The next day, Master Yu invited Wang Haoran and them to the hall, and in addition to them, there were five other masters in the hall. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Wang Haoran thought that they were going to see him off, but when he saw that everyone present looked serious, he asked carefully: "I don't know what happened to the people in charge calling the boy over?" ”

The big boss gestured to Master Yu to explain to Wang Haoran.

"Wang Gongzi, I just discussed one thing with all of you, your family is rich, we are thinking if we can make a big deal with your Wang family?" Master Yu asked.

"What's that deal?" Doing business with robbers? Wang Haoran didn't dare to think about it, and he couldn't think of anything good.

"Maybe our identity as a robber will make the prince have some scruples, in fact, we have no choice but to embark on this road." Master Yu said slowly, "We were all mining workers, poor people from all over the world, and many of us fled because of famine to become miners to earn some food. However, last year, the imperial court completely banned private iron casting, which made it more and more difficult for the proprietor to do business, and finally the proprietor simply gave up the mining business here, and we people had no source of income as a result. We have no other way to make ends meet by chopping firewood and catching wild animals to sell to buy food. Unfortunately, not long after, there was a drought, and the price of food rose beyond the reach of us poor people. Many of us are dragging our families, and there are also many elderly and children, and seeing that they are about to starve to death, we have no choice but to embark on the road of robbery. ”

"Didn't the imperial court distribute relief food?" Wang Haoran interjected and asked.

"What's the use of having it?" Master Yu shook his head and said, "The imperial court sends grain according to the household registration, and we people come from all over the world, how can we have any household registration?" Even if there were, it was not a local hukou, and there was no way to receive relief food. ”

didn't expect these robbers to have such a sad story, Wang Haoran and Zeng Chengyong also felt sad.

"We are all good people, and it is not our wish to rob houses and houses, and there are many people who would rather starve to death than eat the food they robbed......" Saying this, Master Yu turned his gaze to the big boss, and when he saw that the big boss had tears in his eyes, he motioned for him to continue, so he continued, "But the food that can be eaten nearby has already been eaten, and there is no way to find more food for so many people to eat, and a few of them starved to death because of this, including our father of the big boss." ”

Master Yu eased his emotions and continued: "Uncle Chang warned us on his deathbed that we must return to the right path in the future, and we have been looking for opportunities. Now that you are here, the Wang family in the capital has a great business, so we hope that the Wang family can take over this mine, so that we people can have a way to live. ”

"And what kind of mine is being dug here?"

"Uh...... Iron ore. Master Yu replied, "This mine originally belonged to the Yang family in Luozhou, if the Wang family wants to take over, the Yang family will definitely be willing." ”

"Is there anything else you have to say?" After listening to what Master Yu said, Wang Haoran felt that something was wrong, how could all these masters be so serious when they entered the door just now, if this was just the case, they would never have such an expression.

Master Yu and the others were shocked, they didn't expect this teenage child to be so sophisticated.

"There's one more thing, indeed." Master Yu smiled embarrassedly, "Not long ago, we accidentally discovered another mine, the reserves are so large, it is really rare, this is the big deal I just said." ”

"Oh! How big is that? "Wang Haoran is interested. The iron mine that the Yang family was willing to give up before must be small in scale, and I don't know how big the new discovery will be.

"I can't finish digging in one or two hundred years!" Master Yu replied, worried that if he said how large the area of this mine was, Wang Haoran would have no idea.

"I wonder if you can take the kid to see it?" Wang Haoran has been tempted to develop into the industrial age in the future, and minerals are indispensable.

Master Yu didn't dare to call the shots in this matter, so he had to look at the big boss and let him make a decision.

"Okay, let's go together, we can still trust Wang Gongzi." The big boss hesitated for a moment before he made up his mind to respond, he was also helpless, except for Wang Haoran, he couldn't find a more credible person.

Everyone took Wang Haoran to the said mine, and Master Yu explained the scope of the mine to Wang Haoran on the side. Inadvertently, Wang Haoran found a kind of grass, he was confined by the Ming Mansion in Chang'an, and he saw a picture of this grass when he looked through the books in the house, because the book described that this grass was closely related to the copper mine, so he remembered it so clearly.

Master Yu saw that Wang Haoran was very interested in that kind of grass, and secretly admired Wang Haoran's knowledge, and was worried about causing misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained: "This grass is called copper grass, as the name suggests, this grass feeds on copper......

"So you're not talking about iron ore, but copper?" Wang Haoran was surprised.

"Exactly."

Wang Haoran was pleasantly surprised and a little embarrassed, if it is an iron mine, the mining procedures are relatively simple, but the copper mine is different, the imperial court is very strict, even if the feudal officials want to mine, they must report to the imperial court, not to mention that it is a private person, it is basically impossible.

Of course, Master Yu also knew this, he saw that Wang Haoran was hesitating, thinking that this kid also thought of this, so he opened his mouth and said his plan: "This mine is connected to the original iron ore field, maybe we can mine it for a year or two before reporting to the imperial court that copper ore has been discovered......"

Wang Haoran hesitated, he would definitely not agree to the method that Master Yu said. If he was just a Tang Dynasty businessman, maybe he would agree, but he was not an ordinary person, at least he thought so. In his opinion, it was like he was playing a real game, and it was not worth it to gamble his life for a bunch of in-game currency. However, the temptation of these game coins to Wang Haoran is really not small, and the reason why he hesitates is to think about how to get these game coins safely.

"Prince Wang?" Seeing that Wang Haoran was silent for a long time, Master Yu was anxious to get an answer, so he called softly.

Wang Haoran sobered up from his contemplation, and at this time he also thought about it almost and replied: "What Master Yu said is really feasible, but the kid has always been timid, but he doesn't have the courage to do this. But the kid has another way, although we can't get too much benefit in this way, we can earn peace of mind. If Master Yu and the leaders don't agree, the kid won't say anything, and the kid won't tell others about today's events. ”

When he said this, Wang Haoran also raised his heart to his throat, although he had saved Master Yu today, but in the face of such a large fortune, it was inevitable that they would not be tempted, and the good people who dared to be robbers must also be a hateful character, if they were worried that they had leaked the news, then Wang Haoran and Zeng Chengyong would have nothing good to eat.

"Then what is the prince's plan?" The big boss asked.

The big boss asked this, which made Wang Haoran feel a lot more relieved, he also said just now that his method is not profitable, since the big boss will ask, it can also show that these robbers have not lost their minds by these copper mines.

Wang Haoran thought about the wording for a moment and replied: "It is impossible to mine copper ore privately, but if you report it directly to the imperial court, the imperial court will inevitably send someone to investigate, and then send more professional miners to come to mine. ”

Seeing that Master Yu and they all nodded in agreement, Wang Haoran continued: "However, our Wang family has a way to make a special case for the imperial court, let my Wang family add some shares, and let my Wang family act as an agent for mining matters, at that time, not only can the people in the cottage have a job, but also open a household registration for everyone, so that the people in the cottage can live with peace of mind." ”

"Does the Wang family really have a way to make the imperial court make a special exception?" Master Yu doubted that businessmen were inferior people after all, and although the current imperial court had not clearly defined businessmen as miscellaneous, this perception was universal.

"Last year, the imperial court completely banned private iron casting, which everyone knows, but do you know that there are still two private iron casting kilns licensed by the imperial court in Datang?"

"And this?" Master Yu and they were surprised.
