This time the Guozijian interns came to exercise, but Li Yuanying came to play, so he was not in a hurry to leave after seeing the dinosaur fossils, but planned to stay overnight at Zhuangzi.

The city is bustling, but it's a bit stuffy at night. Li Yuanying is fine, but his son and the others don't sleep well, so Li Yuanying took them to catch fireflies on the Zhuangzi, and asked someone to see what delicious food there is in Shili Baxiang If you can buy it back, buy it, and if you can't buy it back, just invite people to come back and make it now, so that Sizi and the others will not suffer from running around in the hot weather.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanying fell asleep, but something big happened.

It turned out that there was a tenant in the village named Wang Tiesheng, who was a dutiful son. His mother was seriously ill two months ago.

The stewards were sent by the sunflower garden, they were the first group of orphans that Li Yuanying took in, and they were brainwashed by Dong Xiaoyi and others to think that Li Yuanying was the best kind person in the world.

These poor people who have no fields, no land, no roots, wandering around, no one cares about them when they die outside, who will give them the opportunity to read and write, who will let them have the great fortune they are now? Therefore, they are more lenient than ordinary hosts in dealing with tenants who are in difficulty, and they will help anyone who can.

Hearing Wang Tiesheng kowtow thankfully, the steward helped him up and said that there was no need to be like this, everything was for the good of the master's family, otherwise he would not have dared to be such a master.

After that, the steward brainwashed Wang Tiesheng in this way, and Wang Tiesheng was immediately full of gratitude and love for Li Yuanying, whom he had never met before.

Therefore, knowing that Li Yuanying sent the stewards here to find the huge keels behind Zhuangzi, and for this reason, he bought the barren hills. He felt that he could help the master find all the parts that might be left behind, and finish the work in the field every day. So I wandered around in the mountains, digging here and there, knocking there, to see if I could find the keel scattered elsewhere.

This day Wang Tiesheng didn't come back after entering the mountain, but Wang Tiesheng's old mother was very anxious, so she went to the supervisor and told the matter about it. Although Wang Tiesheng is a man, who knows what will happen when he enters the barren mountains? Maybe there are man-eating beasts in the mountains!

When the steward heard this, he felt that Wang Tiesheng was really doing bad things with good intentions, and the accident happened when their little prince came over!

Human life is at stake, and it is not good to delay the management, so I hurried to report to Li Yuanying.

Li Yuanying was leading his son and the others to play, when he heard that someone had entered the mountain and did not come back, he also borrowed the guards around him, and asked them to lead the tenants in the village to the mountain to search for rescue.

Li Zhi thought that with so many people entering the mountain, he should be able to find someone, so he didn't ask anyone to go back to bring rescuers to help, but only divided the people he brought out and let them follow into the mountain.

Wang Tiesheng's mother had never seen such a fight before, and she was stunned. She originally thought that she would only ask a few acquaintances to help her into the mountain to shout twice, but she never thought that these noble people would call so many people into the mountain to find her son!

Seeing that Wang Tiesheng's mother couldn't react, the steward asked his family members to help her go back and rest.

Most of the people around Li Yuanying had gone to Tubo for training, and had rich experience in wild survival, so they quickly organized the men into a large-scale search and rescue team.

Li Yuanying took Sizi and the others to look up the mountain not far away, and saw that the guards led the people into three teams and marched into the mountain in a mighty manner. The torches in their hands became long dragons, and they surrounded the entire barren mountain in three ways. , with these three fire dragons adorning it, the dark night is not so scary!

The soldiers searched and rescued in three ways, calling Wang Tiesheng's name all the way, and in less than half an hour, someone heard Wang Tiesheng's weak response from a narrow mountain crevice.

I was right when I said it was a crack in the mountain. The place is very strange and the entrance is very narrow. Generally speaking, people will get stuck when they get in. I don't know how Wang Tiesheng fell down! It is very deep there, the kind that echoes when spoken!

The team leader's guards were well-equipped and carried hemp ropes on their backs. It was easy to find someone, and they worked together to pull them up.

When Wang Tiesheng saw so many people at first glance, he was taken aback for a moment, and when he learned that the host family sent people around him to look for him, he was so moved that he roughly told the people who came to rescue him how he was chased by wild boars and fell into the mountain. said.

The wild boar was big, but Wang Tiesheng didn't eat well, and he was as thin as a bamboo pole, so he couldn't win, so he could only run. Fortunately, he was thin, and the wild boar couldn't get in when he fell into it, so he was not injured by the wild boar.

But Wang Tiesheng still had a little back, and no one passed by until nightfall, so he couldn't get out from the crevice in the mountain!

After Wang Tiesheng finished speaking, everyone felt that it was a thrill, and told him to stop wandering up the mountain.

But Wang Tiesheng didn’t want to talk about this. He excitedly told the head of the guards an important matter: “There are iron mines in this mountain! You can’t see it from the top, but you can see it when you go down. More!"

That's iron!

It is not easy for them to plow the land to buy a piece of iron!

He waited anxiously at the bottom, and unconsciously took the thing to knock on the mountain wall below, and finally, the iron came out! Such a shallow iron ore is very convenient to mine, and iron can be dug out by just opening a hole!

When most people discover iron ore, it’s normal for them to sneak some back home before others find out. After all, iron is so expensive, who wouldn’t want to make a few for themselves

But Wang Tiesheng felt that he should not do such a thing if he had any conscience, so he told the leading guard about this important matter as soon as he was rescued.

When the guard heard this, he was not in a hurry to go back, and after sending a message to the other two teams, he tied a hemp rope and nimbly jumped into the crevice of the mountain to find out the truth. Going down to look, the guards found that Wang Tiesheng was not lying. When the torch was lit, the wall was covered with mines!

There are many minerals in the Taiyuan area, but the mountain has been abandoned for many years. I heard that when the steward wanted to buy it, the other party asked for a very cheap price. I didn't expect that there was an iron mine that seemed to be quite large in size on this mountain that didn't look very long!

The guard asked someone to pull him up, and led the search and rescue team back in a mighty manner. As soon as the mother and son of the Wang family met, Wang Tiesheng's mother cried and beat him immediately, and then dragged him to find Li Yuanying to thank him.

Li Yuanying said: "It's just to let them go into the mountain for a few steps, it's nothing important, as long as people are fine."

The guard told Li Yuanying about Wang Tiesheng's discovery of the iron ore.

Li Yuanying knew Wang Tiesheng's name earlier, and said in amazement: "Your name is Tiesheng, right? I didn't expect that you and Tie are really destined!"

Wang Tiesheng smiled honestly, he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only kowtow to Li Yuanying a few times according to his mother's wishes before leaving.

Regarding this iron mine, Li Yuanying had no idea. Salt and iron are all controlled by the imperial court. It is impossible to dig iron ore by yourself, unless you want to rebel!

Li Yuanying dragged Li Zhi to jointly report and asked His Majesty Li Er to send someone over to study whether there is really a big mine here, and if so, how to mine it. It’s fine to hand over the barren mountain to the imperial court. There are still tenants in this village who have to rely on this piece of land to survive. If it is influential, will the imperial court pay some settlement money

Of course, such a big event was sent to Chang'an urgently, and the person who sent the letter broke down a few horses directly, and it could be regarded as the first time to send the news of the discovery of the iron mine to His Majesty Li Er!

The fact that Li Yuanying randomly encircled a barren mountain and actually encircled iron mines shocked many people. What kind of luck is this kid

Even if the size of the iron ore is not yet known, His Majesty Li Er sent experts to investigate on the spot as soon as possible. If there is a big mine, it must be controlled.

Li Yuanying didn't care about passing the news back, and took a group of friends to eat, drink and have fun in Taiyuan, and played around Taiyuan before embarking on the return journey. When he returned, he had two drinks with Li Zhi, and said a lot of educational words in the posture of an elder, making him a good prince and a good father!

Li Zhi went back to his room drunk, Wang Shi was waiting for him to come back, when he saw that he smelled of alcohol, he ordered someone to make tea to sober him up, and turned to ask him what he and Li Yuanying talked about.

Li Zhi didn't hide it, he told Wang all about it, and said that his Uncle Yao has always been like this, he is young, and the truth is the same.

Wang said with a smile, "Don't you just follow his set." After they became feudal, Li Zhi would mention "Uncle Yao" from time to time, and sometimes showed a bit of obvious loneliness, obviously missing Chang'an day.

The couple talked in a low voice, and they took a rest together after nightfall.

Li Yuanying saw that Li Zhi and his wife were quite harmonious, and that their nephews and grandchildren were fat and cute, so he took them back to Chang'an with confidence. But when he went back, he didn't go the same way, but took a detour to Xiangzhou, fulfilling his promise to find Li Xiaoyuan to play with.

Xiangzhou is not too far from Taiyuan, and Li Yuanying and his party will arrive there after walking south for a few days. He handed over a letter to Li Tai in advance saying that he was going to see his grandnephew, and Li Tai gritted his teeth and replied that he would come whenever he wanted.

Li Tai had never seen Li Yuanying so brazen.

His Majesty Li Er treated Li Tai very well, at least the Wei Palace was built magnificently, much more reliable than the Xiangcheng Palace he built to escape the summer heat. Li Yuanying went straight to the palace with a group of friends, and met Li Tai who had been away for a long time.

Li Tai was much more mature than when he left Beijing, and he had lost a lot of weight. He looked a little gloomy, obviously he didn't welcome Li Yuanying very much. But everyone came, and Li Tai couldn't drive them out, after all, his two younger sisters were also accompanying him.

Why did their father rest assured that Li Yuanying would take his son and the others to run around

Li Xiaoyuanqiu was the happiest, holding Li Yuanying all the way, and talking to Li Yuanying about the interesting things they met after Xiangzhou. Although he didn't go out often, he also learned a trick from Li Yuanying, asking the people around him to go out and find interesting stories to tell him, and he also developed a very good eloquence, speaking very cleverly.

Seeing that Li Xiaoyuanqiu was full of energy, Li Yuanying was relieved, and asked Li Xiaoyuanqiu to take him around Xiangzhou to find delicious and interesting things, and had a good time.

His Majesty Li Er didn't know where Li Yuanying was going until he arrived at Wei Wang's Mansion in Xiangzhou, and his brows twitched fiercely when he heard the news.

On the one hand is the son who has been spoiled for so many years, and on the other is the younger brother who has been raised for so many years. His palms and backs are full of flesh. His Majesty Li Er is naturally willing to see them get along well. Just that possible

The first two people have turned against each other like that, and Li Yuanying is still leaning in front of Li Tai. I really don't know what he thinks!

Li Tai didn't know what Li Yuanying was thinking, at first he thought that Li Yuanying was here to show off his might, and he was waiting for Li Yuanying to make a move. As a result, Li Yuanying only met him at the very beginning, but he didn't show his face after that, and took people out to eat, drink and have fun every day!

Li Tai couldn't wait any longer, and took the initiative to host a banquet for Li Yuanying and his party. Li Yuanying ate and drank, but still did nothing. It wasn't until the day he was about to leave that Li Tai was finally sure: This kid simply came to see his son!

That was his son, not Li Yuanying's son, what was Li Yuanying so focused on? !

Li Tai held his breath and sent Li Yuanying and his party away, feeling extremely depressed. But Quan Wanji wanted to pick on him, saying that Li Zhi played with him all the time, how united and friendly he was as a family, why didn't you even treat your uncle and sister well. Li Tai was about to explode!

He didn't argue with Li Chengqian now, Li Yuanying still haunted him! Who wants to be united and friendly with him as a family!

It's really maddening!

The author has something to say:

Even after leaving Chang'an, the fourth nephew was still turned into a puffer fish!
