Chapter 347
"Okay." Mingruo nodded seriously.
After a while, the door of the private room next door was opened from the outside, and a man wrapped in a black robe from head to toe walked in. Judging from his height, he should be a man. But he was wearing a hood on his head and a half-bone white mask on his face. With this look, Mingruo thought he was cosplaying Voldemort.
Si Haochen put his index finger on his lips and made a gesture of silence towards Mingruo. Seeing Mingruo responding, pressing the mechanism next to the landscape painting, the sound of the next room came immediately. Mingruo felt that they were talking in the private room here-
"This is Yongye City, not Donghuan Emperor Capital. The Fifth Prince is too cautious." Feng Muyuan said with a little teasing in his tone.
"As the saying goes, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years." Although the man in black could not see the face, Mingruo could still hear the voice. It was indeed the fifth prince of the "sick girl".
The fifth prince Si Jian wrapped himself in this way, although he was indeed afraid that people would see this layer. But the most important thing was to guard against Feng Muyuan. Who wouldn't know that the people of Xikang are good at poisonous poisons, especially those insects, which make people unable to defend against.
"Fifth Prince, please sit down." Feng Muyuan asked Si Yan to sit down, and politely received a cup of tea for him.
This tea Sitang was afraid to drink it, so he didn't talk much nonsense and went straight to the topic: "I want the map of the jade mine, what are the conditions for the Yuan King?"
"This... I really don't want to hand over the map. In fact, the affairs of the jade mine are all under the control of three drug experts. Now, I have lost contact with the three drug experts, and I don't know the specific situation." Feng Muyuan did have the entrance to the jade mine, and even the lane map below, but how could he easily let go of the fat in his mouth?
When the Evil Ghost Alliance selected a station in the suburbs of Beijing and dug caves, they accidentally discovered the jade vein. Si Tang knew that there were many mines in Xikang and many craftsmen were proficient in this. The owner of the Evil Ghost Alliance border town station had close contact with Feng Muyuan, so Si Tang asked the owner to connect with him and found some skilled craftsmen from Xikang to go to Donghuan to mine, so that he could produce jade as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Feng Muyuan opened his mouth wide and sent out ten craftsmen to guide the mine to dig, but asked 10% of the jade material produced by the jade ore as a reward.
At that time, Si Yan had never opened a jade mine and did not know that the initial investment was a bottomless pit, so he agreed. Later, he invested hundreds of thousands of taels of silver one after another, and found that Feng Muyuan was very cunning-
Not to mention that Feng Muyuan only produces craftsmen, the real workers are brought by Si Jian. Just say that only seven of the ten craftsmen know how to dig a mine, and the remaining three are poisoners, just to prevent him from kicking him out when he waits for the mine to produce jade materials.
The jade mine was in the stronghold of the Evil Ghost Alliance. In order to restrain each other, Si Tang did not tell Feng Muyuan how to enter the stronghold of the Evil Ghost Alliance, and Feng Muyuan did not tell Si Tang the entrance of the mine.
The current situation is that both of them knew that there was a jade mine there. Feng Muyuan didn't know how to enter the mine, and Si Yan didn't know how to go down the mine. He invested huge mines in the early stage, but now he could only throw them there like a barren mountain. Si Yan felt so painful, and Feng Muyuan was also unwilling to accept it.
The mine is near the Emperor's Capital of Donghuan. No matter how long his hands are, he can't reach there. Feng Muyuan thought for a moment and said, "I will send ten craftsmen who are proficient in mining and ten craftsmen who are carving jade to make them. They still need one piece of jade material."
Feng Muyuan now has a huge expense for recruiting soldiers and horses, so naturally the more money you make, the better.
Si Jian sneered in his heart, and I don’t know how many drug technicians he would have to be supervising workers at that time: “half-finished.”
Even if he gave half a year of Silang, he felt it was not worth it, but he also urgently needed money and could not afford it.
"It's too little half of it..." Feng Muyuan scratched his chin.
"I have already smashed hundreds of thousands of silver into the mountain, and the Yuan King only gave me a man..." Si Jian sighed, "You and I are both people who are planning big things, so don't worry about these small things."
"What the Fifth Prince said is, then that's it." Feng Muyuan's calculations were deeper. When it comes to identifying jade materials, their Xikang craftsmen are experts. Even if they only have half a share of them, he will have some methods to get 30% of the value.
"Then let it be decided. King Yuan asked the craftsmen to take the map to the imperial capital as soon as possible. It is best to wait until Uncle Yun returned to Beijing. Otherwise, 30,000 Northwest troops will be stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and any movement will be easily exposed."
"Okay." Feng Muyuan was also very afraid of Prince Dong Huanyun.
This time, Xikang and Beichi joined forces, although they had their own plans, they also had detailed plans. I don’t expect that Prince Yun was too powerful. In just over a month, he drove the Beichi army north of Hulan River and seized two cities. With such courage and combat ability, even if he wanted to seize the Beichi royal court, it would not be too difficult.
Facing a powerful opponent, you can only unite more people: "The Evil Ghost Alliance was kicked out of Donghuan in shame. If you don't take revenge, the other Three Kingdoms will probably follow suit..."
The Yuan King's words were really unpleasant. He really didn't open any pot. Si Yan's hand was tighter and tighter in his sleeves, and he said in a deep voice: "I am also waiting for instructions from Zhongzhou."
When Feng Muyuan heard the word "Zhongzhou", he felt a little less contemptuous in his expression. If he could also get along with the line "Zhongzhou", would he be worried about whether the big thing would be accomplished?
"I have something to do, so let's go first." The fifth prince stood up and left.
Feng Muyuan slowly drank a cup of tea, opened the window and looked downstairs, then left with a folding fan.
A friend entered the private room to clean up. Si Haochen pressed the mechanism and the landscape painting turned back to its original state. Mingruo reached out and touched the location of the "lake water", which was no different from other places.
"Haha, I want to know how it was done?" Si Haochen sat down at the table with Ming Ruo's hand.
Ming Ruo shook his head, just thinking that the ancients were really smart, which was comparable to surveillance cameras.
"This trip to Yongye City has gained a lot. I didn't expect Lao Wu to have contact with people from Zhongzhou." Si Haochen clasped the table with great interest.
Mingruo's understanding of Zhongzhou is only limited to what he saw in the book. The book depicts it as if it is a fairyland on earth, but Zhongzhou is surrounded by the sea and there is a sea formation on the sea. If he does not have the guidance of the sea formation diagram and rashly enters the sea formation, it will definitely be a journey but no return.
"Didn't it mean that without the sea formation map, Zhongzhou and the four countries cannot communicate?" Mingruo supported his chin with his hands.
"Every year in late summer and early autumn, the fog at sea dissipates, and seabirds or experienced boatmen can barely tell the direction and make some contact.
"Then, who has the final say in Zhongzhou now?" Mingruo blinked his big eyes.
"The four major families of Helian, Beigong, Chunyu and Qidiao are relatively powerful, and most other small families will choose to rely on them." Si Haochen answered casually.
