Chapter 233: Gold Mine
The next day, Lin Ruhai told the old shadow the secret recipe for making ice, and asked him to arrange for someone to make a large piece of ice as soon as possible. After Jia Min took a nap, the old shadow arranged for someone to put a few ice basins in Jia Min's house, and the afternoon was the longest time in Linjiadao, but after a few ice basins were placed in the house, the wet feeling disappeared in an instant, Jia Min immediately felt a lot refreshed, and he no longer sweated when he sat in the house.
Grandpa Nine knew that Lin Ruhai asked for saltpeter last night to make ice, and this method was still thought up by Jia Min, so he sighed greatly, "The ancestor of the Lin family has accumulated virtue and can marry such a blessed and intelligent housewife."
"Yes, I heard that our master was able to be promoted to the prefect of Yingtianfu this time, and there is also the credit of the master's mother. The housemother also gave birth to two sons to the Lin family in a row, and each of them is smart and healthy, our Lin family is ready to wait," Tai Fifty Master stroked his gray beard and said.
"Uncle Fifty, do you want to mention it to the master and the master's mother, so that the young master can stay on the Lin family island?"
"What is the attitude of the master?"
"The master means that this time I will let the young master go back to Daming with him, and when the young master is older, we will take the young master back."
"The young master has been lonely, and finally has a wife and children, he must want his son to take his knees down, and watch them grow up, so he will not be easy to follow the master, he has to bear such a heavy burden at a young age, let's try to share the worries of the master as much as possible, and let him have some heart. This time, let Da Lin, Erlin, Sanlin and Si Lin follow the young master, let the young master stay here more, and cultivate a tacit understanding with Dalin and them. ”
"Okay, the young master is taking a nap at this time, and it is estimated that it is time to wake up, so I will go and bring the young master over." Grandpa Nine said and left.
Lin Ruhai was in the valley where the dark guards lived, and he was discussing with the old shadow.
"You're saying our people have discovered a gold mine north of Luzon"
"Yes, there is a side by the sea, because there are pirates who often haunt and are in the deep mountains, so it is still uninhabited, according to the news that Lao Ba came back, the gold content in that piece of ore is quite a lot, it is estimated that it is enough for us to mine for hundreds of years, and in the future, there will be no need for the master to send silver to our island, we can mine and refine gold ourselves, and we will have silver money to buy whatever we need."
There is no production on Linjia Island so far, and these secret guards have grown some grain and vegetables on the island, and they are only self-sufficient. The special products that were sent to them on other islands on a regular basis were all exchanged for the things needed to build Linjia Island and the materials used to make mechanical weapons. A few years ago, Lin Ruhai made the decision to sell two refined iron mines across a strait from Linjia Island, and he no longer spent a lot of silver to buy refined iron for making weapons, although it cost a huge amount of silver to buy iron ore, but in the long run, he can still save a lot of expenses, and there will be a steady stream of high-quality refined iron supplied to them.
Lin Ruhai fell into deep thought after listening to the old shadow's words, and he habitually tapped his fingers on the table. The old shadow stood in front of Lin Ruhai, not understanding what his master had to hesitate about, how could such a good opportunity be missed like this
After a long time, Lin Ruhai said to the old shadow, "It's just that selling that piece of mountain forest is too eye-catching, it's best to buy the northernmost part of Luzon that is connected to the sea." At present, we do not have the ability to mine gold, so we can take that place first, and we can earn back the money just from the timber on the mountain. ”
"The master means that we will sell that large piece of land under the pretext of timber in the mountains, but we will not mine gold."
"Yes, there are only 200 people in our entire Linjia Island, it is impossible for them all to go to the mines, not to mention that there are still many things to do on our own island, the gold mine is not better than the iron mine, the confusion is too great, we can't take care of one thing and lose the other, you continue to look for orphans to bring to the island for training, strengthen our Linjia Island, and also train some useful people for Lang'er." As for the gold mine, I will leave it to Lang'er, which is a gift from my father. ”
"The master may have to go to Luzon Island in person to talk to their chief about selling land, after all, that piece of land is not small along with the coast, and my subordinates may not have such a big face."
"Well, it's okay, I just want to buy some good gems from him for Min'er to make jewelry, you go and arrange it, and these two will set off for Luzon."
"Is it the master, do you bring enough silver this time to bring such a large piece of land, I'm afraid the chief won't ask for less silver."
"I exchange things with him, you don't need to spend money, you just have to prepare, I know it in my heart," Lin Ruhai said with confidence.
"It's the subordinates who obey the order, so let's arrange the boat," the old shadow said and bowed, and then left to arrange Lin Ruhai's trip.
Lin Ruhai took care of some chores, so he went home early, just in time for Jia Min to have dinner, so he used some together.
"Alas, it's different with an ice basin in the room, I used to sweat after eating, but look at how comfortable it is now," Lin Ruhai sighed.
"This ice basin has been set up for an afternoon, and the temperature in the house has naturally dropped a lot, and it is still better in the white than at night."
"I'm already very satisfied to have a refreshing meal" Lin Ruhai took the mung bean soup handed over by Jia Min, drank two sips and said, "By the way, I'm going to leave the island tomorrow and the next day, and I'll probably come back, let Lang'er come over to accompany you when the time comes."
"It's okay Lang'er is studying with Tai Fifty Master now, don't affect the child's learning progress, after all, we can't stay on the island for too long, it's good to let him learn more things, you don't have to worry about me, I'll read books at home, do needlework to pass the time, and I won't feel too bored"
"I'm sorry, Min'er, I'm busy with things on the island, and I don't have time to spend with you. I promise you, when I'm done dealing with the island, I'll take you out for fun."
"You're doing business, I have nothing to complain about, the sun here is so scorching, I really don't want to go out to tan, save yourself to tan, husband, what should you do if you dislike me for being ugly" Jia Min said with a smile.
"Min'er is naturally beautiful, how can you be ugly You see, now that you are the mother of two children, there is still no change, you can always easily stir my mind" Lin Ruhai said and kissed Jia Min's red lips, Jia Min responded to him softly, and the excitement was staged again, making the air become sweet and greasy.
