Shen Mingzhu has already researched this place. Except for Daizhou, which she went to personally, Hong Zhiqian was in charge of Xichen and other foreign countries. Mianzhou of the Jin Kingdom now also has a dedicated person in charge, and naturally there is also one in Fengcheng.
That man's name is Fei Yunhu, and he is Fei Yunhai's younger brother.
Fei Yunhu is different from Fei Yunhai. Fei Yunhu is good at business, but he is good at operating various mines.
In his previous life, Fei Yunhai was deceived by Bai Xian'er, and later he followed Shen Mingzhu. He originally wanted Fei Yunhu to join King Yan, but Fei Yunhu couldn't get rid of it because his brother had a knot in his heart, and he committed suicide.
Reluctant to serve as an official.
Later, Shen Mingzhu didn't force him.
However, in this life, Fei Yunhai did not squander his family fortune for Bai Xian'er in the capital, so naturally he would not have any major conflicts with his brother.
So after he gained power in front of Shen Mingzhu, he introduced his younger brother to Shen Mingzhu.
Fei Yunhu never refused in this life and readily agreed.
And the more difficult the task, the happier he was. When he heard that he was asked to survey the mines in the Yun family territory, he didn't have any difficulties and immediately accepted the order.
Ever since his brother followed Shen Mingzhu, he has been operating here, and now he is running a large business.
Therefore, Shen Mingzhu ran so many shops and had so much money, but she still felt that it was not enough.
In addition to training soldiers and recruiting troops, there are also various secret foundations, such as surveying mines, mining wasteland, etc.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian traveled on horseback and arrived in Linhai County in September when the autumn weather was crisp.
As the name suggests, Linhai County is close to the sea, but it is also backed by mountains. To the east is the boundless sea, and to the south are rolling mountains.
Many of those mountains are virgin forests, and no one has even entered or left in the depths.
It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s off the beaten path.
Across the mountain is South Vietnam. There is a forest between South Vietnam and Daqin, so there is not much contact between them.
And almost all traffic is through the post road next to Ningzhou. The mountain post road is almost like a long snake winding around the mountainside. If you are not brave, you will be scared to death if you go up it.
Linhai County borders other counties to the north and west. Because it has not been baptized by war, the people here are peaceful and have a sense of laziness.
The reason why Feiyun Lake was chosen to visit Linhai County is because it is close to the sea and is occasionally harassed by Japanese pirates, so wealthy households do not like to come here.
And here it is close to the mountains, so it is more convenient to explore the mines.
In addition, there are no wealthy households here, and the land is relatively scattered, with a lot of saline-alkali land and a lot of gravel land, which is suitable for reclamation.
Of course, another more important thing is that it is far away from the Yun family. If there is not a big movement, it will not be noticed.
When Shen Mingzhu and his party arrived at Linhai, Fei Yunhu and his entourage had been waiting at a teahouse on the roadside for a long time.
As soon as they received the news, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep. They wished that time would pass immediately so that they could see the prince and the eldest lady.
"Master!"
Fei Yunhu happily greeted them, but because he was afraid of attracting other people's attention, he still addressed the two of them by their disguised identities.
Shen Mingzhu and Xiao Xian were also very happy. They exchanged greetings, ate some dry food, fed the horses, and then got on their horses again.
It took another three days of walking to reach their camp.
