Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 667 Manchu Praise

  The wolf smoke is burning.

  The curling smoke billowed up.

  The nearby miners and the students of Xishan Academy all thought that something happened, or they were attacked by the Tatars, especially Jiang Chen, who almost sprinted towards the camp across the mountains.

   "Look, look, what is this, this is Jinsha, it's Jinsha..."

  Jiang Chen's mind was buzzing.

   Sands…

  He looked at Deng Jian, and Deng Jian looked smug: "I found these two grains in a place the size of a palm in the lake where I was drawing water, and I don't know how much more in the lake."

  Gold…

  Everyone's eyes are shining.

   And, a lot more…

  Jiang Chen cheered up: "When people gather later, let's go and have a look right away, come...get your tools..."

  Jiang Chen couldn't help being excited, this gold is a rare thing, and it's very valuable. Once a large amount of gold sand is found, this... See how valuable it will be.

  People came back gradually, and they were all excited when they learned that golden sand was found in the lake.

  Deng Jian was even more proud. He told the story of his discovery of Jinsha time and time again.

   It's just... After waiting for an hour, there is still a miner and a student who haven't come back.

   All of a sudden, Jiang Chen became a little anxious. Could it be that something happened?

He is holding a map and a compass, and the nearby mountains have been drawn into a map. Before each departure, everyone will confirm their itinerary with each other. These two people are going to a deep mountain in the northwest. Logically speaking, they see When we arrived at Langyan, after so long, it was time to come back.

But…

   "How about, let's go to the lake first."

"Wait a little longer." Jiang Chen frowned, and he couldn't help but said, "Be careful, maybe the nearby Tatars will notice the wolf smoke just now. Anyone who comes, get ready and take out the bow, arrow and sword , the aquatic plants here are not rich, and it cannot accommodate a large number of Tatar herdsmen to settle down, and their number will not be too many.

   After listening, everyone went to get weapons without saying much.

After waiting for another half an hour, two figures came in a hurry. The two men were panting with bamboo baskets on their backs. When they saw Jiang Chen and the others from a distance, they yelled: "Look, look, this man what is..."

  Everyone went forward, the two had already taken out the ore from the basket: "Look, what is this..."

  This stone is different from ordinary stones, and the experienced old miner immediately saw the strangeness in it.

   But everyone still dare not confirm, an old miner said: "Quickly, burn charcoal to make fire immediately, and find an iron pot.

  The crowd set up a bonfire, then found an iron pot, and threw the ore into it. After a while, the yellow water slowly flowed out, and someone yelled: "This is copper, it is brass, it is the best brass..."

  Jiang Chen's face turned blue with excitement.

  There is gold and there is copper!

  These two things, any one of which can be exchanged for silver at any time in the pass.

   Moreover, the mentor also said that there is coal, silver, and even... iron ore...

  This...is a treasure trove.

In the future, here, how many people will mine ores here, and then people will dig out coal, and then use coal to smelt countless ores. In the end, countless high-quality copper, gold, silver, and iron will come from this mountain. Among them, shipped out.

  In these countless mountains, how much wealth is hidden everywhere.

   "Immediately...edit the books for my teacher, hurry up!" Jiang Chen's excited voice was trembling.

"The rest of the people, starting tomorrow, continue to search for ore veins. All the ore veins must be confirmed, and then marked. Everywhere in the nearby mountains, there must be our footprints. First, we must find out the terrain and terrain here. At this time, we must keep it secret for the time being, even when we go to Lanzhou to buy food, we must not disclose it, everything is according to the teacher's instructions."

  Everyone was extremely excited and looked at Jiang Chen.

  Jiang Chen continued: "Don't worry, there is plenty of wealth here. You are looking for ore veins for your mentor. In the future, your mentor will never treat you badly."

  Joy has spread around the camp.

  Deng Jian blushed with joy.

  He realized that the young master didn't want to send him away, but that if there was really a difficult task for him to do, it seemed that he wasn't annoying. I just don't know if the young master's promise to my mother-in-law counts. If there are no seven, two will do.

  ...

  The situation in Cochin became more and more tense, and some small-scale rebellions had begun, but...Fang Jinglong was in charge of Thang Long, and these rebellions were nothing to worry about.

   But this is still worrying.

   Therefore, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were ordered into the warm pavilion.

  In the Nuan Pavilion, many ministers whispered, Emperor Hongzhi was enthroned, and all the ministers saluted.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the ministers and picked up a memorial: "These memorials, please read them. A few days ago, a person who falsely claimed to be the Annan royal family rebelled and gathered hundreds of people. Fortunately, , was suppressed in time, and the most abominable thing is that among the participants, there were three cochin scholars."

   Speaking of this, that Zhang Sheng's face was very ugly.

If it's just ordinary foolish people rebelling, it's okay to say, because it's hard for them to become a climate, but if there are scholars joining, these scholars often have deep-rooted ties to the local area, and they are literate, often more strategic, and it is easy Strengthen the rebels.

   "Cochin has always been like this, Your Majesty, don't worry, just ask Pingxihou to take more precautions."

  Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "The fundamental problem of cochinism lies in the alienation of the scholars. If they refuse to attach themselves sincerely, sooner or later one day... hey..."

  Emperor Hongzhi sighed.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a cold face again: "What's even more frightening is that before the uprising, these traitors actually surrounded the former residence of Ruan Wen, a loyal and brave minister of the Ming Dynasty, captured Ruan Wen's family members, and killed Ruan Wen. A son of Ruan Wen, and a concubine of Ruan Wen, known as Ruan Wen is the dog of Daming, a scum of the Annan Kingdom, and burned Ruan Wen's mansion. With so many credits, the imperial court rewarded him and made him honor his hometown, but...these damned traitors actually killed my Ming Zhongliang, Wu Aiqing, Ruan Qing's family is fine now."

  Ruan Wen's house was ransacked...

  Fang Jifan was stunned, I'm sorry, these **** traitors are really arrogant.

This Ruan Wen was previously an envoy of Annan Kingdom. After Annan was destroyed, Emperor Hongzhi believed that he had made great contributions to the court, so he stayed in the capital and took up an official position. However, he was a foreigner after all. In Honglu Temple, there is no other place to stay, so I still live in Honglu Temple temporarily.

  The person Emperor Hongzhi asked was Wu Shuqing, Minister of Honglu Temple.

After hearing this, Wu Shuqing hurriedly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Ruan Wen also learned the bad news when the minister came. I heard that the rebels raided his hometown, killed his son and concubine, and the rest of the family members did not know whereabouts , After vomiting half a liter of blood, she fainted, and now, the doctor is in for treatment, so I think there will be no serious problems."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and then his eyes fell on Fang Jifan: "Jifan, what do you think about this matter?"

  Fang Jifan held back for a long time, not knowing what to say.

   Ruan Wen made a huge sacrifice for my Ming Dynasty.

  Thinking about it now, those rebels, who regarded Ruan Van as a national traitor, hacked his whole family to death...seemed to have some truth.

Fang Jifan cried and mourned: "I am very sad, heartbroken, Ruan Wenzhong is loyal and loyal, and I never imagined that the rebels are so frantic, I... my heart is so painful, my heart is so painful, my heart is like a knife. I think that you should immediately In Beijing, for Ruan Wen's family, set up a tomb and order people to sacrifice. At the same time, His Majesty should issue an edict to honor Ruan Wen's family, old and young. This is full of loyalty, Your Majesty... I am in Jiaozhi, and the more loyal ministers there are, where are they? Are you still worried about the rebellion in this area?"

   "..."

  In the Snapper, there was an unusual silence.

  Actually, many people know what's going on.

   To be honest, Fang Jifan... is really dark enough.

   But it seems that the black people are only Cochin people, so what can I say?

Fang Jifan said again: "I also heard that Ruan Wen is a big family in Jiaozhi, and his family is flourishing in Jiaozhi. This time, the Ruan family in Jiaozhi has suffered such a family change. Your Majesty should order Ruan Wen to go back to Jiaozhi. He served Daming first, served the country, and secondly, comforted the people of Jiaozhi, exposed the rebellious party, such a loyal and loyal person, if Daming doesn’t use it, who else can he use?”

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

  The family business of more than a dozen generations was burned by the rebels. It is said that even his ancestors were killed by the rebels who opened their coffins and slaughtered their bodies. His son was killed and his concubine was gone. Is he afraid that he is not loyal enough to Daming?

   And this person is familiar with the details of Jiaozhi, and he is still very well connected in Jiaozhi. After all, he is from a wealthy family. Letting him go to Jiaozhi may... really help.

   "In that case, Ouyang Qing's family, you are in charge of drafting the edict." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ouyang Zhi.

  Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment, and said, "What edict does your Majesty want?"

"Respect Ruan Wen's loyalty, as well as the loyalty of the Ruan family, so that all the soldiers and civilians in the four seas will know the feats of their family. In addition, I ordered Ruan Wen to be the torture envoy of Jiaozhi, and treat his body After he is safe, he will immediately go to Jiaozhi to take up his post, and he will be in charge of criminal and prison affairs, and at the same time arrest rebels and rebels."

   "The minister... obeys the order."

  Fang Jifan couldn't help feeling at this time: "It's really not easy for Ruan Wen. His loyalty to me, Daming, is afraid that few people in the world can do it."

   All the ministers held their faces, and finally someone nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, yes, this kind of loyalty is rare in the world."

   "Good man!" Zhu Houzhao chuckled, seeing many people looking over, he hurriedly put on a straight face and expressed emotion.

  ………

  Recently, I raised it for a few days, and then it started to explode. The main reason is that my work and rest are not good. Well, try my best to adjust.
