    The sky is blue and white clouds are blooming in the sky. Below, there is a wide grassland, which is pleasing to the eye and makes people feel comfortable.  "Dad, ahead is the area where there may be coal mines that the sixth brother pointed out to us." Outside the carriage, a young man on horseback said, it was Luo Jin's sixth son Luo Yunzhong.  "Okay, let's settle down today, and start work tomorrow!" Luo Jin said.  Hearing Luo Jin¡¯s words, the craftsmen behind him immediately started to get busy.  Although they all came from Shanxi and were accustomed to living in houses, in a place like this, they followed the local customs. They hurriedly started to set up the tents they carried, and soon a camp was set up.  Then, they found a water source, made a fire, cooked, and ate dry food as they walked. They were very satisfied to have a hot meal.  If this group of people just passed through the grassland, it would be fine, but now, it looks like they are going to live on the grassland. Suddenly, several herdsmen from the Kiliyan tribe who were grazing nearby here quietly moved the people here.  News, report to the tribe leader.  The work started on the second day.  Now, it is still unknown whether the coal mine is buried here. More than two laborers brought by Luo Jin began to dig up the soil layer several miles apart to determine whether there was coal underneath.  Several people worked in groups, using shovels and pickaxes, and they worked very hard.  "They are destroying our grassland!" When they saw these people starting to dig the ground, the herdsmen became angry. A dozen of them came closer with their own bows and arrows.  At this time, Luo Jin was sitting on the teacher's chair, looking at the people working around him, feeling very comfortable.  Luo Jin didn¡¯t take it to heart at all when the dozen herdsmen came over, but Yan Liu on the side was aware of the danger.  "Hey, you are destroying our grassland!" A herdsman approached with a very unfriendly tone.  Destroy your grassland?  Hearing the herdsmen's words, Yan Liu responded coldly: "This is the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It is completely legal for us and the Ming Dynasty's princes to come here." Their princes were actually driven by Dadu.  male.  "Then what are you doing here?" Seeing the performance of these farmers, the herdsmen were wondering whether they wanted to open up the fields and then cultivate them?  If everything here is cultivated, where will there be grassland for grazing?  "We are here, it's a secret. Don't hinder us." Yan Liu pushed back firmly.  "No, you have to leave here!" the herdsman said.  "Bang!" Yan Liu was not in such a good mood, so he pulled out his blunderbuss and fired a shot into the sky.  This deafening sound immediately startled the herdsmen.  "If you don't leave again, you will be punished for obstructing official duties!" Yan Liu said.  Who knows, these herdsmen were not afraid, but pulled out their hunting bows from behind.  They had always had the advantage, but now, seeing the herdsmen pulling out their hunting bows and setting up arrows, all the people working suddenly stopped. This time they came out, the Luo family boasted about Haikou.  , saying that the Tatar issue had been settled long ago, and there was a large sum of money for settling in, so these people came out.  Who would have known that something like this would happen before I even started working.  Seeing that these herdsmen wanted to act recklessly, all the people brought by Yan Liu took out their firearms and could kill these people at any time.  The situation seemed to be on the verge of breaking out.  "Don't do anything!" At this moment, a shout came from the distance.  A group of people on horseback were coming quickly.  After getting the news that people from the Central Plains were coming, Zhelixi realized that there would be some problems. After all, recently, people from the Central Plains came directly to Dongsheng. This was the first time that they came directly to the grassland. Moreover, it was the first time that people from the Central Plains came directly to the grassland.  Many people have to live here.  What are they here for?  Zhelixi was also puzzled, but if there was a conflict between the two parties, there would be big trouble.  Therefore, Zhelixi ran here as soon as possible, and then saw that the two sides were arguing. Now, they have not started fighting.  Seeing Zheli coming to the west, the herdsmen shouted: "Chief, these Central Plains people are destroying our grassland." Looking at the tense situation between the two sides, and then looking at this group of Central Plains people, they were holding firearms, Zheli  Xi knew that these people could never be offended.  After learning that the person in front of him was the clan leader of this tribe, Yan Liu immediately changed his tone: "It turns out it's the clan leader who is here. I'm not welcoming you from afar. Please come in, please come in." Seeing the other party being so polite, Philosophy  A smile also appeared on Xi¡¯s face: ¡°We are all from the same family.?, you're welcome.  Luo Jin followed up: "Clan leader, let's go, please come inside and try the tea we brought from Jiangnan."  " Seeing the confusion on Zhelixi's face, Yan Liu said: "This is Boss Luo, our boss this time.  " When Yan Liu said this, Zhelixi immediately put on a smile: "Boss Luo, I wonder if you come to our place in exchange for horses or cattle and sheep?  " As he said that, he walked into the tent. "Although they are both tents, these military tents brought from the Central Plains are still very different from yurts. Mongolian yurts can accommodate a whole family of Mongolians.  Therefore, it is relatively spacious, while the military tent can only accommodate a few people and is relatively narrow. Although the accommodation is different, the hospitality of the Central Plains people is still the same as before. Zhelixi felt that the Han people in front of him were more friendly and trusting.  , This time it was a complete misunderstanding. ¡°To be honest with the clan leader, so many of us came here to dig for treasures on the grassland.  "Luo Jin said. "Digging for treasure? No one is more interested than hearing about digging out treasure. When Luo Jin said digging for treasure, Zhelixi's eyes widened. "What treasure?"  " "Jin, I heard that there is gold buried under the grassland. The old man got the guidance from an expert, so he came here in person.  "Luo Jin said. "Is there gold under the grassland? Philosophy Xi was immediately deceived: "Where is it?"  " "I don't know, that's why we dug. However, although the Kiliyan tribe has surrendered to the court, when the gold is dug, part of it can be given to the Kiliyan tribe.  "Luo Jin said. "If the gold is really mined, even if it is given to a small part of the Kiliyan tribe, the Kiliyan tribe will become the richest nation on the grassland! Therefore, Zhelixi was immediately tempted. Luo  Jin knew that he had to get the entire Kiliyan tribe to agree. These people were very stubborn. Otherwise, if they started to argue, they would say that they had destroyed the Feng Shui of the grassland. Then, they would come to cause trouble for themselves all day long.  This method was also taught to him by Luo Guanzhong. "Then I will send my tribe to dig gold with you?  Zhelixi said: "There is strength in numbers."  " Luo Jin shook his head: "Patriarch, to tell you the truth, there is gold here, even my workers, they don't know it. Once this news spreads, then we will never have peace here. I don't know what will happen.  How many people come here to dig for gold.  " Hearing what Luo Jin said, it was completely reasonable. Zhelixi nodded. "So, there is news about Jin here and it must be kept secret. Now, only we know it personally.  Luo Jin said: "If your tribesmen knew about it, they would not take the initiative to tell it, but sometimes the speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional!"  " "Yes, keep it secret, keep it secret!  "Zhelixi agreed. "When I dig out the gold, I will keep your share for you. However, you have to restrain the clansmen and don't let them interfere with my affairs here. I will dig everywhere.  , where the soil cannot be dug, the soil is filled back, and the grassland remains the same.  I heard that the gold is buried under black stones. All the black stones must be removed before the gold will be exposed. So, I will notify the clan leader after I find the black stones.  "Luo Jin said. "Actually, where is the gold! Those black stones, that is, coal mines, are the real gold! "Okay, no problem."  "Poor Zhelixi has been on the grassland all his life. He has never been as cunning as the Central Plains people. For them, a disagreement can mean life and death, but they never tell lies. From this day on, a few years later  , black stones were constantly being transported away, but the gold under the black stones was never discovered. It was not until a few years later, when Zhelixi's son came back from the Central Plains, that he discovered that this kind of black stone is actually the most precious stone in the Central Plains.  Lack of coal! After sending Zhelixi away, the onlookers of Kiliyan herdsmen finally retreated. Luo Jin urged his craftsmen to continue working. Nothing was discovered that day, and nothing was discovered the next day.  The first day, the fourth day Luo Jin led the craftsmen to one place after another, almost searching the entire Dongsheng Prefecture, but he still couldn't find the legendary coal mine. Luo Jin's eyes began to show disappointment.  Is it going to be the same this time as last time? ¡°I found it, I found it!  "Until half a month later, when Luo Jin was about to leave in disappointment, a laborer shouted loudly. After he dug a few feet underground, he could find that the soil below was gone and turned into black.  Luo Jin ran over excitedly. It was hard to imagine that at this time??He has steady steps, just like a young man.  I ran to the entrance of the cave. Below, pieces of black coal were being dug out.  ¡°Dig up all this grassland!¡± Luo Jin said happily.  The grassland was dug up, and underneath was a long and narrow coal storage belt. Sure enough, there were coal mines scattered here!  And, just dig up the surface soil!  From then on, the Luo family became prosperous!  Yan Liu looked at Luo Jin's expression and shook his head. He really had never seen the world!  Yan Liu slowly retreated and reached his tent.  Soon, a homing pigeon flew into the sky.  Hey, want to read this book for free?  Follow us on WeChat: and read] (.)
