Marry the Regent [Time Travel]
Chapter 62 Gold Mine
"Taoist?" He Yuan was a little surprised, because he felt that there was no need for him to deal with Taoist priests, so he ordered, "Don't worry about him, if he is alone, he can't stop our way and drive him away. We Let us go."
But when encountering such a non-serious collision, He Yuan usually would not think of punishing others. Song Quan was used to this, and left as usual when he got the order, but those on the side thought that Taoist priests would be fine. His subordinate Qi Qi was taken aback.
He Yuan is not generous, but from the perspective of modern people, there is no need to care about such small facts as blocking the way. For him, there are ways to establish prestige. If someone really violated his bottom line, he still wouldn't let it go easily.
A group of people continued to follow He Yuan with different thoughts, and after walking for a short time, they saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist standing proudly on the road ahead, which was very eye-catching on the empty street.
Song Quan came in a hurry: "My lord, the Taoist priest insists on seeing you, and my subordinates dare not make their own decisions, so please tell me clearly."
He Yuan frowned.
Xue Yunzhou couldn't help laughing: "Tell him, we don't want to become immortals, we don't take elixir, and we don't need Taoist leaders."
A bit of surprise appeared on Song Quan's usually calm face, and he said: "He has calculated what the princess said, and said that the prince is an extraordinary person, and he is destined to be reused by the prince, and the prince will definitely meet him."
The corners of Xue Yunzhou's eyes twitched when he heard it, and he quickly leaned into He Yuan's ear and asked, "This is not a fortune-teller, is it? Could it be that he has calculated that we are not natives here, and is using this to blackmail us?"
"A Taoist priest looking for a dignitary is nothing more than alchemy. It's not difficult for him to guess what you're saying, and he shouldn't have that supernatural power." After He Yuan finished speaking, he turned to Song Quandao, "Bring him here."
Xue Yunzhou had a look of "you see, you see": "He said you would definitely meet him, and he was right again."
He Yuan gave him a funny look: "Then you can try to see if he has supernatural powers."
The Taoist priest was quickly brought over by Song Quan, and when he saw He Yuan, he raised his eyelids and looked him up indistinctly, then closed his eyes slightly again, raised his whisk, and saluted to him and Xue Yunzhou respectively, and then said softly: " Pindao is not bad as expected, the prince has a very good face, he is definitely not an ordinary person."
He Yuan didn't take his words seriously, he was already a prince, how could he be an ordinary person if his face could be so bad, what this Taoist priest said was simply nonsense.
Xue Yunzhou seemed to know what He Yuan was thinking, and laughed "puchi" beside him.
He Yuan didn't want to talk nonsense, so he went straight to the point: "The Taoist chief is blocking the way here, why?"
The Taoist smiled slightly: "Looking at the sky at night, the poor Taoist saw a new extremely bright star above Qingzhou. Looking at this star, it can be deduced that the prince's destiny is extraordinary, and judging from the fate of the poor Taoist, the poor Taoist will also occupy it under the prince's tent." I just came here to block the way, and I hope the prince will forgive me for the crime of colliding with the poor."
He said forgiveness, but there was no trace of panic on his face. Xue Yunzhou couldn't help asking after hearing his clichéd astrology theory: "Then have you calculated your own lifespan?"
The Taoist smiled and shook his head: "This is a heavenly secret, and the heavenly secret must not be revealed."
"Oh, you mean you can't figure it out, don't you?"
"No, Pindao can calculate that he must live a long life. As for how long he will live, that is a secret."
Xue Yunzhou looked at him with an expression of looking at a magic stick, and said speechlessly: "My lord can kill you now, how can you live so long?"
The Taoist still had a smile on his face, shook his head again, and said firmly, "My lord won't."
Xue Yunzhou saw that he was always there, so he couldn't help becoming interested, he waved his hands and said, "Come on, come on, let's see what my fate is like?"
The Taoist stepped forward, looked him up and down, nodded and said: "The princess is a person who enjoys blessings. She has been sheltered by others since she was a child. It can be said that she wants the wind to get the wind and the rain to get the rain. This blessing is really rare."
Xue Yunzhou froze for a moment, and couldn't help but glance at He Yuan.
He Yuan was also a little surprised. He originally thought that this Taoist priest had done a lot of research, and his words seemed to hide secrets, but he actually watched the dishes. However, Xue Yunzhou's identity is known all over the world, and no one would think that he was expelled from his father since he was a child. The government is considered blessed, and it would not feel blessed to be married to the regent who has an extremely bad reputation. The so-called "being sheltered since childhood" is a bit like Xue Yunzhou's modern life.
Xue Yunzhou also felt that the Taoist was talking about his own fate, not the fate of the original owner of this body, so he couldn't help being a little nervous. After all, if the Taoist could see his origin, he could also see He Yuan's origin. When they grow up, the two will lose the blessing of their current identities, and they will probably encounter great trouble.
But this Taoist priest is here to surrender, so he shouldn't easily become an enemy of them.
To be cautious, Xue Yunzhou didn't intend to test any more, and asked instead: "You think you will be reused by the prince?"
The Taoist priest looked proud, raised his head and said, "Exactly!"
What are you so proud of? !
The corner of Xue Yunzhou's mouth twitched: "Then have you figured out where the prince will use you?"
The Taoist nodded and smiled, "Of course I figured it out."
Xue Yunzhou thought that he was going to say that the secrets of the sky should not be leaked, so he couldn't help asking: "Look at Feng Shui?"
"No."
"Uh...won't it be alchemy?"
"Exactly."
He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou: "..."
Xue Yunzhou coughed, and said with a smile: "You are wrong, the prince doesn't want to live a long life, let alone become a fairy. He really doesn't need elixir. The Taoist priest is probably useless here."
The Taoist said "huh" with doubts on his face, and then he thought deeply, and said in a deep thought: "This is impossible, that's what the hexagram says." He pinched his fingers intently, and after a long while, he said firmly again, "It's the poor way. There is nothing wrong, even if the prince doesn't need it now, he will need it in the future."
Xue Yunzhou saw that he seemed real or fake, and felt a little uncertain, so he couldn't help looking at He Yuan, and asked his opinion with his eyes.
He Yuan looked around for a week, and found that the faces of these subordinates around him were all flushed, as if they were trying their best to suppress the excitement in their hearts, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "What do you think?"
One of them excitedly said: "The lower officials think that the prince might as well keep the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest said that the prince ordered the Lord to be extraordinary, so he must not be talking nonsense. Since the Taoist priest is good at alchemy, he will not pick a few people who test the medicine." What's the harm..." He said with a meaningful look at him.
When He Yuan received his gaze, he couldn't help but understand. Thinking about it, these people thought that a Taoist priest came to make alchemy for him, which meant that he was very likely to ascend to the throne in the future. Since ancient times, emperors have been greedy for power and wanted to live forever. As for the vassal king guarding one side, even if he wants to live forever, he may have to come secretly.
One person spoke up, and the others agreed one after another. They all began to persuade He Yuan, hoping to follow the destiny and keep the Taoist priests. The subtext is estimated to be: Even if you can't practice the elixir, it can be regarded as auspicious!
Although the words were cryptic, the meaning was already obvious. Presumably, the original owner of He Yuan's body had already intended to treason.
Seeing how active these people were, Xue Yunzhou couldn't help but deeply doubt whether they hoped that He Yuan would rebel, so as to gain a share of the meritorious service for themselves, or whether they had lived too hard in Qingzhou and eagerly hoped to live in the capital.
He Yuan had his own considerations, finally accepted their suggestion, and nodded to the Taoist priest: "The Taoist priest will follow me back to the mansion."
Seeing the gratified expression on the Taoist priest's wish, Xue Yunzhou couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Second brother, why are you keeping him here? Are you really planning to let him make alchemy? This kind of person doesn't do production, so staying here is a waste of rations."
He Yuan also lowered his voice: "The one who took the initiative to come to the door is either sincerely helping, or has other plans. Let him stay and observe to see what his real purpose is. And what he said seems to be true and false, and I don't know. Is it true that there is a supernatural power? Since there is such a fantasy thing, if it is not guaranteed, there is really a god. If he knows our details, he will hold us. It is not very good. Staying in Qingzhou is at least convenient to control ."
The two whispered and were in a close state, and the people next to them couldn't help but look sideways, and they were naturally very surprised.
With the addition of Taoist priests, the group became lively. Perhaps it was the Taoist priest's neither humble nor overbearing attitude that infected other people. The cautious atmosphere before gradually relaxed. Some people even curiously asked Taoist priests to show their faces and fortune-telling.
When they arrived at Prince Yan's mansion, He Liangcai, who had earlier arrived in Qingzhou with the army, led a group of servants to respond at the door. When he saw He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou, he immediately smiled and bowed to salute: "My lord and concubine have worked hard all the way. The prince and concubine have rearranged the palace according to their preferences, and the kitchen has also prepared tasty meals, should the prince and concubine wash and bathe first before eating?"
He Yuan was delayed on the road before, fearing that Xue Yunzhou would feel uncomfortable if he was hungry, so he said, "Let's eat directly."
He Liangcai hurried to Zhang Luo.
After eating, Xue Yunqing came over to check on Xue Yunzhou. Xue Yunzhou was nearly six months pregnant at this time. Although the wind was still under his feet when he walked, his stomach was already very big after all. Even if he turned his body sideways at night, he would find it difficult to breathe. , so He Yuan attached great importance to his physical condition, and didn't feel relieved until he heard Xue Yunqing say that everything was fine.
After all, he is a person who has traveled once. Xue Yunzhou has excellent adaptability, and he soon lived like a fish in water in Qingzhou. Because He Yuan didn't allow him to work hard, he once again lived a life like a pig raising a fetus. Day is busy understanding the current situation of Qingzhou, and firmly grasping the lifeblood of Qingzhou in his own hands.
The more you know, the more careful you will be about the future.
Qingzhou is indeed desolate, and many places are uninhabited, but the geographical location of this world is very different from the world before they crossed, so they know that many places are not useless, but undeveloped. Qingzhou will soon show a prosperous appearance.
"The land is vast and the population is sparse. In the final analysis, there are still not enough people and not enough productivity." He Yuan said while looking through the accounts of recent years, thinking that there was no hidden surprise in Lou Yongnian's eyes when he handed over various accounts to him, he couldn't help Frowning slightly, he turned to look at Xue Yunzhou who was lying on the bed studying geography.
Xue Yunzhou received his gaze, and quickly put down the book in his hand: "It doesn't matter if there are not enough people, just turn around from another place, anyway, I'm not afraid that there will be no place to live, just think about the problem of food."
He Yuan did not continue this topic, but instead asked, "What do you think of Lou Yongnian?"
Xue Yunzhou froze for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "He looks quite shrewd and capable. He is a qualified manager, but I don't know if he is a good subordinate for the boss."
When the two of them discuss things in private, they don't like to deliberately learn the rhetoric of the ancients, and occasionally they habitually bring out some modern terms.
He Yuan thought of Lou Yongnian's expression that leaked out from time to time, and felt slightly displeased, and said coldly, "I always feel that the way he looks at me is like looking at an idiot."
Xue Yunzhou made a "poof", stared at him for a moment, couldn't help but burst out laughing, after laughing for a while, he found that He Yuan's face was a little dark, so he hurriedly got out of bed and sat down next to him, rubbing against his face, comforting him. Said: "Anyway, your image has always been quite bad, look at it!"
He Yuan put his hand on his head and rubbed it, but his expression was still not much better.
Xue Yunzhou didn't expect him to have this side, and he was very surprised: "Don't you care about other people's opinions at all? What cruelty, lust, and a bunch of crimes, you don't even care about it."
He Yuan paused: "Except for IQ."
Xue Yunzhou was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched, he didn't expect to travel to this place, and he was lucky enough to see the always serious second brother showing such a childish side, he couldn't help but grinned and licked his lips in a very rare way. kiss several times.
He Yuan saw that he was looking at him with the eyes of a national treasure, his face was slightly stiff, and he explained: "People who underestimate my IQ, especially subordinates, can easily lose their duty and do outrageous things. This is to find me trouble."
Xue Yunzhou thought his explanation was reasonable, but he still couldn't help laughing, and nodded: "Oh."
After laughing, Xue Yunzhou leaned over to the table: "Did he fool you? Are there any problems with these accounts?"
He Yuan closed the account: "I haven't found it yet, don't read it, go to bed early." After speaking, he got up and prepared to help him.
Xue Yunzhou quickly grabbed his arm: "Wait, wait! I seem to have discovered something just now!"
He Yuan sat down again: "What?"
Xue Yunzhou pointed to the bookshelf: "A detailed map of Qingzhou."
He Yuan went to get the map and spread it out on the table: "What did you find?"
Xue Yunzhou stroked it with his finger, and asked, "Is Qingzhou in the place of Gansu in our world?"
He Yuan gestured on the map and said: "No, but the division of regions overlaps, Gansu is probably... like this..."
After all, the two are not majors in geography. Although they have studied maps in their previous lives, it is too difficult to draw them completely. They can only draw a rough outline, and many details cannot be refined, but such an outline is enough.
Looking at the map, Xue Yunzhou suddenly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to suppress the excitement in his heart: "I thought I was daydreaming before, but now I suddenly feel...it doesn't seem to be...Second brother, look! Is this Longnan City?"
He Yuan was a little confused, and nodded slightly: "It should be, what happened to Longnan?"
"Fuck, it's true!" Xue Yunzhou was so excited that he wanted to throw himself on the map, and then turned around and grabbed He Yuan's arm, "Longnan! Wen County! Yangshan Gold Mine! Gold Mine! Gold Mine, second brother! We are going to send !"
He Yuan's heart skipped a beat, his expression immediately became serious, and he looked at the map carefully: "Did you remember correctly?"
Xue Yunzhou shook his head again and again: "That's right! Absolutely remember correctly! I'm a top student, okay?"
At this moment, He Yuan couldn't care less about whether he was a top student or an asshole in his previous life, and fixed his eyes on the map: "Let's talk about it in detail."
"The terrain of Qingzhou is changeable, which is very consistent with Gansu. If the map is not wrong, then Longnan City in our world does belong to Qingzhou. You see, this is the intersection of two mountain ranges. I remember that the Yangshan Gold Mine is located in this area. "Xue Yunzhou searched and confirmed from memory while talking, so his mood was completely calmed down, and the excitement was gradually replaced by caution.
After all, He Yuan has already graduated and has been in business for many years, and his business has nothing to do with mining, so he has no impression of this gold mine at all, and Xue Yunzhou has always given him an unreliable impression, so he Still a little skeptical, and his attitude is more cautious.
"Even if you remember correctly, don't have too much hope. After all, mineral resources are gradually formed over a long period of time due to the influence of many factors. It is useless to just look at the map, it depends on which time period you are on the earth now. If the time is wrong, then whether the minerals have formed, whether the characteristics are the same, whether the mineral source is deep or shallow, these are all questions."
Xue Yunzhou was extinguished by his enthusiasm, and looked at him pitifully: "Can you stop being so calm?"
He Yuan quickly comforted: "It's worth a try. If there is a gold mine, you will be the savior of the people of Qingzhou!"
Xue Yunzhou suddenly felt flustered, and said with a smile: "Look, you can still make contributions with a big belly. The awesome life is so helpless."
He Yuan looked at him silently for a while, and couldn't help but said: "Do you know how to detect, mine, and smelt? Even gold mines should be divided into different types, and different mines take different measures. If you need to use With modern technology, we're afraid there's nothing we can do about it."
Xue Yunzhou's smile froze, and he slowly turned his head to look at him, wanting to say something outrageous: Second brother, can you shut up?I suddenly don't want to hear you talk.
Knowing that he had hit him again, He Yuan quickly put away the map: "Okay, it's getting late, go to rest, I will arrange this matter early tomorrow morning, if there is no expert in Qingzhou, I will look for it elsewhere."
Only then did Xue Yunzhou feel more at ease, and before going to sleep, he repeatedly told him: "It must be done quietly!"
He Yuan turned his head away and hugged him from behind: "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Xue Yunzhou turned around again, and comforted himself: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't keep it secret. This is our territory, and others dare not come and snatch it."
He Yuan leaned over and kissed his lips, blocking his words.
In the next period of time, He Yuan became even busier. After checking the accounts, he was relieved of Lou Yongnian, and then asked about the resettlement of those refugees. Fortunately, there are indeed many capable people in Yanwang Mansion, as long as he gives an order Almost all of them can give satisfactory results.
Although those refugees are not very adaptable to the dry climate in Qingzhou, they still have food and clothing after all, and they have successfully exchanged Qingzhou coupons for cash. The problem is, these are just a little time-consuming, not difficult.
A month passed in a flash. On the one hand, He Yuan paid attention to the progress of road construction, on the other hand, he started to work on the gold mine, and at the same time, he also considered the issue of land reclamation. Every day was a continuous cycle, and Xue Yunzhou had to work hard to get a rest on time.
Xue Yunzhou scratched his heart and lungs seeing him working so hard.
He Yuan was busy, and so was the Taoist priest Mao Sui recommended himself.
Taoist priests claim to be dust-free, and the dust-free efficiency is extremely high. From time to time, elixirs will be offered as tribute. These things are relatively light, so Xue Yunzhou takes over.
Naturally, it was impossible for Xue Yunzhou to find someone to test the medicine. They were not interested in the elixir anyway, so every time he directly asked Yu Qing to throw away the so-called elixir.
Fortunately, Yu Qing was loyal and honest, and honestly confessed that the elixir was buried under a pine tree far away outside the palace, and even dug out one by one to show him.
Xue Yunzhou felt relieved.
He still hasn't discovered the real purpose of Wuchen Lai's visit to Yan Wang's Mansion. Seeing him doing alchemy every day, he can't help but feel a little puzzled. If he really has a plan, it's too calm to be able to show his flaws for such a long time. up.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to pay tribute to the elixir again, Xue Yunzhou said: "It's better for the Taoist priest to take it easy. I have thrown away your elixir, and the prince won't eat it."
Wuchen twisted his beard and smiled: "The poor Taoist knows that the prince doesn't want to eat it, but the prince is destined to eat it. If the prince wants to eat it and there is no elixir, isn't it the fault of the poor Taoist? The poor Taoist can't stop."
Xue Yunzhou said smoothly: "Well, the medicine can't be stopped."
Wuchen looked at him suspiciously.
Xue Yunzhou was more puzzled than him, thinking that this person really intends to concentrate on alchemy in the palace, right?Or was he hiding some kind of poison there?
Although he checked it carefully at the beginning, Xue Yunzhou was still a little worried, so he got up and said, "I'll follow you to the alchemy room to have a look."
Wuchen responded yes with his usual attitude of neither humble nor overbearing.
Xue Yunzhou has a special physique, and he didn't dare to be careless. He waited for the person arranged to inspect the alchemy room carefully before he wandered in slowly.
The alchemy furnace inside had been extinguished, and the temperature returned to normal. Xue Yunzhou looked around curiously after entering, and did not touch it with his hands. He only pointed and asked things from a distance. He explained it again, and for the first time even showed enthusiasm in his calm eyes.
Xue Yunzhou suddenly believed that he was really making alchemy.
"what is this?"
Wuchen looked at the jar of liquid he was pointing at, and replied, "This is green vitriol oil." Then he began to explain the refining and function of green vitriol oil.
Xue Yunzhou was distracted while listening, and suddenly stopped when he turned around, and then turned back: "What do you think this is?"
Wuchen repeated patiently: "Green vitriol oil."
Xue Yunzhou's eyes widened suddenly, and he said to himself, "Green vitriol...isn't it dilute sulfuric acid?"
Wuchen didn't hear what he said clearly, and his face showed doubts.
Xue Yunzhou grinned, pointed at the jar and said, "Don't use this, keep it for me!"
Wuchen laughed: "Princess, please rest assured, this green vitriol oil can be refined by the poor, even if it is used up, it doesn't matter."
Xue Yunzhou was overjoyed, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, you are very good!" After speaking, he turned and went out immediately.
Wuchen looked at his back as he left in a hurry, with a puzzled expression on his face, he shook his head and sighed: "Such a princess is really rare."
Yu Qing walked a little slower, just when he heard his chanting, he couldn't help but glanced at him, thinking: Taoist stinky, you missed a word "good"!
But when encountering such a non-serious collision, He Yuan usually would not think of punishing others. Song Quan was used to this, and left as usual when he got the order, but those on the side thought that Taoist priests would be fine. His subordinate Qi Qi was taken aback.
He Yuan is not generous, but from the perspective of modern people, there is no need to care about such small facts as blocking the way. For him, there are ways to establish prestige. If someone really violated his bottom line, he still wouldn't let it go easily.
A group of people continued to follow He Yuan with different thoughts, and after walking for a short time, they saw a middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist standing proudly on the road ahead, which was very eye-catching on the empty street.

He Yuan frowned.
Xue Yunzhou couldn't help laughing: "Tell him, we don't want to become immortals, we don't take elixir, and we don't need Taoist leaders."
A bit of surprise appeared on Song Quan's usually calm face, and he said: "He has calculated what the princess said, and said that the prince is an extraordinary person, and he is destined to be reused by the prince, and the prince will definitely meet him."
The corners of Xue Yunzhou's eyes twitched when he heard it, and he quickly leaned into He Yuan's ear and asked, "This is not a fortune-teller, is it? Could it be that he has calculated that we are not natives here, and is using this to blackmail us?"

"No, Pindao can calculate that he must live a long life. As for how long he will live, that is a secret."
Xue Yunzhou looked at him with an expression of looking at a magic stick, and said speechlessly: "My lord can kill you now, how can you live so long?"
The Taoist still had a smile on his face, shook his head again, and said firmly, "My lord won't."
Xue Yunzhou saw that he was always there, so he couldn't help becoming interested, he waved his hands and said, "Come on, come on, let's see what my fate is like?"

The two whispered and were in a close state, and the people next to them couldn't help but look sideways, and they were naturally very surprised.
With the addition of Taoist priests, the group became lively. Perhaps it was the Taoist priest's neither humble nor overbearing attitude that infected other people. The cautious atmosphere before gradually relaxed. Some people even curiously asked Taoist priests to show their faces and fortune-telling.
When they arrived at Prince Yan's mansion, He Liangcai, who had earlier arrived in Qingzhou with the army, led a group of servants to respond at the door. When he saw He Yuan and Xue Yunzhou, he immediately smiled and bowed to salute: "My lord and concubine have worked hard all the way. The prince and concubine have rearranged the palace according to their preferences, and the kitchen has also prepared tasty meals, should the prince and concubine wash and bathe first before eating?"
He Yuan was delayed on the road before, fearing that Xue Yunzhou would feel uncomfortable if he was hungry, so he said, "Let's eat directly."
He Liangcai hurried to Zhang Luo.
After eating, Xue Yunqing came over to check on Xue Yunzhou. Xue Yunzhou was nearly six months pregnant at this time. Although the wind was still under his feet when he walked, his stomach was already very big after all. Even if he turned his body sideways at night, he would find it difficult to breathe. , so He Yuan attached great importance to his physical condition, and didn't feel relieved until he heard Xue Yunqing say that everything was fine.
After all, he is a person who has traveled once. Xue Yunzhou has excellent adaptability, and he soon lived like a fish in water in Qingzhou. Because He Yuan didn't allow him to work hard, he once again lived a life like a pig raising a fetus. Day is busy understanding the current situation of Qingzhou, and firmly grasping the lifeblood of Qingzhou in his own hands.
The more you know, the more careful you will be about the future.
Qingzhou is indeed desolate, and many places are uninhabited, but the geographical location of this world is very different from the world before they crossed, so they know that many places are not useless, but undeveloped. Qingzhou will soon show a prosperous appearance.
"The land is vast and the population is sparse. In the final analysis, there are still not enough people and not enough productivity." He Yuan said while looking through the accounts of recent years, thinking that there was no hidden surprise in Lou Yongnian's eyes when he handed over various accounts to him, he couldn't help Frowning slightly, he turned to look at Xue Yunzhou who was lying on the bed studying geography.
Xue Yunzhou received his gaze, and quickly put down the book in his hand: "It doesn't matter if there are not enough people, just turn around from another place, anyway, I'm not afraid that there will be no place to live, just think about the problem of food."
He Yuan did not continue this topic, but instead asked, "What do you think of Lou Yongnian?"
Xue Yunzhou froze for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "He looks quite shrewd and capable. He is a qualified manager, but I don't know if he is a good subordinate for the boss."
When the two of them discuss things in private, they don't like to deliberately learn the rhetoric of the ancients, and occasionally they habitually bring out some modern terms.
He Yuan thought of Lou Yongnian's expression that leaked out from time to time, and felt slightly displeased, and said coldly, "I always feel that the way he looks at me is like looking at an idiot."
Xue Yunzhou made a "poof", stared at him for a moment, couldn't help but burst out laughing, after laughing for a while, he found that He Yuan's face was a little dark, so he hurriedly got out of bed and sat down next to him, rubbing against his face, comforting him. Said: "Anyway, your image has always been quite bad, look at it!"
He Yuan put his hand on his head and rubbed it, but his expression was still not much better.
Xue Yunzhou didn't expect him to have this side, and he was very surprised: "Don't you care about other people's opinions at all? What cruelty, lust, and a bunch of crimes, you don't even care about it."
He Yuan paused: "Except for IQ."
Xue Yunzhou was stunned, the corners of his mouth twitched, he didn't expect to travel to this place, and he was lucky enough to see the always serious second brother showing such a childish side, he couldn't help but grinned and licked his lips in a very rare way. kiss several times.
He Yuan saw that he was looking at him with the eyes of a national treasure, his face was slightly stiff, and he explained: "People who underestimate my IQ, especially subordinates, can easily lose their duty and do outrageous things. This is to find me trouble."
Xue Yunzhou thought his explanation was reasonable, but he still couldn't help laughing, and nodded: "Oh."
After laughing, Xue Yunzhou leaned over to the table: "Did he fool you? Are there any problems with these accounts?"
He Yuan closed the account: "I haven't found it yet, don't read it, go to bed early." After speaking, he got up and prepared to help him.
Xue Yunzhou quickly grabbed his arm: "Wait, wait! I seem to have discovered something just now!"
He Yuan sat down again: "What?"
Xue Yunzhou pointed to the bookshelf: "A detailed map of Qingzhou."
He Yuan went to get the map and spread it out on the table: "What did you find?"
Xue Yunzhou stroked it with his finger, and asked, "Is Qingzhou in the place of Gansu in our world?"
He Yuan gestured on the map and said: "No, but the division of regions overlaps, Gansu is probably... like this..."
After all, the two are not majors in geography. Although they have studied maps in their previous lives, it is too difficult to draw them completely. They can only draw a rough outline, and many details cannot be refined, but such an outline is enough.
Looking at the map, Xue Yunzhou suddenly clenched his fists and gritted his teeth to suppress the excitement in his heart: "I thought I was daydreaming before, but now I suddenly feel...it doesn't seem to be...Second brother, look! Is this Longnan City?"
He Yuan was a little confused, and nodded slightly: "It should be, what happened to Longnan?"
"Fuck, it's true!" Xue Yunzhou was so excited that he wanted to throw himself on the map, and then turned around and grabbed He Yuan's arm, "Longnan! Wen County! Yangshan Gold Mine! Gold Mine! Gold Mine, second brother! We are going to send !"
He Yuan's heart skipped a beat, his expression immediately became serious, and he looked at the map carefully: "Did you remember correctly?"
Xue Yunzhou shook his head again and again: "That's right! Absolutely remember correctly! I'm a top student, okay?"
At this moment, He Yuan couldn't care less about whether he was a top student or an asshole in his previous life, and fixed his eyes on the map: "Let's talk about it in detail."
"The terrain of Qingzhou is changeable, which is very consistent with Gansu. If the map is not wrong, then Longnan City in our world does belong to Qingzhou. You see, this is the intersection of two mountain ranges. I remember that the Yangshan Gold Mine is located in this area. "Xue Yunzhou searched and confirmed from memory while talking, so his mood was completely calmed down, and the excitement was gradually replaced by caution.
After all, He Yuan has already graduated and has been in business for many years, and his business has nothing to do with mining, so he has no impression of this gold mine at all, and Xue Yunzhou has always given him an unreliable impression, so he Still a little skeptical, and his attitude is more cautious.
"Even if you remember correctly, don't have too much hope. After all, mineral resources are gradually formed over a long period of time due to the influence of many factors. It is useless to just look at the map, it depends on which time period you are on the earth now. If the time is wrong, then whether the minerals have formed, whether the characteristics are the same, whether the mineral source is deep or shallow, these are all questions."
Xue Yunzhou was extinguished by his enthusiasm, and looked at him pitifully: "Can you stop being so calm?"
He Yuan quickly comforted: "It's worth a try. If there is a gold mine, you will be the savior of the people of Qingzhou!"
Xue Yunzhou suddenly felt flustered, and said with a smile: "Look, you can still make contributions with a big belly. The awesome life is so helpless."
He Yuan looked at him silently for a while, and couldn't help but said: "Do you know how to detect, mine, and smelt? Even gold mines should be divided into different types, and different mines take different measures. If you need to use With modern technology, we're afraid there's nothing we can do about it."
Xue Yunzhou's smile froze, and he slowly turned his head to look at him, wanting to say something outrageous: Second brother, can you shut up?I suddenly don't want to hear you talk.
Knowing that he had hit him again, He Yuan quickly put away the map: "Okay, it's getting late, go to rest, I will arrange this matter early tomorrow morning, if there is no expert in Qingzhou, I will look for it elsewhere."
Only then did Xue Yunzhou feel more at ease, and before going to sleep, he repeatedly told him: "It must be done quietly!"
He Yuan turned his head away and hugged him from behind: "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Xue Yunzhou turned around again, and comforted himself: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't keep it secret. This is our territory, and others dare not come and snatch it."
He Yuan leaned over and kissed his lips, blocking his words.
In the next period of time, He Yuan became even busier. After checking the accounts, he was relieved of Lou Yongnian, and then asked about the resettlement of those refugees. Fortunately, there are indeed many capable people in Yanwang Mansion, as long as he gives an order Almost all of them can give satisfactory results.
Although those refugees are not very adaptable to the dry climate in Qingzhou, they still have food and clothing after all, and they have successfully exchanged Qingzhou coupons for cash. The problem is, these are just a little time-consuming, not difficult.
A month passed in a flash. On the one hand, He Yuan paid attention to the progress of road construction, on the other hand, he started to work on the gold mine, and at the same time, he also considered the issue of land reclamation. Every day was a continuous cycle, and Xue Yunzhou had to work hard to get a rest on time.
Xue Yunzhou scratched his heart and lungs seeing him working so hard.
He Yuan was busy, and so was the Taoist priest Mao Sui recommended himself.
Taoist priests claim to be dust-free, and the dust-free efficiency is extremely high. From time to time, elixirs will be offered as tribute. These things are relatively light, so Xue Yunzhou takes over.
Naturally, it was impossible for Xue Yunzhou to find someone to test the medicine. They were not interested in the elixir anyway, so every time he directly asked Yu Qing to throw away the so-called elixir.
Fortunately, Yu Qing was loyal and honest, and honestly confessed that the elixir was buried under a pine tree far away outside the palace, and even dug out one by one to show him.
Xue Yunzhou felt relieved.
He still hasn't discovered the real purpose of Wuchen Lai's visit to Yan Wang's Mansion. Seeing him doing alchemy every day, he can't help but feel a little puzzled. If he really has a plan, it's too calm to be able to show his flaws for such a long time. up.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to pay tribute to the elixir again, Xue Yunzhou said: "It's better for the Taoist priest to take it easy. I have thrown away your elixir, and the prince won't eat it."
Wuchen twisted his beard and smiled: "The poor Taoist knows that the prince doesn't want to eat it, but the prince is destined to eat it. If the prince wants to eat it and there is no elixir, isn't it the fault of the poor Taoist? The poor Taoist can't stop."
Xue Yunzhou said smoothly: "Well, the medicine can't be stopped."
Wuchen looked at him suspiciously.
Xue Yunzhou was more puzzled than him, thinking that this person really intends to concentrate on alchemy in the palace, right?Or was he hiding some kind of poison there?
Although he checked it carefully at the beginning, Xue Yunzhou was still a little worried, so he got up and said, "I'll follow you to the alchemy room to have a look."
Wuchen responded yes with his usual attitude of neither humble nor overbearing.
Xue Yunzhou has a special physique, and he didn't dare to be careless. He waited for the person arranged to inspect the alchemy room carefully before he wandered in slowly.
The alchemy furnace inside had been extinguished, and the temperature returned to normal. Xue Yunzhou looked around curiously after entering, and did not touch it with his hands. He only pointed and asked things from a distance. He explained it again, and for the first time even showed enthusiasm in his calm eyes.
Xue Yunzhou suddenly believed that he was really making alchemy.
"what is this?"
Wuchen looked at the jar of liquid he was pointing at, and replied, "This is green vitriol oil." Then he began to explain the refining and function of green vitriol oil.
Xue Yunzhou was distracted while listening, and suddenly stopped when he turned around, and then turned back: "What do you think this is?"
Wuchen repeated patiently: "Green vitriol oil."
Xue Yunzhou's eyes widened suddenly, and he said to himself, "Green vitriol...isn't it dilute sulfuric acid?"
Wuchen didn't hear what he said clearly, and his face showed doubts.
Xue Yunzhou grinned, pointed at the jar and said, "Don't use this, keep it for me!"
Wuchen laughed: "Princess, please rest assured, this green vitriol oil can be refined by the poor, even if it is used up, it doesn't matter."
Xue Yunzhou was overjoyed, and patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, you are very good!" After speaking, he turned and went out immediately.
Wuchen looked at his back as he left in a hurry, with a puzzled expression on his face, he shook his head and sighed: "Such a princess is really rare."
Yu Qing walked a little slower, just when he heard his chanting, he couldn't help but glanced at him, thinking: Taoist stinky, you missed a word "good"!
