State government.

bid farewell to Gonggong Zhang and the team that passed the decree.

The others went to their own jobs, Wang Chen went back to work, more or less to deal with some government affairs, and couldn't do nothing, in fact, he was a quiet Zhizhou, basically a shopkeeper, and the people below took care of it, just submit it to him for approval.

Especially Xiao Jianhua, although he is a staff member, in addition to not interfering in politics, he has given a lot of important opinions on people's livelihood, military, economy, etc., and has helped deal with a lot.

To tell the truth, Wang Chen felt that Mr. Xiao was more suitable to be a governor than himself.

in the office.

I just picked up a report on agriculture and read it, roughly according to what Wang Chen said before, this year, he called on the local people to change the progress of planting and throwing hybrid rice.

After looking at the two lines, there was a knock on the door.

Knock, knock.

The sound is soft and rhythmic.

Wang Chen put down the report, looked up and said, "Please come in." ”

Squeak, the door was pushed open from the outside, and then Leng Yan, dressed in white, walked in.

Wang Chen smiled: "Why are you here?"

"Something. Leng Yan was expressionless as always, pointing outside, "Senior brother, they are here." ”

Ouch, I forgot about it if you didn't say it.

Last time, she said that she asked Leng Yan to call her brothers and sisters over, and she said that she would arrive within three or five days, but now seven or eight days have passed.

In order to show respect, Wang Chen took the initiative to stand up and walked outside, and asked, "They just arrived?"

Leng Yan shook her head, "It's been two or three days." ”

"Why don't you bring me to see me?" said Wang Chen.

Leng Yan said cleanly: "You are busy, you can't find anyone." ”

Wang Chen sweated for a moment, it seems to be like this, buddy has been busy in the past few days, and it is normal to find no one.

I ran to the door and saw six people waiting there.

The man who is about two meters tall at the head has a fierce and vicious face, a tiger's back and an ape waist, and looks a bit like the late Dasha who made movies in modern society, with a fierce face and a simple face.

The other two young men are about twenty years old, one is seventeen or eighteen years old, the twenty-year-old one is very ugly, nostrils are facing the sky, and his dress is a little sloppy, but the young man who is seventeen or eighteen years old looks very handsome, if you have to say it, I am afraid that Wu Yanzu at the peak of his appearance is not as good.

As for the three women, one of them made Wang Chen very speechless, because the one wearing a flower skirt was actually an old woman in her fifties, Wo Ri, this is a cold and glamorous junior sister? Don't you be a teacher, right?

There are two left, very beautiful, sixteen or seventeen-year-old women in pink dresses with charming faces, and their eyes show pity from time to time, which makes people have an urge to hold them in their arms and protect them.

Wang Chen looked at them and welcomed them into the office.

It stands to reason that these strange people should have a very strange temper, but to Wang Chen's surprise, Leng Yan's group of senior brothers and sisters are very humble and respectful, and he can even see the awe of himself in the eyes of the senior brothers and others.

After the greetings, Leng Yan introduced them one by one, and she first pointed to "Dasha" and said, "My senior brother, Yuan Zheng." ”

"Hello brother. Wang Chen greeted.

Yuan Zheng hurriedly said: "I've seen the owner." ”

Leng Yan introduced the sloppy young man, "Third junior brother, Yan Hua." ”

Wang Chen said: "The third junior brother is good. ”

Yan Hua's reflex arc was a little sluggish, and only after about two seconds did he say, "Hello host." ”

"Don't blame the child, the third junior brother should be thinking about what kind of mechanism structure. Leng Yan explained.

It's normal for this person who is good at organ production and scientific research to be immersed in invention and creation, and Wang Chen certainly won't blame him.

Leng Yan continued to introduce, and the next one was "Wu Yanzu", "Seventh Senior Brother Kong Fan." ”

Before Wang Chen could speak, Kong Fan said with a flattering face: "I have seen the owner, and in the future, our brothers and sisters will follow you, if you don't do anything well, please bear with me." ”

Hey, you are really good at talking, Wang Chen said with a smile: "What did the seventh junior brother say, since you are Miss Leng's brothers and sisters, then you are my Wang's brothers and sisters." ”

I don't know if Leng Yan has an opinion on her three junior sisters, or if she wants to end the introduction quickly, she introduced her fifty-year-old mother-in-law, a woman in pink clothes and a long black skirt respectively, "The fourth junior sister is a thousand-faced jade fox Su Ju, the fifth junior sister Xue Ke and the sixth junior sister Xi Ying." ”

Six people were introduced.

Among them, only the fourth junior sister, Su Ju, has a nickname.

After the greeting, Wang Chen felt quite strange and asked, "Miss Leng, why is your fourth senior sister called the Thousand-Faced Jade Fox?"

Leng Yan didn't answer directly, but said to Su Ju: "Change me." ”

"I don't want to be your cold look. Su Ju pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I'd better become a senior brother." ”

Wang Chen was stunned when he heard it, what do you mean?

The next moment he understood.

I saw Su Ju's sleeves blocked, and when he took it away again, his face was exactly the same as that of his senior brother Yuan Zheng, except for his figure and height, he was basically the same.

Wang Chen was quite surprised, and was about to say something, but what was even more surprising was still to come.

I saw Su Ju getting taller at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, and after about ten seconds, she was actually on par with Yuan Zheng, and then, her clothes seemed to be propped up by something, and after more than ten seconds, except for the flower skirt that had not been changed, the other faces and body shapes were exactly the same as Yuan Zheng.

it!

Are you a living person?

Wang Chen looked a little dumbfounded, my God, what kind of skill is this?

Leng Yan took the initiative to explain, "There is a mechanism made by the third junior brother hidden in her clothes, and the size and size are all mechanism changes. ”

It turned out that this was the case, Wang Chen was curious: "What kind of mechanism can make people change their size and reminders?"

Su Ju took the initiative to bend down and pull the skirt up a little, and a spring-like device appeared below to attach to the embroidered shoes, and then she pulled the clothes on her arms again, and a layer of something a bit like inflatable rubber appeared, and finally, she said in a man's voice that was exactly the same as Yuan Zheng's: "I press the mechanism, and it will inflate the prosthesis to achieve the burly body of the senior brother." ”

"Awesome. Wang Chen praised from the bottom of his heart, and was puzzled: "Will your voice change?"

Su Ju's voice changed again, this time it became the same as Wang Chen's voice, "Will your voice still change?"

Wang Chen: "......"

Cow break!

Leng Yan debunked: "She knows ventriloquism." ”

Of course Wang Chen had heard of ventriloquism, but he had never been exposed to it in his life, he was surprised and surprised for a while, and then asked: "Miss Su, do you know anything other than being able to learn human voices?"

"Both. Su Ju said that her body slowly returned to its original state, and with a wipe of her hand on her face, she turned into a strange woman's appearance again, the kind of melon seed face, not beautiful, very ordinary, and I don't know if it was her real face, she blinked mischievously, "The owner, you can test me." ”

That's a good idea.

Wang Chen thought about it, and suddenly remembered that he had read a Qing Dynasty prose about ventriloquism, so he said: "I have a question, in the dead of night, there was a dog barking in the alley, and then a woman was awakened and yawned...... The sound of the husband scolding the older child, like the sound of the toilet bucket...... It's on fire......" He smiled, "Can it be done?"

"Yes. Su Ju closed her eyes and pondered for a while.

Wang Chen waited quietly without urging.

Suddenly, it seemed that a dog barked in the distance, "Wang, Wang." ”

Immediately after that, the sound of a woman yawning came, and even the sound of stretching her waist and lifting the quilt was vivid, and then, the woman said: "Official, the slave family wants." ”

A man's voice said, "...... Drink...... Dalang I ......"

It's exactly the same as what Wang Chen just said!

The husband and wife have sex with each other, the child wakes up, the little solution, and so on, including the sound of rats moving, the pots and utensils falling over, and the woman coughing in her dreams.

Wang Chen's mood relaxed slightly, and he gradually straightened his sitting posture.

Suddenly, an angry man's voice came, "Gone to water!" The husband got up and cried out, and the woman arose and cried out. The two children cried together. In a moment, hundreds of people shouted, hundreds of children cried, and hundreds of dogs barked. In the middle was the sound of crackling and collapsing houses, the sound of fire bursting, the sound of whirring wind, and the sound of hundreds of people crying for help, the sound of people fighting the fire when they pulled down the burning houses, the sound of rescuing things, and the sound of splashing water.

Even if he knew that Su Ju was showing ventriloquism, Wang Chen's face still changed, and he almost thought that it was really a fire.

What's even more exaggerated is still behind, and Ding Judge's frightened voice sounded outside, "Fight the fire! Someone is coming to put out the fire!

Depend on!

What a mouth, you're a sound synthesizer!

Wang Chen was completely convinced, and hurriedly said, "Okay, Miss Su, it's okay." ”

Su Ju's voice was retracted, then he regained his initial voice, covered his mouth and smiled: "Dongjia, is the carving insect skill in your eyes?"

As he was talking, the door was slammed open from the outside, and everyone looked over, it was Ding Signing, only to see him sweating profusely, pointing outside and yelling: "Zhizhou, go to the water! Go out quickly!"

Wang Chen was happy, pointed at Ding and said, "Look, our Ding judge is scared by your ventriloquism, and you still say that it is a small skill of carving insects?"

Ding was stunned, and said dumbfounded: "Zhizhou, what do you mean by this?"

Wang Chen didn't explain, waved his hand and said, "You didn't go out of the water, you go out to appease everyone." ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't go out of the water?" Ding was stunned, looked at Wang Chen and the people present suspiciously, perhaps thinking of Wang Chen's magic, he didn't say much, bowed and said, "Yes." Then he took the door and left.

Just the skills shown by Su Ju, a fourth junior sister, made Wang Chen extremely amazing, and there are also mechanisms made by the third junior brother, which can make Su Ju change her body shape and height, to be honest, Wang Chen really has seen the magic skills of our ancient Chinese people.

Terrible.

It's amazing.

I don't know what skills the rest have.

Wang Chen studied them one by one.

The third junior brother Yan Hua showed another trick, for example, it is recorded in history that Lu Ban made a wooden bird that could fly, and the wooden bird that he made that could fly was not big, only the size of a palm, but it could really fly, which was very magical.

The sixth junior sister, Xi Ying, showed a small wooden box hidden weapon similar to the "Rainstorm Pear Flower Needle", as long as the switch on it was pressed, dozens of poisonous needles would shoot out together.

Wang Chen observed, the range is about seven to eight meters, and the small wooden box is very small, it is impossible to prevent it, if it is a secret man, within a short distance, this thing may be more convenient than a gun.

The fifth junior sister, Xue Ke's skill is said to be able to gather intelligence.

There is no way to test this.

But Wang Chen couldn't help but follow Xue Ke's words when he spoke several times, this woman's speech, demeanor, etc., if it is put in modern society, it is definitely more powerful than people who make movies and win movies.

Senior brother Yuan Zheng was very direct, ran outside and took the hundred-pound stone lock that Xiao Feng practiced in his hand to play, and threw all kinds of tricks to catch and dance again, which seemed to be easier than Zhang Qing playing with twenty or thirty pounds of stone locks at the beginning.

Well, the only regret is that the seventh junior brother Kong Fan didn't show any skills, all kinds of whiskers and horses, like a dog's legs, anyway, all kinds of good words to praise people are constant, Wang Chen was so boasted by him that he almost thought that he was the emperor.

Found a treasure.

Dude really picked up the treasure this time.

Wang Chen was excited in his heart, and he was busy arranging for this group of people to stay, and talked about treatment by the way.

Finally, wait until the group is gone.

Wang Chen smiled and said to Leng Yan: "Fortunately, you are the head, otherwise how could I have gained so many talents." ”

Leng Yan said: "At first, some people were reluctant, and they were ordered by my master, but after seeing the methods of your immortal family in the morning, they all admired the five-body throwing themselves to the ground, saying that it was their honor to be able to do things under the hands of the immortals." ”

Belch.

And such a good thing?

In order to win the trust of Eunuch Zhang, the buddies didn't expect to inadvertently insert willows and willows into the shade, so that the cold brothers and sisters sincerely surrendered?

Wang Chen couldn't laugh or cry a little, but he was very satisfied in his heart, the brothers and sisters of Leng Yan are very remarkable, and there may be useful places in the future, for example, the third junior brother is good at making organs, and the buddies can mention some points and let them engage in some inventions and creations, and for example, the fourth junior sister Su Ju, who has stunts such as disguise and ventriloquism, can do too much for herself.

……

Wang Chen has been very busy these days.

In addition to training troops and letting Qiu Gongliang continue to build houses and build city walls along the vicinity of the state government, he also met with several teachers who had applied for the job, as well as the local Gewu Zhizhi people in Jinghai, Tongzhou.

Of course, the main thing is to think about how to bring the natural resources of the Northern Song Dynasty to the modern society in exchange for a lot of money.

There was no direction for a while.

On this morning, Wang Chen was just about to go to see the progress of the military training, when an unexpected person came to the door, it was actually Liu Quan, a short and thin man in his forties who had been a bandit in Mengyin.

Wang Chen took him to the office, poured a cup of hot tea, and then called Leng Yan to act as a translator, and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"

Liu Quan, who was sitting across the desk, looked dusty and dusty, and said with a slight stammer: "Master Sword Immortal, I specially sent you a diamond, you said that you would send it to us every month." ”

You don't say buddy, you really forgot.

I've been so busy lately, I've been a little dizzy.

Hearing that there were diamonds again, Wang Chen's eyes lit up and said, "Where is the diamond?"

Liu Quan carefully took out a cloth bag from his pocket, then put it on the desk, untied the strap, and spread it out, revealing a pile of semi-finished diamonds.

At a glance, there are about hundreds.

There are large and small, the smallest estimate is only a few points, it is considered a broken diamond, many of them seem to be of average quality, can only be regarded as industrial-grade diamonds, and only a dozen or so are gem-quality diamonds.

The largest piece is a white diamond slightly larger than the pigeon's egg in the previous round, which looks to be 120 carats, about the same size as the Chenbu No. 3 diamond found in modern society.

This is nothing, the most eye-catching is a piece of about 50 carats of pink diamond, the color is very good, but the shape is a little irregular, it is expected to find someone to cut and polish it, and finally can be made into a pendant or ring of more than 40 carats, if it is sold, it is definitely worth more than the pigeon egg diamond sold to John Chris Morgan before.

Because it's a pink diamond!

Wang Chen didn't even look at the other diamonds, including the one hundred and twenty carat diamond, he picked up this pink diamond and looked at it carefully, and said, "Where did you find this diamond?"

"Let's go behind the mountain. Liu Quan replied.

Wang Chen was very happy in his heart and praised him: "Good, well done." He put the diamond back in the cloth bag and put it away, and then said: "Later, I will let someone take you to the account office to receive the money for these two months, I have promised, if you find a large piece of diamond diamond, you will be rewarded, this time you found such a large piece of pink diamond for me, I will reward you with a hundred yuan, in addition, Mengyin is far away from here, so let's give you a carriage, hard work for you." ”

Hearing that there was a reward, Liu Quan was very happy, and said again and again: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's our blessing to be able to do things for the Sword Immortal Master." ”

A few idle words.

Wang Chen asked Leng Yan to take Liu Quan to the account room to get the money.

When he was the only one left in the office, Wang Chen began to think about making money again.

Diamonds are a profit point.

It's just that you can only take the boutique route, because the diamond market in modern society is monopolized by a few large well-known brands, in addition to the boutique route, the low-end market wants to do too difficult, not impossible, willing to spend money is still possible, the problem is that now Wang Chen is in a hurry to use money, and there is not so much time to tinker.

Because in the low-end diamond market, the most important thing is fame and certificates.

I don't have it for the time being.

So what should be done to make money fast?

Just when it came to diamonds, Wang Chen suddenly thought of another gemstone - jadeite.

It is said that the turnover of jadeite is hundreds of billions of dollars every year, and today's Myanmar jadeite has not been mined how, if you go there to mine and then open up a new jadeite market, then the money will continue to come.

Thinking of this, Wang Chen's eyes lit up.

Right.

The jadeite industry can do.

Unlike diamonds, which are completely monopolized by a few major brands, as long as there are raw materials, even if they are sold to jewelry manufacturers at a slightly lower price, they must be able to reap a lot of money in a very short time.

The biggest problem today is mining.

It's just that Wang Chen thinks that this problem is easier to solve, in ancient times, it was either that there were no ores, or more people were invited, and it was more troublesome to mine, but so what, buddy was rich in the Northern Song Dynasty, what are you going to do to make one or two million yuan a month? It's just a bunch of numbers, it's better to find someone to mine jadeite mines.

That's it.

Wang Chen made up his mind and decided to go back to the modern society in the past two days to collect information on the jade mines in Myanmar, and then bring people from the Northern Song Dynasty.

You must know that during the Qing Dynasty, there were people in China who went to Myanmar to mine jadeite, all of which were the most primitive manual mining methods, and now although it is the Northern Song Dynasty, the difference in mining technology should not be too big.

Thinking of this, he called Wang Yuncang.

"Do you know that we have craftsmen who specialize in jade mining in Jinghai, Tongzhou?" asked Wang Chen.

Wang Yuncang pointed to the direction of Tongzhou City in the southwest, "Qian Yuan specializes in this industry, and there are about one or two hundred people under his hands. ”

One or two hundred people is definitely not enough, but mining is a coolie, as long as there is a group of people who know how to take it, coolies are very easy to find, Wang Chen snorted, "Help me invite the money clerk to come over, by the way, you can help me recruit a large number of coolies who are willing to leave their hometown to mine jade in the past few days, and it is okay to open the money high." ”

Well, when you go abroad to work, the salary will definitely be high.

Don't say goodbye, modern society in the country as a bricklayer, a day wage of about 400, excluding holidays, rest, etc., the annual income is about 120,000, not to mention the wonderful place in Australia The weekly salary of the bricklayer is 30,000, just say that the general place, double the domestic should not be a problem.

Wang Chen's uncle is engaged in this industry, as a senior executive in a foreign construction site, he heard his uncle say that many bricklayers can earn more than 200,000 yuan a year for labor abroad, even if the steel bar workers earn less than the bricklayers, there are about 200,000 yuan a year, like some construction truck drivers can earn more than 400,000 yuan a year.

You can't earn that much at home.

Naturally, Wang Chen wanted the coolies of the Northern Song Dynasty to go abroad to mine jadeite mines in Myanmar, and the wages must be higher than the market price, otherwise who would want to go?

The ancient people's concept of the homeland was much stronger than that of the modern people.

……

Around six o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Chen and Qian Yuan, who had not seen each other for a long time, met in the small dining room of the state government, just the two of them, a table of dishes, what big yellow croaker, pomfret, moray eel and other seafood, in addition to mutton, chicken, etc., but there are relatively few vegetables.

The two chatted while eating.

Qian Yuanwai thanked him heartily: "Wang Zhizhou, thank you for handing over the Wang Ji of Liao to Zeng Gongzi, we can make a lot of money by following him." ”

Wang Chen waved his hand, "Who to do it for is not to do it, if you like it, find a place without Wang Ji, I can give you a franchise right." ”

Qian Yuan was overjoyed, and hit the snake with a stick and said: "Then thank you Zhizhou." ”

Wang Chen won over people's hearts for a while.

said a lot of good things, what we are a business house, we should take care of each other and so on.

After that, he smacked his lips and deliberately complained: "You promised me to get me some rare stones every month, why don't you see any movement? ”

Qian Yuanwai's face turned red, and he sneered: "Something has happened, I have a conflict with the local Haoqiang in Chuzhou. ”

All right.

I see.

Wang Chen didn't blame him, but asked, "I heard that you have a group of people under your command who specialize in mining jade?"

"Not bad. Qian Yuanwai nodded, "I'm just in the jade business, and I can make more money by mining by myself than by taking goods from others." ”

Wang Chen said: "Can you lend me a few masters with rich experience in jade mining?"

Qian didn't ask anything else, and didn't say a word: "You have spoken, I have no reason not to agree, so let's do it, I will lend you one of the masters of each mining process, okay?"

Wang Chen said happily: "Then thank you." ”

Qian Yuanwai asked: "I just don't know what kind of jade you want to mine, whether you are going to mine it open-pit or underground." ”

Ore mining in China can be traced back to the Neolithic Age.

In fact, there were already a lot of mining technologies in ancient times, which Wang Chen knew, but he didn't know how many mining methods there were, and he was curious: "How to mine open-pit mining?"

Qian Yuanwai 1510 replied: "Open-pit mining can be divided into excavation method and reclamation method, excavation method, this method is mainly used to take shallow surface jade, in the mining process to bury a very shallow ore body called turf mine or chicken nest mine, as long as the topsoil or thin stone layer is removed, digging a few feet, you can get jade." Although some jade can be mined in the open pit, because the surrounding rocks are hard and not easy to break, we still have a fire method. ”

Wang Chen nodded again and again when he heard this, he knew that the fire method was to burn the rocks with fire, heat expansion and contraction, and it was convenient for mining.

He asked again, "What about the land reclamation method?"

Qian Yuanwai said with a smile: "The land reclamation method is to plough the land with jade, and the jade will be exposed to the ground, so that we can get the jade we need." ”

Oh, it's easy.

Wang Chen continued to ask: "What about underground mining?"

"Underground mining. Qian Yuanwai said carefully: "This is divided into several kinds, vertical shafts, inclined shafts, flat roadway joint development, etc., for example, the vertical shaft excavation to a certain depth, then to both sides of the excavation stage flat roadway, in the middle or one end of the roadway, under the blind well to the jade quarrying field, so that you can find the jade hidden deeper. ”

Yes.

These techniques should be more than enough to mine jadeite rough.

After Wang Chen listened, he pondered for a moment and said: "Whether it is an open-pit mining master or an underground mining master, you can lend me a few, but I declare in advance that they will not work in our Great Song Dynasty, and may have to go to other countries. ”

"Haha, if others estimate that the group of masters under my command may not be willing to go, but you are our local city god in Jinghai, Tongzhou, a living immortal, who is not willing to work for you?" Qian Yuanwai laughed and said: "Don't worry, I'll go back and talk to them, and keep this group of masters rushing to come." ”

The problem of craftsmen who mined jadeite ore was solved.

Wang Chen was very satisfied with the fact that his previous contacts had played a role, and he decided to return to modern society tomorrow to find out about the situation in the jade mines in Myanmar.

……

The next day.

Wake up early in the morning.

Wang Chen accompanied the pregnant Liu Qihong for a while, then walked to a place where no one was, turned on the virtual screen and prepared to cross.

But as soon as he turned it on, he was surprised to find that the virtual screen had changed again!

To be precise, it was his own city god statue that had changed, and he was actually dressed in a layer of gold.

Hey?

What's going on?

Wang Chen never understood what was going on with the statue of the city god, and when he found that there was a change, he tried to click on it and take a look, and there was still a vacancy written on it by the civil and military judges, the gods of various divisions, etc., and there was no change.

He tried to pull down, but the third division, the twenty-fourth division, and so on did not change.

Finally, I came to the supernatural power.

Originally, there was only one supernatural power in the Ming Dynasty, but at this moment, another supernatural power appeared at the bottom - step by step!

Step by step?

What's the use of that?

Wang Chen didn't understand, but there was a precedent for this supernatural power, and it must be a great supernatural power, but why did he add a supernatural power for no reason?

What the hell is going on?

Wang Chen felt very puzzled, forget it, try this magic power first, and see what it does.
