Rong Xuan thought about how the application for military supplies was being delayed. He pondered for a moment and said, “Chengde, Zijin and Haoran are right. Let’s put this matter aside for now. There’s no hurry to report it. The fields of the 5th Division are all over there, and we planned to use them to plant corn next year. It’s not certain if the land will still be ours after we report it.”
Qi Xiuyuan knew what Rong Xuan and the rest were thinking. He looked at his brother and Zijin and waved his hand. “Alright, we’ll take care of things from here. Go and rest.”
“Big Brother.” Qi Haoran was about to say something when Fan Zijin stopped him. He could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue and leave with Fan Zijin.
After they left, Qi Xiuyuan sat on the chair and said with a headache, “I know what you mean. If this wasn’t an iron mine, I might have swallowed it myself. However, we can’t touch gold, silver, iron, and copper. Jinyu, don’t forget that I’m a general leading the troops. As long as I get involved with this, if the Imperial Court so much as catches a whiff of this, I won’t be able to escape the charge of rebellion.”
The Emperor was most wary of generals nowadays, and things like gold, silver, copper, and iron were sensitive to begin with. If sensitive people touched sensitive things, even if they did not have such thoughts, the Emperor would definitely kill them.
Qi Xiuyuan only wanted to have a smooth official career and reclaim his homeland. He did not want to rebel.
Rong Xuan was silent for a moment before he smiled and said, “I understand. It’s not that we’re not reporting it now, but we haven’t confirmed the news yet, so we’re not reporting it yet. Chengde, Haoran’s 5th Division isn’t dispensable now. Even if it’s to protect the fields under the 5th Division, we can just don’t touch these ores.”
“Let me think about it,” Qi Xiuyuan said tiredly.
Rong Xuan stood up. “You’ve been up all day and night. Rest first. I’ll go back and sleep too.”
Qi Xiuyuan nodded. Rong Xuan came out and turned to go to Qi Haoran. Fan Zijin was also in his room. The two of them looked at him eagerly. Smiling, Rong Xuan said, “Your big brother agreed to consider it. Haoran, although I’ve carefully investigated Luocong Mountain, from the situation you mentioned and the looks of it, there should be a lot of mineral resources. Although we won’t report it, we won’t mine it either. So you have to watch carefully. Don’t let anyone take away the rocks on the mountain under your nose.”
“Don’t worry, Brother Rong. I’ll get someone to keep an eye on the mountain.”
“Alright, I’ll go back and rest first. I’ll bring people to the mountain to take a look in two days. It’s best if I find a good excuse.”
