Divine Doctor's Daughter: Black-bellied Crown Princess

Chapter 383 Strange Town
In fact, the Huns are not that powerful at all, but the key issue is that even if the Huns are really not that powerful, the Huns are nomadic on the grasslands, and the terrain of the grasslands is complicated. If there is no Huns to lead the way, the imperial army will soon enter It may not be possible to get out at all, so the empire never thought of going directly to the grassland to fight the Huns.

But if you don't take the initiative to find the Huns, then you can only passively defend in winter.

But the few cities in the north are actually not so easy to defend, and the Huns are good at guerrilla warfare, so the empire will not be able to find a way to completely relieve this trouble for a while.

In addition, this time the Xiongnu came aggressively, obviously it was not just the Xiongnu, there were other forces behind it, the emperor also asked Chen Lingcheng to inquire about the news out of various considerations.

Now, Chen Lingcheng is indeed the best candidate.

Everyone knows that the eighth prince is disabled and can't walk at all, so they wouldn't think of him traveling all the way to find out the news, right?
Another half-day journey.

When it was getting dark, Chen Lingcheng let them rest.

Feng Ziyu felt that Chen Lingcheng seemed to have discovered something, so she didn't say anything, and followed Chen Lingcheng and got off the horse in silence.

They have now left the barren mountains and mountains and came to a city.

The location of this city is relatively good, surrounded by mountains, this place is like an existence surrounded by mountains in the hinterland.

It looks not only safe, but also rich in supplies.

It is said that relying on mountains to eat mountains depends on water to drink water. This place is surrounded by mountains, and the supplies are indeed abundant to a certain extent.

Feng Ziyu walked all the way, and saw that these people had a lot of iron objects.

Feng Ziyu frowned.

In addition to ironware, there are also some copperware hanging on the door of these people's houses.

Feng Ziyu couldn't help pulling Chu Lingcheng's sleeve.

Chen Lingcheng felt a little obstruction, and turned his head to look over.

"Are we staying here tonight?" Feng Ziyu asked with a smile.

Chen Lingcheng frowned, and asked, "Do you want to live here?"

Although the people around could see that they should be foreigners, but because Feng Ziyu and the others had dressed up a bit before, they looked like young masters and young ladies who came here to play, so they didn't attract everyone's attention .

Feng Ziyu nodded with a smile: "Yes, I think this place is not bad, why don't we stay here for one night today?"

A deep thought flashed across Chen Lingcheng's eyes, he nodded and said, "Since you want to live here, then live here."

As soon as Chen Lingcheng's voice fell, the waiter at the inn who had been staring at them from just now hurried over: "Are the four guest officials going to stay at the inn? Please come here, our inn is the best in the whole town." the inn."

Chen Lingcheng glanced at Feng Ziyu, nodded, and said, "Are you sure it's the best? My wife is very picky. If the environment is not good, she will lose her temper."

Xiao Er looked at Feng Ziyu cautiously, and said with a smile: "No, no, don't worry, it is definitely the best inn in our area, and we will never lie."

Feng Ziyu then smiled and said: "Okay, then let's see how good it is."

Several people walked in one after another. The environment of this inn is indeed good, and because it is a bit close to the capital, it seems to have some style of the capital.

Feng Ziyu and the others directly asked to stay above. Not long after Feng Ziyu sat down in the room, Qing Hong and Mo Qing came back.

"Miss, it's not just this inn, every household in this place has those things."

Chen Lingcheng happened to come in from the outside, and asked, "What is it?"

Feng Ziyu glanced at him, and her eyes signaled him to close the door before talking.

Chen Lingcheng closed the door, and the three of them surrounded him.

Feng Ziyu lowered her voice and said, "I don't think this place is right."

Chen Lingcheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Feng Ziyu expressed her doubts.

Ever since entering this city, Feng Ziyu has always felt very why, this kind of why is not an ordinary violation.

After all, Feng Ziyu actually drove by at the beginning. At that time, she was driving all the way from the countryside to the capital. Although Feng Ziyu said that she was in a hurry, she also stopped to eat and rest. At that time, she also carefully observed what other places looked like. of.

The closer you are to the capital, the closer the style of the nearby towns will be to the capital.

This town is no exception.

But there is one thing that makes people feel very curious.

"What's the matter?" Chen Lingcheng asked curiously.

Feng Ziyu said: "There are too many bronze wares here."

Chen Lingcheng didn't speak.

Mo Qing continued, "Bronzeware? These things are useless."

Mo Qing also went to the battlefield with Chen Lingcheng before, so he naturally knew how to get those weapons and the like, and Mo Qing also went to see it himself.

Although copper ware can be used as weapons if it is well made, the production process is very cumbersome, and it was simply forgotten later.

Iron is an important material for making weapons today.

Feng Ziyu said, "No, although it is true that bronze is not the best material for making weapons, you have overlooked one thing."

"whats the matter?"

Feng Ziyu said: "In such a small town, why are there so many bronze wares?"

Everyone was shocked. At this time, they finally realized that they had forgotten too many things.

Bronze wares in the capital are things that the upper-class young masters and ladies don't like to play with. Everyone likes silver and gold.

Since this is the case, the problem is obvious. Bronze wares are common in the capital, because people in the upper class don't like them, and people in the lower class can only afford copper wares, so it is generally normal.

But why is it common here?
Bronze wares are neither a status symbol nor something easy to find. Why do every household here have them?
"As far as I know, the reason why the Feng family in Fengxiang Town is so rich is because they own a mine."

Feng Ziyu said with serious eyes: "I don't know what kind of mines are produced in the mine, but what I can know is that there must be mines in this place."

"And there is a high probability that it is iron ore and copper ore."

Mo Qing was shocked: "But there is no record that this is a mine... and there are no officials stationed here."

Generally, where there are mines, there will be people from the imperial court here.

One is to make sure that all the mines are turned over to the state treasury after they are mined, and the other is to protect the mines from being snatched by some gangsters.

But now there are no people from the imperial court here...

Mo Qing's eyes widened: "Someone is mining privately here?!"
