The entrance of the ancestral hall.

After Qin Huaidao sent Wang De away, he looked at the holy decree and land deed in his hand and relaxed, it is much easier to do it with coal, the key is not money, just pay for mining and transportation, a person can dig two big carts a day, and a strong laborer is paid about ten wen a day, even if he gives twenty wen a day, it is not much.

Two large carts of more than 100 miles were transported over for a maximum of two days, and a cart of fifty wen was absolutely crazy to rush to pull, and they also brought their own carriages, and then a little more conscientious, a meal, the two carts could not cost a few silver, but after refining the coke, a large kiln of bricks could be burned.

The bricks are calculated by piece, 1000 bricks and 100 Wen, the cost of coal burning into coke is lower, and the miscellaneous items are all added up, and the total cost of less than 300 Wen can burn 1,000 bricks, and Xue Rengui's charcoal burning 1,000 bricks costs 10 taels of silver, that is, 10,000 Wen, and the gap between them is simply worlds apart.

When it is burned in the future, don't say 10,000 wen for a kiln, even if 5,000 wen is sold out, it can cause crazy robbery, which is simply profitable, and even you can build a few sets of small villas of different styles for self-living, make a model to attract people to place orders, and then contract labor and materials to help people build, it is even more bloody, who said that building a house is not profitable?

"Uncle!" Luo Zhang's voice came, interrupting Qin Huaidao's train of thought.

"Coming back?"

Luo Zhangying said: "Well, everything has been purchased and handed over to Miss Mingyue." ”

"Come with me somewhere." Qin Huaidao said with some excitement.

"Where are you going?"

"It's naturally clear when you arrive, Brother Xue, you stay and watch your home." Qin Huaidao said and turned over on his horse.

The so-called housekeeping, in fact, is optimistic about the silver, full of 100,000 taels, what kind of trust is this? Xue Rengui said solemnly: "Young master, rest assured, unless Xue dies, it is guaranteed to be foolproof." ”

"No, I'm not here, you're in charge here." Qin Huaidao hit the horse forward.

Luo Zhang hurriedly hit his horse to catch up.

The two rushed out of Qinjiazhuang, and when they met Jia Youcai coming back, Qin Huaidao advised: "Uncle Jia, I'll go do something, rush back in the evening, and pay tribute to them early tomorrow morning." ”

"Let a few of them follow the guards, and there will be a good response on the way." Jia Youcai hurriedly said.

"It's okay, it's not far." Qin Huaidao beat his horse and galloped.

The two rode their horses and galloped, and rushed to the gate of the Tongguan County Ya at dusk, showing the holy decree, and the county order hurriedly cooperated, and accompanied them to a mountain, which was indeed barren enough, overgrown with weeds, and could not see many tall trees.

The county commander couldn't help but ask curiously: "Yi Guogong, this is the place mentioned in the holy decree, but this is a barren place, which cannot be cultivated, and it is said that cattle and sheep do not come to graze, it is a waste land, I don't know what Guogong is going to do?" ”

Qin Huaidao looked at a dark place but smiled, it was the coal he was looking for, took out a piece of gold cake and stuffed it quietly, and laughed in a low voice: "There is Lord Lao Wei to follow him, and when I go back, my guild will arrange for someone to dig up the black soil inside and transport it away, and ask Lord Wei to take care of it." ”

After all, it is someone else's territory, and there must be trouble, and people cannot be less sophisticated.

Wei County Ling saw that Qin Huaidao made such a generous move, and his good feelings suddenly increased greatly, it doesn't matter if the money is not money, the key is this respect, dignified and noble, even if he doesn't give it any meaning, dare not cooperate? With a flip of his wrist, he skillfully accepted it, and promised knowingly: "Guogong is polite, don't dare to say anything else, as long as the official is in Tongguan County for a day, I will ensure that there is nothing safe here." ”

Qin Huaidao smiled, as long as he was willing to accept it, it meant that the other party was not hostile, it didn't matter if he helped or not, just don't do it, he hugged his fists and smiled: "It's not early, I have to rush back, Master Wei, there will be a period later." ”

I came here to make sure with my own eyes.

Wei Xianling hurriedly said: "It's rare for Guogong to come here, it's not early, why don't you have a meal together?" ”

"Next time, when I have time to go back to Chang'an, I will please." Qin Huaidao said politely, flicked the horse's head, and rushed forward.

Luo Zhang caught up and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, you came all the way to see the mountain?" ”

"The black soil in the mountains is of great use." Qin Huaidao explained, thought of something, slowed down a little, and said, "Luo Zhang, have you contacted the people you contacted before?" ”

"It's all connected, just wait for Uncle's order."

"Inform them to mine the black soil, and for every big cart they dig out, give them twenty copper coins, three meals, and build a wooden house on the spot to live in, what do you think?" Qin Huaidao asked.

Luo Zhang reminded: "A large cart can be dug in half a day, and a worker outside is only less than ten copper plates in a whole day, will it be too much." ”

Qin Huaidao felt that twenty wen was less, but the outside salary was ten wen, doubling was the limit, and any more would cause chaos, and even cause other families to retaliate, and moreover, Shengmi en's fight against rice, people's hearts were complicated, and he had to guard against it, seeing that Luo Zhang was not too little, he had a bottom in his heart, and asked: "They are all old brothers who have followed your father, and they can't be treated badly, just twenty wen, the tools and materials are counted separately, and there must be meat for three meals, and you have to pay for finding someone to cook, this matter is left to you, in addition, recruit two hundred people to protect the mountain." ”

Luo Zhang was a little surprised: "With this black soil that no one wants, do you still have to worry about someone making trouble?" ”

"You'll know later, remember, the manpower must be well trained, be loyal, it's better to recruit homeless people, there is no foundation, be kind to them, it's easier to be loyal."

"Uncle, don't you think?" Luo Zhang's face changed.

Qin Huaidao scolded angrily: "What do you think? What can two hundred people do? Mountain protection is one of them, and it is also the most important, in addition, we have to have some self-protection power, in case the five surnames and seven look at the dead hand. ”

"Startle me, uncle, rest assured, leave this matter to me to ensure that nothing goes wrong." Luo Zhang promised that he had something to do, he could take care of the elderly in the house, and he could train a team, which was a dream.

"Find more carriages to transport to Qinjiazhuang, fifty wen per cart, forget it, give one hundred wen, carriages, horse materials are prepared, take care of meals, remember, digging holes in the mountains is easy to collapse, safety must be guaranteed, it is not easy to do coolies, be good to people, people will treat you better, don't be afraid to spend money, mine as soon as possible, transport it as soon as possible, and use it urgently." Qin Huaidao told him uneasily, if you are in a hurry, you can only spend more silver.

Only when there is silver can there be motivation!

"I've made a note of it, and I'll arrange it when I get back." Luo Zhang solemnly agreed.

The two rode their horses and galloped, hurried away with stars and moons, and returned to Qinjiazhuang in the middle of the night.

I was not tired all the way, so I fell asleep.

The next morning, the two were awakened by the smell of food.

Luo Zhang drove a carriage away after breakfast, and in the carriage was 10,000 taels of silver, the reserve gold for digging coal in the mountains, and all the people who should be told had been told, how to do it, who to hire to do it, how to spend the silver, etc., Qin Huaidao no longer asked, no need to suspect people, no doubt about employing people.

Qin Huaidao asked the housekeeper Jia Youcai to arrange to sign the employment documents with the girls, and sent them to the county government to report, and came to the back of the ancestral hall by himself, after all, he took other people's means, and saw that Princess Jinyang got off the carriage and was chatting with Yuzhang about something, looking good, and saluted: "Two princesses, morning!" ”

Yu Zhang nodded with a smile, which was considered a return gift.

Princess Jinyang laughed and said, "It's so late, Brother Qin won't wake up, right?" ”

"No way, hundreds of people have to feed, tired, how does the princess feel?"

"It's much better, thank you Brother Qin for your concern, I heard that Brother Qin will go to help Jinyang find that Luo Han Guo in ten days? The Lingnan road is far away, the miasma is thick, the mountains are full of tigers and wolves, the people there are still not educated, it is very dangerous, Jinyang is grateful, if the disease can be cured, it is better to marry Brother Qin when he grows up? ”
