Traveling back and forth from ancient times to the present, the prince pursues love in the modern ti

"What?" Xie Youzhi exclaimed, "Brother Mo, are you saying there's a gold mine in this mountain?"

Chu Moyuan held his forehead and replied speechlessly, "When did I say there was a gold mine?"

Xie Youzhi: “…”

Am I old and can’t keep up with Brother Mo’s thinking?

"Didn't you just say that we were guarding a mountain of gold without knowing it?" Xie Youzhi argued.

"Anything that can make us money is a gold mine, but..." Chu Moyuan paused and said slowly: "Maybe there really is a gold mine."

Xie Youzhi opened his eyes wide, his eyes shining, and asked excitedly, "Really? Brother Mo, you didn't lie to me? There really is a gold mine?"

"Iron ore is usually accompanied by other mines, such as gold mines, copper mines, coal mines, etc. In fact, I care more about coal mines than gold mines now." Chu Moyuan's eyes were full of hope when he talked about coal mines.

How could Xie Youzhi not understand the importance of coal mines? But it would be even better if there were gold mines. Even if there were any other mines, it would be enough for them to make a fortune. He would not be picky.

After hearing this, Xie Youzhi was immediately excited. "Brother Mo, if there really are other mines, we will really be rich. Not to mention the distant future, at least building a Pingyang County will be a piece of cake, right?"

Chu Moyuan nodded with a smile, "Yeah!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Go and find it quickly. What kind of stone are you looking for? Is it a stone like this?" Xie Youzhi pointed at the stone that Chu Moyuan had just picked up and asked anxiously.

Chu Moyuan stood up and dusted himself off. "I'm just taking a look. Let's go down the mountain and check out the situation at the iron mine."

Niujia Village is not far from the iron ore mining site in a straight line. You can get there by going over here, but it takes some distance to go around by car.

It was almost noon when Chu Moyuan and his group arrived at the iron ore mining site. The three of them casually ate some of the food that Aunt Wu had brought them in the morning, which was packed in an insulated lunch box and included both meat and vegetables.

"It's hard to imagine that before, when we went out and couldn't go back at noon, we would just eat the bread we brought with us.

It’s not like now, when we can have hot soup and hot meals when we go out.

I have to admire my foresight for quickly finding a godmother for myself.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have the blessing I have today." Xie Youzhi muttered to himself while eating, never forgetting to admire his own wisdom.

Chu Moyuan got angry when he thought about how this guy had dared to yell at him since he recognized her as his godmother. He kicked Xie Youzhi in anger and said, "Hurry up and eat. Even eating can't stop you from talking!"

"Hey, stop kicking. If you kick me again, the food will spill. Am I wrong?" Xie Youzhi quickly protected the lunch box.

Du You took his lunch box and sat next to Xie Youzhi, "Master Xie, I don't recognize you as my godmother!"

"Well, so you have me to thank for your meal today."

Du You: “…”

A box of food was eaten in just a few bites, and Du You silently packed up the lunch boxes of the three people.

Since the drought, iron ore mining has stopped. We can’t even get enough to eat, so how can we have the energy to do such heavy physical work?

The officials sent by the Ministry of Works also returned to the capital and have not yet come back, leaving only a few guards here.

"Greetings, Your Highness!" When the guarding soldiers saw the King of Chu coming, they all knelt down and saluted.

"Get up, I'll just take a look, don't worry about us." After Chu Moyuan finished speaking, the guards returned to their posts and did not follow him.

Today's mining is still open-pit mining, which is much less dangerous. At the same time, it also causes relatively serious damage to vegetation.

The once lush mountains are now a mess of rocks and rubble.

From the scattered stones, it can be seen that there is a coal mine here, but it is not a rich mining area and is difficult to notice.

Du You looked at the coal-like object in Chu Moyuan's hand and asked, "Master, do you need to dig around?"

"No need. Let's go back and use the instrument to test where there are rich mines."

"Brother, if there really are other mines, do we still need to hand them over?" Xie Youzhi's expression was solemn.

Chu Moyuan said firmly, "No!"

Xie Youzhi's face relaxed when he heard this answer. Chu Moyuan continued, "We handed it over before because the iron ore is special. If we are not careful, we will be accused of illegally manufacturing weapons. It is not worth taking the risk.

It would be better to use an already mined iron ore to silence the ministers, so that when we have other things in the future, we can also silence them."

After hearing what Chu Moyuan said, Xie Youzhi agreed with his approach. He had been thinking in the wrong way before. He only thought that everything on the fiefdom belonged to the prince, and did not consider that owning the iron mine might arouse suspicion.

"That's good. I was just thinking about it. I was afraid that you would be unable to get over it and hand it in again. Then all our work would be in vain.

It would be nice if it could be used for the benefit of the people, but we all know it will only go into the pockets of those few people."

Chu Moyuan calculated the time, and when he returned to Luofanchen, Xia Youan also came back.

Xia Youan smiled sweetly when he saw Chu Moyuan, "Are you tired?"

Chu Moyuan smiled back, "I'm not tired. Are you disappointed that I didn't pick you up from school today?"

Uh~what happened?

She hadn't, but she didn't know if she could tell.

Xia Youan looked at Xie Youzhi, waiting for him to give a hint.

Xie Youzhi leaned over and whispered to Xia Youan, "This is what happened when you forgot to pick him up from school when he was little, and he still remembered!"

Uh~ Xia Youan dug through his dusty memories and it seemed like there was such a time.

I quickly said flatteringly, "Of course I'm disappointed. You didn't send me to school, which made me feel listless all day. I can't even eat or drink! I can't stop wondering what you're doing. Do you miss me?"

Chu Moyuan knew she was talking nonsense, but he was still comforted by her. He reached out and scratched Xia Youan's nose, "Naughty!"

Shan Ronghao, Du Zuo, and Du You turned their heads away, feeling embarrassed to see the two displaying affection.

Xie Youzhi didn't have this awareness, simply because he had been so mushy with Chu Moyuan since he was a child, and he was used to it!

But that didn't stop him from mumbling to himself, "Oh! I didn't expect you two to be in love, and I have to act as a translator!"

Du Qianhao and the other two had already unloaded the car. After getting familiar with the situation for most of the day, they already knew that this was a thousand years later.

It is separated from Da Chu by a time and space, and that bed is the medium between these two time and space.

so amazing!

Moreover, this world is even more magical. They accompanied Chu Linzhou out for rehabilitation and finally got on the car they had talked about. It was fast and comfortable, and there was really no bumps at all.

During dinner, several people were still talking non-stop to Xie Youzhi and the others.

"Tsk~ You're so excited just for riding in a car, you have no sense!" Xie Youzhi finally couldn't stand Du Qianhao's nagging anymore and criticized him loudly.

"Brother Xie, is there anything faster than a car?" Du Qianhao asked excitedly, holding onto Xie Youzhi's arm.

"Tsk~ Of course, you've never been on a plane, right? You haven't even seen one? Have you ever felt like flying in the sky? No?" Every sentence, every word, was filled with arrogance.

The three of them gathered around him, "Brother Xie, tell me!"

Xie Youzhi proudly extended his hand to the three of them and made a promise, "Give me money!"

Seeing the lively atmosphere at the table, Xia Ronghai exchanged glances with Chu Moyuan, then stood up and walked out.

Chu Moyuan didn’t know what Xia Ronghai wanted to talk to him about, so he whispered to Xia Youan, “I’m going out for a while and will be back soon!”
