Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 115 Inquiring About Iron Slag

Zhou Yue's words directly showed that she was an outsider, and she looked like a child who didn't understand anything, playing around, even if she really lost money later, she was willing to do so, and could not be blamed on Mr. Gao.

Now Mr. Gao is relieved. This shop has been idle for a long time. Many people came here, all wanting to rent the shop at a lower price. Don't want to rent, the price is very low if you want to rent, but you don't want to buy.

He raised the rental price very high, and he can make others think that the shop is valuable. If it is really rented out at a low price, and what happened a few times before, then the shop will be completely useless.

It is estimated that this outsider has heard that there are relatively few things before, he does not believe in evil, and he is an impulsive teenager, so it is not surprising that he wants to buy it.

"Okay, but in the future, don't come to me if you have anything to do with this shop, and don't ruin the reputation of my Gaofu." Master Gao said after thinking about it.

Zhou Yue smiled and clapped her hands, "Okay! Then let's go to the Yamen to handle the handover!"

Seeing Zhou Yue's childish look, Master Gao was even more sure that this person was playing around.

"Haha, good!" Master Gao got up, called the housekeeper, and asked the housekeeper to take the deed and go to the yamen with Zhou Yue.

The housekeeper took Zhou Yue out of the gate, Master Gao curled his lips and thought to himself: Young man, you will regret it then!

Zhou Yue followed the housekeeper and Yaren out of the gate of Gaofu, put away the expressions on her face, and thought to herself: Old man, don't regret it then!
She deliberately pretended to be a child playing around, just to let him relax his vigilance, thinking that he was a stunned young man, otherwise how could he buy the shop at a low price?

"Yueyue, awesome!" Zhou Ming quietly gave Zhou Yue a thumbs up.

If Zhou Yue behaved confidently, Mr. Gao would sit on the ground and raise the price in a playful way. Mr. Gao thought that he had sold this notorious shop and made a profit.

He thought he had tricked a kid, but he didn't know that he was the prey who jumped into the trap.

"Third brother, thank you." Zhou Yue winked playfully, and she knew that Zhou Ming understood what she meant.

When they arrived at the county government office, they obtained the deed of the shop. Zhou Yue gave the money to the housekeeper of Gaofu and also gave Ya Ren an introduction fee of ten copper coins.

The housekeeper returned with the money, and Zhou Yue said to Yaman, "I still need to find a shop. If you see something suitable, you can go to this shop and find me."

"Okay, don't worry, my lord, I'll be the first to notify you when I have a good shop!" Yaren smiled and nodded, expressing that he remembered.

"Okay, you can go back first!" Zhou Yue said, she still had something to do and needed to see the county magistrate.

The tooth man nodded, then turned and left.

Zhou Yue took Zhou Ming back to the yamen, the guards were very puzzled when they saw it, why did they come back again?

"I want to see the magistrate, please let me know. My surname is Zhou, and the magistrate knows me." Zhou Yue said to the guard.

The guard saw that he didn't look like he was joking, so he went to communicate. If the guard from yesterday was here, he must have recognized Zhou Yue.

After a while, the guard who communicated came out and came to Zhou Yue, "Master Zhou, please come here."

The guard brought Zhou Yue and the two to the back hall and met the magistrate.

"What's the matter with Mr. Zhou looking for me?" the county magistrate asked.

"Lord County Magistrate, to be honest, I really need your help when I come here today." Zhou Yue said with her hands clasped.

"Is it because of the housing problem?" the county magistrate asked. He thought that Zhou Yue came to him for help because of where she lived. After all, the place she chose was five miles away from the nearest village.

"Yes, and no." Zhou Yue said.

"Oh? What do you mean by yes or no?" The county magistrate was puzzled.

"It's like this. We plan to build our own house, but the materials are limited. We plan to find some iron slag to build roads and build houses, but it's hard to find this iron slag, so we wanted to ask the county magistrate if he has this. Any news?" Zhou Yue explained.

"Iron slag? Is it the waste left over from ironmaking?" the county magistrate guessed.

Zhou Yue nodded, "Yes, it's those scraps. We want to use them to build roads, but we don't know where they can be found."

"There is only one iron mine within the scope of Dongguan Prefecture. It is in Hai'an County next door. It is mined by people sent by the court to guard it. I am not familiar with it." The county magistrate said.

"How many people did the imperial court send there?" Zhou Yue asked, the current imperial court has long lost its deterrent power.

"I heard that there are about 1000 people and some craftsmen." The county magistrate thought for a while and said.

"Lord County Magistrate, please forgive me, this iron mine is in King Jin's fief, how could King Jin give it up to the court?" Zhou Yue asked, it stands to reason that it would be better to mine the iron mine quietly in the fief, how could it be? Let the court know?

"Young Master Zhou didn't know that the Iron Mine was discovered not long after the Dongguan Mansion became the fiefdom of the King of Jin. At that time, the King of Jin had not fully controlled the place, and the county magistrate of Hai'an County reported the news to the capital directly." The county magistrate came slowly.

Zhou Yue nodded, "So someone changed his career."

The county magistrate smiled, "Isn't it? The county magistrate was transferred directly to the capital."

King Jin must have been very annoyed at being teased by others, so Zhou Yue decided to go to Hai'an County to see if he could get slag.

"Thank you for letting me know, my lord. I have something else to do this time." Zhou Yue took out an invitation card from her arms and handed it over.

"In three days, my restaurant will open. The opening ceremony will be held on that day. I would like to invite the county magistrate to give you a compliment and comment on our dishes." Zhou Yue said.

The county magistrate accepted the invitation, "Haha, I like this, don't worry, I will definitely be there that day."

"Waiting for you, don't worry, I guarantee you will be satisfied." Zhou Yue said confidently.

"Okay, I want to see what makes you so confident." The county magistrate said jokingly.

"Then let's wait and see, sir. I'll take my leave." Zhou Yue said goodbye with her hands in hand.

The magistrate waved his hand, "Goodbye."

Zhou Yue took Zhou Ming out of the gate of the county government office, and went to the newly bought shop.

Open the door and look around, the first few restaurants here are all open restaurants, there is no shortage of tables, chairs and benches, and the kitchen is considered complete, which saves a lot of trouble.

The small building still has a backyard. The yard is not big, but the uncle and the others can still live there. When the restaurant opens, they will live here often.

"Third brother, let's go back! Let uncle and the others move here, clean it up, and change the tables and chairs a little. We can open it in three days." Zhou Yue said.

Zhou Ming nodded, "Okay, let's go back first and talk to uncle."

The two returned to the village in a carriage. Zhou Yue saw that Zhou Lin had built half of the brick kiln with a group of people.
