Chapter 1739:

Li Cong himself is not an excessive leader. Although Li Cong became very irritable because of Li Yin’s disappearance, Li Cong still did not get angry at the people around him, because he knew that these people around him had done their best. Even the King An in Guangming South City arrived here with Li Cong. The temperature over there is still much higher than here. At this moment, they saw Li Cong’s appearance one by one. I don’t know what to say. These people also know that Li Cong is very painful. The relationship between that young man and Li Cong should be unusual. They all have the same surname, and it seems that they should belong to the same family. Perhaps it should be a relatively important younger member of the family. Several people chose to be silent.
Although the news of Li Cong’s departure from Beijing is very secret, everyone in this gold mine soon learned of the news. They felt that this was a golden opportunity. They could complete it quickly when there was no regent in the imperial capital before. All kinds of things, but since Li left, their life has not been better. These people all understand that it was Li Cong who changed all of these things, although they did not want to believe that these things were Li It’s a very uncomfortable thing that these old aristocrats like Li Cong have to bow their heads with a new aristocrat like Li Cong, but the gold mine involved this time is so huge that they don’t care about face. There is a problem with the above. Now if there is a good chance, if they don’t act, they may have no hope when Li Cong comes back. Therefore, several big families have sent the most capable young children to the gold mine. Now, they want to make this area a fait accompli, and they absolutely cannot give it to Li Cong.
When the Ukawa area had never won so many people before, they had no permanent residents here. Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for several big families to raise enough miners here. This The gold mine site is very large, so it seems that everything here must require a huge number of miners. For these big families, mobilizing tens of thousands of slaves is a very normal thing, but mobilizing slaves to this place It's not normal anymore. The major forces of the empire have extended their eyes to this one after another, and they all know clearly that something unusual must have happened here, otherwise these people will not let the easy life of the imperial capital come to this bird. They come from places where they don’t shit. Some large-scale forces also hope to separate a bit of food from this project, but when they see the combination of this group, they retreat one by one, no matter how great the interests here are. huge. Offending these people is not worth the gain.
Although Li was never in the imperial capital, Li Cong had also confessed to Lao Yang. Moreover, Li Cong thought that Lao Yang was still a little inadequate in some cases, so Suo Ye, an old guy who had been idle at home for a long time, came out. This time, Suo Ye appeared as the chief steward of the Yanping County Prince’s Mansion. Since Long Yun took over, the prefectural palace has not been as beautiful as before. Even with the support of Li Cong, the nobles of this empire treat him not as well as before. Long Yun also knows how this was caused. The seat here is too simple. It was by luck. When Long Lu was in this position, the entire county palace was ranked in the top five among the imperial palaces, but now? The one that is not up to the bottom is just a middle-level palace, which lacks a lot of background. The nobles of the imperial capital do not only depend on your title level when you interact with you. This background is also very important, anyway, there are not many people who respect Long Yun.
"Master Suo, our people have already heard about them. The more than 40,000 miners have already arrived. If we don't take any action, they might start." Yang does not deal with him less often. The impression given to Lao Yang is that Suo is a very difficult person, so at the beginning, Lao Yang told Suo that he is the one to do things, and Suo’s own idea is better for the big thing, but Lao Yang doesn’t quite understand. of.
"Hehe, Lao Yang, stay calm, we are just procrastinating now. And the force we can dispatch is really too little, tell us to use these thousands of people in our hands to fight tens of thousands of guards and tens of thousands of miners, as long as they are Our brains are not rusty yet. I don’t think we will do things like this. Now we can’t face them head-on. The prince is no longer the capital, so we can’t use the army to solve this problem. So we We have to rely on our brains. Naturally, we can’t fight against these people’s ideas, but these workers can’t help their masters dig the entire mine with their hands. If that’s the case, let alone these tens of thousands of people. Even hundreds of thousands of people won’t do it.
Suo Ye touched his beard and said with a smile. This guy really enjoyed his days in the Yanping County Palace, but he also knew that he didn’t offend Li Cong before. Now I can’t offend them even more. In fact, the Yanping County Palace has always been supported by Li Cong. Li Cong’s affairs are much more important than their own affairs. After Li Cong's orders, Suo Ye will Without any delay, after bringing people together with Lao Yang, they followed these miners along the way. The order Li Cong gave them was to buy them one month to two months and let them prepare with all their strength, but Li Cong knows that this arrangement is definitely not as good as before, but it is also very worthwhile to delay the time.
"Master Suo is really a good idea. We have all the news here. These people ordered these tools in the city of Uka County where Ukawa hibernated for 60 miles. They can't be shipped today. It is estimated that tomorrow afternoon. It’s time to be here. I’ll arrange this right away. If Suoye wants to, I don’t think they will ever want to get tools." Lao Yang found a message and said, I’m going to give these things. Snatch it.
"Wait, Lao Yang, things can't be so flustered. Now if we do something, these people will definitely connect us with the prince. Now we can't do such stupid things. People are looking for evidence. If we just send it up like that, we will be the real fools. There is a very powerful bandit nearby, there are more than two thousand people, and I promised them a great promise, as long as they can delay the time. I'll talk about the next thing when the prince returns. These bandits should not have much other abilities, but it is really the right arrangement to ask them to make trouble. The bandits will make trouble, and they don't know anything about other things.
"It's still Suo's thoughtful and thoughtful thing. If I do this, I will probably have to screw it up. Suo, I think it's a bit too thin to just work with them on tools? There are several counties around here. From the city. Their several big families have also come with tens of thousands of private troops. They may not find anything in this short period of time. If the time is long, we really have no chance to stop them." Old Yang was worried about Li Cong. That’s why I said that no matter how capable Suoye is, he is a slave after all. To put it bluntly, this is because I don’t know too much about Suoye, or that he feels a bit too hasty about Li Cong’s decision. Limitations, if things are screwed up, you can follow the shameless together.
"Hehe, Lao Yang, these things are naturally a superficial phenomenon. I have more backs. You think that the prince gave me so much financial and military power. I can only rely on the bandits to let them speed up. Come down, I'm not a waste." Suoye didn't even look at Lao Yang. From Suoye's point of view, even people like Lao Yang are beginning to doubt his abilities. It seems that he is really old. In the past, you shouldn't have made your own life so leisurely. The people below thought that they were already dying, so I will show them this time. No matter if it is the enemy or my own, my Suo master is still the old Suo master. He is still alive. You want to fight against Lao Tzu.
"Yes, what Suoye taught is. The subordinates retire." Old Yang touched the cold sweat on his head and said. After he became the steward of the Regent Palace, no one dared to talk to him like that, but today This person is still a little different from others. This person is Suo Ye, who has served several generations of princes, and those princes are all top people. This can be beneficial to me after studying for two years. Not to mention that I have been with the prince for decades, and I have also been in charge of the palace for decades. This is because I am old and only a small child. If it weren’t for Li Cong to ask for help, Suo Ye would never leave his place of residence.
Suoye does not need others to teach him things, it seems like it is now. In addition to letting the bandits have fun in the past, the most important way is to create a natural environment in this valley. Disasters. If there is such a disaster, it is estimated that they will not be able to settle this matter for a few months. Many people have also said that there has been no natural disaster for a long time, but this thing can be natural disasters or it can be. As long as there is enough power, this can also become a natural disaster. Suoye has already looked for someone to study the terrain here. Recently, it must be a rainy season. If there is not much vegetation, there will definitely be mudslides here. , But now there are densely packed trees on the mountain. This is not a joke. If you want to create a mudslide here, you must cut down trees. It is naturally impossible for Suo Ye to send a large number of people to cut down the trees, but the tree can’t be cut down. If they are all burned, it should be easy, and things can be done with a fire. It should be ok when it is still relatively dry.
The person in charge of this gold mine is the next Patriarch of Ulanala, Yunpeng Ulanala. Although this kid is less than twenty-five years old this year, everyone in the imperial capital mentions this guy. To give his thumbs up, this kid has been the city lord of the county twice in other places. If this is Huaxia on the earth, this is also a department-level cadre, and he has already entered the ranks of high-ranking officials. This time the gold mine is really terrible, so the family called this kid. This is billions of gold coins, definitely not a small amount. Otherwise, Yunpeng would not come back. Yes, in addition to helping the family, the family also promised that the 100 million gold coins in it belonged to this guy himself. The other major families sent out absolute elites among the younger generation, and they all got such promises. They came Naturally, I hope to finish mining here quickly.
In fact, it is impossible for such a huge gold mine to be completed quickly. At least it will take more than ten years or even longer. They come here to make it formal, as long as they are on track. , They don’t need to stay in such a place anymore. After all, they are all spoiled and spoiled. Asking them to live in such a place is not so comfortable. They all want to come back quickly. For them, the imperial capital or the place where he worked. Although money is also very important, it is still very difficult compared to political matters.
"Today is really boring, it's been another day of prospecting. I really don't know when we can do it. When will we be able to dig such a big mountain..." A noble brother came out dirty. Now, this guy is the eldest grandson of Shangshu's family. This kid also studied the ore for a while, and these people knew the importance of this matter. If they were to call their younger brothers and sisters to come, it would be impossible to go to the bottom of the mine to see what was going on. It would be impossible to withstand the sultry situation inside, and what they did was already very good.
"Hehe, work hard. Today we went down and watched it. It was pretty good. At least this mine can start to work. Tomorrow, we can transport tens of thousands of gold coins a day. You know, this is tens of thousands of gold coins a day. Yes. This kind of business is worth a few of us. By the way, where did Yunpeng go? Didn’t we call him our team leader? Why is this kid not here? Where did he go? Go, this kid didn't arrange for us to do coolies. Did you find a place to enjoy yourself?" said another guy who was not very clean.
"Yunpeng? This guy is not an idle goods. He went outside the mountain to receive some tools. Could we ask our tens of thousands of workers to come and clean the whole mountain with their hands? They don't have that ability. I guess this It's time to come back too." said a young man who was responsible for the record from above, and they liked the working atmosphere very much. At least these people around me are doing real things. What I fear most is that a group of people who do serious things will come to a few elder brothers who don't do serious things, so this project will slow down at least by more than a third.
Just as these guys were cursing and preparing to go back, they heard the sound of horses galloping. It was the sound of horses. Something happened. Several people looked outside with ill-faced faces. What will happen now? Could it be that the people from the Regent Palace are here? Impossible, they are not so fast. Besides, this place has already been registered with the court. The ore here is already owned by several of their families. It has nothing to do with the Regent’s Mansion. A few people called hundreds of them. The guard passed towards the gate of the valley to see what was going on.
"General Cui, why are you back, where's Yunpeng?" A kid who came up just now saw a general rushing in with blood in the distance. Something must have happened, otherwise, what happened to this guy? There will be so much blood.
"Something happened. Something happened. We met bandits outside. We were surrounded by them. Although we had a large number of people, we were all coachmen and workers. There were not many combatants. Master Yunpeng took people with us. They are entangled, I came back to move the rescuers, hurry up and take them away, otherwise it will be in trouble." The General Cui simply treated his wounds after dismounting.
One sentence made all the children of the rich family dumbfounded. How could there be such inconspicuous bandits? You must know that this time, the members of their big families are all of the top families in the imperial capital, and they usually come out of such a family. It’s a horrible thing. Several companies have come out this time, that is, the royal family has the ability to fight against Li Cong, and there are also royal shares in this transaction. These bandits are really a little bit of face, why don’t you inquire in advance? Although there are not few bandits in the empire, the vicinity of the imperial capital is still relatively clean, even the bandits in other places are also working in some deep mountains and old forests, but there are none outside. The straight-line distance from the imperial capital is quite close. , Someone would come to rob them, I really don't know how to say it.
"Now is not the time to hesitate, General Cui, you immediately fire up your soldiers and horses to rescue Yunpeng. Those bandits will be wiped out on the spot." Some of these wealthy children are in the army. Of course, you know that the bandits in the empire are all What kind of stuff, when you’re fine, go to the countryside to harass the rich landlord. It’s okay to blackmail two small coins, but if you run into the regular army of the empire, you can only run away. This is also true of Yunpeng. My own guard of hundreds of people is really too confident, this is a wasteland area, but this bandit is really bold. Yunpeng’s transportation team counts tens of thousands of people. I didn’t expect them to work with such a team. Some of Yunpeng’s escorts were tools and not very valuable. I really don’t know if these bandits’ brains are in mind. They are all on their buttocks, and such a person is also doing it, and it seems that they can only be destroyed.
General Cui agreed and immediately led the army out again. This guy is a no-brainer general, and he is capable of fighting. This mind is not good enough. The children of the nobles who are left here have brains. When thinking about it, I feel that something is not right. The domestic bandits rarely provoke such a large-scale flow of people. It was done by someone with a heart, and people like those with a heart began to doubt everywhere, even the guy sitting next to him began to doubt, such a large sum of money, no one can maintain reason. Get rid of them and eat black? Everyone thought about this idea, but they quickly rejected it. Although they are all important young generations in the family, their life and death are no big deal to the whole family, even if they are all dead. , The family will not lose much because of their deaths, at most they will shoot another person over. It is not very likely that they will have infighting now. After all, everyone is on the same boat now. Even if it is to kill people, they have to wait for the gold mine to be mined, right?
"No, Yunpeng took out a few hundred people, and then several thousand people. We only have an army of a few thousand people. If something happens at this time, we will definitely not be able to suppress those slaves. Come on, we will leave immediately. We can’t stay here anymore. Those slaves are our most unstable factor. When there are enough troops to look at them, they are slaves for us. But when there are not enough troops to look at them, those people It's our reminder, hurry up, we have to go hurry up and join Yunpeng, the slaves of tens of thousands of people tell them to be here." The kid who spoke to General Cui just now seemed to want to understand. He stood up and said loudly. His words made the remaining people think of something, and their faces changed greatly.
Slaves are from the bottom. These people have never regarded the lives of slaves as the same thing. If nothing else, these people also have thousands of slaves. There are more than 50,000 slaves gathered here. There were originally more than 10,000 soldiers watching them. All of them were armed with torture instruments and guarded by soldiers. Naturally, these slaves were very honest and would not cause trouble. Originally, a soldier was watching five. A slave, now it’s different. The ratio has dropped by more than half. A soldier has to look at more than a dozen slaves. There will definitely be some invisible places. If nothing happens in this barracks, of course It's the best. If there is any trouble, these people may riot. Thinking of riots, all of them will be dumbfounded.
These noble princes and buddies are also very fast. They must move quickly to the nearest pipeline or military camp or even the county town. If they continue to stay, the danger is too great. Now the slaves don’t know. What happened outside, the people who dealt with them must have a very strong ability, it is impossible to arrange such a thing, there will definitely be various things later, but they are not there anymore. With the ability to control the situation, there is only one dead end left. The son brothers got on their horses and left with their own soldiers, leaving more than 2,000 soldiers looking at the 50,000-thousand slave army. Rebellion is best, but if there is a rebellion, these two thousand people will not even be able to stuff their teeth between the slaves.
The departure of the son-in-law did not cause any huge turmoil. Even some guard soldiers did not know. They also thought that they might have to get off work in two hours before they could take a rest in that dilapidated tent. Being with these slaves, although the smell on my own body is not very good, but the smell on these slaves is even more unpleasant, and there is even a vomiting feeling. These people all follow The dead are almost the same. I really don’t know what they are doing. The soldiers know that there are thousands of cavalry patrolling around here. If a few slaves dare to run out, they will definitely be killed directly. This is definitely not true. It needs to be questioned, he doesn't feel any danger to his work.
Of course, if according to his thinking, there is really no danger now, but if the surrounding conditions change, especially when it can affect the life and death of so many slaves, these slaves without the concept of survival may behave. Out of another instinct to survive. The soldier was bored with the whip in his hand. The dozens of slaves squatting next to him looked at the soldier with a little horror. This guy will take a few people out of his anger when he is okay. There is no way to come to this place. It's so boring, they are all soldiers, not overseers. What these slaves were a little dissatisfied with was the punches and kicks, and the whips didn't know how many were broken. There is no good place in a few slaves at all, and the ones that have been rectified are unclear.
"It's on fire, it's on fire..." Less than an hour after the noble boys left, the mountain burned, and the slaves who were close to the mountain burned up. , This is amazing. These people all looked at the dense forest around them. This is not a joke. The whole mountain is full of woods. If this is really staying here, it will be burnt as black as the wood in a while. These slaves will start yelling to escape. Naturally, these soldiers will not let them get what they want. Although a few soldiers They also looked at the fire in the distance with a little stunned, but they also knew that this must not be a daze here, and now is not the time to be in a daze. Now these damned slaves must be controlled. The soldiers threw away the whips in their hands. At this time, the whips had no effect, and the steel knives in their hands had to be used.
"Asshole, you assholes, all squat down for me. Follow the order one by one. If anyone is disobedient, I will kill you with a single knife." The soldier slashed a slave and said loudly. Very powerful, the dozens of slaves he was in charge of all squatted down honestly. Although he was very scared of the fire a few hundred meters away, he didn't want to be hacked to death by this guy. The guy kills without blinking. When I killed those people just now, my brows were not frowned. They were just a devil. It’s better to be honest with the devil. These brainless soldiers are still here to manage slaves. Look at the brainy soldiers. At this moment, I don’t care how my slaves are. They all ran into the stables for the first time. Suddenly they were dumbfounded. There were so many horses now that there was nothing left, but there were still a few that were not so successful. It’s used, it’s always better than nothing. These people got on their horses one by one and ran out of the valley. They all understood that if the burning continued for a while, there would be black smoke everywhere in the valley. At that time, it started to be confused, and even if I wanted to go out, it was impossible.
In the beginning, under the desperate suppression of these officers and soldiers, there were still many slaves who did not take any radical actions. However, as a large number of soldiers fled, more and more slaves were left unattended. At this time, there were dozens of them. Individuals surround a soldier, even if this soldier has the ability to hack several slaves to death, but in the end? He could not stop the chaos of these slaves. A large number of slaves began to run towards the entrance of the valley. Now it seemed to be an exit from heaven. They all knew very well, as long as they could rush from there. If you go out, you may be saved.
The children of the nobles who were on the run also saw the fire on the mountain. They were very lucky that they had escaped. If you were still inside at this time, the angry slaves would not care if you were an ordinary soldier or a noble. My children, in the eyes of those slaves, these people shouldn't be alive. Now they are all stirred very quickly in their hearts. They are considered to have recovered their lives, but they dare not just rush back to the imperial capital. Go, although it’s not very far from the imperial capital, but who knows if their opponents will do anything to their disadvantage on the road, so one by one, they rushed towards the nearest county town. , I passed several county towns on the road and I didn’t mean to go in. After all, the walls of this county town were still too small to stop anything at all. Or the tall town walls of the county town were more secure. I don’t know if you are tired. That's it.
They saw Yunpeng and General Cui in the middle of the road. The two of them were fine, but when they knew what was going on in the valley, the two of them were also frightened. They didn’t know what to do. They were played by an expert. , First asked Yun Peng and the others to go back and ask for help, and then there were not so many guards in the valley, and then use a fire to get all the slaves out of the valley. Now, even if they continue to go back. It’s impossible to mine, because there are no slaves. Besides, I don’t know what the fire is like inside. You can see the fire there from dozens of miles away. The rest time must be It will not be short, and Yunpeng has no good way. It could only bring these people together and walk towards the imperial capital. Now they have tens of thousands of guards. Returning to the imperial capital is still no problem. I haven't heard of any bandits that can fight against tens of thousands of troops. So Ye's plan is considered to be a preliminary success.
Li Cong in Guangming City was not at all happy when he received this news. Suo's ability to do things Li Cong still believed very much. Even if he was in the imperial capital, he could not do so well, but Suo The Lord used some money to complete this matter. From the beginning to the end, none of his own people showed up, all of them were brought forward by some bandits, of course. It is also necessary to change the name to find a killer organization to kill all the bandits who came into contact with him. It is nothing more than the loss of some money. Compared with the gold mine, this loss is nothing.
Li Cong hadn't eaten anything for a day. Li Cong didn't say a word during this day. He stood on the wall and looked at the darkness in the distance. He was waiting for some equipment. Some equipment that can move in the polar regions. These things have been found on the earth, and some modifications are being made. They can be here through the teleportation array in two hours at the earliest. Li Cong must go there in person. He believes With his own ability, he can definitely find his son in that valley. Live to meet people, die... Li Cong trembled when he thought of the word. His son was so young and could not be so gone. It was really difficult for Meng Tian to stand behind Li Cong. Imagine that Li must have thought of something from this moment. Otherwise it won't tremble.
"My lord, the savage territory is different from ours. It is common for people to freeze to death in winter in this place. The bear king also said just now that if they are not careful, they can still be frozen to death. This year's Winter is not the same as other winters. It is even more powerful. I think you still don’t go out. Let’s just wait for the news in Guangming City. The Bear King has already contacted the people of the Mountain Clan, and the Mountain Clan’s winter activities The ability is very strong. They are good at moving in the mountains. Sooner or later they will enter the valley." Meng Tian knew that he might not be useful if he said it, but he would still feel uncomfortable if he did not say it. Li Cong’s ability is very powerful. He can face the Queen of Snake alone, and he can also defeat the Beacon Behemoth. But this time the enemy is God. It is impossible to defeat this in Meng Tian’s heart. No matter which person confronts Li Cong. How important it is to go out at this time is irrational.
"Meng Tian, ​​that person is... my son. I have kept a lot of secrets from you all the time. Now I have to tell you. I am depressed too much. I haven't relaxed myself for a moment. I’m afraid I might not be able to stand up if I relax myself. I only have two sons. This is the youngest son. If I lose him, I will..." No matter how strong people are, they will have times when they are weak. At this time Li Cong of Li Cong is that, from the time he started his fortune to the present, he was not as fragile in his heart. This is the first time. It seems that when his son is involved, it will change.
"Ah...?" Meng Tian didn't expect such a result. He once thought that the young man should be a junior in Li Cong's family, but he never thought that the young man was Li Cong's son. There are a lot of things to say, but now I can’t say a word, also, if my son had something like that, I would do it that way. Although I don’t have the ability of Li Cong, but if I don’t do it. I will never feel at ease for the rest of my life.
"I really hate that my own energy is too small. If I am really as capable as you, I really want to go out with you." Meng Tian said helplessly. At this time, it seems that he and Li Cong are not in a superior relationship. It's like a pair of friends, Li Cong sees it the same way.
"Haha, good brother, I know this. You didn’t make a fuss to go with me. This shows that you have matured a lot. You are still needed here. Although I didn’t care much when I came here, I can see that this winter It will definitely not be calm. In the past, if the savage winter was normal, humans would be normal, but if the savage winter was very cold and the snow was very heavy, the war of that year was very serious. Great, because these people of the savage race don’t have anything to eat, they will work harder. They know that they won’t be able to survive when they return. It’s better to die on the battlefield, or if they don’t die, they can enter the human race. The territory has been robbed, and the assistance to the bear king must not be stopped. When necessary, they must be our advance team. In winter, we humans cannot even get out of the house." Li Cong said with some worry, the winter here is like the Antarctic on earth, fighting in such an environment? Don't even think about it.
Hearing Li Cong's words, Meng Tian felt a little relieved. Li Cong seemed to have become the original strategist prince again.
"Yes, I also talked to King Bear about this issue, but this guy wants too much. He wants 10 million pigs and millions of other animals. These things in our northern province are basically There will be no more on it. If it is shipped from the south, it may increase our costs.
Meng Tian said with some embarrassment. Because of the large number of military purchases, the price of pork within the empire has already begun to rise. There have been several protests, and Prince Gong has tried his best to suppress it, but it is not a good way to suppress it. Raising a bear clan is not the same as raising an army. The army alone is half a catty a day or One catty of meat is enough. These bear people don’t eat noodles. As long as they eat meat, more than 20 catties of meat a day are not enough for them. Especially those high-ranking officials, they can eat even more powerfully. The bear king himself had a pig in a day, and he didn't know how this guy ate it. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly pass. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
