Chapter 11 Very Spirited
After all, the Hangu copper mine is their biggest capital for many years.
This more than ten years old mine is extremely rich in minerals, the massive copper ore is just a skin, and the pith produced in the depths is the best material for making divine weapons, and it is often priceless.
In addition, there is also a kind of blood veined stone, which can help martial artists stir up the blood qi in their bodies and speed up their cultivation, which is naturally more sought-after than copper ore and rock pith marrow.
If you're lucky, dig a little deeper into the mine, maybe you will dig up the spirit stones that haven't been exhausted, and you'll be in for a fortune.
Nowadays, the free aura between the heavens and the earth is getting thinner and thinner, and the spirit stones contained in the aura are priced at one price a day, as if there is no upper limit.
Although there are not many monks in Chengping Province, the number of monks in some other larger provincial capitals is still quite considerable.
Dig up one or two pieces, and you can make the four family heads happy for a whole year.
Even better, the four wealthy families took turns to be in charge of mining copper, and with only a symbolic payment of some tax silver each year, they could produce extremely large outputs, which was almost a lucrative business.
As for the cost of labor and the like, it is even more negligible.
In their eyes, the people of Anseong are no different from cattle, sheep and livestock.
Therefore, what Fang Yunchen did after coming to Ancheng was tantamount to interrupting the financial path of these landlords and tyrants.
It didn't take much to say anything, and the four families reached an agreement, no matter how much it cost, they would ask someone to teach this Lord Fang a lesson.
The ruthless Li family even invited an evil cultivator like Huo Li, and asked Mr. Huo Da to refine Fang Yunchen's remnant soul into an evil spirit, and he could not be reborn forever.
It's a pity that Huo Li said that the additional requirements needed to add money, so the Li family gave up, thinking that whipping corpses might be a more cost-effective option.
As for the consequences, the four wealthy families didn't think about it at all.
After all, in today's world, etiquette and music are collapsing, and the heroes are rising.
Those bigwigs with huge power and deep roots are busy grabbing territory, how can anyone care about a small border town like Ancheng?
The Great Zhou court is even more self-conscious, many ministers and magnates from the government and the opposition compete for power and profit, and various interest groups often fight to the death.
Next, they only need to discuss how to distribute the income for the coming year, and whether to adopt Mr. Huo's advice and raise corpses in the mine.
I heard that these zombies are infinitely powerful, fearless of death, and may have a certain level of intelligence after leveling up.
If you can form an army, it can be said that it is not to be ignored, but it can also be said to be swept away.
In case they really turn against the imperial court in the future, they can also learn from the other bigwigs to divide one side and continue to be the emperor of Ancheng and even the entire Chengping Mansion.
"That's right, wait until next year when we launch a county order of our own, and things will be easier to do in Ancheng in the future."
Zhao Donglai, the head of the Zhao family, who had a delicate mustache and a shrewd account man, touched his beard and said proudly.
Sun Daoming, the head of the Sun family, who was bloated, and Li Zuochan, the head of the Li family with silver hair, nodded one after another.
Li Zuochan stroked his long white beard and echoed: "That's right, my nephew Li Boming, I just went to Beijing next year to take the exam, and I have already taken care of the princes in the court, if nothing else, we won't have to bother so much to compete with the county magistrate next year." ”
After hearing this, several other people couldn't help but laugh.
It's just that the laughter is a little unnatural, thinking that each family has its own little abacus, and it will arrange for the children and nephews of the clan to participate in next year's big exam as early as possible, and they will have to rely on their own abilities when the time comes.
In the eyes of these local gate valves, the imperial examination at this time has become a passing scene, and some people have even regarded it as the best means to quickly realize personal gains.
"Come on, come on...... I won't talk about family matters today, just Fengyue. ”
Just as the four of them were talking about wine, ready to blow about how tender their new concubine was, and exchange the secret of the undiminished majesty of the year, with one enemy and seven every night, suddenly someone knocked on the door in a hurry.
"What's the matter?"
Speaking of the four people on the head of Xing, they were naturally displeased, and this time He Jiuwen, who was the east, frowned even more, and asked with a little anger.
An anxious voice immediately came from outside the door: "Owner, the little one has something important to report!" ”
The four of them chuckled in their hearts, could it be that something happened in the mine?
Is there another rebellion? Or has something happened to the Yin Qi that gathers in the depths of the mine?
Now the manpower in the mine is already a little insufficient, and if there are any more moths, even these big families who cover the sky with one hand will feel a headache.
"Come in and talk!"
I saw a little guy in a blue soap coat hurriedly pushed the door in, didn't care about saluting, and said: "A few masters, that Lord Fang in the county government is not dead......
I don't want the four heads of the family to say in unison: "This is impossible!" ”
The four heads of the family glanced at each other, but their expressions were a little embarrassed.
They have all seen Mr. Huo's methods, and they are indeed unpredictable.
And last night, through other eyeliners, they did learn that the county government house was full of gloom and ghosts.
It also seems to have heard a few screams.
But those eyeliner were too daring, and none of them dared to confirm Fang Yunchen's life or death.
It turned out to be really going wrong.
"You say slowly, what the hell is going on?"
The eyes of the four bigwigs stared at each other, and Laifu couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.
"Yes!"
Laifu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly told him a rough description of what happened in the yamen last night.
It seems that Mr. Huo did make a move, but in the morning, the county order of Fang was alive and shouted in front of the courtyard of the back house, and the entire county government could hear it clearly.
Later, many people saw Fang Xianling wandering around the courtyard for a long time, and he was very energetic.
"Alright, you go out first."
The four heads of the family stared at each other, and they didn't know what to do for a while.
He Jiuwen smashed his mouth, tilted his head and was the first to question: "Will we be cheated by the surname Huo?" ”
"It can't be!"
Li Zuochan, who was still sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai before, immediately jumped out to refute it.
I saw that the head of the Li family had a red face, as if he was being ridiculed for being old and not good at night.
After all, the person was found by the Li family, and saying that Mr. Huo had a problem was no different from slapping the Li family in the face.
Seeing Li Zuochan putting on a desperate posture with others, the other two families naturally did not want to add fuel to the fire.
Last night, Mr. Huo said to everyone with his nostrils facing the sky that a mere mortal was absolutely caught, but he didn't expect that there would be an accident.
