People die for money, so the person behind it must have some agenda after spending so much effort.
Long Lin was a little confused and looked at Fu Di.
"Fu Di, since it's mining, then why?"
"Your Highness, these are just our conjectures. Mining is just the most likely possibility."
Long Lin nodded, agreeing with Fu Di's words.
Fu Di smiled and then spoke.
"Your Highness, this can explain why so many of those villagers cannot come back."
"Most of these people should still be alive, but they are confined to the mines and have lost their freedom."
"And those who come back will bring new labor every year, which can form an endless stream of people."
"Your Highness, what kind of mine do you think these people are mining?"
Fu Di opened his mouth and asked Long Lin.
"iron ore."
Long Lin didn't hesitate at all and directly expressed his thoughts.
Fu Di nodded, thinking the same thing in his heart.
"Your Highness, since the purpose is to dig for iron ore, it must be made into some iron products."
"There are only two kinds of iron products now, one is weapons, and the other is some things used by the people."
"Your Highness, which one do you think it will be?"
Fu Di asked him again, and Long Lin showed a faint smile.
"It must be a weapon."
Fu Di nodded, also showing an honest smile.
"Your Highness, since it is a weapon, what do you think the other party is going to do?"
"Sell it and get a lot of gold and silver."
Long Lin was thinking about this just now and almost blurted it out.
But after Fu Di heard this, he was obviously stunned for a moment.
Long Lin saw all Fu Di's subtle changes.
"Fu Di, don't you think so?"
"Your Highness, what I think is that the people behind it formed an army and plotted a rebellion."
As soon as Fu Di finished speaking, there were several loud shouts.
Long Qian's eyes widened immediately. In these two states, there are still people who want to rebel?
Long Lin's eyes widened as well. He had not thought about this at all.
In Long Lin's mind, the Dragon Dynasty was a stable unified dynasty. Under such a powerful situation, he wanted to rebel? How could he succeed?
In Long Lin's view, even if you want to rebel, you must have a name. Otherwise, who among the people in the world will be stupid enough to rebel?
Seeing Long Lin's surprise, Fu Di hurriedly spoke.
"Your Highness, we are just guessing now. At present, there should be only these two situations."
Long Lin nodded, still feeling that his idea was more reliable.
"Indeed, what should we do next?"
"Also, what do you think the person behind it will do?"
Fu Di shook his head slightly.
"Your Highness, there must be a huge force behind this, and the mines being mined must be within the borders of the two states."
"If it were me, I would definitely cancel taking people out this year. As long as we don't go out, there will be no place to start investigating."
"It must be very difficult to find the place where they dug the mine among the vast mountains and forests of the two states."
"And the place where the other party is smelting is probably hidden in the mountains. As long as there is no construction, the outside world may not be able to find anything at all."
"In this case, once the other party shrinks and doesn't move, we're afraid there's nothing we can do."
Fu Di spoke calmly.
He had already thought that the other party might have evacuated the villagers long ago and was working hard to clear out all suspicious people.
In this case, once the other party stops taking people from the village, it will be impossible to find him.
Long Lin smiled bitterly.
"Fu Di, according to what you say, isn't there anything we can do?"
"Not entirely, Your Highness, there are two directions."
"Tell me and listen."
Fu Di nodded.
"Those who have been outside the village, as long as these people can recover their memories, they will definitely gain unexpected benefits."
Long Lin's eyes narrowed instantly.
Yes, why did he forget these people? If he couldn't handle it, others wouldn't be able to handle it either. Suddenly, a figure appeared in Long Lin's mind.
"Go on."
"The other direction is to get the people in the two states to take action. As long as there are enough people, there must be people who have noticed something unusual."
Long Lin started to think.
These two methods of Fu Di are indeed good methods.
Mobilizing the people? That requires the cooperation of officials from the two states. In this case, Long Lin would not even think about those officials.
Those officials may have all been bribed a long time ago. Just like this county magistrate, they are completely the other party's protective umbrella.
"If we don't mobilize the people? Is there any other way?"
Fu Di was suddenly troubled. He could only think of so much in a short period of time.
If we don’t mobilize the people? What else can we do? Then we can only send out officers and soldiers to look around?
"Your Highness, we can only take the officers and soldiers to collect information in various villages. This is a stupid way to try your luck."
Is it a stupid idea? Long Lin immediately laughed.
"Just be stupid. How can there be so many smart people?"
"We always have to do something. As long as we are moving, the other party will not dare to relax for a moment."
"There is no solution at the moment, but maybe there will be a solution sometime."
"Fu Di, instruct Xiaobao to recruit all the generals and lead them to various villages to collect information."
"Strictly investigate those who have gone out. If the person who took the lead in going out is in the village, try to capture them alive and investigate clearly."
Fu Di was immediately surprised after hearing this. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect His Highness to give the order directly.
"Your Highness, are you mobilizing troops and mobilizing people like this? Why?"
"Knocking on the mountain shakes the tiger, killing two birds with one stone."
Fu Di was immediately confused and didn't understand at all.
Where did you kill two birds with one stone? Where is the bird?
"Your Highness, what are the double eagles?"
"The people and the people behind the scenes."
When Fu Di heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he had an idea in an instant.
It turns out that this stupid method can work wonders if used properly.
His Highness' intention is to make the matter clear and clear. With such a large number of troops mobilized, the people will inevitably become frightened.
Once all the people are afraid, there may be unexpected gains.
In addition, those behind the scenes must be observing them all the time. As long as they take action, the people behind the scenes will definitely not dare to start work with great fanfare.
This is a process of game between the two sides to see who can keep calm.
Fu Di turned around and left, making detailed arrangements for Xiaobao first.
After a short time, Xiaobao turned around, took some people with him, and rode away directly.
Long Lin looked at Fu Di and admired him in his heart. Talents are rare. Fortunately, he didn't treat Fu Di badly in the first place.
Fu Di seems to like Xia Xiang? When you have time, let's settle this matter first.
Long Lin immediately made up his mind about this matter.
