Chapter 35 Copper Mine

After carefully checking the other caves, Masayora discovered hundreds of spears, dozens of swords and more than forty pairs of simple armor. Hundreds of kilograms of iron and copper also made Masayora happy. This just happened to solve the problem of insufficient agricultural tools in the territory. The dozens of pieces of cloth found in the end made Masayora almost burst into tears. His two clothes were damaged after several battles. They were all made by Matsumiko and Togo Kikumi to repair the land. Now that they don’t have to wear them like beggars with these cloths.

Carefully covering up the secret storage area, leaving two feet to guard the entrance of the woods, Masara and everyone hurried back to Oishi Noji's yard. At this time, Togo Heiji had already led the patrol team to wait there.

Seeing Masayora come back, everyone saluted. After the ceremony, Heiji Togo said excitedly, "Your Highness, on behalf of the people at the foot of the mountain, I thank you for avenging them. We have finally gotten rid of the threat of these damn bandits." Heiji Togo, who has been persecuted by bandits, shivered slightly on his shoulders and choked up for a moment.

"Okay, Heiji, everything is over, but there are still many things waiting for us to deal with." Masarara walked to Heiji Togo and gently patted his shoulder to show comfort. This "old man" in his 40s was being punished for exile and was forced to wander here, and led the town people to fight against the bandits. It has been difficult for him in recent years. Now the biggest threat in front of him has been eradicated, so it is no wonder that he lost his composure for a while.

"Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates will follow Your Highness to the death." Heiji Togo kneeled on his knees to show his loyalty. He used to elect this lord because of his survival, but now he is truly convinced.

"Heiji, together with Yukisuke, you and these little guys, search the entire copycat once to ensure that you don't miss a grain or a copper coin." Seeing that Heiji Togo gradually calmed down, Masara pointed to the patrol team standing in two rows in the yard to arrange the way.

"Yes, Your Highness" Heiji Togo immediately took the order.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." Just as Zhengliang was about to further explain the details of the search, he hurried in, "Your Highness, Lord Tsuda, please go there."

When Zhengliang heard this, his heart immediately skipped a beat. Could something happened there? So he hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

"Your Highness, a small copper mine was found there, so Lord Tsuda asked you to come and take a look," Zu Qing replied quickly.

"Copper Mine?" Masaruo was extremely surprised, then looked at Yusuke on the side.

"Your Highness, I don't know that there is a copper mine in the village." Yukisuke was obviously shocked by the news he heard.

"Okay, take me to see you right away, you can come together." After leaving two Zuqing guarding the warehouse in the yard, Masara, accompanied by Zuqing, to the place where Hirozo Tsuda discovered the copper mine. Following the mountain path, he walked north for nearly two quarters of an hour. From a distance, he saw several people standing at the foot of the mountain at the intersection of the mountain and the small mountain peaks in the north. One of them was Hirozo Tsuda.

"Your Highness" saw Masayoro coming, Tsuda Hirozo immediately walked over quickly, "They are mining refugees imprisoned in the Banshi family's cell. We learned from them that there was actually a small copper mine here, which had been mined for nearly a year," Tsuda Hirozo pointed to the people behind and said.

"Oh? Where is the copper mine?" Masarara looked at the people behind Hirosomus Tsuda and asked.

"Your Highness, the copper mine is right in front of me. I accidentally discovered it while digging mud and stones to build a mountain village. I just went in and saw it. The mine was already very deep," Tsuda Hirosum replied.

"Are there anyone among these miners who know how to survey? How long can this copper mine be mined?" Zhengliang continued to ask.

"Your Highness, those miners said that the person who discovered this copper mine had died of fatigue half a year ago, but before his death, he said that this small copper mine could only be exhausted for another two years, and it is estimated that it can only collect about tens of thousands of kilograms." Tsuda Hirosomori seemed to have obtained enough information from those refugees.

"What a pity." Zhengliang couldn't help but feel regretful after hearing this, "Have you found the copper ore that was dug out before?"

"Your Highness, you only found hundreds of kilograms of copper ore in the front yard of the mine. According to those miners, these copper ore will be transported away every month. These copper ore are temporarily unable to be arranged because Banishi Daro was unconscious, so they were not transported away," Tsuda Hirosomor replied.

"Your Highness, these copper ores should have been transported to the mountain," said Yukisuke suddenly at this time. "Every month-on-month-on-slot Daro will arrange some loyal subordinates to transport a batch of supplies to the foot of the mountain to exchange with the Tianno family. I guess it is mainly these copper ores."

"Tano family?" Masaru looked at Yukisuke with confusion.

"Your Highness, two years ago, the Tahara family colluded with Danishi Daro and attacked the old leader at the foot of the mountain, so Danishi Daro has been in contact with the Tanye family." Seeing Masayoro's doubts, Yukisuke quickly analyzed, "A year ago, no one was allowed to approach, so most people in the village didn't know that a copper mine was found here. Recalling the increasing grain of the village in the past two years, it should be exchanged for these copper mines and the materials robbed."

"It seems that our neighbors are so fat," Masaruo couldn't help but sigh. Yukisuke and Tsuda Hirozo looked at each other, as if they were stunned by a strange word suddenly appearing from the lord.

"Kuozong, please settle down these mining refugees. Heiji and Yukisuke, please separate them according to the original arrangement." Masayora ignored everyone's surprise, pondered for a while and continued to arrange. No matter what the situation of the rich people around him, let's finish the copycat first and then consider it.

"Yes, Your Highness" everyone took the order and left in unison.

"Kisanro, how did the things I told him to be done?" After everyone left, Masayoro turned around and looked at the two little surnames following behind and asked.

"Your Highness, Tadashiro and others are now gathering the remaining personnel in the mountain village to the gate of the mountain village. Tadashiro and others cooperate with the work of Osaki and did not act abnormally. The bandit leader Danishi Daro was also found. When he was found, there were no males in the yard of Banishi's family, and the only male Danishi Daro was also in a coma. There was no obstruction during the search process," Kissanro reported.

"Well, continue to follow Tadajiro and the others and pay attention to their actions at any time." Masaruo frowned and said. After all, Tadajiro and the others were also newly surrendered, and they were also bandits. Before they were fully familiar with them, they should be careful. Although the bandits have perished, there are still local tyrants who are much more powerful than themselves around, and even other bandits who have learned about the situation here will definitely take action. If there is unstable within the territory at that time, the situation will be in danger.

"Your Highness..." Kissanro suddenly knelt on the ground, his voice choked.

"What's going on with you?" Masayoro was stunned by Kissanro's sudden movements and asked quickly.

"Your Highness, please help me find my sister," Kissanro kowtowed and begged.

"Sister?" Zhengliang felt confused, but soon thought of something and asked immediately, "Your sister is in the parody?"

"I don't know," Kisanro burst into tears, "but she was captured by these bandits in the town a year ago. In order to protect us, my father was also killed and my sister was not able to take it back. In the end, my mother and sister were left at home. My mother was also bedridden. If she could find her sister, my mother's illness would definitely be cured."

"This..." Zhengliang didn't expect that there would be such a thing, and he felt very uncomfortable. In the end, he could only comfort him, "Kisanro, after everyone was gathered, you can go and look for it. I will find a pharmacist for your mother's territory as soon as possible." Now he can only do this. As for his sister, the hope that she can find is really slim.

"Thank you, your highness, thank you, your highness." Kissanro kowtowed several times and said gratefully.

"Okay, Kisanro, take me to the yard of Danishi, and then you go to the gate of the village to help Lord Osaki concentrate everyone." Masarara arranged. If something happened like this, he probably didn't have the energy to continue monitoring Tadajiro and the others, but with Kyuji Osaki and Hirozo Tsuda, there should be no big problem.

"Let's go, let's take a look." After saying that, Zhengliang led the two little surnames forward.
