I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Huo Xuan put down his pen and looked up at his eldest son. Seeing that he was not moved by His Majesty's praise, he couldn't help but nodded secretly, with a deeper smile on his face:

"You have done a good job in this matter. Since the Sacred Heart is like this, I think you also know what to do next."

"I understand." Huo Yu nodded and took out the silk picture from his arms.

This was sent by Pegasus after I finished painting it, and it was handed to him just before he entered the house.

"Copper mine?" Huo Xuan's pupils shrank suddenly.

"It is said that this mine has rich reserves and can mine 10,000 tons of brass every year." Huo Yu said calmly.

"The annual mining of ten thousand tons can be considered a giant mine." Huo Xuan looked strange again. He has been in the center for a long time and knows very well what the tens of thousands of tons of brass every year means to the country.

Dayu casts approximately 25 billion pieces of five-cup coins every year. Calculated at 3.5 grams per piece, plus losses, the annual copper consumption is about 9 tons.

If another 10,000 tons of brass could be added out of thin air, the coinage capacity would almost double, and the purchasing power would also reach a new level.

Da Yu was strong and prosperous, and the surrounding countries, including the Xiongnu, as well as the small countries in the Western Regions and Southeast Asia, were all willing to accept and use five-tree money. Therefore, as long as there is a continuous output of money, countless commodities will flow in from all directions. It will not cause inflation.

Huo Xuan took a few quick steps in the room, then suddenly stopped and looked at Huo Yu with piercing eyes: "Where did this news come from, and how credible is it?"

Huo Yu calmed down. Father and son have been together for many years, but he could not detect the silence in his father's words.

But no matter whether it was true or not, he didn't want to get to that point with her.

"This is exactly the purpose of my trip. I want to ask you for some good prospecting experts and go check it out as soon as possible." Huo Yu said confusedly.

Huo Xuan looked at his eldest son doubtfully and reminded him again: "You can take him away for a while. However, this matter must be kept strictly confidential and no information should be leaked."

This time, Huo Yu did not evade: "Aweng, don't worry, I know the importance."

Huo Xuan nodded, took the picture and studied it carefully, and after a long time said: "If this mine is proven to be true, it will not be reported in the short term. Do you understand?"

Huo Yu thought for a moment and guessed what he was thinking: "Aweng is thinking that after the new king ascends the throne..."

"Your Majesty has shown great favor to me as a member of the Huo family." Huo Xuan's eyes were filled with relief and he smiled: "And it is rare for you to become a member of the two thousand stone family at this age. Even if you make new achievements, it will be a rare thing. There is no hope of promotion, and it is easy to make others jealous. The current situation is unpredictable, and if we don’t keep someone behind, no matter who the new king is, he will always ensure the long-term prosperity of the Huo family."

"Aweng is far-sighted, and I feel inferior to him." Huo Yu solemnly said: "I will silence all relevant people to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

As soon as he left Huo Mansion with a few good surveyors, he saw a man riding a fast horse and rushed straight in front of him.

He Jian quickly stood in front of him and recognized that the person coming was the one who had sent the map before.

"Sir, it's not good!" The visitor was full of panic: "Suddenly there was a fire in the manor, and no one inside ran out!"

"What did you say!" Huo Yu was shocked and immediately ordered He Jian to return to Changling to mobilize troops. He abandoned the carriage and galloped back on his fast horse.

Before arriving at the manor, I could see black smoke filling the sky in the distance. Huo Yu's heart suddenly trembled for some unknown reason, and he almost fell off his horse.

Xingyi brought shredded chicken soup cakes and several side dishes. Luo Qianhuai had been hungry for a long time and ate in big mouthfuls. Only then did he think of Luo Zhaoyanshu and others who stayed in Changling. If Huo Yu knew that she had escaped, would he implicate them?

"Don't worry, Mrs. Luo." Xingyi said: "Young Master has arranged for manpower protection. It shouldn't take long, and Huo Yu won't be in danger."

After Xing Jiu withdrew, Luo Qianhuai wanted to take a nap, but suddenly he heard the system prompt.

"The self-test is completed and the system restarts successfully. Use the shortcut system to reach the peak of life! The shortcut system version 1.3 is happy to serve you!"

"Start to check the progress of the previous tasks. It is detected that some rewards are still unclaimed. Re-check the best extraction time..."

Luo Qianhuai was startled: "Can you please stop the system for a while, even if you wait until tomorrow to withdraw it?"

"Warning! It is found that the reward item 'White Jade Belt' has been irreparably damaged, and the reward extraction failed. Now start to evaluate the responsibility for the failure."

Luo Qianhuai breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If it breaks, we won't want it. This host is not that materialistic, so there is no need to hold you accountable for falling off the chain halfway."

"Dip, the evaluation is completed. The responsibility for this failure is divided into two parts: the host made the wrong dual-open request at the wrong time, causing the system program to be disordered, and bears 95% of the main responsibility. There is an internal BUG in this system that has not been resolved. Bear 5% secondary responsibility.”

Luo Qianhuai: "...System, didn't I say that version 1.3 has optimized the evaluation function? Are you sure you are not messing with this host?"

"Based on the failure assessment results, the following disciplinary measures are proposed for the host..."

"Wait!" Luo Qianhuai frowned and sat up: "Have you finished the system? The determination of responsibility is inherently unreasonable. Isn't it too much to punish based on this? I don't accept it and file a complaint immediately!"

"The appeal has been accepted. Submitting... Submitting... Submitting... Submitting..."

"Dip! Due to an unknown fault, the appeal submission failed. According to the relevant provisions of the shortcut system operation manual version 1.3, it is deemed that the host has no objection. Now the punishment content is announced: one social death. The specific content is randomly selected."

"The extraction is in progress. Please wait patiently, host... The extraction is successful."

"The content of the host's social death is 'discovered by listening to the corner', and the method will be immediately enforced by this system."

Luo Qianhuai's face was ashen as he was driven out of his body, and his body quickly got off the bed, without wearing any shoes, and walked out of the house silently.

Outside the house is a small courtyard, and the bluestone road is covered with thin ice, making it cold and hard to step on.

Xingyi should have gone to prepare fruit snacks for her and did not stay at the door.

There was no one else in the small courtyard, and the moonlight fell like water, reflecting the scattered branches of the courtyard trees all over the ground, giving it a somewhat elegant feel.

Luo Qianhuai didn't have the leisure to appreciate it at this moment.

The sound of breathing and talking came from the front yard, and it sounded like there were at least twenty people there.

The retreat drum in her heart was beating loudly: "System, let's discuss it again, why do we have to take such an extreme approach? You must know that it is not easy for this host to gain Mr. Mo's trust. If something like this happens, Even if I return to the pre-liberation period, I won’t be able to get any favors from me, so wouldn’t it be beneficial for you to be my portable system?”

"System, we are actually a group. Do you know what teamwork is? Do you know what it means to be prosperous and both prosperous and to suffer losses? We are in the same world, so we should avoid internal friction. From now on, we will put aside our past grudges, work hand in hand, and build brilliance together. how?"
