After breakfast, we first sent the children down the mountain to study at the private school.
Ye Leng, Ye Xing, Ye Ke, and Ye Le, the four children, had long been taking care of Xu Xiaofu and were looking forward to taking him to a private school for the first time.
As people who had been through it, they knew that it was inevitable to be nervous when going to a private school for the first time. However, they also knew that after going a few times, one would get used to it and wouldn't be afraid anymore. So they kept comforting Xu Xiaofu, telling him not to be afraid and that they would take care of him.
With such good senior brothers and sisters, Xu Na, as the older sister, felt much more at ease about her younger brother Xu Xiaofu going down the mountain to study.
The junior sister had also informed the senior and second senior sisters that she and Ye Liang had gone down the mountain together to send the children to school.
This was a common occurrence, and the eldest and second eldest sisters were already used to it, so naturally they wouldn't object. They simply instructed her and Xu Na that after going up the mountain, they would have to come back for morning lessons.
The junior sister readily agreed and looked forward to it, looking after Xu Na as she attended her first morning class.
Meng Xiaoru also told her senior sister that she wanted to go down the mountain to visit the mine and see her Uncle Meng, so she went down the mountain with Ye Liang.
Gao Yue wasn't a member of the Bixian Sect, so she didn't need to greet anyone and could simply follow Ye Liang down the mountain.
Many people came down the mountain together, making it seem quite a large group.
Little Bear Ye Huan and Little Deer Bao'er also joined in, making the procession even more impressive.
It was immediately clear to everyone that the future of the Bixian Sect was bright.
The craftsmen who came to build houses on the mountain also arrived, and seeing this scene, they were even more motivated.
They all knew that if the mountain gate was good, the lives of the villagers at the foot of the mountain would be even better.
Bixianmen also became lively due to the inevitable noise from the construction site, making the mountain gate seem less deserted.
Upon arriving at Xiaoxianzhuang at the foot of the mountain, Ye Leng, Ye Xing, and the other four children met some other children who also shared the surname Ye Liang. They happily introduced Xu Xiaofu to them, and in no time, Xu Xiaofu made many more friends.
They're all kids; once they meet, they get along well and have fun together.
With them looking after Xu Xiaofu, Ye Liang didn't even need to teach them how to get along and avoid fighting. Ye Liang believed they would handle things well on their own. After all, they were his students, so naturally their personalities would resemble his. Even if he didn't trust them, he should trust his own personal charisma.
After arranging Xu Xiaofu's enrollment with the private tutor, Ye Liang and Xu Na visited Xu Xiaofu one last time. They told him that they would come to pick him up at noon to take him home, so that he could study here in peace. Only then did they reluctantly leave.
Returning from the private school, they ran into Wei Wenshi, who was already waiting for them at the city gate of Xiaoxianzhuang. She knew Ye Liang would definitely take the children to school today, so she timed it perfectly and waited there for him so she could go up the mountain with him and her junior sister.
She's going up the mountain to attend her sect's morning class. Don't forget, she's also a disciple of the Bixian Sect.
She naturally wanted to participate in the sect's morning lessons.
Ye Liang and his junior sister were certainly happy to see Wei Wenshi and be able to go up the mountain together.
However, before going up the mountain, Ye Liang had to take a detour to the mine. No one minded, and they even had to go to the mine.
Wei Wenshi also mentioned that her brother, Wei Shiwu, had gone to the mine early in the morning.
My parents told me that my older brother goes to the mine every day now. Sometimes, when they're worried about him, they go to the mine three times a day.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liang was also deeply impressed by Wei Shiwu's transformation; he was now even more worthy of being entrusted with important matters.
When they arrived at the mine, everyone saw Ye Liang and immediately gathered around him, asking him to come and talk to them, even if it was just to hear him say something casually.
Ye Liang smiled and said that he had just arrived and needed to look around before he could say anything. Otherwise, he had just arrived and didn't know anything, so what could he say?
We can't just randomly give unsolicited advice.
These words brought a knowing smile to everyone's faces, and they immediately led Ye Liang to see the iron mine they were building.
The iron ore mine is well-developed.
Although mining inevitably damages the environment, Ye Liang's thinking is not that of an extreme environmentalist. For the sake of people's livelihood, some appropriate degree of mining is more beneficial than harmful.
Seeing that they had properly disposed of the slag according to his requirements, Ye Liang was very satisfied.
Meng Gu also came over specifically to introduce to Ye Liang the distribution of iron ore discovered and confirmed after the start of mining.
The iron ore doesn't run into the mountain, so there's no need to dig a tunnel through it. That's something Ye Liang would absolutely not allow.
This vein has a direction, and it's just one layer, about five meters thick and three meters deep. The vein is surrounded by rocks, so there's no need to disturb it; you only need to mine this layer.
By mining along the vein in this way, once the ore is extracted, the environment will not be damaged. Instead, a wide road will be built through the mountains.
The idea that "to get rich, build roads first" naturally took root in Ye Liang's mind. Ye Liang was very happy to see that mining here would not leave the mountains scarred, but would also provide a good road that would not be difficult to travel on when it rained.
This is the front mountain of the Bixian Sect, and it is ultimately the face of the sect. If the mountain is hollowed out in the future, the sect will lose its grandeur.
Therefore, from the very beginning, Ye Liang imposed restrictions on the extent of mining.
They are not allowed to dig too deep or over-exploit.
Now that we see the ore vein isn't heading into the mountain, but rather continuing eastward along this vein, mining will also continue eastward along the vein. Naturally, this won't destroy the mountain, and the sect's grandeur will be preserved. Mining can continue, ensuring the livelihood of the people in Xiaoxianzhuang. In the future, after the mining is completed, the sect will also gain a fast road through the mountains—a win-win situation that naturally makes everyone feel incredibly happy.
