"I'm just here to ask some Uncle Fu if he knows where there is a salt mine, if it is possible for the Li family to buy it, it will be a good deal to sell some salt in the future."

"Huh?" When Li Fu heard this, his heart quickened, and his surprised expression startled Li De.

"Uncle Fu, what's wrong with you, you're not feeling well?" Li De asked.

"Eldest prince, don't mess around, the salt mines in the mountains are poisonous, if you sell them, the Li family will be implicated." Li Fu was surprised.

"Toxic, is there a precedent?" Li De asked curiously.

"Yes, there is, in order to make profits, some people will mix these mineral salts, and eating too much will really kill people, but you can't do this kind of thing." Li Fu admonished in a low voice.

"Knowing that people will die, there are still people who dare to do fake things, it's really bold to harm people." Li De said indignantly.

With a click, the wine glass in Li Fu's hand fell from his hand on the table.

"Eldest son, you say that people are bold and harmful, aren't you also thinking of fighting salt mines now?"

Li Fu really couldn't react, he really didn't know what the eldest prince was going to do, but he must have persuaded this kind of thing, even if it didn't work, he had to tell the master's mother.

Li Fu's loyalty was beyond Li De's cognition, and he didn't know that the butler in front of him had already made up his mind to tell the matter a moment ago, and the purpose was to find a way to stop him.

"It's not a profit head, they all want to make money, but they forget that a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way." Li Fudao.

"Well, it shows that the benefits of salt are very considerable, and they can take risks for this." Li Dedao.

"The eldest prince, since you know this, why bother about this matter, now the Li family does not have much industry, and the income from the eldest prince's restaurant is a lot."

Li De shook his head and smiled bitterly, can you make a lot of money by opening a restaurant, what if there is competition after a while.

For the sake of profit, someone dares to do things that hurt nature and reason, not to mention that his business is reasonable, legal and profitable.

"Uncle Fu don't worry, my master once taught me that I can use a method to remove the poison of mine salt, so I am different from those who are greedy for money and kill their lives, if the mine is run well, it is really a million profits."

"If what the eldest prince says is true, the old man can really buy the mine, but he may have to spend more money to hide it from others." Li Fudao.

"No problem, can you do it for 5,000?" Li De asked.

He thinks it is quite suitable for each salt mine of 5,000 yuan, as for the money, there is not much money that can be understood in the running accounts of a restaurant, and the money earned when selling roast mutton before can be used.

It shouldn't be difficult to scrape together 5,000 yuan, but it needs the mother's consent.

"Eldest son, I'll do my best." Li Fu agreed.

After finalizing this matter, Li De will not disturb the other party's solo drinking, and it is not something that can be done in one day.

Li De has made clear his plan, that is, to accumulate strength, and the easiest thing is economically, so he must make good use of it.

Making money and engaging in invention and creation, he feels good about this kind of life.

A few days later, Li De was inspecting the Lu brothers' water house project, when he saw Li Fu walking towards him in a dusty manner.

"The eldest son, the matter of the mine is done." Li Fu lowered his voice and said.

Li De said that he could detoxify the mineral salt, but Li Fu still felt that this matter had to be low-key, what if it didn't work out, so when he talked about this matter, he instinctively felt a little sneaky.

"Let's go, go to the study."

The Li family's study is Li An's, Li De does not have this condition at all, there is really a wing room in the small courtyard where he lives, which is not inhabited, but there are a lot of miscellaneous things, all kinds of miscellaneous things that Li De needs.

The study had never been sorted out, so the conversation had to go to his father's study at this time.

"It's done, the mine is fifty miles outside the city, the mountain area is okay, it looks desolate, it is the industry of a wealthy family, and it used to really do the salt business, but it didn't do it after the accident, and the transaction price was three thousand."

"It's expensive, but it's worth the money." Li Dexin said.

"Well, it's still up to you Uncle Fu, if you want to withdraw the money, you can withdraw it directly from the account office, close the deal as soon as possible, and hire some reliable people to dig it when you come back." Li Dedao.

"Without further ado, the old man will do it."

The account office spent 3,000 yuan, and the large expenditure still alarmed Zheng Shuxuan.

Li De had no choice but to go over and explain in person.

"Mother, here's the thing, let's process the salt and use it to make products and sell it again, the profit will be doubled, and then we will make more money at the smallest cost."

Li De began to instill the concept of making money in his mother, but Zheng Shuxuan didn't listen to it at all.

"De'er, my mother wants to know, you can really detoxify, people who eat salt really won't have an accident?" Zheng Shuxuan asked solemnly.

When Li De heard this, he returned to the original topic.

"Mother, what I said is true, the old Taoist in the mountains is very good, I really learned from him, I promise that I will be fine if I eat it, I have said the important thing a third time, please believe me."

Li De had to answer solemnly again.

"Okay, for my mother, believe in you, let Li Fu pay the money."

Zheng Shuxuan let go, and the matter was done.

After Li De went out, Zheng Shuxuan was worried, her eldest son was good at everything, he spent a lot of money, and it didn't take long to earn a few thousand yuan, and it cost three thousand yuan for a single decision.

Three thousand guan is a few years of income from the Li Mansion, and it is also a point of frugality.

"It's really embarrassing." Zheng Shuxuan muttered, but she made up her mind in her heart to keep her family's background.

Li Fu's work efficiency was very high, after the signing of the land deed sales contract, he paid the money to complete the transaction, and when he came back, he also went to the 'talent market' to buy more than a dozen young and strong laborers.

With the deed of sale in hand, they are the property of the Li family, and they are brought back to the house together.

Li De took the contract and woke up with a smile when he really dreamed, and his own mine suddenly turned into a local tyrant, at least for now, he already has the family background of a local tyrant, and what he does now is to wait and accumulate steadily.

The recruited labor force went directly to guard the mine under Li Fu's arrangement.

Li Fu arranged it very properly, mainly because in the case of insufficient manpower, You Junda and Liang Shitai were transferred to take charge.

You Junda mainly asked for the construction of the mine, buying timber and hiring craftsmen to build houses, warehouses and the like, making fences and the like.

Liang Shitai is simple, he is in charge of defense work, and he practices sledgehammer every day, and practicing in the courtyard of the Li Mansion is actually the same as practicing in the mine.

You Junda has a hand in running cottages, all kinds of procurement and construction, and in a few days, under the offensive of spending a lot of money, the construction of the mine is good.

I don't know if it's due to the limitations of experience, the development of mine construction is like a cottage, at least the structure and style are extremely similar.
