Farming and teaching across different worlds

The value of these bean dregs cakes is much higher than that of ordinary forage.

If the Third Prince wants to achieve great things, he must have military strength. Now he has two thousand soldiers under him, and the expenses are already very high. If he conducts more privately, it will be a bit stretched. One of the soldiers needs food and grass, and the other needs weapons. Ji Xiuran this time The two ideas given solved more than half of the problem for him.

This other news about coal is even more serious. The imperial court has always been strict with the management of ironware. It is because the iron mines of the imperial court are limited and must be used for cutting edge, so it is so strictly controlled, and private circulation of weapons is strictly prohibited. Even such frontier sergeants cannot guarantee that everyone can have the latest and best weapons.

This is because of the backwardness of smelting technology. With this coal now, this dilemma can be temporarily alleviated, and if the hardness of the iron forged in this way is increased, then their weapons will be sharper, and they will be more powerful when fighting against the enemy. There are advantages.This is rare good news for their sergeants.

But this coal is not everywhere, and it is even more difficult to find mine sites. Many of them are buried deep in the ground, and it is difficult to find them from the surface, especially with the current technology. The biggest difficulty that the Third Prince encountered.

Even Ji Xiuran was lucky to meet him by chance, and the place Ji Xiuran found was unexploitable, the coal seam was completely submerged by underground rivers, even modern coal mines would have to abandon the mine if they encountered this phenomenon. Water seepage is one of the three major hazards in coal mines.And they have no way to mine at all, and it costs their lives and money. Fortunately, many loose coal seams in the ground have been washed out by groundwater. Ji Xiuran can still find someone to pick them up by the river, but the road from Song County to Jingli Far away, far away can't quench the near thirst, Ji Xiuran can only disclose this news to them, and can't help others.

But Ji Xiuran finally gave a suggestion, saying that there are a few students in Qingshan Academy who are good at geological assessment, and they can let these people help them.In fact, through geological inspection, it is still possible to roughly find out a direction. If they are lucky enough to find the surface mine, then their problem will be solved.

The Third Prince saw Ji Xiuran's proposal, tapped his fingers on the table, thought carefully, and finally called Xuan Er, the word Xuan Er started with the third prince's close bodyguards, and this Xuan Er was sent to For the people of Qingshan Village, the third prince still intends to ask Xuan Er to go there this time, "Xuan Er, go to Qingshan Village, bring him here, and copy back a copy of the relevant books."

People need to borrow, and books need to be shared, so that they can cultivate talents by themselves, which is the ultimate goal of the third prince.

After the third prince arranged things, he threw a bronze medal to Gongsun Zizhan who was standing beside him, and said, "This is for Ji Xiuran."

Gongsun Zizhan took it over and took a look. It was a copper token issued by Huitong Bank. After receiving it, he saluted and exited.

The students of Qingshan Academy are still very capable. In just half a year, they found a large coal area in Youzhou in the west. After the third prince got the news, he asked the emperor to come to that place as a fiefdom. There are many deserts in the west. Especially the place of Youzhou is not a rich place. When the princes distributed the fiefs, they tried their best to avoid that place, but they didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to request it to be a fief. Many people also sneered at the third prince's intention for this step, and planned to wait to see his jokes, but no one came out to object for a while.

Although the princes have already been conferred kings, the emperor has not set a fief in the name of being reluctant to let the princes leave the capital, but this time the third prince took the initiative to ask for the fief, which caught the emperor by surprise.Immediately, Prince Zhaosan went to the imperial study to answer.

The third prince knew that his father would act when he heard the news, so he tidied himself up and went to the imperial study.At the door, I met a few ministers who had just finished discussing the matter. When they saw the third prince, they saluted one after another. They were very respectful on the surface, but they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts. Go to the study.

The few people who remained raised their heads and looked at each other, and some people showed contempt in their eyes. Father Gongsun who was hiding in the crowd saw a few people with contempt on their faces, and sneered in his heart. He didn't know how he died at that time. After thinking about it, he glanced at Cheng Enhou Chengli in front of him, and felt contemptuous in his heart. Aren't these people all on Cheng Enhou's side.The more this kind of person jumped up and down, the faster he died. After thinking about it, he glanced at the side and said that the old god was there, and it was Ming Shoufu. This kind of calm old fox was the real ruthless character.

This is the third prince who has already walked into the imperial study and saluted the emperor who was sitting next to the desk. The emperor threw the memorial in his hand on the table and said to the third prince: "Old man, get up, you know why I am here today!" Did you come here?"

The third prince got up, and said with an unchanged expression: "I don't know, so please let me know."

The emperor was choked by his words, stretched out his hand and nodded at him, and said helplessly: "I know that you understand everything in your heart. I know what you are capable of. I just don't talk about it. Now you are in front of me. Have you learned to play dumb?"

The third prince was still indifferent and said to the emperor, "I dare not"

"Hmph, don't you dare? I don't think there is anything you dare to do." Then he threw the booklet he handed over to his feet, and continued: "Do you see what is written in your booklet? You are still playing stupid here. Then there are gold mines and silver mines in Youzhou, let you rush to me here to ask for them."

The third prince bent down to pick up the memorial on the ground, and said with some helplessness in his tone: "Father, please calm down, don't be so angry. My son has his own considerations for wanting Youzhou. Although there are no gold mines and silver mines there, they are as good as they are." Anything similar to gold mines and silver mines, my son must get it."

Hearing what he said, the emperor sighed, and said, "I won't ask any more. If you insist on doing this, I... will help you, but you don't blame me." He seemed to have aged a lot in an instant, with a rare fragility showing on his face, and asked faintly: "Xuan'er, can you still not forgive me?"

When the third prince heard the emperor's question, his eyes changed for a moment, and he replied in a tense voice: "My son is not qualified." If you want to be forgiven, then go to the person you have betrayed, and do it yourself as a son. If you can't forgive, you don't have the qualifications to forgive.After speaking, he turned and left.

The remaining sad emperor was eroded by regret, but could not be redeemed.

……

Under the application of the third prince, all the princes who have been crowned kings now have fiefdoms, but they have not left the capital. The current emperor has not established a prince, and all the princes have their own ideas. Of course, they all want to stay in the capital. The Holy One had no intention of letting everyone leave at this time, and the matter settled down like this, but the atmosphere in the capital became tense.

Chapter 88

Ji Xiuran's business is in full swing, making Zhang Mian's jealous eyes turn red. The clear soybean oil squeezed out of the oil mill can make a lot of money if he sells it casually. On the other hand, since Ji Xiuran came here, After that, nothing went well, and now his hands and feet were bound, and he dared not do anything. This made Zhang Mian, who was used to being an emperor, feel extremely aggrieved.

It just happened to be around the same time, and news came from above that this operation was about to start, and this time Zhang Mian felt a little better. Ji Xiuran.

Since Shi Jingchen was stationed in Song County, he sent out a team of people to keep an eye on Zhang Mian. He has never found anything wrong, but recently he found that he was in frequent contact with the outside world. Zhou also went to the border town, and it looked like he was about to make a big move. After Shi Jingchen got the news, people kept an eye on him.

Soon they made a rough idea of ​​the matter, and when they got the result, Ji Xiuran couldn't believe it. Zhang Mian actually cooperated with Mozhou Tongjuan and Dingbei Army military officer to do business with the Northern Qiang people in private and bought them for them. What turned out to be grain and weapons, isn't this the most blatant collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country? When Ji Xiuran saw the investigation results, he was laughed at by Zhang Mian's shamelessness and death.

It's just that this matter is very involved, and Ji Xiuran, a little seventh-rank county magistrate, can't manage it, so he can only hand over the relevant evidence to a reliable person.

For Ji Xiuran, Gongsun Zizhan was the one who was safe and reliable. Telling Gongsun Zizhan was equivalent to telling the people behind him. With the ability of the people behind him, these were not a problem.

One day, half a month after the message was sent, a dark person suddenly appeared in Ji Xiuran's study room, and sneaked in without a sound. If he hadn't shown up on his own initiative, Ji Xiuran would not have been able to detect it, and it was also because Shi Jingchen was not there at the time. , if he was there, with his keenness, this person wouldn't be able to sneak in so easily.

Although there was one more living person suddenly, he was surprised, but soon Ji Xiuran calmed down. The man also knew that his way of appearance was a little scary, so he expressed his apology, and took out the token for Ji Xiuran to check.Ji Xiuran didn't know the token, but the symbol on it was a royal totem, and only the subordinates of the royal family could use it. After checking the token, Ji Xiuran let go of his wariness, and handed over the evidence he had to him. that person.

After the man got the evidence, he didn't look through it, nodded to Ji Xiuran, and then flew away, without disturbing the servants outside the door at all, as if he came and went without a trace.
