Rich and wishful

Chapter 226

After investigation, Liu Heng and An Ruyi found that although the Lingshi mine was only small, it would not be enough to dig it with all their strength, even a few months.But it's impossible not to dig and throw it here.Spiritual stones are in short supply. There are not many spiritual stones in Ruyiju. Even if you save more, they will already be used up. If you don't replenish them, there will be no stock.

Thinking of how she promised Liu Yue and Princess Lijun that she would not leave them in a short time, An Ruyi smiled wryly, the plan really couldn't keep up with the changes.There was no way but to tell them the truth.Fortunately, Princess Lijun and Liu Yue both understood, and Liu Yue comforted An Ruyi very obediently: "Mother, the business is important."

Immediately, Liu Yue's words moved An Ruyi so much that she hugged her and said that she was caring for her daughter.Liu Yue is also very proud of what he said.

After sending a few people back to the hot spring village in the west mountain of the capital, Liu Heng and An Ruyi rushed to become "miners" again.The two dug for five full months before they reached the center of the Lingshi mine, where they saw a lot of mid-grade and top-grade, even top-grade spirit stones. After digging for more than a month, the two saw There seemed to be a lot of spirit stone mines, so I wondered if my original investigation was wrong. This is actually not a small spirit stone mine?

Seeing that the time outside has reached the end of the year, and the Chinese New Year will be over in half a month.The two of them felt that the spirit stone that had been dug for so long was almost done, so they simply gave up and planned to return to the capital first.

For the remaining spirit stones in the spirit stone mine, the two simply stopped digging. They arranged a formation at the entrance of the mine, and used jade slips to mark the location.

It is also possible to save these for later.

Sitting on Feihua, Liu Heng and An Ruyi entered Ruyiju, seeing the countless spiritual stones they had earned through hard work for more than half a year, their excitement was beyond description, and they counted them.

The number of low-grade spirit stones is at most about 150 million.

There are also top-grade spirit stones worth about 8000 yuan; top-grade spirit stones cost about 3 yuan;

"Now you really don't have to worry about the Lingshi." An Ruyi couldn't help smiling brightly, "Even if you throw away a piece, it can last for a long time."

"I just got a few spirit stones and now I'm thinking about extravagance, why don't I just throw one away?" Liu Heng scratched her nose and teased.

"I just described that there are many spirit stones. I like it and I am happy, are you not convinced?" An Ruyi slapped his hand away unwillingly, shaking her head and giggling to herself.There was someone who could lean on each other wholeheartedly, and she began to feel that she was getting smaller and smaller as she lived.

"Fine, fine, it's up to the lady to make the decision. As long as the lady likes it, we will throw one piece away." Liu Heng agreed.

"I don't want to, digging the spirit stones is also very hard, okay!" An Ruyi immediately retorted, and Liu Heng laughed.

Back in the capital, Liu Heng and An Ruyi lived in the Lijun Prince's Mansion for two or three days before returning to their own Zhen Guogong Mansion.Not long after returning to the mansion, the big housekeeper came to report to Liu Heng that King Qi had come to the house.

Liu Heng led Qi Wang to the study to talk.

Although the two hadn't seen each other for a long time, they didn't feel unfamiliar at the first meeting.After exchanging a few words of pleasantries first, after talking about some irrelevant trivia.King Qi naturally asked about Liu Heng's shipbuilding progress on the deserted island in Qu Country.

The reason why King Qi knew about the shipbuilding was because Liu Heng had been away from the capital for such a long time, so he couldn’t explain to King Qi at all. I knew it, so I used this as an excuse, and by the way promised him [-]% of the caravan's profits in the future.

Of course, King Qi was telling the truth, and it was impossible to report the truth to Jinshang. In fact, when it was discovered that Lingshi Mine had sent his father-in-law’s family back to the capital, Liu Heng entered the palace and handed over his errands to him. resigned.

Anyway, apart from his title, his errands are not that important, and he made it clear that he belongs to King Qi. He resigned from the errand. On the surface, it seems that King Qi lacked support, but it made King Qi more at ease today. I feel that King Qi is not like his other sons, staring at his seat like a hungry wolf.

"It went well. I found a lot of shipbuilding craftsmen in the territory of Qu Country. After repeated attempts, I finally successfully built the first "building ship" last month. The ship is six stories high and can carry 3000 people on a long-distance voyage. .”

Speaking of the achievements of shipbuilding, Liu Heng smiled.

"The results of the trial voyage are also very gratifying. Now the craftsmen are continuing to rush to work. It is expected that our fleet will start the first long-distance voyage before June next year. It is a pity that the distance is too far, and the prince will not be able to see it with his own eyes. gone."

"Didn't expect it to happen so quickly?" King Qi was surprised. When he asked, he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

"We have nautical charts. Once the ship is built and out to sea, it will be much easier." If you want to win people over, you must spend money, and money is actually very expensive.

King Qi nodded, and the smile on his face relaxed a lot. Without money, nothing can be done.

"Have you heard about King Jin?" King Qi suddenly asked.

"heard."

In the past two or three days since Liu Heng came back, someone has already reported to him everything that happened in the capital during this period.

Under their precise arrangements, the adulterous relationship between King Jin and Princess An was finally exposed in front of Jinshang, and they still caught the adulterer on the spot indisputably.At the same time, Xu Weifeng's life experience could not be hidden.

Although the incident didn't make a big fuss in the end, almost all the high-ranking dignitaries in the capital spread the word, but because of the face of the royal family, everyone dared not talk about it in the open.

Afterwards, King Jin was found guilty and demoted to common people, and his family was allotted to border towns.On the way, King Jin and Princess Jin didn't make it through and died.

Princess An was given the Bai Ling, and within a few days, Xu Weifeng also died due to a "cold".

Although the concubine Duan in the palace was not granted death, it was really worse than death.The emperor deeply hated her sons and daughters for doing such inhumane scandals, and completely disgusted her.She was directly deprived of her title, demoted to a court lady and assigned to the Clothes Bureau.

From the concubine in charge of the palace power to the most humble maidservant, under the huge gap, there are countless others who come to take pleasure in trampling on her dignity. Suicide failed.

Prince Chong, the brother of Prince Jin and Princess Anguo, was always honest, but he was not implicated much, but he was called into the palace by the emperor to reprimand him once, and when he returned to the palace, he became even more shy and didn't go out easily.

After this incident, Jinshang's health became worse and worse, and he suffered a serious illness. Although he survived in the end, his spirit became more and more weak, but even so, Jinshang still refused to establish a prince.
