Chapter 356: Peace and Happiness
Chapter 356: Peace and Happiness
While they were attacking, Yuan Man sat alone on the mountain and watched.
This is the first time I’ve seen a war from this perspective.
There are quite a few people guarding the mines. Just a rough calculation shows that there are at least two hundred of them.
Each of them has good martial arts skills, and the border guards are obviously no match for them.
Yuan Man jumped down from the mountain and joined the battle.
In fact, even if she didn't come down, Hui Chengyuan could still handle it.
She just wanted to finish it early and go back.
Her sword was always used only to strike the neck, so the speed at which the enemy fell was so fast that it frightened the writer.
Wen Hao pulled the people around him and said, "Hurry up and leave. We can't save them anymore."
The man was obviously unwilling, "I can't leave. Don't you know how important this gold mine is?"
"I think you know what the consequences of losing this gold mine are."
The writer knew it, but in his opinion, life was more important.
If you don't escape, you will die here. If you escape, you may have a chance to survive.
So he left the man behind and headed towards his house.
Yuan Man watched as the number of people gradually decreased, so he stopped moving and found a stone at the entrance of the mine to sit down.
In the blink of an eye, he saw Gu Cheng sitting among the miners.
When he saw Gu Chen, he showed a look of surprise.
This guy is really working hard and has made himself look like a skeleton.
"Gu Cheng, come here."
Gu Chen looked at her, immediately ran over and sat down beside her.
"Is there anything to eat?"
Yuan Man saw how skinny he was and swallowed back the words he wanted to say to him.
"Who has food on their person at this late hour?"
"Just bear with it for a while, and I'll ask someone to make you a healthy meal when I get back."
"Tell me about you. You are the skinniest among so many people. Are you unable to compete with them or what?"
Gu Chen curled his lips, "Isn't this just about acting like it is real?"
"Besides, I am a martial arts expert, so I am embarrassed to compete with them."
"Haha, so you starved yourself into this state?" Yuan Man was speechless.
In her opinion, this is what a great saint man does.
No matter what you do, saving your life is the most important thing.
If you lose your life, everything is just empty talk.
"Gu Cheng, what is your most important principle as an inspector?"
Gu Cheng was stunned, thought for a moment and said: "Strictly investigate corrupt officials and return peace and happiness to the people."
"You've lost your life, so how can you crack down on corrupt officials?" Yuan Man looked at him.
"You know there are places where thousands of soldiers are willing to sacrifice their lives to save a good officer."
"Do you know why they are willing to do that?"
Gu Cheng was stunned.
Yuan Man asked again: "What do you think about the matter of Zhongcheng?"
"All the officials in Zhongcheng were dismissed due to their greed and became running dogs of the Song State."
"So, Gu Cheng, there are not many good officials, and you are one of the few good officials. You must cherish your life."
"If you live longer, you can do more good things for the people."
Gu Cheng murmured and nodded, "I understand."
Yuanman didn't say anything else.
The previous battle was over, and the escaping writer was captured.
Hui Chengyuan was not in a hurry to interrogate, but instead led his men towards the mine.
Looking at the skinny Gu Cheng, his brows were furrowed.
"Your martial arts skills are just for show. You've made yourself look like this."
The corner of Gu Cheng's mouth twitched.
As expected of a married couple, they speak the same way.
"I'll have someone send you back first. If you don't take care of it for a year or so, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring it back."
Hui Chengyuan said this and called Ling Yang over.
"Send him to Xiao Yudie."
Gu Cheng immediately interrupted and said, "No, don't go back yet. Arrange for me to live somewhere else."
Yuan Man rolled his eyes and said, "Now I feel sorry for you."
"The longer you don't go back, the more worried she will be."
"Go back now and ask her to take good care of you. You can at least gain some sympathy by playing a pitiful role."
"Otherwise, let's see if you can coax her well."
"Well, then take me back." Gu Chen was really worried that he wouldn't be able to coax Yudie.
What the Crown Princess said also made sense. If he went back now, he could win some sympathy. Even if Yu Die was angry, she wouldn't ignore him.
Ling Yang smiled and took the person away.
Hui Chengyuan pulled Yuan Man up and said, "Let's go and see how big this gold mine is."
Yuanman immediately became alert and followed him into the mine.
After walking about one meter, I saw the golden color exposed on the mine wall.
Yuan Man went forward and touched it, "Tell me, why don't you pick all the ones above together?"
Hui Chengyuan pulled her over and continued walking inside.
“If you dig up everything outside, the entire gold mine will be exposed to the sun.”
"They are stealing gold mines, so they naturally don't dare to do this."
The two of them walked deeper into the cave, and after taking a look, even Yuan Man, who didn't know much about it, knew that this was a mountain of gold.
After walking out of the mine, Yuan Man asked, "What are you going to do with this mine?"
Hui Chengyuan looked at the valley, which was full of blood and no one had cleaned up the blood on the ground.
"Gu Cheng's health needs to be properly recuperated. I plan to let him supervise the mining."
"Then let Ling Yun stay here to assist, and leave another 1,000 soldiers to guard the place."
"This gold mine is so huge that once it's all mined, I'm afraid the entire mountain will have to be flattened."
Yuan Man looked around and finally fixed his sight between Zhongdao Mountain and Xifang Mountain.
"The imperial court is opening a mine, so there is no need to change the route. Just mine in all directions and move all the rocks and soil that are dug out to that side."
"Then have someone build a fence. My people will build the flower valley here. By the time the flower valley is finished, the mine will be almost finished."
Hui Chengyuan shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't be as you wish."
"This mine must be mined as soon as possible, so it will take up a larger area. Your valley court will have to requisition it."
"But don't worry, I will give you the rent."
"Mr. Duo?" Yuan Man looked up at him.
Hui Chengyuan lowered his eyes and smiled, "How much do you want?"
"The more the better." Yuan Man rested his chin on his chest and just looked up at him.
Hui Chengyuan looked at the crowd around him and resisted the urge to kiss him.
"Okay, then I'll give you more. For every hundred taels of gold ore, I'll give you one tael. That's enough, right?"
"Are you really giving me so much?" Yuan Man looked at him with a smile.
Hui Chengyuan nodded, "I can still do this job."
Yuanman shook her head. She was not short of money, so what did she need that little share for?
"No need, just clean up the valley for me when you're done."
"And if you guys really dig up this mountain, you have to fill it back up."
"I'll just figure out a way to design it when the time comes."
Hui Chengyuan looked back at Zhong Dingshan, then went to get the blueprint and took a look at it.
Pointing to the blueprint, he said, "Wait for professionals to come and survey and confirm the gold mine."
"If the publication is uniform and the gold mine is indeed as big as we think, we can start mining from the side."
"In this way, it is equivalent to moving the clock path a little bit."
"Let's go back first. We haven't dealt with those people in the city yet."
Hui Chengyuan left the rest of the matters to Ling Feng and took Yuan Man back to Zhongcheng.
It was already late at night when they returned to the courtyard, so the two of them didn't disturb anyone and went to sleep after washing up.
