Human life is like grass!

Once upon a time, for Shi Yiwen, this was just a text, and I could experience it literally. But now, after witnessing Zhao Mingchuan's death and his father's "suicide for fear of guilt", Shi Yiwen has a full understanding.

"Young Master, let's go back!"

Looking at the broken-headed corpse on the ground, Liu Yu said terrified.

"Why leave?"

Sneering, Shi Yiwen said to Li Feng without even taking a look at the corpse on the ground.

"Brother Li, Brother Cheng, Brother Fang, thanks to you three, I have accepted this love."

It was beyond his expectations that the three coal blackspots did not escape before.

Even if you make a great profit, you will always have to bear favors.

"Young master, I'm so scared, just now, to be honest, I was also very scared,"

Only then did Li Feng find that sweat was on his palm. He was scared just now. If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't escaped, he would have escaped long ago.

"Liu Yu, I'll give Brother Li and the others twenty taels of silver, and I'm supposed to invite my brothers to drink."

"This, this makes."

"How can I not do it? When I reach Mentougou, I have to rely on a few brothers."

If you want to say something grateful, of course you can't just say it. The simplest thank you is money.

"Besides, the road is high and dangerous, and then I have to rely on my brothers."

"Oh, this, why is this good..."

Li Feng looked at the two people around him. He knew the principle of taking money and eliminating disasters. After taking the money, he immediately said seriously.

"Don't worry, when you arrive at Mentougou, if you go to Zhang Luo and a few brothers, you will definitely guarantee the young master Zhouquan."

It is always easy to deal with people who understand it. This amount of money is thanks and buys people.

"In this way, brother Li will be there."

When he continued to walk towards Mentougou Coal Mine, Shi Yiwen looked extremely solemn. The reason why he did not walk out of the mountain was because it was very close to the coal mine. When he arrived there, there were more than a thousand people in those small coal mines... He promised great profits and could always keep his peace, but what if someone set up an ambush on the way back?

"It's still too negligent."

Talking to himself in his heart, Shi Yiwen naturally thought about why the young men and evil young men in the film and television dramas brought a few traits with them when they were on their way. No matter how hard the traits were, they could hold on for a while when they were touched, and someone could send a letter to home.

It seems that I have to bring my servants with me next time I come out.

However, it is not enough to just take the servants. Those servants must have good weapons and dare to fight to the death.

Thinking so much in his mind, Shi Yiwen even moved his mind to those coal blackspots. Whether they were driving mules or digging coal in the mine, they were all fighting for money. Since that's the case, then maybe just use them. It seems that Qi Jiguang's first group of troops were also miners.

Thinking so much in my mind, the group arrived at Mentougou. When they were heading to the mine, they saw several abandoned mines along the way, and Shi Yiwen asked directly.

"Brother Li, why are there no one on these kilns?"

"Young master, these are all waste kilns. Look, there are almost all such waste pits in this garden. They are digging coal and digging coal. They can't dig it when they encounter water. They can only choose another place to dig again. To be honest, it is not easy for coal-colored stones, and the owner of the kiln is not easy. Coal-colored stones are exchanged for money. But if God doesn't open his eyes, the mine that the owner just opened will be watered. At that time, they will be beaten and they will all be compensated..."

Because he felt that the person around him was not ordinary, Li Feng's words were compliments, and even the owner of the mine also compliments. His words only made the two people around him curl their lips. Fang Hu murmured softly, "I have half a bowl of porridge at home, so don't go to Mentougou."

"Oh, then what do the owners of this coal mine do?"

Shi Yiwen asked curiously.

"There are all kinds of things. In the early years, there were slaves from the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital. They thought that opening a kiln made money, but they never thought that opening a kiln was not as easy as they thought. After digging this kiln, after two or three years, the water was seen, and the kiln was abandoned. Then they changed places and reopened. After earning, they only cost dozens of taels of silver a year. Not to mention the high-ranking officials, even those who are slaves looked down on this little silver."

The dignitaries looked down upon him, and Shi Yiwen raised his eyebrows.

"Oh, no, young master, it's not enough to make money by digging coal. It's just a new kiln opened by the Xu family. It only costs four or five thousand kilograms of coal a day. It looks like there are a lot of coal, but it's not worth it. Just like when we pull 100 kilograms, the kiln price is only 50 kilograms, and 100 kilograms of coal is only 30 kilograms. They earn 20 kilograms of this and that. It's only more than one kilograms a day, and more than one kilograms of silver. "There is half a bowl of porridge for the family, but I don't go to Mentougou." There is no way for coal red zi to come. Even the kiln owner, there is no way for them..."

Wow, you don’t make money by opening a coal mine!

This statement is really new. If it weren't for seeing so many abandoned kilns along the way, Shi Yiwen would have really doubted this statement.

But then, in the kiln, listening to Yaodong's complaints, he no longer doubted it.

"Young Master, look, just like this coal mine, you can produce at most five thousand kilograms of coal a day. You can earn ten taels of silver a day, but let's do it. Just a few more than twenty people's wages have to be deducted for more than three taels. In this way, you can earn six taels of silver a day? But Young Master, the things in this mine are all ours, and you have to use wood to top the beams, and you can get the right one. At most four or five taels of silver a day, don't you think you can make money?"

Xu Mao looked up at the sky, and when he saw the dark clouds in the sky, his brows frowned again.

"But the kiln is also based on the weather for food. When it rains heavily, it has to stop. If water is leaking in the kiln and people are buried, not only will the money earned in a few years have to be poured in, but even people have to sue it. A year has to be counted, and it has to be stopped for 30 or 50 days. Then, this kiln may not be able to produce 5,000 kilograms of coal every day. Sometimes, it is better to have 4,000 kilograms of coal if it is more than 3,000 kilograms. That would be good if it could have 4,000 kilograms. Oh, by the way, I have to pay taxes. The tax is coal, and the best piece of coal. I transport it to the city to pay. For example, my mine, I have to pay 170 kilograms a day, which would cost 200 cents..."

After saying this, Xu Mao picked up his tobacco pipe and started to suck. Although the tobacco leaves have been introduced to the Ming Dynasty for decades, they have been spread to the north, but ordinary people can't afford to smoke them.

"The two acres of land I bought are not expensive for more than 100 taels, but it costs less than 200 taels before and after opening a new kiln. God blesses me that if I can open it for two years, I can almost earn more than 1,000 taels of silver. But the kiln is long and short, and whether there is coal in the vein is not transparent, it depends entirely on luck. Look at the young master and tell the truth, who will come to this place if there is a way."

Looking at Xu Mao, Shi Yiwen smiled.
