Chongxi [rebirth]

Rested in Zhouju Town for one night, and early the next morning, Ye Yunting and Li Fengqi took people to the mine.

This mine was originally a stone mine, and it didn't make much money, and the mining was uneven.After discovering the gold, the Yin family quickly ordered people to circle it up, and sent over all the manpower and equipment for mining and smelting. They were very complete, but it was Li Fengqi who took over halfway because of the advantage.

Most of the miners in the mine were sent to work by force, but now Ye Yunting calmed them down temporarily and did not let them go to work again.Gold mining also temporarily stopped.Even the craftsmen in charge of smelting had nothing to do, they could only anxiously wait for Li Fengqi and his party to come to inspect the workshop, and they didn't dare to show their atmosphere.After all, they are different from the captured miners, they all worked for the Yin family in the past.

The two walked in front of those craftsmen, and Li Fengqi fiddled with the placed tools: "How much gold can this mine produce every day?"

The leading craftsman lowered his head and said tremblingly: "The smelting process is complicated. The gold needs to be separated from the ore, and it needs to be re-melted and refined. We are also short of manpower, so we only have a hundred taels a day..."

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, afraid that Li Fengqi would be less disgusted: "If, if we can send more people, we can have 200 taels a day."

"..." Li Fengqi silently turned his head and glanced at Ye Yunting. The two were already shoulder to shoulder. He was really happy in his heart, but he didn't want to lose his majesty in front of others, so he secretly hooked his fingers under the cover of his sleeve Hooked Ye Yunting's hand.

He felt that Si Tiantai was playing the right role, and Ye Yunting was really his hit man.

One hundred taels of gold a day may not seem like a lot for the huge military expenditure, but it accumulates over time, but it is not a small amount.The depth and size of this gold mine is not yet known, but even if it is small, it can be mined for several years, and if it is large, it can be mined for decades, and it will be used by future generations.

If Ye Yunting hadn't been bold and careful, this gold mine might have enriched the Yin family.

But now, all the gold belongs to Northern Xinjiang.

Ye Yunting avoided his eyes, looked at these trembling craftsmen, thought for a while, and asked softly: "Do you all have family members?"

Seeing his friendly expression, the leading craftsman said cautiously: "Some, some are all in Jizhou City."

The news of this gold mine must not be leaked, so when the Yin family sent them to the mine, they detained their families in Jizhou City.

"I will find a way to bring your family members over for you, so that your families can be reunited." Ye Yunting stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the craftsmen with a very peaceful gaze, but no one dared to ignore him: "Now the gold mine belongs to Beijiang, Many matters need to be handled by people, and I hope you can do your best."

What he meant was to keep these craftsmen and let them have no worries.

Those craftsmen were still worrying about their lives or not being able to reunite with their families, but they didn't expect him to be so generous. They knelt down and kowtowed to thank him one after another.

"The mine will be reorganized in the next few days, so you should rest for a few days first. If there is a shortage of manpower and equipment, make a list and hand it over. I will order people to prepare as much as possible." Ye Yunting said.

These craftsmen responded repeatedly, probably seeing his good temper, so they boldly took the two of them to visit, explaining the situation in the mine in detail along the way.

Ye Yunting had read about the mining and smelting of gold, silver and iron ore in books, but this was the first time he had real contact with it, so he listened to the craftsman's explanation very seriously, and would ask a few questions from time to time.On the other hand, Li Fengqi, who seemed to be enjoying the scenery, walked beside him, looking a little out of place.

He was not interested in how the gold mines were mined and smelted, he just focused on Ye Yunting.Feeling Xiaobie these days, Ye Yunting has also undergone many silent changes.

In the past when he was in Shangjing Palace, it was rare to see him so energetic.

When he listened attentively to the craftsman's explanation from the side, the delicate side of his face was shrouded in fragments of light, and the earnest concentration between his eyebrows and eyes was very moving.

Li Fengqi must have been watching, feeling a little thirsty.

So the soldiers who followed saw the concubine chatting with the craftsmen, ordering them one by one, while his own prince, like an idler, was standing beside him.

Generals:  …

They looked at each other in blank dismay, their eyebrows were full of lawsuits, and they thought that it would be different to have this man and be married.

From being the master of the house to being the master of the house.

And the concubine is also very powerful, she deserves to be the one who can snatch things from the hands of the Yin family!

After chatting with the craftsman, Li Fengqi said: "It's about time, let's go have lunch first."

Ye Yunting frowned at him, and reminded: "The workers in the mine haven't been properly arranged yet."

Li Fengqi: "..."

He sighed: "Okay, let's go and have a look first."

So the two went to see the temporarily resettled miners.The miners knew that King Yong'an was coming, and they were all in high spirits, eager to use all their housekeeping skills.

Li Fengqi looked at the spirits of these people, but straightened his expression, nodded and said: "Practice a little more, it should be good."

Now these people are all willing to join the army. After Li Fengqi took someone to see them, he asked them to register their names one by one. When they returned to Weizhou, they took them to the army to start training.

As for those who joined the army unintentionally, Ye Yunting gave them a second choice - to stay and work in the mine.

Gold mining requires a lot of manpower, but he is not going to kill chickens and eggs like the Yin family. Instead, he has raised the salaries of the miners, and even raised the idea of ​​the refugees in the surrounding area.Although mining is tiring, it is actually a good job for homeless refugees who can't even eat enough.Allowing these refugees to have something to do can also alleviate the impact of the snowstorm on the people to a certain extent.Otherwise, if this goes on like this, sooner or later, these refugees who cannot survive will be in trouble.

However, none of these plans can be implemented in a short while, and need to be continuously refined and improved.

When he went to bed at night, he was still sitting at the table, holding a thin brush, and writing under the lamp.The ideas that came up during the day were recorded one by one by him, and they were continuously deduced and perfected, and there was already a small half of the book.

Li Fengqi walked behind him wearing a robe, and Ye Yunting was shrouded in his shadow. The shadow blocked his sight, and he finally raised his head from deep thought, with a dazed look in his eyes: "What?"

"My eldest son, it's time to check the time outside." Li Fengqi leaned over and pointed to the dark sky outside dissatisfied.

Ye Yunting said "ah", turned his head and wanted to continue writing, and said in his mouth: "Wait for me to finish writing the rest first."

Li Fengqi: "..."

He took the brush out of his hand, put it on the pen holder, and muttered dissatisfiedly: "I've never seen you care so much about me."

The left and right also remembered the same, seeing his unhappy face, Ye Yunting did not argue with him, stood up obediently and went behind the screen to change clothes, but when he heard his complaint, he laughed and said: "How can this be compared?"

"Why can't it be compared?" Li Fengqi walked around the screen and looked at him without hesitation.

Ye Yunting had just put on his middle coat, and before he could tie it on, his skirt was spread out, his white and thin chest was half exposed, and under the warm yellow candlelight, it shone like suet and jade.

Li Fengqi's eyes were slightly hot.Stepping forward, holding his wrist with one hand, forcing him to the screen, his tone was slightly hoarse: "Young Master has dealt with others all day, shouldn't it be time to deal with me too?"

Ye Yunting met his undisguised gaze, did not withdraw his hand, but smiled at him, and said softly: "It's not convenient here..."

After speaking, she held him backhand and pulled him to the side of the couch.

……

Ye Yunting looked calm, but when confronted with real swords and guns, he still showed timidity.He didn't understand the facts, and Li Fengqi didn't know where he learned the tricks. He was tossed and discarded after a few strokes, and could only be at the mercy of others.

Although due to incomplete preparation, he couldn't make it to the last step, but Li Fengqi was quite satisfied,

He hugged him, put his chin on his neck, and let him follow his back.

"One more day of rest, and the day after tomorrow we will leave for Weizhou. There are too many people in the governor's mansion, and it is not comfortable to live in. I asked someone to find another house. When you go, I will discuss the layout with my mother."

Ye Yunting gave an "um" with a strong nasal voice.

After a while, he said again: "The war in northern Xinjiang——"

As a result, Li Fengqi pinched his mouth before he finished speaking, and this person was very confident: "We'll talk about this tomorrow."

At a time like this, shouldn't they be talking about love and talking about wars?

Ye Yunting bent his eyebrows, took advantage of the situation and bit his finger lightly and hard, yawned and said: "Then there is nothing to say, go to sleep."

Li Fengqi: "..."

Why is his princess so incomprehensible?

But Ye Yunting was really tired in the daytime, after tossing about a while ago, seeing the tiredness in his eyes, Li Fengqi silently adjusted his posture to make him lie more comfortably, and said in a low voice, "Go to sleep."

The two slept together and had a good night's sleep.

When I woke up the next morning, I was all in high spirits.Li Fengqi wanted to help each other again in the early morning, but Ye Yunting rejected him indifferently. After washing and changing clothes, he went to work on the gold mine again.

"..." King Yong'an, who failed to court, was depressed for a while, and could only go out to practice soldiers to vent his anger.

……

It took a day to straighten out the affairs in the town, and the next day, the group set off for Weizhou.

The [-] Xuanjia troops brought by Li Fengqi were stationed in Zhouju Town, and there were only a dozen or so of them on the way back.

The farther you go north, the vaster the sky and the earth, and even the vastness of the snow is a bit more solemn.The wolf king and the falcon seemed to like this environment very much. The two falcons circled in the air and chirped together.The wolf king easily jumped onto a boulder, raised his head and roared in response.

Ye Wang rode a horse and followed Ye Yunting, looked around and sighed: "This is the northern border."

"A hundred thousand snow-capped mountains meet the sky, and thousands of miles of clouds hang down."

Ye Yunting couldn't help but admire: "Northern Xinjiang is wider than I imagined."

Li Fengqice stepped forward immediately, pointing to a black line stretching far away, and said: "That is the defense line of northern Xinjiang. The extreme northern city wall, which took three years to complete, is more than two feet high. It starts from the extreme north of Weizhou and ends in the west. Yuzhou stretches for more than [-] li in the extreme south. Without this extreme northern city wall, Weizhou would not be so peaceful today."

Ye Yunting looked up, his eyes were full of amazement.

"When we arrive in Weizhou, I'll take you up the city wall to see." Li Fengqi kept pace with him: "I said, you will never be disappointed."

When Ye Yunting said that he wanted to travel all over the thirteen prefectures of Beizhao, he once said that Weizhou would never disappoint him.

At that time, Ye Yunting hadn't had the chance to leave Shangjing, and he hadn't been honest yet.

But now, they are connected with each other, and they can finally walk across the vast land of northern border side by side without any gap between them.
