Wei Zian came very quickly, and brought a whole team of experienced subordinates. These people were all talents cultivated by the Wei family at a large price.

"Your Highness Wanan..." Wei Zian led the people to salute and introduced Teng Yu's identity to them.

Before coming here, he did not inform these people of the purpose of their trip. These people found the iron ore in this mountain range, but the Wei family has not reported it to the court, and the people under the leadership can basically guess what it is. two.

It's just that they were still hesitant before they came, wondering if they would have to sacrifice their wealth and reputation to mine private mines for the Wei family.

It is true that the Wei family trained them, and they can keep this secret from leaking out, but it is a bit embarrassing to participate in person.

However, after meeting Teng Yu, these people changed their minds one after another. It is also a private mine, and it is absolutely different to settle in the Wei family and the prince's house.

Among the princes of all dynasties, which one didn't have any private property of their own?Even if this private mine is stabbed in front of the emperor one day, the old man can't take the life of his own son for this thing, can he?

After they settled down, everyone's expressions became much more relaxed. Wei Zian led Teng Yu and his party to the mine site. It was located in the northwest of the mountain range. There was a whole stone mountain with no grass growing, which was out of place with the surroundings.

"This area can be classified as a mining area within a radius of ten miles. The specific situation can only be known after digging." Wei Zian explained to Teng Yu that the Wei family also spent a lot of effort to find this place. It was still Wei Zian's at the time. The grandfather was in charge of the family, and his old man originally wanted to use this place as the last guarantee of the Wei family. In case the Wei family fell into depression one day, there was still a chance to make a comeback.

Teng Yu walked along this place for a long time. Their main problem now is not whether there is iron ore here, but what to do with it after digging it out.

Just transporting it out of this mountain range is a big problem.

What's more, the entire Daliang Arms Factory is in the hands of the Ministry of Industry, and some small private workshops have no right to trade pig iron privately, and must buy from the government.

Even if someone opens a private mine, it will naturally be a private transaction, and money can be made, but this transaction is not worthwhile for the current Third Prince's Mansion.

Walking on the trail temporarily opened by the guards, Teng Yu thought about it all the way, and finally made a bold decision.

"What? Are you going to build an armory here?" Everyone, including Yin Xu, was indescribably shocked.

Yin Xu was not shocked because of Teng Yu's boldness, but because he felt that such things as refining weapons are not something ordinary people know. If there is no technology, it will only be a waste of materials.

There are specialized weapon refining schools in the cultivation world, and Yin Xu has snatched a lot of good things from these schools, so he knows better that there are specialties in the art industry, and if you want to make a good weapon, you definitely don't have the materials.

But thinking of the quality of weapons in this world, Yin Xu thought to himself: It must not be difficult to break a sword like that?

The rest had no chance to express their opinions at all. Although Teng Yu made this decision suddenly, he couldn't stop thinking about it.

He can't just rely on his current power to fight against the Yun family, that's far from enough, if that day comes... Mutiny is certain, he needs to have an elite army of his own.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, you just need to do your duty well." Teng Yu turned to Wei Zian and said: "This hall knows that you recognize Huo Tian as the master not just to repay your kindness, it doesn't matter if you have extra thoughts, but If you can't stick to one end, this hall will definitely remove the Wei family from the imperial merchants!"

When Wei Zian met Teng Yu's warning gaze, his whole body froze, he lowered his head and promised, "You worry too much."

"That would be the best." Teng Yu took the people away, and the follow-up matters still need to be planned in detail. Where to build the weapons factory, where to find the masters who build the weapons, and how to recruit soldiers and horses are all difficult problems. A task that must be completed step by step.

When we returned to the bandit village, it was already dark, so Teng Yu and others had to continue to sleep in the tent for the whole night and waited until dawn before going down the mountain.

Wei Zian didn't go with him, but left the person who commanded him on the mountain to continue the in-depth exploration.

At least before Teng Yu's plan is finalized, he needs to give an accurate answer. Otherwise, everything is ready, but his east wind can't blow up for a long time. Wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

After three days of not returning to Huizhou, Teng Yu found that the atmosphere was not right as soon as he entered the city. Pedestrians on the road were in a hurry, and there were obviously fewer vendors on the street.

It stands to reason that the disaster has been brought under control, and it is unreasonable that the situation is worse than when it was hit by the disaster.

The carriage circled along the busiest street in Huizhou. Yin Xu looked out through the curtains, raised the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "It feels like a storm is coming."

"Huh? What's going to happen?"

"Young master doesn't know about this book, you have to ask our magistrate, let's go, go to the magistrate's yamen instead, just miss Madam Yu's craftsmanship."

Now, Huo Qishao's order is as effective as the third prince's order, and the guards turned around and went to the magistrate's yamen without even asking.

After hearing the report from the housekeeper, Yu Xuezhong learned that His Highness the Third Highness had returned, so he hurriedly changed into his official uniform and went out to greet him.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, why is Master Yu so different?" Teng Yu joked, but he didn't continue to show his familiarity.

There is no shortage of the court's eyeliner in this government house, and Teng Yu naturally knows the things that should be paid attention to.

It wasn't until the door was closed that Yu Xuezhong breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know if it's because of the previous memorial, I feel that many people have been inquiring about your whereabouts recently."

"What is the relationship between the whereabouts of this palace and the memorial?" Teng Yu shook his head indifferently, "If they want to check, let them check, you don't need to be too vigilant for the people around you, if you are too scrupled, it will arouse suspicion. "

"Yes, I understand." Yu Xuezhong bowed to Yin Xu again, "Does the Seventh Young Master gain anything from this trip?"

Yin Xu called the boy behind him to the front and pushed him in front of the magistrate, "No, this is the only harvest from this trip, does the magistrate like it? Or should I give it to you?"

Yu Xuezhong had long noticed the kid who came in behind Yin Xu, because he was unfamiliar, so he took a few extra glances, but it was awkward no matter how he looked, the kid looked like he had just returned from the servitude in the mine , so thin that it is unbearable.

However, he was skinny, the child's facial features were good, his behavior and behavior did not look like a commoner, and he did not know of any special encounters.

Teng Yu didn't know the purpose of going out this time, he just thought they were using the name of going around to inquire about people's sentiments, so he didn't go into it.

"This child..."

"Wang Ren, he said his name is Wang Ren." Yin Xu reminded, with a smile on his lips.

It took him two days, and he finally succeeded in making the kid understand his simple instructions. At least he wouldn't stand still when he was told to go left, and he wouldn't stand still when he was told to go forward. move.

As for the habit of staring at people with those big eyes at every turn, I still can't change it.

Just like at this time, Yu Xuezhong handed him a plate of pastries from the table, and asked kindly: "Your name is Wang Ren? Are you from Huizhou?" The other party not only did not answer, but stared at him in confusion. face, seems to be thinking about extremely important issues.

Although Yu Xuezhong didn't look embarrassed, he asked curiously: "Does he not understand or...?" Or can't hear?

"Ahem... Excuse me, he hasn't been trained well yet. He has this problem. He has probably been imprisoned for a long time, and he doesn't know much about human language." This was just Yin Xu's casual remark. According to Maoer's reaction, this brat is either inaudible or not. I don't understand, he is just curious why you are talking to him.

Especially speaking nicely with this affable attitude.

To put it bluntly, he is not used to being shown favors to him.

"Off?" Yu Xuezhong immediately discovered the key word in this sentence.

Teng Yu picked up the teacup and blew on it, brought the cold tea to Yin Xu's mouth, and at the same time told Yu Xuezhong everything about Guo Yanshan's suppression of the bandits.

There is no doubt about the employment, and Teng Yu wants to mine and build a factory in Guoyan Mountain, so this hurdle in Yu Xuezhong is particularly important.

With the help of a magistrate who is very helpful, many things can be solved easily. If you change to a magistrate who is at odds with him, if you want to quietly mine and build weapons in Huizhou, it is no different from plucking hairs on a tiger's buttocks .

It seems that he has one more important thing to do, which means that after the high school is transferred, the prefect of Huizhou must be replaced by his own people.

But who among the officials who surrendered to him in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty is competent?

Teng Yu focused on two purposes, while telling Yu Xuezhong the whole incident, while thinking about the candidate for the next magistrate.

And Zhifu Yu, who listened seriously, could no longer express his feelings in surprise. He never thought that the Third Prince would make such a major decision after three days of absence.

The banditry on Guoyan Mountain has always been a problem. The government has dispatched several times to suppress the bandits, but they have ended without a problem. They can't even find the opponent's lair. I didn't expect it to be solved so easily by the third prince, and it didn't cost the government. One soldier at a time.

If he didn't want to keep it secret, he really wanted to make another memorial and talk about it.

This is a good thing to do for the people!
