Compared with this problem, Nan Ming was even more confused about the reason why Feng Danyuan asked him to read two brochures.
However, combined with Feng Danyuan's previous question, "How many of the officials from the border states of Yun State are your people?" Nanming quickly reacted: Feng Danyuan suspected that this matter was related to him - he even said,
It's his hands and feet.
This can't be blamed on Feng Danyuan, to be fair, even he thinks so: the insidious and cunning Lord of Mocheng secretly colludes with border officials to do some shameful things.
After pondering for a long time, Nan Ming said: "I just learned about the disappearance of people in several border states after reading these two brochures. However, it is not entirely true to say that there are no clues."
"Mocheng is a place where three religions and nine streams are mixed. It has not yet established a complete household registration system like Yun Kingdom, so I only have a rough idea of the population of Mocheng. However, in recent years, more people have entered Mocheng than in previous years.
some."
"As far as I know, most of these people were passing by, that is to say, they left Mocheng very quickly; some of them went to mine gold and iron ores."
Feng Danyuan frowned; "Gold ore ore?"
Nan Ming was also startled: Oh, it turns out he didn’t know about this!
Feng Danyuan's eyes were as bright as a torch.
After Nanming opened his mouth, he could only continue: "A few years ago, a gold mine was discovered in Northern Xinjiang, and Liuyun Mountain across Mocheng was a branch of that gold mine. We searched for it and found out that
Gold and iron ores were also discovered. Mining required manpower, so I bought some young men from the frontier."
Feng Danyuan's voice was cold: "Did someone guide you to find those gold and iron mines? If I guess correctly, that person's name is 'Yu Manzhu' and she is a woman."
Nan Ming was shocked. He was a little unsure whether Feng Danyuan knew about the gold and iron mines.
"Answer, yes!" Feng Danyuan said sharply.
Nan Ming's expression also turned sharp for an instant - but only for a moment, and disappeared completely the next moment.
He came today not to Prince Chen's Mansion to seek death.
If Feng Danyuan asks him to explain, he will definitely explain it well - say what he can say, and don't say what he can't.
"Yes." Nanming replied, the matter of Yu Manzhu belongs to the category of "can tell".
"You were able to hide the Jinshan Iron Mine from under my nose. Nanming, you are really good at it." Feng Danyuan sneered.
Nan Ming was neither humble nor arrogant: "I don't have many chips, especially money. Since I found this gold in Mocheng, I must cherish it."
"Did you really buy those mining people?"
"A person can mine for ten years with two taels of gold. One tael of gold is equal to ten taels of silver. Twenty taels of silver, according to local prices, is enough for a family of four to spend for ten years. I consider myself fair and reasonable, and I agree with the Frontier on this matter.
Officials from several states have said hello."
Feng Danyuan understood where the money in the Changhe County government office came from.
If what Nanming said is true, this business is really not a scam.
However, just like the disaster relief materials, the difference between what the court allocated and what the people actually received is not a point or two. There is a high probability that the people will not be able to get these two taels of gold.
It goes into the pockets of officials.
But for Nanming, what he wants is manpower and money. He will not pay too much attention to the process.
