In everyone's eyes, Xian County is just a remote place adjacent to Chang'an.

But suddenly His Majesty was going to Wu County, which surprised everyone.

Na Jun County is Chen Zhengtai’s fief. At this critical moment, what should I do in Jun County?

But His Majesty has issued an order. Although some censors have expressed their opposition,... the opposition is invalid.

Li Shimin also has a moment of voluntary action. Of course... it would be fine if it was an irrelevant problem, but once it was something that Li Shimin thought was important, in fact, no one could change his mind, whether it was Wei Zheng or others.

Li Tai has been very attentive recently. When he saw his father going to Wu County, he happily asked for a walk with him, and Li Shimin naturally took care of him.

Not only that, Li Shimin also asked all officials to follow him to the county.

Therefore, two days later, the mighty imperial guards began to set off from Chang'an!

From early morning to noon, this county will arrive.

The county is indeed not far away, especially the county town. The purpose of this time is obviously not the county town. I took a break in the county town at noon, and Li Shimin could deeply feel the desolation of the suburbs under the feet of the emperor.

Li Tai followed the imperial carriage and felt very happy. He looked at the beautiful scenery along the way, and the mountains and rivers were magnificent, and he couldn't help but start to recite poems. Many aristocratic children followed Li Tai. People nodded and praised Li Tai.

Chen Zhengtai and Lee Seung-qian seem much deserted here!

Although everyone is afraid that Chen Zhengtai will make a fuss, it does not mean that everyone likes him.

As for His Royal Highness, he is quite reckless and everyone is a literati and talented person, so he is unwilling to gather with him! Only Cheng Yaojin, Hou Junji and others followed him. Hou Junji has been very worried about the rumors spreading in the market recently!

As Li Chengqian's expectant father-in-law, he heard a lot of rumors about Li Tai Xianming. When he saw Li Tai was surrounded by many people, Li Chengqian was... lonely and deserted, which deepened his worries.

Everyone continued to set out, and when they reached the remnants of the Qinling Mountains, they were already trapped and exhausted. They just walked some more roads. A huge farmhouse at the foot of the mountain attracted everyone's attention.

A huge village seems to have been formed here, with many cattle and horses in the village, with sheds of various colors, and curling smoke from cooking fires.

After Li Shimin got off the chariot, Li Tai hurriedly brought all the officials to welcome him!

Li Tai was a little fat and panting, but he still supported Li Shimin and said, "Father, where are we going? My son and I see here... it's very desolate and nothing is good to look at."

Li Shimin glanced at Li Tai deeply, but suddenly said, "Qingque, how old are you?"

"My son is nearly ten years old." Li Tai said respectfully.

Li Shimin nodded: "You are ten years old, you are not young anymore. I still remember that you were still in your infancy. In the blink of an eye, you were so old."

As he said that, Li Shimin immediately glanced at the ministers surrounding Li Tai and suddenly smiled: "Everyone says that Li Tai is Xianming, all of you, don't know these rumors, have you heard of them?"

Many people were stunned.

They didn't know what his Majesty was going to ask this suddenly, so they didn't dare to answer.

Li Shimin said seriously: "What do you think of me, but it's okay to say it."

With Li Shimin's encouragement, everyone put down their worries, and everyone spoke freely!

Wei Xuanzhen was impatient and said, "Your Highness the King of Yue loves the people as much as his son, and everyone knows it. Everyone in the world says he is wise. For example, this time, land prices plummeted and the people could not live their lives. Your Highness the King of Yue was anxious and thought about what the people thought. My ministers admired it very much. What's more, Your Highness the King of Yue was well-read and well-informed, which was even more amazing."

Li Shimin laughed again after hearing these words.

At this time, a censor named Yang Yesheng also said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Yue, is very kind and filial, and this... is also well-known."

The others talked about the benefits of King Yue.

This time, King Yue really helped everyone a lot. If it weren't for His Royal Highness King Yue, to be honest, they wouldn't know what to do. Now they've sold the land, and they have received countless real money and silver, at least they have stopped the loss.

They were grateful to the King of Yue, and they couldn't help but think that King of Yue loved the people so much at such a young age. If...

They couldn't help but have a bold thought in their hearts. What if King Yue became the crown prince? Then... everyone can rest assured.

However, this was only part of the reaction, and the performance of Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji and others was very strange.

Every time His Majesty compares the prince and the King of Yue, they subconsciously retreat aside and act cautiously.

Seeing everyone praise Li Tai.

Standing not far away, Li Chengqian's face turned pale. Chen Zhengtai couldn't help but look at Li Chengqian with sympathy!

In history, Li Chengqian thought it was like this that his spiritual collapse gradually and finally he acted rebelliously.

Hou Junji looked at the people who were praised coldly, not commenting on it.

Cheng Yaojin and several other Wu Xun naturally showed a bit of indifference.

At this time, Li Shimin glanced at Li Tai and touched Li Tai's head: "Qing Bird is so young that it has already made my face shine."

Then, Li Shimin looked up at the distant village, but said, "Today was Chen Zhengtai invited me, saying that there was something eye-opening here, Chen Zhengtai."

After being called, Chen Zhengtai immediately stepped forward: "Student is here."

Li Shimin said: "You are leading the way forward, what do you want to take me to see?"

Chen Zhengtai smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know after seeing it."

Everyone couldn't help but become curious!

So Chen Zhengtai led the way, and everyone followed behind him, and actually went up the mountain along the trail.

The ministers were all thinking about his Majesty’s thoughts, but when they saw the distance, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

What appeared before them was a huge mine.

The mine is continuous, and here... the entire mine vein seems to be hollowed out.

No one could have imagined that there was a mineral vein here.

At this moment, Changsun Wuji was cheering up. The Changsun family also operated many mines, especially iron ore, so they knew it well.

But... he still felt shocked and couldn't help but say, "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible."

Everyone withdrew their gaze and looked at Changsun Wuji one after another.

Li Shimin smiled and said, "What's impossible?"

Changsun Wuji said: "Your Majesty... Look at this mine vein, it has obviously been dug for at least decades, otherwise such a large pit would not have appeared. However... I clearly know that before this year, no mine was found in this county. In other words, Your Majesty enfeoffed Chen Zhengtai here, and the Chen family found the mine vein here. If that is the case, how could such a large pit appear?"

Changsun Wuji is indeed good at managing his family's industry, and his knowledge of this mine is definitely not comparable to ordinary people.

Everyone looked at the pit and nodded one after another. The mineral veins in front of them seemed to have been cut off half of them. This was a man-made trace, and it was definitely not the magical craftsmanship of nature. It was impossible to do without decades of continuous digging and mining.

But... it is obvious that there was no news about the ore veins found here before. This is the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Prefecture, and it is also considered to be at the foot of the emperor. If there is any discovery, even if the civil and military officials in the court cannot be alarmed, at least... they cannot hide it from Changsun Wuji.

Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, then looked at Chen Zhengtai and said, "Chen Zhengtai, when did the Chen family discover this mine vein?"

Chen Zhengtai said: "Just half a year ago, the students discovered this place by chance after His Majesty made the Chen family's fief."

lucky……

What luck did this Chen surname have?

It makes people jealous.

Wei Xuanzhen couldn't help but sarcastically said, "No wonder Chen dared to collect land everywhere. It turned out that there was a treasure pot at home."

This was very jealous and sour, and with a little sarcastic expression, everyone smiled.

This fool doesn't know how to cherish money. Now the price of grain has fallen to the bottom. Not only can arable land not make money, but it will lose money. How much land has the Chen family purchased? Fortunately, His Highness King Yue asked the Chen family to pay for the land. Otherwise, everyone would really have to eat the soil.

It's strange that at this time, whenever anyone sees Chen Zhengtai, he will not help but think of His Highness King Yue, and then he feels full of gratitude.

Li Shimin suddenly glared at Wei Xuanzhen.

Wei Xuanzhen was startled and realized that she had a little silence and quickly retreated subconsciously.

Only then did Li Shimin focus on Chen Zhengtai and said, "In this way, did the Chen family mine and excavate several months ago?"

“That’s right.”

Li Shimin said strangely: "Since that's the case, it's even more strange. Changsun Wuji is proficient in mining veins. He said that the mine in front of him has not had decades of achievements, so I'm afraid it won't be like this. What's the reason?"

Changsun Wuji was obviously full of doubts and looked at Chen Zhengtai in confusion.

Chen Zhengtai looked at Changsun Wuji and asked, "I wonder how the Changsun family mine was dug?"

Changsun Wuji was stunned and actually asked how to mine and how else could he dig?

He said seriously: "Of course it's the civil servants and coolies who use pickaxes to dig. Why, your Chen family uses other tools to mine?"

Chen Zhengtai said without thinking: "Yes."

Changsun Wuji was originally joking, but he didn't know what Chen Zhengtai said, yes, his chin almost fell off!

What else can I use without a pickaxe?

Chen Zhengtai immediately said, "Your Majesty, the students can't understand it for a while, so why not... I'll ask the students to give me some demonstrations? It's just that here is dangerous. I beg my mentor to move to a farther place."

Everyone was interested.

Especially Changsun Wuji, he couldn't understand.

But he saw Chen Zhengtai hurried into the mine and shouted: "Where are people, people, all come out."

In an instant, the miners who had long been told to rest in the shade of the trees emerged!

The leader had dark skin and grin, and his teeth were white. Obviously... this person was not an ordinary man, otherwise his teeth would have been black and yellow!

Chen Zhengtai looked at it carefully, huh, he looked very familiar, and couldn't help asking: "You are..."
