From the gate of heaven

Chapter 47 [The magistrate's eldest lady, coal mine preparations]

The preparatory work for the establishment of the coal mine has been completely completed here.

It is completely foreseeable that many local powerful factions will gather to support the coal mine and make money.

Next, it's time for the official action.

"Then I'll take my leave first, and go back to do some preparatory work. In the past two days, I will officially start working on the operation of the coal mine."

After discussing business matters, Lin Ze directly handed over his hand and said goodbye.

"Zi Yi, walk slowly."

Several officials smiled and stood up, ready to send Lin Ze off.

"No need to send."

Lin Ze smiled and waved his hands, then turned and left.

"It's really a hero out of a boy."

Looking at the back of Lin Ze who left, Zhixian Li He couldn't help expressing emotion.
-
"If you want to start a coal mine, you first need to build supporting buildings in the mining area, warehouses for storing coal, canteens for workers to eat, dormitories for accommodation, and bathrooms for bathing. In addition, there are public toilets and roads for transporting coal."

"It may take some time to build these buildings and roads. I just take advantage of this time to recruit miners. Now it is just when the busy farming is coming to an end. It is not difficult to recruit people to be miners at this time."

"Besides, we need to prepare mining tools such as mining picks, bamboo baskets for transporting coal, and shoulder poles in advance, and contact the grain shop to provide grain and vegetables to the coal mine on time and in large quantities."

As he walked out, Lin Ze was thinking about what to do next in his mind.

"Ding dong."

When passing by the garden, there is a crisp, melodious and euphemistic piano sound.

In this slightly higher temperature of summer, it is like a cool breeze that soothes the heat in the heart.

Lin Ze subconsciously followed the direction of the piano sound.

Then I saw in a pavilion in the garden, there was a girl with a delicate face covered by a light gauze, with exquisite curves, just like a lady in a painting.

The other party was smiling at the corner of his mouth at the moment, playing the piano with full attention towards the small lake in the garden.

From the sound of the piano, it is not difficult to hear that the girl is in a good mood.

Looking at the beautiful girl with a cheerful smile, Lin Ze's mood also became happy.

"Mr. Lin, this is my eldest lady."

On the side, Dajiang introduced.

Although Li He, the county magistrate, was rejected to see him off in person, his housekeeper Da Jiang sent Lin Ze out of the county government instead of him.

Miss Li's boudoir name was not mentioned, this is something that only the family members can know.

In this era, outsiders generally refer to women as girls from a certain family, not by their names.

"good."

Lin Ze smiled and nodded, then continued to walk away.
-
"how?"

As soon as the housekeeper sent Lin Ze away, Li He couldn't help asking.

At this time, not only Lin Ze left, but the other two officials also went to their own classrooms in the front yard of the county government office.

"Mr. Lin saw the young lady playing the piano, and only said one thing."

Dajiang answered truthfully.

He knew something about his master's desire to recruit Lin Ze as his son-in-law. Today, Lin Ze ran into Miss Li's family. It was Li He's wife who arranged for his daughter to play the piano on the only way to go out. As the housekeeper, he sent Lin Ze out.

A chance encounter deliberately created.

However, this development river did not understand. Is this a success or a failure?

"Really good."

Li He laughed.

With Lin Ze's intelligence, he can definitely see that this encounter was a specially arranged blind date.

Since he said it was good, it was really good.

"Let Madam find a matchmaker to go to the Lin residence and ask Mr. Lin to propose marriage."

Li He smiled and ordered the housekeeper.

He didn't ask his daughter's opinion, nor did he ask the matchmaker's words as ordered by his parents.

What's more, my daughter has been inquiring about Mr. Perak all day long. If she hears that she can marry him as a wife, 1 people will be willing.

And in fact it is.

"Have you ever seen Mr. Lin?"

Mrs. Li smiled and asked her daughter Yunniang.

"The young man wearing the green clothes just now is the young hero Lin Zelin who is known as 'Sir Thunderbolt'?"

Li Yunhua said in surprise.

Mrs. Li nodded, and then said: "How about a marriage, mother?"

Li Yunhua blushed when she recalled the handsome young man she met not long ago, no wonder her mother insisted on her playing the piano in the garden at that time.

She replied shyly, "It's all up to mother to decide."

It's all up to the mother to make the decision, so it's naturally my heart's will.

If you don't want to, then you want to stay with your parents for a few more years.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Mrs. Li's face.
-
On the other side, Lin Ze quickly forgot about the woman he met in the garden, and continued to think about the operation of the coal mine.

It's useless to think about the eldest lady of the county magistrate's family if they don't get married.

Besides, women have no interest in making money.

As soon as he got home, Lin Ze asked his servants to call over Shi Shanbao, the shopkeeper of the dental shop.

Lin Ze bought a house, a servant, and a field these days. He spent a lot of money, which made him a lot of money.

When he was invited by Lin Ze, Shi Shanbao came over immediately.

"Mr. Lin, is there something wrong with the servant you purchased?"

As soon as Shi Shanbao entered the door, he asked nervously.

According to the laws of the Great Zhou, if the purchased servant dies or loses his labor force due to non-human reasons within three days of purchase, the buyer has the right to return the full amount.

It is almost exactly the third day when Lin Ze purchased these servants. Although all the servants were in good health when they were delivered, no one can guarantee whether these servants have suddenly died of sudden illness in the past few days.

"Don't be nervous, these servants are in good condition and have a good working attitude."

"I invite you here this time because there are other things."

Lin Ze said.

Hearing this, Shi Shanbao breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, I heard Lin Ze say: "I invite you here today because I have a business to take care of you. I also invite the shopkeeper to invite three from each industry for the grain store, butcher store, vegetable store, and house builders in the city. If I have business with them, I will pay you the agency fee."

Shi Shanbao didn't ask Lin Ze what he wanted to do, and started to work directly, and went out to invite the shopkeeper designated by Lin Ze.

"Mine picks and salt do not need additional preparations. The salt and iron official camp, Gao Fei, who is the master bookkeeper, can help solve such trivial matters. At that time, he will directly recruit a few blacksmiths in the mine to make repair tools. The needed salt and iron are purchased directly from the iron mines and salt farms run by the government."

Watching Shi Shanbao's leaving back, Lin Ze whispered in his heart.

Next, he will store all kinds of materials needed for the coal mine that is about to start operation.

The reason why we invite three companies from each industry is to avoid getting stuck.

Your material supplier is unable to supply materials in time due to some force majeure, so I can still get materials from the second supplier, and if it doesn’t work, there will be a third supplier.

As for all three companies having problems, they jointly cut off the supply of coal mines.

Then it's time for the county magistrate to make a move, and see if the necks of you merchants are hard, or the knives in the hands of the yamen servants are harder.
