Fang Jifan didn't want mines, right.

Because at the moment, this mine was given to Fang Jifan for nothing.

If these mineral deposits need to be developed, it is necessary to let the imperial court allow a large number of immigrants to go to Hexi, in this era, under normal circumstances, if you do not get the permission of the local officials, that is, there is no way, it is not allowed to migrate casually, once you move without permission, you are a wanderer.

Not only that, the Hexi Corridor is still in the hands of the Tatars, and if you want mines, you have to station more soldiers and horses on the front line of Lanzhou, so as to deter the Tatars.

Of course, because this mine is mostly in the mountains, although the Tatars occasionally come to herd horses, they do not dare to rush up the mountain, after all, their greatest advantage is in horse archery, once this advantage is lost, everything is in vain.

All in all, if you want this wealth, you must use the power of the imperial court and the town government, and you need to mobilize many people.

Such a huge wealth is by no means a single person who can eat alone.

In the Zhenguo Mansion, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao formulated a plan for mining minerals, firstly, to allow a large number of people to go to Hexi, and secondly, to send a team of flying teams to be stationed in Lanzhou, in short, they must ensure that they can be vacated and reconnoitred at any time.

On the one hand, it is to prevent a large-scale Tatar sneak attack, which can make the migrants take precautions in advance.

On the other hand, this flying ball has given the Tatars enough terrifying memories, it is said that the flying ball has become some kind of evil ghost in the minds of the Tatars, and from time to time there are flying balls in the sky, which is enough to make the nearby nomadic Tatars frightened, and even flee in the wilderness.

At the moment, it is the people who have come to the homeless, and in addition, there is also the support of the government and the opposition.

…………

Zhang Sheng returned to the mansion in despair, the sky was very dark, and he came back in a sedan chair all the way, his heart was desperate.

Ancestral family business...... It's gone.

Regret it now...... It doesn't seem to be useful.

To be honest, he was on duty in the Ministry of Rites today, and he didn't have the slightest thought.

I have been promoted to an official for 30 years, and I have been praised both inside and outside the government, but today, why did I fall into this situation?

Zhang Sheng thought of this and wanted to cry.

wiped the tears from his eyes, got off the sedan chair, and looked at his big house......

is very reluctant, the field is going to be gone, is this big house going to be sold? Keep it, how can you afford such a mansion by relying on the old man's money alone?

So, Zhang Sheng came from the heart again.

The porter stepped forward: "Master, there is a guest, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and I am ...... in the hall."

"Guest...... People ......" Zhang Sheng frowned: "Who is it?" ”

"It's the captain of the horse, the captain is really kind, and he has prepared Lilly, saying that he has admired the name of the lord for a long time, and you are really amazing, even the captain of the horse has admired you for a long time."

“……”

Zhang Sheng's body was trembling, his eyes opened violently, and his eyes were suddenly congested, and without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and slapped the porter: "I have been looking up to you for a long time in the house!" ”

In a hurry, Nancheng's hometown directly burst out, and directly knocked the jubilant porter to the ground.

"Huh." The porter wailed.

Zhang Sheng had already strode into the house and quickly entered the house.

………………

In the hall of the Zhang family.

Fang Jifan sat on the seat, someone had already poured him tea, and the Zhang family was still very attentive to the arrival of the Captain of the Horse.

Fang Jifan was greeted by Zhang Sheng's son Zhang Yuanxi, Zhang Yuanxi actually broke his leg, his difficult arms came on crutches, limping, no way, the female relatives of the Zhang family could not see guests, and Fang Jifan was a very important guest, this mansion, except for Zhang Sheng, could only be received by his son Zhang Yuanxi.

Fang Jifan never expected that Zhang Sheng's son was a cripple, seeing that he was working extremely crutches, he looked at Fang Jifan with a look of shame: "Duwei, it's really funny, students have a lot of inconvenience, eat tea, eat tea." ”

"Ahh......h yes, yes. Fang Jifan was busy bowing his head and drinking tea: "Brother Zhang Shige is old, can he be famous?" ”

Zhang Yuanxi smiled bitterly: "Five out of twenty, eh, I study at home all day long, but you also know that what is the use of fame as a student?" ”

Fang Jifan shook his head: "Don't say that, you see that I am in Xishan Academy, teaching some disciples and grandchildren who are not successful, these people are all crooked melons and cracked dates, and few of them are useful, but now, aren't they all talented?" ”

Fang Jifan wanted to say that it can be seen that even if it is scum, there is also the possibility of waste utilization.

Naturally, Fang Jifan didn't say these words, after all, he was his own protégé disciple, and my Fang Jifan was a kind person, so save some face for them.

Zhang Yuanxi only smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

Fang Jifan asked again: "What else do you do besides studying at home?" ”

Zhang Yuanxi said politely: "Only on crutches, walk around in the back garden at home." ”

Fang Jifan sighed.

But at this time, Zhang Sheng came in in a hurry, his face was full of anger, and when he saw that his son was also there, he sighed in his heart, it was broken.

"Father." Zhang Yuanxi smiled and struggled to stand up with his crutches: "This is Fang Duwei, Fang Duwei specially came to visit his father." ”

Zhang Sheng's body trembled, but his son was here, although he glared at Fang Jifan viciously, he was just panting, but he had no impulse.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Zhang Butang, waiting for you is so bitter, your tea is so delicious, I chatted with Brother Zhang Xian for a while, Brother Zhang Xian's knowledge is very good, very admirable." ”

"Talk, what did you talk about?" Zhang Sheng said nervously.

Zhang Yuanxi was a little surprised.

Zhang Sheng seemed to have sensed something, he didn't want his son to know about the intrigue outside, so he tried hard to suppress his anger and barely squeezed out some smiles: "Oh, Captain Fang, it's hard to work, it's rare for you to come to visit." Yuan Xi, you go out for a walk, the old man and Fang Duwei, there is something I want to say. ”

Zhang Yuanxi glanced at Fang Jifan apologetically, and said to Zhang Sheng: "Yes." ”

And he limped out with a rod.

As soon as he saw Zhang Yuanxi leaving, Zhang Sheng stepped forward angrily: "Fang Jifan, you deceive people too much, what else do you want to do, you still want to threaten the old man's family......"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited." Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "I can't think of Brother Zhang Xian, who is disabled and strong, it's really not easy, Zhang Butang...... Don't stare at me like that, it's a guest, and if you do this again, I'm going to shout. ”

"......" Zhang Shengtie blushed and snorted coldly.

Fang Jifan sighed: "Zhang Butang, this land is what you want to donate, how can you do the opposite, just like I hurt you, my Jifan also donated the mine, do I have anything to say?" ”

"I ...... I ......" Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth: "This is the old man's ancestral business, it is handed down by the ancestors, the old man has no greed in his life, the court is so rich, the old man has a large family to support, if one day, if the old man is gone, what should Yuan Xi do?" He can't be an official, he can't go out of the door, he can't step out of the second door, who will support him in this life? ”

Fang Jifan said: "Although he has no feet, he has hands." ”

Zhang Sheng began to look around for knives, if you don't kill you Fang Jifan, I Zhang Sheng really don't believe it.

Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Don't get excited, just kidding, just kidding, but seriously, it's not a good thing that Ling Zicheng is locked up here, my Jifan is more upright...... Okay, let's get straight to the point, I'm here this time to send something to Zhang Butang. ”

After that, he took out a contract from his sleeve: "Zhang Butang donated the land, which is very admirable, so His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I discussed, I can't let Zhang Butang suffer in vain, Zhenguofu Mining, about to be established, in the future, will be in the entire Hexi, wantonly search for minerals, mining and excavation, therefore, this mining is divided into 100,000 shares, Zhenguofu exclusively owns fifty percent, that is, fifty thousand shares, the rest, each family subscribed, our Jifan took 200,000 taels of silver, bought 20,000 shares, here, is 10,000 shares, less is less, However, this is the land donated by Zhang Butang, subscribed, from now on, this town of Guofu Mining, how much profit every year, will be divided into 100,000 shares, the interests of this thousand shares, on time, Zhang Butang, don't underestimate it, if the business is smooth, this year, thousands of taels of silver is definitely there, if the business is good, it is tens of thousands of taels of silver, this ...... It's much higher than the little crops grown in Zhang Butang's 10,000 acres of land. ”

“……”

Zhang Sheng was stunned for a moment, but he was speechless.

Fang Jifan sighed with emotion: "You have to take this thing, and you will receive dividends in the future, and you have to rely on this ......."

"I'm ......" Zhang Sheng's old face flushed and looked at Fang Jifan.

This is equivalent to saying that Fang Jifan also took some benefits from the mine?

It's only a thousand shares, but it's a mine, it's digging for gold, silver, and copper.

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but say, "Guaranteed...... Can you earn money? ”

Fang Jifan shook his head: "No guarantee." ”

“……”

Fang Jifan said: "Everything is under the premise of smooth operation, if the transaction is broken, such as being attacked by the Tatars, or there are no displaced people willing to go to Hexi to mine, or if there are any natural and man-made disasters, then it will be over, this contract is a piece of waste paper, because there is no profit." ”

What kind of person Zhang Sheng is, he understood what was going on when he heard it: "It's really for the old man." ”

"Of course." Fang Jifan said awe-inspiringly: "Zhang Butang doesn't want to think about it, what kind of person my Jifan is, I, the most trustworthy, you go outside to inquire." ”

“……”

Zhang Sheng was silent.

After a long time, he said, "Actually...... The old man inquired. ”

I inquired, and I still have such an expression......

Fang Jifan was a little embarrassed: "This ...... In fact...... I sometimes offend some dark forces, they always spread rumors and trample on my reputation, so sometimes, if I inquire about the news, I may not be able to count, if you want to know the truth, you have to go to Xishan to inquire before it counts. Elsewhere, not allowed. ”
