At this time, Ye Zheng came over and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the people I sent to investigate the nearby mine where Jie Shi was buried have also returned."
Zhu Feng said, "Oh? What did you find out?"
Ye Zheng walked beside him, and said softly: "They went to Xie's mine to check. There is no problem with the mine, but they found that the ore produced there has not been traded and circulated in the market."
"oh?"
"There is no large-scale iron-smelting furnace nearby. I also inquired about it. The ores produced by the surrounding mines are basically transported to other places for trading."
"Then, Xie's ore—"
"Their ore seems to have been shipped directly to Peiping, where it was forged."
Zhu Feng was silent for a while, and said, "That is to say, they produced their own products and made their own."
"Yes."
"Make what?"
Ye Zheng took a deep breath, put it close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "It seems that they are forging weapons in private."
"What!?"
Zhu Feng frowned all of a sudden.
Nan Yan stood beside him, and her eyes widened in shock when she heard the news.
Forging weapons
This is strictly forbidden by the Yan Kingdom and is absolutely not allowed to happen.
Because what the court is most afraid of is the gathering of rebellious forces among the people, and all the year round, it is impossible for every place to have smooth weather. Once a disaster occurs and refugees are born, these people will easily gather to rebel.
Therefore, the large-scale forging of weapons must be controlled, otherwise, with weapons in their hands, they can organize an army to fight against the court.
Throughout the dynasties, the control of weapons has been the top priority.
And the person who solved the stone, bought the mine, and at the same time transported the mined ore directly to forge weapons
What are they going to do
Zhu Feng pondered for a while, and then said: "I understand, let's start now."
"yes."
After a while, all the people had already got on the carriages, and those on the horses.
A group of people left the small town quickly under the cover of night.
At the same time, on another road in the town, another team galloped out from Xie's house, broke through the ice and snow at a fast speed, and left the town.

The horseshoes burst and the wheels rolled.
Their party walked all night on the ice field, and the carriage shook violently because the road was steep and icy.
In this case, there is no way to rest.
Nan Yan could only barely lean on the car floor, closed her eyes and dozed off in a daze. When she opened her eyes, she saw Zhu Feng sitting by the window, opening the curtain and looking out.
"The emperor..."
"Are you awake?" Zhu Feng didn't even look at her, but said, "However, we're almost there."
"Coming?"
Nan Yan hurriedly moved over and stretched her neck to look outside.
At this time, when it was just Mao, the sky was still dark, but under the dark sky, a huge black shadow could be faintly seen in the distance.
It is Beiping City.
Nan Yan murmured: "We are almost arriving in Beiping..."
Zhu Feng also looked outside and said, "Well, you can take a look, this is the place where I have been stationed for more than ten years."
Nan Yan turned to look at him.
Although the light was dim, she could still see that the clear outline of his handsome side face was extraordinarily resolute in the night.
"emperor."
At this time, Ye Zheng rode his horse and followed.
Zhu Feng looked at him: "What's the matter?"
"Next to our team, there seems to be a team of people."
