Chapter 1425： Far can't quench near thirst

The latest website: Mingrui is a courageous person who is not afraid of getting tired. He has been following the officers and soldiers up the mountain for the past few days.

Shangguan Liu watched Deputy General Wang and the Crown Prince enter the house, and asked Ming Rui in a low voice, "Did you really dig it?"

"Well, I dug it."

It has been confirmed that what the mountain village dug secretly is the branch line, and the main line is what has been dug out now.

Shangguan Liu clapped his hands, "We made it, no, we made a big contribution!"

The corners of Mingrui's mouth couldn't hold back no matter how much he pressed, "Yeah."

The prince wanted to go up the mountain in person, but King Qi stopped him, and finally King Qi went up to the mountain to confirm.

The crown prince is young. This is a gold mine. His father's ambitions have never been hidden from him. There are too many places in the country that use money. Just building a road every year is like running water, and the renovation of dams will give, even if it is laid down. There is not much money left in the national treasury.

Now that gold mines have been discovered and the treasury can be relaxed, Zhou Shangshu must be happy.

In the capital, the Zhou family still hired a doctor. The Zhao family hadn't slept all night, and her son was safe. She was even more worried, and felt uncomfortable after breakfast.

Zhulan asked the doctor to feel relieved when he knew that there was nothing serious, and comforted the Zhao family, "This time the assassination was unsuccessful, it will be difficult to assassinate again. Mingrui will be safer with the prince."

Zhao Shi, "Mother, I'm fine for you to worry about."

"I understand that mothers are worried about children traveling thousands of miles. This is mother's love."

Zhao Shi drank the medicine, "Mother, I just want to think more."

She always thought that her son had an accident, and scared herself. Whenever she thought that her son was gone, she wanted to go with her.

Zhulan had nothing to do with Zhao's character, so she could only think about it by herself, and after a conversation with Zhao, she returned.

Zhao Shi was ill, Ming Rui didn't return to Beijing, the second room was always thinking about it, and Yudie's engagement was also postponed.

When the Zhao family sent their mother-in-law to the Liu family to pass the words, the Guo family understood that if her son had an accident, she would not be at ease if the son did not return to Beijing.

Guo Shi asked the girl to talk to her son.

Knowing the news, Liu Yuanbo pinched the material in his purse. He chose this material for Zhou Yudie, and he was waiting for the engagement to give it to Yudie.

The little servant watched the young master wilt helplessly. Since the young master knew that he was going to be engaged, anyone could see the joy of the young master.

Even if the eldest son asked him to treat him, he would endure it.

The servant comforted: "When the son of Mingrui returns to Beijing, he will be able to get married."

Liu Yuanbo, "Who knows when Zhou Mingrui will return to Beijing, hey."

Who told Zhou Mingrui to be his eldest brother? The eldest brother is not satisfied with him. Now that he is engaged, he doesn't have to face the difficulties of the eldest brother. When the eldest brother comes back, Liu Yuanbo's fingertips tremble. He can think of it, Because of his stingy temperament, the eldest brother will definitely let him spend money!

In the Ministry of Rites, Changyi received five posts. He was not from the imperial examination. The son of an aristocratic family is very arrogant.

The eldest brother is not an official, but whoever makes the family have a powerful son and a title in the future, the posts received by the eldest brother are more popular than him.

The person who received the most posts at home was Changzhi, who made Changzhi the best and most knowledgeable.

There was no smile in Changyi's eyes, and he was not happy at all. He glanced at it and put it aside.

Master Liu noticed, "Are you unhappy?"

"If my son dies, these posts will not be sent to me. These people send posts not because of me, but because of my son's ability to save the prince. The point is that my son is alive."

The son died, even if Shangguan Liu and his son rescued the son who went with him indirectly, they would not appreciate it, and they would say that his son was brave.

It's a pity that his son was transported well. Not only did he survive, but he also discovered a gold mine. If it's true, there may be a vein of mine, and his son's credit will be huge.

Lord Liu, "The capital is like this."

The relationship between the family and the family is actually very simple, and the focus is on whether it is profitable.

Changyi clicked his tongue twice, "Seriously, my father has the current power and status. Not only is he calm and self-controlled, but he also teaches our brothers not to be tempted by power. My father is really amazing."

Lord Liu, "..."

No, today instead of showing off my son, I want to show off my dad?

Two days later, the prince rushed to the capital, and the emperor called Zhou Shuren to share the good news, "After listening to Aiqing's advice, I found the golden vein."

Zhou Shuren's eyes lit up, "How much gold is there? How much gold can you dig?"

The emperor showed a smile for the first time these days. "The news that came back is that there is a large stock of ore veins, and the purity is very high. The first batch of gold stones will arrive in the capital in a few days."

Zhou Shuren turned around in joy, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, okay."

These days he lost a lot of hair for the treasury, and now he finally relieved the tension of the treasury money.

We need money to fight the war. The weather is abnormal this year, and it rains continuously in the south. There are already urgent letters to Beijing. Once the south is flooded, it will be a lot of money, not only the money, but also the loss of fertile fields in the south. .

After Zhou Shuren was happy, his smile faded a lot. He had gold, but he couldn't put it all on the market. The grain production in the south was already reduced, and a large amount of money flowed into the market, which would affect more people.

After listening to the emperor, he said: "I am happy to patronize."

These days, I hear Zhou Shuren say that the treasury has no money, and he thinks about it every day.

However, it is indeed a joy to discover the gold mine. The emperor took credit for the Zhou family's credit. The gold mine cannot be disclosed yet, and he has not forgotten the person who stole the gold mine.

Huizhou Mountain Village, after confirming the stock of gold mines, the officers and soldiers of the mountain village entered the mountain, leaving only a few people in the mountain village. All traces were quickly erased, and the prince also left the mountain village.

The mountain village regained its former calm, only waiting for the people who came to fetch the gold to be caught.

In Qizhou, Chang Lian still went to work in the yamen even though his foot was not healed. The whole reason was that the yamen was short of manpower. His vacation was canceled. There was a river break in Qizhou. The fleeing people have reached the state city.

Now that the rain is still falling, the people of Fucheng have left with their families. They are afraid that the river near the city will burst, and more people will close their homes.

Chang Lian furrowed his brows tightly. This year, the food in Qizhou was finished, so he pressed his eyebrows. Now the city is most in need of medicinal materials. There is constant heavy rain, the temporary shelter shed is leaking, and many elderly and children are sick.

Several nearby states were in danger and could not provide much medicinal materials to support Qizhou.

Chang Lian picked up a pen to write an excerpt and reported the situation in Qizhou to Beijing. After writing the excerpt, his brows did not loosen. Qizhou is far away from the capital, and a trip back and forth far water would not quench his thirst.

When the prefect returned from the inspection, his official uniform was soaked through.

Chang Lian hurriedly said, "Sir, go and change quickly, so as not to catch a cold."

The prefect was anxious. He was about to leave, but he was flooded with water. His luck was back home, and his voice was hoarse because of the fire. "This official is fine. How are your statistics?"

Chang Lian handed the counted data to the prefect, and handed over the written book, "It's all here."

The prefect sighed after seeing it, "There are some medicinal materials in this official's family, and this official takes the lead in donating the medicinal materials. Everyone should not hide them. The lives of the people are more important."

Chang Lian respects the prefect, and the prefect is a good prefect for the common people. He has seen his achievements over the years. "The lower official will send someone home to sort out the medicinal materials."

The prefect looked at Zhou Changlian with satisfaction, they had cooperated well in recent years.
