Li Jiancheng led a large group of refugees to the mine.
Fang Xuanling and the people from the Ministry of Revenue followed closely behind.
Fang Xuanling also wanted to see the difference between the Imperial Ironmaking Factory and the Glazed Tile Factory.
The two of them arrived at the mine.
The iron-smelting factory lay in front of him like a giant.
When had the Great Tang ever had such a building?
Fang Xuanling had already seen it once, so he was only shocked. However, this was Li Jiancheng's first time seeing it, and he wanted to go in almost immediately.
However, the black-armored guard stopped him and said,"Your Highness, His Majesty has instructed that the iron-smelting factory's environment is not to be announced to the public.”
"Even you are no exception."
Li Jiancheng was a little disappointed, but he did not dare to disobey Li Yuan's orders.
He turned around and said to the countless refugees,""Commoners, this will be the place where you will live in the future. The Imperial Court has already opened up a large piece of land for you.”
"After the house is built, it will belong to you.”
"Those who can build houses will help those who can't. The imperial court will pay you for these jobs, so you don't have to worry about working for nothing.”
"Do you understand?"
At this moment, Li Jiancheng was also rich and overbearing. He did not care about a little bit of money expenditure at all.
This was because he saw the huge iron ore on the blueprint. If it could really be completely mined and smelted into iron that could be used to refine weapons, it would be impossible for him to obtain it.
That was to take out a lot of silver from the mountains.
The wages given to these refugees were just a drop in the ocean, not worth mentioning.
When the refugees heard Li Jiancheng's words, they also celebrated. The land here was fertile, and the imperial court even gave them jobs.
He would build a house for himself, get paid, and eat.
If this wasn't the life of an immortal, then what was it?
There were still skilled craftsmen among the commoners. With sufficient labor force, everyone started to move. Wooden houses and stone houses were just simple floors.
It was easy to cover them up, and their current use was only to shelter them from the wind and rain.
There would be plenty of time to repair it slowly in the future.
Fang Xuanling ordered the Ministry of Revenue to distribute land to the refugees according to their villages. According to the structure on the map, they had left a path up the mountain and to transport iron ore.
Fang Xuanling couldn't help but sigh.
Just how much did Li Yuan know? If the Ministry of Revenue were to do it, they might not even be able to do it so cleanly in half a month.
Li Jiancheng watched as everything in front of him slowly got on the right track.
" Your Highness," Fang Xuanling said," I believe that before you leave Chang 'an, these villages will have taken shape. Some people should be able to move in."”
"It's also thanks to the heavens that it didn't rain.”
Li Jiancheng nodded slightly and said,""It's good that there's no rain for the commoners, but in Hebei Province.”
"It didn't rain. How many people died from drought?”
"The disaster relief cannot be delayed any longer. I will set off for the disaster area tomorrow morning. You must make arrangements in Chang 'an and ensure that there is an adequate supply of silver and grain.”
Fang Xuanling naturally did not refute Li Jiancheng's words.
" Your Highness, don't worry," he said solemnly." The national treasury is now abundant, and His Majesty has long ordered disaster relief. What you're worried about will definitely not happen."”
"Then I wish you a safe journey and success in advance.”
Li Jiancheng squeezed out a smile and said calmly,""I hope so."
"It's a pity that little sister won't be able to see me when she returns.”
Fang Xuanling listened to Li Jiancheng talk about his little sister.
He couldn't help but think of Princess Ping Yang, who was valiant and had outstanding military achievements.
His Majesty had already given the order for a few days.
He should be back in Chang 'an soon, and His Majesty would be very happy.
Li Jiancheng and Fang Xuanling stood at the top of the mine and looked at the people who were busy working. Their eyes were filled with gratification.
Eunuch Lin said," Prince Xi, Minister Fang, it's getting late. I have to go back and report to His Majesty."”
"I won't stay here for long."
Li Jiancheng immediately said," Eunuch Lin, you should go back. Please tell my father that I will leave Chang 'an tomorrow morning and will not be able to pay my respects to him."”
"However, when I return to Chang 'an, I will definitely give my father a big surprise.”
Eunuch Lin's expression did not change. He took out a brocade pouch from his sleeve and handed it to Li Jiancheng."Your Highness Xi King, His Majesty had long guessed that you would leave.”
"His Majesty also asked me to give this brocade bag to you. He said that if you can solve the disaster relief within a month, you have to open the brocade bag.”
"If it doesn't work, I'll return this brocade bag to Your Majesty when we return to Chang 'an.”
Li Jiancheng was puzzled, but he still took the brocade bag with both hands.
He carefully placed it on his chest.
Fang Xuanling stood at the side and said nothing.
Eunuch Lin left the mine on his horse and headed straight for Chang 'an.
He was also anxious and did not stop at all. If the Emperor was hurt when he was not around, then he would not be able to escape the blame even if he died ten thousand times.
Li Yuan was currently sitting in Qingfeng Restaurant.
After he returned to Chang 'an, he asked the Golden Guards to bring him here. Of course, there were not many places in Chang' an that he was familiar with.
Because of Chu Youwei's matter, Qingfeng Restaurant was one of them.
However, he did not encounter Chu Youwei this time. Instead, he encountered a few well-hidden Turks!
