There are precedents in the history of the Red Chamber

Shi Zhongzhu didn't notice all this, and now Shi Zhongzhu is busy with gold mining matters, he has to worry about the lack of manpower, confidential transportation, personnel management, and loading and unloading.Now that Dong Shan is here, he has to take him to familiarize himself with the situation, while explaining and working at the same time, he is very tired.

The only time I have to sneak away from my busy schedule is dedicated to Little Mingzhu and Little An'an, and I am exhausted every day.

Dong Shan's ability to work is really strong, when Shi Zhongzhu was gradually able to leave some peripheral affairs to him alone, Su Hao came over.

"grown ups,……"

"Hey, Brother Su Hao, now you and I are on the same level. In terms of seniority, I should call you an adult." Shi Zhongzhu said politely after not seeing Su Hao for a long time.

Su Hao said seriously: "My lord gave me charcoal in the middle of nowhere. Su Hao is a rough man, he can't speak nice words. I will remember this kindness in my heart."

Shi Zhongzhu accepted Su Hao's formal surrender as a matter of course, but he came for the title of Marquis of Zhongjia, and the status of the Bowling Marquis Mansion and Zhongjing Marquis Mansion in the capital. Su Hao is capable, and the paternal relationship is tense, and the matrilineal relationship is tense. Basically cut off, a lonely family, more loyal to his use, thinking this way, Shi Zhongzhu felt that his subordinate Su Hao could not lose.

"Brother Su Hao came here in such a hurry, what's the matter?"

"Oh." Su Hao patted his head before thinking about the business, "My people in the Li family village came to report that recently the young and middle-aged people in the village always go out together. I don't know where they went. When they came back, they looked very sad. Tired. I overheard their conversation and mentioned one or two words that digging is very tiring. I wonder if the Yi people have found a new gold mine and are mining it secretly?"

"Is there such a rich gold deposit in Anshun?" Shi Zhongzhu asked, and immediately realized that this is no nonsense, without those people digging.He asked again: "Is the news still certain? Are your people trustworthy?"

"My people have been in Lijiazhai for decades, and they are absolutely credible. He also said that many mountain people from the Miao, Yi, and Dong people participated in it. It should have been discussed long ago. Among them, the Miao people The biggest leader is Nu Xiong from Huazha Village, he has a hot temper, even he can control his violent temper, and he didn't reveal it to the outside, which shows that this matter is mysterious." Su Hao said.

"Well, there must be a reason for the groundless rumors. I have been busy with the third batch of gold mines entering Beijing recently. I can't get away. You have been in Anshun for many years and it is convenient to do things. Go and find out carefully. Listen to your count , this matter can be obtained from that Miao man who begs Hua... what?"

"Nuxiong Huazha, Nu Xiong is the first name, Huazha is the name of the village, most Miao people use the village name as their surname." Su Hao explained.

"En, um, Nu Xiong Huazha, try to get some information out of him." Shi Zhongzhu ordered as a matter of course, and seeing Su Hao's response, he also urged: "Be careful."

Shi Zhongzhu didn't care if he handed over the matter to Su Hao. After all, security work is Su Hao's specialty. When it rained a month later, when someone came to report Su Hao's visit, Shi Zhongzhu understood the seriousness of the matter.

"Master, Tongzhi Su Hao is here to visit." The servant came to report.

Su Hao is also a frequent visitor to the government office, Shi Zhongzhu said casually, "Please come in, it's not outside..."

Before Shi Zhongzhu finished speaking, Su Hao had already strode in. He didn't make any fuss when he entered the door, and went straight to: "My lord, there is something urgent!"

Seeing him looking around for a week, Shi Zhongzhu understood, "Go, you go and inform Madam, Yannian, Qubing, Nanshan, and send someone out of the mansion to inform Pharmacist, Yu Xie, Niu Pu, hurry, hurry." Shi Zhongzhu looked at Su Hao's face I knew something big was going to happen, and I didn't even know about it, so I immediately notified important personnel to come over.

The servants of the government office also had good eyesight, and they didn't even serve the tea to the guests, so they returned it immediately.Su Hao was drenched all over, wiped his face with his hands and said: "The reason why the Yi people went out mysteriously has been found out, it's not digging gold mines secretly, they want to make the mountain god angry?"

"What? The mountain god is angry?" Shi Zhongzhu was surprised. What is this, a religious ceremony?

"Well, they dug up the trees on the mountain, exposed the land, and built a dam on the upper reaches of the river. Recently, Anshun has been raining a lot. Once they open the dam to release water and anger the mountain god, the mountain will definitely burst into floods!"

"Mountain torrent! Mudslide!" Shi Zhongzhu exclaimed, without Su Hao's further explanation, he already understood how to mine gold without destroying the vegetation on the surface. Their current mining has already caused serious damage to the ecology, and these barbarians deliberately If it is destroyed, those golden mountains will just be affected.

"Stupid, they really are barbarians! Barbarians!" Shi Zhongzhu scolded angrily. You must know that Shi Zhongzhu used to call them "mountain people" at most, and people who live in the mountains called them minorities in his heart. Unexpectedly, they did this at all. What a fool!

"Aren't they afraid that they will also suffer if they cause mountain floods?"

"Of course I'm not afraid. When the time comes, all the barbarians will take refuge in the temple. What's more, they have sacrifices, and the mountain god will not blame them." Su Hao explained that the rules of the barbarians in the mountains are still his. People with origins know it clearly.

"Bullshit!" Shi Zhongzhu scolded feudal superstition in his heart, and felt that something was wrong, and asked: "Where is the temple built? How long has it been built? What materials are used?"

"The temple was built on the top of the mountain, using stones as materials, and it took generations of Yi people to build it. It is magnificent!"

Built on a mountain, it can naturally avoid mudslides and floods, Shi Zhongzhu suggested.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, when are they going to anger the mountain god?"

"Just tonight."

"What! Tonight! Then why are you still sitting here? Quick, quick, send someone to stop them. Quick, if necessary, kill them directly. I'll take care of things for you. Quick, quick!" Shi Zhongzhu I'm crazy, it's already afternoon, and the mountain road is not easy to walk, so why bother!

"My lord, my lord! Don't panic, I've already sent someone there!"

"Can you not panic... Oh, I have already sent someone, just send someone, how many people did you send?" Shi Zhongzhu asked.

"200 people, all of them are good players in the army, no problem."

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay."

After saying a few words, the people Shi Zhongzhu invited had already returned, and the few people in the mansion were naturally very fast. They waited in the side hall for Yu Xie, Pharmacist, Niu Pu and others to come in before they came in together. Thanks to the recent For the sake of the gold mine, Niu Pu is also stationed in Anshun, otherwise he really wouldn't be able to arrive so soon.

"Everyone is here, go to the study immediately." Shi Zhongzhu ordered.Several big men went to the study together, Wei Zhenniang brought the maids to make tea, and planned to deliver it herself, so as not to let more people have the opportunity to get in touch with the secrets.

"Qubing, bring the map, the big map near the gold mine." Shi Zhongzhu commanded him as soon as he entered the door.

"Everyone, look at the map. Just now, Tongzhi Su Hao said that the barbarians built a dam on the mountain, preparing to cause a mountain torrent and destroy the gold mine. If you see it, Lord Su Hao has sent someone to stop it. Now we..."

"Tuk-tuk-tuk!" Suddenly there was an urgent knock on the door.

"Who!" Shi Zhongzhu asked.

Wei Zhenniang responded: "Yaoyun, it's me, open the door quickly, it's a big deal!"

Yannian, who was closest to the door, opened it, Wei Zhenniang stepped in with an arrow, and behind her were two strong servants supporting a bloody, wounded man who hadn't been bandaged yet.Wei Zhenniang explained: "This is..."

"Ali, Ali, what's wrong with you?" Su Hao shouted before Wei Zhenniang could speak. Ali is his personal soldier, and he is the leader of the team to stop the mountain people this time.

"Master, all my brothers are gone, I'm the only one who escaped, the barbarians have rebelled! Rebelled!" Ali shouted loudly, and passed out after speaking.

Shi Zhongzhu took out the silver needle from the desk drawer, brushed it for a few needles, this Ali woke up faintly again, Su Hao took Ali's hand and said: "Be clear, what's going on? Where did you meet the barbarians?" How many of them are there?" "In Jinfeng Mountain, the Buyi, Miao, and Yi people all turned against each other. There were no fewer than [-] young and strong private armies in each family, and there was a mass of darkness. The number of people on several hilltops, the specific number, belonged to I don't know what to say." Ali explained these intermittently, and then passed out after speaking.

Shi Zhongzhu didn't wake him up again, and the matter was basically clear.

Shi Zhongzhu walked quickly to the desk, looked at the map carefully, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes and ordered: "Yu Xie, you should come to the government office according to the people on the list. Organize people from the eastern and western cities to retreat to the mountains, and make it clear that people are the most important thing, don't worry about property! The northern and southern cities are on a higher terrain and are not within the range of the flood, so they should also send messengers to explain clearly to them. In the countryside outside the city, each village sends a The yamen servant made it clear to the head of the village to organize the retreat and retreat to the barracks in Ninggu Village, Niu Pu, you are in charge of stabilizing the order of the barracks and receiving the people who come."

"Pharmacist, you order 5000 people, and after an hour, go to the foot of Jinfeng Mountain to meet Su Hao. Su Hao, you take Ali with you. Only he knows the specific situation. Let him rest for an hour and lead the way when the time comes." He took out another bottle of medicine from the drawer, and said, "This is refreshing, but it's too overbearing, so don't use it much."

"Nanshan, you organize the merchants in the city, especially those who are in the business of medicinal materials. Pay attention to recruiting doctors and keeping the medicinal materials. When the time comes to rescue the disaster, we have done it in Guangyuan. You know how to do it."

"Yannian, take my seal and go to Guiyang to mobilize troops. I'll write a letter right away, and you bring it to Mu Nai and Deng Yi."

"Okay, that's it, you go down and implement it!"

A few people went out, now only Qu Bing and Wei Zhenniang were left in the room, the two women who were helping others had already left.

Shi Zhongzhu took Wei Zhenniang's hand and said: "Zhenniang, Zhenniang, take the children and retreat to the Ningguzhai military camp, protect the children!"

"What about you, what about you, won't you go with us?" Wei Zhenniang firmly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Let's go together, let's go together, you can command on the road, even in the barracks, go together!"

"Zhenniang, Zhenniang! Calm down! I can't leave, I have more important things to do, protect myself and my child, don't worry, I will be fine!" Shi Zhongzhu knew that the situation was urgent, and he didn't want to waste any more time , urged: "Hurry up, if you delay any longer, you will die! Go pick up the child!"

After sending Wei Zhenniang away, Shi Zhongzhu ordered Qu Bing to say, "I'm afraid the barbarians are here for me this time. They will probably catch my wife and children and threaten me. Qu Bing, you are most familiar with Anshun, so I will entrust their safety to you." Here it is. After you arrive at Ninggu Village, the first is to protect them, and the second is to assist Niu Pu in handling affairs. If Niu Pu makes any changes, kill them!"

"Yes, master." Qu Bing responded simply, without making bold words, turned around and went out to prepare.
