Chapter 722: Chapter 722: Dog-Head Gold
With the announcement of this news, the teacher from the Liu Family finally breathed a sigh of relief and laughed contentedly!
Allowing the younger generation of the Liu family to study for free, and being taught by their own people, was equivalent to using the academy’s silver to cultivate the younger generation of the Liu family. What was there to be dissatisfied about?
So, the academy officially opened on the First Day of golden September of autumn.
For many days, Liu Sisi had been constantly running back and forth to the academy.
As they say, starting anything is difficult, and there were more things to do than one could imagine. Conflicts between several groups of people also broke out from time to time. In the end, to prevent the conflicts from escalating, Liu Sisi simply turned into a hands-off shopkeeper, leaving the matters to everyone else to resolve on their own, while she focused on the triplets’ Hundred-Day Feast.
As the triplets’ Hundred-Day Feast was getting closer and closer, Liu Sisi was incredibly busy.
Unfortunately, Di Yelei and Nan Tianzong went out together, and various people had to be invited to the banquet, and what needed to be purchased had to be purchased. Even with the help of Old Cheng and Granny Hu, Liu Sisi was still exhausted.
As the days approached, Di Yelei and Nan Tianzong still hadn’t shown up, which made Liu Sisi extremely anxious.
As a matter of fact, the two of them were at the Green Dragon Cave in the south of Macheng County.
At the moment, the two of them were staring intently at the entrance of the mine, waiting for good news from below to be heard.
“They are coming! They are coming, they are coming out!”
Someone shouted, and soon enough, a few people indeed emerged from the darkness of the cave, gradually approaching.
The faces of the people coming out were all in pitch black, but they were filled with joy: “Prince, after days of excavation and confirmation, your subordinates have not failed you! Please take a look!”
In the hands of the leader, there was an extremely irregular piece of dog-head gold, which was carefully presented to the two of them.
“Dog-head gold! It’s truly gold! There really is gold here!”
Nan Tianzong exclaimed with delight!
“Indeed, there is gold. It is a narrow and long area, extending along the mountain for several miles. We only need to order people to mine, and the amount of gold produced each year from such a large area will be an unimaginable figure! Congratulations, Prince!”
“Great! Hahaha …Excellent! The few of you have made great contributions, and you must be handsomely rewarded, well done!”
Nan Tianzong laughed heartily, and gave a glance to the people beside him, only to be directly blocked by Di Yelei.
“You all have worked hard. You go back and rest first, and regain your energy.”
When the grateful people had left, Nan Tianzong turned back: “Why should we spare their lives? What if they leak the news? What should we do?”
“Since we were worried about the leakage of news, we can’t kill these people. They know the direction of the mine best, and if we go down to the mine again later, they will have to take action.” Di Yelei had considered more.
“Hmm, you have thought it through. Killing them would result in losses, as we would have to arrange for more people to go in.”
As Nan Tianzong said those words, he was thinking of something else. It seemed that he would have to control those few people nicely.
However, the final result of the gold mine had excited the two men. They held the Asian ponysfoot and repeatedly examined it, becoming more and more attached to it.
“By the way, what date is it today?”
Di Yelei suddenly felt like he had forgotten something.
“Today seems to be…Lunar September 12th?”
The two looked at each other, their hearts suddenly filled with horror, and they hurriedly turned around and ran out.
