Liu Yi had to admire his character.

The abandoned Gaogang in Tuyi Village is indeed an open-pit coal mine.

Without a trace of impurities, the layer of mixed yellow and black soil that was covered outside was opened. Just the layer of attractive black exposed on the surface made Liu Yi feel excited and surging. It was about ten meters higher than elsewhere, stretching all the way, covering an area of ​​about fifty hectares. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a coal mountain.

Wearing a straw raincoat and bathing in the rain, Liu Yi-Ying stood quietly on this coal mountain, and watching the endless high hill. The coal exposed on the surface alone was tens of millions of kilograms. If you guessed correctly, there should be some buried in the deep underground layer.

Although in the 21st century, I have never heard of any large coal mines near Chang'an, and even smaller ones, it does not mean that it does not exist. If Liu Yi stepped on the coal mountain under his feet, such a exposed coal mine, it would be a miracle if it could be preserved until the 21st century.

"Wuchen, go to another place to find out if there are any other places like this. Well, forget it. It is enough for our Liu Mansion to have this place." People are not satisfied with their hearts. When doing things, they must be responsible and understand contentment. If they are too greedy, Liu Youhuan couldn't help but think of the "Liu Family Lifang" that was requisitioned by the court several times. If they take up too much, people will be jealous.

Liu Yiu couldn't help but put away the area that had just risen in his heart, and wanted to monopolize the coal mines across the country. This kind of ambition would not be allowed, especially in this feudal society without human rights. Not to mention others, Li Shimin, the stingy wise ruler, would not let him go.

Although this coal mine is not very big, it is enough to make their Liu family proud for decades. Well, that's enough. Be content with being a person.

"Okay, let's go to the village to visit the village main building in Tuyi Village. This area of ​​Gaogang, our Liu Mansion is bound to win!" Liu Yiu shook the soil stained on his feet, took Liu Wuchen, and then went down the high slope and walked towards Tuyi Village.

Liu Wuchen used to be a villager here and was very familiar with it. He led the way, and the master and servant soon dripped in rain and arrived at the home of Hongtong, the village in Tuyi Village.

An old man in his fifties, with a white hair and beard, and hunched over. He is a serious farmer. Of course, he also has some shrewdness in his bones that other farmers do not have.

"Isn't this the eldest son of the Liu family? When did you come back?" Hong Tong opened the door and saw Liu Wuchen and Liu Yi standing outside the door, he enthusiastically asked them to the house. Looking at Liu Yi, he asked Liu Wuchen, "This young man is so nervous, I don't know what to call him?"

"Hongcunzheng is polite. This is our young master, Liu Yi," Liu Wuchen took off his straw raincoat, and waited for Liu Yi and took off his strawcoat. He introduced to Hong Tong softly: "We have just arrived in the village and came to visit Hongcunzheng in a special way."

"You are polite," Liu Yiuan also bowed his hand to Hong Tong to perform a meeting ceremony, and looked up and down at the decorations in the room, half-old tables and chairs, some cracked teapots, and the pile of millets that had nearly half of the room, making the whole room feel a special tide smell.

"Liu Yi?" Hong Tong looked up and down at Liu Yi, and asked uncertainly: "But the one from Gutian Village?"

"Uh, it's just that, why? Hongcun knew Liu?" Liu Yi was suddenly surprised and asked Hong Tong softly.

"It's really Mr. Liu! Hurry up, Mr. Liu please come and sit down!" Hong Tong suddenly became even more enthusiastic, pulled Liu Yi and sat at the head with him, looking at Liu Yi and said, "I have heard that Mr. Liu is not as old as the young and promising young people. When I see him today, I am extraordinary. The old man is really lucky in his life, haha..."

"Hongcun is so serious," Liu Yiu was really uncomfortable with being praised by the old man.

"Did Mr. Liu see it?" Hong Tong pointed to the millet piled up in baskets or bags of millet piled up in their main hall and said to Liu You gratefully: "These millets are all gifts from Mr. Liu. If it weren't for the 'Liu water truck' that Mr. Liu had made before, it would not have been harmed by this heavy rain. The crops in the fields would have died of drought and had no harvest. Then it would not be as simple as hunger. Therefore, it can be said that Mr. Liu is the benefactor of our farmers. Not only this time, but also in the future, you gave us farmers a magic weapon to fight drought. Not only the 'Liu water truck', but also the 'Liu Plough' and 'Liu Fat House', are all excellent things."

The old man was a little excited. His beard was raised and his face turned a little flushed when he spoke.

It turned out that it was for those farm tools. Liu Yiuan suddenly realized it, so he waved his hand and said to Hong Tong: "Some strange tricks can help, which is Liu's honor. Hongcunzheng should not mention it again. Today, Wuchen and I came to visit Hongcunzheng. I really want to ask Hongcunzheng for help. I also ask Hongcunzheng to help."

"Oh? Mr. Liu, please tell me. If you can help, the old man will definitely not refuse." Hong Tong glanced at Liu Yi and said to Liu Yi very firmly.

"Haha, then thank you Hongcun Zheng," Liu Yi chuckled and called out to Hong Tong, saying, "Actually, there is nothing big. It's just that Liu is quite interested in the abandoned land under Tuyi Village. He came up with some money to buy it. I wonder if Hongcun Zheng can make it convenient?"

"That wasteland?" Hong Tong was stunned and asked Liu Yi softly: "The land does not grow any grass, and the black soil is buried under it with some black and hard stones. It is useless. What does Mr. Liu buy it for?"

Is there a lot of money to buy a piece of wasteland for no reason? Is it because I have no money to spend? A prodigal son? He glanced at Liu Yiyi, and Hong Tong shook his head deniably, but a trace of doubt arose in his heart.

"Haha, Liu is not convenient to inform him of the reason now. Please forgive me," Liu Yiuan chuckled apologetically at Hong Tong and said, "I wonder if Lord Jun Zheng can make the decision and sell the wasteland to Liu?"

"This," Hong Tong said to Liu Yiu hesitantly: "Mr. Liu, although no one wants that wasteland, it is still the land of Tuyi Village. It is not from the village. The old man has no right to allocate them, so he is afraid he will not be able to help Mr. Liu."

"But if Mr. Liu really wants to buy it, he might as well go to the county magistrate to find the county magistrate. The county magistrate should have the right to decide the ownership of the land." Although he had no choice, Hong Tong kindly made a suggestion to Liu Yiu.

"That's it," after hearing Hong Tong's words, Liu Yiu's eyes couldn't help but look at Liu Wuchen beside him, and then asked Hong Tong softly: "Isn't Wuchen a villager here before? If he can buy it, I wonder if it's feasible?"

"This," Hong Tong looked up at Liu Wuchen, and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Young Master," Liu Wuchen interrupted, "Wuchen no longer has a household registration and cannot be considered a villager in Tuyi Village, so,"

Well, Liu Yiuan then remembered that Liu Wuchen had been in prison and committed a case, but he really lost the right to allocate land. He then looked at Liu Wuchen apologetically.

Anyway, it is not difficult to find Gongsun Hannan. At most, it is just to travel more roads. Liu Yiu stood up, bowed his hand to say goodbye to Hongtong, and then put on a straw raincoat and led Liu Wuchen to Sanyuan County in a carriage.

Gongsun Han was still away as usual. As time went by, the rain became more and more abundant, and the water accumulation in each village became more and more serious. The millet became moldy and the houses were leaking. The villagers in many places began to accumulate some rain in their houses. Gongsun Hannan, the county magistrate, became busier and busier. Many times, they didn't even have time to eat a meal at home.

When Liu Yi and the others arrived at Sanyuan County Government, Gongsun Hannan led a few officers to inspect several villages east of the city, so Liu Yi and the others did not touch each other.

However, from the words of the Lord Bo who received them, Liu Yiu also learned about the difficulties Gongsun Han is facing now.

There is no firewood available and no water to drink. Now, some of the villagers in the county have even become a problem for cooking.

This is indeed a difficult problem, but for Liu Yi, it is another rare opportunity.

It’s raining heavily around, and it’s not just the Three Yuans and One Land?

"I'm sorry, Lord Bo, sends someone to find Gongsun County Magistrate. The little people have a good recipe here to solve the current people of the Three Origins." Liu Yiuan bowed his hand and said softly to the Lord Bo, who was named Chen Lan in front of him.

"Mr. Liu's words are serious?" Chen Lan glanced at Liu Yiyi, confirmed that Liu Yiyi was not joking, and suddenly sat up from the chair, shouting at the service officer guarding the door, saying, "A Zhong, go and find the county magistrate quickly, and say that Mr. Liu has a good plan, which can solve the worries in the county magistrate's heart!"

Although Chen Lan is only a 19th rank young official and does not usually take charge of many affairs, he still knows something about Liu Yiu-kun. After all, it is rare to see a civilian who can defeat the Minister of War.
