Xu Tiezhu and Zhou Cheng's eyes suddenly widened wider than the copper bell, their mouths opened wide, but they couldn't even make a sound, looking at the wisps of sand leaking out stupidly, as if they were blinded by the flickering golden light in it, they froze in place, maintaining a bent posture, and did not move.

Wang Huan held an hourglass light in his hand, straightened up and looked at the two with a smile, and didn't speak, just waited quietly.

There was silence in the conference hall, and a strange atmosphere arose, whether it was Xu Tiezhu and Zhou Cheng who were standing, or the leaders who were sitting and watching, they all had an indescribable expression of shock, staring at the cloth bag in the back basket, the wolf-like gaze, as if seeing an old bachelor who was naked like a flower, almost bursting into flames.

After a long time, Xu Tiezhu licked his lips and gasped: "Big, my lord, this golden sand, is it produced by my stone pillar?" ”

Wang Huan turned back to his circle chair, sat down leisurely, took a sip of tea, and smacked his mouth: "Of course it is." ”

The heads of the people lit up and became excited, and they were all eagerly thinking in their hearts, whether this golden sand was found in their own territory, if so, then they would send it themselves, what is Ma Chongming's silver mine, with Jinshan, who would care about Yinshan.

However, Wang Huan immediately poured a basin of cold water on everyone, pouring it cold: "But this golden sand is just for you to see, happy and happy, but it can't be mined now, and I can't even tell you the place." ”

Everyone was stunned, and then unwilling, watching the gold turn into water is something that no one wants to do, the hall suddenly exploded, everyone spoke one after another, saying everything, some people said that all kinds of things in Wanshou Valley are made of money, and they must open up the way of wealth; Some people say that the stone pillars are poor and need a large sum of gold and silver to rebuild the majesty; Some people simply pointed out that there is gold and silver, and there is a strong capital in this troubled world, and when the time comes, you can do whatever you want.

Everyone gossiped and talked for a long time, and the central idea was to try to make Wang Huan dispel the stupid idea of not picking up money, take everyone to make a fortune together, and embark on the road of being well-off from then on.

Wang Huan listened quietly, holding the teacup and smiling without speaking, listening for a while and taking a sip of tea, like a spectator listening to cross talk.

When everyone said that they were tired, and they realized that they had been talking for a long time, they didn't make any noise, the hall was quiet, and their eyes were all on Wang Huan, the young and old city lord of Wanshou slowly put down the teacup and asked a few words.

"Silver mining has not been a month, and it has attracted Zeng Ying of Chongqing Mansion, a generation of tigers and wolves, if you open a gold sand mine again, think about it, what will it be attracted?"

"The wolf is coming, the lion is coming, they are all ruthless characters who eat people and don't spit out bones, how can we resist it? How much combat power do you have in your hands? A hundred or two hundred? ”

"Under the current circumstances, going to open a gold mine is equivalent to wearing a brocade and carrying jade, and walking in the land of ring thieves at night, except for being robbed by someone, people dying and dying, there is no other result, do you want to do this?"

As soon as everyone heard it, after thinking about it, cold sweat broke out on their bodies, yes, although the stone pillar is remote, it is not a place that cannot be entered, Zhang Xianzhong did not come to move the stone pillar before, not that he could not move, but he was unwilling to move, poor and barbaric wasteland, what to do? But if the gold and silver mines are opened, the situation will be different, and a large army will be sent to attack the gold and silver, and the white pole soldiers will be left with an empty shelf, can they stop others?

"And the Tubaozhai silver mine has a lot of harvest, enough for our daily use, this gold mine, just keep it for the time being, and when the time is ripe in the future, we will mine it again, anyway, except for my Wanshou City, no one knows where the veins are." Wang Huan said indifferently.

Xu Tiezhu and the others listened, and when they thought about it, they understood everything, and after thinking about it, the Lord of Enlightenment King was really far-sighted, thoughtful and thorough, looked at Wang Huan's gaze, admired it even more, and bowed down together and said: "What the Lord said is extremely true, I am abrupt." ”

Wang Huan smiled, took out a folding fan from the back of his buttocks, stretched it out with one hand, fanned the wind and made an unfathomable shape, sitting upright like Zhuge reincarnating, seeing that the people were almost stunned, and a few of them reacted quickly, and immediately served them like a tide.

"Your Excellency is clever!"

"Wisdom of the Lord!"

"Adult ......"

"That's it!" Wang Huan stopped the wave of flattery, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I invite everyone to come back, just to discuss the matter of the mineral adoption in your territory, there are thousands of things, time is urgent, and we can't afford to delay, so let's start." ”

The leaders cheered up when they heard the sound, knowing that business was coming, and mining and extracting stones were closely related to their own vital interests, so they had to seriously consider it.

The negotiation process was very smooth, after all, there was a precedent for the Tubaozhai silver mine, just draw the gourd as it was, and within one day, Wang Huan signed a contract with the heads of the people, and signed it.

For all mines, the local chiefs were responsible for opening the mountains and building roads, and building a sidewalk large enough for horse-drawn carriages to pass through the official road to Wanshou Valley to facilitate the transportation of ore. At the same time, in the place close to the mine, build a grass hut for the miners to live and live, the output of the first year, Wang Huan does not need to draw any fees, the ore obtained by the mine is unconditionally provided to Wanshou City for use, a year later, according to the seasonal price of the pound sold to Wang Huan, but not sold to anyone other than Wang Huan, otherwise the consolation envoy will be severely punished.

The safety and security of the mine is also the responsibility of the leaders, except for the transportation team sent by Wang Huan, the ore can be pulled away, and other idle people are not waiting to approach the mine, and the violators will be dealt with as scouts.

This treaty is unfair to the extreme, and the leaders have been squeezed to blood, but compared to the hard life of guarding the barren mountains before, it is much better, after all, no one cared about these ores before, and no one wanted them to rot in the mountains, and the silver mines in the Tubao Village were also such a rule, and the leaders all happily signed and pressed their handprints, and there was no sense of being deceived at all.

Wang Huan, who deceived people and asked people to help them count the money, dried the ink of the contracts and carefully handed them over to Zhou Cheng to put away, laughed proudly, looked at Xu Tiezhu and said, "The mine said that it is ready, the miners are ready?" ”

Xu Tiezhu hurriedly said: "According to your instructions when you left, the six battalion heads composed of 6,000 people are ready to enter the mountain at any time. Drain these people, there are nearly 10,000 people left in Wanshou Valley, and the construction of the city will not be delayed. ”

Wang Huan was overjoyed: "Okay, the six camps are divided into five mines, lime mines, pyrite, saltpeter mines, asbestos mines and iron mines. ”

Xu Tiezhu calculated and said strangely: "Six camps and five mines, one more." ”

Wang Huan sighed, and said with some pain: "The extra camp head is used to raise pigs, I have already instructed Ma Chongming, when I come back from transporting grain this time, I will buy a thousand fat pigs and breeding pigs, alas, it will cost me a lot of silver." ”

Xu Tiezhu and Zhou Cheng were stunned, a thousand people came to raise pigs? Is this to improve the food for everyone? Lord Wang Huan is so generous, and he deserves the reputation of a great benevolent person.

Wang Huan had a bitter face, walked out with steps, and muttered to himself as he walked: "The price of a pig is enough for Lao Tzu to buy ten buckets of grain, why is the meat so expensive in these years?" If it weren't for the urgency, I wouldn't have cheapened those boys. ”

His voice was very low, only he could hear it, and Xu Tiezhu and the others behind him couldn't hear it at all, only to feel that Lord Wang's steady steps, tall figure, and image of loving the people like a son suddenly penetrated into the hearts of the people.

The news that Lord Wang wants to give meat to the big guys, like the autumn breeze on the grassland, quickly disperses to all directions, and people are working more happily, and they all praise it, it is really pleasant to live under Lord Wang, Lord Wang is really a living Bodhisattva, even if he dies for him, he is willing.

Wang Huan didn't know that his unintentional actions had such an effect, and at this moment, he was concentrating on another thing.

In the tall official office of Wanshou City, there is a large square with a length and width of dozens of zhang, which is used to perform martial arts, at this time, in the middle of the square, but built an earthen stove, like a brick kiln-like shape, and on the other side near the edge of the square, a circular forbidden land is drawn, others can not approach, Wang Huan took a few people, and laid a layer of dry firewood in it.
