As soon as the first month of the lunar year was over and the emperor had some free time, he began to wonder whether there was a gold mine in Jiapiqiao.
You know, development in all parts of the country is very tight now, and a large amount of gold and silver is needed.
Although the maritime ban was lifted, a round trip was not only dangerous but also took a long time. There was always a feeling that distant water could not quench immediate thirst.
The emperor had previously found many people to study the gold sand brought back by Boss Ye.
Everyone speculated that Jiapigou not only had a gold mine, but it should be a rich mine.
Some people even boldly speculate that the Jiapigou gold mine may contain more gold than any other gold mine in Daqi today.
So right after the first month of the lunar year, and before the second day of the second lunar month, the emperor couldn't wait to summon Prince Rui into the palace to discuss the matter of quickly selecting people to set out.
This year's Chinese New Year for Prince Rui can be said to be the happiest and most comfortable one in the past decade.
He wished he could stay at the princess's mansion to take care of his daughter every day and was too lazy to even go back to the prince's palace.
Now many things in Prince Rui's Mansion have been moved to the Princess's Mansion, and the personal servants have also been called here.
This made the other people in the palace sigh continuously.
In the past, he would only go out to play during the holidays and was not at home.
I thought that after the little princess came back, the mansion would finally return to normal and become lively again.
Who would have thought that the entire family of three would move out, making the house even more deserted.
So when Prince Rui heard his brother asking about the gold mine, his first thought was to push it away.
"Brother Emperor, I've thought about it and decided it would be better to let someone more experienced handle this matter!"
The emperor saw through his true thoughts at a glance and said with a wave of his hand: "I asked you to take charge, not to go mining.
"Whatever experienced person you want, I can just assign them to you, right?"
"But..." Prince Rui wanted to struggle again. Children grow up very fast and grow up in the blink of an eye.
He had missed it for several years, and he really didn't want to miss it at all.
The emperor said earnestly, "Seventh Brother, you are the one I trust the most now. If I could not leave, I would have gone by myself!
"Can't you just help me share the burden?"
Hearing his brother say this, Prince Rui felt embarrassed to refuse for a moment, but he was still struggling to say the words of agreement.
The emperor saw that even playing the emotional card was no longer effective, so he had to use his trump card and said, "If all else fails, let Ye Qingchen take the men to get it. After all, he was the one who discovered the gold mine.
"The last time Qingtian entered the palace, she said her father was amazing. Maybe this is just his destiny.
"Let him lead the team this time. Maybe he'll discover a big gold mine for me!"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Prince Rui's ears perked up instantly. "Qingtian said Ye Qingchen is very powerful?"
"Isn't he amazing?" the emperor asked. "Qingtian really admires him anyway."
"Alright, my Royal Brother, you don't need to say any more. Hurry up and get me all the men. I can set off at any time."
The emperor saw that his goal had been achieved, and he immediately smiled with satisfaction, and did not forget to remind them: "Don't forget to get Ye Qingchen and that Cheng some official positions, otherwise it would be a bit unreasonable for them to follow.
"Don't make it too obvious at first. If you really find a gold mine, give them promotions and rewards."
"Yes!" Prince Rui responded and took his leave.
Although he is usually quite idle, he is never vague when it comes to doing things.
When the emperor was looking for people to organize a team for him, he had already read all the information about gold mines discovered over the years. Although he had not yet conducted an on-site investigation, he had accumulated a lot of theoretical knowledge in his mind.
In early spring in March, the capital city already looks like spring with flowers blooming.
After a month of preparation, Prince Rui and others were finally ready to set off.
Although it is definitely still freezing cold in the Changbai Mountains.
However, there were many people traveling this time, including many civil servants, so they certainly couldn't walk too fast on the road.
It will be almost done once we get there.
Before setting off, Boss Ye and Boss Cheng were conferred the titles of Xiuwulang and Xunwulang, both of which were of the eighth rank.
Although the official position was not high, for someone like Boss Ye who couldn't even read a single word, having an official position was already a great blessing that would bring him great honor.
Boss Cheng's family was originally a family of military generals. It was thought that his generation had completely fallen into ruin, but he didn't expect that such a good thing would fall from the sky when he was middle-aged.
For this reason, Boss Cheng's family specially brought gifts to the Ye family to express their gratitude.
Prince Rui had already revealed to them that as long as a gold mine was discovered, the emperor would definitely reward them according to their merits, and their official positions would be further promoted.
So Boss Ye and Boss Cheng are also ready to go and full of energy.
They were the only two people who had seen the situation inside Jiapiqiao, and they were absolutely convinced that there must be gold mines in the mountains on both sides.
But this incident was a real blow to Qingtian. She had just celebrated the New Year with everyone together, and now the Ye family and Prince Rui and his wife were living in her princess mansion. So she could see the people she liked and who liked her at any time, and her life was so happy.
Who would have thought that now, both fathers would have to go on a long journey at the same time.
Ever since hearing the news, Qingtian has been feeling a little depressed.
Prince Rui and Boss Ye took turns coaxing Qingtian for a long time, and made various promises that once a gold mine was discovered, they would take Qingtian there next time and let her see with her own eyes how gold was panned and mined. Finally, they finally coaxed Qingtian into happiness.
