While everyone was working together to dig the coal mine underground, Shen Jia walked to the left with his detector, wanting to see the specific direction of the entire coal mine.

It's really strange. I was so close to him just now, but he didn't react at all. If I hadn't reacted a little slowly, I would have almost missed it again.

Hearing the voice behind her asking, she quickly looked behind her and saw that there was indeed coal slag on her hoe. It seemed that this place was also a shallow coal mine. Otherwise, she would have wanted to try how deep she had to dig to see the deep coal mine.

"Yes, that should be it. You can continue to look down."

Hearing Shen Jia's affirmative voice, everyone became excited and hurried to continue digging deeper into the place they had just been digging.

Especially Yan Zhou, who was originally calm, was extremely excited about digging out the coal with his own hands. These days he has been very clear about the importance of these coal lumps to the soldiers in the barracks.

I was so excited that I had tears in my eyes that I could participate and complete the general's instructions in such a short time.

When he thought of this, he felt full of energy and continued to dig the hole in front of him.

Shen Jia checked the direction of the surrounding coal mines and took a look at the reserves here. It was twice the amount of the coal mines in Yanhe Town, which was definitely enough to supply the soldiers and civilians of Quan Ningwei for decades. In this way, the purpose of his trip was successfully completed.

She now owned two coal mines. Looking at the people who were still digging coal excitedly, she couldn't help but remind them:

"Now that we've discovered it, the most important thing now is to inform General Yan of the situation as soon as possible. There's no need to continue digging here. If someone with ulterior motives discovers it, our next plan might be hindered."

Even though Yan Xu was famous in the military camp, Shen Jia didn't believe that there were no other people who were eyeing him covetously.

After being reminded by Shen Jia, Yan Zhou also woke up from his excited reaction, quickly stopped his actions, and said to others:

"You two will stay here for now and hide this cave so it looks like the rest of the place. We'll take Miss Shen and fellow Temur back to inform the general. Do you two understand?"

"Yes, I will obey orders resolutely."

Then Yan Zhou looked in the direction of Shen Jia and said respectfully, "Miss Shen, let's go first, otherwise we probably won't be able to find a place to stay before dark."

"Okay, we still have to hurry on our way."

The group acted according to Yan Zhou's arrangements. It was already late at this time, and they only returned to the Quanning Guard Station the next day.

Shen Jia and Xu Zhao continued to rest in the inn, while Yan Zhou was busy telling Yan Xu about their discovery and looking for suitable people to go mining.

It was Yan Xu who solved the last mining manpower problem in Yanhe Town, and this time is no exception.

She originally planned to formally hand over the coal mine affairs to the manager sent by Yan Xu and then return to Hezhou. However, she did not expect that as soon as Yan Zhou informed her of this matter, not only did Yan Xu come to visit in person, but he also brought Shen Hao to the inn.

When Shen Hao saw Shen Jia, he almost couldn't control himself and wanted to walk up from behind Yan Xu to say hello. In the end, his subconscious brought by a long period of military camp life overcame his excitement. He looked at Shen Jia excitedly and couldn't help blinking.

Looking at Shen Hao's appearance, Shen Jia was also very happy in his heart. This third uncle still had the same temper even after coming to the military camp.

But the most important thing now is the coal mine. Yan Xu looked at Shen Jia who was in a good mood and reminded him:

"Let's find a private room and talk."

"After you."

Yan Xu was not polite either. Led by Yan Zhou, he walked in front and entered the private room. Except for the two people in charge, the others were waiting outside the room to protect their safety and prevent the news from leaking.

Perhaps because of the experience of their last cooperation, Yan Xu was no longer as cold as before. At least from Shen Jia's feeling, he was in a much better mood this time.

Shen Jiaxian took out the drawing of the specific vein direction of the coal mine that he had drawn in advance and handed it to the table in front of Yan Xu.

"This is the coal mine blueprint I developed after investigation. When you build your coal mine workshop, you can avoid certain areas based on the information on it."

Yan Xu was well aware of Shen Jia's special abilities, so he looked at the blueprint in front of him without a trace of doubt. After all, the previous coal mine was built on this basis.

He then handed the revised contract he had written in advance to Shen Jia.

"This is the revised contract. If there are no problems, our future cooperation will proceed according to what is written above."

Shen Jia looked at the contract that was more favorable to him, and checked it again as if he couldn't believe it, carefully reading every word written on it.

Being treated like this by her, Yan Xu snorted coldly, and sat back in the chair with his legs spread wide open, his eyes fixed on Shen Jia's every move, but this could not stop Shen Jia from doing what he did.

After finally finishing reading, Shen Jia turned his attention to Yan Xu, who began to exude coldness again.

"The contract is fine, we can start signing it."

Yan Xu still maintained his movements, his eyes did not change at all, and suddenly said towards the door: "Brush and ink!"

"squeak--"

The door was pushed open from the outside. Shen Jia looked back and saw someone holding a tray with pens and ink on it. The person put the things on the table and turned to leave.

After watching the door close, Yan Xu said, "Sign."

Before taking it, Yan Xu had already signed his name on it and stamped it with his own private seal. Now all that was missing was for Shen Jia to leave a trace to prove his identity.

Shen Jia looked up at Yan Xu who was urging him, and suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood something before. Why did Yan Xu look so amiable at the moment?

The next moment, she was immediately distracted by the contract on the table. She lightly dipped the tip of her pen into the ink and wrote her name in beautiful small calligraphy, then stamped it with her own private seal. The new cooperation between the two officially took effect.

She held up a contract and pushed it in front of Yan Xu. "This is General Yan's copy. It's agreed that we will all act according to this contract from now on."

Yan Xu didn't pay any attention to his contract, but asked Shen Jia:

"I wonder when Miss Shen will leave? You have made such a great contribution to our soldiers in the northern border this time. Everyone below is eager to meet you, this great hero."

Shen Jia was also stunned by this and asked with a smile, "Is my reputation really that great now? All the affairs of the Shen family still depend on me alone. I'm afraid I'll have to leave and rush back to Hezhou soon."

"That means they are not blessed."

After saying this, Yan Xu took his contract, stood up and left.

Shen Jia also frowned subconsciously because of his actions and words. Just a sentence without any reason made it seem as if his reputation was false, so he didn't even try to stop him.

She listened to Yan Xu's footsteps as he left and stood up. To her delight, she turned around and saw her third uncle Shen Hao waiting outside.

She quickly called out, "Uncle San, come in, let's chat."

"As soon as I heard you were coming to Quanning Guard, I quickly asked General Yan to accompany me to see you. Uncle San is still okay, right? How was home during my absence?"

As soon as Shen Jia heard Shen Hao's question, the smile on his face never faded.

"Uncle San, please sit down first. I have good news to tell you. My family originally sent a letter to Quan Ningwei, but it probably hasn't reached you yet.

During the first month of the year, the emperor's trusted confidant brought an imperial edict, stating that in gratitude for the Shen family's discovery and development of high-yield wheat, the family had been spared from further mistakes. My grandfather is now recuperating in the Shen Mansion in Ning'an Town, holding an honorary title and leading a comfortable life.

My father is now the magistrate of Hezhou, my second uncle is the magistrate of Guanghe County, and my third uncle and eldest brother have both had their official titles restored. This is fantastic news. From now on, you can freely state your identity in the military camp, and earning an official position won't be difficult."

Shen Hao was naturally excited to hear the news, and he also felt comforted for the hard work his family had endured along the way.

Thinking about the pain that the Shen family had suffered these days, as well as the suffering that his sister Shen Min had endured, he should have been happy, but for some reason, no words came out of his mouth.

Seeing this, Shen Jia immediately handed a cup of tea to Shen Hao and comforted him, "Third Uncle, have a cup of tea. We have all let it go, and you should too."

"That's right. If it weren't for this disaster, how would we have realized who to get close to and who to stay away from? And how would your uncle have come to the military camp in the north?"

Shen Hao held the teacup and took a sip of tea. Not only did his hands feel warm, but his heart as well.

Thinking of this, he also asked about Shen Jia's return date, "Then Jia Niang, when are you going to return home? Now our military camp is very famous in the military camp because of the cooperation between Shen and General Yan.

If they knew you were the one in charge, they would definitely want to come and see you, because even someone like me with the surname Shen is being sought after by everyone."

"Really? How did they know you were a relative of the Shen family?"

"They had seen me and An Yun meet, and since then they knew that it was my niece who was running the Shen Corporation. They also admired you for being such a heroine, because your days of guarding the military camp this winter have been much easier.

By the way, did you know that An Yun had quite a reputation in the military camp? He was a high-ranking general before, and many people knew him. When they heard about his leaving the military camp due to a serious injury, they were all very sad.

This was the first time Shen Jia had heard of it. Looking at Shen Hao's serious expression and recalling the strangeness in An Yun's behavior, she was not very surprised.

"This is not much different from the rumors. He is still training guards in Ning'an Town. It can be said that his skills are not wasted."
