After a day's rest, the next day, Cui Du was back to his energetic self and followed the Commandery Princess on a tour of the silver mine.
During the inspection, Cui Du was astounded: "This silver mine is indeed no smaller than the iron mine."
"Yes, this entire mountain is filled with silver mines. Only a part has been mined so far." Jiang Shaohua chuckled softly, "If the operation becomes too noticeable, it would attract attention. Besides, those mining in this mountain are criminals sentenced to death. Once inside, they cannot leave. Manpower is very limited here."
Over at the iron mine, workers are continuously recruited. But the silver mine here is especially concealed. Once in, there's no way out, and the food and supplies are all delivered by County Magistrate Chen's trusted aides.
