Husband-in-Law: Reborn Peasant Girl Busy Farming

"Exactly," Tang Luoyu guessed what he was going to say, and affirmed with a calm face, "The jade mines in this mountain are endless. I didn't expect such a treasure to be hidden in this barren hillside."

Dashan stopped digging, and looked up at everyone with a blank face, "So, this green stone is really very valuable?"

"It's not just valuable," Ke Ran slapped his thigh, "A piece of good-quality jadeite is priceless, not to mention the entire mountain! That's almost as rich as an enemy!"

Dashan stared, and stood there for a while.

It was Chai Jin who reacted quickly. He folded his arms in front of his chest. After a short silence, he opened his mouth to break the atmosphere of surprise and joy, "Speaking of which, how to deal with this jade mine? Should it be the nearby Orion or the imperial court?" ?”

Dashan frowned and sighed, "Actually, there are no villages in this bald mountain. Everyone lives in scattered places, especially the hunters. Because they have to set traps in the mountains all year round, in order to avoid hurting others, they usually live in villages. No matter how far away it is, although we know what kind of emerald it is, no one has ever dug it up, and it is useless to us, if we want to count it, we should count it as yours."

Xue Lince twitched his eyebrows, fearing that he would not know the value of the emerald, so he explained it again, but Dashan still insisted.

"Everyone is going south to rehabilitate. If you are not careful, you will sacrifice your life for the country. You are scholars, and you naturally know more than us who can't read. This jade mine is useless in our hands. It is better to leave it to you. .”

This time the problem came to everyone, Ke Ran tapped his temple, and said tentatively: "This matter is important, we must tell the emperor immediately, we have to go south to rehabilitate quickly, the journey has already delayed too much time, if we don't start again I'm afraid If we want to delay the military plane, we should discuss it on the road.”

"That's right," Chai Jin also nodded in affirmation, "Anyway, this jade mine can't run long, so let's discuss it on the road."

Xue Lince and Tang Luoyu looked at each other, the husband and wife nodded at each other, and could only agree to put the matter on hold for the time being, and write back to the capital when they arrived at their destination.

Having made up their minds, everyone made simple preparations to move on. Da Shan also packed up his things and brought out a mule.

He was persuaded by everyone, and he has made up his mind to go to the capital.

After closing the door of the house where he had lived for more than [-] years, Dashan put the necessary luggage on the mule's back, turned over, and pulled the rope. The rest of the people also got on the horses, and the two groups bid farewell briefly in the desolate Bald Mountain.

"Miss Tang, we will meet later."

Dashan followed Xue Lince's example and saluted Tang Luoyu, who also responded, and several people said in unison: "There will be a period later."

Afterwards, everyone bid farewell in front of the wooden house, and a group of people continued to go south, while Dashan turned to go north.

Xue Lince and his party walked for another day, and finally walked out of this huge valley and came to a small town with people. They had been walking for more than ten hours without sleep, and it was the time when they were tired and hungry. Tang Luoyu counted the days, and if he took a shortcut, he might still be able to catch up, so he proposed to settle down and rest for the night.

Xue Lince nodded in response. If he went south again, he would have reached the point where the Prince Regent put down the rebellion. If he wrote another letter to inform him about the Jingshan Jade Mine, he might not be able to deliver it to him in ten and a half months.

Because this small town is already close to the south, the town is also full of panic. There are no vendors and stalls on the streets, and there are no porters in the alleys. Except for a few relatively large inns, there are almost no people. They all went north to flee for their lives.

There is a lot of miasma in the south, the air is humid, and the rain is abundant. When everyone entered the inn, they smelled a strong smell of bitter wood. It was the time when they were tired. They had no time to think, and returned to their rooms after a simple dinner.

Xue Lince asked for the Four Treasures of the Study, lit the lamp, spread out the letter paper, dipped the brush in thick ink, and began to write a letter to Jing Shan, telling him everything about the Tushan Jade Mine. , sent out together with the letterhead.

Before the border between the north and the south reached the third month of Fenghuolian, the letter was sent smoothly, and it was delivered to Jingshan's mansion within five days.

As soon as he saw that it was Xue Lince's letter, he knew that something serious must have happened, so he quickly opened it and quickly browsed it. He was also surprised when he learned that there was a whole mountain of jade mines in the Bald Mountain at the junction of the north and the south, so he sent the letter together The emeralds and jade stones that came were collected, entered the palace overnight, and reported to the little emperor.

The emperor read the letter paper and looked at the jadeite in Jing Shan's hand, he was surprised and delighted, but he didn't know what to do.

"Jing Aiqing," he pinched the armrest of the dragon chair with trembling fingers, his fair face glowed with excitement, "how do you think this jade mine should be disposed of?"

After asking, without waiting for Jing Shan to respond, he said to himself again: "This is the moment of national crisis, and money is needed to fight wars. If this jade mine can be cleared, wouldn't it be a good idea to use it as military rations for rehabilitating?"

Jing Shan twitched her temples when she heard this, and hurriedly stopped her, "What the emperor said is very true, but this jade mine covers a vast area and is far away from the capital, so the difficulty of mining is unimaginable. The worms have not been cleaned up, if they are notified of the emperor's actions, and then follow the clues to discover the secrets of the jade mine, I am afraid that it will be a lot of trouble."

Although the little emperor succeeded to the throne not long ago, his thoughts were extremely meticulous. After hearing Jing Shan's advice, he quickly calmed down, and his eyes once again returned to the calmness of the past, like a black lake with no waves.

"Jing Aiqing is right," he frowned, and nodded slightly, but he couldn't make up his mind, "But if this jade mine is not mined, what should we do if others find it?"

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry," Jing Shan gently advised, "This jade mine has been in Bald Mountain for at least a hundred years. Since no one has discovered it for a hundred years, there is no rush for it. The so-called haste makes waste." Da, the emperor should keep this secret first, play it by ear, and don't make it public at this time."

"That makes sense," the little emperor stuffed the letter back into the envelope, "then put away the map drawn by Xue Aiqing, it will be of great use in mining jade mines in the future."

"Yes."

Jing Shan took the order to put the map in his sleeve, feeling a lot more at ease, and went out of the palace in the dark without attracting anyone's attention.

At the same time, Xue Lince and the others were still busy on their way. After a short rest, they rode on their horses again before the sun was bright, continuing their journey to the south.

The more you go south, the more humid and sparsely populated you will be. Occasionally, you will meet a few people on the road, all of whom are desperate people with burdens and horses running for their lives. It is also getting tighter and tighter.
