Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 64 Promotion to Hundred Household Officials

"Oh, if that's the case, then forget it.

Anyway, this charcoal, the subordinates are only interested in it for a while, and it is not necessary.

Master Qianhu's words reminded his subordinates.

The subordinates are humble and have limited strength. It is indeed a bit of a dream to want to mine coal. "

Zhao Cheng looked as if he had given up on it.

Wu Chun was dumbfounded.

This is a little different from what I imagined!

Isn't this a bargain?
I think the price you gave is low, you just need to raise the price, how could you not want it?

Do not play cards according to the routine!
"Cough cough!"

Wu Chun coughed dryly again, his old face was a little embarrassed.

"Zongqi Zhao misunderstood. Ben Qianhu just kindly reminded Zongqi Zhao.

Uncle Ling works in the Tianxiong Army, and Zhao Zongqi is rich in money and food, so it is no problem to come to mine coal.

In addition to Dongcheng, Shengou is also rich in coal.

The local dilapidated military households often go to pick them up.

Why not lease it together with Zhao Zongqi?

This thousand households only need [-] of this new type of firecrackers. "

Zhao Cheng pondered, this is Wu Chun's condition.

It is not so much a condition for leasing a coal mine as it is a condition for him to be promoted to a hundred household officials.

This old fox has not made it clear until now that he agrees to be promoted to the hundred household officer!
This is almost Wu Chun's bottom line.

"it is good!"

Zhao Cheng nodded in agreement.

These two coal mines are useless to others.

For Zhao Cheng, it was too timely.

It's been a bit expensive lately.

Although hundreds of people were cutting down trees, as the stall got bigger and bigger, Zhao Cheng found that the money was gradually running out.

He must open up new channels for money.

"Then it's settled.

Huaxingying is not far from Dongcheng and Shengou.

Zhao Zongqi might as well be a hundred households in the chemical marketing business, how about it? "

Wu Chun laughed.

Zhao Cheng was slightly taken aback.

The strong land where he is now belongs to the third fort.

He originally thought that Wu Chun would let him be a hundred households in the third castle.

Unexpectedly, he was actually asked to be a marketing agent.

After a little thought, Zhao Cheng understood the reason.

The chemical marketing operation is located in Nanchui, Xuanfu, close to Shanxi.

Shanshan is now corrupted, and thieves are everywhere.

One day when Bao Buqi has another thief, when he is chased to the sky and has nowhere to go, he will rush to the Xuan Mansion.

Letting Zhao Cheng here can be said to be guarding the door.

"Everything is up to the adults."

Zhao Cheng agreed.

……

Rumble!
Dongcheng Carboniferous Mountain, hundreds of gallops came here.

Several nearby military households were picking up charcoal. Seeing this movement, they were so frightened that they ran away and went into the forest.

Seeing this, Zhao Cheng sighed lightly.

They are all wearing mandarin duck battle jackets, and their flag armor is distinctive, so there is no misunderstanding.

When the common people saw the court officers and soldiers, let alone welcome them, their first reaction was to run away and go into the mountains and forests.

Looking at the expressions of those people from a distance, it is more frightening than seeing bandits.

"The common people worked hard, paid food and taxes, and supported hundreds of officials and frontier soldiers.

However, when he saw his own frontier army, he was as afraid as a bandit. "Zhao Cheng sighed with emotion.

Liu Fei said next to him:

"These people are all terrified.

When the frontier soldiers fought, they couldn't kill the enemy. They would cut off the heads of the common people they encountered along the way, killing the good and pretending to be meritorious.

This is considered good, what's more, someone directly slaughtered the village, cut off the heads of the whole village's young and strong people, and used them to pretend to be bandit leaders to claim credit.

In order to cover up the crime, all the people seen along the way were killed, and the village was burned down with the last fire, which was said to be the work of bandits. "

Liu Fei's tone was flat, obviously he was used to this kind of thing.

Zhao Cheng's face was a little ugly.

In troubled times, human life is worse than dogs.

In history, every time a foreign tribe invaded, the lives of the people of the tribe were like pigs and dogs.

The title of "two-legged sheep" appears from time to time.

Two-legged sheep does not refer to sheep, but to people.

That doesn't just mean being slaughtered, but being treated as food.

He even ate too much, and he became famous after eating it.

The old thin man is called "Rao Bahuo".

Women who have little love are called "not envious of sheep".

Children are called "hegu rotten".

Not just aliens.

The city is full of yellow nests with golden armor, and the leaders of the battle do not bring food, but rely on "two-legged sheep".

……

But they are officers and soldiers now!
This mandarin duck battle jacket was dyed red by sucking the blood of ordinary people.

Not only can it fail to give the common people a sense of security, but it makes the common people fearful like a tiger.

"Da Ming, I can't get up anymore!

What is the use of such an imperial court? "

Zhao Cheng's voice was cold.

What he said made Liu Fei shiver slightly.

These are words of rebellion!
If you really want to spread the word, you will be beheaded.

Fortunately, there are no outsiders here.

Niu Dali and the others all looked indifferent.

Liu Fei wanted to remind Zhao Cheng, but finally opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Forget it.

Zhao Cheng dismounted, stood on the coal mine, and tested it to see if he could sell the entire coal mine directly to the system mall.

It's a pity that the system mall doesn't accept it, and there is no response.

There are several rattan baskets beside the mine.

It was left by the few people who fled just now.

Seeing the officers and soldiers approaching, they were so frightened that they didn't even have time to grab the baskets, so they scrambled and ran away.

Zhao Cheng tried it out, and the system mall accepted it.

"The price including tax at the pit mouth, 980 per ton?"

Zhao Cheng looked at the receiving price of the system mall, and was also a little speechless.

This pricing is really accurate!

Then... get rich!
Mining coal is much more profitable than cutting down trees.

The point is, coal digging is relatively long-lasting, and tree cutting cannot last!

"Here is next to Datong, and when Datong is brought down later, selling coal alone will be enough for the funds needed for early development.

But you can't just dig coal.

In this era, labor costs are low, and factories must be opened.

As long as the factory is open, it is a sweatshop, and it will definitely make a lot of money! "

Now that Zhao Cheng has been promoted to a hundred households, his business is getting bigger and bigger. It is definitely not enough to just cut down trees.

On the one hand, it is necessary to develop multi-channel financial resources and make money from the system mall.

On the other hand, it is necessary to start building its own industrial base and improve the infrastructure construction in the jurisdiction.

"You can't completely rely on the system! Be self-sufficient and self-reliant."

When Zhao Cheng was thinking about it, Zhao Chunfa suddenly came over with a serious expression on his face:

"My lord, there is a village over there...the lamplighter came."

Zhao Cheng's heart sank.

Of course he knew what would happen to the village after the bandits passed by.

"go!"

Get on your horse and head towards the village.

It has been more than a day, and there is still smoke in the village.

Zhao Cheng knows that in this era, the life of a human is worse than that of a dog.

However, when I saw it with my own eyes, I was still shocked.

The streets of the village were littered with corpses.

These corpses died in a very uneasy manner, with either pain or unwillingness on their faces.

As long as it is a woman, the clothes are almost incomplete...

Wild dogs and wolves have entered the village and are gnawing on the corpses.

Seeing Zhao Cheng and his party, they were also reluctant to part with the meat around their mouths. Some made threatening sounds, and some held a limb in their mouths, wanting to go far away to eat.
