"Jiang Shaoheng! Look, what is this?!" As soon as Xu Ning got off the carriage, he excitedly took the gold he had picked out from between the fat fox's toes.
This kind of broken gold looked impure at first glance, and it was also a bit gray. Jiang Yan took a look at it and then looked at the fat fox wagging its tail beside Xu Ning. What else did he not understand?
Jiang Yi, who had heard Xu Ning mention the gold mine a long time ago, also passed the information to his master at the right time. Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel very happy! With the gold mine! There are so many things that can be done!
"Aning, what do you mean?"
"Dig, dig now, leave some to greet the carriage, and everyone else go dig!" Xu Ning didn't want to wait. This thing would change before it reached his hands, so it was better to dig quickly to be safe.
At this time, their location was not far from Xiacheng, and outside the territory of the Daqing Dynasty. It could be said that this gold mine was Xu Ning's territory, or it could be said that it was not, so Xu Ning insisted on taking the gold mine home.
"Okay, Jiang Yi, you arrange some people to guard here, and the others will follow up the mountain." Half of the people stayed in the open, and a few secret guards were also left behind. The others followed the fat fox to look for gold mines.
"Bao, help me detect how big the gold mine is. You can deduct points yourself." On the way, Xu Ning discussed with the treasure chest and knew the size of the gold mine.
Based on the scanning results of the treasure chest, Xu Ning dug out several large pieces of gold, and handed the rest to Jiang Yan's people to deal with.
In order to thank Jiang Yan for giving him the two cities, Xu Ning planned to take only 20% of the gold mine this time and give the rest to Jiang Yan.
After all, Jiang Yan has many more soldiers and horses than her, and has more places to spend money.
Jiang Yan asked Xu Ning the reason, and Xu Ning told her the truth. He was a little helpless. How worried was she that he would let the people under him go hungry?
"Aning, you've forgotten that my farms are spread all over Daqing, and the annual income is no less than that from the gold mines."
"That's yours, and this is a gift from me. What? You dislike it because of what I gave you? Well, then I will..."
"No, no, no, I'll take it. I just think you're taking too little. How about you just take 50%?"
"No, just 20%."
"Forty percent."
"Thirty percent, at most."
"Okay, deal." The two men agreed on the distribution of the gold mine, and soon came out of the mountains and got on a carriage to Shanglu County.
In order to hurry on this time, they did not stay at the Southwest Military Camp, and soon returned to Shanglu County again.
The magistrate of Shanglu County had been keeping watch at the city gate, and as soon as he saw Jiang Yan's carriage, he immediately notified him.
The county magistrate immediately put down what he was doing and went to Xu Ning in person to express his gratitude.
Xu Ning was a little embarrassed. "Sir, you are the ones who have worked so hard. I just gave you some advice. It's not worth your personal thanks."
"Miss, you are too modest. If it weren't for the method you came up with, the people of Shanglu County would have suffered a lot in this disaster.
I have never forgotten the seawater backflow that year. If it were not for the insightful people who hid food and other items in the caves on the top of the mountain, the people might not have waited for the imperial court’s help.
I couldn't find anyone to thank that time and I felt uneasy. Miss Xu, please let me express my gratitude as a parent."
Since the county magistrate said so, Xu Ning couldn't refuse anymore. However, after accepting the gift, Xu Ning felt that his life would be shortened.
However, it seems that she was the one who hid food and supplies in the cliff cave many years ago.
Thinking of this, Xu Ning could accept it and had a satisfying thank-you banquet with the county magistrate in a calm mood.
"Sir, I'd like to ask how Xianyu Village is doing now. My family and I built a house there a few years ago. After the disaster, we all went north and haven't been able to visit since. This time, I took a boat in Shanglu County and wanted to go back and take a look."
