Fang Jifan didn’t want to mine, it was right.

Because at present, this mine was given to Fang Jifan and was given for free.

If these mineral deposits need to be developed, the 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, there is no way to guide them, they will not be allowed to migrate at will. Once they move privately, they will be refugees.

Not only that, the Hexi Corridor is also in the hands of the Tatars. If you want to mine, you have to station more troops on the front line of Lanzhou to intimidate the Tatars.

Of course, because this mine is mostly in the mountains, even though the Tatars occasionally come to herd their horses, they dare not go up the mountain rashly. After all, their biggest advantage is riding and shooting. Once they lose this advantage, everything will be empty.

In short, if you want this wealth, you must use the power of the imperial court and the Zhenguo government, and many people need to be mobilized.

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

In Zhenguo Mansion, Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao formulated a plan to mine minerals. First, they allowed a large number of people to go to Hexi, and secondly, they sent a team of flying teams to station in Lanzhou. In short, they had to ensure that they could evacuate the air at any time.

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

On the other hand, this flying ball has given the Tatars a terrifying memory. It is said that the flying ball has become a kind of evil ghost in the minds of the Tatars. Flying balls appear from time to time in the sky, which is enough to make the nomadic Tatars nearby frightened and even flee in panic.

At present, it is just a refugee who comes to the scene. In addition, it is also supported by both the government and the country.

…………

Zhang Sheng returned to the mansion in a daze. The sky was very dim. When he came back in a sedan chair, he felt desperate inside.

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

Regret now...it seems useless.

To be honest, he had no idea when he was on duty in the Ministry of Rites today.

I, Zhang Sheng, have been an official for thirty years, and have been praised by both the court and the country, both inside and outside. But how could I fall into this situation today?

Zhang Sheng thought of this and wanted to cry.

Wipe the tears in my eyes, get out of the sedan chair, and look at my own mansion...

I was reluctant to leave the land. I was about to be gone. Is this big mansion going to be sold? Is it possible to keep it. How can I afford such a big mansion by relying solely on my salary?

So, 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 prince-consored lieutenant. The prince-consored lieutenant is so kind. He also prepared Eli Lilly. He said he has long admired the master's name. Master, you are really amazing. Even the prince-consored lieutenant has long admired you."

“…”

Zhang Sheng's body was trembling, his eyes opened rapidly, and his eyes were immediately congested. Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and slapped the doorman: "I have been looking forward to you for a long time and flipping your pockets in the room!"

In desperation, Nancheng's hometown said something directly and knocked the joyful concierge to the ground.

"Oh." The concierge wailed.

However, Zhang Sheng had already strided hard and entered the house quickly.

……………………

In the hall of the Zhang family.

Fang Jifan sat in his seat, and someone had already poured tea for him. The Zhang family was still very attentive to the arrival of the son-in-law Duwei.

The one who greeted Fang Jifan was Zhang Yuanxi, the son of Zhang Sheng. Zhang Yuanxi actually broke his legs and came with a tough arms with crutches. He limped. There was no way. The female family members of the Zhang family could not meet the guests. Fang Jifan was an extremely important guest. In addition to Zhang Sheng, the only one in this mansion was his son Zhang Yuanxi.

Fang Jifan never expected that Zhang Sheng's son was a cripple. Seeing him working hard with a crutch, he looked at Fang Jifan with ashamed: "The commander is really laughing at me. How inconvenient the students are, they eat tea and eat tea."

"Ah, ah... OK, okay." Fang Jifan hurriedly lowered his head to drink tea: "Brother Zhang Shi is old, can he have fame?"

Zhang Yuanxi smiled bitterly: "It's already 25 years old, he's studying at home all day long, but you also know, what's the use of fame and fortune in this way of a student?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "You can't say that. Look at me, I teach some incompetent disciples and disciples in Xishan Academy. All of these people are useless, and few are useful, but now, aren't they all successful?"

Fang Jifan originally wanted to say that even if it is a waste, it is possible to use waste.

Of course, Fang Jifan did not say these words. After all, he was his disciple. Fang Jifan is a kind person, so he gave them some face.

Zhang Yuanxi just smiled bitterly and said nothing.

Fang Jifan asked again: "What else do you do besides studying at home?"

Zhang Yuanxi said politely: "Only with crutches, I walked around the back garden at home."

Fang Jifan said oh.

But at this moment, Zhang Sheng came in with great enthusiasm, his face was filled with anger. When he saw his son being there, his heart skipped a beat and it was broken.

"Father." Zhang Yuanxi smiled and stood up with a cane with a hard time: "This is Wei Wei Fang, Wei Wei Fang came to visit his father intently."

Zhang Sheng was trembling, but his son was here. Although he was glaring at Fang Jifan fiercely, he was just breathing, but he was not impulsive.

Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Zhangbutang, it's so bitter to wait for you. Your tea is so delicious. I just chatted with Brother Zhang Xian for a while. Brother Zhang Xian is very knowledgeable and very admirable."

"What did you talk about?" Zhang Sheng said nervously.

Zhang Yuanxi was a little surprised.

Zhang Sheng seemed to have noticed something. He didn't want his son to know about the intrigue outside, so he tried hard to suppress his anger and forced out some smiles: "Oh, Wei Fang, if you have time, you can come and visit him. Yuan Xi, you go out for a walk, I and Wei Fang have something to say."

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

He limped out with a cane.

As soon as Zhang Yuanxi left, Zhang Sheng stepped forward angrily: "Fang Jifan, you bully people too much. What else do you want to do? You even want to threaten my husband's family..."

"Don't be excited, don't be excited." Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "I didn't expect that Brother Zhang Xian is disabled and has a strong will. It's really not easy. Zhang Butang... Don't stare at me like this, the visitor is a guest. If you do this, I'll shout."

"..." Zhang Sheng had a blue face and snorted coldly.

Fang Jifan sighed: "Zhangbutang, you have to donate this place yourself. Why do you do the opposite? It's like I'm hurting you? Fang Jifan also donated the mine. Do I have anything to say?"

"I...I..." Zhang Sheng gritted his teeth: "This is my ancestral property, passed down from my ancestors. I have never been greedy or taken over in this life. The court only has such a small salary. I have a family to support me. If one day, if I lose it, what will Yuan Xi do? He cannot be an official, he will not leave the door, and he will not step into the two doors. 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 you Fang Jifan, I, Zhang Sheng, really don’t believe me.

Fang Jifan hurriedly said, "Don't be excited, just joke, but seriously, it's not a good thing to keep Zi here here every day. Fang Jifan is more upright... Well, let's go straight to the point. I'm here this time to send something to Zhang Butang."

After saying that, he hurriedly took out a contract from his sleeve: "Zhang Butang gave the land, which is very admirable, so the prince and I discussed it and could not let Zhang Butang suffer in vain, right? Zhenguo Mansion Mining is about to be established. In the future, it will search for minerals and mine and excavate throughout Hexi. Therefore, the mining industry is divided into 100,000 shares, which is 50,000 shares. The rest are allocated. Each company reserves the funds. Our Jiefan took 200,000 taels of silver and bought 20,000 shares. Here, it is 10,000 shares.

There is a little less, but this is considered the land donated by Zhang Butang. From now on, the Zhenguo Mining Company will divide the profits of 100,000 shares every year, and offer the benefits of this thousand shares on time. Zhang Butang, don’t underestimate it. If the operation goes smoothly, there will definitely be thousands of taels of silver this year. If the operation is good, even tens of thousands of taels of silver is no problem. This...it is much higher than the little crops planted in Zhang Butang’s 10,000 acres of land."

“…”

Zhang Sheng was stunned and couldn't speak.

Fang Jifan sighed: "You have to collect this thing. In the future, you have to receive dividends based on this..."

"I..." Zhang Sheng's old face turned red and he looked at Fang Jifan.

This means that he also gained some benefits from the mines offered by Fang Jifan?

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

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but say, "Can you guarantee... be able to earn money?"

Fang Jifan shook his head: "No guarantee."

“…”

Fang Jifan said: "Everything is under the premise of smooth operation. If the transaction is broken, such as being attacked by the Tatars, or no refugees are willing to go to Hexi to dig, or if they encounter natural disasters and man-made disasters, then it will be over. This contract is just a piece of waste paper because there is no profit."

What a person Zhang Sheng is? He understood what happened as soon as he heard it: "It's really for me."

"Of course." Fang Jifan said righteously: "Zhang Butang doesn't think about what kind of person we, Fang Jifan, are the most trustworthy. Go outside and inquire about it."

“…”

Zhang Sheng was silent.

After a long time, he said, "Actually... I have inquired."

After inquiring, I still have this expression...
