Sheng Chong and Abandoned Concubine: The Sixth Miss Doctor

Chapter 391 Don't slap your face, don't slap your face! 【superior】

"Ling'er, things have changed. As long as something happens, it is impossible to return to the original point. Beasts have opened their desires, flowers have bloomed with fragrance, and pain has ended." He raised his hand and brushed his shoulder, "Everything has changed Change, the enemy will not allow you to go back to the starting point, and I don't want to go back to the starting point. I just want to tell you, no matter what happens, don't be afraid. Unless I fall, no one can touch you."

In the deep shade of the forest, the cold wind in early spring carried the fragrance of the soil. His affectionate confession made Xu Lingyue a little dazed.

In other words, they are not such hypocritical people.

She patted Hongyu, "Let's go."

Escape again!

Ming Yi was a little annoyed, he scratched his hair, and rode his horse to follow.

It was noon that day when they arrived at the Maoliang post station, the place was already full of people, even outside the post station, many people had set up tents and thatched sheds, and it was very lively with people coming and going.

Maoliang Station is located in the northwest of the capital and belongs to Changping Prefecture of Shuntian Prefecture.

The newly discovered mine is in the Weitou Mountain to the north of the Maoliang Station, which is half a day away from the station.

Mount Waitou is not a famous mountain, and the highest peak is only about 300 meters above sea level. However, the mountain is undulating and continuous, covering a very large area.

The discovery of the mine this time was also very unexpected. When a cow herder was herding cattle in the mountains, he accidentally fell into a gap in a mountain road because of his playfulness, and only found some strange stones when he fell.

He thought about people talking about panning for gold, and thought that there might be gold in these shining stones, so he carried some back.

Every day he grazes cattle, he carries stones home, and the result is a wall.

It happened that a few Persian businessmen went to rest in the village before missing the post station, and they saw the iron ore wall.

The few Persian merchants sold it for a while, and finally attracted the attention of the merchants in the capital. Soon the secret could not be kept and became widely known.

The Great Zhou Dynasty naturally had iron mines, coal mines, gold mines, silver mines and other mines, but they were basically not near the capital.

Moreover, in the past, the Ministry of Industry sent people to investigate and never found that there were mines in Mount Tiltou. This is indeed a very surprising news. Soon the government sent officials from the Ministry of Industry to investigate. The major families in the field.

The Huo family of the empress dowager's family, the Jiang family of the empress's family, the Gao family of Qingwu Hou, and the Wuqing Boluan family all tried their best to obtain the right to operate the iron mine.

After all, mines are a profitable business. Except for gold mines, silver mines and copper mines, which are controlled by the imperial court, many of those iron mines and coal mines are managed by noble families in the capital. In addition to completing the quota of the imperial court, others can be disposed of by themselves. Whether to sell or process it yourself, as long as it does not violate the laws of the court, it all depends on the wishes of the operator.

According to the experience of previous years, there is no one who runs a mine without making a fortune.

Those who can operate mines are generally people with real power, at least they can speak in the court and participate in the competition.

Ordinary people naturally don’t have that ability, even those rich and powerful businessmen in Dazhou are generally not qualified to compete. They can only wait for the nobles to get the mining rights, and then they will bribe them, and then they can help the mining operation, so that the nobles don’t need to do anything You can get free money.

Ming Yi is just a prince who is not favored and has no real power. I'm afraid it's not so easy to get the right to operate the mine.
