Chapter 1296

In a short time, Wang Xiancheng's Yamen saw the manager Deng of siglaishan mine. He got Wang Xiancheng's advice and naturally told the other party that it was the people from Zhennan Wangfu. In spite of the uncertainty in his heart, steward Deng came at once.

This is an hour and a half later

The steward Deng was a man in his late forties. He was a man in a brown robe. He was short but capable, with a shrewd moustache on his face.

He was taken to wait outside the house. He secretly looked into the room and looked at Nangong Yue inside. As soon as he arrived at the post station, he had already heard from Wang Xiancheng downstairs that the second young master Xiao came here specially to purchase iron ore for the army. This is not easy to do

Nangong Yue had just used a snack and was taking the tea from Baihui. He gargle his mouth and said carelessly, "call in the people."

Wang Xiancheng then brought Deng Guanshi into the house. After saluting, he said respectfully, "young master, this is Deng Guanshi from Fangjia mine."

Nangong Yue casually answered, and his eyes moved to Deng Guanshi. He looked up and down at him, as if he had noticed his existence. He said, "it's said that you are in charge of the mine on siglaishan?"

"Yes, second childe." Steward Deng bowed forward and deliberately called the other party "second childe." I heard from Lord Wang that the young master wanted to purchase iron ore for the army in southern Xinjiang. Military affairs are of course very important, but... "

As soon as he heard the word "just" the faint smile on the corner of Nangong Yue's mouth disappeared. He turned his face like a book, and his whole face was gloomy. She suddenly put away the fan, "pa" in the room loud and clear.

"My childe, this is military supplies procurement. Do you dare to refuse?" Nangong Yue yelled in a high voice, "I've heard that merchants are greedy for profits. Some mines suspect that the price of military supplies is not high, so they make various excuses." She pointed to the other party's nose with a fan and said, "don't you think I dare not treat you for neglecting military affairs?"

Seeing the dandy Prince's performance vividly, Lily was so laughing that his stomach almost hurt. This time, it was really no waste to go out with the princess. It was so fun!

But her face is still silent, even with disdainful eyes to look at Deng steward, that toe high gas expression seems to say, you dare to speak in front of our childe!

Seeing that the young master didn't deny his identity, and the servants in the room also showed a natural expression, director Deng could finally be sure that this was really Xiao Luan, the second childe of Xiao. It was not easy to do!

If the other party wants to make a big deal of things, it will be very disadvantageous to yourself.

It's better to coax the Giant Buddha back to China!

"Second young master, even if I ate the gall of bear heart leopard, I don't dare to neglect the military affairs and the second young master. Are you?" "Small" means that a batch of iron ores have just been sent out two days ago, but now there are not many iron ores left. I want to ask how many ores the second young master needs? It's better to go back and let the miners rush back to work... "

He thought the answer would satisfy the other party, but he didn't want the troublesome childe to frown and say, "I just asked you, why do you have so many questions?! Do you think I don't even look at my shopping? I haven't seen it with my own eyes. How can I know the quality of the ore in your mine! Who knows if you're going to confuse me with inferior ores? "

"Childe, how could it be?" Steward Deng's brow twitched for a moment, and he sighed in his heart that this childe was really not good to serve. If he provided inferior iron ore to the army of Southern Xinjiang, he would not have cheated those teachers even if he had won the second master Xiao How can you do such a stupid thing!

Steward Deng was trying to explain, but unexpectedly, the childe came up with an idea: "no, I have to go to the mine to see the goods in person! It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun. You'll take this young master to the mine now

That's not going to work! Deng Guanshi was frightened and said in a hurry: "this can't be done, second childe! The mine is too dangerous. There are often falling rocks, and even the mine cave may collapse. This is not a small nonsense After a pause, he carefully looked at the other side's face and suggested, "second young master, how about bringing a batch of ores to you to inspect the goods?"

Anyway, Xiao Ying has successfully sneaked into the mine. Nangong Yue didn't have to go there by himself. He just wanted to cheat him. It seems that he is reluctant to go by himself Nangong Yue frowned intentionally, nodded his head and said, "that young master will wait for you to bring the sample to have a look first."

Director Deng finally breathed a sigh of relief. His back was wet with sweat, and his mouth was busy: "of course, of course!" Then, he turned to flattery and said, " Second young master, you come from a long way. Unfortunately, our town is really remote and remote, and there is no place to eat and have fun. I am wronged by you. But not long ago, I got a box of Nanzhu. Each one is the size of a baby's fist. It's good whether it's used to make jewelry or to play with it casually... "

Nangong Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, revealing a trace of interest, and asked, "where are you, such as the mountains and the Pearl?"Seeing that the other party was very interested, steward Deng said with a smile: "it's also just right. Last time I met a Nanyang merchant team, I got lucky. When I go back, I'll send it to you and let you appreciate it..." He winked at nangongyue. The so-called appreciation is naturally to offer treasure.

Nangong Yue shook his fan and laughed heartily. For a moment, the atmosphere in the room relaxed a lot, and it seemed that the atmosphere of tension had never existed before.

After more than one hour's suspense, Deng's heart was finally put down. Fortunately, although Xiao Er is in trouble, he should be just a childe who is not familiar with the world.

In the evening of the same day, he ordered someone to bring a box of pearly pearl to nangongyue, and Lily took it for his master.

And on that night, someone reported back.

Because the matter was not very urgent, Baihui didn't disturb the master's rest after getting Zhou Dacheng's message. Until the next morning, she said, "princess, a carriage full of iron ore came in the middle of the night yesterday, and the carriage rushed into the mine..."

The 100 elite soldiers they accompanied were all stationed outside the city. Yesterday, Nangong Yue ordered Zhou Dacheng to order several people to stare at siglaishan and the surrounding area of the town.

Sure enough, there is a harvest!

Lily is waiting for nangongyue to comb his hair and smell his speech. His movements can't help but pause for a moment. He tilts his head and says in doubt: "why does the minister Deng want to transfer iron ore from the outside?"

Nangong Yue put a smile on his mouth. Even if it was really like what director Deng said, the ore had been transported away. However, what she wanted to see was just samples. For such a large mine, couldn't she get some samples to see?

Unless, what this mine produces is not iron ore at all! It's something else

This time, she just wanted to explore the situation. After all, it happened more than ten years ago. I'm afraid she can't find out why in such three or two days, but now it seems that she can't really get nothing.

Nangong Yue slowly used up the breakfast, and Deng came to ask for a meeting, and brought a carriage of iron ore.

Nangong Yue hears the news and takes Zhou Dacheng and others to go downstairs to check.

It was a cart of yellow and gray stones, large and small stones piled together, at first glance, it seemed that there was no difference with ordinary stones.

Nangong Yue frowned, disdainfully covered his face with a fan, and then threw an eye at Zhou Dacheng.

Zhou Dacheng immediately went forward to check the quality of the ore. he picked up several pieces of iron ore and weighed it. After trying it with magnetite, he replied to nangongyue: "childe, it's a good iron ore mine."

Nangong Yue nodded with satisfaction. As soon as the fan was collected, he immediately said, "well, this batch of military supplies orders will be sent to your mines, Lao Zhou," she looked at Zhou Dacheng and asked casually, "Laozhou, how many iron ores do we need this time?"

Zhou Dacheng respectfully replied: "huigongzi, this batch is 200 stones."

Seeing this young master Xiao coming out to purchase military supplies, he didn't even know how much iron ore he needed for this trip. You can imagine how crude he was in handling affairs. On the one hand, he despised him, but on the other hand, he secretly complained: 200 stones?! Thirty Jin for Jun, four Jun for stone, that's 24000 Jin of ore! Where does he go to raise so many iron mines?!

However, after two times of dealing with each other, steward Deng can feel the temper of the second young master Xiao a little bit. The other is the second son of the palace. It is estimated that no one dares to say no to him except Zhennan Wang and Shizi Ye. If you want to send this Buddha away, you can't go against his will

If you send people away earlier, you can do it earlier!

After biting the back teeth, Deng said, "second young master, there are so many iron mines that are too small to make up for a while. How about this? I'd like to ask the second young master to give you a few days' grace. I'll go to prepare immediately. When I'm ready, I'll send you to Luoyue city in person. What do you think?"

Deng Guanshi said while carefully observing Nangong Yue's look.

Sure enough, the other party was still not satisfied, so he put away the fan and said, "no way! Steward Deng, I'll give you five days. After five days, I will take the two hundred iron ores back in person. " She said, with a hint of urgency in her voice. Then she squinted at steward Deng with a hint of danger in her voice, "if you disgrace me, don't blame me Hum

Steward Deng looks very good. I heard that Xiao Shizi had a great victory in the south. I'm afraid Xiaoer is in a hurry. He also wants to earn face and make military achievements in front of the king. That's why I came to purchase this small iron mine in person Ah, I can only blame myself for my bad luck. I should have attracted such a plague God!

No matter how much discontent he felt in his heart, he did not dare to show half a point. After bowing down, he stepped down in a hurry.

After leaving the post station, steward Deng turned on his horse and went straight out of town with two of his men, and then drove all the way back to the mine in siglaire mountain. At the foot of the mountain, the big man guarding the gate opened the iron gate as soon as he saw that the steward Deng came back.

A man of medium height had already been waiting behind the door and met him. He saluted nervously and said, "steward Deng..." He wanted to ask steward Deng whether it was going well, but judging from his face, he knew that there was some trouble.After getting off the horse, Deng threw the horse rope to one of his men. His face was as heavy as water. He strode up the mountain road and asked, "what's the yield of the past few days, old song?"

The man, known as the old song dynasty, hurriedly followed him and said, "Mr. Deng, you can mine 20 stones a day on average this month."

"Only twenty stones?" "Compared with last month, the output has dropped again," said Mr. Deng

Old song hesitated for a moment, or lowered his voice and asked, "steward Deng, do you think this mine has been mined for more than ten years, will it be nearly finished?"

Steward Deng's face was even worse. After a while, he said, "the second master Xiao wants two hundred iron ores in total. You can find a way to get together quickly! How much can be put together first! " In case the uneasy young master Xiao inquires about it, he can also delay it for a while.

Two hundred iron ore?! Old song took a breath. They went out of nowhere to produce two hundred iron ores! But the second young master Xiao can't kill or force There is no choice but to cooperate!

"Yes, manager Deng." Old song took his orders with his fist in his arms, and then he turned his head and went down the mountain.

Director Deng continued to walk along the winding mountain road. He was extremely embarrassed: now that the royal highness of the great prince is far away in Wangdu, where should they go to collect the 200 iron ores with their hands?!

Give up here No, this is a treasure land! Besides, without the order of the prince, they could not retreat easily.

After walking for dozens of Zhang without expression, Deng suddenly stopped, his eyes lit up and squinted.

By the way! And the sixth prince, he can send for help!

After the puppet king ascended the throne, although the sixth prince had been kept under house arrest in the prince's house, he would not wait to die with his strategy.

As for here

Steward Deng raised his eyes and looked ahead. There were so many busy miners coming and going. From time to time, some miners pushed out wheelbarrows full of ore from the mine cave. The sound of beating and hammering came one after another in the mine

Not far away, seven or eight young men in grey cloth were standing in a line, fearing their hands and feet. In front of them was a tall and strong man, with his head raised and his chest straight, saying that he was foaming.

One of the men behind him followed Deng's eyes and said, "steward Deng, these are new arrivals. Lord tiger is teaching them the rules."

Deng Guanshi squinted and said, "you go to tell ah Hu that there are more people mining here!" This mine is so abundant that he doesn't believe it is really exhausted. If he continues to dig deeper, there must be another mine!

With that, steward Deng strode to the direction of the study, while the man ran to the tiger master with his back to him in a hurry. The tiger still yelled at the new miner:

"all ears up for me. Every day the cock crows and the work is finished. "

"Every morning after I get up, there is still Youshi, and each has a incense time to eat."

"Everyone must mine at least five Jun of ore every day, or there will be no dinner for them!"

"If the ore mined is less than three Jun, ten whips will be used!"

"If anyone wants to escape, he will be killed with a stick..."

“……”

The more he said, the more excited he became. Later, he raised his sleeve in a demonstration. His arm muscles were bulging and strong.

Xiao Ying, standing on the far right of a row of miners, takes back his sight without trace and picks up the corners of his mouth with interest.

Interesting, so interesting!

At least 5 Jun per day per person! On average, the mine mines 20 stones a day, and there are 600 stones a month. However, the manager thinks that the output of the mine is not enough. He is worried about the 200 stone iron ore as if the sky is about to fall

This mine, and the people here, is so interesting.

Xiao Ying's eyes flashed, and he had an idea.

Now just wait for dark

The night came slowly in Xiao Ying's expectation. The miners were busy until Haishi. In an instant, the whole mine field fell into silence. There was no sound of mining ore, no sound of unicycle rolling, no cry and sigh of miners' fatigue All that remained was the tired snoring of the miners sleeping on their pillows.

On the cold and dirty ground, there were simply ragged straw mats. The miners were all sleeping on the ground, covered with grey linen. It seemed that they were not much better than the beggars on the road.

In a thunderous snore, Xiao Ying, who had closed his eyes and was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes, as black as obsidian, were shining brightly in the dark room without a trace of light.

Convinced that everyone in the room was sleeping like a dead pig, Xiao Ying jumped up quickly, and then walked behind the door like a ghost. Through the crack of the door, you can see a guard outside the door yawning lazily. For Xiao Ying, a character like this is just a piece of cake.

He did not know where to find a blowing arrow. When he blew at the crack of the door, a silver needle shot from the crack of the door. The silver light flashed through and stabbed the guard's neck, and the other side fell lazilyThe overpowering drug on the silver needle was enough for him to sleep till dawn.

Xiao Ying's handsome face showed a thief's smile. He quickly opened the door and walked out. Of course, he also remembered to take away the silver needle on the guard's neck.

Although he has only been here for more than a day, Xiao Ying has already felt the layout of the periphery of the mine. He has never had a chance to enter the mine. These novices should learn the rules from the tiger master for a few days and do some sweeping and coolies.

Since the other side did not give the opportunity, Xiao Ying had to come by himself.

At night, the mine lights were all out, only the moon in the sky shed a silver light, barely illuminating the road ahead. One by one, the dark mine caves are deep and bottomless, just like a huge beast with a big mouth.

Xiao Ying is not picky. He chooses the nearest mine and sneaks in. His figure is engulfed by the darkness in the blink of an eye

The stars in the night twinkle and blink, silently taking everything that happens on the earth below into my eyes

When Xiao Ying comes out of the mine, he stealthily dives into siglaishan and rushes to the post station in the town.

Being in a strange post station, Nangong Yue came in disguise. Nangong Yue was sleeping with her clothes on. As soon as she heard that Xiao Ying was coming, she immediately got up and asked Baihui to help her bundle her hair again and put on a cloak, so she went out to the main room outside.

"Princess of the world!" Xiao Ying saluted respectfully, took out a gray stone from his arms, handed it to Baihui, and then presented it to nangongyue by Baihui. "This is the ore from the mine hole."

Anyone who has eyes can see that this gray ore looks very different from the truck of iron ore delivered by steward Deng during the day.

Nangong Yue turns the ore across a square of PA, and raises the corners of his mouth thoughtfully.

She doesn't know much about the ore, but she probably knows that there are many kinds of iron ores. But if this ore is iron ore, why should she go to other places to find a truck of ore for her.

"Princess, I still have something to tell you..."

Then, Xiao Ying truthfully reported the dialogue between Deng Guanshi and Song Dynasty to nangongyue. At that time, there was a lot of noise in the mine, and they were not close to each other. Of course, Xiao Ying didn't hear it. He learned it after reading the lip language between Deng Guanshi and song.

Nangong Yue's expression is more dignified.

She still remembers what sun Xinyi said. At that time, a man with a Baiyue accent appeared in the fangs and tried to seize the Fangs' mine in siglaishan. But Sun Xinyi didn't know whether he succeeded in the end.

Now, the county magistrate and even the people in this town regard the mine as owned by the Fang family.

Even Zhou Dacheng, when referring to siglaishan earlier, also said that it was Fangjia's industry.

Whether it is or not, it is obvious that this kind of ore is very important to Deng Guanshi's group of people, and their demand for it can be said to be thirsty. Even if the output of 600 stones a month can not meet them.

What could this be?!
