readx;? Wang Tianfu, the owner of the Evergreen Gate, known as "Laughing Maitreya", is a person who is exquisite, kind and charitable, and is a famous good person in the vicinity. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Wang Tianfu received Ding Peng's greetings, he said in his heart that the person who came was not good, and called Hong Liu, the director of the iron mine, to discuss.

Hong Liu is not from Changqingmen, nor is he from the rivers and lakes, his home is in Baoji, and he has been mining for generations, and the largest government-run iron mine outside Baoji City is said to have been built by his grandfather.

Wang Tianfu hired him as the director of Qinglu Bee Iron Mine with a lot of money, and he was well paid, and even worried that he was lonely in the mountains, so he sent him a beautiful maid to serve him.

Hong Liu's skills and experience have nothing to say, of course, this is not what Wang Tianfu values him most, Hong Liu's sister married Xiang Jinkuan, the helmsman of the Sihai Gang Baoji Divider, and it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and Hong Liu naturally flattered Xiang Jinkuan.

In the area of Baoji, no one in the rivers and lakes dares not to give Xiang Jinkuan face, and there is nothing that Xiang Jinkuan can't do.

Wang Tianfu made two cups of tea, handed Hong Liu a cup, watched Hong Liu gulp and drink it in two sips, and said with a smile: "If the sixth brother of this fragrant tea likes it, he will bring two packs back later." ”

Hong Liu is a dignified-looking man, he doesn't smile, and when he hears it, he says: "Thank you to the owner, but I'm a rough person, drinking tea is like a cow chewing a peony, I can't taste anything, and it's too bad for the scenery." ”

Wang Tianfu laughed, and after laughing, he talked about business: "Sixth brother, can you guarantee the amount of iron and stone in the well this month?"

Hong Liu said simply: "Don't worry, with me Hong Liu, there is absolutely no problem, this month conservative 200,000 catties of iron and stone, can smelt 20,000 catties of crude iron." ”

Wang Tianfu praised two sentences, his tone changed, and he said regretfully: "This iron ore is rich, but unfortunately the conditions are too dangerous, mining and construction for several years, until today only one of ten thousand, a pity, a pity!"

Hong Liu nodded: "The iron ore mine is at the bottom of the valley, and it is surrounded by lofty mountains, so it is inconvenient for personnel and materials to enter and exit. Such clumsy objects as iron and stone are even more difficult to move an inch, and they are laborious every day, and most of the miners hired are used for this transportation, and only half of the output can be transported. Owner, I suggested that you set up an iron-making furnace near the valley, but I wonder what you think about it?"

"Well...... this" Wang Tianfu snorted and said perfunctorily: "Preparing to build an iron furnace is not a trivial matter, the investment is huge, and I still need to think about it again." ”

Hong Liu's suggestion is good, but Wang Tianfu also has concerns, after all, this iron mine is still nominally an asset of the Lingshan faction, and if there is any trouble at that time, he may lose all his money when he invests in the iron-making furnace.

Now, the most important thing is to solve the problem of iron ore ownership.

Wang Tianfu made up his mind and changed the subject: "Sixth brother, how was the matter I discussed with you last time?

Hong Liu shook his head and said: "I've been busy with iron ore production recently, and I haven't been home for two months, so I'll talk to my brother-in-law when I go back in a few days." ”

Speaking of this, Hong Liu hesitated a little and said: "In fact, the proprietor doesn't need to come up with this unjust money, some merchants are worried about the harassment of local ruffians and bandits, so they will pay the 'Sifang Ping An Money' to the Four Seas Gang, and the Four Seas Gang will provide them with some help and protection." As the head of the Evergreen Sect, the owner is a well-known good man, who dares to make trouble without long eyes, and I Hongliu is not a vegetarian. ”

Wang Tianfu naturally couldn't explain to Hong Liu that this Hong Lao Liuguan Iron Mine was a good hand, but he was upright and didn't have any city government, and it was easy to do bad things if he told him the truth.

Wang Tianfu smiled and said: "The sixth brother is not from the rivers and lakes, so he naturally doesn't understand the affairs of the rivers and lakes. This world is obviously the world of the Great Xia Dynasty, but we Jianghu people are not afraid of the imperial court, and we are too lazy to be controlled by those officials. ”

After taking a sip of tea, Wang Tianfu continued: "Today's rivers and lakes have ten major forces, and they are recognized by the people of the rivers and lakes as the most powerful ten sects and gangs. The Four Seas Gang has a huge power, many heroes and heroes are involved in it, there are many brothers in the gang, and the territory under the corresponding jurisdiction is quite large, and our Baoji City is the sphere of influence of the Four Seas Gang. ”

Hong Liu was a little confused when he heard it, and he didn't know much about the secrets of the rivers and lakes that Wang Tianfu said, but he also knew that since Wang Tianfu mentioned this, there must be a reason.

Sure enough, Wang Tianfu immediately got to the point: "This iron mine, we have been operating with trepidation for several years, and we also know that there are many people who are red-eyed, and they will inevitably cause some trouble on weekdays, which is really annoying."

Hearing this, Hong Liu understood what Wang Tianfu meant and asked, "Is the owner saying that the Four Seas Gang will protect our iron mine?"

Wang Tianfu nodded: "Friendship is friendship, business is business, the Four Seas Gang set up the Quartet Peace Money, in order to raise funds for the whole gang, if we pay the money, what trouble is there in the iron mine, go to the helmsman to make a righteous move, no one can say any gossip." But if you only want to make friends, you can help the helmsman once or twice, and if there are too many times, I'm afraid that he will not be able to explain to the brothers in the gang. ”

"That's right, it's still thoughtful. After Hong Liu finished speaking, he said with some doubts: "The owner always says that there is trouble, is there someone who wants to find the stubble of our iron mine?"

"It's a precautionary measure. Wang Tianfu said with a smile: "In two days, I will take the sixth brother a few days off, and the sixth brother will go home to visit relatives, and by the way, I will host this matter with Xiang Duo." In addition, I am going to raise the salary for my sixth brother next month, well, it will be set at five taels of silver per month. ”

Hong Liu hurriedly stood up and thanked him, Wang Tianfu shook his hand and said with a smile: "The sixth brother works hard, and the old man will not treat the people who follow the old man badly." ”

......

On the second day, Ding Peng came to visit Wang Tianfu, and Wang Tianfu personally came out of the gate of the iron mine to greet him, smiling and enthusiastic.

Wang Tianfu grabbed Ding Peng's arm and sighed: "Thinking of Brother Ding's voice and smile in the past, I am really sad in my heart, and I suddenly lost a confidant, which is really painful for the old man." ”

Ding Peng also showed grief on his face, and said sadly: "My uncle is like a fountain, and he should be a close friend like the head of the king, and he is dumbfounded." Don't grieve anymore, lest you hurt your body......"

Wang Tianfu sighed, shook Ding Peng's arm and said: "Siren has passed away, what's the use of missing it anymore? By the way, the virtuous nephew can call the old man uncle, the old man and Brother Ding are like brothers and sisters, if there is any difficulty in the Lingshan faction in the future, just come to the old man." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Wang!" Ding Peng immediately continued: "Today, there is a difficult matter to ask my uncle for here." ”

"Uh......" Wang Tianfu didn't want Ding Peng to hit the snake with the stick like this, he was polite, in fact, in addition to the friendship of the previous generation, he and Ding Peng really had a friendship, and they only met a few times.
