Master Qiao naturally didn't want to watch the mine under his name being hollowed out.

But he was helpless and powerless about it.

He already knew the truth that the wall was falling down and everyone pushed it, and he also understood that those ceramic kiln factories deliberately broke the contract during this critical period, and secretly instigated the miners to make trouble, and it was that mine that was plotting.

But!

That's why he can't go against those people at this time.

"Laiwang, you hold on a little longer, so that you let those miners only dig ten catties of ore every day, and they can use the ore they dig to pay for their wages at will."

Master Joe's purpose is obvious.

It's just to use the mine to attract some people's attention and take the opportunity to keep them from staring at other outputs.

Anyway, that mine can't make much money in a year, and because Loulan glaze has recently become a trend, many precious ceramics have been put on the shelf, he has long had the intention of turning the mine out, but because of the industry of the mine, ordinary people buy it is just a hot potato, plus those ceramic kiln factories secretly make a hindrance, this has to be opened until now.

Since those miners eat inside and out, the mine can't get rid of it in time.

It happens to be a place to gather "popularity", and it is worth exchanging a mine for the safety of other industries.

"Brother Laiwang, you also have to be considerate of the master's hard work, it's not that the master doesn't give those miners the money to start work, it's really that the mine doesn't have a high income, even if you want to revitalize, you have to revitalize the business of our shops first, isn't it?"

In addition to Qiao Laiwang, there were also shopkeepers of other shops who came to ask for silver to use as a circumstance.

The people invited by the shops, after hearing that the Qiao family was going to fall, began to be impetuous, either thinking about changing jobs, or thinking about taking the opportunity to let the main family have more wages to compensate for the fact that they were always beaten and scolded by guests who came to find trouble for no reason.

Master Qiao naturally attaches great importance to these shops with high profits on weekdays, and the people who were beaten and scolded resisted a lot of grievances for the Qiao family, and he was also happy to spend money to buy peace.

And without waiting for the second time for those in charge, he sent for the treasury to fetch the money.

Qiao Laiwang, who was watching on the side, had tears in his eyes and a fire in his heart.

Just because the mine is no longer making money, is he, the person in charge, not welcomed?

Also, the old man dragged the silver and didn't want to pay off the debt with the minerals, in other words, in normal times, those miners only need to get the money, but now those merchants who are secretly eyeing each other, where will they easily stop.

In the end, things got bigger and bigger, but I was afraid that there would really be a bloody case, and he was the first to be pushed out to carry the black pot!

"Master, since you don't think the mine is making money, you might as well sell it!"

After Qiao Laiwang endured a lot of mocking eyes, he finally couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

Master Qiao, who was smiling and asking a shopkeeper, how to make recent profits, and how to use the low price to win over old customers, heard Qiao Laiwang's words, and snorted coldly: "Sell, as long as you have a suitable customer, you can make your own decisions to sell it, just Laiwang, you should also understand that those who are waiting to eat white food, I can't wait for us to give the mine to them, but when we bought this mine, with the support of King Jin, it cost 50,000 taels, and you have the ability to sell it, so sell another 50,000 taels to close the account!" ”

Master Qiao's words were like a basin of cold water poured on Qiao Laiwang's body and flowed into his heart.

Fifty thousand taels?

When I bought it for 50,000 taels, it was said that there was a gold mine nearby.

But later it was found that it was a sand and gravel pit, the gold content is very low, and now this mine has been reclaimed for so many years, even if other pits are found to have new mines, but because the scope of ore use is not high, it may take 50,000 taels to buy it, and it may take 50 years to earn back the cost price of 50,000 taels.

Those who wanted to buy a mine for 10,000 taels were all because they had a need and were afraid of the Jin Palace, so they opened this price.

If King Jin has another accident one day, I'm afraid that he won't be able to sell it for 10,000 taels.

Qiao Laiwang saw that the master did not want to sell the mine at a low price and let others take advantage of it, and he still held a fluke mentality, delaying for a period of time, and the Qiao family was able to return to the glory of the old days, but as for what happened during this time, the master wanted to be the shopkeeper and ignore everything, and his mood fell to the bottom.

Never mind.

It's a big deal that his life is gone.

Anyway, he was born as a member of the Qiao family, and died as a ghost of the Qiao family.

"Sir, please rest assured, I will never bother you again because of the miner's wages."

"Come to Wang, what you said is not right, I don't bother you to come, but I can't do anything about it, now the Qiao family is in difficulty, and I have to rely on you children to take care of it."

If Master Qiao blindly shirks responsibility, forget it.

When he talks about money, he also talks about feelings, which is really unbearable.

Qiao Laiwang knew that he had come in vain this time, so he said goodbye and left Qiao's Mansion, and when he saw that there were only sporadic carriages passing by at the gate of Qiao's Mansion that was busy in the past, he had to avoid it far away, and his eyes were blank.

He didn't know how long it would take for the Qiao family to regain its glory.

All he knew was that he was going to be finished.

"Before you go back to the mine, let's go to our house."

An hour later.

Qiao Laiwang reluctantly said goodbye to his newly-born grandson, who was not yet one year old, and went to Qiao's mine.

Along the way, Qiao Laiwang sat on the donkey cart and couldn't stop sighing.

On the road from the city to the outside of the city, the whole person suddenly aged ten years, as if he had walked for ten years.

When he saw the mountain peak of the mine from afar, the nurse who followed Qiao Laiwang asked worriedly: "Steward, what should we do next?" ”

"What else can I do, let's take it one step at a time."

Qiao Laiwang couldn't help but sigh as he learned from the master.

It's just that his face is more bitter and his breath is longer, and this sound seems to have all his strength sighed, and it is better to pass out in the car, so as not to have no face to see those miners, and he will not be beaten by those angry miners.

Thinking of this, Qiao Laiwang regretted that he was in too much of a hurry to go out of the city, and he should have gone to the hospital to buy some wound medicine first.

But not only did the old man not pay the miners, but he also felt really distressed that he had not received the monthly silver that he should have paid last month.

At this time, Qiao Laiwang couldn't help but look up at the gloomy sky, and folded his hands to pray to God.

"I hope a rich man will come down from heaven and take the mine away!"

As soon as the words fell.

Then I heard a shout from behind the donkey cart.

"The two brothers in front, please stand on your feet and help!"

Qiao Laiwang wanted to pray a few more times, but at this time, his mind was interrupted and he looked back impatiently.

This is even more of a lawsuit.

I saw two cripples and a strong man with a black face, driving the ox cart and chasing his donkey cart.

The cow was very strong, and at first glance it was raised by a large family, and it was fed with a lot of grass, maybe overnight grass.

Even the two cripples who were driving the car were full of red light, and at a glance, they knew how much oil and water they usually ate.

Probably because the two cripples had difficulty moving, one wheel of the ox cart kept tilting, as if it couldn't fall down.

I guess I wanted to ask them to help control the ox cart.

But they still have to drive the donkey cart back to the mine, so they don't have time to pay attention to these three people.

"Let's go, let's go faster."

Qiao Laiwang doesn't want to be idle and be a good person, he is desperate now, waiting for God's help, and helping others, it's really idle!

Wang Chao and Ma Yang deliberately chased Qiao Laiwang out of the city, and acted according to Gongzi's instructions.

Originally, I asked Qiao Laiwang and them to help straighten the axle, and by the way, I talked about the topic of buying and selling mines.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Laiwang ran fast.

"What can I do?"

Wang Chao was in a hurry, and he couldn't wait to shout to the front, they were here to buy the mine, let the good ones in front stop the donkey cart, and wait for them.
