Chapter 249
Cui Yuexi was worried about asking, she knew that Li Jing had been busy in the mansion recently because of the affairs of the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom.

What's more, the gold mine has already been mined, and there are more things that need him to take care of.

Not only did Li Jing miss Cui Yuexi, even Cui Yuexi missed him very much, but girls are thin-skinned after all, so they are embarrassed to say it.

"Let's go, I'll take you for a walk." Li Jing took Cui Yuexi's hand and left. Brother Ye and Sister Rong looked at their backs, smiled at each other, and continued to play with Banana's people.

Li Jing took Cui Yuexi straight to Jingting Mountain. Since the discovery of the gold mine, Li Jing hired ordinary people from Kyoto to go up the mountain to mine.

Paying them wages every day, the common people worked extremely hard, and the mining of gold mines was in full swing.

"What did you bring me here for?"

I thought Li Jing would take her to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but I didn't expect to come here.

Cui Yuexi looked at the busy people and everyone's sweaty appearance, and couldn't help feeling emotional.

"I don't know how long it will take to mine the entire mine?"

As far as the current state of manpower is concerned, it may take a long time. People are mining on one side, and people on the other side are starting to smelt.

After all, he wanted to make a golden daughter, and Li Jing handed over these matters to the Duke Yun's government to handle them.

Duke Yun's previous job was to cast gold and silver and other circulating silver, and this matter was entrusted to Duke Yun's mansion to find the right person.

Cui Yuexi couldn't see through Li Jing, so Li Jing took her to the tea room where she was resting and sat down, and poured tea for her. Cui Yuexi saw that it required labor to carry the baskets down one by one, which was a waste of time and money, and was not efficient.

Cui Yuexi frowned and thought, trying to find a suitable way to increase the efficiency of transportation.

Li Jing looked at her in a daze, smiled and took her hand.

"Why, you're distracted when you're with me."

Cui Yuexi shook her head, "No, I was thinking about how to increase efficiency so that people are not so tired."

Cui Yuexi walked to the side of the mountain road and observed carefully, from the place where the gold mine was discovered to the place where there were three turns at the foot of the mountain.

She suddenly had an idea in her mind, and then smiled and looked at Li Jing.

"I have a solution."

Cui Yuexi's eyes sparkled brightly, and she spoke excitedly.

"Listen to me, the mountain of Jingting Mountain is not very steep. In order to ensure safety, this road is specially used for people walking up and down."

Cui Yuexi said, pulling Li Jing to the side of the road, and began to tell Li Jing her plan.

What she means is to dig a small ditch about a foot deep that is similar to a drainage ditch on the side of the repaired stone steps leading straight to the foot of the mountain, and put an arc-shaped cover on it with thick wood, and the people on the mountain will When the gold ore is thrown into the ditch, the ore will automatically roll down according to the mountain situation.

The exit at the foot of the mountain is a movable exit, and three or four pits are set up below to accept ore. When the exit faces one of the pits, the people can transport the ore in other pits.

Li Jing's eyes lit up when he heard her words.

Although it is only a prototype, Li Jing has already thought up a more detailed plan.

"Yuexi, you are really my lucky star, but you have helped me a lot."

In this way, most of the manpower is concentrated on collecting and transporting ore, which greatly saves time. Considering the falling speed of ore, the wooden arc-shaped cover completely avoids the scene of ore splashing in all directions.

A few more pits set up below can also ensure the safety of the people.

"I'm just talking about it. You have to arrange the details. Mining is not something that happens overnight. After all, human physical strength is limited. After a long period of time, no one can bear it.

Now that the matter of transporting ore down the mountain has been solved, a lot of manpower has been saved.

"How are you so smart?"

Li Jing calculated that from the entrance of the gold mine to the foot of the mountain, if a ditch was built, it would only be fifty or sixty palms away. It was only the winding road up the mountain that made the journey seem so long.

Fifty or sixty feet is not a very long distance. The so-called sharpening the knife does not miss the woodcutter. If the transportation ditch is repaired, it will soon be able to catch up with the progress, but the efficiency will be improved later.

"I just feel distressed seeing their sweaty faces. No matter their status is high or low, they are all raised by their fathers and mothers. Even if they are exhausted, they are also citizens of Dayuan."

Li Jing took Cui Yuexi's hand and put it on his lips to kiss, "You have really solved my problem. Make the gold that Haoyue Kingdom needs as soon as possible, and send the Prince of Haoyue Kingdom away quickly, so that the capital can restore peace."

Right now, the Crown Prince of Haoyue Kingdom is like a hot potato, the longer he stays in the capital, the more unfavorable it will be.

Li Jing asked Xingchuan to find a carpenter to make it, and Li Jing took Cui Yuexi to stay on the mountain for a while before leaving.

Li Jing still had something to do, so he sent Cui Yuexi back to Duke Liu's mansion.

She wanted to share Li Jing's worries and thought about how to speed up the construction period. She sat in the courtyard and tried to recall the memories of her previous life. At that time, the emperor decreed that it was transported in the traditional way. Many people collapsed due to fatigue and finally complained. .

Right now, the matter of mining the mine is left to Li Jing, and she will definitely not let such a thing happen.

She suddenly thought of a problem, instead of transporting the ore to the place responsible for casting gold and silver, it is better to lift the refining furnace used to the bottom of the mountain, so that it can be smelted nearby to save time and convenience.

Cui Yuexi asked Li Jing to arrange for her guard, Chun Yu, to inform Li Jing of her plan, and Chun Yu flew away.

He came back not long after, and looked at Cui Yuexi with a smile to report.

"Girl, you and the master really have a good understanding. When the subordinates found the master, he had already arranged for people to enclose the land at the foot of the mountain to prepare for the construction.

Cui Yuexi blushed, no matter what, it would be good if she helped Li Jing.

Today Li Jing took her to climb up. She was really tired, so she went back to the room to rest.

When Li Jing came back, Cui Yuexi hadn't woken up yet. He sat down beside the bed, looked at her peaceful sleeping face, with a faint smile on his lips.

The feeling that someone can help is really good. In the past, Li Jing didn't need anyone's help to do things, but after Cui Yuexi helped him several times, he realized that it feels really good that someone always misses and thinks about him. .

"Yuexi, you are so kind, how can I repay you."

Li Jing held her hand, Cui Yuexi woke up leisurely, and upon hearing his words, a calculated smile rose from the corner of her lips.

"Why don't you make a promise with your body?" Cui Yuexi was just teasing, but she saw Li Jing looking at her with deep eyes.

"it is good!"

He readily agreed, his eyes were full of depression, Cui Yuexi knew that he had caused trouble, so he sat up hastily, pulled his shoes and ran out.

Li Jing looked at her timid appearance and sighed helplessly.

He intended to devote himself, but was rejected by Cui Yuexi, so helpless.

Cui Yuexi's cheeks were burning hot when she thought of Li Jing's gaze!
