earned more than 10 million in one go, and Lin Ze was in a very good mood.

So, I decided to reward myself a little.

I placed an order for door-to-door delivery in the same city, and spent a small one million to upgrade my usual drones, portable thermal imagers and other electronic instruments to the top-of-the-line version that is not much different from the military version except for the label.

Before, because the budget was not very abundant, the things Lin Ze bought were only medium and high-end versions, and now they are a shotgun change.

Lin Ze's identity in the main world is already a military enthusiast, and it is not a very strange thing to buy these things, anyway, as long as you don't use these things to do things, you can legally hold them.

After doing this, Lin Ze opened the Gate of Heavens.

First, I went to the trading base of the two realms and set up many electronic instruments that I had just bought, and then opened the portal to another world.

In the quiet courtyard, Lin Ze pushed the door and adjusted a wave of surveillance as usual to ensure that no long-sighted servants had broken into the courtyard in the previous hours.

Then, he pushed the door open.

Because he has been selling fish all morning, Lin Ze has a smell of fish on his body at this moment, but this is not a strange thing in the eyes of the next person.

This reflects the beauty of Lin Ze's use of refining chicken essence as an excuse to buy yellow croaker.

Since it is a seasoning made with large yellow croaker as a raw material, it is normal for the body to be contaminated with the smell of fish.

Lin Ze first bathed and changed his clothes, washing away the smell of fish.

It's twelve o'clock now.

Subsequently, Lin Ze was just about to have lunch and went to inspect the coal mine in the afternoon.

I saw a few people come to visit me together.

It's not Li He, Gao Fei, and Liu Pei.

"Come uninvited, and I hope Ziyi won't blame you."

Li He, who was dressed in the official uniform of the county magistrate, smiled and bowed his hand.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but Ziyi's demeanor is still the same."

On the side, Gao Fei and Liu Pei also greeted Lin Ze with a smile.

"I've seen Lord Liu, Lord Gao, and my uncle, and the three of them are also in good spirits."

Lin Ze smiled and greeted him in return.

Originally, according to the rules, he should greet Li He, who had the highest status in the scene, first, but at this moment, he deliberately said hello at the end, and did not use Lord Li as a salutation, but replaced it with an uncle.

This is to show an attitude, I have no objection to marrying your young lady, and after a while, we will really be a family.

Obviously, Li He understood the meaning of Lin Ze's words, and the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Ziyi has been busy with the yellow croaker for so long as he came back, and now I think I have gained something."

At this time, Li He smiled and spoke.

The soldiers at the gate of the city were all the eyes of several county officials, and they naturally knew Lin Ze's general movements.

Li He was implying in his words that he wanted to eat a meal made with chicken essence.

Lin Ze gave them one or two chicken essences before, but this amount of food had already been used up after a few meals.

After eating such a delicious seasoning, when I went back to eat the original food, I felt that it was a lot worse, and it was no wonder that several people were so positive.

On the side, although Gao Fei and Liu Pei didn't speak, their smiling faces obviously expressed the same request for rice as Li He.

"You're pinching some to eat, aren't you?"

Lin Ze pointed to a few people, a little crying and laughing.

After teasing, Lin Ze said to the servants on the side: "Go and let the chef cook with the flavor I left over from last time, and entertain a few adults at noon today." ”

The servants took the command and departed.

It didn't take long for food to be served.

Compared with the banquet with all the delicacies and seas that Lin Ze entertained several officials before, these dishes are much simpler now, just home-cooked dishes.

But because of the addition of chicken essence, several officials ate very happily.

Lin Ze, on the other hand, had a calm expression, rarely sandwiched those dishes with chicken essence, and was very interested in the mandarin fish that was simply steamed with green onion and turmeric wine to restore the original taste of the food as much as possible, and frequently put down chopsticks.

Lin Ze usually doesn't eat chicken essence, because he was tired of eating it from childhood to adulthood in his previous life, and today he specially added chicken essence as a seasoning in order to entertain guests.

The three officials on the side were all elites, and they saw Lin Ze's actions in their eyes.

This kind of living habit is not something that ordinary people can raise.

In his heart, he was even more sure that Lin Ze had an extraordinary background, and the master he wanted to come from was also an extremely powerful hermit sect.

-----------------

After the meal, Lin Ze and three officials rode in a carriage and headed towards the coal mine in Heishi Village, Fenglin Township, under the escort of the soldiers.

There was nothing to say all the way, and soon arrived at Fenglin Township.

After getting off the official road, it used to be an extremely rugged path leading to the village of Heishi, but now this path has been deliberately leveled, and it is also paved with gravel transported from the river, making the whole road smooth and solid.

The carriage did not stop, and drove directly along the smooth and sturdy road to the outside of the village of Blackstone.

"It's a lot of time saved me compared to the last time I came to collect my taxes."

Gao Fei jumped out of the carriage and said with emotion to Lin Ze and the others.

Lin Ze nodded: "The road is smooth, so it is convenient to transport the dug coal out." ”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to the wasteland where the coal mine was located.

Compared to a few days ago, this place has changed dramatically.

At the end of the road, you can see many neatly standing wooden houses, which are the fruits of the labor of many craftsmen and the laborers of Blackstone Village for several days.

To the left is a living area.

The first is the dormitory area, which is divided into two types.

One is for those single miners who come to work in the coal mine, a large shop for five people, with a construction area of 30 square meters.

The second is to provide for those miners who drag their families to work, and the same construction area of 30 square meters, and the interior furnishings need to be arranged by themselves.

These wooden houses have a simple ondol set-up, and when it is cold, coal can be burned outside to maintain the temperature inside the wooden house.

Then there is the canteen area, which is located at the end of the dormitory area, and in the future, the whole mine cooks, and many workers go to this place for dinner.

More than 100 meters away, close to the mountain forest of Heishi Village, a public toilet has been built, where workers can usually go to solve physiological problems, and the accumulated fertilizer and water can be used for farming in Heishi Village to realize waste utilization.

In the area near the river, baths were built and stoves were set up to boil water in batches, where many miners could bathe and wash their clothes.

The wooden house on the right is the commercial area.

For safety reasons, the commercial area is set up 200 meters away from the mining area and living area, and there are warehouses where the excavated coal is piled up, and there are many scales and desks and other things, and the coal is sold in this area.

Lin Ze pointed to these buildings and introduced their functions to the three officials around him one by one.
