Farmer of Shu Han

The mineral deposits in and around Hanzhong are actually very rich. Feng Yong studied topological cartography for a semester, and he used the map of Hanzhong as the final homework map.

Feng Yong still remembers the big mines listed above very clearly.

Nanxiang has the largest gypsum mine in Asia, as well as a large-scale lime reserve and rich pyrite.

So now Nanxiang is full of smoke during the day and brightly lit at night.

The lead mine in Xiabian is actually the lead-zinc mine belt in Chengxian County, the second lead mine belt in the country.

Later, according to some unreliable sources, deep underground, this mine belt may extend all the way to Hanzhong, and has the potential to become the largest lead-zinc mine in the country.

This statement is true or false, but even if it is the second largest mine, it is big enough.

Now the copper mine in Nanzhong has begun to produce output, and the timely appearance of the large lead mine will surely make the prime minister of Han Dynasty ecstatic.

Ju County, located between Nanxiang and Xiabian, has the greatest potential, because there are many gold mines around it, and one of them is the third-ranked nickel-gold mine in the country.

Although he coveted the gold mines in Ju County, Feng Yong never planned to mention it to others before the time was ripe.

Gold is one of the most important precious metals, and the gold mine in Ju County must be a bargaining chip for the Dahan Reserve Bureau to stabilize the overall situation in the future.

At the same time, it is also the most important hole card left by Feng Yong.

According to the abnormal development of Dahan's current capital, backlash will inevitably come one day.

It doesn't matter when it comes, in what way it will counterattack, and it doesn't matter which force is the first to counterattack.

As long as you have enough gold reserves in your hands, if you are really in a hurry, you can just flip the table and reshuffle the cards.

Let those capital wolves know what a national team is.

Confidence means being so straightforward, not hypocritical, and self-willed!

But when it comes to willfulness, the most qualified one is Wei Emperor Cao Rui.

After two big defeats, it took only two years for Wei Guo to regain his composure.

Although in order to reduce the pressure on Bingzhou and Jizhou in Hebei, a soft policy was adopted for Hu people such as Xianbei Wuhuan.

But because of the remaining prestige of the great Han, and the conquest of the Hu people by Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Cao Zhang and others in the early years, the Hu people in Monan did not take the opportunity to make trouble.

Let Cao Rui rest assured and focus on dealing with the west and south.

He even took the opportunity to bypass the important ministers in the court and directly issued military orders to the frontier guards, further tightening the power, and at the same time, he could test the obedience of the frontier generals to him.

After receiving the rewards from Chang'an Cao Zhen and Jingzhou Sima Yi, Cao Rui finally felt relieved and began to step up efforts to gather power in the court.

Just in case, like last time, the unfavorable military situation on the border caused turmoil between North Korea and China.

The flamboyant crony case has been widely implicated, and there have been many vacancies in various departments of the provinces, especially the reserve officials, who used to be filled by young talents.

After the flashy cronies case, at least half of the officials in Luoyang's official offices were dismissed.

So Cao Rui took the opportunity to promote a group of new officials.

Lian Zhao, a native of Le'an in Yuyang County, Youzhou, is quite talented. He stood out in this special period and was appointed Shang Shulang.

On this day, Minister Chen Jiao had just finished handling government affairs and was about to go on duty when Shang Shu Lang Lianzhao came in with another volume of documents.

"Chen Shangshu, an imperial edict has been sent out from the palace, and I need to trouble you to read this file."

Lian Zhao has a handsome face, elegant conversation, and always has a smile on his face. People who don't know the details can easily feel good about him when they see him.

It's just that Chen Jiao, as the chief official of Shangshutai, knows this person very well.

Even in the bottom of his eyes, there is still a trace of disgust hidden from the other party.

After receiving the dossier from Lian Zhao, Chen Jiao's expression changed drastically after just a few glances.

"Lian Shang Shulang, Dali Temple has already sentenced Cao Fan's crime, why should he be prosecuted again?"

Cao Fan was originally Shangshu Zuo Cheng of Shangshutai, and his duty was to assist Shangshuling in handling various affairs of Shangshutai.

But a few days ago, he was found to be related to the vanity party crony, and he was ordered to question him.

The recent situation in the DPRK is somewhat unpredictable, and more importantly, he is Cao Fan's direct chief officer.

Although Chen Jiao thought he had a clear conscience, he was always worried.

Fortunately, Ting Wei Gao Rou was a veteran of Emperor Wu's era. He was well versed in legal principles and enforced the law fairly, so he did not implicate anyone in this matter.

The matter had just passed, and Chen Jiao finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unexpectedly, Lian Zhao actually wanted to re-trial.

"Chen Shangshu, although Cao Fan has pleaded guilty, he has not confessed to his accomplices. What the emperor means is that this person should be investigated in detail to find out the accomplices behind it."

At Lian Zhao's words, Chen Jiao's heart skipped a beat, and then a surge of anger rushed straight to his head, making him almost unable to control his emotions.

Party?

What party?

Does Your Majesty think that the vanity case has not been involved widely enough?

I am Shang Shuling, and Cao Fan is Shang Shu Zuo Cheng who assists Shang Shuling, who is the cronies?

Looking at the modest smile on Lian Zhao's face, Chen Jiao seemed to see the provocation and complacency beneath the other's smile.

Just thinking that Lian Zhao was able to enter and leave the palace freely, won the trust of His Majesty, Chen Jiao had to forcibly hold back this tone.

In order not to let the other party see his trembling hands, Chen Jiao had to retract his hands into his sleeve robe.

"Lian Shangshulang, tell me about this matter, I'm afraid there is something wrong? If we really want to investigate it, I should avoid suspicion."

If facing His Majesty, Chen Jiao is not afraid to argue with reason, because he knows that although His Majesty is sometimes paranoid, he is always sensible.

Even in the face of admonitions, His Majesty would at most refuse to listen, but he would not blame him afterwards.

Lian Zhao is different.

Although this person is talented, he is quite a villain, he welcomes what His Majesty likes, and most likes to judge other people's small faults in order to flatter His Majesty.

One of the crimes of flashy cronies is to let servants pretend to be officials, go in and out of forbidden places, and use favors to inquire about news.

So after the vanity case, His Majesty first established a strict prohibition to prevent people from entering and leaving at will, and at the same time ordered the imperial army to guard the palace with heavy troops, and now he is using his cronies and servants more and more.

It is much more difficult for the ministers of the outer court to meet His Majesty in normal times than before.

If my words are inappropriate today, I will definitely be arranged in front of His Majesty by this person.

And because he was separated by the heavily guarded palace, he had no way to defend himself in front of His Majesty.

With one relative and one alienation, who knows if His Majesty will be deceived by Lian Zhao for a while?

"Shang Shu Ling's words are wrong!"

Lian Zhao smiled slightly, and said softly, "Your Majesty asked the officials to submit this case to Shang Shuling, which is to believe in Shang Shuling."

"After all, when His Majesty came to Shangshutai that day, Shang Shuling stopped His Majesty on the spot, saying that it is not His Majesty's duty to read documents. For this reason, Your Majesty praised Shang Shuling as a direct minister!"

When Chen Jiao heard this, he finally understood in his heart: Is it possible that Lian Zhao heard about this and then made a gossip before His Majesty?

Before he could figure out how to deal with it, Lian Zhao cupped his hands again, "Actually, I also admire Shang Shuling very much, for being able to speak out so bluntly to remonstrate with His Majesty."

Chen Jiao was taken aback, and found that things seemed a little different from what he had imagined.

"It's just that Shang Shuling acted like a direct minister, but some lucky villains advanced greedy words under His Majesty, saying that Shang Shuling acted by inviting fame and exercising power."

Seeing Lian Zhao's sincere expression, Chen Jiao suddenly felt absurd.

A lucky villain says others are lucky villains?

More importantly, someone actually slandered himself in front of His Majesty.

How many lucky villains are there in this court?

"Shang Shuling doesn't want to know who gave His Majesty the gossip?"

Lian Zhao looked at Chen Jiao's uncertain face and asked in a low voice.

Chen Jiao is not a saint after all, he can ignore fear and life and death.

"who is it?"

Lian Zhao smiled in satisfaction, but he didn't try to hold back any more: "Servant Liu Ye."

When Chen Jiao heard this, he finally couldn't help standing up, and said in a broken voice, "Is this really true?"

Even if Lian Zhao wanted to confess his faults to His Majesty, even if Chen Jiao was worried, he would not be shocked.

Because he is Shangshuling, Lian Zhao is just a Shangshulang.

Your Majesty is the lord of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible for an important minister like himself to be imprisoned for no reason just because of a Shang Shulang's words.

In addition, His Majesty attaches great importance to laws and regulations, and often hears important cases in person, so he will always have the opportunity to prove his innocence.

But Liu Ye is different.

Liu Ye is known as a talented person, and has always been highly valued by His Majesty.

After His Majesty ascended the throne, the first minister to meet privately was Liu Ye.

If he goes forward and speaks gossip before His Majesty, then his wealth is in danger of being overthrown!

Seeing Chen Jiao's pale face, Lian Zhao showed satisfaction.

"Although I don't know the enmity between Shang Shuling and Liu Shizhong, I also deeply disdain the behavior of a villain like Liu Ye. If there is a chance, I will explain something to Shang Shuling in front of Your Majesty."

Lian Zhao came up and said with concern.

How could Chen Jiao fail to understand Lian Zhao's implication after going through the three dynasties of Cao and Wei?

He looked at Lian Zhao faintly, "What do you want to do? I think that I don't show you any kindness in normal times."

Lian Zhao raised his thumb, "Talking with Chen Shangshu is a peace of mind."

He looked around, as if looking for something.

"Don't worry, there is no one else here except you and me."

Chen Jiao knew Lian Zhao's intention and said it.

After hearing this, Lian Zhao coughed, "Recently, Sili Captain Kong Xian wanted to recruit the younger brother of the General Hussar (Sima Yi), but some people said that the brother of the Great General Hussars has always been rebellious and unreasonable."

Speaking of this, Lian Zhao showed anger on his face, "Shang Shu ordered you to say, isn't this intentional criticism to hurt people? The family of the Hussar General has always been a prominent family in Hanoi."

"When it comes to the generation of Hushi General, there are eight brothers, everyone is talented, known as Sima Bada, why would there be crazy and unreasonable actions? Shang Shuling, do you think so?"

When Chen Jiao heard this, he finally understood Lian Zhao's purpose.

If it were an ordinary person who was requisitioned, naturally there would be no need to disturb Shang Shutai.

But is Sima Yi an ordinary person?

Now his younger brother wanted to become an official, but he was victimized by wind criticism.

Shangshutai is the most important official office of the imperial court, and the government affairs of the whole country are concentrated here. If Shangshutai does not agree with this matter, then the appointment of Sima Yi's younger brother as an official may be in vain.

The Sima family had just hired a Sima master in the officialdom, but they didn't expect to be able to push out another one immediately.

What is even more unexpected is that Lian Zhao actually has such a relationship with the Sima family.

The thoughts in Chen Jiao's mind kept turning like a wheel, weighing the pros and cons in a hurry.

Seeing Chen Jiao's complexion fluctuate and he has not spoken for a long time, Lian Zhao is a little impatient.

"Chen Shangshu, I have heard about it. In the past two years, because the two captives of Wu and Shu fought fiercely, His Majesty was worried about the world. I asked Chen Shangshu before."

"It is said that the Hussar General is a loyal and upright minister, can you entrust the country? Chen Shangshu said that the Hussar General is the hope of the court, and he dare not lightly say that he is a minister of the country. Is there such a thing?"

When Chen Jiao heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Your Majesty is so close to Lian Zhao?

How else would he know about it?

Lian Zhao continued to say, "Chen Shangshu first contradicted His Majesty, and then Liu Ye slandered him."

"If this matter is known by the Hussar General, there are people who have grudges both inside and outside the fashion book, even if they don't care about themselves, don't they even care about their own wives and children?"

Chen Jiao could no longer maintain his superficial composure, and sat back heavily in his seat.

Wei Guo has always had a tradition of sitting together, so he naturally knows it better than anyone else.

Chen Jiao's eldest son, Chen Ben, saw his lord returning to the house with an ugly face, so he immediately asked with concern:

"What's wrong with your lord?"

Chen Jiao waved away all the servants, then asked Chen Ben to call his second son, Chen Qian, and then he said what Lian Zhao said.

At the end, he said worriedly: "If what Lian Zhao said is true, our Chen family will be in danger. What do you think of me?"

After hearing what his father said, the eldest son, Chen Ben, had a terrified expression on his face, and he was in a state of confusion for a while, how could he think of a solution?

On the contrary, the second son, Chen Qian, has always been resourceful. After thinking for a while, he said with a smile: "Your Majesty has said it himself. Your Majesty is the Lord of the Holy Spirit. Now he is just being deceived by the villain for a while."

"Even if you listen to the villain's words, your Majesty will let you retire peacefully because you are a veteran and important minister of the three dynasties. At most, you will not be a minister."

"Our Chen family can be regarded as a noble family nowadays. Even if we don't serve as an official, we can live comfortably. What do you have to worry about?"

Chen Jiao is still worried: "I only worry that Liu Pif will frame my ears again in the future."

Chen Qian nodded, with a look of resentment on his face: "Old man Liu is indeed hateful. If this person is not dead, I'm afraid the adults are still in danger."

"So why?"

Chen Qian revealed a gloomy expression:

"It's the so-called preemptive strikes, and later strikes against others. Now Mr. Liu is the first to preempt others, and my lord is already one step behind. Fortunately, the Holy Majesty has not blamed him, so why don't you take countermeasures?"

"Oh, will the plan come out?"

Chen Jiao asked hastily.

"Baby's opinion, what Lian Zhao and his lord said at the Shangshutai may not all be ordered by the Hushi general."

Chen Qian's eyes flickered, "Liu Ye has always been loved and respected by His Majesty, Lian Zhao only came later, so Liu Ye naturally has to overwhelm Lian Zhao in front of His Majesty."

"The real purpose of Lian Zhao's move is probably to suppress Liu Ye."

When Chen Jiao heard his second son's analysis, his heart suddenly brightened!

"So it is!" He slapped his thigh and cheered, "I never thought of this!"

Chen Jiao looked at his son with admiration, "That Lian Zhao used Sima Yi as a cover, but he didn't expect that his real purpose was this."

"As long as we know his real purpose, it will be much easier for us to deal with it. Since Mrs. Liu is so hateful, why don't my lord use Lian Zhao's hand to get rid of this person?"

Chen Qian gritted his teeth and said.

Chen Jiao frowned: "Liu Ye is deeply loved by His Majesty, Lian Zhao is no more than a new minister, how can he accomplish such a great thing?"

Chen Qian smiled: "My lord, no matter whether it is Liu Ye or Lian Zhao, their power and power are all given by His Majesty. As long as you start with His Majesty, it will be much easier."

"It's hard!"

Chen Jiao sighed.

"The boy has a plan."
