Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 738 Arriving at the Mine
He didn't choose to hide in the deep mountains and old forests, so the speed of travel was much faster.

On the avenue, although it is easy to be exposed, after passing by Qin Zhuang and his party, Ding Yi thought of another solution.

Blindly hiding the traces will only make the Japanese imperial court guess wildly, it is better to show the signs.

After a rest, after a long day of driving, I finally arrived at the mine in the afternoon of the second day.

The buildings in the mine are very simple, mostly wooden houses, surrounded by wooden fences, which looks like a slum area.

The head of the mine had been notified long ago, and he was waiting outside with the steward of the mine.

He rejected this matter in his heart. After all, under his management, there was such a big problem in the mine. Now that the imperial court has sent someone, he still has to be held accountable!
Especially when he knew that the person who came was Shi Pinggong, he was a little desperate!This Shi Ping can't see anything on the day, he just thinks that he is pedantic about heaven and man, but as long as he studies carefully, he will know that although this man's behavior is absurd, he is full of hatred.

It might be feasible for this kind of person to let him handle the mine, but it doesn't matter to him!

Seeing Ding Yi's team, the chief immediately led the people forward to show his respect.

"The next official, Huang Ji, pays homage to Lord Shi Ping!" The chief editor saluted, followed by everyone behind him.

Ding Yi and his party were travel-laden and tired, and they couldn't help but relax when they saw their destination.

"Huang Ji? Are you the head of the No. 1 mine?"

"Yes!"

"Well, let's arrange the place first, and I'm a little tired after driving all the way!" Ding Yi is not in the mood to deal with other things now, and just wants to have a good sleep.

Huang Ji replied: "The lower official heard that the father-in-law is coming, and he has already ordered people to prepare the residence. Please come inside the father-in-law!"

He said this as a gesture of goodwill, as if he would not prepare a place if someone else came.

Ding Yi lived in the room that Huang Ji lived in. It was the only brick house in the mine, and the decoration in the room was also very particular.

But Ding Yi doesn't care about these, he only cares about whether the bed is comfortable or not.

As soon as I entered the room and put down my luggage, two maids came in with wooden buckets, followed by a few maids with buckets of hot water in their hands. It seemed that they were already ready.

He didn't say anything on the surface, but Ding Yi still recognized Huang Ji's flattering ability in his heart.

The maids put the tub in place, and stood aside obediently. When Ding Yi came over, they immediately came to help Ding Yi take off his clothes.

The maids were all dressed in light veils, their graceful figures were looming, and their soft, boneless hands slid back and forth on Ding Yi's body.

Suddenly, Ding Yi thought that in this mine full of men, there are so many women, it's not like sheep have entered the wolf's den, but since they are safe and sound.

This fucking thing must have been used by Huang Ji, otherwise it wouldn't be like this!
"Go down!" Ding Yi felt a chill, and waved them out.

Helpless, these women are from the Japanese country and can't understand Chinese, Ding Yi can only use hand gestures, coupled with a fierce expression, to scare them out.

After taking a shower, Huang Ji was knocking on the door.

"Grandpa, you have traveled thousands of miles, and the officials have prepared the special dishes of the Japanese country for you to wash away the dust!"

Hearing this, Ding Yi put on his clothes, pushed the door out, and took a look at Huang Ji.

"Let's go!"

At the banquet, Huang Ji sat at the head of Ding Yi, kept toasting Ding Yi, asked about the situation of Datang, and expressed his loyalty to the court even though he was in another country.

These, Ding Yi went in his left ear and out his right ear, and he was also picky about the dishes on the table, which didn't suit his appetite at all.

"Huang Ji, I'm here this time, one is on a mission, and the other is for the mine. The head of the No. [-] mine reported the situation here, and His Majesty was furious, and ordered me to deal with it. I'm here today, Everything in the mine is running normally, could it be that the head of No. [-] mine is cheating His Majesty?" Ding Yi took a sip of the sake strongly recommended by Huang Ji, and the taste was far worse!
When Huang Ji heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed, wondering: "Young master doesn't know something, this bandit hasn't come for half a month. Now that I think about it, I should have heard that my father is coming, so I restrained myself!"

"Oh?" Ding Yi was surprised, and said, "I am so famous? Even the bandits in the Wa Kingdom know my reputation?"

Huang Ji said flatteringly: "That is, the grandfather is not only famous in Japan, but even Silla, Baekje, and Western Turks, none of them know the reputation of the grandfather!"

"So, I'm more famous than Your Majesty?" Ding Yi looked at him with a half-smile, waiting for his answer.

Huang Ji was taken aback by Ding Yi's question, and quickly got up to apologize: "My lord, I made a mistake, how could my lord... this, Your Majesty..."

For a moment, he didn't know how to explain it. He already knew that this person was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect that just such a sentence would make him speechless.

"Okay, don't talk nonsense! I don't like to listen to nonsense, talk about the situation of the mine. Also, do you know where the gangsters are hiding?" Ding Yi didn't bother to argue with him, but this compliment was not enough. To be fair, I am not the kind of person who likes to be held up by others.

Huang Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead, but luckily this guy didn't care about it, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.

"My lord, the mine can now produce nearly ten thousand catties of gold ore every month, but... only less than [-]% of it is shipped back to the country every month, so I can only write a thousand catties in the monthly detailed report. Those hateful bandits , If we don't follow them, we will have a bloodbath. We will report this matter to the Japanese court, hoping to get help, but every time we shirk it. As for the location of the bandits, we don't know. They will come to check and accept on the second of every month. If they are not ready, they will kill people. Except for the second of every month, occasionally a small group of gangsters will come to blackmail."

Huang Ji said that there were snot and tears, and there were many tears. It was the tears of the listener and the hearer, as if he had suffered a lot here and desperately wanted the care and assistance of the court.

"Prepare a copy of the details of the mine for half a year for me!" Ding Yi suddenly remembered something, and asked, "These bandits have something to do with the Japanese court, you should know, right?"

Huang Ji was taken aback, and said in a flustered manner, "Grandpa, although the lower officials have suspected this matter, there is no real evidence, so we can't talk nonsense. After all, the country of Wa and our Tang Dynasty are also diplomatic relations."

"Well! I know! Tomorrow morning, let everyone gather. I have something to announce!" After Ding Yi said this, he got up and left.

After Huang Ji sent him away respectfully, he began to gather the people in the mine to prepare what Ding Yi wanted.

He is here, but there is no lack of corruption. After all, such a large amount of gold is in front of him, so it's no wonder he is not greedy!
But now that people want the details of the accounts, he has to explain it to the people under him first, so don't miss out on a business trip!
