Zhu Hao was ready to send Gongsun Yi and Sun Ru to open an iron mine.

At the same time, Zhu Hao's third disciple Guan Jing was also sent, Guan Jing had nothing to do in the capital recently, so Zhu Hao asked him to go to the iron mine to make meritorious contributions, and when he came back, he might be able to make up for a brocade guard.

Originally, Zhu Hao's idea was to let Guan Jing go to the martial arts examination, but to respond to the martial arts is not to respond to the military exercise, first to mix the identity of a military household, and before Guan Dezhao has become a "fugitive", although this kind of thing is very common in the northwest, but to be arrested by the government, you can only fill the army and Yansui, and the father and son don't want to stay in the capital.

"Go back and give your father and son a new household registration in Shuntian Mansion, you go to the east of the capital this time, do a good job, arrange for you to be a brocade guard Xiaoqi, and if Ying Wuju succeeds, you can directly fill the gap of 100 households."

Before Zhu Hao made plans for Guan Jing, he had explained the situation to Guan Dezhao.

Guan Dezhao is very grateful, looking forward to his son being able to get out of the shadow of the black household and become a member of the pro-army of the Great Tomorrow.

But if you want to get an official position, it doesn't mean that you just follow Zhu Hao, you must first make meritorious contributions, otherwise even if Zhu Hao fights for him, it will be unjustifiable.

As for letting Guan Jing join the army and go to the northwest to fight, it is simply unrealistic, and only to help do something that the new emperor faction is very concerned about, it must be said that the mine will be opened.

Guan Jing asked, "What about ...... How long am I going?"

"It can be as short as three or five months, as long as two or three years. Your father's idea is that you should start a career before you start a family, and singing is not a good livelihood, or it is better to go through the military and slowly rise through the ranks."

As the division commander, Zhu Hao has the power to plan Guan Jing's career.

In the past, Guan Jing only treated Zhu Hao as an owner or friend, but now as a disciple, he is a generation shorter than Zhu Hao, so he can only obey the arrangement.

Guan Jing has a strong nature, and after worshipping under Zhu Hao, he didn't learn much cultural knowledge, mainly to practice family martial arts, and more to mix up the name of Zhu Hao's disciple, as for what he will do in the future...... It's hard for a boy like him to think clearly.

Even if Guan Jing has ideals and ambitions, he must succumb to reality, in the strict hierarchy of the Ming Dynasty, everyone has actually planned everything with household registration since birth, and if you want to change your fate, you have to have bizarre life experiences.

"This time, there are both Jinyiwei and craftsmen recruited from the people, Jinyiwei has nothing to do with you, and people won't bird you, but among the people recruited by the Su Dongzhu, there are many lifu, or people who are originally caretakers of the home, they will obey your dispatch, what you have to do is to make them feel that you have real skills, follow you to make a name for yourself, and fully support your work. This group of people will be the first step for you to accumulate experience in leading troops......" Zhu Hao commanded.

Guan Jing asked puzzledly, "Aren't you going to see the scene?" Do you want to go to war?"

"Actually, it's all the same."

Zhu Hao explained, "When you go to open a mine, you will encounter all kinds of problems, not only the local government, but also bandits, local tyrants and inferior gentry, etc., and even the common people will run in groups to the place where the mine is opened to make trouble...... You have to know the severity of your shots, and you have to repel people without hurting their lives."

Guan Jing obviously didn't know that there were so many exquisiteness in opening a mine, so he pondered it carefully, and said with a serious face, "It seems to be quite difficult."

Zhu Hao said, "That's how challenging...... You are doing things for the saint on this trip, and if you do a good job, you can be recognized by others, and I will also greet them on Jinyiwei's side, they will take care of you, and when you make achievements, Jinyiwei's errand is indispensable! When the time comes, you can not only be a brocade guard, but also a martial artist, or even go to the northwest to serve in the army...... All things depend on your creation."

After listening to Zhu Hao's arrangement, Guan Jing gained a little confidence.

It's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree, and without Zhu Hao, a "gentleman", he is a reckless man who travels south and north, sings and plays.

Now you can look forward to embarking on a military career in the future, making meritorious achievements, and even being appreciated by the new emperor...... Not to mention anything else, as long as the emperor knows that there is a person like him, when he needs to cultivate cronies in the future, he may be able to promote him easily?

In the past, Guan Dezhao told him that he should not have unrealistic ideas, if he can mix with an ordinary hundred households, he is already an ancestor who burns high incense, and if he can be a hundred households in Jinyiwei...... Later off

The family incense can be passed on continuously.

……

……

Guan Jing and Gongsun Yi have everything to say, they all listen to Zhu Hao, especially Gongsun Yi has ambitions in his career, and now he can make meritorious contributions to the new emperor, so he can't wait to leave the country as soon as possible.

But Sun Ru's side ......

There are many problems.

"Sir, are you trying to embarrass you? I just got a name for myself in Guozi School, and everyone else knows that there is a person like me, and they slowly rely on me, and you actually let me go to the mine? Is that what people do? I've been expensive from the bottom, and I can't do physical work, or I'm ...... Let's discuss it, can we let someone else do it?"

Sun Ru is not only a weak scholar who has no power to tie the chicken, but also very lazy, and he also wants to save face.

This kind of person, if he hadn't made a bet with Fan Yikuan back then, Zhu Hao would never have chosen to cultivate.

Now Sun Ru is a joke in the Guozi Prison, he is often proud of his Anluzhou background, and he shows off in front of people, but no one takes him seriously, when he spends money, others always call him, then he is the big wrong, Zhu Hao is really afraid that the Sun family's Wanguan family property will be cleaned up by this kid.

Zhu Hao said: "Some time ago, your mother sent a letter asking me to discipline you well, saying that you have been in Beijing for the past few years, spending money like running water, and I don't know what you are doing. He also said that he hoped that you would become an official soon...... Do you think you can have a future in the country? Dream on! If you want to become an official, you must either be admitted to the Jinshi or work hard, you can choose a path from it."

Sun Ru patted his chest: "Of course it's a Jinshi!" In the past two years, I have improved a lot in my studies, and although I can rest assured, sir, I will definitely be able to make the high school list this time...... That's what others say."

Zhu Hao almost spat on this kid's face, he was really overwhelmed!

"Just you?"

Zhu Hao glared at Sun Ru, "If it weren't for me, would you have been able to pass the exam?" After reading the book for a few days, do you really think of yourself as a Confucian? I'm not here to discuss with you, I'm here to give orders! If you don't go, you have to go, and then you will be responsible for doing it, and you will obey what Mr. Gongsun says."

Zhu Hao nominally let Gongsun Yi and Sun Ru lead the team, but in fact, both of them went with the team as "consultants", they had no experience in mining, what could they do? Professional things need professional people to do, there are a group of craftsmen directly drawn from the Xishan Coal Mine, and some are selected from some experts in iron mines in the south, and Su Xigui is in charge.

In other words, Gongsun Yi and Sun Ru used to be mainly responsible for administration, while Guan Jing was engaged in security work.

Sun Ru looked aggrieved, as if his life had become gloomy!

How easy is life in the capital?

If you want money, you want women, you want women, you can do whatever you want, but when you get to the mine...... In the wilderness, where is there any place to spend money?

You can only live a life of penance!

"By the way, before leaving, you settled the house, I heard that you have not been returning home lately, and your wife has been neglected after arriving in the capital...... Your mother wants you to have a son sooner, why don't you have any thoughts?"

Zhu Hao continued to teach Sun Ru a lesson.

Sun Rubian flattened his mouth: "Mr. hasn't given me a little junior brother yet, why am I in a hurry?"

Zhu Hao gave him a blank look, and Sun Ru turned his head directly to the side.

As he was talking, Lu Song came in with a few brocade guards.

This time he went to the land of Jingdong to open a mine, and Lu Song dispatched a group of subordinates to go, although he may not be there in person, but Lu Song is basically leading the major events.

"Sir, everything has been prepared, there are a total of sixty-five Jinyi guards transferred this time, but you can go over there......" Lu Song wanted to speak and stopped, in fact, he didn't know the bottom of his heart now.

When he opened a coal mine before, he followed him to the Xishan mining area to see it.

It was not a treasure of feng shui, inaccessible, poor mountains and bad waters, to camp in that desolate place and protracted, the vast majority of people in the Jinyi Guard did not want to go.

Fortunately, Zhu Hao set the rules and launched the rotation system in time.

Jin Yiwei changes shifts every two months, and will not go a second time within a year after going, and the allowance paid is fully double that in Beijing, which dispels many people's concerns.

Looking for someone to do things, it is useless to use coercion, inducement is the best choice, and now that Zhu Hao is full of money, he doesn't care about such a small expenditure.

Southeast Haiphong originally needed to allocate a lot of money, but the auction of the newly opened coal mine was blocked by Yang Tinghe, and it became a grant from the household department, so as to save a lot of money, plus the Hui merchants were very active in joining the new emperor's camp, and the political donations were endless, and Zhu Hao, who took care of the inner treasury, naturally had a lot of money.

After the little emperor ascended the throne, he brought a lot of changes, giving great confidence to the people, and then Su Xigui has great influence in the businessmen.

Zhu Hao said: "When you arrive at the place, the owner of Su will arrange everything. In fact, the pit has been explored a month earlier, and three pits have been found temporarily, and all of them have a relatively stable output, so you can take over, not let you run around like headless flies. If there's anything wrong with the mine, I'll go there myself."

This time, Zhu Hao didn't plan to go with him, because he was on an errand in the Hanlin Academy, and it was not a New Year's festival right now, and leaving his post casually without permission would cause gossip and attract the suspicion of Yang Shen and even Yang Tinghe.

But that doesn't mean Zhu Hao won't do things.

For the details of the mining operation, Zhu Hao had already drawn the drawings, and then recruited mature craftsmen to teach him face-to-face, and then set off to solve all the difficulties.

When opening a coal mine, in fact, the craftsmen have accumulated a lot of experience in mining water and ventilation, many of them have been doing this business for generations, and they are basically thorough, and the means used by Zhu Hao to open the mine are not owned by this era...... Just a high explosive made of nitroglycerin is too much more efficient than it can be described as several times.

"I'll give you half a feast when I go back, and you'll be rewarded for a good job...... Lu Qianhu, I'm not talking about you, but this disciple who is not angry, he has not made a name for himself in the capital, which makes me very uneasy as a gentleman."

Zhu Hao is about to die on his own, cultivating a disciple who is not angry, and he will regret it for the rest of his life, sighing, which caused Lu Song to snicker.
