"When will the prefect have time?"

"It will take at least seven days before I can make the affairs of the yamen clear." Yin Zhifu said, "If your affairs are not urgent, or if it takes up a long time, I can squeeze out some time."

Upon hearing this, the gentleman shook his head slowly: "It's not urgent to say things, but it's always good to do it earlier, and it will definitely take up a longer time, so..."

He turned to look at Zhou Yan, "You go back and tell your head. This matter will be discussed and resolved slowly after the prefect has free time."

Zhou Yan was about to speak, but he heard that the prefect Yin said, "Wait."

When the gentleman and Zhou Yan heard the sound, they turned to look at the prefect Yin in confusion.

"I want to know first, what are you going to discuss with me to resolve?"

Zhou Yan's expression changed slightly, and he looked at the gentleman unconsciously.

The gentleman was silent for a moment, then said indifferently: "It's about the Feng family wanting to buy the Xin family iron ore."

"Iron ore?" Master Yin thought he had heard it wrong and looked at him in surprise, "What the sir just said was...Iron ore?"

The gentleman nodded lightly.

"Where did the iron ore come from the Xin family?" Yin prefect frowned and his face became solemn, "Is the Xin family an imperial merchant?"

As far as he knows, merchants secretly slaughtered mines was a death sentence that violated the court's laws, and in serious cases, they could even be executed.

Zhou Yan slowly clenched his hands tightly and began to feel uneasy.

"It's not an imperial merchant." The gentleman said indifferently, "but the Xin family has an iron ore in its hands, which is legal and has been reported to the court. Although the Xin family's iron ore has rich iron resources, the Xin family has not mined much, which means refining some iron tools that need to be used on the market, so it is not considered illegal or disorderly."

When the prefect Yin heard this, he became silent thoughtfully. Perhaps the news was a little difficult to digest, so he needed a cup of tea to suppress his shock.

After drinking a cup of tea for a while, he slowly spoke, his voice a little heavy, "So, what do the Feng family wants this iron ore to do?"

"I don't know this." The gentleman's tone was very ordinary, as if he really didn't know anything. "Feng came here today and just said hello to the prefect. For all other details, the prefect needs to sit down with the head of the Feng family and Mr. Xin to talk."

Prefect Yin didn't say anything, held the teacup and began to fall into deep thought.

His position as a prefect is only temporary. Before coming here, His Majesty informed him that the mission of this trip was to cooperate with King Chen and follow King Chen's instructions and actions.

He was naturally outstanding in his ability to be entrusted by His Majesty. At this time, he could be sure that King Chen was revealing some information to him - although this was the first time he saw King Chen after he came to Xunzhou, the two had never communicated in advance, and he could not know how King Chen trusted him so much.

But one thing is certain that everything King Chen did and every word he said today definitely has deep meaning, and he must understand what King Chen wants to express in the fastest time and perfectly cooperate with King Chen's plan.

The meaning of Chen Wang’s words is already very obvious. He did not participate in the iron ore discussion in detail. The Xin family, the original owner of the iron ore, did not involve any violation of the law, so there is no need to spend too much effort on the Xin family.

Fengjiajia mainly buys iron ore, not to make money. Xinjia's business is so big and has a wide range of things. If the iron ore is not used to cast weapons, the profits will not be much - at least not as good as tea, salt and silk.
