As soon as Diao Chan walked into the bedroom, a strong smell of alcohol suddenly came to her face, and then she saw Chen Chu lying on the couch, and the quilt had been kicked down.

Diao Chan hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the quilt, covered it with Chen Chu again, and then sat next to the couch, looking at Chen Chu who was already asleep with a smile. At this moment, Diao Chan's heart was filled with tenderness.

At this time, Zhen Mi brought the water to the couch and put it down. She didn't know what to do next and was stunned.

Then he showed a malicious smile.

Zhen, who was sitting on the steps at the door, was waiting anxiously, suddenly heard the sound of the door, and quickly turned around and looked at her daughter Zhen Mi, furiously running out with flushed cheeks.

Seeing that her mother was at the door, Zhen Mi was so panicked that she couldn't express herself in words. Her mood was like a child who had done something bad, and she was suddenly caught by her parents.

"Mother, mother." Zhen Mi called out with a restless look, and Zhen's head hung low.

Zhen came to her daughter, looked up and down for a while, then looked surprised. It turned out that Zhen found that although her daughter looked shy, her clothes were very neat and there was nothing unusual.

He couldn't help asking, "Mi'er, weren't you with your lord just now...?"

Although Zhen Mi is still young, she is smart and delicate. Seeing her mother's strange expression, how could she not know what her mother was asking. So she shook her head and said, "No, no." Zhen Mi's words seemed very chaotic in panic.

Zhen couldn't help but be even more surprised, so he continued to ask: "Who is that lord with just now..."

Zhen Mi couldn't help but think of the shameful scene just now, and her cheeks, which had recovered a little, suddenly turned red again.

"Yes, it's Mrs. Diao Chan!" Zhen Mi replied in a low voice with her head hanging down and her hands twisted the corners of her clothes.

Zhen was stunned for a moment, then asked in confusion: "Lord and Madam..., then what are you doing inside?"

......

"I, I,..." Zhen Mi didn't know how to answer in panic. The anxious Zhen Mi looked helpless and cute.

Chen Chu felt his nose itchy, and suddenly sneeze and woke up. It turned out that Diao Chan was tickling him with her hair.

The door was opened with a creaking sound and then gently covered.

Chen Chu took a deep breath, and the refreshing morning air poured into his lungs made Chen Chu feel particularly comfortable.

After washing up, Chen Chu came to the pavilion in the backyard, and a servant delivered breakfast. Chen Chu sat in the pavilion and listened to the singing of the morning birds and ate breakfast. This was a pleasant enjoyment. Breakfast was very simple, it was soy milk, steamed buns and pickles. Chen Chu only ate these things in the morning, which was a habit he developed in his previous life, but this changed a taste in his subordinates' eyes. The subordinates all sincerely lamented that their lord was so thrifty! Haha, this was unexpected by Chen Chu.

After staying in the pavilion for a while, four graceful figures appeared. Diao Chan, who was a woman, looked red and had a little difficulty in her steps. Zhang Rui supported her; Zhang Rui's expression seemed very calm, but Chen Chu carefully noticed a hint of bitterness in Zhang Rui's eyes; Zhen's mother and daughter followed behind the two girls with a cautious look. When the cute little Zhen Mi found Chen Chu looking at her, her pretty face turned red and she hurriedly lowered her head.

The four girls came to the pavilion, and the capable servant immediately delivered the breakfast to the pavilion as if it was priced.

Diao Chan and Zhang Rui sat down next to Chen Chu. At this moment, Diao Chan seemed to have a hint of mature charm, which made Diao Chan, who was already shy of the moon, even more unparalleled in color.

Diao Chan looked at Chen Chu with shame and charm, and then drank soy milk very delicately. Zhang Rui didn't look at Chen Chu, so she picked up the steamed bun on the plate and bit it hard. I wonder what she regarded the steamed bun as?

The Zhen family and the daughter stood behind Diao Chan and Zhang Rui respectively. Xiao Zhen Mi peeked at Chen Chu and Diao Chan from time to time, her cheeks were red, making her look particularly cute.

Seeing that Zhang Rui didn't even look at her, Chen Chu could not understand that Zhang Rui was playing tricks on her at this moment. So Chen Chu leaned into Zhang Rui's ear and whispered.

Zhang Rui, who was biting the steamed bun hard, immediately blushed her cheeks and glared at Chen Chu in shame and annoyed.

Chen Chu laughed, looking a little proud in his laughter.

At this moment, the iron guard led the two of them over. These two were Gong Deng and Gong Lu.

"Greetings to the lord! Meetings to the two ladies!" The two elders saluted Chen Chu and the two women respectfully.

"The two elders don't have to be too polite! Please get up quickly!" Then Chen Chu asked the two elders to sit down on their right, while Zhang Rui, who was originally sitting on Chen Chu's right, turned to Diao Chan.

Chen Chu first exchanged greetings with the two elders for a while, and then talked about Leping's various things.

Before he knew it, Chen Chu finished his breakfast.

"Let's go to the Huxiaoshan Mine today!" Chen Chu looked at the two elders with a consulting gaze. The two elders hurriedly said, "Please follow the lord to go!"

Chen Chu nodded, then ordered Dian Wei, who was standing outside the pavilion, and said, "Come on bad terms, prepare the carriage and horse."

"Yes." Dian Wei Hongsheng...

Yingnuo and then quickly retreated.

At this time, Chen Chu turned around and said to the two girls next to him: "Chan'er is not in good health, Rui'er, please stay with him."

Diao Chan's cheeks turned red and she whispered: "I'm fine, my sister should accompany her elder brother!"

At this time, Zhang Rui said, "How can that work! I'd better stay here and talk to my sister!"

Diao Chan lowered her head and didn't speak anymore.

...

Today, the autumn is clear and sunny, and the dry and gentle autumn wind gently blew the yellowed weeds.

A team of hundreds of people rode out from the north gate of Leping County on horseback and headed towards the Tiger Roaring Mountain a hundred miles away without any haste. Chen Chu was in this team, with Deng Gong Lu and more than a dozen county officials following, and followed Chen Chu immediately by the giant man Dian Wei at the critical moment.

The group chatted and walked. As the evening approached, the group arrived at Hu Xiaoshan.

Everyone in Hu Xiaoshan who had already received the news were greeted by the mountain.

A few quarters of an hour later, Chen Chu was surrounded by everyone and went up to Huxiao Mountain. However, it was one night, so Chen Chu had to decide to rest for one night in front of Huxiao Mountain and inspect the next day.

The officials in charge of Hu Xiaoshan affairs vacate the best houses for Chen Chu to rest. This is the small courtyard where the bandit leaders of Hu Xiaoshan lived in the past.

After chatting with everyone, Chen Chu rested early.

At the same time, in Leping, Zhang Rui and Diao Chan were talking in the room. Diao Chan asked Zhang Rui curiously: "Sister, what did the elder brother say in your ear this morning?"

Zhang Rui's cheeks suddenly turned red and hesitated, and she couldn't explain it clearly for a long time.

Diao Chan was considered a person who had experienced it. When she saw Zhang Rui's humble expression, she guessed a little in her heart. So her cheeks couldn't help but turn red.

The next day, Chen Chu went to the back mountain accompanied by everyone. Before he could even arrive, he could hear the loud noise and couldn't help but feel curious.

After a while, everyone came to the edge of the mining area. At this moment, Chen Chu and his team were located on a stone platform with a low cliff. In front of them was a small basin. There were many houses at the bottom of the basin, and there were many houses on the hillsides on the north and south and east sides of the basin. However, these houses were better than houses at the bottom of the valley.

On the west side of the basin is a cliff. A cable car is fixed on the cliff. There are pulley trucks on the cable car. The mined ore is installed on the pulley car, and then slides along the cable car to the side of the official road at the foot of the mountain. The loud noise Chen Chu heard just now was the sound of the pulley car sliding downward.

Chen Chu nodded and exclaimed: "It's really good! Who came up with this pulley truck?"

A simple-looking middle-aged man next to him buckled the back of his head and smiled honestly: "This is what we all came up with together!"

At this time, Mr. Deng shouted: "Liu Er, why are you so rude? Hurry up and salute to your lord!" It turned out that Liu Er was standing so straight when he spoke.

Liu Er was startled and knelt on the ground and begged pitifully: "Lord, I am a countryman, I don't understand the rules, I forgive my sins!"

Chen Chu smiled, helped Liu Er up, patted Liu Er on the shoulder, and said warmly: "It's okay!" After a pause, Chen Chu asked: "How much ore can be transported to the foot of the mountain at a time?"

This time, Liu Erxue became smart, and he clumsyly clasped his fists at Chen Chu and said, "Report to the lord, this car can transport a thousand kilograms of ore in one car!"

Then Liu Er continued to say with a look of frustration: "It's a pity that the ore produced every day is not enough for cable cargo!"

Chen Chu nodded, he was not surprised by this. If it was enough to transport the cable car, the daily output would be at least 100,000 kilograms. If so, Chen Chu would be dizzy.
