Chai Yan patted the dust on his clothes, tidied it up a little, and then walked to the chair.
"Elder Sang Mu, please take a seat," Chai Yan said with a smile.
Then, Chai Yan and Sang Mu sat down one after another, and they kept looking at each other with smiles on their faces.
After a while, Sang Mu asked: "How did Mr. Chai know that we are here?"
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "I actually don't know, but I just went to Baolezhai and didn't find Mr. Dan. I passed by here on the way back and happened to bump into him. It was a coincidence..."
Sha'er Zidan hurriedly asked: "Master Chai, are you looking for me?"
Chai Yan smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes! I was looking for you just now, but now, I am looking for Elder Sang Mu."
As he spoke, Chai Yan looked back at Sang Mu.
Sha'er Zidan now understood Chai Yan's purpose, so he also looked at his grandfather.
Sang Mu looked at Chai Yan for a short while, then said in a slightly lower voice: "Master Chai, even if you come to lobby in person, I will not meet with Chang Shilang!"
"Elder Sang Mu, can you tell me why?" Chai Yan asked calmly.
Sang Mu frowned slightly and said seriously: "To be honest with Mr. Chai, I have already guessed what Chang Shilang wants to meet with me to discuss. It is nothing more than the issue of gold vein mining in Lintai Mountain, right?"
Chai Yan nodded and smiled: "Yes, Elder Sang Mu is really good at predicting things!"
Sang Mu chuckled, shook his head, and continued: "Master Chai, if it's about mining Lintai Mountain, then you should talk to Hanuo or An Huai. Why do you want to talk to a useless old man like me?
?”
Chai Yan immediately said: "How can Elder Sang Mu say that? You are an elder who is always strong and always responds to every call!"
"Hahaha..." Sang Mu suddenly raised his head and laughed, saying: "Master Chai really knows how to make an old man like me happy, hahaha..."
"Hahaha, I'm not trying to trick you, I'm telling the truth!" Chai Yan also laughed.
The next moment, Sang Mu's laughter stopped abruptly and he said seriously: "Master Chai, you have also seen that none of the clan elders that I invited today, old man, came to the banquet. Is this worthy of being called a hundred responses?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Sha'er Zidan couldn't help but feel the fire rising in his heart.
Chai Yan waved his hand slightly and replied solemnly: "The Sang Mu Presbyterian Church misunderstood. When I said one call and one hundred responses, I did not mean to address those elders..."
"Oh?" Sang Mu asked in surprise: "Who is that for?"
Chai Yan blurted out: "Of course it is to the miners and craftsmen below!"
Sang Mu frowned and thought for a while, then asked in a deep voice: "Master Chai, what do you mean by saying this?"
Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Chai Yan ignored it and said solemnly: "Elder Sang Mu, the output of the Yuntai Mountain gold mine is decreasing day by day, and it is already showing signs of exhaustion. In other words, thousands of
The Youlong miners in the future will have no mines to mine and no income to support their families! Have you never thought about taking precautions to avoid that day coming?"
After hearing this, Sang Mu's expression became more solemn, and he was silent for a moment before asking: "How to avoid it?"
Chai Yan said solemnly: "Removed from the Youlong clan and became an official directly under the imperial court, mining for the country and managing the new mining area in Lintai Mountain!"
Sha'er Zidan suddenly looked horrified: "Remove your citizenship!?"
Sang Mu was also very surprised, but his expression remained very calm.
"Master Chai, do you know what you are talking about?" Sang Mu stared into Chai Yan's eyes.
Chai Yan did not hide, but looked at each other and said: "Of course I know what I am talking about! Elder Sang Mu, you should know best in your heart why the Youlong tribe can obtain huge privileges from the imperial court?"
"Why? I would like to hear Mr. Chai's opinion!" Sang Mu asked knowingly.
"Because of the gold!" Chai Yan said seriously, and then said: "If it weren't for the gold, Elder Sang Mu, what do you think is there about the Youlong clan that deserves such a great privilege from the imperial court?"
Although Sha'er Zidan felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, after thinking about it carefully, Chai Yan was right. The Youlong clan's status was obtained by gold.
Sang Mu didn't answer, he just looked at Chai Yan with a frown, listening to what else he had to say.
Chai Yan paused for two breaths, then took a breath and continued: "In the near future, Yuntai Mountain will be completely depleted. On that day, the Youlong people, except for those who are good at mining and smelting gold, will face the test of survival issues!
I would like to ask Elder Sang Mu, don’t you plan and plan for your family and future generations?”
Sang Mu asked in a deep voice: "Master Chai, according to your opinion, you must leave your own tribe. Is that called planning and planning?"
Sha'er Zidan also said: "Yes, why must it be like this? We can continue to help the imperial court mine the gold mines in Lintai Mountain as before."
Chai Yan shook his head without hesitation: "Impossible!"
"Why?" Shaer Zidan asked.
Chai Yan replied extremely seriously: "Our new emperor, who is about to ascend the throne, has very different thoughts from the previous emperor!"
Sha'er Zidan didn't understand the meaning of these words, so he had to look at his grandfather with confusion in his eyes.
Sang Mu looked at Chai Yan's expression, his heart trembled, and he suddenly realized something.
Suddenly, Chai Yan stood up, looked at Sang Mu's face and said, "Elder Sang Mu, you must take a longer view and don't live for the sake of the present!"
After saying that, Chai Yan walked towards the door.
The present coercion......
Sang Mu was hit in a painful spot by this sentence, and the suppressed anger in his heart instantly burned.
Chai Yan had already reached the door during this gap. Before reaching out to open the door, he turned back to Sang Mu and said: "Elder Sang Mu, Mr. Chang is very much looking forward to meeting you... Also, where do I live?
Mr. Dan knows."
After saying this, Chai Yan opened the door of the private room with both hands and strode out.
The tribesmen guarding the outside were startled by Chai Yan's sudden appearance and immediately surrounded him.
Chai Yan looked calm, put his hands behind his waist, and stood in front of people with his head held high: "Please give in."
The next moment, Sang Mu's voice came from the room: "Let him go."
Then, Sha'er Zidan walked out and motioned with his eyes to everyone to get out of the way.
Chai Yan smiled and nodded at Sha'er Zidan, then strode through the crowd, went downstairs and left.
When Chai Yan disappeared, Sha'er Zidan hurried back to the room and said: "Grandpa, we..."
Sang Mu raised his hand to block Sha Er Zidan's words, and then muttered: "Grandson, you go out first, grandpa wants to be alone..."
Sha'er Zidan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and silently exited the room.
