hurry up, go back, go back. ”

"Yes. ”

She entered the city and began to inquire about mining. At present, the mining industry is very developed in Nanyan country, as long as the ore can be dug out of the ground, it can often make gold every day.

Therefore, there are workers who specialize in this industry, and they are all gathered in the central square market in the capital.

By inquiring about people, Qiu Lanpei learned that if he wanted to dig the mine and dig out the ore, the miscellaneous things would add up, and at least 500,000 taels would be needed.

500,000 taels!

Qiu Lanpei thought to himself, let's go back and persuade Zhuang Yisheng to dispel this idea.

"Yo, isn't this Miss Qiu, fate fate, I can meet you here. ”

A shrill voice sounded, and Qiu Lanpei turned his head to see Zhou Kang leading a few followers standing behind him.

"Zhou Kang, what are you doing, I don't owe you any money anymore. Qiulan said.

"Why, if you think you hug your thighs, you don't have to look at my son. ”

Zhou Kang sneered: "I have inquired clearly, that person is Your Majesty's junior brother, and he deceived five million taels from His Majesty, and now he has become a poor bastard." ”

"Your father's illness costs money, and it takes a lot of money, and that poor egg can support you. ”

"In the end, you will still ask for the head of this son, and by that time, I will not be as good at talking as I am now. ”

Qiu Lanpei's face showed anger, and he suddenly remembered what Zhuang Yisheng said to himself, and blurted out:

"Dream of your dreams, the Sycamore faction has discovered the Star Mine, and when the ore is mined, we will have money, and we don't have to borrow anyone's money. ”

"Wutong faction has a mine, or is it a star mine......"

Zhou Kang's face was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed heartily: "You are poor and crazy, Xingyao Stone only has a few minerals in the Southern Yan Kingdom, and the imperial court has been looking for it for a long time, but it has not been found again." ”

"If there is ore within easy reach of the capital, do you think no one will know? ”

Qiu Lanpei also became apprehensive in his heart, Zhou Kang's words may not be unreasonable.

She didn't want to talk any more, so she turned and left.

Zhou Kang laughed behind her: "Then you can follow that poor bastard to dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival, don't worry, when you are desperate, come and ask this son, and this son will definitely love you well." ”

Qiu Lanpei didn't stop, all the way back to the Wutong faction.

"How about it, do you have to inquire clearly, how many silver taels do you need?" Zhuang Yisheng asked.

"I've asked others, and I need at least 500,000 taels. ”

"It's so expensive!" Zhuang Yisheng was also startled.

"If we just dig out the cave and don't mine it completely, how much silver will we need?" Zhuang Yisheng asked again.

"This ...... I didn't ask. ”

"How many workers, how much time, and how much manpower does it take to mine ore?" said Zhuang Yisheng.

"This ...... I forgot to ask. Qiu Lanpei said embarrassedly.

Zhuang Yisheng felt some pain in his braincase, and Qiu Lanpei was completely useless.

"That...... I'll inquire again tomorrow, and this time I remember it clearly, and I will definitely inquire clearly. Qiu Lanpei said embarrassedly.

Zhuang Yisheng waved his hand weakly, anyway, he knew that the figure was about 500,000 taels before he could mine the Xingyao Stone, and his current silver was completely insufficient.

Now I have a silver tael of my own.

"The Sycamore faction has no mines at all. ”

Qiu Lie, the former head of the Wutong faction, said suddenly.

Since he was injured, his head has become a little unclear, and the spirit is not working from time to time, which is why the Wutong faction has ended up in such a situation.

Zhuang Yisheng didn't pay attention to him at all, maybe Qiu Lanpei's bad head was inherited by him.

The problem now is that I know that there is a mine under the mountain, and I need money to mine it, but I don't have the money.

Zhuang Yisheng threw the silver grain in his hand into the air, and said in his heart:

"Zero, how can you turn one tael of silver into five hundred thousand taels?"

"The amount of computation is too large, and if you force the computation, the host will be killed on the spot."

Well, I didn't ask.

Zhuang Yisheng returned to the inner hall of the main hall, still worried about this matter.

Qiu Lanpei also blamed himself a little, it was all because of himself that Zhuang Yisheng spent an extra two million taels to buy the Wutong Pie, and now he has spent all the money.

When it was dark, a red shadow suddenly flashed, and Qiu Lanpei seemed to see a figure floating into Zhuang Yisheng's room.

Your Majesty!

Qiu Lanpei was shocked, what did she come to do.

Zhuang Yisheng was sitting in the room, when suddenly a burst of aroma hit, he raised his head and saw a red dress appear in front of him.

"Senior sister, why are you here?"

"What, I'm not welcome?" The empress stared at Zhuang Yisheng with straight eyes: "Yes, the first time you left the palace, you went to Yanchun Tower, and spent five million to buy the Wutong Pie, spending a lot of money for your face, you are very generous." ”

"This ...... I'm mainly here to open a mine. Zhuang Yisheng said.

"I went to Qinglou to open a mine, what mine, it will flow. The Empress said sourly.

"Is there really a mine under the Sycamore Pie?"

Zhuang Yisheng nodded hurriedly.

"What mine?"

"Star Stone. ”

"Huh. ”

The empress laughed: "It's not that the imperial court has not explored nearby, if you can mine the star stone, it will be a huge boost to the national strength, we haven't found it, you have identified the mine here." ”

"It's true, if you can't mine by then, I'll see you. ”

"What do I want your head to do. The empress pinched Zhuang Yisheng's ears: "I like you as a person, if you can't mine the ore, roll up and go to the palace to sleep." ”

"Don't go to the Qinglou again. ”

Before leaving, the empress left another cruel word.

"Otherwise, I'll click on you, and destroy what I can't get, with my own hands. ”

Zhuang Yisheng's legs tightened, and the empress had already drifted away.
