Chapter 753 About the Mine
When Yang Xianmao heard this, someone sent a pillow if he really wanted to fall asleep. Good things are delivered to the door, and you don't have to worry about it at all, even these things of transportation are all done. At the moment, he happily arched his hand and said: "That's great, then I'll hand over all the mining tasks on our mine to your gang to take care of." As for the price, I'm sure you won't let me suffer, and of course I can't let you suffer, just give me a fair price. ”
Lord Cao Duo was so happy that he was almost about to dance, this was really a send-off in the snow, and he was still discussing with Cao Yun and the two of them how to find a batch of jobs. After making money, I can help those shipwrights and coolies earn money to go home for the New Year, isn't this just sent to the door?
However, it is not certain whether it can be put into production as soon as possible to see the excavation situation. Seeing that the end of the year is approaching, I'm afraid that I won't be in a hurry. But it doesn't matter, as long as you finalize the work here, you have a way to borrow some money to spend it first, and then fill it in when you make money.
Thinking of this, Lord Cao Helm was overjoyed and thanked him. So Cao Yun judged to be the middleman, and the two quickly agreed on a price that both parties were satisfied with as the freight, which was indeed cheaper than other shippers, so both parties were very happy, and it also gave Yang Xianmao a big face.
After agreeing, Cao Yunju immediately wrote a contract to the two of them with a pen, and immediately signed and signed it, and the matter was settled.
After this was done, both parties were very happy.
Cao Yun said that the mining rights would be handled in the afternoon of the next day, and that the next morning he would bring people from the Yamen to the site with Yang Xianmao to conduct on-the-spot surveys and demarcate the scope of the mining area, and then the mining license could be issued. It won't take more than three days to get it at the earliest. Before that, Yang Xianmao can organize the manpower needed for mining first, so as not to be in a hurry.
Yang Xianmao said: "I want to ask people from nearby villages to mine. They live close to each other, and they can also find a job for the local people, and there is no need for me to build another shed, killing two birds with one stone, of course, in the future, the scale of production will be expanded, and migrant workers can also be recruited. ”
Cao Yunju nodded frequently, and praised Yang Xianmao's kindness and brought benefits to the people, and finally asked him: "Who are you going to sell this iron ore to?"
Yang Xianmao has also been scratching his head about this matter, he is not good at this industry.
Seeing Yang Xianmao's expression, Cao Yunju knew that he had no idea, so he thought for a while and said: "If you say that you are not in a hurry to make money and have money transferred, then you don't have to worry, sell them to those blacksmith shops or blacksmith shops one by one, or transport them to other places to sell." However, this may make you have a large backlog of funds, and the advantage is that you can sell it at a better price. If you don't want to bother with this, want to save trouble, and can't come up with too much money for turnover, the best way is to sell it directly to the yamen. There are people in the yamen who specialize in buying iron ore, coal and ore, and they can even pay you in advance. Let you take the money first and then deliver it. I'll do it, no problem. ”
Yang Xianmao couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, after the minerals were mined, it was not a small amount of money that could be coped, if he could get the money turnover first, pay it before mining, or pay it after mining, then the worries can be completely abandoned, but I don't know if the price of the product is appropriate.
After Yang Xianmao asked this question, Cao Yunju smiled and said: "Selling to the yamen, of course, is not as good as selling to a private workshop. The money will not be so high, however, it is also fairer and will not lose too much. Because the imperial court is now in urgent need of ore to smelt, there are a large number of places that need money, and fighting against the Western Xia requires a large amount of iron ore to build arrow blades, so the price of the imperial court to buy iron ore is still acceptable, and even relatively high. Those who do business can accumulate some shares from the hands of the imperial court to buy iron ore, so the price is higher, but in fact it is not much higher, you can find out if you inquire about this. ”
Yang Xianmao said: "I believe in you, of course I am willing to save trouble, then please trouble the lord to contact me and sell the mine directly to the imperial court, so as to save trouble." ”
Cao Yun slapped his chest and said that everything was wrapped up in him, no problem.
After dealing with this matter, Yang Xianmao's heart was very happy, and he wanted to invite the two of them to eat together.
Cao Yunju was also very happy, and said that he had to be the owner of the house, but in the end, it was Cao Duo who invited guests. He invited them in the name of hundreds of shipwrights and coolies under his command, saying thank you Yang Xianmao for giving them a chance to make money, and this opportunity was not a short-term one-time time, but a long-term one-time opportunity. In this way, their lives are guaranteed, so he must be the host, and the two listened to him and agreed.
So, a few people went to the opposite restaurant, called a private room, ordered a table of exquisite wine and food, pushed the cup and changed the lamp, so that they drank bitterly, until late at night, when they were full of wine and food, they were drunk and then they said goodbye and went home.
Early the next morning, Cao Yunju and Cao Duo came to Yang Xianmao's pharmacy, it turned out that Cao Yunju went back after dinner last night, and did not go home directly, but went straight to the household department responsible for issuing the mining license, found Sihu to join the army, told him about it, and asked him to come early in the morning to do this.
The relationship between the two is good, and they are very face-saving to each other, so they agreed, and they followed Yang Xianmao's pharmacy early in the morning.
And Lord Cao Helm also prepared a fast boat, got on the boat and went straight to the mountain villa a hundred miles away.
After disembarking from the ship, Yang Xianmao roughly demarcated a range based on the memory in his mind and the mining area of the coal mine in the memory of Venerable Ling Xiao.
According to the scope he delineated, the Sihu who was responsible for handling the mining license said to the army: "The area demarcated by Yang Gongzi is a bit large. According to the rules of the yamen, a deposit of 200 taels must be paid. However, if the Lord Cao Yun Judge comes out to do the guarantee in person, he can directly use the human insurance, and there is no need to pay additional money, of course, if he does not mine it within a year, I will ask the Lord Cao Yun for this money. ”
Cao Yunju and the others all laughed, they all knew that it was a half-truth and half-truth, but Yang Xianmao was still very grateful, which meant that Cao Yunju had done him a great favor and thanked him.
Cao Yunju didn't expect this Sihu to join the army and give face so much, and he also expressed his gratitude.
After finishing it, Master Cao discussed with Yang Xianmao that he could send a few people to help Yang Xianmao recruit villagers and serve as supervisors on the mine to prevent anyone from digging secretly.
Yang Xianmao was overjoyed when he heard this, and even thought of this kind of thing, then he was simply a hands-off shopkeeper. These digging, transporting, buying, and even the money have been helped by others, and this mine has been run too smoothly, so I am very happy, so I expressed my gratitude repeatedly.
Master Cao said: "I help you and help ourselves, you open this mine, we help you transport the mine, we can make money, so you don't have to thank you, because we didn't do it for nothing, hehehehe." So saying, all the people got out of the boat.
The matter was done, Cao Yunju was also very happy, and after thinking about it, he said that he would invite guests today, and go to get together again, Yang Xianmao thought of the agreement with the two princesses in the evening, so he shirked and said that he had something important to do, and he should pay for it.
The Sihu joined the army and said a few polite words. Cao Yunju patted Yang Xianmao on the shoulder and hurriedly said that he had something to do, although he was busy, he would take care of Sihu when he joined the army. After all, Sihu joined the army because of the face they knew, so he helped Yang Xianmao like this, and of course this face should be returned by him. Yang Xianmao didn't fight with him anymore, and expressed his gratitude repeatedly.
In the evening, Hua Youying and Hua Wuxiang came first. Yang Xianmao didn't send anyone to tell them that he had something to do tonight, because he thought that her father had done him such a big favor, how could he let him improve his medical skills better.
Since there is such a good thing as an association, and it is mainly based on medical skills, you can let them participate in it and improve their medical skills, but it is not necessary to let them participate, and it is also good as an exercise, so he will discuss the association with the two county lords and Fei Shuyun, and propose to ask them if they are willing to participate in it.
Of course, Hua Youying and Hua Wuxiang applauded, and a hundred were willing to participate.
So they waited together for the two county lords and Fei Shuyun. After they came, Yang Xianmao told the three of them that Hua Wuxiang and his brothers wanted to join the association.
Since it was recommended by Yang Xianmao, of course the three of them would not refuse. And it's Fei Shuyun's classmate and his sister, and their father is still Cao Yunju.
When it comes to the location of the association, it is not the same as what was discussed before, they all say that it is not in the restaurant, it is too vulgar, and they have a better place.
Yang Xianmao had already agreed to the restaurant opposite that he wanted a private room, but he didn't expect them to say that he would not go to the restaurant, Yang Xianmao felt a little curious, and hurriedly asked: "Where are you going?" Fei Shuyun smiled at each other with the two county lords, and said to Yang Xianmao: "Let's go to the river to form an association, the river breeze is gentle, and the lanterns are hung, isn't it more interesting." ”
Yang Xianmao looked at the weather and said: "It's a good idea, but now it's about to be the New Year, the cold wind on this river is cold, and it looks like it's going to rain and snow, will it freeze your body?"
The Lord of Yaoxiang smiled and said, "I'm so weak, I'm not afraid, what are you worried about?"
"I'm certainly not worried about myself. - My body fell into the water, and it was no problem to soak for three days, I was afraid of the two county lords. ”
"Then you don't have to worry about it, it's an idea we discussed, and of course we know it. ”
Since he said that, Yang Xianmao didn't want to say anything more, so he immediately agreed, so he took a carriage and went to Bianliang Wharf.
Fei Shuyun knew that Yang Xianmao hadn't bought a carriage yet, so she prepared an extra carriage.
In the Song Dynasty, because there was no place to raise horses, horses were very expensive, and ordinary people might not be able to buy them if they had money, but for the two county lords, it was not a problem, and they were both very good high-headed horses.
Sitting in a luxurious carriage, when they reached the dock, the two county lords let the carriage go back and said that they did not know when it would be completed. And don't let them park the carriage at the dock, it will attract too much attention, because as soon as they see the carriage, they will know that it is a person from a rich and noble family on the dock, and it will cause people to talk about it, which is not good.
