"Change it, you have been wronged by this matter."
Han Wen watched Cheng Dong and others leave and said apologetically to Su Hao.
Han Wen knew that Su Hao could put all the blame on him, so that Su Hao would not have to bear the reputation of being a stooge. But Su Hao didn't say anything and took the blame on himself, so Han Wen had to ask him
Say thank you.
Hearing Han Wen's words, Su Hao smiled slightly and said: "It doesn't matter, they are just some children. They don't understand the major events of the world. The county magistrate doesn't need to care."
"Haha, instead, I think you are just a child, right?" Fang Mengjin twirled his beard and said with a smile. In fact, among the three students, Cheng Dong is younger than Su Hao, and Wang Shengxian and Peng Shiji are both in their 20s.
They were over 10 years old, so they really couldn't be considered children. At least Su Hao was not qualified to say what kind of children they were.
Su Hao knew he had made a mistake and said quickly: "Master Fang's lesson is right. Master Fang and the county magistrate often teach me. I'm afraid I will be like them, ignorant of the hardships of people's livelihood and talking nonsense about national affairs."
Han Wendao: "During the Hongwu period, Taizu once issued an edict stating that any disease that would benefit the army and the people, and no one was allowed to comment on it. If there was anything that would benefit the army and the people, there should be officials, sages in the field, ambitious men, simple farmers, and merchants with skills.
, it can all be said, and no one can stop it, except the students. If Taizu were still alive, these students who are talking nonsense today can all be punished."
Fang Mengjin smiled bitterly and said: "These are all rules in the early years. How many rules can we still follow the rules set by Taizu now? It is even more popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for officials to talk about state affairs. The local government
County officials often go to drink and discuss politics with the students."
"Oh, what a waste of etiquette!" Han Wen sighed. He had forgotten that when he was a student member, he also liked to discuss current affairs, but now that he is a county magistrate, his stance is different.
Su Hao said: "County Lord, Master Fang, this matter should be viewed from both sides. The students do not understand the people's sentiments and talk about current affairs. Sometimes it is easy to confuse the public. This is a disadvantage. But on the other hand, the students are scholars after all.
, they will all be officials in the future, let them participate in political affairs earlier, it will also be a training for them."
"What I said makes sense. What do you think of the gold mine?" Han Wen asked.
Su Hao said: "I was negligent in this matter. When I went prospecting, I already knew that the rocks in that area were loose and prone to roof collapse accidents. With Changwu's mining method, it would be strange if nothing happened. The current plan, the student thinks, must be
Explain the interests and risks to Chang Wu. If he cannot guarantee safety, we will try our best to prevent him from continuing to mine."
"Stop Eunuch Chang from mining? It's not easy." Han Wen said, "I also mentioned to him that the local area is prone to roof collapse accidents, but he didn't care. In his eyes, human life is nothing at all. This
He didn't send anyone to report a mining accident to me. If these workers hadn't come to complain, I would still have been kept in the dark."
Su Hao said: "Peng Shiji's words just now reminded me. He said that Fengcheng has no reputation for producing gold. If we didn't say that Fengcheng has gold mines, Chang Wu would not want to mine gold in Fengcheng."
Han Wen said: "Change, why are you confused? If we don't donate gold mines to him, he will ask us to raise funds from the people to pay the mining tax. Isn't it for this reason that we go to find gold mines for him?
?”
Su Hao said: "Chang Wu is the Jiangxi mine supervisor, not the Fengcheng mine supervisor. If we can find a gold mine for him outside Fengcheng, will he let us go in Fengcheng?"
"Outside Fengcheng?" Han Wen looked at Su Hao suspiciously, "In other words, how do you know where there are gold mines outside Fengcheng?"
"The students have calculated that there should be a large-scale gold mine in the Tonggushi area to the west of Nanchang Prefecture, where General Deng Zilong once stationed, which is far larger than the gold mine in Yuanli Village. If Chang Wu can be allowed to mine there, we can cooperate with Fengwu.
The city is irrelevant." Su Hao said.
In later generations, although the Yuanli gold mine in Fengcheng was mined, it was only a small gold mine after all. Su Hao did not understand that if he had not dug a well in that area this time, he would not have discovered the mineral deposit. But Tonggu's
The gold mine was different. It was a relatively large-scale gold mine in later generations. Su Hao once personally participated in the demonstration work to prove the reserves and lived there for a few days. Although a lifetime later, he believed that he could still find the gold mine.
Outcrops of several large mineral veins.
Tonggu's gold mine has larger reserves and better geological conditions. Since Changwu needs gold so much, he can simply let him mine it. As for whether there will be a new mining disaster, Su Hao really can't think about it.
. Mine supervisors from all over the country are mining in various ways, and many miners have died. All Su Hao can do now is to divert the disaster away from Fengcheng. As for the miners in other places, there is nothing he can do.
Hearing Su Hao say that there was a large gold mine in the Tonggushi area, Han Wen's first feeling was extremely shocked. He knew that Su Hao had never been to that area. In fact, that area had high mountains and dense forests, sparsely populated areas, and had always been a gathering place for bandits.
It's a place where ordinary people have no idea what's going on there. Su Hao can assert that there is a big gold mine there without ever having been to Tonggushi. If it's not nonsense, then it's really amazing.
"In other words, how did you know that there is a big gold mine in Tonggushi?" Han Wen couldn't help but ask.
When Su Hao said these words, he had already prepared an excuse. He replied: "There are traces of the accumulation of minerals underground. Students can deduce based on the trends of mountains and rivers they saw in Fengcheng.
Based on the mineral distribution in the surrounding area, it can be inferred that there should be a large gold mine in the northwest.
In addition, Deputy General Deng once led his troops to garrison in Tonggushi. Two generals in our camp were soldiers of Deputy General Deng. Although they joined the army late and did not catch up with the time when they were stationed in Tonggushi, they also had
I heard veterans in the army talk about the mountains and terrain in the Tonggushi area. The students talked with them, and judging from what they said, it is certain that this gold mine is in the Tonggushi area."
Such words are just deceiving the ancients. Even with the technological level of future generations, no one can predict the distribution of mineral deposits in another place hundreds of miles away. However, Su Hao said this, and Han Wen could not fault him.
Come on, when Su Hao was looking for water in the county, he was always talking about it, but in the end he was often able to find underground water. Maybe he really had some brilliant geological survey skills, and could see through the mineral deposits within a few hundred miles. Such a thing
, who can say clearly?
The longer he was in contact with Su Hao, the more Han Wen felt that Su Hao must have received guidance from a famous teacher. The so-called Fo Langji missionary's statement was just a cover for Su Hao. How could a missionary be able to do this in just a few days?
He taught Su Hao so many things. Jiangxi has a deep Taoist tradition. Sanqing Mountain and Longhu Mountain are all famous Taoist mountains, and there are quite a number of Taoist masters. Han Wen guessed that Su Hao's teacher must be such a master.
For some reason, people didn't want Su Hao to reveal his real name, so he came up with such a poor excuse as the Franciscan missionary.
Since Su Hao didn't want to talk about his apprenticeship, it was naturally not convenient for Han Wen to ask. Looking at Su Hao's confident look, Han Wen asked: "Instead, if you are sent to search for gold mines in the Tonggushi area, how long do you estimate it will take?"
Can the time be found?”
"No more than seven days." Su Hao replied.
"Isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Han Wen said, "As far as I know, the Tonggushi area is more than a hundred miles in radius. It only takes you more than seven days to walk around. How can you find a gold mine so quickly?"
Of course, Su Hao would not tell Han Wen that he could actually mark the location of the gold mine without going there. It would be too shocking to say so. He said: "Students infer gold mines based on the mountains and terrain, so there is no need to go."
If you look around the entire mountainous area and look at it from the top of the mountain, you can basically make yourself inseparable."
"Well, that's it." Han Wen nodded. He believed that Su Hao's technique came from Taoist Feng Shui theory. It is said that some clever earth masters can know whether there is anything underground just by looking at the earth's energy from a distance.
Jin Zi, it seems that this is what Su Hao learned.
"Okay, that being the case, I plan to write to Jiangxi's mine supervisor Li Long and Eunuch Li to tell him that there may be a large gold mine in the Tonggushi area. If he is interested, I will recommend you to go prospecting. Are you willing?"
Korean asked.
Su Hao wondered: "Why is the letter written to Eunuch Li instead of Eunuch Chang?"
Han Wen said: "Eunuch Li is originally the envoy, and Eunuch Chang is just his deputy. If we can find a large gold mine and dedicate it to the envoy, it will certainly be more legitimate than dedicating it to the deputy envoy. If we can find Tonggu Stone here,
For a large gold mine, Eunuch Li will definitely transfer all the gold mining craftsmen currently in Fengcheng there, and the gold mine here will no longer be able to be mined. As for Tonggushi, Eunuch Li will find a way to recruit mining volunteers.
alright."
"Student understands, and is willing to listen to the arrangements of the county magistrate." Su Hao bowed and replied.
Han Wen solved a difficult problem, and a stone fell in his heart. Looking at Su Hao sitting below, he deliberately praised him a few times, but suddenly thought of Han Qian's matter, and couldn't help but feel worried again.
"Change it... Oh!" Han Wen hesitated and could only sigh.
Su Hao heard the Korean sigh and understood the meaning of the Korean, but there was no way to solve this problem, so he could only remain silent.
The two of them were silent and thinking for a while. Han Wen waved his hand to Su Hao and said:
"Forget it, instead, you are injured, so you don't need to stay here for a long time. Go back and rest."
Su Hao had already been on pins and needles for a long time. When he heard Han Wen's words, he quickly stood up, bowed and said goodbye, and then left.
Looking at Su Hao's back, Han Wen shook his head and said to Fang Meng Jin: "Oh, what a pity. This boy is indeed a talent, but it's a pity that he has no chance to meet my daughter."
Fang Mengjin then mused: "Proprietor, don't rush this matter. Let me think about it and see if there is a way to break this deadlock." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
