Ten thousand taels, my good man! A total of more than 100 gentry have only come today, and the average of everyone is 100 taels! The gentry looked at each other, and not a single one squeaked for a long time. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Do you want to be cold? This is not good, today I will not take some money from you, and tell me how to open a coal mine and make a lot of money. Lin Yihan lowered his face, turned his head and ordered: "It's too cold in this house, the officials, go and lock the door outside to the mansion, and call the mansion to do their ideological work." ”

A servant stepped out and locked the door with a click. Immediately, there was a commotion among the gentry in the house! It seems that the prefect has made up his mind today, and no one will want to get out of this gate without getting the silver.

A gentleman happened to have diarrhea today, and he was very anxious at this time, so he walked over and said softly: "My lord, I want to go back to the thatched house, can I go there first, and then come back to discuss with the adults!" ”

"Pull your pants, this house doesn't think you stink!" Lin Yi rejected his words without hesitation.

If you pull your pants, you won't make the squires present laugh off their big teeth, and everyone will have to be embarrassed. The squire blushed and had a thick neck, and after a while, he couldn't bear it anymore, and exclaimed, "My lord, I am willing to contribute a hundred taels of silver!" Into the coal mine shares! ”

"Haha! Good...... Someone, register him quickly, tell him to sign his name, press his handprint, and send him back! Lin Yi said with a smile.

The gentry hurriedly signed his name, pressed his handprint with the red seal, and flew out of the door.

Lin Yi turned his head to look at the squires and said with a smile: "Which squire has already promised to contribute a hundred taels, and he has a good start, so please hurry up and contribute to everyone here!" The government has always been fair and just in doing business, and it will never be greedy for everyone's silver. In order to reassure you, the government will randomly select twenty people from among you funders to supervise and inspect the expenditure of this money. If there is a problem, we will discuss it with everyone and solve it together. To tell the truth, last time the government gave food and silver money to the people of the whole government, and the court wanted the government to recover it, but the government didn't want to do this kind of thing to make everyone break the bank, so I thought of the idea of opening a coal mine. Don't underestimate this industry, if you run it well, make a lot of profits, and it can be worth your income from farming for a year in January? ”

Seeing that the gentry were still hesitating, Lin Yi said in a deep voice: "Since this mansion came to Zhengding Mansion, it has swept away the bandits in Qinglong Mountain, set up the Anping County Prince, and thwarted the conspiracy of the Maitreya Sect and bandits to rebel, so it can be regarded as some kindness to you, right?" You don't support the work of this government so much, do you want this government to kneel down and beg you, and you agree? When he said this, his face turned dark, his expression was very annoyed, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes.

This is a sign before the storm! A prefect has the power of life and death, and it is not easy to make your family ruined? Just fabricate a charge of colluding with Maitreya bandits, and you can easily be thrown into prison.

The gentry no longer hesitated, and some timid squires hurriedly stood up and laughed: "My lord, we originally intended to donate!" ”

Lin Yi turned his anger into joy, and said with a smile: "You are wrong, it's not that you want to donate, but that this mansion wants to take you to get rich together!" Rest assured, Master Ben himself has contributed money, and he won't joke with his own money. The scribe who ordered the clerk to write down all the silver taels contributed by these people, some of them contributed two hundred taels, and some of them contributed three hundred taels, but most of them were one hundred taels. A total of forty or fifty squires contributed and subscribed for shares. However, the other squires were still hesitating, and many of them hid far away.

An old squire walked up to Lin Yi tremblingly, with a bitter face, and said: "Lord Lin, two days ago, my son married a daughter-in-law, and his wife was sick again, and the family really has no money left, can you give less, I only have thirty taels of silver, if you don't want it, you can take me to prison!" "The way he looked when he spoke on his face was really pitiful.

Depend on! The tone of his speech is almost like a landlord bully! Lin Yi thought for a while and said with a smile: "The rest of you will look at it, if you are willing to subscribe for a part of the shares, you will use the money to buy it, and if you are really unwilling to pay, forget it." Now there are five thousand taels, and the capital is enough. Okay, everything is voluntary, and Lord Ben will not force you. ”

The rest of the squires glanced at each other, and some of them did not pull out a single hair, and some of them were a little more interesting, and they received less than a thousand taels of silver in total, and then they dispersed.

"Archie, come here!" After raising enough silver, Lin Yi's heart was relieved, and he called Archie to his side loudly.

"Sir, what's the matter with you?" Archie ran over and asked.

Lin Yi looked at him and smiled: "Archie, you haven't been with me for a short time!" I heard that you used to be a shopkeeper? How about it, are you interested in becoming the mine manager of this coal mine? ”

Archie's face changed abruptly, and he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed, and said, "Master, the slave is willing to do his best to help the master take care of this coal mine!" ”

Lin Yi smiled, told him to get up, stood aside, and said: "This coal mine, after it is completed, will definitely make a lot of money, he is a golden hen of my lord, and he will lay a lot of golden eggs for me." So this old man thinks about it, and thinks that you are old and serious, and it is most suitable to be the mine manager of this coal mine, and you will follow this old man into the mountain tomorrow! Remember, do what I say, and don't have a half-cent difference. There are some things you don't understand, and you don't need to get to the bottom of it, just do it. But the ugly words are ahead, if you don't do what I tell you and something happens, don't blame me for asking you. ”

"Yes, sir!" Archie hurriedly bowed in response, but the expression on his face was extremely happy.

Time waits for no one! Maybe one day the emperor and the household department will come to us to ask for silver, and besides, we are still in a hurry to go back to the capital? There are still two women waiting for us in the capital, and we can't let them down.

On the second day, Lin Yi took people into the mountain, and he followed the team at the scene, personally commanded, took wood to maintain the top gang, and pulled out more than ten truckloads of coal on the same day and sold it at a good price.

"Wow! My lord, how can you dig charcoal? What an eye-opener for the old slave! Archie rubbed his hands together excitedly, a look of admiration on his face.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "This is just the beginning, there is still a lot of knowledge in it?" Last night, I drew a few tools for digging coal, and you can have them made overnight, and tomorrow you will take them into the mountains! And Master Ben has already written a code of conduct, and you will learn from the coal digging workers tomorrow, and everything will be done strictly according to the rules! ”

"Yes, sir!" Archie took the drawings and the code of conduct written by Lin Yi, and ran away with a smile. (To be continued.) )
