The soul wears a mother's womb, and was overheard by the emperor Laozi

"Perhaps it was because of Liu Nang's kind thoughts that by chance, one of his children was able to survive by chance."

After Long Lin finished speaking, he turned to look at the little girl.

Sensing Long Lin's gaze, the little girl turned her head directly, leaving only a back view for everyone.

Fu Di also looked over and was taken aback for a moment.

How could he speak clearly about this kind of thing, since it was a hidden matter, there was naturally a hidden reason for it.

"Your Highness, perhaps you are right."

"There must be a lot of people like Liu Nang, all over the villages, doing the same thing every year."

"But if it were me, even if I sent my own people, I wouldn't dare to trust all of them easily."

"The families of these people must be controlled by themselves. This is a threat that can make the people below do things with all their heart."

"I think that Liu Nang's family members have all been murdered at this moment."

Fu Di directly said the possibility he thought of.

This is not complicated. No matter who is arranging this matter, there will be certain means to restrict it.

It is precisely because of the restraint that this matter can be guaranteed, and it has been carried out smoothly every year for so many years, without any disturbance.

For Liu Nang, the person behind him probably hates him deeply, and his family members may suffer torture that is worse than death, and then die.

Your Highness is right, if you associate with evil, you will eventually suffer the consequences.

Looking at the back of the little girl, Long Lin felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

"Fu Di, your analysis is good. The truth may be like this. Yin Shamen shot and killed the village chief and Liu Nang's wife and daughter, which is to take revenge on Liu Nang."

"anything else?"

Fu Di listened and nodded.

"Your Highness, the affairs of the villagers before and after this are basically settled."

"In order to prevent what they did from leaking out, they made the villagers who went out lose their memory of going out."

"Such a method is unheard of, and it can be said to be the strongest method of keeping secrets."

"It takes so much effort to mobilize all the villagers, it must be necessary for these villagers to contribute to a big event."

"What kind of thing is it? Need so many people?"

After being paid to such a point, Long Lin immediately had an idea.

"Mine?"

After Long Lin's voice fell, Fu Di nodded.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it can only be like this. Only by mining, those behind the scenes can get huge benefits."

"If you think about it here, you should be thinking about money."

Long Lin nodded immediately after hearing this, which was reasonable.

All mines in the world are owned by the imperial court, and local officials are not allowed to touch them without the imperial court's permission.

For this huge benefit, the people behind it joined forces with local officials to set up this deceitful situation.

But what kind of mine is this?Could it be a gold mine or a silver mine?

Thinking of this, Long Lin subconsciously shook his head.

This possibility is not impossible, but it is very small.

Gold, silver and copper are the most important things of the imperial court. Once these things exist, they must be kept in the hands of the imperial court.

Apart from these, what Long Lin immediately thought of was iron.

The imperial court did not pay that much attention to steel and iron. The smelting technology was backward, and the iron ore that had been mined could not be dug at all. The remaining iron ore, the imperial court naturally did not have enough energy to mine.

Mining iron ore must be for smelting iron products.

Using so many people to mine iron ore, then smelt it, and then make it into iron products, who can sell it to?

Although the common people in the world are very short of iron products, if the price is too high, the common people cannot afford it at all.

A large number of iron products suddenly appeared, and the court would definitely notice this matter, but why didn't there be any reaction?

He also noticed that the people here did not feel that there were any iron products.

Where did that silver come from?

Chapter 342 Two Directions

People die for money, and the people behind it have spent so much effort, there must be some conspiracy.

Long Lin couldn't figure it out, and looked at Fu Di.

"Fu Di, since it is mining, what is it for?"

"Your Highness, these are just our conjectures, mining is just the biggest possibility."

Long Lin nodded, agreeing with Fu Di's words.

Fu Di smiled, and then spoke.

"Your Highness, this can explain why so many of those villagers can't come back."

"Most of these people should still be alive, but they were confined in the mine and lost their freedom."

"And those who come back will bring new labor to go every year, which can form a continuous flow of personnel."

"Your Highness, what kind of mine do you think these people are opening?"

Fu Di opened his mouth and asked Long Lin.

"iron ore."

Without any hesitation, Long Lin directly expressed his thoughts.

Fu Di nodded, thinking the same in his heart.

"Your Highness, since the purpose is to mine iron ore, it must be made into some iron products."

"Now there are only two kinds of iron products, one is weapons, and the other is something used by the people."

"Your Highness, which one do you think it will be?"

Fu Di asked him again, and Long Lin showed a slight smile.

"It must be a weapon."

Fu Di nodded and also showed a simple and honest smile.

"Your Highness, since it is a weapon, what does His Highness think the other party is trying to do?"

"Sell it and get a lot of gold and silver."

Long Lin was thinking about this just now, and almost blurted it out.

After Fu Di heard this, he was obviously taken aback.

Long Lin noticed all the subtle changes in Fu Di.

"Fu Di, don't you think so?"

"Your Highness, what I think is that the people behind the scenes formed an army and conspired to rebel."

After Fu Di's words fell, there were several shouts immediately.

Long Gan's eyes widened immediately. In these two prefectures, there are still people who want to rebel?

Long Lin's eyes also widened, he didn't think about it at all.

In Long Lin's heart, the Long Dynasty is a stable and unified dynasty. Under such a powerful situation, do you want to rebel?How is that possible?

In Long Lin's view, even if he wanted to rebel, he had to have a reputation. Otherwise, who would be so stupid as to rebel?

Seeing Long Lin's surprise, Fu Di hurriedly spoke.

"Your Highness, we are just conjecturing now. From the current point of view, there should be only these two situations."

Long Lin nodded, still feeling that his idea was more reliable.

"Indeed, what shall we do next?"

"Also, what do you think the people behind that will do?"

Fu Di shook his head slightly.

"Your Highness, there must be a huge force behind this, and the mines mined must be within the territory of the two states."

"If it were me, I would definitely cancel taking people out this year. As long as I don't go out, there will be no place to start investigating."

"It must be very difficult to find the place where they dig mines between the vast mountains and forests of the two states."

"And the place where the other party smelts is probably hidden in the mountains. As long as the construction is not done, the outside may not be able to find the slightest bit."

"In this case, once the other party shrinks and does not move, we are afraid that there is nothing we can do."

Fu Di said it calmly.

He had already thought that the other party might have evacuated the people in the village long ago, and he was rushing to clean up all suspicious people.

In this case, once the other party stopped bringing people from the village, it would be impossible to find them.

Long Lin smiled bitterly.

"Fu Di, according to what you say, is there nothing we can do?"

"Not entirely, Your Highness, there are two directions."

"tell me the story."

Fu Di nodded.

"Those who have been outside the village, as long as these people can restore their memories, there will be unexpected gains."

Long Lin's eyes narrowed instantly.

That's right, how could he forget these people? He couldn't figure it out, so it's not like others couldn't figure it out either. Suddenly a figure appeared in Long Lin's mind.

"Go on."

"The other direction is to mobilize the people in the two states. As long as there are enough people, there must be people who have noticed something unusual."

Long Lin began to think.

These two methods of Fu Di are indeed good methods.

Mobilize the people?That would require the cooperation of officials from the two states. In this case, Long Lin didn't even think about those officials.

Those officials, I'm afraid they have all been bought long ago, just like this county magistrate, they are completely the other party's umbrella.

"If you don't mobilize the people? Is there any other way?"

Fu Di also encountered difficulties all of a sudden, he only thought of so much in a short period of time.

Do not mobilize the people?What else can I do?Then we can only dispatch officers and soldiers and look around?

"Your Highness, then you can only take officers and soldiers to collect information in various villages. This is a stupid way to try your luck."

Stupid way?Long Lin laughed immediately.

"Just be stupid, how can there be so many smart people?"

"We always have to do something. As long as we are moving, the other party will not dare to relax for a moment."

"There is no way right now, maybe when there will be a way."

"Fu Di, tell Xiaobao to order all the generals, lead people scattered, and go to various villages to collect information."

"Strictly investigate those who have gone out. If the person who took the lead to go out is in the village, try to catch as many alive as possible, and investigate clearly."

Fu Di was immediately taken aback when he heard that, he just said it casually, but he didn't expect His Highness to give the order directly.

"His Royal Highness, mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people like this? Why?"

"Knock the mountain to shake the tiger, kill two birds with one stone."

Fu Di was suddenly at a loss, completely confused.
