My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Chapter 301 Chapter 301: The Mine

Under the whole world, could it be the king's land.

Iron ore, salt mine, gold mine, silver mine, no matter what kind of mine, as long as it is a mine, it has been in the hands of the imperial court since ancient times, and others are not allowed to mine it privately.

If it is mined privately, it is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the clan.

Silver can be extracted from this galena, which is only mined by the imperial court.

Although the Dongba people have never paid taxes to the imperial court, Wolong Mountain and even the Dongba people are under the rule of Dayan. This mine belongs to the imperial court.

Yang Weiming thought a lot in his mind. There is galena here, so he must report it to the higher authorities.

Before that, he had to figure out how many galena there were, whether it was a large mine or a small mine, and what kind of mine, the way of reporting was also different.

And the discovery of mines is a great achievement.

Thinking like this, Yang Weiming took a deep look at Xu Yinyin, and then told her to be calm, and leave the rest to him first.

Xu Yinyin: I'm not impatient at all, just don't doubt me, and don't ask me about my "secret recipe booklet".

Yang Weiming had the bottom line in his heart, and when he looked at the patriarch again, he felt that his expression was indeed unnatural. In this way, it seemed that he was hiding something from them. Before, he thought it was something else, and he didn't go this far. Think about it.

Who would have thought that poisoning is due to mines, and mines can also be poisoned?
At this moment, Yang Weiming had a rare distraction, because he thought of the place where he worked before, the Damingshan Iron Mine was mined in that jurisdiction, it seemed that the people in charge of the mining were more or less often suffering from this disease. There are also some hand drills that are as strong as chicken feet.

Could it be that this is also caused by something in the mine?
Yang Weiming secretly remembered this point, thinking that after dealing with the matter here, he would turn around and ask Ms. Xu carefully to see if she knew.

Right now, he glanced at the patriarch of the Dongba clan, and asked the translator to tell him directly, give him a chance, if there is anything to hide, tell him honestly, he can let the past go, if not, he will immediately arrest everyone, one by one, Severe torture and torture will always require a confession. At that time, no mercy will be given!
Hearing this, the patriarch trembled with his hand on crutches. At this moment, he regretted in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would not have listened to Wu Ke. He sent someone out to seek help from the people in the government.

The main reason is that they did not expect that the inexplicable strange disease of the men in the clan might have something to do with the mine...

No wonder, both women and old people were ill. The young laborers who were responsible for mining and refining silver all fell ill and died one after another. Other men in the clan were on top, and later also got strange diseases.

Had they known, they wouldn't have touched that thing.

Since the year before last, how much effort has been spent on mining and digging, and up to now, it has not yet become that silver.

Now he is being suspected by the government again, and if he is a little careless, it will be a catastrophe for the extermination of the clan.

From the corner of his eyes, the patriarch glanced at these guards who looked very powerful, gritted his teeth, and asked the translator to convey: "If I told the truth, can I not be held accountable?"

Yang Weiming nodded, "Truthfully tell the truth, let the past go."

Of course, he has to look at the mining situation, but, as far as he is concerned, the Dongba people probably haven't used the silver, maybe they haven't refined it, otherwise, they wouldn't have exchanged ginseng for silver. up.

As long as you haven't refined a lot of silver, you will be fine. The emperor is not stupid, and he won't care too much about a foreigner who doesn't even know the laws of Dayan.

Those who do not know are not guilty.

The patriarch got Yang Weiming's permission, so he was relieved and confessed immediately.

The people of their tribe relied on picking mountain goods and hunting to go out and sell silver for food and daily necessities, so wandering around the mountains was of course inevitable.

Wolong Mountain is so big that they have lived here for generations and have never traveled all over it.

Just the year before last, when the clansmen were picking mountain goods in the mountain to the east, they picked up two stones that looked very different, and thought it was fun, so they brought them back.

But Sanger, a respected old man in the clan, was shocked when he saw the stone, saying that it was an ore that could refine silver!
When Geinsanger was young, he left the clan to travel and was the most knowledgeable person of the Dongba people, so they believed his words deeply.

So later, under the command of Sanger, the men of the whole family spent more than half a year digging underground, and found that there were indeed mines underneath, as Sanger said!

Later, mining began, and Sanger taught some tribesmen to be responsible for refining.

Sanger learned the ash blowing method outside. The mined ore was melted into a ball in the furnace, and then put into another furnace after cooling, and then heated and smelted. When it was melted, what sank to the bottom of the furnace was silver.

But from the beginning of refining to the present, because the mining progress is too slow, and Sanger died of illness last year, so far they haven't refined much silver.

After the patriarch explained everything, he ordered people to take out the silver that had been refined during this period, and when they were added together, it was only about a few dozen taels.

Immediately, someone took them to the east where the mine was located.

The main reason is that he is too old to walk the mountain road, and he can't lead the way.

Xu Yinyin: I'm very hungry, can we talk about it after eating?

Apparently, the Dongba people were panic-stricken, and no one thought of this at all. Yang Weiming was so focused on the mine at the moment that he couldn't care less about eating.

Xu Yinyin gradually went to the suffix, and then sneaked out of the purse at her waist, actually, she took out dried peaches from the space, quickly stuffed two into her mouth, and gave Asarum two more.

Although her space is small, she often prepares some food in it, and it is convenient to steal a bite occasionally, and it is also convenient to prepare for emergencies.

Asarum was already used to the strangeness, and after picking up the dried peaches, she obediently stuffed them into her mouth.

She didn't even think about why the girl could always take out food from that small purse, and she obviously never saw the girl put food in the purse.

In short, whatever a girl does is right, if she doesn't tell, she doesn't ask.

A few dried peaches went into her mouth, and Xu Yinyin felt that her stomach was barely comforted. Although she was still hungry, she didn't steal any more. The main reason was that Yang Weiming, who was at the front, realized that she hadn't followed and stopped to wait for her.

She quickly swallowed the last bite in her mouth, and stepped up to catch up.

Yang Weiming, however, watched her swallowing movements, and his brain was aroused, "Miss Xu, are you hungry? We old men sometimes forget when we are busy with official duties, and often don't remember to eat on time, but we are so hungry. I forgot that Ms. Xu is still a little girl, not as rough as us big bosses."

Immediately ordered a few guards and asked them to go down and have a look around, and hunt some pheasants and hares back for lunch.

After another walk, the Dongba people who led the way stopped.

Everyone also saw a huge pothole under the mountain depression, which was where the mine dug by the Dongba people was.

Yang Weiming took a quick look and saw that there were small holes in the pit for people to go up and down at intervals, so he knew that Sanger was indeed well-informed and knew how to mine. Which mine did you stay in before?

It's a pity that this person died of illness last year, otherwise, he could still ask him for advice.

The prey hadn't returned yet, so Yang Weiming couldn't sit still, so he took a few people with him and went down to the mine himself, to see the mine with his own eyes.
