After the establishment of the Heipigou Mining Company, the big households in the demarcated area rushed to join the charity, and if they didn't come, they would be broken down and pay the arrears of taxes, so the fool didn't come.

This is the reason why the traversers are trying their best to do Chenjiazhai: after making a prestige, the work of the masses will be easy to do. And these shareholders who were forced to join the mining company will soon find out that the so-called company shares are worth a lot of money!

There are coordinates of all the coal wells in the Longyan area. Of course, these coal mines, which were required to work underground in later generations, are hardly needed today: in the 17th century there were open-pit coal seedlings.

The newly established mining company will soon determine the location of several open-pit coal yards under the command of professional prospectors, and then a large number of high-quality tools, small tracks, small mining carts, and most importantly, black and n' oil will be brought downstream. When the open-pit coal mine is topped out, the company's earnings will soon be rolling up.

By this time, the Crossing Crowd had a large number of allies in the local area: after the shareholders earned grain and salt, they would naturally be dead set on the new company and support every policy of the Crossing Crowd.

The government will also benefit from this: not only will it be able to sell wasteland, but it will also be able to collect taxes from coal mines. In addition, the grain and rice that these bastards have accumulated over the years have also been settled: with the endorsement of the traversing public, the big households promised to repay 10 catties of arrears for every 100 catties of rice they received.

In short, everyone is happy, and a community of interests has been formed.

This pattern will continue to replicate in the vicinity. You know, there are not only coal mines, but also iron ore and high-quality limestone. Except for the gold and copper mines in Purple Mountain, which are temporarily "state-owned", the rest of the mineral deposits will be jointly developed by indigenous people in the future.

If this development continues, Longyan will become more and more prosperous in the future, and there will be more and more outsiders: relying on the resources of the local aborigines, they will not be able to support so many mining companies.

Through the congregation, the association guided a large number of wealthy businessmen from Zhangzhou and Xiamen to enter this mountainous and impoverished county, pooling their resources into a mining company, and by the way, the nearby mountain people were gathered and packed, and what should be transported away was carried away, urbanization, that's how it is.

Half a month after coming to Longyan, the civil and military team headed by Ding Liqiu and Wei Yuan finally set up the framework of several companies and gathered a group of local interest groups through various means of both soft and hard.

At this time, the outsiders can be regarded as having a preliminary mass base and can carry out the next step of work.

The county seat, Qiao's restaurant, Accord. Ding Liqiu was feasting, and the person who came was Bo Wang Yuanzai, the county government owner.

Wang Yuanzai is a local, born as a small official, more than 40 years old, with a thin face, a lock of goatee, a very good look, and a very good dress.

After Wang Zhubo's troops came to Longyan, whether it was the requisition and conscription or the contract procedures of the BNN Mining Company, it can be said that he did his best, and he was a model of the indigenous army that actively moved closer to the organization, vigorously assisted, and supported the work of crossing the people.

"In those previous things, Mr. Wang worked tirelessly, ran hard, and borrowed these glasses of water and wine today for the words Shi Ding Liqiu gave himself, and thanked Mr. here."

"Where is it, your ministry will not disturb the people when you come to Longyan, and secondly, it will not cause trouble, but to build bridges and pave roads for the benefit of the township, these Wang Mou are all in his eyes." After smiling Lord Wang picked up the wine glass with both hands and touched a glass with Ding Liqiu, he put down the glass and continued: "Although Wang is a small official, he is also a local, so he is naturally willing to contribute to such a good thing. ”

"Well, it's good for both public and private." After Ding Liqiu took a five-step snake simmering tiger whip, he said while eating: "There will be more and more new mines, and now this little filial piety is nothing." Dong Daxing's gang are all old businessmen, and they all know the rules, and all the masters in the county will have a prosperous family business in the future. ”

"Haha, then Wang will borrow Mr. Ding's auspicious words!" After speaking, the two of them drank two more glasses happily.

After three rounds of drinking, Ding Liqiu began to bring the topic to business: "I don't know what Mr. Wang thinks about this crackdown on banditry?" ”

"Alas, Mr. Don't hide it, the people of Hexian County have been suffering from bandits for a long time" Wang Yuanzai's face sank at this time: "Longyan has been plagued by bandits since ancient times, and the people of Li do not know how many people have suffered from it. Mr. Bu said that my nephew was kidnapped by robbers ten years ago, and when he was redeemed, he was already a corpse. ”

"It is a very happy thing for the noble people to want to eliminate the harm for Longyan." When Wang Yuanzai said this, his eyes were slightly red, and then his expression became hard again: "Wang is not talented, this time I would like to be driven by Mr., but if I have a trust, I will not disappoint Mr." ”

"Good, good! It's the words of the dude. Ding Liqiu was overjoyed when he heard this: "Now our department has been in Longyan for more than half a month, but there has been no progress in suppressing bandits. Why? What is lacking is an old land like Brother Wang, who is familiar with the county situation! ”

Speaking of this, Ding Liqiu bowed down and whispered to Wang Yuanzai: "Don't hide it from my brother, my general has urged this many times, and the general boasted about Haikou in front of the governor boss." ”

When Wang Yuanzai heard this, he couldn't help but worry about Ding Liqiu: "In this case, then you have to hurry." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" Ding Liqiu will be a little annoyed: "The general has already ordered that a gang of bandits must be destroyed no matter what happens before the end of the month." Alas, I have had to collect news of the bandits everywhere for the past two days, and I can't stop it. ”

"Oh, Wang also has some news of bandits here, so let's talk about Mr. Yu."

"Okay, well, I'm listening to you."

Capture the thief and capture the king first. Crossing the crowd to come here to suppress the bandits, it is natural to pick the strong and famous bandits, and the strongest people in this vicinity are currently two groups.

The most vocal is the Lin 100,000 bandits.

Lin Shiwan is a local double ocean. He was cunning and treacherous, and led the crowd to occupy the area of Tsushimaling in Shuangyang Town, Shuangyang Town, in the north of Longyan County, and had more than 400 standing guards under his command, and his reputation spread far and wide, and he was the great enemy of merchants and local villagers.

The other is the soldiers and horses of Yantou Village. Yantou Village is located in the southwest of the county, and the name of the head is Ma Shixia. It is rumored that this person was born in the border army, martial arts, and is good at using a nine-ring broadsword, with 200 brothers under his command.

These two gangs are basically the most powerful gangsters in the region.

After listening to Wang Zhubo's introduction, Ding Liqiu was not surprised: these are basically public information, and there is not much difference from what he already knows.

But then Lao Wang gave him a surprise: Lao Wang's mother-in-law has a nephew named Su Tiegun, who was imprisoned for missing in the early years, and later Lao Wang hit up and down, and after settling the bitter master, the cycad gun was able to escape the scourge of killing.

After being released from prison, because all the family property was filled into the yamen, the cycad gun turned around and joined the bandit gang of Lin 100,000. Recently, due to his injuries, he happened to go home and become a home bandit.

Wang Zhubo's method is very simple: he, the life-saving benefactor, will come forward to plot against the cycad gun, so that the traversing crowd will have an internal response in the 100,000 bandits in Lin.
