In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 96
The previous model of the Xinzhou Copper Mine was that anyone could come in. The nearby people brought their families to the mine, bought their own food, and lived here day and night. After digging out the copper ore and refining the copper material, they sold it to the government on the spot. It is refined and sold every day.

There is no management, so there were 10,000+ people mining and smelting here during the peak period, and most of them did their own work.

Of course, there will also be a small number of swift people who will organize a team to come and sell them now.

Now that the entire mine was photographed by Qin Zhuo, as soon as the news of the court's price increase spread, local businessmen came to the door, asking to enter the mine to mine, and then share the profits with Qin Zhuo.

For example, a businessman came to the door and said, I will bring 100 people in to mine, and after producing materials every day, I will share [-]% of the proceeds from sales.

Qin Zhuo didn't need to find people, didn't need to do anything, and he was sitting on the share, which seemed to be only [-]%, but after too many people like this came in, his income was also quite considerable.

This is basically the previous model, everyone can come in.

"What does King Yi plan to do?" Qin Zhuo knew that Zhao Yurui might want to train some people, so he would definitely not adopt the previous model.

"We manage the entire mine by ourselves, prevent outsiders from entering, recruit workers from outside, and help us dig mines. We are responsible for eating, drinking, paying wages, digging mines, and training materials. Pay taxes, sell a part to the court, and keep most of it for myself, besides minting money, I have other uses.”

Qin Zhuo said: "In this case, it is estimated that the output will be difficult to reach the highest."

In the past, the miners dug their own, handed over [-]% to the imperial court, [-]% to the mine owner, and sold the rest to themselves.

Now they are working for Zhao and Rui. If the wages are fixed, there will be a big difference between how much they do and how little they do.

"As long as it is properly managed and there are various incentives, the output will definitely not be low." Zhao Yurui said: "And it is easy to distinguish miners by doing this."

"Whoever is serious about mining can be used by me."

When Zhao and Rui want to select soldiers from among the miners, they must give priority to those who are honest, honest, and conscientious.

"Yi Wang is wise, why didn't I think of it." Qin Zhuo's eyes brightened, deeply admiring him.

"Let's go, let's go to Qianshan Mountain first." Zhao Yurui gave an order at this time, turned around and mounted his horse, and everyone followed closely behind, heading to Qianshan Mountain one after another.

Zhao Yurui went to Qianshan along the Xinjiang River, mainly to see the route of the ship, and discussed with Qin Zhuo all the way. Qin Zhuo was shocked when he heard it. Something that no one else can think of.

It is about [-] miles from Nakou Town to Yanshan Tongchang, and you can travel by land or water.

Because they came here on horseback and traveled by land, they saw the Yanshan Copper Field along the river. Zhao and Rui found that there were two waterways coming out of the Tong Field, both of which were branches of the Xinjiang River.

On the left side (west side) is the imperial copper transportation route. It is about two miles from the Tongchang to the river. On the right side (east), it is 700 meters from the Tongchang to the river.

There are several rows of houses outside the copper field, many of which have been abandoned. These are the official offices of the former "Tidiankeng Smelting and Casting Department". The copper coins purchased by the miners are all issued by the Tidiankeng Smelting and Casting Department.

At present, the official office of "Tidiankeng Smelting and Casting Department" is in Raozhou, and it is also the seat of Yongping Supervisor, the largest coin casting supervisor.

The current referee is Zhang Song, a former member of the Ministry of War.

Of course, Zhang Song seldom came to Qianshan Mountain. There were several detainees and dozens of pawns in the Tidian Division.

During the peak period of Tongchang, there were two detainees here every day, more than a dozen pawns took turns in charge of Qianshan Copperchang, and there were even armored soldiers stationed here to prevent the miners from making trouble.

But later, as the rivers and rivers in Tongchang went downhill, the armored soldiers disappeared, and the detainees did not come, and the pawns took turns to be in charge here every day.

Qin Zhuo and Zhao Yurui had just arrived outside the Tongchang today when they saw an official and several pawns talking to people at the gate of the Tongchang. Appearance, extremely arrogant.

On the side of the road, there are some nearby villagers watching.

A large group of dozens of them came to the scene suddenly, and the officials on the opposite side were also shocked, and many people turned their heads.

"The boss is here." Qin Dong, the person in charge of the mine, was overjoyed and ran all the way to meet him.

He was followed by a few strong men, who looked strong and tall, and both Zhao and Rui were drooling. These people may be elite soldiers after a little practice. Qin Zhuo really has a very good idea to buy the mine. .

"Meet my host."

Qin Dong is also a member of the Qin family, and is Qin Zhuo's confidant.

Qin Zhuo didn't change his face, and pointed to Zhao Yurui: "This is the shopkeeper Zhao, and he will be the owner here from now on."

"Zhao Dong's family." Without further ado, Qin Dong paid homage immediately. He should have got the news in advance, and he probably knows who Boss Zhao is.

Zhao Yurui nodded to him with a smile.

"What happened?" Qin Zhuo asked.

Qin Dong turned his head, and the officials over there seemed to be cursing, and they walked this way. Many local or nearby villagers gathered on the side of the road, and they were all pointing.

"That's a detainee officer named Ma from Tidiansi. This guy hasn't been here for a year or two."

"Suddenly heard that the imperial court wanted to increase the purchase price, so he came to the door."

It turned out that the Goya officer surnamed Ma saw that the Qianshan Copper Mine was about to take off, so he came over immediately and offered to contract an open-pit mine with an area of ​​about [-] mu in the southeast of the copper mine, and that area only produced copper mines, which was very rich. .

But he said that in addition to the [-]% that was handed over to the court, he was only willing to give Qin Zhuo half of the percentage.

This is clearly taking advantage of official position to seek personal gain.

The five hundred acres in the southeast is one of the best open-pit mines in the Qianshan Mine, and mining is extremely convenient.

You must know that there are copper, iron, and lead ores in the Qianshan Mine, and most of the copper is smelted from iron ore.

The open-pit copper mining area is definitely the best.

In the past, no one cared about it here, but now the imperial court has doubled the price, and the whole Xinzhou is in commotion.

Not only the surname Ma, but even the nearby villagers and local tycoons sent people to ask questions and want to enter the mine.

While Qin Dong was speaking, the horse Gouba had already arrived in front of Zhao Yurui and the others. He looked at Zhao Yurui who was riding a horse high above, and sneered, "Who is the boss here?"

"My lord." Zhao Yurui said coldly.

Before the word "Ben Wang" was heard on the opposite side, one of the petty officials immediately pointed at Zhao Yurui and cursed: "Hurry up and get off the horse to meet our Ma Gouya, you are so brave."

"Get off the horse."

"Come down." Several petty officials yelled at each other, one of them stepped forward to pull Zhao Yurui's reins without saying a word, with an extremely arrogant attitude.

"A grass girl." Zhao Yurui was furious, and swung the horsewhip: "Bah!" The whip hit the little official's hand.

The little official didn't expect that there were businessmen who would dare to beat them.

The whip whipped for a while, and he slapped it once, and he screamed strangely on the spot: "Ah, it's mine."

But seeing Zhao Yurui pulled the reins, pinched his legs, and the horse under his seat neighed, took two steps forward, ba, ba, ba, Zhao Yurui raised his whip to the little official's face, and the head of the shop Cover the face and pump it up.

"Ah" the little official ran away with his head in his arms, everyone around was terrified.

"Rebellion." Ma Gouba was startled and angry, pointing at Zhao Yurui and shouting: "You are so brave, do I want to rebel—ah——"

Halfway through his words, a dozen teenagers across the street got off their horses one after another.

These teenagers all looked relatively immature, after all, they were equivalent to high school students in later generations, but they all had gloomy faces, firm eyes, and a fierce look on their faces.

"Hit, hit this king, and break their dog legs." Zhao Yurui pointed at the one surnamed Ma and roared.

"Call me." Quan Yong waved his hands at the same time.

More than a dozen teenagers rushed forward.

Opposite them were all grown men, but I didn't expect these teenagers to be ruthless and fierce.

A strong man next to Ma Gouba even laughed when he saw them rushing up: "You little brats—ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"

Before he finished speaking, there was a splash, someone in front of him grabbed ashes on the ground and threw them directly on his face.

"Young lady." The strong man covered his eyes and wanted to back away, but he felt a plop, and someone kicked him in front of him.

"Hmm..." He immediately rolled his eyes, covered his back with his hands, plopped, and fell to the ground on his back.

As soon as several teenagers rushed up, they kicked their faces, kicked their feet, and two people picked up a piece of ore from the side, bang, and smashed it at his calf.

The sound of a broken leg was almost heard at the scene of "Katsa".

"Ah!" The strong man covered his legs and rolled around on the ground, screaming incessantly.

Qin Zhuo, Qin Dong and a group of adults and strong men didn't make a move. At this moment, they were all stunned standing behind.

When King Yi came with a group of teenagers, they didn't say anything, but they didn't take it seriously. Qin Zhuo wanted to ask several times, why did you raise King Yi for so many years? What's the use?I randomly find some strong men in the mine, and one can beat ten of them.

Fortunately, this question was not asked.

Almost a moment later, including the one surnamed Ma, all the Tidiansi had their legs broken, lying on the ground and screaming.

The scene exploded in an instant, and there were many local villagers on the side of the road. Many villagers turned their heads and ran away, wondering if they had reported to the authorities.

Zhao Yurui was still on the horse at this time, and slowly came to Ma Gou'a's side, condescendingly, looking at him like an ant.

These small officials below the Tidian Division are basically local people, many of whom are powerful tribesmen and green skins. They are hired by the government. They are equivalent to temporary workers for later generations. They have no formal staffing. The government takes a fancy to their influence in the local area. .

Only Magouya has the status of an official, but he is naturally worthless in front of him.

"You, who are you—" Ma Gouba endured the pain and looked at Zhao Yurui in horror, his body curled up on the ground, looking extremely pitiful.

"Keep your dog eyes wide open to see clearly, this is the current king of Yi." Quan Yong stepped forward and kicked him in the face again.

"Ah——" Ma Gouba screamed first, and then looked at Zhao Yurui in disbelief.

Quan Yong still has the status of an official in the Imperial City Division, at this time he took out a waist card, waved it in front of him, and said with a grinning smile: "Officer dog, you are dead."

"Damn the lower official, the lower official deserves to die, King Yi, please spare me—" Ma Gouya was like a mourning concubine, he tried to get up, but his leg was broken, he couldn't get up for a long time, he was in pain and afraid.

Zhao Yurui turned to Qin Dong without changing his face, "Where does this person live? Who else is there?"

The surroundings were horrified, and many people on the side of the road heard it, and they all gasped.
