Chapter 433 Employment Union (1)
The information about iron and silver mines revealed by Shen Yu was not entirely groundless.
She once studied the county annals in detail and dug out an old piece of news between the lines: at the border of Nan County and Xi County, some people accidentally picked up gravel of strange colors, but this small matter did not attract any attention and was only recorded in a very inconspicuous place as a record of friendly interaction between officials and the public.
The reason those fragments of stone were recorded was because they unexpectedly won the favor of the county magistrate's young daughter, and the discoverer received a small reward for it.
Shen Yu thought about it carefully. Maybe those gravels were the legendary mineral outcrops. She remembered reading related records before she traveled through the book. After all, in addition to being a hacker, she was also responsible for collecting information.
Some harder ore bodies of ores and gangue will be exposed on the surface after weathering or bottom box movement, and are therefore discovered by the people.
Anyway, those could be quartzite, hematite, quartz, etc., or even a whole vein. Anyway, outcrops of this type of mineral deposits generally form protruding terrain. What type they are, who knows?
Who can say for sure that what is hidden underneath is not the most precious iron ore, or the silver mine that all forces dream of? At least what she said is true, at least it is not a complete lie, right?
This news spread quietly in the city. The source was that Princess Zhuo accidentally discovered it while reading the old county annals. It was highly credible. It was said that the location was above Nan County and Xi County. Although the specific location was not announced, it was enough to arouse the desire and fantasy in countless people's hearts.
Zhuocheng's terrain is long and strip-shaped, with seven counties lined up in a row, namely East, South, West, North, Rong, Lan and Ning, and North County is right in the middle and is the main city.
Dong County borders Licheng on the far left, and Ning County borders Youcheng on the far right, both of which are important gateways. Rong County and Lan County are basically farmland, and only Nan County has nothing and is the most backward. Shen Yu is worrying about how to develop, and now someone is sending him a pillow.
She could just develop the expedition business directly, and also lure some of the increasingly numerous martial arts masters gathering in Beixian County over, right? Perfect! She had to give a thumbs up to her own wit!
Fu Yunxiu had heard the princess often call herself a business genius before, but he actually thought it was a bit too exaggerated... But until today, he really admired her very much, the princess is a real genius! !
Looking at the plan, Ye Xiuyong asked weakly, "That team leader... I still don't quite understand what his intention is?" He has been staying at the 'Xia Yi Hall' lately, eating and sleeping there. In the past few days, because he wanted to help Gao Yong, he went to Prince Zhuo's Mansion quite frequently.
Fu Yunxiu glared at Ye Xiuyong with disdain. He thought that since he had been following the princess, his thinking had broadened a lot. He said with a sense of superiority, "I am here to lead the way!"
Ye Xiuyong also gave a disdainful look in return. He was one of the first people to follow Shen Yu. Well, he raised his chin and said sarcastically, "Haha, of course I know that he is used to lead the way! What I'm asking is his function!!"
Gao Yong is now more flexible in facing these situations. After all, he is no longer a freeloader in the palace! He spoke with more confidence. With a turn of his eyes, he said, "I guess, sister definitely doesn't want these treasure hunters to wander around. The role of the team leader is not so much to lead the way, but to fix their route of action?"
Shen Yu nodded and snapped his fingers, "Smart!"
"Actually, I'm not sure if there are any mineral veins here, but what if there really is? Wouldn't I be at a huge loss? So I want to make sure that these people won't really find something and then conceal it. But it's unrealistic to let the palace guards be the team leader. First, there aren't that many people, and second, we can't let the other party think that our palace is intentionally monitoring us. I originally wanted to let 'Tongtian Tower' do this, but then I found out that there is actually a large undeveloped area outside Zhuocheng. Although it is frozen by snow-capped mountains all year round, there are also many non-frozen areas. It's a terrible thing to know nothing about the area near your home..."
Wu Zhong nodded. “In fact, it’s not that the Zhuocheng Army hasn’t searched there, but that place belonged to the Northern Rong territory back then, and there were troops stationed there. The farthest our people went was more than a hundred miles before turning back, and they didn’t even set foot in the depths of the snow-capped mountains…” So if the princess could really send someone to explore the way, they would definitely be happy to do so.
Shen Yu said that she understood that no matter what era, the territory could not be given up. If it weren't for the fact that Beirong was now in name only, she would not have done such a provocative thing, otherwise it would be her fault if she caused a war.
She continued, "Actually, this is a mercenary union founded by Prince Zhuo's Mansion. People from the underworld can come here to form their own teams. Only mercenary groups can obtain the qualification to leave the city. The Zhuo City Army is stationed not far outside the city. Once they are found crossing the border without permission, they will be killed on the spot."
Gao Yong followed her line of thought, "So, it will be different if we let people from the martial arts world lead the team. They can get spoils and have a stable job in Zhuocheng. Doesn't this mean that we have more people?" He knew that his sister had been working hard to recruit people everywhere, and even many people from the neighboring Youcheng had come.
"Anyway, if the team really discovers minerals, they only need to hand over 20% of them to Zhuocheng, and they can keep the rest of the treasures. Each member of the team only needs to pay ten taels of silver as an exit fee each time. At this price, I believe most people are willing to participate. After all, they are very interested in new things." Ye Xiuyong nodded in agreement.
"But...will this be dangerous?" Ye Mu'an was eager to make a move and was already thinking about how to get Gu Chen to release the people.
When he was called Wu Chen before, he was obviously a cold stone. Since he changed back to his original name Gu Chen, it was as if the seal was released. No matter how busy he was, he had to sneak into the Ye Mansion to see her every day. Although it was very sweet, he also had no personal freedom! !
Ye Xiuyong touched his sister's head and said, "Don't even think about taking the dangerous routes of the mercenary team, but you can take the sightseeing route of 'Tianji Pavilion'!"
Ye Muan rolled his eyes. "I was one of the first customers at that time, okay?"
The 'Tianji Pavilion' jointly established by the second generation of the royal family has basically been established, with at least one branch in every city.
The tourism and transportation functions have been gradually improved. The fastest route that can be operated is the road from Luocheng to Youcheng. Since Princess Zhuo brought the workers of Tuqian to walk through it, the route has basically been opened, and the food and accommodation stores along the way are ready.
Furthermore, with the support of Prince De, she can now act very arrogantly even in front of the Emperor of Luocheng. She was afraid that he would target Zhuocheng before, but later she found out that the one with the greatest ill will towards them was just an old woman. Although she couldn't teach her a lesson in person due to her status, she was able to feel a little relieved that she had kidnapped her son.
