Warring States Eagle

Chapter 35 Copper Mine

After carefully inspecting the remaining grottoes, Zheng Liang found hundreds of spears, dozens of swords and more than 40 pairs of simple armor, and hundreds of catties of iron and copper materials also made Zheng Liang happy, which just happened to solve the problem. At present, there is a shortage of farm tools in the territory.The dozens of pieces of cloth found in the end made Zhengliang almost burst into tears. His two clothes had been damaged after several battles. They were all mended by Matsumiko and Dongxiang Ju. Now he has these Cloth does not have to be dressed like a beggar.

Carefully covering up the secret storage place, leaving two ashigaru guarding the entrance of the grove, Zheng Liang led the crowd back to Oishinoji's yard in a hurry.At this time, Dongxiang Heiji had already led the patrol team to wait there.

Seeing Zheng Liang's return, everyone saluted.After the ceremony, Togo Heiji said excitedly, "Your Highness, on behalf of the people at the foot of the mountain, I thank you for avenging them. We are finally free from the threat of these damn bandits."Dongxiang Heiji, who has been persecuted by bandits, trembled slightly, and choked up for a moment.

"Okay, Heiji, everything is over, but there are still many things waiting for us to deal with." Zheng Liang walked in front of Togo Heiji, and patted him on the shoulder lightly to express his comfort.This "old man" in his 40s was forced to wander here after suffering the crime of exile, and led the townspeople to fight against the bandits. It has indeed been difficult for him in the past few years.Now that the biggest threat in front of him has been eradicated, it is no wonder that he lost his composure for a while.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will swear to follow Your Highness to the death." Dongxiang Heiji knelt on both knees to show his loyalty. He was forced to elect this lord because of survival, but now he is truly convinced.

"Heiji, together with Xingsuke, you and Xingsuke will search the entire village once with these little guys, making sure not to miss a grain or a copper coin." Seeing that Dongxiang Heiji's mood gradually calmed down, Zhengliang pointed to the two people standing in the yard. The patrol team of the platoon arranged.

"Yes, Your Highness," Togo Heiji said immediately.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Just as Zhengliang was about to explain further details of the search, an ashigaru hurried in, "Your Highness, Tsuda-sama, please go over there for a while."

When Zheng Liang heard this, his heart skipped a beat. Did something happen there?So he quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Your Highness, a small copper mine was found over there, so Tsuda-sama invites you to go and have a look," Ashigaru replied hastily.

"Copper mine?" Masara was extremely surprised, and then looked at Xingsuke to the side.

"Your Highness, I don't know that there is a copper mine in the cottage." Xingsuke was obviously taken aback by the news.

"Okay, take me to have a look right away, and you all come together." After leaving two ashigaru to guard the warehouse in the yard, Masara, accompanied by the ashigaru who reported the letter, went to the place where Tsuda Guangzong discovered the copper mine.Walking along the trail to the north for nearly two quarters of an hour, I saw several people standing at the foot of the mountain at the junction of the cottage and the small mountain in the north, and one of them was Tsuda Hiromune.

"Your Highness", seeing Zhengliang coming, Tsuda Hiromune immediately walked over quickly, "They are mining refugees who are imprisoned in the prison of Banshi's house. We learned from them that there is a small copper mine here. It has been mined for nearly a year," said Tsuda Hiromune, pointing to the few people behind.

"Oh? Where is the copper mine?" Zheng Liang asked, looking at the people behind Tsuda Hiromune.

"Your Highness, the copper mine is just ahead. It was discovered by accident when digging mud and rocks to build a cottage. I went in and looked at it just now. The mine has been dug very deep," Tsuda Hiromune replied.

"Among these miners, is there anyone who knows how to survey? How long can this copper mine be mined?" Zheng Liang continued to ask.

"Your Highness, the refugees who mined the mine said that the person who discovered this copper mine died of exhaustion half a year ago, but he said before his death that this small copper mine can only be mined for another 2 years at most before it will be exhausted. We can only collect about tens of thousands of jin." Tsuda Hiromune seems to have obtained enough information from those refugees.

"It's a pity," Zheng Liang couldn't help feeling sorry for a while after hearing this, "Have you found the copper ore excavated before?"

"Your Highness, I only found hundreds of catties of copper ore materials in the yard in front of the mine. According to those digging people, these copper ores will be transported away every month. These copper ores are also temporarily closed due to Ban Shi Dalang's coma. It couldn’t be arranged, so it wasn’t transported,” Tsuda Hiromune replied.

"Your Highness, these copper mines should have been transported down the mountain." At this time, Xingsuke suddenly said, "Every month, Shi Dalang will arrange for some loyal men to deliver a batch of materials to the foot of the mountain to exchange materials with the Tian family. These are the copper mines."

"The Tano family?" Masara looked at Kosuke suspiciously.

"Your Highness, it was the Tahara family who colluded with Banishi Dalang to attack and kill the old leader at the foot of the mountain two years ago, so Banishi Dalang has been in touch with the Tianno family." It is forbidden for anyone to approach, so most people in the cottage do not know that a copper mine was discovered here, and it is thought that the increasing food in the cottage in the past two years should be exchanged for these copper mines and the materials obtained from the robbery."

"It seems that our neighbors are fat as well," Zheng Liang couldn't help sighing.Xingsuke and Tsuda Hiromune glanced at each other, as if they were startled by a strange language that suddenly came out from the lord.

"Guangzong, take care of these mining refugees. Heiji and Xingsuke will all go separately according to the original arrangement." Zheng Liang ignored the astonishment of the crowd, and continued to make arrangements after thinking for a while.Regardless of the situation of the surrounding local tyrants, it is better to deal with the matter of the cottage first before considering it.

"Yes, Your Highness," the crowd led away in unison.

"Xisaburo, how are you doing with what I told you?" After everyone left, Zheng Liang turned to look at the two surnames following behind him.

"Your Highness, Chujiro-sama and the others are now gathering the remaining personnel in the cottage to the gate of the cottage. Chujiro-sama and the others have cooperated with Onishi-sama's work very well and have not made any unusual moves. The bandit leader Banshi Dalang was also found. When he was found, There are no more males in the yard of Banshi’s house, and the only male, Banshi Dalang, is also in a coma. There was no hindrance during the search,” Kisaburo reported.

"Well, you continue to follow Chujiro and the others, and pay attention to their actions at all times," Masaragi frowned and said.After all, Chujiro and the others are also new defectors, and they are also bandits. Before they are fully familiar with them, it is better to be careful.Although the bandit has perished, there are still local tyrants and even other bandits around him who are much more powerful than themselves. Once they learn about the situation here, they will definitely take action. It is at stake.

"Your Highness..." Xisaburo suddenly knelt on the ground, his voice choked with sobs.

"Hey, what's going on with you?" Zhengliang was taken aback by Kisaburo's sudden movement, and asked hastily.

"Your Highness, please help me find my sister," Kisaburo begged with his head kowtowed.

"Sister?" Zheng Liang felt very confused, but soon thought of something, and immediately asked, "Is your sister in the cottage?"

"I don't know either," Kisaburo burst into tears, "but she was captured by these bandits in the town a year ago. That time, to protect us, my father was also killed, and my sister couldn't do it either." Get it back, and in the end, only my mother and my sister are left in the family, and my mother is also sick in bed, if I can find my sister, my mother's illness will definitely recover."

"This..." Zheng Liang didn't expect such a thing to happen, and felt very uncomfortable in his heart, so he could only comfort him in the end, "Xisaburo, after the meeting gathers everyone together, you can go and find it. I will find it at your mother's place." Find a pharmacist for the territory as soon as possible."Now that's all he can do. As for his sister, if she is caught in such a wolf's lair, the hope of finding her is really slim.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness," Kisaburo kowtowed several times and said gratefully.

"Okay, Xisaburo, take me to Banshi Dalang's yard first, and then you go to the gate of the cottage to help Daxi-sama gather everyone," Zheng Liang arranged.After something like this happened, he probably didn't have the energy to continue monitoring Chujiro and the others, but with Onishi Kuniji and Tsuda Hiromune watching, it shouldn't be a big problem.

"Come on, let's go ahead and have a look." After finishing speaking, Zheng Liang walked forward with the two surnames.
