Chapter 167 Female Official Takes Office

Ning Ning's house is not big, and outsiders like them definitely won't live in her parents' room, so there are even fewer rooms to choose from.

Especially since there is a princess in their group.

Ning Ning could only give her room to the princess. After all, it would be better for the princess to have a separate room for herself.

Then, there were a total of six rooms in the east and west wings, including her brother's. She gave one room to Si Yang and Chu Yun, and the remaining five rooms were divided among the ten people of Qingyun Zuoqi, two people in one room.

As for myself, I temporarily lived in the study.

Zhou Qingming was arranged to live in the woodshed.

Hearing that she had returned, the servants who had run away also came back again.

Ning Ning didn't say anything about this. After all, something had happened to the main family before, and it looked like the whole family was going to be wiped out. There was no point in them staying here.

At this time, Ning Ning's return was completely beyond everyone's expectations.

Of course, Ning Ning's family didn't have many servants, just his fifth uncle's family.

Uncle Five is their housekeeper, Aunt Five and several other maids are responsible for the housework, and the couple also has a little girl who is only 13 years old this year.

Previously, I wanted to arrange her to be Ning Ning's dowry maid, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen in the Ning family.

The old couple could do nothing but secretly hide some important items of the Ning family after they fell, waiting for them to return, although perhaps the chance of doing so was slim.

But after all, Young Master Ning is just missing, so there is still hope.

To be honest, they thought that the girl who was escorted to Beijing would most likely not come back, but unexpectedly, the girl came back first.

After hearing the news, my fifth uncle and aunt rushed back from the countryside overnight.

Naturally, I also brought back some important items from their home.

In fact, there was nothing important in it. They were just some alchemy recipes. Although all the recipes of the gold official would be handed over to the court, this notebook was the hard work of Lord Ning. Uncle Wu couldn't bear to see it burned, so he secretly hid it.

Ning Ning was deeply moved when looking at the notebook. This was indeed the notes of the original owner's father. From the original owner's perspective, this was equivalent to a miniature of her father, and was indeed more important than millions of gold and silver.

"Thank you, Uncle Five." Ning Ning expressed her gratitude sincerely.

Just like that, my fifth uncle and fifth aunt who had left came back again. They still lived in the servants' room and were responsible for preparing three meals a day here.

The small yard suffered a severe blow. After a few months of depression, it was populated again. Everything seemed to be unchanged, but in fact everything had changed. However, we could only accept it.

The next day, Ning Ning, as the Golden Official, naturally had to take up his post.

However, Jinguan's office is in the mine.

It takes half an hour for a fast horse to travel from here to the mine, and the carriage can go at double the speed.

As they left the city, the common people looked on in anticipation and whispered to each other, all discussing the newly appointed official.

There is no way. If someone else took office, people would not be so emotional. The main reason is that Ning Ning occupies the character "filial piety".

She was a weak woman who was escorted to the capital, where she braved life and death to clear her father's name.

This alone is enough for the world to praise it.

Now that she is working for her brother and managing the gold mine, it is naturally even more worthy of people's talk.

Although no one has said it out loud, but at this moment in their minds, Ning Ning is the well-deserved living Mulan. In ancient times, Mulan joined the army for her father, and today, Ning Ning is seeking justice for her father.

Naturally, everyone is willing to follow such a filial daughter.

So, when Ning Ning arrived at the place where she had taken up her post, she unexpectedly discovered that a large group of miners had already gathered there.

She had clearly heard from the Minzhou prefect that all the miners had returned home. Since her father's accident, the mine had been closed and there was no one here anymore.

But now there are crowds of people here.

"Oh, this is different from what Lord Lu said." Qingfeng was a little surprised.

"There must be something wrong when things are abnormal." Zhuiyue analyzed carefully.

"Never mind. If the enemy comes, we will fight him with our soldiers. If the water comes, we will block it with earth." Ning Ning looked calm.

She stepped out of the carriage generously and came directly to the front of the team. Shang Wenqi followed closely, like her shadow.

Ning Ning was wearing a modified golden official robe. The style was still the same as before, but it was more fitted and did not deliberately conceal her gender.

The leader bowed and said, "I am Cao Fei, the mine manager of No. 3 Mine. I am here to greet Lord Jin. All the miners in No. 3 Mine have arrived and are waiting for Lord Ning's orders at any time."

As he finished speaking, everyone in the No. 3 Mine bowed and greeted them. They counted and there were more than three hundred people.

It can be seen that this mine is not small.

After Cao Fei greeted them, others also greeted them.

There are a total of 7 mines here, among which Mine No. 3 is the largest, and the other six mines are all smaller in scale with more than people.

There are a total of 7 mines with about a thousand people.

Of course, these are just the miners who go down the mine, there are many people working in other positions.

In ancient times, gold mines were divided into three major areas: the mining area, the ore washing area, and the smelting area.

As the name suggests, the mining area refers to people who want to dig mines. I just said that there are a total of 7 mines here, and these mines also have their own tricks.

Mines are divided into two types: open pits and underground mines.

Open-pit mining is relatively small in scale, with dozens to a hundred people enough. Underground mining is more dangerous and difficult, but the pay is relatively higher.

Of course, people may have a misunderstanding that what is dug out from the ground is gold.

In fact, this is not the case. Most of the gold is embedded in the rock layer. After being taken out of the soil, it needs to be graded and washed in the ore washing area, and then smelted and purified in the smelting area. Only after cooling can it be obtained as gold.

There are about a hundred people in the ore washing area and several hundred more in the smelting area.

Add to that those who guard the mining area, porters, and odd jobs... all together there are more than two thousand people.

For the ancients with low productivity, this was indeed a big assignment.

Led by everyone, Ning Ning visited the place one by one and gained a general understanding of the ancient mining business.

Just at this moment, the deputy director of the mining area came hurriedly.

He hurried over to Ning Ning, knelt down and handed over a badge.

"Please save us, sir!"

As soon as this man ran over, Shang Wenqi stepped forward and blocked Ning Ning.

Now looking at the badge he presented, everyone was puzzled.

At this time, Cao Fei quickly spoke up: "Master Ning, this is the deputy director of the mine. He has been detained in prison since the accident. Master Ning cleared his name and released him. He has been kept in the family for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Ning Ning looked at the deputy director carefully and saw that he was indeed very thin and looked like he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"I'm sorry for not being able to rush here to greet Lord Ning right away." The deputy chief still had a sad look on his face, as if it was a great pity that he didn't meet Ning Ning.

When she saw him, the original owner's memory resurfaced. In fact, this uncle had watched her grow up since she was a child.
