Chapter 308: The wolves are here
Chapter 308 The wolves are here
Sheng Huaixuan smiled, "Probably possible, Master Yu has a lot of experience and has a fixed caravan base in southern Xinjiang, so he understands the nature of the local people, and in a short period of time, he can convene some local people in southern Xinjiang to be responsible for excavation. Mine, when Master Yu announces the need for mining in the Central Plains, many Central Plains people will take the initiative to come to the Southern Border for the sake of rich wages, and the government only needs to send people to guard and maintain order."
Bai Wutong knew that Sheng Huaixuan would definitely have a solution, "Everyone will take the initiative to come to southern Xinjiang to mine, and there will be more people from the Central Plains in southern Xinjiang, and cultures will continue to converge, and southern Xinjiang will be able to completely integrate into Ling Kingdom, and Emperor Ling Hui must be happy to see it. "
Sheng Huaixuan nodded, "However, according to the old rules, even if the mining rights of the ore vein are to be handed over, the merchants need to bid against each other, and there are many princes and nobles who want a share of the pie."
The princes and nobles wanted to be in charge of the mines, obviously for the purpose of enriching their own pockets. If Emperor Ling Hui had any brains, he would not hand it over to them.
Emperor Ling Hui couldn't cultivate talents in this field by himself. Cooperation with merchants is a win-win situation.
Otherwise, forcibly calling others will not give benefits, even if it is hindered by imperial power, it will only be perfunctory.
If the mining rights are handed over to the merchants, in order to consolidate their advantages in front of the emperor, the merchants will continue to work hard to operate the jade shop, carry it forward, and develop a high degree of culture, which will lead to various exquisite jade articles, showing the scene of a prosperous and prosperous age.
Bai Wutong smiled and said, "They definitely don't have the advantage of Master Yu in their bidding. After all, the largest caravan in the entire southern border belongs to Master Yu. The matter is urgent, I think Master You will definitely hand over the jade mine to Master Yu. "
Sheng Huaixuan smiled, "I hope so."
Not long after Bai Wutong's words, You Huaijie sent someone to find Yu Suisheng and indicated that he wanted to hand over the jade mine to him.
You Huaijie is the Governor of Southern Xinjiang, so he still has some rights. Besides, there is really no better candidate than Yu Suisheng. Even if he reports to Emperor Ling Hui, he will not be able to pick out his faults.
Yu Suisheng was cultivated by Sheng Huaixuan, but he had not yet independently controlled the Tianjia ore vein. He excitedly said to You Huaijie, "Sir, the villain must live up to expectations!"
You Huaijie nodded, and discussed with Yu Suisheng carefully.
Yu Suisheng decided to stay here to deal with the ore veins first, and then go to the southern border to find Bai Wutong and the others after everything is done.
The jade mine has been properly handled. Don't worry in the future, there will be an extra huge amount of income for the construction of the southern border. Bai Wutong is very happy and looks forward to everything in the southern border.
The team set off, and Feng Xun and Feng Yue waited and waited until You Huaijie came to them.
After walking on foot for more than an hour, there was no drop of water and no particles in it. The brothers and sisters were so hungry that they beat drums in protest.
They walked too slowly, and the officers and soldiers hit Feng Yue on the back with a whip.
Fengyue screamed and sat down on the ground with her buttocks on the ground. She looked like she was in a state of embarrassment, and she didn't even look like a princess.
Feng Xun finally understood that even if they knew about the ore veins, You Huaijie would not let them go.
Since that's the case, it's better to tell them and make things better for yourself and your sister.
Fengxun shouted: "Call you adults and tell him, I agree to tell him where the ore veins are."
After a while, they didn't wait for You Huaijie, they just waited for a word from the officers and soldiers, "Sir, let me tell you, the mine is ahead."
Feng Xun and Feng Yue glanced at each other, then looked forward again, the huge and majestic Shengming Mountain appeared in their sight.
You Huaijie actually knew it.
Feng Xun rolled his eyes and shouted loudly: "Even if you know it, you people in the Central Plains are not familiar with the terrain, and you will never be able to pick stones."
Feng Xun is telling the truth.
Shengmingshan Mountain is dangerous, mining ore is tantamount to tying one's life to the belt of one's pants.
This is also the reason why their tribe didn't sell it, knowing that some people from the Central Plains liked this beautiful stone here.
One is the long distance and expensive transportation, and the other is the difficulty of mining.
But he didn't know that the people in the Central Plains like jade, and Yu Suisheng already had a very perfect way of mining and transporting jade.
As long as this method is carried out in the dark, even in the most difficult and dangerous mining environment, jade materials can be successfully harvested.
The officers and soldiers ignored them again, and Feng Xun and Fengyue did not get any food or water until the team camped at night.
At this time, they realized how happy it was to have dry food lumps before.
started from the dark river and walked for another day. When it was getting dark, they faintly saw a green grass.
After seeing the endless desert, everyone thought they were dazzled.
Xiao Baizi sprinted out and rolled on the grass, and everyone was sure that they had walked out of the desert.
Xiaobai also lost weight along the way, raised his head and howled, his vigorous posture was very cool.
Bai Wutong was very satisfied with Xiaobai's weight loss results, and smiled: "I don't know, can Xiaobai find a girlfriend here."
Most of the tribes in the southern border worship wolves, and there must be wolves here, but they have traveled all the way and have never encountered a wolf.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a long howl from the hills in the distance.
In an instant, everyone looked in that direction, and soon, they saw more than 20 small black spots on the hill.
Aunt Yang shouted in surprise, "Wolf pack?"
Xiaobai was raised by Bai Wutong, and he can't bite people, but wolves in the wild are extremely ferocious and hard to tame, and many people in the team screamed in horror, "The wolves are here! The wolves are here! Run! ”
Parents hugged their children tightly in fear.
Some people even complained in a low voice that it was Bai Wutong who raised wolves to attract the wolves.
But most people are still very calm, there are so many of them, as long as they are careful, the wolves will definitely not hurt anyone in their team.
Xiaobai heard a wolf responding to it for the first time, and ran towards the hills with vigorous steps like the wind.
Xiaobai ran towards the wolves, as if he would never come back, Bai Wutong felt his heart twitch, and couldn't help but shout, "Xiaobai."
Xiaobai heard the call of Bai Wutong, turned around and ran towards her, and the wolves on the hill also disappeared.
Xiaobai looked back and saw that the wolves were gone, his ice blue eyes flashed with disappointment.
Bai Wutong has always wondered if Xiaobai will return to nature one day, but the sudden arrival of this day made her unable to accept it for a while.
She was mentally prepared now, Bai Wutong patted its head, although she was reluctant to say: "You can still catch up if you catch up now, go ahead."
Xiaobai noticed the sadness in Bai Wutong's eyes and stayed at her feet.
Bai Wutong was both happy that Xiaobai couldn't bear them, but also sad that Xiaobai lost the chance to be with his family.
Chu Tianbao glanced at Xiaobai who was rolling on his stomach and comforted Bai Wutong, "It is contaminated with human breath, the wolves may not be able to accept it, and Xiaobai may not be able to adapt to life in the wild."
Bai Wutong sighed, "Yes."
She has seen enough documentaries. If wolves raised by humans want to reintegrate into the wolf pack, they are often bitten and driven away, and may even lose their lives.
