Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

It was late at night, and Tong Ran and Shen Xi stayed at a farmhouse.

These days, in order to explore the topography of Zhuoyang Mansion and the communication with various places, they often go to some remote places, and they cannot live in post houses or inns every day.It is also common to live in a farmhouse like today.

This farmhouse is not big, and the owner gave up a big room for Tong Ran and the little tiger.Yuan San and the others slept in another family at the back, while Shen Xi slept in a farmhouse further away.

The little tiger was carried to the bed by Tong Ran. It fiddled with the quilt, sniffed the pillow, and kicked it in disgust.

"You don't have anything to choose today." Tong Ran took off his coat and said, "There is only one quilt, so let's make do with it. It's cold at night, you don't want to sleep outside, do you?"

"Wow!" The little tiger yelled at him.

Tong Ran didn't care, brought a basin of water and asked it to wash its paws and face.

The little tiger reluctantly went over and raised his paw to wipe it for Tong Ran.Tong Ran wiped its paws with a warm damp cloth, and pinched the pads.Although the little tiger is still small, its paws are much larger than those of a cat, and its fur is thicker, which feels very good to the touch.

"Wow!" Tong Ran held on for a long time, but the little tiger got angry and yelled at him.

"Okay, okay, I won't play with you anymore." Tong Ran surrendered, wiping its paws and face.The little tiger was served very comfortably, stretched his front paws on the ground, and got into the bed.

Tong Ran also took care of herself, and then went in to sleep with it.

It was a bit cold in the farmhouse, the little tiger subconsciously rubbed itself into Tong Ran's arms, Tong Ran hugged it contentedly, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

One person and one tiger slept soundly. On the second day, the aunt in the farmhouse prepared breakfast for them. Tong Ran and the little tiger ate well, gave the aunt some money, and planned to leave.After a few steps, I saw Sang Le coming from the direction where Yuan San and the others lived.

"Why are you here?" Tong Ran wondered.

Sang Le said: "When I came back from Shanglang Mansion, I passed by Ding County, and the yamen servant there said you were coming this way, so I didn't go back to Xiaoguo County, I just chased after you."

The news that Tong Ran and Shen Lingshi were ordered to build roads spread all over the Zhuoyang Mansion, and it is not surprising that Sang Le received the news.And Tong Ran was really worried about coal, it would be nice if he knew about it a day earlier.

Because he made an appointment with Shen Xi about the departure time, Tong Ran didn't ask Sang Le to report immediately, and only asked again during the lunch break.

Sang Le told Tong Ran the whole story: "My lord, before I set off, I first asked Huzi's father, he bought the coal in a village under Shanglang Mansion, and then I went to that village first. People in that village found coal when they dug a well, and several nearby villages also found coal. I drew a sketch, which is about these locations."

Sang Le took out a map from his pocket, it was the map of Shanglang Mansion's generation.

Shanglang Mansion is on the top, and Dingxian County, which borders it, is on the bottom. The village with coal is located near Ding County in Shanglang Mansion. The area is like a leg protruding from Shanglang Mansion. The area is not big , not much further up is Jin Hejian's territory.

"How many villages are there in this area? Is there a county?" Tong Ran asked.

Sang Le said: "There are six villages in total, without a county. They were originally under the supervision of Jinhe Supervisor, and they were later included in Shanglang Mansion."

Tong Ran also knew a thing or two about Jinhe Supervisor. There was an iron mine there, and it was also engaged in smelting.Dacheng's mineral deposits are all under the unified management of the imperial court, and a piece of land will be circled where the mineral deposits are discovered, and the inspectors will manage and manage them in a unified manner.The position of supervisory envoy ranks among the top five ranks, just like the combination of local officials and the bosses of central enterprises, managing both administration and business.If the local area is rich in mineral resources, the territory is large and the population is large, it is very rich and powerful, and the officials in the capital must also be courteous.

But this Jinhe prison is not big, and the imperial court doesn't seem to value it very much, so it's nothing more than mediocre.

"Has the people there started using coal?" Tong Ran asked.

Sang Le said: "I stayed in those villages for some time, and the local people used it for everything. Because it is black, many people used it to write and draw on the wall, and some people like adults In this way, use it to bake things, but it doesn't seem to work well in a large stove.

"That's because today's stove is not suitable." Tong Ran said, "What's the attitude of the local government?"

"No attitude, no one pays attention to it." Sang Le said.

Tong Ran knew it in his mind.There must be a coal mine in Shanglang Mansion, and the depth is not deep, at least the upper layer of the mine is very close to the surface, and it can be excavated with the current technology, but the reserves are not known.

Tong Ran is very interested in this coal mine, but it is a pity that he is far away from him. At most, he will send someone to buy it, but it is impossible to organize the mining by himself.But now the government doesn't care, what the farmers can dig is only some of the surface, not much.

Tong Ran played with the unicorn around his waist.He has been wearing it since he came back from the palace, maybe it's time to use it this time.

In the evening, Tong Ran went back to her room and took out the unicorn pendant.

"Zai Zai, do you think brother can succeed?" Tong Ran said to himself.

After waiting for a while, the little tiger didn't move at all. Tong Ran couldn't help but look at it, but she didn't know when it had climbed onto the bed and slept under the covers.

Sleepy pup.Tong Ran tucked the quilt for it, picked up the unicorn pendant and went to the other side of the room.

He sat down, sank his qi to his dantian, concentrated the power of the five senses, and channeled the righteous qi in the spiritual platform.

These days he ran around to build roads, and his righteousness continued to grow through his hard work, and he has reached the sixth stage of the Xuan rank, which is more diligent than when he was in the palace. I wonder if he can say a few more words this time.

In the study room of Xuanzheng Hall, Chu Jun sat behind the desk, and Su Jin stood beside him.

Su Jin clasped his whisk with both hands, and took another sneak look at Chu Jun.His Majesty's posture remained the same, it was already a stick of incense, the table in front of him was clean, only the white jade unicorn pendant that never left his body was placed in the center, and His Majesty stared at the jade pendant, as if he was waiting for something.

"How long has it been since I got up?" Chu Jun asked suddenly.

"It takes about one stick of incense." Su Jin said.

"It's really slow." Chu Jun complained, and continued to stare at the white jade unicorn.

Suddenly, the jade pendant lit up, emitting a gentle and gentle light.

Su Jin suddenly remembered the scene outside the Xuanzheng Hall. He remembered that His Majesty's jade pendant was also lit up, and then they heard the voice of County Magistrate Tong.However, when His Majesty went in later, he didn't follow, and he didn't know the reason.

"Your Majesty." The magistrate Tong's voice came from the jade pendant again.Su Jin held his breath and listened carefully.

"What's the matter?" Chu Jun asked in a deep voice, seemingly casually.

"I would like to write a letter to you," Tong Ran said.

Officials below the fifth rank have no right to directly write letters to the emperor, but if the emperor orders special approval, it doesn't matter.

The matter of coal is very important, and Tong Ran didn't want to use Yu Qing's hand to convey it, so he thought of this jade pendant. If His Majesty can give special approval, he can directly write a letter explaining the use of coal.As long as His Majesty is willing to pay attention, the mining and utilization of coal can also be carried out as soon as possible.

"Sure." Chu Jun said.However, he only said half a word before the jade pendant's light went out.

useless.Chu Jun slandered, and he didn't know if he heard half of his quasi-words.

"Su Jin, pass on my will, and grant Tong Ran, magistrate of Xiaoguo County, the privilege of writing letters." Chu Jun said.

Su Jin took the order, bowed and retreated.

"Wait." But Chu Jun called him again, played with the quill pen on the corner of the table, stroked the distinct goose feathers with his fingers over and over again, and said after a moment of pondering, "Don't go, just follow me." Often said, let him respond."

"Your Majesty, is this inappropriate?" Su Jin reminded.

Chu Jun put down the quill: "It's okay, you can do it."

"No." Su Jin said no more, bowed and retreated.

Chu Jun stared at the jade pendant for a moment, picked it up, and put it on himself.

Since coming to the capital, Tong Ran has been followed by big and small eyes.Yu Qing and Hu Tong, who asked him to build roads, were in the same category. They were not very threatening, but the eyes from the other five major families were very annoying.

If I suddenly grant him the privilege of writing a letter, it will inevitably attract people's attention, why not keep a low profile and let Fan Heng handle this matter.

Really, if Tong Ran's righteousness is higher, they can talk directly through the jade pendant, so why do they need to write a letter?

Putting on the jade pendant, Chu Jun picked up a memorial and read it.

When Su Jin came back from finishing his work, he polished Chu Jun's ink for a while, and then quietly stood aside.

He has been following Chu Jun closely, knowing that he treats Tong Ran differently.Originally, he only thought that he was interested in Tong Ran's talent, but today, Su Jin had some different guesses.

It is the duty of the courtiers to eat the emperor's salary and worry about being loyal to the emperor.But the ruler does not need to consider the situation of his subjects.

The last time Chu Jun granted Tong Ran a residence in the palace, it could be seen as a way of cherishing talent and kindness, but it was just a means for the king to win people's hearts.This time, if he wanted to show kindness again, he should have directly granted the privilege of submitting a letter, but His Majesty did the opposite and asked Tong Ran to follow Fan Heng's path.

Fan's front line is secret, and no one in the court knows.If Tong Ran can communicate with His Majesty through this line, not only can he get closer to the King, but also avoid the trouble of being jealous by others.But as far as His Majesty is concerned, he has to bear the risk of Fan's line being revealed by Tong Ran, or being discovered by someone with a heart.

Your Majesty has trusted and valued Tong Ran so far, would you rather take the risk yourself than plan carefully for him?

Su Jin looked at his nose, nose and heart, and carefully restrained his thoughts.This matter must not be noticed by others, especially Mrs. Fu, otherwise I don't know what kind of disturbance it will cause.

Tong Ran lay back on the bed. After he made a request just now, His Majesty seemed to have answered, but he lost his righteousness, Yupei's contact was cut off, and he didn't know what His Majesty's response would be.

He stroked the sleeping little tiger, sat up cross-legged, and began to adjust his breath.

If His Majesty allows it, there will probably be an action. I don't have the strength to activate the jade pendant again for the time being, so I can only wait quietly.

Tong Ran stopped thinking about it, gathered all his mind and adjusted his breath.

The little tiger under the quilt opened a pair of green eyes, looked at him twice, and closed them again.A beam of righteousness gently invaded Tong Ran's altar, and silently merged with his own righteousness, making up for what was lost just now.
