Chapter 235: Capturing Miners
This place doesn't seem to be underground, but rather on a mountain.
From a distance, this space is divided into several parts.
Nangong Rui saw countless strong and powerful men with bare chests digging copper mines, sweating profusely and busy having fun.
Someone was transporting the copper ore to another site to smelt it. There was a huge boiler there and the craftsmen had dark skin.
Someone is casting the refined copper into coins.
Someone was counting the copper coins.
There were also countless supervisors on the field, waving whips and driving the people to work.
There were too many people, so Nangong Rui only brought five people down.
After squatting here for a while, I had to go back the same way to seek help.
When we got out of the ground, it was already bright.
In the backyard of the inn, Lin Yunzhi was preparing to demonstrate his mandarin duck sword skills.
“The Mandarin Duck Sword Technique was originally a sword technique for husband and wife, but the old sect master focused on the men’s sword technique and also integrated the essence of the women’s sword technique, making it a sword technique that can be used by a single person.
Master Hu, you guys better watch out for a while."
After saying that, Lin Yunzhi started to show off her sword skills. When she was young, she had a good talent in martial arts, but she was noticed by Qing Xuan, the leader of Xuanmen, and martial arts became an auxiliary means for her. However, her kung fu was also extremely powerful.
Back then, because of Xuanmen’s special methods, she was not included in the martial arts rankings.
If it were just relying on martial arts, Lin Yunzhi would probably be able to break into the top ten. With the help of Xuanmen's techniques, he would be firmly in the first place.
Hu Zhongping and several of his disciples focused their attention on Lin Yunzhi. They saw that Lin Yunzhi was agile and powerful as she used the Double-edged Sword Technique. Some of the moves had been modified after her own understanding.
Seeing those familiar moves, the Double-edged Sword Technique in Hu Zhongping's memory became clear, and he picked up the sword in his hand and started dancing with Lin Yunzhi.
Tian Lele watched from the side. Lin Yunzhi paused during a few moves and the connection was not very smooth. Tian Lele combined martial arts from all over the world, completed the sword techniques, and drew them in the booklet.
This was the scene that Tian Xiaoxiao saw when she woke up.
It seemed that this was also the first time she had watched Lin Yunzhi use his swordsmanship seriously.
It feels like I’m back in a martial arts novel in an instant.
She was fascinated by the sight.
She didn't know when Daju sat next to her, and the man and the cat became another unique scenery in the yard.
"It turns out that the female heroes in martial arts novels, their superb swordsmanship, and their ability to fly over rooftops and walls are all real."
Daju: [Are you still asleep? You are somewhat similar to all of the types you mentioned! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Oh, my situation doesn’t count. Look at my mother. Without any special abilities, she can take the head of the enemy leader in the midst of thousands of troops without any difficulty.]
Daju: [Kung Fu is truly a magical technique. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I’ll ask my mom to teach me someday. It should be in time for me to learn now.]
Daju: [You have long arms and legs, but your body flexibility is not good enough, right? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It should be possible, right? After all, I am only four and a half years old. ]
Daju: [Keep watching, you don’t need kung fu to be invincible. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, why is Nangong Rui here too? Didn’t he handle things well last night?]
Daju: [We can't handle it. Do you know how many people are under the tunnel? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It seems that the end of the tunnel is a copper mine, a copper smelter, or a mint?]
Daju: [That’s right. There are 5,000 people in total, and he only brought five people with him. How could he handle it? He came back just to get help.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It means that he wants us to help him. ]
Daju: [It should be. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [The two of us can go, and let my mother and the others teach Master Hu the Double-winged Sword Technique here.]
Daju: [We also need to invite your elder brother and sister-in-law, right? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Okay, I’ll go and shout.]
"Brother, Sister Hongyu, come here for a moment. Let's go and do something big. Do you want to go?"
Tian Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.
Ade and Ruozhu were close by and heard it all. Ade thought he didn't have time, so he decided not to be a burden.
Ruozhu needed to hold Tian Xixi and couldn't get away.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, do you need help?" Tian Xiaoxiao walked quickly to Nangong Rui and asked.
"Yes, Miss Tian. There are too many people in the copper mine. It is impossible for me to catch them all. I had to come back to ask for help."
"Let's go, tie up everyone, and seal off the copper mine. After breakfast, we have to go to Huadu."
"In that case, thank you Miss Tian!" Nangong Rui expressed his gratitude.
"No need to thank me. By the way, I would like to ask a favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Miss Tian, please feel free to speak."
"Please allow women to take the imperial examination next year. Set up official positions suitable for women and let them take the exam. In the future, women and men should have the same rights to participate in politics and all national construction."
"That's exactly what I was thinking, but I have no idea what to do now, and there will definitely be a lot of resistance!"
"The resistance is easy to resolve. When we hold the special examination next year, we will select progressive people with open minds and select outstanding women from across the country. Their actual actions will tell the conservatives that women can hold up half the sky."
"I've made note of it."
"Also, select a group of young talents and send them to the West to see for themselves. It's time to open the country's doors."
"It's being prepared. This matter has been handed over to Tang Yin."
"You have a good vision. Tang Yin is the most suitable person to do this. Let's go, finish cleaning up early and go to Huadu to take a look."
Nangong Rui took the lead and came to the dilapidated low-rise house from last night, with his men guarding the surroundings.
Everyone in the room was tied up last night, and no one knew where Nangong Rui took them.
Not far away, there is a familiar house.
It turned out that Fenglei, Fengyu and others had come over overnight!
It is still a problem as to where to detain the thousands of people who will follow.
Several people entered the tunnel and walked for a long time before seeing the scene that Nangong Rui saw last night.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, there is a different world here! ]
Daju: [The hard-earned money of the people started to go to the corrupt officials from here. These craftsmen didn’t even know that they were helping the tyrants.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [You must know about coin casting, right? ]
Daju: [Only the craftsman from the Salt and Iron Institute knew about this. Everyone else thought they were making money for the Huadu government.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [These people are quite good at deceiving people.]
Daju: [They have money anyway, so if you pay them a little more, they will keep their mouths shut.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Let's get to work. This copper mine will be sealed for now. We'll need Nangong Rui to open it later.]
Daju: [Is it still sealed like the gold mine in Stone City? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [No need, just give the power to Nangong Rui alone, what do I need this broken copper mine for?]
Daju: [Okay, put the mining craftsmen into your bracelet first, they are innocent.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Well, we both go invisible.]
Daju: [Okay.]
A man and a cat were talking about their plans as if no one was around.
"Your Highness, I'll go deal with the craftsmen. You, my elder brother, and my elder sister-in-law will each have a site. I'll be here to help you soon. All you have to do is tie up the people."
When he finished speaking, Tian Xiaoxiao had already disappeared and walked far away.
There was no hesitation. Since the work had already been divided, I just did it.
Tian Xiaoxiao arrived in front of the group of miners who were still working hard at mining, and couldn't help feeling sad when she looked at them.
No matter what era, those who are oppressed and exploited are always the people at the bottom of society!
