Seventy miles west of Xiaonangou, this village named Qingfeng Village is the fourth village of the Chen family in Funiu Mountain. This is completely the last retreat prepared by the Chen family for themselves, since the Xiangxian den became bigger, the net profit of nearly 10,000 taels of silver in a month has greatly boosted the spirit of the entire Chen family, but also not only has it been worried.

Without him, the profits are too great. It is beyond the scope of the Chen family's luxury.

10,000 taels of silver, just one month, this is worth half of Chen's total assets. The Chen family clan is a family business that has been accumulated through decades and hundreds of years of hard work. It's not as good as the profit of the current three months.

Before doing things, Chen Ming also looked forward to the future for the Chen family, and also said that the benefits of more than 100,000 taels a year. But at that time, these words all had the attribute of 'flowers in the mirror', but now the silver of the white flowers has been held in the palm of the hand, and it can be seen and touched. For people, these are two completely different concepts.

Think about the profit of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, if the news leaks and is known, will the Chen family still be good?

As a soap family, the Chen family has seen a lot of dark and messy things, but this is the reality, and the world is like this.

After the fiery heart was chilled by the cold silver, the Chen family and the others calmed down and began to think about their future path. If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, the Chen family must prepare a reliable back road for yourself, and when the time comes, hundreds of people from the whole clan will be killed.

Therefore, it became necessary to build a village deep in the mountains and hoard food and other materials. When the time comes, the Chen family has no choice but to retreat to the mountains of Funiu Mountain, and then flee separately. Anyway, the Chen family has money in their hands, and if they escape, they will still be rich and noble for a lifetime.

Chen Ming made a strong contribution to this proposal, and also proposed to go to Guangzhou and other important ministers in the south to buy real estate and shops. The reality is not an eight-o'clock TV series, just one can run around with a silver ticket, although the silver ticket is bearer, but as long as the amount is larger, it must be registered + token.

When the Chen family went to the last step, they must have become a wanted criminal, and how much money was thrown into the silver number of Qianzhuang was also in vain. And if a person runs away, he can't take anything too heavy, and it is enough to carry one or two hundred taels of silver with him, so what is the use of that extra silver?

The problems that Chen Ming can think of, the old people of the Chen family have no ideals. But this thing can't be done in the blink of an eye, and the Chen family still has to change the vest, which takes a period of time in between.

Chen Ming happily watched the Chen family go to the depths of Funiu Mountain to build a village, because with this knife on his head, it became reasonable for him to make iron cannon muskets and hoard gunpowder. Chen Ming won't mention rebellion, looking at the appearance of the Chen family, who has the heart to rebel? They all want to be rich and glorious. At this time, it would be unwise to find out your own plans. He just needs to see that what he wants to do can be completed little by little with the power of the family.

At present, in addition to Qingfeng Village, the Chen family has three other villages in the vast Funiu Mountain, one is between the coal mine and the iron mine, which was originally the dispatching and turnover place of the Chen family's private mine, and now it is the second iron-making base of the Chen family after Xiaonangou. The coal mined from the mountains is directly smelted into coke here and then transported back to Xiaonangou, and the iron ore mined from the mountains is also crushed and smelted here before being sent to Xiaonangou, which does not directly reduce the transportation burden between the mine and Xiaonangou, but the economic benefits are doubled.

And the most important thing is that the Chen family bought a lot of twenty-five-year-old yesterday's yellow flowers from the Qinglou Women's Branch Halls in various places and sent them to this place for the miners to put out the fire.

It's vulgar, but that's what they use.

Because the Chen family is very good for absenteeism, they eat well, sleep well and warmly, and have a day off every ten days. The Chen family gave them silver money, and with the silver money, the iron village was a blessed land of heaven.

In Tiezhai, there are storytellers, singers, tricksters, gamblers, and skins and meat.

To make hundreds of bachelors work honestly, except for hanging a carrot in front of them - five years, the contract they signed with the Chen family is five years. After five years, you can pat your ass and leave. There is also a lot of fun for them to vent, and women are indispensable.

As for the income of these women, the Chen family only takes 20%, and the rest of the money is used to pay the rent, and then excluding the cost of food and clothing, they themselves can at least fall by half, which is much better than when they were in the Qinglou. It's just that the contract has been signed for a longer period of time, five years, as long as those men who work. By that five years, they were all thirty years old.

But this is their distress, the Chen family is not a benevolent hall, everything is ready for them. In this way, for this group of older female branch girls, the Chen family has done its best. You must know that these girls themselves were bought by the Chen family.

This is also the fact that the Chen family is not short of money, otherwise how could there be such superior conditions.

Chen Ming didn't know what the Chen family would be like in five years, five years was not a short time, so for the time being, he didn't need to think about the troubles in five years. Anyway, he only knew one thing - the news of the Chen family must not be leaked.

These days, the Chen family is mobilizing all their forces to investigate the affairs of Ruzhou, and they are investigating He Huazhang's family in Lushanben County. But no trace was found. He Huazhang's family background is mediocre, from childhood enlightenment to entering Qintai Academy, the trajectory of his life for more than ten years is clearly visible, and he is as tight as usual, and he has never heard that this person has anything to do with that big man.

Chen Ming couldn't help with this, so he went back to Xiaonangou. He's going to make glass. Instead of a flat mirror, it is much more convenient to make a few pieces of pure glass first.

When Chen Ming got a few fine crystals during the Chinese New Year, he thought of using crystal grinding lenses to make monoculars. This thing is very useful in warfare, especially in the mountains. Because Chen Ming mentioned that this is good for 'secrecy', the Chen family was very concerned and specially found a mirror grinding master from Nanyang Mansion.

In the middle of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although glasses were still rare, they had appeared in various places. Nanyang Mansion is a big house, and the Nanyang Basin is not a barren place, and there are people who buy glasses themselves. The lenses are all pure natural crystals.

As a result, the masters found by the Chen family had good skills in grinding lenses, but the center of the circle was not accurate, and most of the materials were scrapped, and it took several months of hard work to make three monoculars, which were taken by the cheap father and played with for a long time.

Then hearing that the cannon was successfully cast, Chen Ming hurried to Qingfeng Village, the deepest part of the mountain. The incident in Ruzhou made him feel a sense of crisis again. It is also this sense of crisis that makes Chen Ming's sense of guilt when facing the long crowd in Tiezhai and private mines disappear a lot.

In the dark, there seemed to be a providence telling him that the Chen family would not last for five years!
