Chapter 448: Need to keep the first opportunity
Shao Yi picked up the wine glass and said to the brothers: "Come on, no matter what you say, you have to eat the meal first." Forget about the wine, taste less, and then we have to talk about things. ”
"Let's talk while we eat." As he spoke, he added a chopstick dish, and really said while eating, "I can assure you that around the land of Dongxi, there are all black gold stones buried in the ground, and there is no bottom. At least the small piece of land that I sent had dug was ten feet deep, and the black gold stone mine was still abundant, and there was no sign of exhaustion at all. ”
Qiao Qixiong started from the plate of fried chicken in front of him, and had already pulled a chicken leg down, and when he heard Shao Yi's words, he was extremely shocked and asked, "Ten zhang deeper?" With such a large area of land, ten feet, there are really a lot of things! ”
The rest of the people also looked at Shao Yi in surprise, thousands of hectares of ground are all buried with black gold stones, or such a thick storage, how many years does it take to dig?
Shao Yi looked calm, raised his glass to a few people, and said: "Let's put it this way, as far as the reserves are explored now, the Wujin Stone Mine in Dongxi, no matter how you dig it, it will not be able to be dug up in at least one or two decades." If you talk about it, it is possible to dig for decades. ”
"What a fucking opportunity!" Qiao Qixiong bit down a piece of chicken thigh, already thinking about what kind of benefit Shao Yi would bring by bringing them this time.
Zhan Qi picked up the wine glass, drank it dry, and said, "Cheng'an, what do you think?" In short, let's do whatever you want. "A few people are asking Shao Yi what he means.
"What I urgently need to solve here is the smooth transportation of the black gold stone. The village over there is poor and closed, located in a remote area, and there are many difficulties when the transport vehicles pass by......," Shao Yi said, and then looked at his small hair, all of them pricked up their ears, and listened very attentively, obviously none of them could think of a solution.
He smiled knowingly, "It's not difficult to solve this matter, I still have about a year or so of mining before the construction of the imperial court mining agency is completed." During the year, the mining area needed a large number of miners, and the quarried black gold stone was transported to the capital, and a large number of horses, horses and workers were also needed......"
Shao Yi explained Xia Yanqing's plan in detail, and listened to these guys dumbfounded, probably never imagined that such a thorny problem could be solved in such a way.
After a long while, Cheng Youting exclaimed: "It's really yours, you can actually come up with such a solution." ”
Ding Bochang continued his words and said, "So, you now need a competent steward, not only to manage the mining and transportation, but also to have some people to deal with the surrounding villages, and by hiring workers, the village chief and Li Zheng can maintain the mining area and the transportation roads from being harassed, right?" ”
Shao Yi nodded and added: "The people who do these things must have a little background to support them, so that they can make the local government and the people in the village awe-inspired." I pondered, go back to your respective heads of houses, and send me the stewards of your house. ”
As soon as this sentence came out, there was silence for a moment, but Ding Bochang spoke first and said: "I can talk to my father about this, but you also know that I am just a concubine in the family, although I am starting to do things now, I can say something at home." However, my father will most likely send the chief steward to Dongxi to plan local interests, and only send you a few people to deal with the errands. ”
Zhan Qi nodded like pounding garlic.
Speaking of which, they are all facing such a dilemma in a light or serious way.
Shao Yi gave them a big opportunity, so that the family could get first-hand information from them, and go to Dongxi to plan one step earlier than other families. It is also because of this that they can improve their status in the family. But they could not influence the attitude of the head of the family towards the matter.
Shao Yi smiled, "That's because you didn't make it clear." In the current situation, it is better for a few adults and Hou Ye to send people to me, this is the first opportunity. Your head of the family will not listen to your words, so they will buy land around Dongxi, and they will send people to investigate the local situation first.
If a few of you rush to Dongxi, it will be too eye-catching, and it will not take you a few days to figure out the joints. Helping me do things is a good way to cover my eyes, just when you ask the head of the family to send someone to help me stabilize the situation, these people can help me do things, and at the same time, you can find out whether Dongxi has value without a trace. ”
After listening to Shao Yi's plan just now, several people were really a little worried in their hearts, and they all wondered how to persuade their father and grandfather to let the housekeeper with a face in the family go to the mining area to help Shao Yi, but they couldn't think about it.
Then he heard Shao Yi's tirade, Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief, this is done!
Cheng Youting said: "You guy, you are becoming more and more capable. You probably don't know that most of the officials in the court and at all levels are talking about this matter today. Not only are you jealous that you have earned 20,000 taels of silver with that piece of land, but you are also gloating. Thinking that your next mining must be difficult, in desperation, the mining business will soon change hands. But I didn't expect that your tricks and tricks were all genius. ”
He admired it from the bottom of his heart, these people have been together for many years, and if you want to say that you think a lot and your brain turns fast, it should be him and Ding Bochang.
Now it seems that Shao Yi is becoming more and more thoughtful, not only protecting Qingyun Zhai, but also doing business to such a point. Lan Yu, the commander of the Terracotta Division, also praised him, and said that he was thoughtful.
Cheng Youting looked at them one by one again.
Now it is still Shao Yi who is leading, if they work hard to be errands and help each other, maybe even if they are concubines, they will be a little stronger than the children of the family in the end.
The rest of the people didn't think as much as he thought, and they all sighed that Shao Yi had planned well, and had already thought through the whole matter, and they just had to go back and explain it clearly to their parents.
In the end, Shao Yi greeted everyone again: "The sooner this thing is done, the better, so as not to be seen by others as a business opportunity." The brothers hurried, ate and dispersed, and went home to ask the elders for ideas.
Also, you have steady and down-to-earth subordinates, and try to send me as many as possible, this is our own people, I can rest assured. From now on, until the imperial court takes over the mining area, the proceeds of mining during this period will be divided into two percent for you to share equally. ”
As soon as Shao Yi said this, there was a sound of cups and plates colliding in the audience, and doubts also sounded.
Zhang Yongchang's hands also trembled, and his voice was a little loud when he put down the rice bowl. Then he said hesitantly, "No, no need." Actually, we told the family what you said, and this is a great achievement, and we have already gained great benefits. Why are you embarrassed to share dividends from you again? ”
"Yes, yes, Cheng'an, I really don't need it."
"Our brothers, after so many years and Qingyunzhai's glass business, Cheng'an, you have taken good care of us. In this matter, we have benefited greatly, how can we take any more money from you? ”
"That's it, we're all our own people, you don't have to worry too much."
Several people shirked one after another.
