Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 1135 Tong San is Dead

The people who gathered around talking about Tong's family were shocked: "Iron mine? Are you telling the truth? You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, and you will be beheaded!"

What is that iron ore?But the good things that are comparable to gold mines, armies, chariots and horses, luggage, farm tools for farming, and cooking pots, which one does not need iron?

Among the four major mines in Dachu, iron ore ranks ahead of silver mines, and is more valuable than silver mines and copper mines.After all, your silver and copper cannot be turned into weapons, but iron can.

The person who spoke before said: "My aunt's grandson-in-law is Huang Bantou. Where did the news come from him? The magistrate and General Zhang of the Fucheng garrison camp have taken people to Yanshan. It is estimated that tomorrow night at the latest. There will be news to come back."

"What? You mean the Tong family's iron mine is in Yanshan?" The big guy was shocked, he didn't expect the Tong family's largest village to be an iron mine.

When an old man heard this, he sighed, "It turns out that there are iron mines in Yanshan. No wonder Tong Changxing sold three shops when his family was in decline, and bought Yanshan after watching the family's abuse."

When the big guys heard this, they asked him one after another: "Uncle Lin, do you know about the purchase of Yanshan by the Tong family?"

Lin Bo is a watchman. It's afternoon. He just woke up and went for a walk. He heard the big guy talking about the Tong family, and he leaned over to listen. He nodded and said, "Well, when the Tong family bought When I was in Yanshan, many people laughed at the Tong family, saying that the Tong family was crazy. Why buy this kind of barren hills that don’t even grow a lot of weeds? You can’t grow much land, and when you open the mountain to quarry rocks, the rocks don’t grow very well. Not to mention that rich people don’t want to build rockeries, even farmers don’t want to build houses.”

"But Tong Changxing said that he asked the old man to check it out. He said that Yanshan's feng shui is good, which matches his horoscope. If he buys Yanshan, the Tong family will not only be rich again, but at least three generations old!"

"Now that I think about it, Tong Changxing knew that Yanshan had iron mines a long time ago, so he sold the only three shops left in his family and bought this golden mountain. He really became rich."

only……

"The Tong family is not a noble family, nor is it the family of high-ranking officials. It is just an ordinary rich family. They cannot own iron mines in Dachu."

This iron ore is linked to weapons, and everything linked to weapons must be in the hands of the imperial court. Even if iron ore is found in your field, as long as you dare to mine it, your nine clans will die.

But Tong Changxing came from a wealthy family, and he was born to live a good life. When he was a teenager, the Tong family began to decline rapidly because of his father's incompetence. After he had tasted the hard life, he was scared to death.When he was in his 20s and his family life became more and more difficult, he became even more afraid. Once he discovered iron ore, even if he knew that mining was a violation of the laws of the Great Chu, he took the risk to do it.

He thought, some wealthy families and honorable officials also have copper mines, so why can't his family have an iron mine?As long as he is careful and secretive, and sells all the iron mines in Yanshan as soon as possible, the court will not know, and his family will be fine.

But things turned out to be contrary to expectations. Master Tong became more and more courageous. From the beginning, he only dared to sell some pig iron secretly, and now he even dared to sell machetes. This is a typical courting death.

Hearing Lin Bo's words, the big guys became scared and asked: "Lin Bo, the Tong family's matter is so serious, the imperial court will definitely come, we Fucheng people won't be affected?"

The common people just want to live an honest and stable life, and they are most afraid of people from the court.If the imperial court came with imperial envoys, the entire prefectural city would be under martial law, and the government would conduct house-to-house searches, ordering them not to go out if they had nothing to do, even going out to work to support their families, so they were very worried.

Lin Bo has lived for more than 60 years, and has experienced everything. Hearing this, he can only sigh: "There is no way, everyone, be honest during this time, prepare more food, oil and salt, don't worry about it." Always go out, be honest, so as not to get into trouble with officials."

After listening to the big guys, the heart of listening to gossip is gone, someone hurriedly said: "Then I have to go to the village outside the city to collect some grain and go home, lest the city gate is closed, we can't get out, and we have to go to the grain shop to buy food." Expensive food to eat."

"Da Cong is right, let's go, let's go out of the city to collect some grain." Many people went out of the city together and wanted to go to the villages outside the city to collect grain.

But they came too late, the gate of the city was closed, and the soldiers guarding the city beat the notice board with wooden sticks, telling the people who wanted to leave the city: "Attention everyone, we are not allowed to go out in Fucheng for a few days. If you need to go out of the city for a major matter of human life, go to the Fucheng Yamen to explain the situation."

"What? The city gate will be closed for a few days? Why?" Someone was very unhappy, and said to the guards: "Master, we are from Neem Village outside the city. We are farmers who come to the city to sell agricultural products. Now It has been sold out, and I have to rush home to harvest the wheat. It is now the end of June, and the wheat will be gone if I don’t harvest it.”

The soldier said: "This is an order issued by the Fucheng Yamen and the Fujun camp. We can't do anything about it. You just stay in the city for a few days. A few days will be fine."

The matter of the Tong family was caught in the present, so there is no need to investigate much. As long as it is confirmed that there are iron mines in Yanshan, the charges against the Tong family can be confirmed. After everyone is caught, everyone can leave the city.

"We need money to live in the city. People in the countryside, how can they have the money to live in a hotel? Military Lord, please do me a favor and let us out secretly. We will definitely remember your great kindness."

The soldiers guarding the city almost laughed angrily, pointed at their own heads and said, "Do you think I'm tired of working? I let you out quietly, and then my whole family was arrested and beheaded?"

What kind of brains, you can even say this, dare to love Lao Tzu's life is not life?

Those who were anxious to get out of the city blushed a little after hearing this, but they are not fools. The city gates are closed and they are not allowed to go out. There must be a big accident in the city. They don't want to be implicated, they want to leave early, and continue to beg the soldiers: "Mr. Jun, please do me a favor, just open a small door and let us out."

The soldiers guarding the city gate gave him a big white stare, and knocked on the ground with wooden sticks in their hands, and drove the people rushing towards the city gate into the city: "Everyone back up, back up, if you dare to make trouble, the knife Stick without eyes!"

The big guy was driven back by a team of more than a dozen soldiers. After being driven more than ten meters away, he put down the basket he was carrying and squatted on the spot, waiting to see if the city gate would open?

But when they waited until it was dark, the soldiers still had no intention of opening the city gate, so they could only return to the city cursing and looking for a place to rest.

Seeing them leaving, the soldiers guarding the city breathed a sigh of relief: "Damn, it's considered leaving. It's really energy-consuming. I thought they were going to sleep here overnight."

After complaining, he talked about another gossip about the Tong family: "Hey, have you heard? The third young master of the Tong family died last night. I heard that he couldn't stand the ransacking of the Tong family. In desperation, he hit a wall and died."
