"It's gold!" Liu Chu held a piece of gold ore and looked at Wen Yinian with a smile.

Wen Yinian lost the shovel in his hand, and hurriedly ran over, staring at the gold ore in Liu Chu's hand, looking at it non-stop.

"It's indeed gold! I'm rich! I have to report it quickly!" Wen Yinian looked a little excited, his task was completed.

"Bicomb, I can live with you wholeheartedly. Wen Yinian muttered to himself again.

"You have to seal this first, how many people do you have?" asked Liu Chu.

"I, I'm just the commander of the bare pole, as well as my second and third brothers, and I have more than 20 subordinates, but they are not from the imperial court, I have snare them. Wen Yinian said.

"Just these people? I definitely can't keep this gold mine, I don't know how big the gold mine is, if it is really a gold vein, under the temptation of huge interests, even if we announce that this is the gold mine of the imperial court, there will be people who will take risks. Liu Chu frowned.

"If the guardian force is not enough, don't send people to guard here, if you send people to guard here, it will attract the attention of some people. Anyway, we know that there are only a few of us in the gold mine here, so let's just not talk about it. Wen Yinian suggested.

"Well, yes, that's a way, so let's do it. Liu Chu nodded.

From this message back to Chang'an, it will take less than a week to go back and forth, but I don't know who Emperor Wei will send to deal with this gold mine.

"Let's go, go down the mountain and meet my second and third brothers. Wen Yinian took the gold ore from Liu Chu's hand, stuffed it back in, and then sealed it with soil.

"Wait, there's still something to do before we go. Liu Chu stopped Wen Yinian.

"What's the matter?" Wen Yinian asked suspiciously.

Liu Chu pointed to the scarred and naked corpses.

"Now that you have seen it, you will help bury it and bury it in the ground. Liu Chu said.

"Uh. Wen Yinian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Liu Chu to have such a side.

Liu Chu squatted down, closed Yuan Hu's eyes, and then stripped him naked and covered the corpses.

Liu Chu and Wen Yinian transported the body outside, dug a few pits, buried the body in it, and set up a few wooden signs, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness.

After descending the mountain, Liu Chu and Wen Yinian did not see Zong Tianhua and Fan Yongzhi, but Wen Yinian saw one of his subordinates.

"My lord, Master Zong and Master Fan left first with their brothers and a few women, and sent me here to wait for your lord to come down the mountain. The subordinate said.

On this day, the people of Beiyi City were shocked to find that the door of the yamen was opened, the plaque of the yamen was wiped clean, and the "Dengwen drum" at the door was also wiped spotlessly.

A saber catcher came out of the yamen, yes, a sword, generally a head catcher with a sword, but he is a sword.

The head catcher read out a message, and all the bandits in Funiu Mountain were ambushed.

"The bandits of Funiu Mountain have been exterminated? No wonder I saw that there seemed to be a fire on the side of Funiu Mountain that day, it turned out that our county commander took people to suppress the bandits. Someone said.

"Our county commander has been absent from the Yamen, is it just to suppress bandits?"

"It should be, I heard that the gang of bandits in Funiu Mountain is not easy to mess with, our adults are really powerful. Someone else praised.

The people of Beiyi City are still quite simple, always thinking about the good of others, and not maliciously speculating about the bad of others.

Although the people of Beiyi City have never passed through Funiu Mountain, and they have another shortcut to go out, they feel that since the bandits of Funiu Mountain were exterminated by their county commander of Beiyi City, then they have to celebrate, right?

Therefore, in the next few days, every house in Beiyi City will be decorated with lights, and there will be dragon and lion dances on the streets, and people who don't know will think that this is an early New Year.

Liu Chu crossed Erlang's legs, and Wen Yinian next to him was peeling oranges for him. Since they returned to Beiyi City, Liu Chu took Wen Yinian and them to clean the yamen well, how to say that it is also a public place, if it is too dirty, if it is looked at, won't it be a loss of face?

Liu Chu took the peeled oranges handed over by Wen Yinian, and he guessed that after receiving the news, Emperor Wei might first send the northern frontier army to guard the gold mine.

Because Emperor Wei knew that this was likely to be a gold vein and more than one gold mine, and it was the best way to send a group of border troops to guard it.

......

Chang'an Imperial Palace, in the Nine Poles Palace.

"Wei Infinity, do you say that this Liu Chu, has you arrived in Beiyi City?" Emperor Wei has just finished reviewing a batch of folds, and there seem to be a lot of folds at the end of this year, which used to be completed in half a day, but now it takes a whole day, and sometimes even has to be done until midnight.

But if Emperor Wei counted carefully, he found that the twists and turns had not increased much compared to the past, but he didn't want to admit that he had been a little powerless recently.

Emperor Wei is a sick body, I am afraid many people have forgotten this. It can't be said that they have forgotten that they were probably deceived by the good mental outlook shown by Emperor Wei.

"Back to Your Majesty, counting the days, it should have come, and it should have been several days. Wei replied.

Emperor Wei nodded, and at this time, a carrier pigeon landed on the window of the Nine Poles Palace, which was an ordinary carrier pigeon.

"Huh?" Emperor Wei opened the note tied to the pigeon's leg, and saw the words of the dog at a glance, and instantly knew whose letter it was.

"The exact location of the gold mine? This stupid boy was lucky, but he was meant to find out. Emperor Wei put down the note and put his hands behind his back.

"I don't know where Liu Tianzhao is. Emperor Wei muttered to himself.

More than a week ago, he wrote a letter asking Liu Tianzhao to lead his troops from Xuzhou to Jizhou.

Emperor Wei, I have already thought about it, after the gold mine in Beiyi City was developed, Liu Tianzhao led the Liu family army to take care of it.

In fact, a long time ago, Emperor Wei had figured out how to make this move, the gold mine in Beiyi City, he really didn't know the specific location? In fact, he had known it for a long time, but he hadn't excavated it.

There are two reasons or functions for not digging.

The first point is that scarcity is expensive, and he does not want gold to drop in price so quickly, if a large amount of gold is mined, then the exchange power of gold and goods will decrease, which will cause a national economic crisis.

Second, he wanted to leave the credit for the discovery of gold to some younger generations. Wen Yinian and the three of them, after Emperor Wei informed the Qiu family of the news of the gold mine, the Qiu family relayed it to Lu Zhengxuan, and then Lu Zhengxuan sent people to Beiyi City to keep an eye on them.

Originally, I wanted to throw this credit to Wen Yinian, Wen Yinian was a material that could be made, but in the more than four years that he arrived in Beiyi City, he wandered blindly in the first year, and completely immersed himself in gambling in the last three years, so the search for gold mines was much slower.

But Wen Yinian is not really good at gambling, he is just for the girl named Weng Bisou.

It's good now, half of this credit has been given to Liu Chu, Emperor Wei is also quite happy, the higher Liu Chu's credit, the better, and when Emperor Wei wants to reuse him in the future, many people can keep their mouths shut.

Emperor Wei did intend to send the Northern Frontier Army to garrison the gold mines, but he thought of what He Bu said, and He Bu suggested that he move the Liujia army to Jizhou, Jiangzhou, and Yangzhou.

In fact, Emperor Wei also had this idea a long time ago, and now taking advantage of the gold mine, he can just use the excuse to transfer the 250,000 Liujia troops under Liu Tianzhao, and then slowly transfer the army from Jizhou to Xuzhou.

As Liu Chu traveled to one place after another, Emperor Wei's layout could be slowly closed, and Emperor Wei had already laid out the whole country, just waiting for a suitable opportunity, and Liu Chu was that opportunity.
