Qingxi Temple is located on Yaohua Mountain in the northwest of Zhijiang. Looking around, the stones in Panshan are step by step and finally disappear into the green mountains. Pines and cypresses are planted around the stones, making them look deep and quiet. It is indeed a good place to devote yourself to the practice of Buddhism.

On the stone level, a man walked slowly. Although "cicadas are quieter in the forest, and birds are singing in the mountains", the man's heart is surging and reveals a faint uneasiness. This man is Yu Yan, the governor of Yiling. Guan Renmei raises fire. The news that the Nanjing Ministry of Justice is rushing to Yiling makes Yu Yan completely desperate. He takes advantage of the action and is still luring him to come to visit Cui Yu'er.

Since Cui Yuer was rescued by Lin Chunhong, her heart has been tied to Lin Chunhong. But on the one hand, she was her best friend who was honest and fell in love, which tortured her so much that she became thinner and thinner. In the end, she could not bear this torture and became a monk. Zhou Feng's persuasion was ineffective, so she had to let Cui Yuer become a nun in Qingxi Temple.

The Cao family's loss of power finally made the Hedong lion at home finally calm down, no longer as arrogant and arrogant as that day. This made Yu Yan secretly happy, and even thought that if he could survive the tribulation safely, return to the beautiful Jiangnan, and be a leisurely squire, it would be a good ending. However, Cui Yu'er entered Buddhism, which made him feel a little painful. The day to visit Cui Yu'er was stronger than day. Yu Yan understood that it was basically impossible to take Cui Yu'er as a concubine again, but before leaving Yiling, he could finally see Cui Yu'er and make a conclusion.

An old nun stood at the door of Qingxi Temple. After hearing Yu Yan's purpose, he put his hands together and said, "There is no Cui Yu'er in the temple, only Huijing."

"Master Xie reminded me that I am here to find Huijing, and I also asked Master Xie to help me convey it! I said that Yu Yan is visiting."

"Please wait for the donor." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Soon after, the old nun returned and said, "Please forgive me, Huijing devoted herself to practicing Buddhism and did not want to see foreign guests. Please go back."

Yu Yan was very anxious and asked quickly: "Master said that Yu Yan was visiting? Why didn't she see me? Why?"

"Old Ni doesn't know, please come back by the donor!" After saying that, he slowly closed the door of the temple and locked Yu Yan outside the door.

Yu Yan felt as if he was hit hard when he heard the clang, and he almost couldn't stand steadily. He stood with the door staff for a long time before leaving reluctantly...

When Lao Ni asked Cui Yu'er just now, Cui Yu'er thought it was Lin Chunhong's visit, and her face appeared red, and the careful old Ni saw it. After hearing that it was Yu Yan who was visiting, she was silent for a while before she squeezed out a sentence: "No." After Lao Ni went out, her eyes were blinking and she was dazed there.

Old Ni looked behind for a long time before saying, "The worldly relationship has not yet ended, so it is impossible to avoid it. It just happened to be a worldly relationship when you see it."

Lao Ni's words shocked Cui Yu'er. Lao Ni looked at it and couldn't help but shake her head.

Cui Yuer stumbled and said, "This lotus is not that lotus."

Old Ni nodded, quietly left, and brought the door.

Seeing that Cui Yu'er's face was already covered with tears, she felt ashamed and couldn't help herself: "A cruel enemy, it's been so long, even meeting her is so luxurious..."

Lin Chunhong often thinks of Cui Yuer, but he has a beautiful wife, so he cruelly puts Qi Si and distracts aside, let alone traveling to Yaohua Mountain to visit Cui Yuer. Now Lin Chunhong has a lot of things, and he doesn't even have time to think of Cui Yuer. Since Yu Yan was executed, the prefect of Yiling was vacant, and the new official has not yet taken office, and the affairs are represented by the judge. Lin Chunhong is worried that the new state officials will interfere, so he strengthens his enlistment of the judge. Under the temptation of half-finished stakes, the judge readily switched the Huoshaoping mining from official mining to civil mining, and granted the mining rights to Lin Chunhong.

By the way, the judge saw that there was only one empty shell left in the Malian Iron Mine obtained from the house search, so he sold it to Lin Chunhong. In a moment, Lin Chunhong got the mine.

"What? You said it takes 370,000 taels of silver to dig a cableway?" Wang Liangquan's words almost made Lin Chunhong jump up. Wang Liangquan presided over digging the fiberway, so he was responsible for the transportation project from Huoshaoping to Qingjiang.

"Sir, this is still a conservative estimate! It is about 30 miles from Huoshaoping to Qingjiang. You have to cross more than ten mountains by the way. It is still a matter of whether 370,000 taels of silver is enough! Besides, building a cable road requires a lot of steel. Where can we get the steel?" Wang Liangquan's affirmative answer made Lin Chunhong feel disheartened and sat on the Taishi chair and silent.

The 240,000 taels of silver shipped by Guan Renmei cost 70,000 taels of silver, mainly used to transform the sand and water conservancy of Bailizhou, which was busy with Xiao Daizi. In addition, a giant water truck was being built on the Yangtze River, and tens of thousands of taels of silver were invested.

"Or we should use people first? Didn't the official procurement method be used in the past? We can still use a lot of more labor. Now the wages are so cheap." Wang Liangquan couldn't help but suggest. Seeing Lin Chunhong frowning, he couldn't help but suggest.

Lin Chunhong shook his head and said, "How much can you carry with someone? Why don't you make a budget and see how much money it costs to build a mountain road from Huoshaoping to Qingjiang? This mountain road can at least be pulled by a beast."

Wang Liangquan took out a stack of paper from his sleeve and smiled and said, "The budget has been made, so please take a look first."

Lin Chunhong was overjoyed, took the paper, and scolded, "Didn't you say it earlier? You are still scheming with me? Have you long thought that it is not feasible to repair cables before you made a second-hand preparation?"

Wang Liangquan yelled twice, picked up the teacup and poured it into his mouth.

Lin Chunhong looked at it for a while and said, "Thirty-five thousand taels of silver, not much, this is acceptable."

Wang Liangquan said with a bitter face: "The subordinates suggested that they simply give up the cable channel. The craftsmen below said that they had never seen such a cable channel and dared not try it. Uncle Li also said that it was difficult to find such a rope. Even if they could find it, it would not take long. Some craftsmen suggested that they put the smelting furnace on the burning floor, and charcoal could be burned locally, anyway, there are many trees there. It is always much easier to transport pig iron than ore."

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "Don't mention the point of building a smelting furnace in Huoshaoping. How many trees can be cut down in a small place in Huoshaoping? Charcoal is far from enough in the future. What about you is very good. You can listen to the suggestions of craftsmen, and you should listen more in the future. We are laymen, so of course we have to listen to them. As for the cables, let's discuss them later, and let them go first."

After saying that, he handed over the budget to Wang Liangquan and said, "Leave it to Zheng Tiancheng for review, I'll stamp it again."

Wang Liangquan nodded and left Lin Chunhong alone in the study. Lin Chunhong picked up a book called "The Complete Book of Mine Control" and read the technology of iron smelting and desulfurization. After reading it for a long time, he couldn't find a way. Lin Chunhong was still thinking about how to refine Malian's pyrodite into refined iron. After all, Malian's transportation is much more convenient.

Just when Lin Chunhong was about to give up, Peng Xin came to see him with a vulgar guy and said that there was something that needed to cooperate with Lin Chunhong. This guy had a sharp-mouthed cheek, a piece of beard on his chin, his eyes narrowed into a line, and his back was hunched. Lin Chunhong was very interested and didn't know what this guy needed to cooperate with.

"I want to help the adults solve the problem of Ma Lian's crisp iron!" This guy startled Lin Chunhong, not because Lin Chunhong was worried about this matter, but because of his voice. This guy's voice was like a big bell, full of energy and masculine taste, which was completely inconsistent with his appearance.

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "What are you going to do?"

"There is no solution for the time being, but if the adults give me three thousand taels of silver, I can think about it." The guy said confidently.

Lin Chunhong was shocked and couldn't help but look at Peng Xin, with a look of confusion. Isn't Peng Xin bringing back a liar, right?

Of course, Peng Xin would not bring a liar. He had already heard the guy's bottom line clearly: this guy's name is Kang Libo, and he has been working as a craftsman in Daye. A few years ago, he could not bear the inhuman treatment of craftsmen. He absconded alone and had no place for many years. Peng Xin sold iron pots made of crisp iron in Yiling, but was criticized by him as an expert. Peng Xin knew that he met a genius and recommended it to Lin Chunhong.

Unexpectedly, Kang Libo was so arrogant. Peng Xin scolded: "Speak well, you have helped the adults solve this problem, and you will have the money you can't spend."

Kang Libo did not take Peng Xin's scolding at all and continued: "In order to avoid the appearance of crisp iron, quicklime can be added during refining, but I don't know how much ore to add Malian's iron ore and what heat to add. I need to try it with the ore there!"

When Lin Chunhong heard this, he knew that he had met an expert. He couldn't help but stand up, and didn't even notice that the "Complete Book of Mining" on his knee fell to the ground. He said, "Is three thousand taels enough?"

Kang Libo looked at the complete book of mining control, and could put the eggs in it with his mouth open, and did not answer Lin Chunhong's question, and said in surprise: "Sir, do you read this book too?"

Lin Chunhong bent down to pick up the book, laughed and said, "I have nothing to do, just flip through it. So, have you read it too?"

Kang Libo sighed and said, "I have seen it before, I can't afford it, so I just made some reviews."

"You can read?"

"How can a good craftsman be illiterate?" This made Lin Chunhong amused and praised repeatedly: "Well, well, how can a craftsman be illiterate! I will give you this book. I only have one here. I have worked hard to get it. If you want to save it well, it is best to find someone to copy more."

Kang Libo took the book, and hid it in his arms as if he was a baby, and his face returned to his arrogant look, saying, "Since the adults read this book, it is considered to have some understanding of iron smelting. I won't say much about anything else. As long as the adults take out three thousand taels of silver, I will naturally turn the crisp iron into fine iron!"

Lin Chunhong was overjoyed. It was not because he found Kang Libo, an iron smelting talent, but was surprised by the reward proposed by Kang Libo. He pulled Kang Libo over and said repeatedly: "Come on, come on, sit down, don't worry, three thousand taels of silver will naturally be given to you. Let's discuss your remuneration after the matter is completed."

These words made Peng Xin and Kang Libo confused. He thought that these three thousand taels included rewards? He turned his doubtful eyes to Lin Chunhong.

Lin Chunhong's words made Kang Libo and Peng Xin excited as if they had found a gold mine. What were they saying?
