Of course Zhao Xu cannot destroy this ancestral system.

Fortunately, Denglai has more than one gold mine!

Moreover, until now, the largest gold mine is still lying quietly in the mountains of Ye County (Zhaoyuan) in Laizhou, and no one knows about it.

Zhao Xu sent Song Yongchen there just to find it.

In addition to gold mines, local iron ore and lead mines are also important resources.

This time, I found them all!

Today's gold price is roughly one to ten or twelve to the silver price.

If mining is carried out on a large scale, even with today's technology, the income from gold will be at least 10,000 taels in the first few years.

Worth hundreds of thousands!

But Zhao Xu didn't want the government to take the lead and wanted the private sector to mine it.

But he couldn't find a way to inform the world by issuing an edict.

so……

Zhao Xu put away the letter in his hand and told Feng Jing: "Call Shi Deyi... I have something to tell you!"

…

Dingyou (the sixth day of the lunar month) in the ninth month of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

On an ordinary morning, as usual, Wang Daqiang staggered out of the alley next to the martial arts school. He leaned on the wall, rubbed his overwhelmed waist, and cursed: "What's going on in the half-closed door?"

Girls, you really can’t afford to offend me!”

"It's not just money, it's also my life. I'd better come less often in the future..."

He touched the money bag which had only a few copper coins left.

Even if I wanted to come, I couldn't afford it.

The girls in the half-closed door are half cheaper than those in the tiled fence.

But a night of fun would cost three to five hundred yuan!

For a person like him, it is a high consumption.

Wang Daqiang took out all the copper coins in his pocket and counted them.

There are only a few dozen coins left, so I have to find a job.

He thought for a while and then looked in the direction of Bianhe River.

Going to the stacking yard of Bianhe River to fight against parcels is the basis for a small person like him to survive in Bianjing City.

The salary ranges from 100 to 150 cash per day, but the employer doesn't care about food and accommodation, and has to pay a sum of money to the person who introduces and guarantees the job.

Calculated, the daily wages earned are actually only eighty cents.

After working for a few months, after deducting food expenses, you can save at most five or six guan.

It's not enough to live happily in a tile for half a month.

Thinking of this, Wang Daqiang spat and planned to go home to find his mother or elder brother to see if he could get some money to spend.

He had heard that recently, his mother-in-law and his eldest brother's wife, together with several children, weaved sacks for the officials and made a lot of money.

The eldest brother followed Captain Miao and went to Hebei for disaster relief.

I heard someone said that because he discovered a dangerous situation, the Taiwei directly rewarded him with a reward of fifty guan!

With this thought in mind, Wang Daqiang walked toward the outer city where his home was located.

When I walked to Nanxunmen, I happened to meet the butchers under Nanxunmen, driving thousands of pigs into the city.

Thousands of pigs were driven into the city from the "Pig Gallery" under Nanxun Gate at the same time.

The pigs were grunting and dirty, even carrying a lot of feces.

But the big and small butchers in Bianjing City did not dislike it at all. Instead, they stood in the fences on both sides of the Nanxun Gate and looked at the pigs that were driven into the city with their eyes like they were looking at beauties.

They are selecting the largest, fattest pigs with the highest meat yield.

This is a technology!

Without more than ten years of experience, it is impossible to learn.

Wang Daqiang was blocked by the pigs on his way out of the city. He had no choice but to curse and was forced to stay in the fence while the pigs were driven into the pig pen inside Nanxun Gate.

At this time, several children also arrived at the fence, holding a large pile of tabloids that still smelled of ink.

"Selling newspapers... selling newspapers... today's latest Bianjing News..."

Wang Daqiang looked at the children who were wearing ragged clothes and saw money bags hanging on their waists.

The copper coins inside jingled.

He swallowed, and the evil thoughts in his heart began to spread, but he soon got the idea and lowered his head, not daring to look at those children anymore.

Because most of these children are orphans.

There are no adults at home anymore.

But they also carry money bags with them, and the jingling of copper coins makes people's hearts beat.

Therefore, the "heroes" in Bianjing City will naturally not let go of those who are most likely to rob the rich and give to the poor.

However……

Anyone who dares to attack these children will end up in a miserable situation!

Just a few days ago, in Tonghuafang in the outer city of Bianjing, the once most famous hero was arrested by the Kaifeng Prefecture with his fists raised.

I heard that the officials of Kaifeng Prefecture, with almost no interrogation, directly accused him of "robbery and wounding" and sent him to Xihe Road.

Prisoners who are assassinated have to do the hardest and most tiring work.

Ren is a good man, but if he doesn't have a backer to take care of him, he won't be able to survive for three to five years.

And Zhang Da Fist was not the first person to be hit hard by Kaifeng Mansion.

These days, there are at least a dozen similar unlucky guys in Bianjing City who have been assigned to Xihe or Lingnan. There is even a good man who has been directly assigned to Salmon Island.

That is a place known as hell on earth and the Hall of Yama on earth.

People who go there almost never come back!

And these heroes all died for the same reason - they robbed these children who were selling newspapers on the street!

The man who was assassinated on Salmon Island was said to have seriously injured a child selling newspapers.

But now the Ming Dynasty scholar Cai of Kaifeng Prefecture cannot tolerate sand in his eyes. He hates people who bully orphans and hurt kind-hearted children the most.

Legend has it that this Ming government official personally issued death orders to the Kaifeng government officials and the inspectors on the left and right, requiring that as long as a newspaper-selling child reports to the government, he must be dealt with immediately and sternly and quickly!

Therefore, when the heroes inside and outside Bianjing see these children selling tabloids on the streets, they dare not take action even if they know they have money in their pockets.

Faced with the lesson of more than a dozen people, no one inside or outside Bianjing City dared to touch these walking wallets.

Of course Wang Daqiang didn’t dare!

“A new large gold mine has been discovered in Ye County, Dengzhou!”

The cry of a newsboy attracted Wang Daqiang's attention.

Dengzhou, gold mine?

He swallowed and remembered the old legend about gold mining in Dengzhou.

That's not gold mining, it's gold picking!

It is said that the founder of Zhang San Fruit Shop, one of the Shezhe families in Bianjing City, was the same family who picked up more than 30 taels of dog-headed blond hair in Dengzhou during the Qingli Period.

Wang Daqiang thought of this, and immediately stepped forward and said to the child: "Give me a copy, how much does it cost?"

"Five cents!" The child opened his mouth and laughed.

Wang Daqiang was about to curse when, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion standing on the fire watch tower not far away.

So he immediately laughed and counted five Yuanfeng Tongbao from his pocket, handed them over, and said boldly: "Give Sajia one!"

The child took the copper coins, counted them carefully, and then handed a copy of the "Bianjing New Newspaper" that still smelled of ink from his hand to Wang Dagun.

Wang Daqiang took the tabloid and read it in front of his eyes.

He is naturally literate - his father is a member of the Tianwu Army of the Fourth Army.

The Imperial Guards of the Upper Fourth Army were the best treated in the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, there were only two brothers in his family, so naturally he could spare the money to send them to study.

After all, since the True Temple, everyone in the country has known that scholars are the best!

The people of Bianjing will support their children to study whenever possible.

However, their brothers are not material for reading.
