Jiang Shantong and Mu Dazhi received two thousand taels of silver from Lou Suzhen.

After Lou Suzhen asked people to prepare the silver, she sighed with emotion: "My lord has been unwell recently, so I can only recuperate first, and now it is the season of summer grain collection in the north, and I have to worry about related matters."

"Yes, yes."

Mu Dazhi hurriedly agreed.

Jiang Shan said: "I mentioned before that I wanted to invite Dr. Wu for my lordship......

Lou Suzhen said, "Not for the time being. The adults themselves are also well-versed in medicine, so there is no major problem, but they need to recuperate."

Mu Dazhi said with a smile: "My lord has just arrived, he is not accustomed to the water and soil, and he has worked hard for the matter of opening a mine, so he should recuperate well, and these things will be left to the subordinates to do."

At this time, Mu Dazhi wished that Zhu Hao would hide in the yamen to recuperate, so that it would be convenient for him to enrich his own pockets in the mining appropriation.

Jiang Shantong was a little worried: "Mr. Mi, the current situation is that even if the mining has been advancing, the mine kiln must produce output, and even let Jinyiwei take action with a grudge, I am afraid that it will ...... It takes too many days. It is said that there are experts on Jinyiwei's side to help guide the mining matters, you see......

Lou Suzhen smiled, "We can't produce good ore for the time being, won't we ship some from other places?"

"This ......"

Jiang Shantong looked at Mu Dazhi on the side, at this time Mu Dazhi seemed to have no intention of listening to these at all, and he was probably thinking about how to make money.

Jiang Shan said, "Will it be noticed by the people of Jinyiwei?"

Lou Suzhen said: "It depends on whether Jiang Tongzhi will do anything, I heard that there are some old mining kilns in the local area, although the output is not much, but buy some ore from them and secretly transport it to the newly opened mine, it should be no problem, right?"

"I'm afraid ......"

Jiang Shantong means that there is not enough silver.

Lou Suzhen was quite displeased: "Two thousand taels of silver, buy some iron ore to go back, is this still a difficult thing?" Doesn't it mean that your own mine can also produce some ore? If it doesn't work, then buy a batch of pig iron and go back, and transport it out of the mine with great fanfare, in short, let the people of Jinyiwei lose face, and they will shoot with hatred!"

Jiang Shan said, "It seems that this is the only way."

……

……

Lou Suzhen sent Jiang Shantong and Mu Dazhi away, and returned to the inner office to see Zhu Hao.

At this time, Zhu Hao was asking people to pack their things and was about to embark on the road to the mine. And Lu Song has already hit the road, ready to greet and escort Zhu Hao.

"Childe is about to leave?"

Lou Suzhen saw that Zhu Hao was ready to go, and she was a little uneasy.

After all, after Zhu Hao left, everything in the prefect's yamen almost had to be completed by her alone.

Lou Suzhen felt a lot of pressure on her shoulders.

Zhu Hao said, "I'm here for the mine...... It's been almost half a month since I arrived at Yongping Mansion, and I haven't been to the scene yet, so it's a bit of a delay."

Lou Suzhen asked, "How should the new mine be promoted?"

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "According to what I told you before, I believe that in less than half a month, there will be a Jinyi guard in Yongping Mansion to open a mine, and the people will compete for profits.

"I'm afraid of the ...... of the official."

Lou Suzhen means that it is not easy to find someone to impeach.

Zhu Hao said: "I heard that Zhang Bingyong is already on his way to Nanjing, you said that if he hears that the new prefect is suspected of mining after he arrives in the place, will he play a role in impeaching me?"

Lou Suzhen blinked, and then understood that this was a bitter trick.

Let Zhang Xuan participate in the impeachment of Zhu Hao, putting on a posture that is incompatible with Zhu Hao, and Zhang Xuan and Zhu Hao, as the new and old governors of Yongping Mansion, each represent the new emperor and Yang Tinghe's camp, and they are in danger with each other, which is completely reasonable.

Zhu Hao said: "Once Zhang Xuan makes a move here, the people on Yang Ge's side will actively deal with it, and I will inform Yang Yongxiu at that time, and he will also find someone to help me in the Jingshi." Gambling, you can't shave your head and pick your head hot, the premise of Yang Gelao's move is that there are people on His Majesty's side...... Anyway...... Huh."

Lou Suzhen smiled: "Anyway, there are people on both sides of the son, don't you worry about losses?"

"Well, you know me, madam."

Zhu Hao smiled, "I'll leave it to Mrs. you, this time I will go to the mine, arrange a fire fight first, and finally make up the excitement!"

Lou Suzhen was actually quite speechless.

Zhu Hao, as the key figure of the new emperor and Yang Tinghe and the factions on both sides, designed himself by himself, which is equivalent to saying that the whole thing is completely up to Zhu Hao to decide how to play, outsiders are all played with in the palm of his hand, and all the ministers of the DPRK and China are all restrained by Zhu Hao.

And Zhu Hao is just a young man, and he can firmly control the affairs of the court, which is also what makes Lou Suzhen feel incredible.

……

……

Before night that day, Zhu Hao went out of the city with Lu Song and others.

After leaving the city, he rode his horse in the direction of the mine.

"Sir, don't be in such a hurry, it's not too late to arrive tomorrow." Lu Song was afraid that Zhu Hao would work too hard, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

After waiting for so long, there was no need to be in a hurry, so Lu Song did not support Zhu Hao's decision to rush overnight, for fear that Zhu Hao would become ill because of it.

Zhu Hao said: "In the past few days, I have pretended to be sick and done a lot of things to cope with the scene, and now I have finally come out of the cage, and I don't hurry up my time to work? Lu Qianhu also wants to go back to the capital early, doesn't he?"

Lu Song laughed.

Zhu Hao said earlier that as long as the posture is done sufficiently, so that Yang Tinghe feels that the emperor is forced to hand over the mine to the local gentry to take care of, then the Jinyi guards who are in charge of the mine can return to the capital, of course, only the managers of the new emperor's faction, craftsmen and main miners will continue to work in the mine.

At that time, Lu Song didn't have to guard the mine, and he could go back to be his brocade guard Qianhu with peace of mind.

"By the way, early tomorrow morning, when we arrive at the place, we will send people to the mine next door to make a fuss, don't fight too fiercely on both sides, there can be no deaths and injuries, it is best to make the thunder and rain small, just make it look good."

Zhu Hao doesn't need to wait, when he arrives at the mine, he can let the two sides fight, he can just command and dispatch on the side, and arrange a big drama well.

……

……

That night, the group was on their way.

In the second half of the night, Zhu Hao finally arrived at the mine.

Guan Jing, Gongsun Yi, Lu Bing and others came out to greet them.

Zhu Hao's arrival is very confidential and cannot be publicized to the outside world, and there are only a few people who know Zhu Hao's identity, and Zhu Hao did not even send anyone to inform Sun Ru...... Because Zhu Hao didn't think that Sun Ru, who had always been a big mouth, was a talent for doing things, and staying in the mine was originally brought in to make up for it.

"You're here!"

When Gongsun Yi saw Zhu Hao, he was most emotional.

Among so many people in the mine, Gongsun Yi is equivalent to a "military advisor", but he himself does not have much level, fortunately, he has a reputation for raising people, and he is more down-to-earth than Sun Ru.

Zhu Hao had planned for Gongsun Yi before, a miser, the most suitable for financial management, but to prevent this goods from moving the public's money to his own home.

Fortunately, Gongsun Yi is not very bold, and he always does things with a little timidity, and he doesn't dare to stretch out his hand in a short time.

Zhu Hao entered the mine.

The mine was still working at night.

Everywhere there is a bright fire.

There was a lot of noise in the mine, but Zhu Hao had no intention of inspecting the work in the middle of the night, and then he entered the "staff dormitory" area, which was a group of wooden houses that had been built in the past few months.

The number of regular employees in the mine has exceeded 2,000, and with the families of these people, it has formed a small town.

After all, there is no one to farm here, and in addition to the necessary living guarantee provided by the mine, it is more dependent on the miners and their families to purchase them from outside, and because the mine pays a relatively high salary, even ordinary miners need to buy some daily necessities...... Many local merchants saw business opportunities and gathered nearby to do business.

The mine became a small society of its own, and the villages closest to the mine developed into market towns, not to mention the purchase of daily necessities

, even some luxury goods can be bought.

There are even people who come over to do the miners' business, involving a road service for eating, drinking, and having fun, and even the Qinlou Chu Pavilion has quietly opened a few stores.

"Sir, this house is relatively independent, all enclosed by a two-foot high wooden fence, and no outsiders are arranged to move in...... This is what you have instructed before, and special care should be taken when building it, and it must be quiet and confidential. Your room used to be a laboratory, and then it was a place for meetings, and those who can usually come here are the backbone of our palace, but all the staff recruited later are not allowed to approach."

Lu Song's ability to do things is much stronger than Gongsun Yi, plus he has the position of Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and Jinyiwei, who followed him to open a mine as a manager, is also under the jurisdiction of Lu Song, making Lu Song the real leader here.

Zhu Hao said: "Just like the last time, I don't have many times when I go out, but whenever I go out, I must have more than ten guards, and I must prepare black clothes and a hood, I don't want to be seen when I go out." As for technical things such as smelting, a large number of craftsmen are needed, so let's find the original group of people."

……

……

Zhu Hao arrived at the mine.

In the early morning, Zhu Hao was still resting, and on the other side, Lu Song had arranged more than 20 Jinyi guards, with no less than 100 people, to go to the mine next door to make trouble.

First, the vehicle that delivered the supplies to the mine was served to a pot.

Then someone was sent to set a fire on the side of the mine next door.

Because the recruits from the new mine here in the government are basically ordinary people, no one dares to mess with Jinyiwei.

This picking quarrels and provoking troubles belongs to Jinyiwei's unilateral performance.

The people of Jinyiwei did not rush into the mine, and the people inside did not dare to come out, and after some standoff, Jinyiwei left after setting fire.

The people in the mine saw that Jinyiwei was gone, and they were sure that they would not come again, so they hurriedly sent someone to Fucheng to inform Mu Dazhi...... At this time, Mu Dazhi belonged to the commander-in-chief of the mine, and as a promoter, he only needed to report to Jiang Shantong and Lou Suzhen.

"It's a big deal!"

After Mu Dazhi learned the news, he didn't go to Jiang Shantong, but immediately rushed to the government to find Zhu Hao, of course, all he could see was Lou Suzhen.
