The autumn wind is blowing, and it is a good time for harvest.

There are three villages near Lingshan. The population is not large, only about a hundred households, but every household basically depends on the mountains. Basically every day, people go to the mountains to pick mountain products and bring them to the towns to sell.

Qingyun and Gao Lan first found the village chief and told him their intention. When the three village chiefs heard that the wages were high and the price of collecting mountain goods was also high, they immediately agreed and took the two of them to notify him in the village.

Many young people in the village have gone to nearby towns or Kyoto to look for jobs. There are not many young adults left, mainly women and children.

Therefore, they found more than 40 people in one afternoon, 20 of whom were teenagers, and the other 20 or so were women.

After Su Xiang heard this, he felt that the number of people was about the same, so he immediately started making arrangements.

From the next day, Lin Xueman began to take the twenty people to Lingshan to search for mines every day. During the period, he would hunt and bring back animals he encountered.

Lin Xueyuan was very skilled, and he could hit hundreds of shots with a bow and arrow within a hundred steps. He quickly won the admiration of the group of teenagers. They admired Lin Xueman very much. Almost as soon as he opened his mouth, the group of teenagers rushed to do it.

A few days later, the group of teenagers brought mountain products or dried meat from their homes and ran to Lin Xueman. They all knelt down and wanted to become their teacher.

Lin Xue was furious and at a loss for a few seconds. After regaining consciousness, she immediately rejected these innocent and fearless faces.

"This is inappropriate. I'm just a sin slave and I'm really not qualified to teach you. Get up."

He also wants revenge and will lead troops to rebel in the later stage. He cannot drag these ignorant teenagers into the water.

Unexpectedly, those young men were very stubborn. They begged for several days and wanted to become their disciples.

This was the first time that Su Xiang saw Lin Xueman looking so confused and at a loss. At this moment, he was no longer the villain with a blood feud, but just an ordinary young man who was a little troubled.

Finally, Su Xiang thought about it and persuaded Lin Xue to accept the group of teenagers.

"Just accept it. We need someone to help keep the secret of finding the mine. If they worship you as their teacher, they will definitely keep it a secret. This will make it much easier for us to do things."

Originally, Su Xiang wanted to use money to buy these people to shut up. After all, after the saltpeter mine is found, there is no guarantee that no one will be greedy, but if these people take Lin Xueyin as their teacher, they don't have to worry about leaking the secret.

In addition, Su Xiang felt that being with these innocent teenagers for a long time might make Lin Xue's dark heart warmer.

After listening to Su Xiang's persuasion, Lin Xue weighed it in secret and thought Su Xiang's decision was reasonable, and finally accepted these disciples.

On the other side, Qinglai began to lead the women to stay in the yard every day to receive mountain goods from three villages, then package them and store them in the warehouse to the west.

Most of the people who come to deliver mountain goods are elderly people and women with children in tow. They have almost no labor force. They only go to the mountains to cut firewood and pick up some mountain goods, and their lives are very poor.

They were very nervous at first, fearing that Su Xiang would look down on those bastards, but after Su Xiang accepted them all, they felt more at ease.

When they got more money than they had to work hard to sell, these poor people couldn't help but wipe the tears from their eyes with the corners of their clothes.

"That's great, that's great. What a kind person! Finally I don't have to walk around with my old legs to sell goods all day long!"

"Haha... I can send my baby to school with this much."

"Yes, thank you so much, young lady."

Su Xiang looked at their hopeful faces at the moment and thought of the disaster next year, feeling complicated for a moment.

The collected mountain products are mainly fungi, including many velvet antler fungi, matsutake mushrooms, morels, hericium, etc.

In addition, there are wild medicinal materials, dried bamboo shoots, chestnuts, tea leaves, preserved fruits, etc., which are simply dazzling.

These villagers are very simple. In order to thank Su Xiang for the high price, they often send her some wild products, such as wild fruits and wild vegetables for her to try.

The workers even tried their best to bring some things that they could not bear to eat to give to Su Xiang to express their gratitude.

Su wanted to reciprocate the favor and asked Qingyun to take a few women to make some fruit tea and rice balls with rich ingredients every day and give them to them.

These common people were grateful to Su Xiang. Every time they saw her, they would greet her with a smile and keep saying that she was a good person.

Su Xiang felt a little uncomfortable.

She considers herself a selfish person and has never had any noble moral character in saving people and saving the world. The reason why she wants to help the villain is because of her own future. The reason why she found so many people was because she needed people to implement her plan.

But these people don't know that they are just thanking themselves for bringing them money and a better life, and for being their nobles, that's all.

A few days later, Gao Lan also set off. She took ten teenagers to Qianzhou, near Kyoto, to buy weapons.

Although there is no restriction on the purchase of weapons in Cang Country, buying weapons in large quantities can easily attract the attention of the government and arouse suspicion. Therefore, the most suitable thing for Gao Lan is to buy them secretly in private and then secretly transport them back.

Half a month later, when the dry goods in the warehouse were almost full, Lin Xueman finally found the saltpeter mine.

After getting the news, Su Xiang immediately got up from his chair and rushed there with Lin Qi and the person who came to notify.

The mountains are tall and steep, and the mountains are intricate and continuous, leading to the Ganjiang River hundreds of miles away, so they are rich in products.

When Su Xiang came here, Lin Xue'an was arranging for people to pick out baskets of stones. The stones were all bright white.

Su Xiang stepped forward and picked up one to examine carefully to make sure it was the saltpeter she had longed for.

Lin Xue turned her head and noticed that Su Xiang was coming. She strode over and stared at her for a moment.

"Miss, you are right, there is indeed a saltpeter mine here."

In fact, he didn't believe it at first, but Su Xiang was so sure that he had to be dubious.

Unexpectedly, a large amount of saltpeter mine was finally found. God knows that these saltpeters can not only make ice, but also gunpowder, which is an extremely important resource!

In addition, he also saw a piece of halite near the saltpeter mine, and halite can be made into salt!

This mine represents countless wealth, and it can also bring about the covetousness of countless people. How did Su Xiang know? Isn't she afraid of those greedy people coming to find her?

Su Xiang vaguely guessed what he was worried about, put down the saltpeter and smiled lightly.

"Don't worry, I won't fight an unprepared battle. I will have people block the news. In addition, it doesn't matter if someone finds out later. Cang people can mine on their own, but they have to hand over part of the minerals to It’s just official.”

Lin Xue secretly looked at her strategizing smile for a moment, and almost didn't even hear what Su Xiang was saying.

Lin Qi on the side turned around silently and helped his young master to supervise the work.

"Besides, Ye Qi, I told you that if you finish this matter, I will give you a gift." Su Xiang said with a stern face, "So, in this mine, we will give you 80 points, and I will give you 2 points."

Before Lin Xue'an's expression condensed, Su Xiang continued, "Second is not given for free. I will need people to guard here and mine the ore later. You arrange people to do this, and only you can do it well."

Su Xiang remembered that in the novel, there was General Lin's base camp on the border of Cang Kingdom. General Lin and his Divine Wing Army once guarded here together, guarding the territory and the people.

Later, the Lin Mansion was destroyed, and the Emperor of the Cang Kingdom wanted to take back the Divine Wings Army, because although the Divine Wings Army only had less than 20,000 people, they were all elite soldiers, and they were a brave and skilled warrior division.

But the Divine Wing Army only obeyed orders from General Lin. After General Lin died in the battle, the Divine Wing Army, whose vitality was severely damaged, also disappeared directly. Even the emperor could not find them.

What the emperor didn't know was that they were actually secretly summoned by Lin Xue'an, who arrived first, and hid at the border of Cang Kingdom, obeying Lin Xu'an's orders, and only waited for Lin Xue'an's revenge and reappear later.

Therefore, Lin Xue An needed a lot of money to raise so many elite troops, and this mine could just help him meet his urgent need.
