Yuan Fang smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is absolutely no such possibility, this airship is different from ours, it is a civilian airship transferred from the Plum Blossom Chamber of Commerce, the cabin and the wheelhouse are separated, and the passengers in the cabin can't see anything." As for why we did this, hehe, we've found a treasure this time. Yu Jingqiu was even more puzzled.

Yang Xing smiled and explained, "Sister Jingqiu, look here. ”

Yu Jingqiu looked at the place where Yang Xing pointed, there was a small border mountain village, Yu Jingqiu frowned and said, "Here, what's wrong here?" ”

Yang Xing's face was full of excitement and said: "Today, when you were negotiating, the boss received news that Luo Siping had discovered a fog stone mine in a small village on the outskirts of Tianyu County. ”

Yu Jingqiu was stunned when he heard this, and then said in disbelief: "Foggy stone mine? Really? ”

Yuan Fang said with a solemn expression: "I can't be sure about this, but Fourth Brother Luo said in the letter that he has determined that it is a foggy stone mine, and the area is not small." I have already sent Xiaoyun to check, and it is estimated that there will be definite news in three or four days. ”

Yuan Fang looked at Yang Xing: "Regardless of whether this news is true or not, we have to prepare in advance, Yang Xing, what are you going to do?" ”

Yang Xing thought for a while and said: "Although the Yuanhe Empire has compensated us for that place, after all, it has been ruled by the Yuanhe Empire for many years, and the people there may not accept us for a while, in order to prevent the news from leaking, I plan to move the people over there to our Beizhou, so that they can settle down over there, as for the people of that village, most of them know about the fog and stone, these people have to be strictly controlled." As for the fog stone mine, we will first build a large military base there, you see, this place is just the handover of the two countries of Ningyuan, Yuan and Yuanhe, and it is natural to build a base here, it will not attract attention, and then, we will secretly mine until all the reserves of the fog stone mine are dug up. ”

Yuan Fang nodded and said, "Well, that's the best, that's what I mean, but who should I send over?" And where do you find miners for mining? The fog stone can be kept secret or kept secret, and it should not be leaked out as much as possible, so the miner's business is a bit difficult. ”

Yang Xing didn't have a good way to do this, the mining of the foggy stone mine in the empire used the local people, these people were guarded by the defenders there, and they were forbidden to contact with the outside world, but the residents there couldn't leave the village, their lives were still the same, and it was better than before, they had nothing to disagree with, but the foggy stone mine found by the Yuan and the empire was different, one is that it is on the border of the three kingdoms, once the news is leaked, it will definitely trigger the crazy robbery of the Yuan and the empire and the rather empire, Therefore, the secrecy work must be cautious, and the local residents cannot use it, so they can only send other people over, but where can they find so many people? Most of the people are reluctant to leave their homes, and even if the best conditions are offered, there may be some people who are willing to go over for a good salary, but what about after a long time? Will these people be willing to stay there forever and not be able to see their families?

Yu Jingqiu probably understood what the two meant, thought for a while and proposed, "Your Majesty, brother-in-law, can we use those prisoners of war?" For example, the prisoners of war of the Liusang Empire, most of them don't understand our language, so it should be easier to keep it secret, and we don't have to think about freedom or anything. ”

Yuan Fang's eyes lit up: "Well, there is no need to pay wages, this method is good." ”

Yang Xing frowned and said, "But the terms of the negotiation clearly stipulate that we want to return the prisoners of war of the Liusang Empire, and we can't break the treaty just after it is signed, right?" ”

Yuan Fang shrugged his shoulders and said, "The discussion is so discussed, but is the exact number of prisoners in the Liusang Empire?" They don't know, besides, mining doesn't need too many people, one or two thousand is enough, let's pick two thousand from the Liusang prisoners of war who have no background, and then say that these people have died because of an accident, and the Liusang Empire shouldn't take care of these, it's a big deal to let them pay less ransom. ”

Yang Xing smiled slyly: "Then this matter will be handed over to you, the boss, and I won't care." ”

Yuan Fang rolled his eyes and said, "I knew that your kid would say that, once you encounter this kind of thing that is not human, your kid will have to push it to me." ”

Yang Xing grinned: "Who made you my boss, of course I have to help the boss if it's inconvenient for me to do it." ”

Yuan Fang glared and said: "I'll carry the black cauldron, you can take the benefits, your kid's abacus is loud enough, okay, I won't bother with you, who are you going to shoot in the defenders?" ”

This Yang Xing had already thought about it: "Just Chang Heng, Chang Xun told me before the war that he wanted to hand over the Tiger Roar Legion to Chang Heng after this battle, at that time I only said that I would consider it, and now it seems that Chang Heng has the ability to take charge of a legion." ”

In this counterattack, Chang Heng's performance was quite outstanding, whether it was chasing the rout in the field or attacking the fortified battle, or dealing with and pacifying the people after the city was broken, he did an impeccable job.

Yuan Fang heard Chang Xun talk about his plan to retire when he was in the Emerald Isle before, and at that time he thought Chang Xun was joking, and he didn't take it seriously at all, but now it seems that Chang Xun, the old guy, really plans to take a back seat to make room for his son.

Yuan Fang said with some regret: "Although Chang Xun, this old guy is a little slippery, but you don't have anything to say to the empire and Yang Xing. ”

Yang Xing could hear what Yuan Fang meant, and said with a smile: "Boss, don't worry, I, Yang Xing, am not an ungrateful person, if it weren't for Chang Xun who led people to kill in time on the charge of treason, we would have died in Dongzhou a long time ago, and later, if it weren't for Chang Xun's resolute support, I wouldn't have been able to ascend to the throne so easily, of course, these things are indispensable to your credit, boss." Yuan Fang nodded with satisfaction: "How do you plan to settle Chang Xun?" ”

Yang Xing shrugged his shoulders and said, "Isn't Da Sima's position always vacant, let Chang Xun do it." ”

Yuan Fang had already guessed that Yang Xing would say this, frowned and said, "This is a bit inappropriate." ”

Yang Xing asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Yuan Fang said his thoughts: "Da Sima's duty is to command the local armies of various states and counties, which Chang Xun is very suitable for, but Da Sima's position is only one, you give Chang Xun, so what about Chen Xin, Tang Jian, and Shi Ping?" Several of them were the first to talk to you, and they all made great contributions to the empire, and you gave this position to Chang Xun, even if the others didn't say it, they would have some opinions in their hearts, which was not good. ”

Yuan Fang shook his head as he spoke.

Yang Xing had also considered this before, just like Yuan Fang said, there is only one position, and sooner or later someone has to take over, so a choice must be made.

Yang Xing saw Yuan Fang shaking his head, and couldn't help asking: "Boss, I've also thought about this, is there a better way for you?" ”
