Fang Jifan was right in not wanting mines.

Because right now, the mine was given to Fang Jifan for nothing.

If these mines need to be developed, the imperial court must allow a large number of immigrants to go to Hexi. In this era, under normal circumstances, if there is no permission from local officials, that is, there is no guide, it is not allowed to migrate casually. Once you migrate privately, It is refugees.

Not only that, but the Hexi Corridor is still in the hands of the Tatars. If they want to mine, they have to station more soldiers and horses on the front line of Lanzhou to deter the Tatars.

Of course, because the mines are mostly in the mountains, the Tatars would not dare to go up the mountain rashly even though some people come to herd horses occasionally. After all, their greatest advantage lies in riding and shooting. Once they lose this advantage, everything will be nothing. .

All in all, if you want this wealth, you must use the power of the imperial court and the Zhen Guofu, and you need to mobilize many people.

Such a huge wealth is definitely not something that one person can eat alone.

In the Zhenguo Mansion, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao made a plan for mining minerals. First, they allowed a large number of people to go to Hexi, and second, they sent a team of flying teams to station in Lanzhou. .

On the one hand, it is to prevent large-scale Tatar sneak attacks, which can enable immigrants to take precautions in advance.

On the other hand, the flying ball has given the Tatars enough terrifying memories. It is said that the flying ball has become some kind of evil spirit in the minds of the Tatars. The Tartars were terrified and even fled in despair.

Right now, there are refugees here, and in addition, there is support from the government and the opposition.

…………

Zhang Sheng returned to the mansion in a daze. The sky was very gloomy. He came back in a sedan chair all the way, and his heart was full of despair.

The family business of the ancestors... is gone.

Regret now...it seems useless.

To be honest, he was on duty in the Ministry of Rites today, and he didn't have the slightest thought.

I have been promoted to an official for 30 years, and I have been praised by everyone inside and outside the court, but how come I have fallen into this situation today?

Thinking of this, Zhang Sheng wanted to cry.

Wiped the tears from his eyes, got out of the sedan chair, and looked at his big house...

I am very reluctant to let go, the field is going to be gone, is this big house going to be sold? If you keep it, how can you afford such a big house with the old man's salary alone?

Ever since, Zhang Sheng felt sad again.

The concierge stepped forward: "Master, there is a guest who has been waiting for you for a long time, and he is in the hall..."

"Guest...people..." Zhang Sheng frowned: "Who is it?"

"It's the captain consort, the captain is really kind, and he even prepared a gift, saying that he has admired the master's name for a long time, you are really amazing, even the captain concubine has admired you for a long time."

"..."

Zhang Sheng's body was trembling, his eyes opened sharply, and his eyes were suddenly bloodshot, without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and slapped the concierge: "I've been waiting for you to turn around in your room for a long time!"

In desperation, the words from Nancheng's hometown came out directly, knocking the beaming concierge to the ground.

"Hey." The porter wailed.

But Zhang Sheng has already strode forward and entered the house quickly.

………………

In the hall of the Zhang family.

Fang Jifan sat on the seat, someone had already poured tea for him, the Zhang family was still very attentive to the arrival of the captain-in-law.

It was Zhang Yuanxi, the son of Zhang Sheng, who greeted Fang Jifan. Zhang Yuanxi had a broken leg, and he was limping with a cane in his arms. In this mansion, apart from Zhang Sheng, his son Zhang Yuanxi can only receive him.

Fang Jifan never expected that Zhang Sheng's son was a lame man. Seeing him leaning on a cane with great effort, he looked at Fang Jifan with a face of shame: "Captain, it's just a joke. It's so inconvenient for students. Tea, tea .”

"Ah, ah... yes, yes." Fang Jifan hurriedly lowered his head to drink tea: "How old is Zhang Shixiong, do you have any fame?"

Zhang Yuanxi smiled wryly: "Twenty-five, hey, I study at home all day long, but, you know, what's the use of fame as a student like this?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "You can't say that. You see, I teach some incompetent disciples and grandchildren in Xishan Academy. These people are all crooked, and few of them are useful. But now, aren't they all grown up?"

Fang Jifan originally wanted to say that it can be seen that even if it is garbage, there is a possibility of using it.

Naturally, Fang Jifan didn't say these words. After all, he is his own disciple. I, Fang Jifan, are a kind person, so let them save some face.

Zhang Yuanxi only smiled wryly and didn't say anything.

Fang Jifan asked again: "Aside from studying at home, what else do you do?"

Zhang Yuanxi said politely: "Only walking around in the back garden of the house with a cane."

Fang Jifan let out an oh.

But at this time, Zhang Sheng came in in a hurry, his face was full of anger, and when he saw his son was there, his heart skipped a beat, it was broken.

"Father." Zhang Yuanxi smiled, and tried to stand up on crutches: "This is Fang Duwei. Fang Duwei came to visit father specially."

Zhang Sheng was trembling, but his son was here, although he was glaring at Fang Jifan viciously, but he was just panting, not impulsive.

Fang Jifan smiled and said: "Zhang Butang, it's been a long time waiting for you. Your tea is really delicious. Just now I chatted with Brother Zhang Xian. Brother Zhang Xian is very knowledgeable and very admirable."

"Talk, what are you talking about?" Zhang Sheng asked nervously.

Zhang Yuanxi was a little surprised.

Zhang Sheng seemed to have noticed something. He didn't want to let his son know about the intrigue outside, so he tried his best to suppress his anger and forced a smile: "Oh, Fang Duwei, I'm sorry, it's rare for you to visit. Yuan Xi Ah, you go out for a walk, the old man and Captain Fang have something to say."

Zhang Yuanxi looked at Fang Jifan apologetically, and said to Zhang Sheng, "Yes."

Leaning on a stick, he limped out.

Seeing Zhang Yuanxi leaving, Zhang Sheng stepped forward angrily: "Fang Jifan, you are too deceitful, what else do you want to do, you want to threaten the old man's family..."

"Don't get excited, don't get excited." Fang Jifan said hastily: "Unexpectedly, Brother Zhang Xian, who is physically disabled and strong, is really not easy, Zhang Butang... don't stare at me like this, the visitor is a guest, you If that happens again, I'm going to yell."

"..." Zhang Sheng grimaced and snorted coldly.

Fang Jifan sighed: "Zhang Butang, this land is what you want to donate yourself, why do you turn it around, it's as if I harmed you, I, Fang Jifan, also donated the mine, what can I say? "

"I...I..." Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth: "This is the old man's ancestral property, which was handed down from the ancestors. In this life, the old man has never been greedy or seized. The imperial court only has such a small salary. The old man has a large family to support him. If one day, the old man If it's gone, what will Yuanxi do? He can't be an official, he can't get out of the door, he can't get out of the second door, who will support him in this life?"

Fang Jifan said: "Although he has no feet, he has hands."

Zhang Sheng started looking for knives everywhere, if you don't kill Fang Jifan, I, Zhang Sheng, really don't believe it.

Fang Jifan hurriedly said: "Don't get excited, just kidding, just kidding, but seriously, it's not a good thing to keep your son here all day long. I, Fang Jifan, are more upright... Well, let's get straight to the point. I am here this time for Zhang Butang , sent something."

After all, he hurriedly took out a contract from his sleeve: "Zhang Butang donated the land, which is very admirable, so His Royal Highness and I discussed it, so that Zhang Butang should not suffer in vain, isn't it? Established, in the future, there will be extensive search for minerals, mining and excavation throughout Hexi. Therefore, this mining industry will be divided into 100,000 shares. I, Fang Jifan, took 200,000 taels of silver and bought 20,000 shares. Here, there are 1,000 shares, at least a little less. However, this is the land donated by Zhang Butang. From now on, the annual profit of this town of Guofu Mining will be divided into 100,000 shares, and the profit of this thousand shares will be distributed on time. Zhang Butang, don't underestimate it. If the business goes well, this year After all, a few thousand taels of silver are definitely available. If the management is good, even tens of thousands of taels of silver are not a problem. This...however, it is better than the few crops grown in Zhang Butang's 10,000 mu of land. The yield is much higher."

"..."

Zhang Sheng was taken aback, but was speechless.

Fang Jifan said with emotion: "You have to keep this thing, and you will receive dividends in the future, you have to rely on this..."

"I..." Zhang Sheng blushed and looked at Fang Jifan.

This is equivalent to saying that he also took some benefits from the mine donated by Fang Jifan?

Although it is only a thousand shares, this is a mine, digging for gold, silver, and copper.

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but said: "Guaranteed...can you earn money?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "No guarantee."

"..."

Fang Jifan said: "Everything is under the premise that the business is going smoothly. If the business fails, such as being attacked by the Tatars, or no refugees are willing to go to Hexi to mine, or if there are some natural or man-made disasters, then it will be fine. After the game is over, this contract is just a piece of waste paper, because there is no profit."

What kind of person Zhang Sheng is, he understood what was going on as soon as he heard it: "It's really for the old man."

"Of course." Fang Jifan said righteously: "Zhang Butang doesn't even think about it, what kind of person is Fang Jifan, I am the most trustworthy person, you go outside to find out."

"..."

Zhang Sheng was silent.

After a long time, he said: "Actually... the old man has inquired about it."

I've inquired about it, and it still looks like this...

Fang Jifan was a little embarrassed: "This...Actually...I sometimes offend some evil forces. They always spread rumors and ruin my reputation. So, sometimes, the news I inquired may not be counted. If you want to If you know the truth, you have to go to Xishan to inquire about it. Other places are not allowed."
