The Reborn Noble Daughter

 Chapter 310 310. Mines

Feng Jinxu sent them outside the city gate, while Su Cheng and Qiao Shanwei were waiting here early.

 Looking at Qiao Shanwei carelessly, Feng Jinxu didn't know that he was a descendant of the Bai family at the moment, but vaguely felt that this person was unusual.

“Brother, please go back. I will take good care of Ayao. When the matter is over, Su Cheng will **** her back safely. Don’t worry.”

The eyes glanced at Su Cheng. His reputation was not very good, but his kung fu was first-rate!

After all, he is from a family of military commanders, so he can’t be bad at all!

“Well, then you should pay attention to safety on the road and write more letters back.”

 “Don’t worry, brother!”

After watching the group leave, Feng Jinxu turned back to the city, but he did not notice that one of the small group of people following Su Cheng was special.

That is Prince Ding Xiao Tingyi in disguise. Not only does he look ordinary at the moment, but his aura is also well concealed.

Without someone who is particularly close to him, you would not be able to guess who he is at all.

Feng Jinyao was sitting in the carriage and did not notice this detail. It was not until she was more than a hundred miles away from Dongdu City that she gradually realized it.

 Northwest, after this period of rest, the overall situation is much better.

 Since the news of good news came back to Dongdu City, the pressure from Ganzhou has been much less.

Although General Su was not as eager as before in repairing the bridge, he never delayed the construction period.

 Coupled with previous experience and the addition of a large number of soldiers from the Ninth Prince, the speed has indeed improved a lot.

On this day, the Ninth Prince came to Lanshui River in person and asked General Su.

 “Can the bridge be opened in another ten days?”

General Su shook his head, "It will take fifteen days at the earliest. This new wooden bridge will bear too much weight. If we rush to complete the project, we may not be able to withstand the heavy pressure of the army crossing the bridge."

The Ninth Prince didn’t quite understand this, but the difference between the tenth day and the fifteenth day wasn’t much.

 I was still thinking that it would be a good thing to see a more complete Liangzhou after I crossed the river.

So he pretended to say to General Su, "General, thank you for your hard work. I will go back to reorganize the army and support Liangzhou in fifteen days!"

"yes!"

 The words are so exciting, where does Liangzhou still need their support today?

 It would be nice if you don’t bother with it.

 What Su Cheng wanted in his mind was to let Xiao Ji and the others digest the one hundred thousand taels of gold first.

 Otherwise, it would be troublesome for the Ninth Prince to find out something fishy.

So the secret guards of Prince Ding's Mansion were sent to deliver the banknotes across the Lanshui River.

In the military camp, Xiao Ji was silent as he looked at the news delivered and the light but extremely heavy one hundred thousand taels of gold notes in his hand.

Xiao Muqian on the side didn't say anything, as if he was thinking about what to do with the money.

 After a moment, Xiao Jicai spoke.

“Your Majesty, this is also a way to repay the people. Go and invite the head of the Feng family. He needs to come and turn the money into rain.”

 Otherwise, it would be strange if such a large amount of money came out of nowhere and attracted the attention of the Ninth Prince!

Soon, Fengshan was invited to the military camp. At first, he was a little confused as to what Xiao Ji was asking him to do.

When the banknote fell in front of his eyes, he was still a little surprised even though he had seen strong winds and waves.

“General, where does this come from?”

“General Su sent someone to secretly send him over. It was Beidi who used this to seduce the Governor-General, so there was talk of blowing up the bridge.”

He didn't say much about the rest, especially because it involved King Ding, so it was better for outsiders to know less about it.

Fengshan nodded, "So what the general means..." "I need the money to be legitimate and to use it all for Liangzhou City and the people. Does Brother Feng have any good ideas?"

"The amount of this banknote is too huge, I'm afraid it will be difficult to withdraw it. Fortunately, it is a banknote from Huitong Bank, so it is not difficult to exchange it. I am quite familiar with the shopkeeper of his bank in the northwest, so this matter can be handled through my Feng My family’s mine has been mined once, and then it’s just natural to take it out.”

At the same time, he also suggested, "If the young general has nothing to do, you can come with me. Huitong Bank is not in Liangzhou, but in Xiazhou. That place is closer to the Feng family's mine."

Fengshan explained the matter because he wanted to tell Xiao Ji that he would not embezzle the money.

Uncle and nephew Xiao Ji looked at each other and thought this proposal was a good one.

So he said, "Okay, then my nephew will go with the head of the family."

 “Very good, very good!”

On the second day, the two of them took only three taels of their entourage and headed towards Xiazhou in a light and simple manner.

At this moment, Fengshan didn’t know that it was this money that had brought him endless trouble...

Xiazhou and Liangzhou are only a few dozen miles apart, and the horses they rode were all good horses in the army. Naturally, they had to be faster, and they arrived at the Feng family's mine at 1 p.m.

This was the first time that Xiao Muqian saw the entire mine.

Continuous mountains surround it, looking like a guardian angel, overlooking the earth.

 Some are bare, while others are lush with vegetation.

Especially this April day, which is the season of strong spring. The breeze brings the sweet smell of the grass and trees, which relaxes Xiao Muqian, who has always been in a tense state.

Today, he was dressed as Fengshan’s entourage.

He also wore some disguise on his face, which is a commonly used method in the military, and those who guarded the mine did not notice any difference.

When the people from Fengshan came here, they also took the mine's unique token in their hands. After it merged with the guard's token, they were allowed to leave.

 The rules were so strict that Xiao Muqian was a little surprised.

 After walking into the long and narrow path, Fengshan opened his mouth to explain.

“This mine was given by the founding emperor and has been owned by my Feng family for hundreds of years. The rules here are very strict. Even if the owner of the family comes, he still has to check a lot to prevent anyone from pretending to be someone!”

Xiao Muqian nodded. This is very similar to the rules in the military. It seems that some of the ancestors of the Feng family may have been soldiers.

After riding the horse for a while, we came to a flat house.

“This is the house used by the people who are responsible for guarding and mining the mines. The one in front is where the counting house is.”

The Feng family’s accountant actually only manages the money coming in and out.

The only person who really keeps the books and records is the head of the Feng family.

On this point, the Feng family has not changed for hundreds of years. Otherwise, such a huge wealth is just fat in anyone's eyes. It would be damning if you don't eat it all.

After Fengshan took the others to another room to rest, he turned around and entered an inconspicuous small room next to the accounting room.

 I don’t know what I’m doing, and I don’t know where I’m going.

Xiao Muqian understood that this was the root of the Feng family, and he was an outsider, so he didn't bother much.

It wasn’t until after dark that I saw Fengshan walking out. His face was a little tired, but his eyes were relaxed.

“Major General, don’t worry, this matter has been taken care of.”
