Invincible son

Chapter 710 709 [Artifact]

In the northern suburbs of Kyoto, the Shouyang Mountain Mine.

After several years of development here, various facilities have become more and more standardized.With the continuous efforts of Wang Yong and Qi Jun, the mine has become a large area covering hundreds of acres and employing more than 2 people.

Today, the daily output of honeycomb briquettes can fully meet the needs of millions of residents in Kyoto, and the sales area has begun to expand to the periphery of Kyoto.Although the daily income here is not as exaggerated as in Qinyuan, it is stable enough, and it is still a cornucopia that cannot be discarded for Pei Yue.

Of course, he didn't come to the mine today to inspect the work level of Qi Jun and others.

Thousands of elite soldiers from the Weiying camp rode their horses, and the sky was full of dust on the straight road.

Qi Jun personally came to greet him outside the gate of the mine, stepped forward and said respectfully, "Master, please be well."

Pei Yue sat on the horse and looked at him, and said with a smile: "Are you going to start a family soon? You are indeed more mature than before."

Qi Jun scratched his head in embarrassment and said: "Sure enough, you can't hide anything from the young master. The wedding date is set on December [-], and I hope the young master can drink a glass of water and wine then."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "If I'm in Kyoto, I'll definitely go."

Qi Jun raised his eyebrows with joy, but he did not forget the business, and said quickly: "Thank you, young master, for your kindness. The inside of the mine has been arranged according to the young master's request, and Miss Ye arrived earlier."

"it is good."

Pei Yue answered calmly, shook the reins and moved forward, leaving the Wei camp behind him, only Deng Zai and dozens of soldiers followed him into the mine.

There is a heavily guarded building complex in the southeast of the mine, which is the distribution place for honeycomb coal raw materials.

Pei Yue led his soldiers straight into a nearby courtyard.

Ye Qi sat on the porch lost in thought.

"What are you thinking?" Pei Yue came over and asked with a smile.

Ye Qi looked up at him, and said softly, "When does the emperor plan to send you south?"

Pei Yue thought for a while and said: "About half a month or so. The imperial court will definitely argue with the Southern Zhou mission. Although they don't expect them to really hand over the Fang family father and son, they must take advantage of this opportunity. The marriage of that Princess Qinghe also needs to be discussed in detail. When these matters are settled, it is almost time for me to go south to welcome her."

Ye Qi frowned slightly and said, "That's going south at the beginning of July. Considering the round-trip distance, plus you will have to stay in Southern Zhou for a while, it seems that you won't be able to return to Kyoto by the end of the year."

Pei Yue's heart moved, and he smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely not miss our important event."

"Pooh!"

Ye Qibai glanced at him, then turned her head and said, "I'm worried that you won't be able to explain to Sister Zhen'er."

Pei Yue didn't argue with this question, and said with a light smile, "Listen to me, it takes at most a month to go back and forth, and you can only stay in Southern Zhou for a month at most. Departure in July, return to Beijing at the end of September, there are three more I'll take care of the marriage for many months. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't agree to the emperor, this kind of shit is not as important as our marriage."

Ye Qi felt joyful, but felt a little bit ashamed, and changed the subject, "Those craftsmen inside are worried, thinking that you are going to kill them."

Pei Yue nodded and said, "Just to make them afraid."

After saying that, he led the soldiers to the main hall at the back, Ye Qi hesitated a bit and followed, but he didn't go in, just listening quietly outside the window.

The hall was spacious, and there were more than [-] craftsmen in ordinary clothes standing anxiously. When they saw Pei Yue walking in surrounded by soldiers, they immediately lowered their heads and held their breath.

Pei Yue looked around and said calmly, "I'm Pei Yue, Marquis of Zhongshan. You should have heard my name."

A group of people quickly replied: "See you, Lord Hou."

As they spoke, they saluted in a mess. Some people knelt down and kowtowed, and some made big bows. The scene could be described as neither fish nor fowl.

Pei Yue didn't smile, and said lightly: "Forget it. Since you are the ones caught by the Hougu military plane in Guangping, you must know about my relationship with him, so let's make a long story short."

He walked up to the craftsmen slowly, glanced over one by one, looked at these honest and fearful faces, and said in a slow tone: "I want to do something for the court, and I need to rely on your skills. For the court For me, this matter must be kept secret, and no information can be leaked, can you understand what I mean?"

The craftsmen quickly responded, "Cao Min understands."

When Daliang established the country, they did not deliberately distinguish between ethnicities, and craftsmen were also good citizens, but in reality these people's status was very humble.Not to mention that with Pei Yue's status, even a random servant in the Kyoto Prefecture can dominate them.Of course, this is not the case for these craftsmen in front of them, because they have another layer of identity, that is, they belong directly to the Guangping Marquis Mansion, and even the Kyoto Mansion can't control them.

In fact, not only Gu Liang did this, but also those nobles who held military power in the capital. After all, they had to support their own soldiers and guards, so they must be more at ease with the weapons and equipment made by their own people.

Pei Yue will do the same in the future, but there is too little time now, and he is absolutely assured of Gu Liang, so he simply asks for a group of craftsmen from him.

He walked up to the elderly craftsman in the middle and asked gently, "Are you Lin Qian?"

The middle-aged craftsman bowed and replied, "If you go back to Lord Hou, the grass man is Lin Qian."

Pei Yue smiled and said: "I heard that you are the best blacksmith under Uncle Gu's staff."

Lin Qian had obviously studied for a few years, and his words were not as vulgar as the others, so he replied in awe, "Your Majesty's absurd praise, the grassroots are ashamed."

Pei Yue raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement. Lin Qian, who was nearly fifty years old, felt that his bones were a little lighter at this moment.

Then Pei Yue said to everyone: "I will tell Lin Qian what to do specifically, and he will lead you to study it. The basic salary for working with me is ten taels of silver per month. If you can meet my requirements in time After completing the task, everyone can receive a reward of one hundred taels of silver."

Before the words fell, the craftsmen couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts.

Of course they are very comfortable working for the Guangping Houfu, but Gu Liang is obviously not as generous as Pei Yue, ten taels of silver a month is not a small amount, as long as they can receive it for three months, it is enough for the family to live comfortably for a year.

Pei Yue had a panoramic view of the reactions of these people, and said lightly: "Of course, you can't leave this mine until things are done well. In addition, I will move your family to a remote mine within half a month. In the Green Willow Village not far from here, everyone, regardless of gender, old or young, can get [-] mu of fertile land, and they don’t charge them half of the rent.”

The artisans breathed more and more eagerly.

Pei Yue smiled, pointed to the soldiers behind him and said: "These people are the veterans I brought out when I was in Lingzhou, and they will accompany you here, on the one hand to protect you, on the other hand to monitor you .Don’t blame me for not reminding you that my own soldiers can’t tolerate any sand in their eyes. If you try to leave the mine or contact idlers, not only you will die, but your relatives will also not be able to escape.”

"Caomin dare not, and must do things seriously according to Lord Hou's instructions." The craftsmen responded in unison.

What's slightly interesting is that their voices are very neat this time, compared to the messy ones just now.

Pei Yue made a multi-pronged approach, and gave warnings and threats to the money and the good land, not to domineering in front of these humble craftsmen, but because this matter really cannot tolerate any mistakes.

After beating repeatedly, he handed over the craftsmen to the soldiers, and left Lin Qian alone.

Lin Qian respectfully took a few pieces of paper from Pei Yue, and after carefully examining them, he pondered for a long time and said, "Master Hou, these utensils should be able to be made."

Pei Yue smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, you take them to do it first, and tell my soldiers after the embryos are formed, and they will notify me."

"The grassroots take orders." Lin Qian replied with his head bowed.

Pei Yue left behind forty soldiers, and then left the mine with Ye Qi, and followed him all the way back to the Wei camp.

"What's silly?" Seeing that he was smiling all the way, Ye Qi couldn't help asking.

Pei Yue suppressed his smile and said softly, "Ye Qi, do you know what it means to be invincible?"

Ye Qi thought of the few things he had seen in the secret room of Green Willow Manor, and couldn't help but look at him suspiciously.

Pei Yue did not deliberately emphasize, but sighed meaningfully: "You will see it in the future."

"drive!"

He whipped the horse and accelerated suddenly.

Seeing his vigorous figure, Ye Qi couldn't help but smile, and followed him.
