Zhao Yue asked his father to wait for these water masters to become familiar with Zhao Zhuang, adapt to the rules, and after training, arrange a group of Li Jun, Tong Wei, Tong Meng and others; a group of Zhang Shun brothers; Ruan Jia Sanxiong and other groups were temporarily incorporated into the maritime escort trade, learning from Wu Xinyue and Zhejiang Silong, etc., and at the same time euphemistically warning the unruly Four Dragons, the world can produce many people, not that there are no masters to replace Er, etc., cherish everything.

Immediately, Zhao Yue went south again to find another group of Liangshan heroes.

Sent the accompanying monk Li Kui and the too young Wang Dingliu to Liangshan with the cargo ship first, and wrote to Liangshan to tell Liangshan to guard Deng Fei to treat Li Kui and Wang Dingliu well, continue to strengthen their martial arts, and integrate them into Ou Peng, Ma Lin, and the Diao brothers who stayed in Liangshan to organize 500 amphibious troops to guard the mountain and escort goods.

He took the second guard by himself, and Xiao Liu Tong, who was going to follow him this time, got off the boat in Dengzhou.

Dengzhou City, the easternmost state capital of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

The Yanwei area is still a desolate coastal area in the current Great Song Dynasty, with dense forests, wild grasslands, and barren beaches, and many jackals, tigers and leopards as a problem, and a sparse population. In addition, many young fishermen and good men were recruited by Zhaozhuang, and the seaside was even more desolate.

The big river flowing through Dengzhou is feasible for pointed bottom sea boats in the estuary section, and the nearby wharf is stationed with the Dengzhou Navy Division of the Song Army, which connects the old road washed out by the Yellow River to the west, communicates the Mihe River and other rivers, turns around, and finally communicates with Liangshanbo, but the passage is not a big boat.

In this year, the water control project was slag, and when it rained, the river flooded.

So apart from the bustling market area of the wharf, there are few homes near the banks of the river. Next to the path, the forest is full of reeds and weeds, and it is really a good wilderness for cutting paths.

Zhao Yue slowly observed the terrain with the excited milk brother in his eyes, and asked Lu Tiexi to further improve the map of the area, and then went straight to the location of the mother insect Gu's sister-in-law - ten miles outside the east gate of Dengzhou City.

Sun Xin and Gu's sister-in-law opened a hotel, relying on their brother Sun Li to be a military attache in the city, and they had martial arts, and their families secretly killed cattle and gambled. The hotel is very lively and crowded. Looks like business is good.

At the meeting, Zhao Yue identified himself.

Sun Xin is more enthusiastic. Sister-in-law Gu was polite with a smile on her face, but she was really cold. Even the Jurchen barbarian Lu Tieniu, who is emotionally sluggish, feels that the little master is not popular with the hostess.

Zhao Yue has always wondered why these people are really good men who are unwilling to take refuge.

Chai Jin is a flood of people from the rivers and lakes, but most of them are scum heroes who cheat to eat, drink and cheat money. Over the years, except for Sheng Ben and Cao Hong, there is no real ability.

After being given a cold reception here, Zhao Yue finally got his senses.

The heroes of the grassroots faction are fed up with the anger of bureaucrats and evil officials, and they dislike and disdain the official eunuchs from the bottom of their hearts. A wealthy businessman like Cangzhao with a deep official background is really a good man who is unwilling to take refuge.

There is a case in his body, those who absconded to avoid trouble, avoided the powerful and wealthy businessmen, and did not dare to vote for Zhao Zhuang, and he was forced to do so, even if he voted for Chai Jin, who had the backers of the government and had nothing to do with the government, he would not choose the Zhao family.

Most of these people are evil scoundrels with bad conduct, lazy and lazy, and Zhao Zhuang will not want them.

People have a good life, and they have brothers as officials, so they naturally won't rebel.

Zhao Yue's mentality is correct, and he will not reveal the slightest intention of soliciting, so it is good to wait for you to force Liangshan.

However, he will not let go of another pair of heroes: Zou Yuan, the dragon of the forest, and the uncle and nephew of Zou Run, the unicorn dragon.

Because the family bought a large piece of wasteland in the Longkou coal mine area in later generations, they have besieged the city and established a residential area, and began to mine coal to supply steam engines, coking and steelmaking, and supply Taiwan's industrial power in the future. And built the Longkou Port cargo wharf.

Zhao Yue knew that there was such a coal mine in his previous life, but he didn't know exactly where the Longkou mining area was, so he sent trained prospectors to inquire and explore.

In areas where there is coal, the geological structure is limited, and there are few large trees with deep roots, and grass may not be lush.

Zhao Yue said to the prospectors: "Just that place, look at the wasteland, and there may be coal under the ground where there are no trees." You focus on digging. Measure it, set the site, and then report it to the local government to buy it. ”

That's how the rare earth mine at home came from.

This is one of the benefits of letting the eldest brother sneak into the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty.

Without this background, no matter how rich and armed Cangzhao is, he can't even think of occupying the land and finding a coal mine.

Making a fortune is the most fanatical thing for officials.

You, a rich man who has no power to support you, dare to compete with our officials for profit? Within the scope of our power, everything is up to our officials, and you can't buy land.

Defy?

Let you go bankrupt in minutes, and you won't know each other again, let you experience life in prison, and understand how to be a person.

With Zhao Lian standing by the emperor's side, as soon as these officials in Dengzhou saw the Zhao family coming to do business, even if they didn't want to see him in their hearts, they didn't dare to make things difficult. Besides, those who want to shoot Zhao Xiaoxiangye's ass are definitely most of the important people.

Usually want to visit Wen Chengbo, but I can't get my turn, and no matter how big the gift is, I'm afraid that I won't have a chance to enter the door.

If you don't understand this, you can't catch it, don't be an official, just go home and cool down, save yourself from the disaster of no reason, lose your official position and dismiss the ministry, and the wilderness on the edge of exile has become a bird eating wolf dung, a lonely soul and a wild ghost, and you are still confused, then it is called wrongdoing.

In this kind of thing, Qing officials and ministers will not say that minerals belong to the state, so they will firmly obstruct the destruction.

Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing parents. That's not the point.

The key point is that this is the same as the sacrosanctity and inviolability of the power and dignity of the scholar class, which is another iron law of officialdom: when you are an official and serve the country, you must also make profits for your family and enjoy yourself. Otherwise, do you study hard and work hard to be an official?

This is the main reason why officials protect each other.

If you don't do it, that's your business. If this article is violated, it will definitely be spurned by the entire officialdom. No matter how loyal and patriotic you are, no matter how talented you are, no matter how good you are, it will be difficult for you to move an inch in the officialdom.

The Zhao family treats those who provoke the enemy harshly, but the people in charge of affairs in various places never treat people badly. The government is happy, thoughtful, and actively cooperative, and has its own rewards.

What, those vicious prisoners in the prison are also consuming food in vain, squandering state property, and consuming valuable public power, I will help you solve your troubles, and they will all be sent to mine and eat us. The money and food saved belong to you, and you are counted as a share.

You see that the hooligans and ruffians on the streets are all strong, but they do not produce, consume social resources, and destroy the good situation of social harmony, stability and tranquility, and then look at their crooked hats, open chests and belly, and evil skin upside down, seriously damaging the glorious image of our Great Song Dynasty, do you also get to do their duty, labor reform, purify society, and contribute to the prosperity of our Great Song Dynasty?

High-priced acquisition. If you have the right, just grab it and send it. Together, everyone made a fortune from this mine.

Of course, the officials were happy to do so, and they said one after another: Things that are beneficial to the society, the people, and the Great Song Dynasty must be supported.

Zhao Yue had often dealt with various minerals in his previous life, and he also understood the horrors of mining.

This life is for the dead.

Even in the 21st century, three deaths per 100 tons in large coal mines is not out of the ordinary. Not to mention the current era of extreme backwardness.

Mining is all about exchanging human lives.

Zhao Yue was hard-hearted, but he was reluctant to die to the decent people, so he used scum to waste. Those wronged prisoners and evil officials who have captured a full amount of displaced people and beggars for money can also take the opportunity to get out and become normal workers.

As soon as Zhao Yue thought of those ruffians in the nightmare, he hated it so much that his teeth itched, and he couldn't get better if he changed to an adult.

Therefore, the family ordered business stations in various places to kidnap and abduct men and women in Shandong and Hebei, including unscrupulous monks and Taoist poisonous women, who could not be miners, and could do laundry, cook and prostitutes

These scum villains are violently guarded, live in a collective in a bunker, perform well in the mines, have meat to eat, sleep with women, are not good, crooked or run away, and some have means to make them honest.

When the surrounding villagers come to work, it is easy to arrange, or at least not dangerous, so that the neighbors can live better, slowly attract conversions, and be the backup of immigrants, and they can also get support and cover here.

In this way, it is necessary to have a fierce and familiar with the local situation, a simple background, and a reliable and righteous private strongman to help manage it. In Zhao Yue's heart, the uncle and nephew of the Zou family are the best candidates.

These two people don't have great skills, and their brains are not smart enough, Liangshan is a good man, take care of them, try to train them to be mine managers, do a good job, and through this experience, they can be promoted to important positions in the Ministry of Mineral Resources in the future.

Zou Yuan, Zou Run has no brothers and relatives to be officials as backers, and he feels that he is a well-known hero, but unfortunately he has no place to use it, and he can't make money to fill his stomach, so he can only bring a dozen brothers to fool around.

Zhao Yue sent such a good opportunity to the door, how could they not want to.

Gu's sister-in-law didn't wait to see Zhao Yue, but Sun Li, who was an official, was enthusiastic.

Zhao Yue was a little curious about this good man in the Liangshan Group, whose ability and status were extremely incommensurate.

But soon, he understood that this person was conceited and keen on officialdom fame and fortune, and Sun Xin, who was duty-bound, was completely different from him, with officialdom vices, not so righteous and unreliable.

At this point, Zhao Yue had to admire Song Jiang's ability to recognize and employ people.

It is really a heroic posture to be able to bring together all kinds of characters with different minds, twist them into a rope, and fight against one enemy after another.
