Chapter 414: Asking for a Prescription
The weeds are luxuriant.
The wind in the valley blew away the overgrown dandelions, and countless small umbrellas rotated in the wind, and most of them fell on the water.
The subordinate staff dug out the ore, compared the quality one by one, weighed, counted, and registered.
Every time I pass a piece, the incredible emotion in my heart becomes stronger.
"One cubic foot!"
"It's half missing."
"There are at least two abbots who have not yet been named..."
"Why is there so much all at once? Didn't I just come to settle the account last month? At that time, there was no change."
"I heard that this mine was contracted by Mr. Liang."
"Master Liang, which Master Liang?"
"Who else, Mr. Liang, the snake-killer! Didn't you go to the Water Temple this morning?"
"Didn't you say that the Li family keeps it for themselves?"
The mine supervisor who took the lead in the count glanced around and frowned: "The dry veins recorded in the catalog? Why were there so many medium-grade mines dug in half a month? The Li family concealed the report?"
Li Jiazi, who was accompanying him, lowered his body and said, "I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty. I have been digging for the 'broken silver' in the 317 mine for more than two years. Your Excellency has seen it with your own eyes before. Moreover, if you really want to conceal it, why do you want to bring your Excellency here to count it today?" ?”
"That's true."
"Do I need to inform Eunuch Li?"
The mine supervisor shook his head: "With two to three cubic feet of medium-grade mine, if there is no follow-up, there is no need to trouble him."
"Follow up..."
Li Jiazi turned around after hearing this.
On the shore, dandelions have accumulated due to the receding tide, like a light snowfall.
Liang Qu stood under the lucky boat, waiting for the subordinate officials to finish the reckoning and take away his part of the blood stone.
"How did Mr. Liang do it? Can you reveal half of it so that Li can know."
Li Xiaoheng looked at the hill-like bloodstone mine in the distance, bowed down and humbly asked for advice.
It was obviously an abandoned place with dry mines, and it had been mined by those lucky martial artists for two years. There was something left, but not much.
Why was Liang Qu able to dig out so many middle-grade blood stones in half a month?
At first, Liang Qu wanted an abandoned mineral vein. Li Xiaoheng only thought that outsiders were curious about blood stones. He never expected that there were so many prospectors and diggers in the family, but they couldn't compare to a young man who was less than twenty years old!
Although there were not many middle-grade mines of three cubic feet in the heyday of blood stone mining, the information revealed in them was particularly important. Could it be that a new vein had been detected?
Liang Qu smiled and said, "Is the Li family leader thinking that I may have dug a new vein of minerals?"
"A slight guess."
"That's wrong. I didn't dig a new vein. I just used an unusual method."
"Unusual method?" Li Xiaoheng was puzzled.
Liang Qu didn't answer. He stretched out his right hand and spread his fingers. A blood-colored gemstone with red light came into view.
Li Xiaoheng's pupils shrank sharply: "The best blood stone? This is Mr. Liang?"
"more than."
"more than?"
Liang Qu glanced at the mine supervisor and rummaged through his pockets.
Expand again.
The red light is more abundant.
Two more blood gems!
Three in total!
That's right.
Fist found more than one top quality blood gem!
When I ran out of the hole earlier, the giant pincers were holding the third one!
Li Xiaoheng's breathing was stagnant and his heart was beating fast.
An unexhausted blood stone vein may not be able to dig out a top-quality blood stone in a year.
The entire Li family has not seen a new top-quality blood gem for three years.
how come……
Liang Qu saw that Li Xiaoheng was breathing rapidly and his face was slightly red. He was very proud, but he couldn't help but feel regretful.
He asked: "The imperial court's management and registration of bloodstone mines are very lax? I have to leave before I come here to record?"
Having heard that the imperial court wanted a majority, Liang Qu thought the review would be very strict, but he didn't expect to come after the fact.
Li Xiaoheng didn't know the purpose of Liang Qu's question, his heart skipped a beat, he glanced at the mine supervisor in the distance and whispered.
"In the past, it was strict. Every entrance to the mine was guarded by subordinate officials. Special personnel were assigned to record and search the body. No one was allowed to steal the mine without permission. He was allowed to hide a piece of medium-grade mineral the size of his finger and was given twenty sticks. In recent years, it has become more and more relaxed.
On the one hand, the mine output is getting less and less, and it is not worth maintaining such a large system. There must be subordinate staff at the mine entrance, and the subordinate staff must be managed. Supervision must be made between the subordinate staff and the management system, and in addition to supervision, there must be inspection.
One ring after another, everyone needs to eat up and down. In the past, the blood stone produced a lot and could be maintained, so it was not a burden. However, if the output is small, more than 80% of the blood stone has been cut.
On the other hand, the mining of bloodstone mines is under the jurisdiction of the Mining Department of Nanzhili. The local chief of Xiangyi County is an old eunuch in his eighties who has returned to his roots. He is a master directly appointed from Nanzhili to open up the three bridges.
In the past, we could often see him personally presiding over the opening ceremony of the mine and making regular spot checks. Nowadays, we can still conduct large-scale excavations, but for those few projects, Eunuch Li no longer shows up.
Could it be that Mr. Liang..."
Li Xiaoheng thought Liang Qu wanted to monopolize it, and now the opportunity was great. God knows what you know and what I know.
etc.
If you want to keep it to yourself, why should you let yourself know?
Liang Qu thrust three top-quality blood stones into Li Xiaoheng's hands.
"Master Li, go and record it in the book. We will divide the rest in half."
"Ah?" Li Xiaoheng was stunned, "Master Liang, are you serious?"
"really."
Liang Qu's expression remained as usual, and he sighed in his heart.
It was quite difficult for him to make this decision.
There are hundreds of square meters of medium-grade blood stone mines. It is impossible to hide them. They must be divided into accounts. You don't have to think about it. But the top-grade blood stones are bigger than your fingers.
I actually experienced a fierce battle between heaven and man in my heart. Even when the mine supervisors arrived, they were still hesitant and just made up their minds.
never mind.
Pay your taxes well and live with peace of mind.
Bloodstone is harvested, and the fist takes the greatest credit.
With it here, I will come often in the future, earn more and earn less, and I will no longer cause trouble for myself.
Martial arts has entered the realm of smoke, and the state of mind is clear, which is more beneficial than two blood gems.
For the future!
Liang Qu couldn't stop talking about it and tried not to look at it because he didn't want to.
Li Xiaoheng repeatedly confirmed that Liang Qu really wanted to register and create a register. He was not kidding. He was greatly shocked and ran to register in a daze.
The subordinate officials were in an uproar.
The mine supervisor repeatedly confirmed that he couldn't believe that three top-quality blood gems could be dug out of an abandoned mine vein?
While excited, I carefully recorded it in the book.
When Li Xiaoheng comes back, there will be only one of the three blood gems left...
"According to the agreement, the Li family head and I are 50/50, and this blood gem is one for each of you and me..."
Before Liang Qu finished speaking, Li Xiaoheng bowed his hands with his hands above his head and bowed down.
"Yu Li Xiaoheng, please give me a prescription from Mr. Liang! From now on, I, Li Jiadan, produce blood stones, regardless of size or quality, and I am willing to share them in half with Mr. Liang!"
Liang Qu helped Li Xiaoheng up: "It doesn't have to be like this. The recipe is very simple. Has Mr. Li ever heard of treasure-hunting rats?"
"I heard something."
"I have a very similar one under my command. It can be used to find mineral deposits."
What a mythical beast!
Li Xiaoheng's heart was filled with turmoil.
A long while.
Li Xiaoheng sighed.
"In this case, Li is not the one who wins people's love."
Regardless of whether it's true or not, the words have reached this point, and I have no idea what to do.
"However." Liang Qu changed the subject, "There is something I can tell Mr. Li."
"Master Liang, it's okay to say so."
"What the head of the Li family said earlier is that the best blood gemstones are as spiritual as ginseng and will run away when they hear the sound. This is not groundless."
