Chapter 237: I wonder if the melons in Huadu taste good
Tian Xiwen chased the person who threw the dart, and Deng Hongyu also followed him.
Tian Xiaoxiao acted as an interrogator and continued to ask questions.
"We, we are the people of Wang Maocai, the prefect of Huadu, and we are here to help transport the copper ore."
"Hmm? Copper mine? Are you sure?"
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, aren't these people here to transport fake money? They won't tell the truth even when they are about to die.]
Daju: [What they said is true, they are here to transport copper ore.]
"My lady, Lord Wang said that all the copper ore must be transported to Mingzhou and handed over to Prince Yu, who will use it to forge weapons."
Nangong Rui thought: As expected, there was a gain, and I dug out another thing.
"Who do you usually contact? How do you transport the copper ore? How often do you do it?"
"The transportation of the copper ore to Prince Yu is a recent matter. We are only responsible for transporting the copper ore to the dock, and someone will pick it up. The copper ore is transported once every fifteen days, and 20,000 kilograms are transported each time."
One of them, who looked like the leader, answered.
Tian Xiaoxiao calculated quickly in her mind.
The weight unit of the Mingning Kingdom is almost the same as the modern weight unit, which is ten tons of copper, and ten tons of copper is only a little over a cubic meter.
However, how could these few people transport ten tons of copper?
The production capacity of this copper mine does not seem that simple.
Nangong Yu took away a part of it, and the remaining copper was made into copper coins.
However, Tian Xiaoxiao thought about the many miners in her bracelet and it made sense.
"Your Highness, can you let me see the process of making counterfeit money?"
When the captured people heard the title of "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince", they fainted.
This is really a dead end.
Nangong Rui handed a booklet to Tian Xiaoxiao.
Tian Xiaoxiao muttered:
"This is similar to the method we used to make counterfeit money in ancient times. They used red copper, calamine, and carbon powder to refine copper that looked like gold and used it to impersonate gold."
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, these people not only made copper coins, but also made fake gold. I wonder how much profit they made from this!]
Daju: [If we find their gold and put it into the national treasury, won't Nangong Rui be rich again? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Yes.]
Daju: [These corrupt officials are really smart! They can even fake gold.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Smart people can make something fake look real.]
Daju: [Now it feels like there are so many things to investigate, where should I start? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Check the copper coins, then check the fake gold, and kill Wang Maocai and Nangong Yu while you’re at it.]
Daju: [You should also not commit too many killings, which will affect your practice! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [If I don't kill those people, I will be aiding and abetting the evil, which will be karma. If I kill bad people, and if the heaven dares to blame me, I will fight him.]
Daju: [Stop talking nonsense and get back to work. We have to go back for lunch soon.]
"Your Highness, let's go back! There's no rush to investigate Nangong Yu. When you ascend the throne, he must return to Xijing according to ancestral rules.
If he doesn't come back, you can directly revoke his title of prince and take back his fiefdom.
But I guess he might take advantage of your accession to the throne to send troops.
So you have to be prepared.”
"Thank you Miss Tian. I have already made plans."
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, are those generals at the border still waiting and watching? ]
Daju: [Those in the east, west, and north will come back to show their loyalty to the new emperor. Those in the south are getting involved with Nangong Yu, so I'm afraid they may have rebellious intentions.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Very good, knowing yourself and your enemy will ensure victory in every battle! Just know their inner thoughts.]
Daju: [Nangong Rui has ruthless means, and the imperial city is under his control. With Nangong Hui's support, those people can't cause any trouble.]
"Your Highness, let's go back to the inn!"
Tian Xiaoxiao blocked this exit and then cast countless talismans on it.
From now on, no one except Nangong Rui can open this copper mine.
"Your Highness, this copper mine is only open by you. I will tell you how to open it."
Tian Xiaoxiao whispered in Nangong Rui's ear.
Nangong Rui looked grateful.
Copper and iron ores are both important mineral deposits, and the Tian family put all the discovered mines under the name of Nangong Rui alone.
When this place is reopened, it will definitely be when Ming Ning’s military and economy are even stronger.
After returning to the inn, Hu Zhongping led his disciples to practice the Double-edged Sword Technique.
When Hu Zhongping was a child, he was forced by Hu Dingshan to practice the Double-edged Sword Technique for several years. Therefore, after Lin Yunzhi's guidance, he was able to perform the Double-edged Sword Technique intact.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, it turns out that knife skills are also engraved in genes. ]
Daju: [Gene?]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Genes are hereditary material. What I mean is that sword skills will be passed on to the next generation.]
Daju: [That was because Hu Dingshan taught well, and Hu Zhongping remembers it deeply.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I’m sleepy. I’ll take a break and eat, then go to Huadu.]
Nangong Rui became busy and spent a lot of time sorting out the documents.
However, as expected of an emperor who was about to ascend the throne, he sorted out the whole matter and made up his mind to rectify the officialdom of Mingning State.
No matter how dangerous it is, no matter how dangerous it is, someone has to go through it.
After Tian Xiaoxiao woke up from her nap and ate the meal that Ade had heated up for her, the group set off for Huadu.
This time we actually went there in a horse-drawn carriage.
The Qiankun Prison of Fenglei Fengyu was sent back to Shengjing by Tian Xiaoxiao. Tian Xingjian replaced Nangong Rui and interrogated the first group of people who were caught.
There were still several women in the prison, and Tian Xingjian planned to wait until Tian Xiaoxiao came back before interrogating them.
Those women didn't know what kind of medicine Tian Xiaoxiao gave them, and they remained in a coma.
Tian Xingjian ignored it.
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Qingchen, have the people of Fuyong Town resumed their daily lives? ]
Daju: [It has recovered. Never worry about the people's ability to adapt. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [That's good. I wonder what type of economy can be developed here? ]
Daju: [Growing industry, the climate here is very good, not too hot nor too cold. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [How is my second brother doing? ]
Daju: [The villagers plan to settle down there and rebuild a village. The land and sky have been reclaimed.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It would be better if I asked my second brother to come meet the girl last night. ]
Daju: [Do you like that girl so much? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [My second brother has to like her too. They are of similar age, so they should get along well. The girl has a good temper, and as long as my second brother doesn't do anything stupid, he can live a happy life.]
Daju: [Have you transformed into Tian Matchmaker? ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Women understand women better. They are not as superficial as men who only look at a woman’s face and figure.]
Daju: [It sounds like you don’t care about appearance. ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I value appearance, but I value character more, right? ]
Daju: [Eat, eat, Huadu is a place full of lights, wine and women, and a life of debauchery.]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [I have experienced all that. All prosperity is fleeting. Only lying flat is eternal.]
Daju: [Start talking nonsense again! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [You will understand when you go there. There is no such thing as the most prosperous, only more prosperous! ]
Daju: [Then you have to eat melons and practice hard, otherwise none of us can go! ]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [It depends on my mood! Besides, why are you so anxious? ]
Daju: [I...]
Tian Xiaoxiao: [Why, do you miss your Miss Qingluan? ]
Daju: [It's none of your business! ]
Daju didn't want to talk to Tian Xiaoxiao and walked away.
