Why do you quarrel like a child?

They quarreled and shook their faces at any time, and there was a cold war in the same carriage.

Forget it.

Let them quarrel on their own.

Anyway, as long as it doesn’t affect the business, he, as a big brother, is quite willing to watch his younger brother lively.

The carriage drove out of the capital and walked along the official road outside the city for half an hour. Then they changed the path. After turning around, they finally arrived at the inconspicuous entrance to a valley.

This valley is not far from the official road, with woods blocking it in the middle, and there are no villages or people nearby.

The location is very hidden.

As soon as the carriage reached the valley, two dragon scale guards emerged from the grass like ghosts and stopped them in front of the carriage: "Who is it?!"

The prince pushed open the window and showed his face: "It's me, let go of the way."

The two Dragon Scale Guards were shocked and immediately bowed with their fists: "See Your Highness the Prince!"

"What's the situation in the valley? Are there any outsiders approaching?" the prince asked.

"Everything is normal. There are dragon scale guards nearby. Please rest assured." The dragon scale guard responded in a deep voice.

"good."

The prince responded with satisfaction, closed the window, and said to the two: "Get out of the car first. The terrain in the valley is uneven, and it is a bit difficult to get in the carriage, so it is more convenient to walk."

Zhan Beihan said nothing, and pushed open the car door neatly and jumped down.

"Prince?!"

When the two Dragon Scale Guards saw him, they immediately knelt down and bowed: "I don't know that the prince is in the car, please forgive me!"

"Forgive it!" Zhan Bei said coldly.

The prince and Xiao Lingyue got out of the car later.

"I am here to lead the way, please ask the prince, and the prince will follow you." Two Dragon Scale Guards walked out to lead the way, while the other continued to guard the entrance of the valley, staring at the carriage and the coachman.

The entrance to the valley is narrow, with mountains on both sides and rugged rocks.

Overgrown weeds on the ground.

It had just rained again recently, and the soil on the ground was a little wet. Xiao Lingyue followed a few people and saw the weeds on the ground bent and there were deep traces of ruts.

It should be left by a cart that transports wood and stone raw materials.

Although the traces have been artificially covered up, they are still obvious when you look closely, extending all the way to the valley.

Under the leadership of the Dragon Scale Guard, the prince fought against Beihan and Xiao Lingyueshen/entered the interior of the valley.

There is a flat open space.

There were Dragon Scale Guards patrolling back and forth near the open space, with unlit torches placed next to them.

In the center of the open space, it was divided into two parts. On one side was the stone fixed on the cart, which were large and small, and on the other side was covered with gray-brown oil cloth. The accumulations like hills were tightly tied with hemp ropes, and the shape of thick logs could be vaguely seen.

The prince walked to the open space and said to Xiao Lingyue: "These are the wood and stone raw materials that were intercepted by our palace and transported out of the Ministry of Works' warehouse."

"So many?" Xiao Lingyue was shocked by this scale.

For a moment, I almost mistakenly thought I had walked into the quarry.

"This is not too much." The prince laughed and shook his head. "There are several huge quarries near the capital. Wood and stone are shipped out of the warehouse every half month and transported to various places. This is just the earliest batch, and there are more in the back."

A quarry is a place where quarries are mined specifically.

Like minerals, they belong to the court.

Half of the people working in it are civilians serving, and half are prisoners who have committed crimes.

The civilians were summoned by the court and went to a certain place to perform free labor, without wages, and the time ranged from several months to several years.

This is called corvee service.

Service is something that every civilian must do, just like the imperial court recruitment.
