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

Chu Moyuan stood there and looked for a long time, and suddenly realized that the roses here were planted on both the inside and outside of the wall.

The roses naturally hang down to the base of the opposite wall, forming a huge flower ball, which makes it easy to overlook the thickness of the wall.

Yes! The thickness of the wall!

"Cut down these roses!" Chu Moyuan stood there motionless and ordered Du You beside him.

Although Du You was puzzled, his execution was superb. In the time it took Chu Moyuan to finish his words, Du You had already drawn his sword. Seeing this, the other soldiers rushed forward to help.

Before long, the complete wall was exposed, which was 2 feet thick.

They didn't bother looking for the mechanism, they just broke it open with force!

There was a long staircase at the foot of the wall, and it took two floors to reach the basement.

All I could see were gold, silver and treasures, neatly stacked in boxes against the wall. A rough count showed there were at least forty or fifty boxes.

After more than two years in office and having plundered so much of the people's wealth, the death penalty is inevitable.

Boxes of gold, silver and jewelry were moved away one after another, leaving only an empty basement.

Chu Moyuan ordered Du You to check if there was any secret door. Sure enough, as expected, there was a knocking sound on the brick wall that was obviously different.

After being violently broken open, there was another long passage.

As they walked along the passage, they could feel that they were going uphill. After walking about ten miles, they saw a fork in the road. Du You led his men along the fork, while Du Zuo followed Chu Moyuan to the other side.

When you feel the wind blowing, the mystery will finally be revealed.

The entrance to the cave in front was very narrow, only enough for a big man to pass through. The entrance was covered with thorns, and the thorns showed obvious signs of having been pulled apart by someone.

Shan Ronghao heard some movement coming from the mountain wall and shouted, "Who's there?"

He drew his sword and pressed it against the entrance of the cave.

Chu Moyuan heard Shan Ronghao's voice and replied, "It's me!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Ronghao quickly cut down the thorns at the entrance of the cave and welcomed Chu Moyuan out.

"Didn't the prince lead people to search the county magistrate's residence? How come he appeared from here?"

Chu Moyuan had not expected that there would be a direct route to the iron mine from the County Magistrate’s Mansion. “I came right from the County Magistrate’s Mansion!”

So this is how they transport iron ore!

Shan Ronghao also figured it out, no wonder he hadn't been discovered before!

Another hour later, Du You also came back.

"Your Highness, the fork in the road leads to a place called Niujia Village at the foot of the mountain. On the surface, there doesn't seem to be anything special about that village."

"Let it go for now. If there's any problem, it will eventually show up."

Returning to the County Magistrate's Mansion along the same route, Chu Moyuan ordered people to block the entrance to the passage. It might come in handy someday, so the passage was not blocked for the time being.

Among the dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry seized, there was one box filled with account books.

There are clear records of every amount of money and ore, including when it was transferred, who were involved, to whom it was transferred, and who the contact person was.

But unfortunately, the person who contacted him was just an insignificant fourth-rank official in Prime Minister Shen's camp, and he was not qualified to convict Prime Minister Shen.

But it would be nice to cut off one of his minions.

When a pile of evidence was thrown in front of Yu Qian, he sat down on the ground dejectedly like a deflated ball.

"It's over, everything is over!" Yu Qian kept muttering to himself.

Chu Moyuan quickly wrote a memorial to report the matter to the emperor.

At the same time, Du Qianhao was reinstated and continued to serve as the magistrate of Fengwu County.

When the order of punishment came down, Chu Linzhou and the officials sent by the Ministry of Works also arrived.

The emperor ordered the escort soldiers to immediately escort Yu Qian, his family, and other related personnel back to the capital for trial.

Before leaving, Du You asked Chu Moyuan, "Your Majesty, don't you need us to send someone to follow you? What if they get kidnapped?"

"No, they won't make it to the capital. They'll be killed along the way!"

The matter of the Pingyang County Magistrate has come to a temporary end. Before the emperor sends a new county magistrate, Chu Linzhou will temporarily take charge of the position.

They can now free up their hands to solve other problems in Beichuan.

The people of Beichuan lived in such a poor condition that Chu Moyuan had no intention of building a mansion for the time being. He and Chu Linzhou temporarily stayed in the county magistrate's mansion.

Food is the people’s first necessity. Whoever ensures that the people have enough to eat is the people’s first necessity.

Chu Moyuan’s top priority was the issue of food and weapons for the soldiers.

The weapons were manufactured by the Ministry of Industry, with priority given to meeting the needs of weapons and agricultural production in the Beichuan area, so the weapons problem was basically solved, and the rest was just a matter of time.

When they were free, Chu Moyuan and Chu Linzhou would visit various places to learn about the situation in Beichuan.

The Beichuan area is mostly saline-alkali land with cold winters, so it is difficult for crops to grow.

Sometimes, before the crops are ripe, a cold wave hits and freezes them to death.

Farmers work hard for a year, but their harvest is only enough to keep their family from starving to death. But even so, the government still has to collect more than half of it.

Chu Moyuan informed the emperor of the situation here and requested a five-year deferral of taxes and grain to give them enough time to have children and rest.

The emperor approved it!

Whenever they had time, Chu Moyuan and Chu Linzhou would watch the videos that Xia Youan had downloaded for them, which contained many scientific planting methods.

They were not professionals, but they asked the Ministry of Agriculture and the Agricultural Department to study it together.

How to fatten and breed, how to improve saline-alkali land, how to keep warm, etc.

Lijia Village under Fengwu County was used as a test field to start scientific planting experiments.

During their visit, they discovered a salt lake and used modern knowledge to refine fine iodized salt to alleviate the local gall disease problem.

Because the salt lake produces enough salt, the problem of salt consumption in Beichuan area has been solved, and local people can buy salt at a low price.

At the same time, external supplies to other regions have brought a lot of financial support to Beichuan.

The following year, winter wheat matured, but the results were not ideal.

Although the output has doubled, the previous base was too small, so the doubling only increased the output from less than 100 kilograms to less than 200 kilograms.

It still cannot solve the problem of food and clothing for the people.

In July of the same year, explosive news broke out in the capital.

The seventeen-year-old Xie Youzhi, the newly crowned top scholar and the eldest grandson of the Imperial Censor, requested to be appointed as the county magistrate of Beichuan, a remote place.

This was puzzling enough, but something even more puzzling happened. Not only did the censor not stop it, he actually accepted it with pleasure!

shock!

The eldest grandson of the Censor made a mistake and displeased the Censor, so he was exiled to Beichuan to suffer!

In August, the emperor appointed Xie Youzhi as the magistrate of Fengxiang County, in charge of all affairs in Fengxiang County.

Choose a day to set off!

No one is able to understand what the emperor is up to!

In September, Xie Youzhi stood in front of Chu Moyuan.

After more than a year of separation, Xie Youzhi saw Chu Moyuan again and hugged him excitedly and acted coquettishly.

"Brother Mo, I miss you so much. Do you miss me?"

Chu Moyuan disdainfully pulled away Xie Youzhi's grip on his waist.

"In no mood!"

“Brother Mo, Sister Xia said that if a woman says no, she means yes.

Similarly, saying you don’t want it actually means you want it, and the same goes for men!

If you miss me, just tell me, don't be shy!"

yue～

Everyone vomited!

"Get off!"
