"It should be my father's mine, what kind of mine? I haven't asked." Zhou Wanqian felt that Yan Xuehuai was embarrassed by her. How could she know about such things? She didn't care about these things.

Yan Xuehuai was speechless. He was strict in modern times, not to mention in ancient times. All the land under the sky was the king's land. Minerals were related to the needs of the country. Farmers went to mine for profit, which not only would they abandon farmers and plough the farming, but they would also cause chaos in the people due to gathering crowds. More importantly, random mining would destroy the dynasty's dragon vein Feng Shui.

Although Yan Xuehuai didn't know how the Wei Dynasty managed mining affairs, he could also guess that it was definitely illegal to start mining privately.

Her uncle, who occupied the mountain and became a bandit, and then worked as a side job in a private mining business, seemed to be not inconsistent.

Yan Xuehuai decided to remind Zhou Dadang to prepare for the aftermath in advance.

The next day, Li Qiniang went to Li Shiji, and Yan Xuehuai went to talk about this matter with the Zhou Dading Master. Zhou Dading Master said: "The mining government implemented in this dynasty is still set by Taizu when the founding of the dynasty. At that time, the dynasty was initially established, and there was no shortage of money and food. Therefore, the emperor strictly controlled the minerals. Gold, silver, iron, copper, and tin were all sent by the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue to mine, and local and civilians could not interfere. During the reign of Taizong and Gaozong, the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue cut more than 20 heads, all because they were greedy for mining.

During the reign of Renzong and Baokang, royal families, nobles, and many high-ranking officials had to open mines in private. There were more and more private mines among the people. Every year, countless people were killed and injured in mine disasters. There were constant riots in various places. When the Empress Dowager wanted to take charge, it was too late. Later, when the son of the son rose up today, he raised an army."

Yan Xuehuai thought of the Prince Yu's Mansion at that time, and she asked, "Did Prince Yu's Mansion also open a private mine at that time?"

Zhou Dadajia smiled and said, "I don't know this."

In fact, if the head of Zhou Dajiao was not talking about it, Yan Xuehuai could also guess that the Prince Yu's mansion could take the Cao Gang for his own use, so it would not be impossible to mine an iron ore to build weapons.

The head of Zhou Da paused and said, "No matter whether the emperor has his own mine or not, the dynasty will definitely focus on the mining politics for one or two years. No emperor will watch the silver that originally belonged to the treasury flow into his personal money bag."

"That uncle's matter..." Yan Xuehuai only said half a word, waiting for the boss Zhou to answer her.

Zhou Dadada said, "Good boy, you are right. No matter what you do, you must prepare for the future. Whether it is the court or the world, you cannot relax. This time I will also go to Pingcheng, and your uncle has many secrets."

Yan Xuehuai didn't expect that Zhou Dada would go back to Pingcheng with them. She asked, "Does my uncle and my mother know that you are going to Pingcheng too?"

Zhou Dadajia smiled and said, "They don't know yet. I only tell you one person in this family."

This means that the Zhou Dada family will not leave with them.

Yan Xuehuai nodded: "Don't worry, aunt, unless my mother asks, I won't tell her."

In other words, she would not hide it from Li Qiniang.

Zhou Dadang laughed and reached out to touch Yan Xuehuai's head: "It's okay to tell your mother whether you sue her or not, as long as you don't let your mother worry."

OK, if you don't want your mother to be suspicious, just tell her.

OK, Yan Xuehuai thought, the old world is the old world.

Yan Xue felt at ease when she knew that Zhou Datong would go to Pingcheng too.

She touched her smooth face, and she couldn't finish her heart every day.

At this time, Tang Long trotted in, holding a worship box in his hand. Since Qi Wei went to Li Shiji every day, Qingping Lane has not received a prayer for some days.

Yan Xuehuai was curious and took out the visiting letter and saw that Ding Yang, the wife of Tongzheng Experience Department.

Who is this person?

It happened that Dazhuang brought Xiaoman and Zhou Xiaobai back. Xiaoman saw the letter of worship and said, "I have seen her."

Xiaoman told me about the night of the Lantern Festival that he and Zhou Xiaobai met Mrs. Ding together.

"Mrs. Ding is my mother's old acquaintance, she should know Mr. Yan Er."

Xiaoman heard Mrs. Ding say "Yan Juren" with her own ears. Of course, Xiaoman didn't tell Yan Xuehuai that he called Qi Wei Dad.

Elementary school students also need face.

Yan Xuehuai asked Tang Long: "Where are the people who come to send a message to you?"

Tang Long said: "It's a nanny who is here, and she's still waiting in the concierge."

Didn't leave? I'm waiting for an answer.

"Just say that Mrs. Ding is grateful for her. She has a lot of work at home recently and my mother is very busy. I won't invite Mrs. Ding to the mansion."

As he said that, Yan Xuehuai took out a tael of silver and asked Tang Long to reward the person who sent the greetings.

A moment later, Tang Long came back and said to Yan Xuehuai: "When the nanny left, I asked me to hand the letter to the boss's wife."

Yan Xuehuai took the letter and saw that there was a fire lacquer on the envelope. It was obvious that he had prepared for it. Before sending the letter, he guessed that Li Qiniang would not see her. It was just an excuse to visit her, and sending the letter was real.

Yan Xuehuai admired the twists and turns of these wives in the back home. They would send letters as soon as they delivered, and they would have to go around a big turn, whether they were tired or not.

After Li Qiniang came back, Yan Xuehuai handed the letter to her. When Li Qiniang heard that it was Mrs. Ding, she frowned slightly and told her the identity of Lord Ding. Yan Xuehuai said, "Mom, look at what is written in the letter."

Li Qiniang also found it strange why Mrs. Ding wrote to her.

She opened the envelope, and there were only a few words on the letter. After reading it, Li Qiniang handed the letter to Yan Xuehuai.

Yan Xuehuai looked at it and said, "Mr. Yan Er actually went to Qinghe County."

Is this a coincidence, or is it done on purpose?

The Qinghe Banquet comes from Qinghe Town, which is the largest town in Qinghe County and is only more than ten miles away from the county town.

Yan Xuehuai wanted to ask Li Baohuai to help check whether there was Yan Zhaoshi in Qinghe County, but then she thought that she was about to leave Beijing, so she could only write a letter to Li Baohuai. If Li Baohuai replied, she would not receive it on the way.

Send someone to check?

Yan Xuehuai only had the only one who could investigate this matter, but she wanted to take Pearl back to Pingcheng with her.

Yan Xuehuai didn't want Chai Yan to help, Chai Yan has been too busy recently.

For Yan Xuehuai, Yan Zhaoshi was her original father after all, and she had never thought of letting Yan Zhaoshi die, but if Yan Zhaoshi committed suicide, it had nothing to do with her. If she wanted to die, she would die.

But Yan Xuehuai needs to know Yan Zhaoshi's whereabouts. Now that Li Qiniang is going to marry Qi Wei, he will be a super first-class imperial edict in the future. If someone uses Yan Zhaoshi to ruin Li Qiniang's reputation, Yan Xuehuai doesn't mind killing people to silence him.

Li Qiniang treats her very well. Even if Qi Fu protects Li Qiniang in the future, Yan Xuehuai will not let go.

Thinking of this, Yan Xuehuai decided to write a letter to Li Baohuai.

It takes a month to travel from Beijing to Pingcheng. Li Baohuai has no official position. It takes almost a month to send her letter to Pingcheng, so Yan Xuehuai left the address of the Shizi Hutong.

If Li Baohuai's letter arrives first, Aunt Mo Yu will help her collect the letter.

Yan Xuehuai wrote a letter and asked Tang Long to send it to the official post, and Chai Yan came.
