024 Catch a group of monks to open a mine
The crowd watched nervously as the miners were busy working, the hole digging deeper and deeper, and baskets of soil were constantly being brought out.
The miners were sweating, and so were the onlookers.
The prince sweated because he was really worried about whether there was charcoal here.
The abbot and the monks sweated because they were even more bottomless. The temple is close to the left, and they haven't moved their hoes at all, so how can they know what's underground?
Looking at Zong Shu's words, maybe this person has already come here to survey in advance, and even moved the ground.
If what Zong Shu said is true, and there is really charcoal here, then wouldn't the temple have to let it out?
The abbot suddenly regretted a little, how could he bet with this hippie smiling and unserious boy?
"I saw it, I saw it, there was a charcoal, there was really a charcoal!"
The miners who were digging inside shouted.
The abbot's eyes darkened, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
Prince Zhao Huan hurriedly ran towards the edge of the pit, and a big basket was hoisted up, black, and it was really charcoal.
The leading miner touched it with his hand and was shocked: "This is the best charcoal I have ever seen in my life!" ”
Yingluo and Zhuzhu also came over, and sure enough, this charcoal is really different, black and pure!
Zhao Huan was so excited that he slapped Zong Shu's shoulder: "Zong Shu, I really didn't mistake you!" You have done a great job, and in the future, you will be my servant. ”
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have no intention of being an official. My goal is to make money and enjoy life. Zong Shu hurriedly refused.
A servant, in fact, is a servant, where is this official?
As soon as you enter the Hou Gate, it is as deep as the sea, once you become a prince servant, you can't check in every day?
Without a little bit of freedom, this is not the life you want to live.
The prince didn't expect Zong Shu to refuse directly. The crown prince is the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, how many people want to get close but can't get it!
With such a good opportunity in front of him, Zong Shu actually didn't cherish it at all.
Father-in-law Wei originally thought that this kid didn't know which blessings he had cultivated in his life, and he could be named as a servant by the prince.
But in the blink of an eye, this kid easily threw away this opportunity and destroyed the heavens.
How to explain it, by the way, this guy is illiterate.
Zhao Huan obviously didn't expect Zong Shu to refuse, and he refused so simply.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I have admired you for a long time. But I think we have a very flexible strategic partnership. In terms of doing business, we contribute capital and technology, and you are responsible for providing resources and policies. Zong Shu said.
If you want to do business these days, you have to find a backer, and if the prince holds half of the shares, others will not dare to peep at all.
Zong Shu's proposal made the prince very moved. As the crown prince, he also doesn't have much financial power.
All his expenditures were also uniformly dispatched by the Inner Court.
In recent years, due to natural and man-made disasters, the imperial court's finances have been less in and out, and Huizong has taken the lead in living a hard life and reduced the amount of money several times.
In fact, as the crown prince, life is also tight.
Let's not talk about whether publishing Zong Shu's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will make money, he knows that this stone coal will definitely make money. Could it be that the Zong family will also give him half of the dry shares in this coal business?
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please take a step to speak." Zong Shu said.
The prince was puzzled and walked aside with Zong Shu.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the coal here is of high quality and has huge reserves. Our clan is responsible for mining, how about you take half of the dry shares, prince? Zong Shu said.
Zhao Huan was ecstatic in his heart, and he would be rich immediately. When he has money, he has the confidence, he dares to reward, and the people under him are more dedicated, and those who are talented will also come to defect.
Looking at the third prince Zhao Kai and the ninth prince Zhao Gou, with the support of Cai Jing and Tong Guan, it formed a serious threat to his status as the crown prince.
And he did not have the support of few decent ministers in the court.
With money, will this situation change?
Zhao Huan immediately agreed to Zong Shu's proposal.
After the discussion, the miners had already dug up a lot of coal. Zong Shu shouted: "Come out, this charcoal is enough, transport it back, and give it to Your Majesty." ”
At this time, the abbot of Huanghua Temple woke up, and the monks all stared at Zong Shu, eager to eat Zong Shu.
Especially the abbot, who had just woken up, and his eyes were still glancing at Yingluo and Zhuzhu's body.
Zong Shu was unhappy: "Don't be unconvinced, it's polite to let you go." If you don't know each other again, I will send you to exile! ”
This is a bit of a bully, and it makes people move out of the temple, which is called willing to gamble and lose. But to send them out and exile them is a bit excessive.
Zong Shu is just a white body, just because he came to such a trip with the prince, he trembled?
"Abbot, do you all have a disc, take it out and take a look?" Zong Shu asked.
In the Song Dynasty, because monks did not need to pay taxes and join the army, they were very popular. In order to avoid the proliferation of monks, the imperial court carried out strict control.
If you want to be a monk, you must first get a "degree plate" from the government.
If you don't have a degree, you can't be a monk yet, so you should first go to the monastery as a temporary worker, and at that time you were called a "walker", just like Wu Song.
Being an uprunner doesn't necessarily mean that you can't get a degree disc.
In such a remote place, there is such a big temple, and there are so many monks, more than the Great Xiangguo Temple in Bianliang!
It is very likely that these monks are a bunch of fake monks who do not have a "degree plate".
What is this called, yes, operating without a license!
The abbot was speechless, and the voices of the other monks gradually became smaller, and their hearts were empty!
"There is no degree disc, practice here? Either get out of here right now, or be a miner for me right here! As a miner, at least 10 taels of silver a month! If it is inappropriate, all the tattoos and distributions will be issued! ”
Zong Shu threatened as he took the burden from the donkey cart and shook it off, and the silver ingots of Bai Huahua fell to the ground.
Ten taels of silver a month, so much? Many monks began to discuss.
"Do you still need to think about it? If you are a miner, you can still live here, and in the future, you can drink wine and eat meat, what kind of fake monk are you?" Zong Shu said with a smile.
The abbot fainted again. After a monk helped the abbot to the ground, he raised his hand and said, "Poor monk, I, I want to be a miner."
"Okay, let's sign up voluntarily. If you want to be a miner, ask him to register. Zong Shu pointed at Zong Shen.
In a few moments, more than thirty monks turned into miners. As soon as Zong Shen asked, these people were actually people from the vicinity of Fang Yuan!
This is really a big surprise, and it solves the problem of mining personnel!
Of course, the bigger surprise was the discovery of the carboniferous, and it was the first in terms of quality and reserves!
Didn't my father always look down on himself as a prince? After he decided to go out with Zong Shu to find Shi Tan, how many people in the capital were ready to see his jokes!
But now, all doubts will be dispelled with the discovery of the carboniferous!
Zhao Huan immediately arranged for a little eunuch to be temporarily in charge here, and organized these monk workers to learn to dig coal. After the sect sent someone here to take charge, he would return to the palace to resume his life.
Everything was arranged, and everyone set off immediately, using a carriage to pull the coal back to Bianliang.
"Zong Shu, Zong Shu, how do you see that they are fake monks?" Yingluo remembered the question.
"Hehe, didn't you say that the aggregates are empty? This monk, from last night until now, has been staring at you and Zhuzhu in a daze! Of course it's an imposter! ”
"Imposter"! The prince immediately thought that someone had told him that Zong Shu had suspected that Tong Guan was an impostor.
Yingluo's face turned red, and he said lightly: "Zong Shu, you, you are a disciple!" ”
Zong Shu salivated, looked at Yingluo and said, "I never kick rabbits, I touch rabbits." The little white rabbit is white and white, with bulging eyes. ”
Yingluo: "......? ”
