Chapter 301 Good News
Another ten days have passed and everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.
The rammed earth and stone slabs used to repair the streets of Fuya are ready. Adjutant Wu has also refined the white glue that can withstand Xie Fengyue's full blow for the first time. However, the thickness and volume need to be improved, otherwise it will be impossible to do it. The beautiful vision of becoming an armor is still a long way off.
Xie Fengyue felt at ease for the first time in a long time these days. There was no intrigue, no frame-up, and no mental effort. Except for the occasional quarrel between Lian Jun and You Heng, her current life was exactly what she wanted.
Her leisurely life stopped when she heard that Xiao Xuan returned to Hong Kong.
After Xie Fengyue swallowed the vegetables in the bowl, she immediately led the people to the big fishing port.
When she saw with her own eyes the bright red sail appearing on the sea level, Xie Fengyue rubbed her hands awkwardly and paced back and forth.
It took more than an hour from the time the sail appeared to when the ship docked.
At this moment, Xie Fengyue did not dare to step forward. She stood there and looked up at the deck. She saw the busy figures of the crew carrying sacks getting on and off the ship, but the person she was looking for was nowhere to be seen.
Xie Fengyue swallowed, her hands under her sleeves tightened again and again, and finally decided to ask in person.
She had only taken two steps when she saw a small figure walking among the tall crew members. He dodged the falling objects with nimble skills, and quickly supported the helmsman who was about to lose his footing and fall.
"Xiao Xuanzi!" Xie Fengyue shouted happily.
Hearing the voice, Xiao Xuan turned around and responded with a smile: "Girl, wait for me."
In just a minute or two when Xiao Xuan got off the boat, Xie Fengyue had countless thoughts in her mind. If Xiao Xuanzi found the mining island, her future focus should be on mining. If the mining happened, she would have to keep the manpower secret. Do it well
If you can't find it, you should spend more time on infrastructure. After all, Yongning is a vast area with few people. If you want to expand a new Yongning, it's not impossible
As soon as she had deep thoughts, Xiao Xuan took out a roll of maps from his arms, held it up respectfully with both hands and said, "Fortunately, Xiao Xuan lived up to his mission."
Xie Fengyue suppressed her excitement and signaled with her eyes that Xiao Xuan should go back home first. There were many people talking on the pier and it was not suitable to discuss these things.
Xiao Xuan's face was serious and he nodded slightly.
Just as Xie Fengyue was about to return home, Xiao Xuan said again: "Girl, wait a moment."
After saying that, he waved to someone not far away, and a young man in his twenties trotted over. After bowing respectfully to Xie Fengyue, he introduced himself: "Little Miao Xiaoshun, I wish you good health and good luck to the princess.”
As soon as she heard this surname, the face of the one-armed Miao Wei automatically appeared in Xie Fengyue's mind, and she asked: "Who is Miao Wei to you?"
Miao Xiaoshun still looked humble and replied: "That is the villain's father."
Xie Fengyue frowned slightly. If she remembered correctly that Miao Wei was a craftsman, his son would never have entered the fleet of the Yongning government.
Xiao Xuan seemed to have seen Xie Fengyue's doubts. He explained: "Miao Xiaoshun is not a crew member. His master is a watcher of the voyage." After speaking, he leaned closer and lowered his voice: "This This chart was drawn by Miao Xiaoshun and me together.”
Xie Fengyue didn't want to waste time after hearing this. She nodded: "Go back home first."
The few people walked very quickly, and it only took them one or two cups of tea to return home. As soon as the three of them sat down, Zhe Zhi had already considerately closed the door and left. Before Xie Fengyue could ask, Xiao Xuan spoke: Girl, we have passed through twelve islands on this trip. I took Miao Xiaoshun and his master to each island, and the others have not set foot on them. ”
Xie Fengyue nodded thoughtfully and waited for his next words.
Xiao Xuan took a big sip of tea before continuing: "After my investigation, only one of the twelve islands has minerals, but this island is a bit strange. The vegetation is lush but there is no trace of life, and the minerals are even more mysterious. An extremely high mountain range separated it and divided it into two parts. After observing the rocks in both places, I can initially conclude that the east side of the island is an iron mine and the west side is a copper mine. ”
When Xie Feng heard the news at the beginning of the month, she was almost overwhelmed with joy. When she calmed down a little, she realized that there were many problems before her.
Now there are detailed charts and mineral islands, but she has no one!
She only has a hundred soldiers now. Even if she adds the slaves bought from Fuso, there are only two or three hundred people. If she wants to open a mine, all three hundred people will go into battle.
What are more than three hundred people going to eat on a lifeless island? We can't let them all eat turf.
Problems one after another made Xie Fengyue's heart choked up, causing her face to turn red and white.
Xie Fengyue could think of this kind of embarrassing thing, and Xiao Xuan could also think of it. He couldn't help Xie Fengyue with everything. He pursed his lips and lowered his head silently, trying his best to reduce his presence.
In fact, Xiao Xuan really thought too much. Although Xie Fengyue knew that he was from the Iron Clan, he did not believe all the mysterious rumors. What's more, Xiao Xuan was less than ten years old now. He He had already done well enough, so how could Xie Fengyue let him make up his mind?
Xie Fengyue thought for a long time, and when Xiao Xuan almost asked, she asked leisurely: "Is the sea route from Yongning to Jianye open?"
What she asked was far from what Xiao Xuan thought, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
While he was dazed, Xie Fengyue spoke again: "Now that we have found the mining island, we must have found it. With so many people on board, the news has probably spread throughout Yongning."
Just when Xiao Xuan thought Xie Fengyue was going to continue asking, she waved her hand: "You have worked hard along the way. I asked Zhe Zhi to prepare a table of good food for you. After you finish eating, go back and take a hot bath to rest. Rest.”
"Ah?" Xiao Xuan subconsciously asked in confusion: "Don't you want to ask me something else?"
Xie Fengyue slapped her head: "Oh, I almost forgot."
She turned to Miao Xiaoshun and asked: "Where is your master? The mining island is of great importance, and there are only four people who know about it so far." Xie Fengyue concealed the underlying meaning and deliberately spoke in a relaxed manner.
Miao Xiaoshun understood it in an instant. He knelt down tremblingly and replied: "The villain's master died on the way back. Only the princess and Xiao Xiao know about this. The younger one is just a rough man and can't understand the two." What are you talking about?”
Xie Fengyue raised her lips, Miao Xiaoshun was actually a smart man.
She deliberately pointed out that the four people knew about this just to warn Miao Xiaoshun.
Xie Fengyue said softly: "You don't have to worry, you can know about this." She changed her words: "But! You can only know about it, if so"
Before Xie Fengyue could make his words clear, Miao Xiaoshun had already raised three fingers and swore to the sky: "I will definitely abide by my duty. Even if my biological father comes, I will never tell you about this!"
