Time flies and more than ten days have passed.

"Master, I and General Wei led people to seize these two gold mines. The gold that those people smuggled out was also intercepted. Now I am leading people to take the gold back..."

Yun Zhao was very happy to hear Qin Shiyi's report.

They already knew the location of the gold mines, and they were preparing to close the net. This time, they finally caught all of them.

"My Lord and his men have seized tens of thousands of taels of gold..."

When Qin Chen came back, he brought back a lot of things and carried some boxes.

After the box was opened, the gold inside almost blinded many officials.

"Prince Qin, is this the gold you brought back from the gold mine?" Governor Jiang looked at the gold. There were several rows of large boxes, all filled with processed gold. Each box was a ten-liang gold ingot. It looked extremely rich.

"This is the gold that has been made into gold ingots. There are still tens of thousands of taels of gold that have not been made into gold ingots..."

These gold mines actually produced so much gold, but they didn't receive any news at all.

"The emperor has ordered that this gold be brought back to the capital."

Hearing this, Governor Jiang did not speak. As early as when he knew about this gold mine, he knew that the gold in this gold mine would definitely be handed over to the national treasury.

But now that the criminals in the gold mine have been arrested, we have to send people to manage the gold mine. It has to be managed well, and we also have to borrow the troops stationed in Jiangnan.

Thinking of this, Governor Jiang looked at Prince Chen and Prince Qin and said.

"Prince Chen, Prince Qin, if we continue to mine these two large gold mines, we will need a lot of manpower..."

Qin Chen asked someone to carry the gold to the yard next to where they lived.

Yun Zhao looked at the gold and felt that his eyes were dazzled. Although there were a lot of gold and jewelry in the secret room of Qin Hou Mansion, the amount of gold here was not less than that.

“Is this gold pure?”

Qin Chen nodded.

"I don't know where they got the technology from, but this gold can be used directly..."

Yun Zhao picked up a ten-liang gold ingot and asked Cuihua to pick up a gold ingot he usually used. He found that the words printed on them were the same. The two could be said to be exactly the same, and it was really impossible to tell them apart.

"The origins of these people who refined gold can be found out."

"I have interrogated them. Some of them had their fathers refine gold and silver in the gold and silver bureau. After their fathers left the bureau, they passed on their skills to them..."

Qin Yi continued to answer.

"If these people are found to have no problems after inspection, then let them continue to refine gold in the gold mine. The management here will be the same as other gold mines of the imperial court..."

Yun Zhao listened to Qin Chen's explanation and nodded.

Nowadays, these mines are controlled by the imperial court. The imperial court will also send soldiers to guard these gold and iron mines. These miners will also have normal income, which is higher than the monthly silver of ordinary jobs, but the dangers of mining are also greater than ordinary jobs.

Qin Ye can get out of bed now, but his legs still hurt a lot. The imperial physician and doctors examined him and said that he should rest for a few days. He would be able to walk after three months.

Now Qin Ye can only walk with the help of a crutch, lifting his left foot and hopping on one foot.

"My Lord, the news just came that the Marquis of Qin and General Wei led two armies to discover two gold mines... and brought back tens of thousands of taels of gold..."
