The wolf smoke started to burn.

The curling smoke and dust rolled up.

When the nearby miners and students from Xishan Academy saw it, they thought something had happened or had been attacked by the Tatars, especially Jiang Chen, who almost rushed towards the camp through mountains and rivers.

"Look, look, what is this? This is the sand, it is the sand..."

Jiang Chen's mind was buzzing.

Sands...

He looked at Deng Jian, and Deng Jian looked proud: "I found these two particles in the lake where I drew water. There were even more countless ones in the lake."

Gold...

Everyone's eyes shine.

And, there are many more...

Jiang Chen cheered up: "When people gather later, we will go and have a look immediately, come... prepare the tools..."

Jiang Chen couldn't help but be excited. This gold is a rare thing and is very valuable. Once a large amount of golden sand is discovered, how valuable it will be.

People gradually came back and learned that golden sand had been found in the lake, and they were all excited.

Deng Jian was even more proud. He told the story of his discovery of Jinsha again and again.

But... I waited for an hour, but there was still a miner and student who did not come back.

At this moment, Jiang Chen became a little anxious. Could it be that something happened?

He held the map and the compass. The nearby mountains had been drawn into maps. Before each departure, everyone would confirm their itinerary. These two people were heading to a deep mountain in the northwest. Logically speaking, they saw the wolf smoke, and it was time for them to come back after so long.

But……

"Or why, let's go to the lake first."

"Wait a little longer." Jiang Chen frowned, and he couldn't help saying, "Be careful, maybe the wolf smoke just now will be noticed by the Tatars nearby. Everyone is ready to take out the bows and arrows and swords. The water plants here are not abundant and cannot accommodate a large number of Tatar herders to settle down. Their number will not be too large.

After hearing this, everyone went to get the weapons without saying anything.

After waiting for another half an hour, two figures came hurriedly. The two men were carrying bamboo baskets on their backs, panting. When they saw Jiang Chen and others from afar, they shouted: "Look, look, what is this..."

Everyone went up and the two of them had already taken out the ore from the basket: "Look, what is this..."

This stone, unlike ordinary stones, the experienced old miners immediately saw the strangeness.

But everyone dared not confirm it, an old miner said, "Hurry, burn charcoal immediately to get the fire and find an iron pot.

Everyone set up a bonfire, then searched for an iron pot, threw the ore in. After a while, the yellow water slowly flowed out, and someone shouted: "This is copper, brass, and high-quality brass..."

Jiang Chen's excited face turned blue.

There is gold and copper!

Any of these two things can be exchanged for silver at any time when they are picked up in the pass.

Moreover, my mentor also said that there is coal, silver, and even iron ore here...

This... is a treasure house.

In the future, how many people will extract ores here, and then, people dig out coal and then use coal to smel countless ores. In the end, countless high-quality copper, gold, silver, and iron will be transported out of this mountain.

There is so much wealth hidden everywhere in these countless mountains.

"Immediately... prepare a book for your teacher, hurry up!" Jiang Chen's excited voice trembled.

"The rest of the people will continue to look for mineral veins tomorrow. All mineral veins must be confirmed and then marked. We must have our footprints in the nearby mountains and every place. First, we must understand the terrain and terrain here clearly. At this time, we must keep it confidential for the time being. Even when we go to Lanzhou to buy grain, we must not disclose it. Everything depends on the instructions of our mentor."

Everyone was extremely excited and looked at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen continued: "Don't worry, there is wealth here. You are looking for mineral veins for your mentor. In the future, your mentor will never treat you badly."

Joy had already filled the camp.

Deng Jian's face turned red with joy.

He realized that the young master was not trying to send him away, but that he really had a difficult task for him to do. It seemed that he was not annoying. He just didn't know if the young master agreed to my wife, whether it was a calculation or not. If there were no seven, two would be able to do it.

………………………………………

The situation in Jiaozhi became increasingly tense, and some small-scale rebellions had begun, but... Fang Jinglong was in charge of Shenglong, and these rebellions were not worth mentioning.

But this is still worrying.

Therefore, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao were still ordered to enter the warm-up pavilion.

In the warm pavilion, many ministers whispered, Emperor Hongzhi was promoted to the throne, and the ministers were polite.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the ministers and picked up a memorial: "You guys have read these memorials. A few days ago, a man who pretended to be the Annan royal family raised troops to rebel and gathered hundreds of people. Fortunately, he was suppressed in time. The most hateful thing is that among the people involved, there were three Jiaozhi scholars."

Speaking of this, Zhang Sheng's face looked very bad.

If it is just an ordinary foolish rebellion, it would be a good idea, because they are unlikely to have a climate. But if scholars join, these scholars often have deep-rooted local involvement, and they are often more strategic and can easily strengthen the rebels.

"Jiaozhi has always been like this. Your Majesty, don't worry, just let Pingxi Hou be more careful."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head: "The fundamental problem of Jiaozhi lies in the scholars' disinterest and virtues. If they refuse to rely on them sincerely, sooner or later...ah..."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed.

Emperor Hongzhi said with a cold face again: "What's even more terrible is that before the uprising, these traitors actually surrounded the former residence of Ruan Wen, the loyal and brave minister of the Ming Dynasty, captured Ruan Wen's family, killed Ruan Wen's son, and a concubine of Ruan Wen, who was known as Ruan Wen's dog, and was a scum of Annan Kingdom. They also burned Ruan Wen's residence. All the nobles and the Ruan Qing family gave advice and made so many contributions to our Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the court gave him rewards and glorified his hometown. However... these damn traitors actually killed the loyal and kindness of our Ming Dynasty, Wu Aiqing, and Ruan Qing's family are fine now."

Ruan Wen was searched...

Fang Jifan looked confused, "Damn, these damn traitors are indeed so arrogant."

Ruan Wen was an envoy of Annan. After Annan destroyed the country, Emperor Hongzhi believed that he had made great contributions to the court, so he left him in the capital and held an official position. However, he was a foreigner after all. As an envoy, he was stationed in Honglu Temple. Now he has no other place to settle down, so he still lives in Honglu Temple for the time being.

The person Emperor Hongzhi asked about was Wu Shuqing, the Minister of the Honglu Temple.

After hearing this, Wu Shuqing hurriedly said, "Report to Your Majesty, Ruan Wen also heard bad news when he came. He heard that the traitor had confiscated his hometown and killed his son and concubine. The rest of his family members were unknown. After vomiting half a liter of blood, he fainted. Now, he has asked the doctor to treat him. I think there will be no serious problem."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh, and then his eyes fell on Fang Jifan: "Jifan, what do you think about this?"

Fang Jifan had been holding it in for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Ruan Wen made a huge sacrifice for our Ming Dynasty.

Thinking about it now, those traitors regarded Ruan Wen as a traitor and killed his whole family first... It seems that there is a certain reason.

Fang Jifan cried with a sad face: "I am very sad, heartbroken. Ruan Wen is loyal and brave. He is loyal and brave. He never expected that the rebels are so crazy. I... I feel heartbroken and painful. I am so painful that I am so sad. I feel like a knife. I think that I should immediately be in Beijing to set up a tomb for Ruan Wen's family and order people to sacrifice. At the same time, Your Majesty should issue an edict to commend Ruan Wen's whole family. This is a loyal and wise man. Your Majesty... My Ming Dynasty is in Jiaozhi. The more loyal ministers there are, how can I worry about this mere rebellion?"

“…”

In the warm pavilion, there was an unusual silence.

In fact, many people know what happened.

To be honest, Fang Jifan... is really dark enough.

But it seems that the only thing that people hacked Jiaozhi people, what can they say?

Fang Jifan said again: "I have also heard that Ruan Wen is a large clan of Jiaozhi. His family is lush in Jiaozhi. This time, the Ruan family in Jiaozhi has suffered such a family change. Your Majesty should order Ruan Wen to go back to Jiaozhi and let him serve the Ming Dynasty and serve the country. Under the mercy, the people of Jiaozhi and expose the rebellion. If such a loyal person is not used by the Ming Dynasty, who else can he use?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded.

The family business of more than ten generations was burned by the rebels. It is said that even his ancestors were killed, the rebels who opened coffins and killed corpses, their sons were killed, and their concubines were gone. Are you still afraid that he would not be loyal to the Ming Dynasty?

This person is familiar with the details of Jiaozhi. He is still very connected in Jiaozhi. After all, he is from a big family. Maybe... he has some effect when he wants to go to Jiaozhi.

"Since that's the case, Ouyang Qing's family, you are responsible for drafting the edict." Emperor Hongzhi looked at Ouyang Zhi.

Ouyang Zhi was silent for a moment and said, "What kind of imperial edict do Your Majesty want to draw?"

"I commend Ruan Wen's loyalty and righteousness and loyalty of the Ruan family, so that the soldiers, civilians and people in the world know the feats of their entire clan. In addition, I ordered Ruan Wen to be the envoy of Jiaozhi. After he was safe, I immediately rushed to Jiaozhi to take office, specializing in the prison affairs, and arrest the traitors and rebels."

"I... obey the order."

Fang Jifan couldn't help but sigh at this time: "It's really not easy for Ruan Wen. He is afraid that few people in the world can do his loyalty to me, Ming Dynasty."

The ministers held their faces, and finally someone nodded and responded, "Yes, yes, such loyalty and righteousness are rare in the world."

"Who is the good guy!" Zhu Houzhao laughed and saw that many people were looking over, he hurriedly expressed his feelings with a stern face.
