"Since the girl is so optimistic about this young lady Zhuang, it means that she can be used." Chu Yu put down the other household registration in his hand.
Gong Liulang raised his eyelids, and seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he slowly walked to the couch and sat down cross-legged. His eyelids drooped slightly, and he fiddled with the orange potted plant, paying no attention to the two people who were talking.
Anyway, these things have nothing to do with him.
"As for this young lady surnamed Han, I don't know her." Wei Xiyin pointed to the household registration and said, "It says she's a concubine's daughter of the Zaoqiang Han family. She must be the niece of a certain aunt."
She only values ability and doesn't care about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children. The position goes to the one with the most ability.
As for the other male who answered the question correctly, Chu Yu did not show her his household registration, probably because he already had a plan in mind.
Wei Xiyin then said, "The conscription order hasn't been lifted yet. We'll select based on the number of people. Those who are valued by the master must be quite capable."
She paused for a moment, because she suddenly thought of Ji Dalang...
At this time, there was another knock on the door.
The person who came was Chang Ying.
Chang Ying came in and reported, "My lady, the number of people who will be following us tomorrow has been counted. There are four hundred soldiers and a thousand civilians."
Since it is mining, in addition to the people who transport the materials back and forth, there must be people mining at the mine.
Now the dock had enough manpower, so there was no need to be as stingy in selecting personnel as before. Wei Xiyin planned to simply arrange all the mining personnel in place during this trip.
Gong Liulang raised his head, placed his small orange on the table, and asked, "Is there anyone knowledgeable among the people accompanying us?"
Mining ore also requires certain skills. The exploration, mineral processing, mining and other steps need to be led by familiar people, and then transportation is the responsibility of the subordinates.
Chang Ying replied, "Yes, there are several servants in Lord Ting's family who have participated in mining before, and they will go with us this time."
Gong Liulang nodded and continued to ask, "The blacksmith shop is currently short of raw materials. Do you have the tools for mining?"
"Of course we have that. The mine belongs to our clan, and we already have all the tools needed for mining." Wei Xiyin waved her hand and added, "If it's not enough, we can have the blacksmith shop work on it once we get the first batch of iron ore back."
Gong Liulang nodded lightly. When he thought about having to stay at the mine for more than a month, or even longer, in the hot summer, and even being responsible for transportation back and forth, he felt no motivation at all.
"By the way, where is the map that was copied? Give a copy to Gong Liulang." Wei Xiyin asked Chu Yu.
After Wei Ting gave the map to Chu Yu, he had kept it ever since.
I mentioned mining before, and I made several copies of maps specifically for it.
Chu Yu pulled out a map from the shelf and handed it to Gong Liulang. "There are two mines, one outside Qinghe County, and the other in the direction of Fuyang."
Wei Xiyin said, "We can't take care of those that are far away for now." Now that they are in urgent need of raw materials, it is natural to choose the ones closest to them.
Yuan Wu and others are most likely still near Fuyang County. You should know that some of Wei's followers are following them.
The purpose of the Zhongshan army coming to Qinghe County was to look for someone, and they would definitely not give up until they found the Princess Zhongshan.
Now that the gentlemen and the princess are missing, Wei Xiyin's previous arrangements have been disrupted. She only hopes that Princess Zhongshan is safe, otherwise she will lose the opportunity to borrow troops, and it is unknown how long it will take to leave Yizhou.
I don’t know where Erlang and his men went.
As time goes by.
Wei Xiyin became increasingly anxious. She refused to rest all day and kept pushing forward progress in all aspects, just wanting to settle her home as soon as possible, borrow troops from Zhongshan State, and then lead people out of Yizhou to find her parents and brothers.
She lowered her eyes slightly, and as there was only a dim oil lamp in the room, no one noticed her abnormality.
"It's getting late, so let's cut to the chase." Gong Liulang had already spread out a map. "Fuyang County is forty miles above the granary. A round trip would take about ten days. The monsters along the way have been cleared out time and time again, so the danger isn't great."
He bluntly began to make demands. "The mine needs to be manned to prevent any accidents. At least 200 soldiers and some heavy weapons must be left behind. Also, someone needs to coordinate the transportation. Don't tell me that everything we bring back will be piled up in the dock."
"Sixth Young Master has guessed it, hasn't he?" Chu Yu chuckled. "Even if Sixth Young Master didn't know, Lord Zhang and the Yizhou Army would have probably told them the situation."
Zhang Yuanyan now stays in the southwest camp all day, helping to train new recruits.
The Yizhou Army would occasionally go on missions together or hang out outside, and there was no intention to hide the planning of Ling County.
Gong Liulang remained calm, "If Mr. Chu hadn't told me, how would I have known? But judging by the attitudes of the young lady and the gentleman, Ling County is likely to make a big move next."
Without waiting for Chu Yu to speak, he stood up and bowed, "Now that things have been explained and the map is in hand, I will go back and rest early. Goodbye!"
As a result, when he just walked to the door, he suddenly remembered his little orange.
Gong Liulang pointed at the basin of oranges and said, "Mr. Chu, please take care of the recent observation materials. The notebook is on the couch."
Chu Yu sneered.
They treat him as a farmhand running errands and throw all the chores on him.
Wei Xiyin's thoughts were interrupted by the two of them. She suppressed her emotions, pretended not to see anything, and said that she didn't want to interfere in the affairs between men.
After the people left.
"Miss, do you know Gong Liulang's name?" Chu Yu glanced at her and asked in a calm voice.
Wei Xiyin's pupils were shocked. "Isn't it just that I asked you to take care of a pot of oranges? Why do you need my name?"
Could it be that Chu Yu has become so perverted that he wants revenge?
For example, asking for someone's name and birth date, casting a curse, etc...
Seeing that she looked uneasy, Chu Yu asked with a half-smile, "What are you thinking about now, girl? Why don't you tell me about it?"
Wei Xiyin took two steps back, "I didn't think of anything!"
She quickly replied, "I really don't know what Gong Liulang's name is. I have to ask the elders." The Gong family is related to the Wei family by marriage, and her grandfather and others must know Gong Liulang's full name.
After saying that, she coughed lightly and decided that it was not advisable to stay here for long.
"I forgot to tell you, sir, that I brought Gu Qiu here today. The child is still waiting downstairs. I'll take my leave first." She gestured to Chang Ying, and the two of them quickly left the room.
After coming out.
Wei Xiyin shook her head repeatedly and sighed to Chang Ying, "It seems that we still need to dig out more useful talents. Otherwise, you see, there are too many things to do, and people's psychology is distorted."
Chang Ying looked up at the sky in silence. The girl, Mr. Chu and Gong Liulang were all troublemakers, so he might as well remain silent.
When Wei Xiyin went downstairs, Xiao Guqiu walked out of the house calmly, without a trace of abnormality on his face.
I don’t know how she got along with Ji Dalangjun in the house. When she came out, Ji Dalangjun said goodbye to her reluctantly.
It's already late.
Wei Xiyin hurriedly took the child back to the fort.
