Chapter 141 Let the prince send the line to pick up the jade
For a moment, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Jin Shui's forehead. Her thoughts were changing rapidly. After sending Wuni away, Jin Shui immediately took out a bunch of tools and started pouring them on the table.
All her actions were watched by secret people and reported to Hua Jin in a timely manner.
"It seems like she wants to make Kongming lanterns."
Hua Jin listened to Gu Zun's report and ordered with a smile,
"Keep an eye on her until she finishes the Kongming Lantern and bring it to me. I want to see what she will write on the Kongming Lantern."
"And her concubine Wuni also takes a liking to him."
Gu Zun cupped his hands and said, "Yes!"
At this time, as soon as Wuni walked out of Jinshui's house, a co-worker came up and put his arm around his shoulders, and said very happily,
"Wuni, my mother just said that we can bring our parents and my wife to the village."
"Why are you still hanging out with that woman from Jinshui? Let me tell you, she is not a good and peaceful woman at first glance."
"My Majesty has already said that we don't want prostitutes in our village. My Majesty asked her to change her status as a prostitute to a good one, but she still keeps messing around and flirts with Captain Gu when she has nothing to do. Don't worry about it.
No matter how much money I made, I was coaxed away by this woman."
The workers were all doing Wuni's good, and were afraid that Wuni would be deceived by Jin Shui.
Since Wuni heard that he could bring his family to live in the village, he had been in a daze. Until night, he had not come back to his senses.
As for Jin Shui's instruction to investigate whether there were any capable people around Hua Jin who could detoxify her, Wuni had already forgotten about going to Java.
Jin Shui didn't have time to care about Wuni. She was tinkering in the house until late at night. Finally, she took the finished Kongming Lantern to a secluded place in the village and released the Kongming Lantern.
This village is located in a recess deep in the mountains. Looking up, you can only see the sloping mountainside and the blue sky cut in half by the mountains.
The Kong Ming Lantern released by Jin Shui was caught by the Shence Army halfway up the mountain.
The night is like water, and the climate in the deep mountains is cold and cool.
Hua Jin, wearing a long cloak, took the Kongming lantern from Shencejun's hand, scanned the small words on it, and sneered coldly,
"It's really not a worry-free thing."
This Kongming Lantern is densely covered with words, which record in detail everything that happened in Yutou Village.
There is no mention of where this sky lantern will fly or who will receive it.
Gu Zun stood behind Hua Jin and said in a deep voice:
"Empress, what should we do next?"
Hua Jin thought for a while and laughed,
"Change the content written on this Kongming Lantern to say that everything is normal, the village has started mining, and ask the prince to send a line to pick up the jade."
"Then, when one of them comes, we grab one, and if they come two, we grab a pair."
The prince had secretly excavated Nuantian jade from Yutou Mountain for so many years. Those Nuantian jade must have a place to go. Who transported it out? Where was it transported to be stored and carved into beautiful jade?
There is always a sales chain that sells stolen goods for the prince, turning the money from selling jade into the prince's legal income.
Only by finding these people can we make them spit out all the jade they have eaten.
Soon, Gu Zun released the newly modified Kongming Lantern.
Hua Jin looked at the bright yellow lamp flying far into the sky, with a wild and ferocious look on her bright face.
Days passed by, and Eunuch Huang waited day after day in the empty military camp of the city guards, but there was still no sign of the Shence Army.
Princess Biyue sent people to urge her three times a day. When will she get the jade mine in Yutou Mountain?
Eunuch Huang also wanted to know this. He was annoyed by Princess Biyue's urging, so he had to go to the Qi King's army camp far away from Yutou Mountain to see Princess Biyue in person.
Just when I returned to the military camp of King Qi's army, I saw King Qi and Bi Yue looking overjoyed.
Eunuch Huang didn't know why, but after asking, he found out that news had been sent to the village in Yutoushan. The strong men in the village had dug a lot of jade mines, and they just needed to send people to collect them.
It turned out that when the tiger problem first broke out, Huang Eunuch knew that the Yutoushan jade mine was at stake, so he could not fully count on King Qi’s army to eliminate all the tigers.
Without delay, he immediately wrote a letter to the prince, reporting the presence of tigers in the Nuantian jade vein in Yutou Mountain.
The prince immediately sent a spy to Yutoushan to monitor and reorganize the mining affairs in Yutoushan village.
This person's name is Jin Shui.
The person who sent the message was the secret agent named Jin Shui.
"The prince's uncle said that this Jin Shui is quite capable. She is the daughter of the Shuangjue Poison Doctor. If we have any doubts, we can go to the village of Yutou Mountain to contact her."
The joy on Princess Biyue's face could not be concealed. She seemed to have seen piles of raw jade stones transported from Yutou Village and entered the jade factory. After being carefully carved, they became pieces of priceless jade.
These beautiful jade can be exchanged for mountains of gold and silver, they are all hers, they are all hers!
"Eunuch Huang, contact the jade factory immediately and send someone to pick up the jade."
Bi Yue couldn't wait to turn those jade stones into cash.
Eunuch Huang was overjoyed when he heard the news. He knew that after this errand was completed, he would also be able to make a lot of money from the Yutoushan jade mine after it was reopened.
Not to mention 10% to 20% of the annual jade mining volume, that is to say, we can get thousands or eight hundred pieces of beautiful jade a year. Every piece of jade is worth a fortune, which is a huge amount of income.
King Qi on the side heard this, with a sour look in his eyes.
You must know that he only secretly mined a small silver mine in the north. Silver is silver, as much as is dug out. The annual silver production is only enough to cover the expenses of Prince Qi's palace.
The value of Nuantian jade is unlimited. As long as the market price is high enough, a piece of Nuantian jade may be worth one month's silver mine output.
Therefore, there is no way the prince will let go.
King Qi thought sadly, it would be great if he could get a piece of the pie.
"correct."
Eunuch Huang suddenly spoke and turned to look at King Qi,
"The King of Qi's army has to prepare, go to the south of Yutou Mountain, enter Yutou Village, and transport the jade to Tunshan Col. There is a jade factory there, and it has been prepared for a long time."
There are several roads for transporting jade down the mountain in Yutou Mountain, and there are also several jade factories in Prince Edward, which are used to carve these raw jade stones.
However, several large passages were destroyed by Li Yunqing.
It is not appropriate to blatantly resume transportation on these channels at this moment.
But in Yutou Village, there is a small secret road that can transport raw jade directly out of the mountain and into the jade factory in Tunshan Col.
Just because this is a small secret passage in reserve, the cave is narrow, slender and curved, requiring a lot of manpower to carry the raw jade stones out of the mountain.
At present, Eunuch Huang has no available labor force, so he can only use the Qi King's army.
When King Qi heard Eunuch Huang's natural tone, he thought for a moment, "Okay, this is not giving him any benefits and asking him to do hard work again."
How can there be such a good thing in the world? You want the horse to run, but you don’t let the horse eat grass!
On the surface, he agreed, but privately he ordered his subordinates, King Qi's army, to transport half of the raw jade stones they carried out to Guqi Prefecture after entering Yutou Village through the secret passage.
