Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

Xu Miao and his colleagues in Hanjia Village did not dare to mine the coal on a large scale. Instead, every household in the village dug some coal and took it back for daily use.

The villagers from other villages and Kangzhuang people have noticed that the people in Hanjia Village have been acting mysteriously in recent times and no one knows what they are doing.

Some curious people from other villages asked the villagers guarding the entrance of Hanjia Village: "What are you doing secretly in Hanjia Village?"

"Why do I see that in recent days, everyone in your Han Village has been secretly moving things back home from that mound?"

"What treasure did you dig out from that mound?"

The location of the mound can also be seen from other villages. People from other villages have seen people from Hanjia Village picking up things there recently, and they are curious about what new actions Hanjia Village is going to take.

Ever since the coal mine was discovered in Hanjia Village, Village Chief Han has issued a strict order that no one is allowed to tell anyone about it.

Now that's a problem. The person guarding the village entrance is clueless when faced with questions from people from other villages.

No matter how you ask, he is like a taciturn person, "I don't know, I'm not sure, don't ask me." He shakes his head like a rattle.

"What treasures can Hanjia Village have? They are all farmers. Hanjia Village is just like your other villages. There is nothing."

"We didn't do anything bad secretly. What bad things could we do in our own village?"

Finally, the people of Kangzhuang heard some news from their own children.

"Mom, the kids in Hanjia Village said their parents picked up some stones from the dirt pile and took them home to use for burning."

After hearing his child's reply, the people of Kangzhuang let out a long sigh, as if a heavy burden had been lifted from their shoulders.

I thought to myself: Taking the stones back and burning them, how big a deal could that be?

Hey, I've never heard of stones being used to make fire. I'm afraid the people in Han Village are confused. "Huh, what a waste of time."

Village chief Han didn't care what the people from other villages thought. In the past few days, he had been at Xu Miao's house, discussing with Xu Miao how to exchange these black stones for silver.

When Village Chief Han saw that the coal could be used for cooking, he knew that the black stone was a treasure.

Now, he wanted to turn these treasures into silver as quickly as possible. The right way was to exchange them for silver.

Village Chief Han was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He asked Xu Miao anxiously, "Ah Miao, do you think the Duke will let us mine on our own for a few years?"

Under that mound of earth, there is a golden rice bowl buried. Now the Hanjia Village is living on top of the golden rice bowl, but this golden rice bowl can only be looked at, not used.

This made Village Chief Han very anxious.

Xu Miao didn't dare to speculate what decision Zhou Chenli would make after knowing about the mineral deposits.

She was also waiting for Zhou Chenli's reply, but Zhou Chenli did not nod.

Xu Miao really didn't dare to dig deep into the coal mine, otherwise, with just one word from Zhou Chenli, everything they had done would be in vain.

Xu Miao and Village Chief Han waited anxiously for nearly a month before Zhou Chenli rushed to Dingzhou City from the capital.

Zhou Chenli arrived in Dingzhou City quietly without notifying anyone. He quietly booked a room in the largest inn in Dingzhou City.

Then, he sent Commander Ye to rush to Hanjia Village to call Xu Miao and the village chief Han.

Zhou Chenli thought to himself that no matter how detailed the description in the letter was, it would not be as clear as asking in person.

So, just wait for Xu Miao and others to come and listen to what they have to say.

Commander Ye arrived at Hanjia Village and found Xu Miao.

When Xu Miao saw Commander Ye, he was stunned and thought to himself: Could it be that Zhou Chenli came in person?

Commander Ye is not someone who can be appointed by anyone. He is the commander-in-chief of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

"Commander Ye, is the Duke here?"

When Xu Miao saw that it was Commander Ye who came, he asked in confusion.

Commander Ye smiled and replied, "Miss Xu, the Duke has come to Dingzhou City. He asked me to pick you up and take you to Dingzhou City. The Duke wants to ask you about the coal mine in person."

"That village chief Han will also go into the city with you."

After hearing what Commander Ye said, Xu Miao didn't dare to delay at all.

She told Chun'er to pour water and make tea for Commander Ye, and she ran out of the house to look for someone at Village Chief Han's house.

"Uncle Han, hurry up and pack up. Let's go to Dingzhou City now."

Xu Miao lowered his voice and said to Village Chief Han, "The Duke of the capital has arrived in Dingzhou City. Commander Ye is at my house now. Chun'er is waiting for him."

"The Duke has come personally, so there must be an explanation for this coal mine issue. Let's go and hear what the Duke has to say."

When Village Chief Han heard that it was the Duke Dingguo from the capital who had come to the Northern Frontier in person, he moved quickly.

Quickly get up and put on your coat.

Then he gave Aunt Han a few brief instructions.

"Hey, old woman, if anyone wants to see me, just say I'm in town on some business, and don't say anything else."

"If there's anything going on in the village, just let the boss and the others handle it first. I'll be back in two days."

After saying that, Village Chief Han prepared to set off in a hurry.

Village Chief Han followed Xu Miao to Xu Miao's house and met Commander Ye.

Village Chief Han and Commander Ye are old acquaintances. Many years ago, it was Commander Ye who brought him out of the cell.

When Village Chief Han saw Commander Ye, he immediately clasped his fists and greeted him, "Commander Ye, it's been years since we last met. I hope you are doing well!"

Commander Ye hadn't seen Village Chief Han for many years. If Zhou Chenli hadn't mentioned this person to him on the road, he would have forgotten about it long ago.

Back then, it was the old Duke who rescued Village Chief Han and saved him from death row.

He went to the cell and quietly brought Village Chief Han back to Duke Dingguo's Mansion.

What happened later was handled by Butler Qian. He met Village Chief Han once in the death row.

Commander Ye also clasped his fists towards Village Chief Han and said, "I hope you are well, Village Chief Han. Before leaving, Steward Qian asked me to bring him to say hello to you."

Seeing that Xu Miao and Village Chief Han were ready, Commander Ye did not stay in Hanjia Village for long. He took Xu Miao and the other two and rode back to Dingzhou City.

Xu Miao and his companions did not take any time to rest along the way and rode at full speed to reach Dingzhou City.

When Xu Miao saw Zhou Chenli living in the private room, he felt like he had seen a relative.

Xu Miao wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Chenli, but Zhou Chenli smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it, we are all family. Madam and A Yuan are still thinking about you."

Zhou Chenli did not ask Xu Miao to kowtow, but sat on the chair and watched Village Chief Han kowtow to him politely.

This was also the first time Zhou Chenli met Village Chief Han. Xu Miao mentioned him in both of his letters.

Zhou Chenli had some impression of the village chief Han, but he didn't know why the old Duke would rescue such a stranger.

There is also a village called Hanjia Village, which is far away from home.

After Village Chief Han paid his respects to Zhou Chenli, Zhou Chenli asked Xu Miao and Village Chief Han to sit down and asked about the coal mine in Hanjia Village.
