Although this other world does not have any advanced technology, iron ore, oil, sulfur and other items are necessary for each dynasty. Whoever has more is the bigger brother, such as the Liang Yan Dynasty. "The land is vast and the resources are abundant" is not just talk.
It really has this strength. But no matter how strong it is, iron ore is not a renewable resource and the annual output is very average. Then this is a problem.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xue subconsciously looked towards the kang. The direction of the window was the direction of Mopan Mountain. Coupled with Li Hui's clever way of pretending to be stunned, it was not difficult to guess the reason.
"Okay, it's good that you know what's going on, but it would be better if things like this today are rare in the future. I'm afraid my heart will be overloaded and I'll die young."
She was really scared just now, especially when she saw Li Hui being carried back. If she hadn't pinched herself immediately, she would have been the one lying on the kang right now.
After hearing this, Li Hui wiped his face for a moment, then put down the handkerchief with a "hmm" and hugged the person in his arms.
"I'm sorry for making you worry. I promise it won't happen again. When I get back, I will use the excuse of 'bomb injury' to take a good rest for a few days and spend time with you and the child."
"No, I and the children don't need you to accompany me. You might as well take this opportunity to establish yourself as a person of 'diligence and love for the people'. I can also use this as an excuse to go to the Yamen at noon to give you something good."
He is the parent officer of Fucheng in the north, and everyone cares about his every move. Previously, he sent people to deliver meals at noon, and they were all in good order. He didn't dare to deliver too much for fear of being gossiped about. Now it's okay, and I can give him whatever I want, just to make up for it.
, to avoid being physically overwhelmed when you go out for inspections.
Li Hui was not a fool. When he saw her saying this, he felt warm in his heart.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
Cheng Xue took the handkerchief and asked while cleaning it:
"By the way, how did you fool Yongxi and the others? Were you not pinched after you were unconscious?"
As soon as he finished speaking, you could clearly see Li Hui's face changing, and he was quite angry.
"What happened? Did they touch you?"
This position in the human zodiac must not be chosen casually. I think it must be very hard for him to endure it.
Just when she was thinking about it——
"Wen Tian, that bastard, agreed to let him touch the sleeping point, but he deliberately teased me. Apart from being unable to move, I felt all the other things. My dear, please don't let him get into my hands."
"Pfft - uh... I'm sorry, hehe... hahaha..."
Unable to bear it anymore, Cheng Xue laughed heartily.
I knew they were in love and killed each other, but I didn't expect Wen Tian to be so naughty. I wiped the black spot under Li Hui's nose clean, and it turned out to be red and swollen.
The laughter in the room soon alerted Yongxi who was waiting outside the door. The young man ignored the rules and opened the door directly to enter the room.
"Madam, is the master awake? Can my subordinate come in?"
"Wake up, wake up, come in."
Cheng Xue responded subconsciously, then thought that he shouldn't be here, said "Huh", changed the subject and asked:
"That's not right. Didn't you and the eldest young master go to the mountain to pick up Master Wen?"
When Yongxi came in and saw Li Hui's half-black and half-white face, he hurriedly lowered his head and saluted——
"Replying to Madam, Shunxi and Wenxi went with the eldest young master, and my subordinates will stay here."
Li Hui felt something was wrong, so he leaned in front of the basin and said:
"What expressions are you two looking at? Is there anything on my face?"
When I finished speaking, I happened to see a patch of black and a patch of white on my face. I said "ouch" and took a sip of water to wash my face.
Such a wonderful coincidence, God bless them.
After making sure there was no dirt at all, he wiped his face and asked again:
"What's going on on the mountain? Has it been captured yet?"
"Back to my lord, the situation on the mountain has been brought under control. Just now, my subordinates saw Deputy Commander Sui leading the team to leave first. I think Coach Xiao and the others are dealing with the aftermath," Yongxi replied.
Cheng Xue knew they had something to talk about, so she put the handkerchief back into the basin and left with it.
The sun was shining brightly at noon, and I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but I actually felt that it was not as cold as in the past. I turned around and looked at the location of Mopan Mountain. If the iron mine was really in the mountain, then the Su family and the Gu family in the capital would not be able to eat.
gone.
Guarding such a cornucopia, she did not believe that the two families could be honest. But what was going through her mind when she betrayed her own dynasty for money? The country was gone, and what was the use of having more money? If they were enslaved by foreigners, then
Are you happy?
"Mom, how is my father?"
"Mom, is dad awake?"
The voices of the two sisters interrupted her thoughts. Looking at the anxious faces of the two girls, Cheng Xue shook her head.
"Don't worry, your dad is fine. He is talking to Yongxi in the room right now. Is the pie ready? Have you two eaten?"
As expected, the two children shook their heads. Cheng Xue pinched their little faces and said:
"Good boy, your father is fine now. You and your mother will go to the kitchen to have lunch later. Tangtang, go to Sidan's room and call your brother Yixin."
"No need, Mom, I just asked Bai Zhi to send it to Brother Yixin." Li Yue replied.
"Mom, after the pies are baked, Big Meng will bring them to the mountain. They are all freshly baked in the kitchen. Mom, let's eat them while they're hot." Li Tian added.
Big Meng's name is Pang Meng, he is the underboss of the Huotou Military Camp and the one who will be responsible for the big pot of rice in the military camp in the future.
"Since they have all eaten, let's go eat too. Mom is hungry."
"I'm hungry too."
"And me, and me."
Looking at Li Tian who was jumping away, Cheng Xue smiled and hugged one of them, and went straight to the kitchen. The shrimp skin and egg drop soup was just coming out of the pot, and Li Yue asked Bai Zhi to fill out a small basin and prepare to take it to his father. Everyone heard that the master was fine, so they all put down their hands.
Heart comes.
"Mom, let's go back to the room and eat with dad." Li Tian suggested in a low voice.
She has been close to her father since she was a child, but now that her biological father has been reborn after a catastrophe, she really wants to go and take a look.
Cheng Xue could understand her thoughts, but she smiled and shook her head.
"You and your sister take a look when you go to deliver the food, and come out immediately after delivery. Your father and Yongxi still have something to say, so don't disturb them."
"Well, okay, I understand." Li Tian nodded heavily and began to busy loading plates and bowls.
There was a large basin reserved for each filling in the pie, which was enough for them to eat. After the two children brought the food out, Cheng Xue called Bai Wei and others over. The kitchen here is not big, and eating together can save time, and it is also easier to talk.
It will be convenient.
"After lunch, Baizhu went to set up the car and sent the master, second lady, and young master back. Tell Bai Shao at home, Tiandong, don't worry about this."
"What about Madam, where are you, the eldest lady, and the eldest young master?" Bai Shu asked.
"The three of us won't leave yet. The situation on the mountain is not clear yet, so we have to stay as a precaution. But it shouldn't take too long, so you go back first, and I will be able to follow you soon." Cheng Xue said what she was thinking.
.
Bai Shu and Bai Wei exchanged glances, and finally nodded in agreement.
"Don't worry, Madam, I will definitely send you home safely."
