Nanming Engineer

Chapter 84
Ma Chongming was startled, then delighted, the two emotions collided in his head in vain, his face twisted unnaturally, and he didn't care about the dirt and mud of the pit, his obese body quickly jumped into the pit, deep Shouting one foot at a time, "Where is it? Where is it? Show me!" and ran over.

Two miners happily held a white ore the size of a fist, came out from the depths of the pit covered with mud and stone dust, and held it in front of Ma Chongming as if offering a treasure. One of the older ones said overjoyedly: "Really Unexpectedly, there is really a treasure buried in this poor mountain ditch. It turns out that there is a huge vein of silver mine less than five feet deep under this layer of rock. The mountain is a stone mountain, no one thinks of breaking the rock to explore again, that Counselor is really a god!"

Ma Chongming tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart, stretched out his hand tremblingly to take the piece of ore, walked to the sun a few steps, looked carefully under the afterglow, and saw that the whole body of the ore was white, with crystal clear silver crystals shining in it, There are black particles dotted in it, which are lead particles, which are very small in silver crystals. This is top-grade silver-lead ore. A piece of ore weighing two catties, if handled properly, can be refined and dissolved into seven or eight taels of silver ingots. no problem.

Ma Chongming's eyes became hot, he glanced at the deep mine pit and the tall mountain, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, in his eyes, this is no longer a mountain of dirt, but a mountain of gold!It turns out that I have been living my life guarding a golden mountain, so damn stupid.But it doesn’t matter now, haha, these all belong to me, this is my territory, even the mountains are mine, I’m done with it!

"Boss, Mr. Wang is still waiting for you to take the ore up there to have a look." A cold voice sounded inappropriately beside him. Ma Chongming's joyful mood was suddenly startled, and he became displeased. Who?He turned his head and looked, but half of his body became cold again. The person who spoke was Ma Xintian. This young man looked at him with a stern face, with his hands on the hilt of his knife, and a group of armored soldiers followed him silently. Stand in a row and block the exit of the mine.

It was only then that Ma Chongming remembered that this mine was opened by Wang Huan, and the people from the Xuanwei envoy were outside, and the young native official had the final say on the silver mine.

The mood suddenly became complicated, and Ma Chongming said: "Okay, okay, I'll go up." But his heart was like a galloping horse, seeing a huge amount of wealth being distributed to others for nothing, just like his dead father uncomfortable.

Wang Huan sat firmly on the rock without moving, as if it was only natural to dig out the mine veins from the mountain, with a calm face, laughing with Zu Bian, Chen Ergou and Xu Goudan next to him Compared with his face, he was extremely calm.

With complicated expressions, Ma Chongming and Ma Xintian came to the boulder sitting under Wang Huan's buttocks, looked and looked at the ore in his hand, and touched it reluctantly for a long time, as if it was not a piece of ore, but a pile of gold. Finally, Ma Xintian Impatient, urged a little, and then reluctantly handed the ore to Wang Huan.

"Counselor Wang, you are really a god in the sky. If there is ore, there will be ore. It is like turning a stone into gold." Ma Chongming watched Wang Huan carefully examine the ore, and flattered him.

Wang Huan smiled slightly, handed the ore to his ancestors indifferently, and looked condescendingly at Ma Chongming, who was standing under the stone and was a head shorter than himself when he was sitting.

Ma Chongming felt uncomfortable. He looked like a subordinate with his head raised and waiting for the superior's orders. In fact, in the administrative system of Shizhu Xuanwei Envoy, the status of a local leader was closely related to his own power. If you have more people, more money, more land, you can speak louder in the lobby of the Xuan Comfort Envoy. Otherwise, you have to follow the powerful leader with your tail between your legs. If others ask you to pay, you have to pay. When you are a man, you will be a man. When you are good, the rich man is the uncle, and the gun is the second uncle. This saying is also valid in the officialdom.

As for Ma Chongming, although the grain business has been doing well in recent years, he suffered from endless wars in Jiangnan, Huguang, and the waterway out of Sichuan last year because Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan from Kuizhou Mansion, which cut off his transportation road. In business, the cash on hand is getting tighter and tighter. Originally, Qin Liangyu valued him very much and relied on his finances. Recently, he also faintly showed signs of disliking him. He was panicking.

At this time, I realized that I had been overwhelmed by Wang Huan unknowingly, and I immediately became alert. Logically speaking, Wang Huan was just a counselor of the Xuanwei envoy. Can it be suppressed by him?

So Ma Chongming straightened up and raised his head high.

Wang Huan had a panoramic view of the expression on his face and the movements of his body, and instantly guessed what the fat man was thinking about, and sighed inwardly: "I saw money, I didn't see money, I only saw a piece of ore. The man's true nature was revealed.

After Wang Huan thought for a while, he jumped off the stone, grinned at the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Matou man, you have dug out silver mines on your site, and the minerals produced are normally provided by the Xuanwei envoy and You share the profit, from now on your wealth will be somersaulting upwards."

Ma Chongming had a fat face with a thick smile, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Wang Shensheng is happy, but how to calculate the specific profit sharing?"

He made up his mind, this site is mine, and he can't lose himself, otherwise everyone will not want to mine here. Although I, Ma Chongming, have fewer people under my command, there are tens of thousands of natives. When there was a commotion, I didn't recognize anyone, even Qin Liangyu couldn't handle it.

Wang Huan replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Horse-headed Man, I will report the discovery of the mineral vein to my adoptive mother right now, so that she will be happy as well. As for the profit sharing of the minerals, naturally I can't let you, the landlord, suffer, right? It’s up to my adoptive mother to have the final say, so why don’t we go back to Shizhu tomorrow and talk face to face?”

When Ma Chongming heard it, he felt that it was okay. This matter was so important that Qin Liangyu had to make up his mind, so he said straightforwardly: "Okay, let's do it like this!"

The two discussed it, but the mining work could not be stopped. Ma Chongming mobilized all his soldiers and surrounded the mountain tightly, and no one was allowed to enter. The miners who constructed the mine built thatched cottages on the spot. He just stayed at the mouth of the mine and could not go out, so as not to endanger the safety of the silver mine.Wang Huan also retained 100 armored soldiers brought by Ma Xintian as a mine protection force, living with the miners and closely guarding the mine.

The next day, several people hurried back to Shizhu Chieftain City, and reported to Qin Liangyu the news of the successful excavation of the Tubaozhai silver mine and the resettlement of the refugees. Qin Liangyu was also very surprised when he heard about it. After doing it, the impression of Wang Huan in my heart has improved a lot.

After Qin Liangyu's decision, Ma Chongming can take [-]% of the silver mine's harvest, and the rest will be put into the warehouse of the Xuanwei Envoy. This ratio is not small. Ma Chongming can make a lot of money every day just sitting still. From now on, He is naturally very satisfied that he can live comfortably for the rest of his life by walking the bird every day without doing anything.

Qin Liangyu asked Wang Huan again: "Son, this silver mine is all thanks to your efforts. You can ask for anything."

Her original intention was that you have done a lot of good deeds in this matter, and you have solved the big financial problem for Shi Zhu, so you should be rewarded, even if you want to split the shares like Ma Chongming, it is also possible.

Qin Liangyu had a kind face, looked at Wang Huan with gentle eyes, and felt infinitely moved in his heart. He only felt that if his grandson Ma Wannian was as capable as Wang Huan, it would be great. Unfortunately, that kid only knows how to wield a spear and stick every day. If you don't know how to read, you will be a martial artist in the future, and you will have no future.

But when Wang Huan opened his mouth, she almost fell off the chair, and said in a voiceless voice, "You want all the benefits of the mine?"

"Yes, mother-in-law." Wang Huan stood calmly in the middle of the lobby, with his hands behind his back, as if he was talking about something very small. "I want to use all the previous output of the Tubaozhai silver mine to buy food and recruit soldiers, and then build a fort in the neutral city of Wanshou Valley ten miles west of Tubaozhai, and build a refugee city."
