Chapter 351 It's a good thing that no gold mine was discovered before
These emperors are all in mind.

He thought in his heart, one day, he would ask Yue Lingzhi to kneel down and beg him!

The empress dowager could guess some of the emperor's dark psychology from his expression.

She sighed secretly, her son is really worrying!

She didn't point him out on the spot, but reminded him earnestly what is the way to be a king.

"As the son of heaven, you must be open-minded, have great ambitions, and put your mind on the matter of living and working in peace and contentment for the people of the world. Don't forget to be a king just because of a trivial matter!"

"Mother, you have said these great truths almost a hundred times."

The emperor nodded to show that he knew, but at the same time he did not forget to complain about the empress dowager.

If he hadn't been tougher, the queen mother would have talked for half an hour.

The empress dowager knew that he wouldn't listen, she sighed again in her heart, and simply waved him back.

"Your Majesty, please go back and rest early!"

While she is still alive, while Shang Fang's sword is still in her hands, she still has to make decisions about some things.

"The emperor will send people to investigate the gold mines in Luokang Mountain tomorrow morning. If it is true that the gold mines are so big that they cannot be exploited in decades, then we must reward Lingzhi girl!"

"The meaning of Aijia is to give her a share of the gold dug up! Let the people all over the world know that the emperor is a wise king!"

How could the emperor be willing to give gold to Yue Lingzhi?

He will only be nice to those who listen to him!

But he didn't refute the empress dowager on the spot.

He was afraid of the Shangfang sword in the hands of the empress dowager.

In other words, the empress dowager has the right to abolish him.

He should be glad that the empress dowager only has his son.

The gold mine survey team sent by the imperial court soon arrived at Luokang Mountain.

Yue Lingzhi and Gu Zheng were indispensable for company.

The results of the survey were as written in Gu Zheng's letter.

Soon, the imperial court immediately sent thousands of soldiers to guard the gold mine.

Those soldiers came from the suspension bridge, passed through Luokang Mountain, crossed several mountains, and then surrounded the mine, preventing outsiders from easily entering.

The villagers in Luokang Mountain didn't know what happened, so they blocked Feng Qingyang to ask.

Feng Qingyang made up a lie.

"Suddenly the mountain on our side subsided and turned into a big lake. After the report was reported to the imperial court, the imperial court sent people to investigate and found a gold mine."

The original bandits in Luokang Mountain beat their chests and stamped their feet, saying that they had lost a lot!
They have been in the Luokang mountain nest for so long, why didn't they find that there was a gold mine there?
If they had known earlier, all of them would have become rich. Why would they need to work every day to get food?
Some people even said: "How about we go to a place that is not strictly guarded, and secretly dig for gold sand and come back to pan? It is easier than planing in the ground!"

Seeing them like this, Feng Qingyang scolded them.

"What regrets do you have? Don't you know that digging gold mines privately is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan!"

"According to me, it's a good thing that no gold mine was discovered before!"

"Otherwise, we might all be dead by now!"

The bandits argued: "Brother's words are wrong! We dug secretly, and when we dug enough, we stopped digging. Where would we be found?"

Feng Qingyang sneered: "How much is enough? People are greedy! There will never be a time to be satisfied!"

"Have you forgotten why we went to Luokang Mountain to become bandits? We were all forced to do so, either because we had no fields, no land, no strength and nowhere to go, or we were bullied so that we had nowhere to stand."

"But now we have fields and land, no one bullies us, and we can live a fair life, but are you still dissatisfied? Complain about having to work every day?"

These words made the bandits bow their heads.
