Chapter 432 Construction Completed, Coal Mining Completed
As for execution, Chu Chen had no need to worry at all; they were even more eager to move away from the mountain than he was.
Who knows when the army from Mingzhu City will come to besiege us? The sooner we leave, the safer we'll be.
After Chu Chen returned to the county government office, he received a report from Dong Xue that the house had been purchased.
He also handed Chu Chen a wad of silver: "Young master, this is the remaining silver from the purchase of the house. Please accept it."
Chu Chen reached out and stopped him, saying, "Keep it on your person. When you return to the capital, you'll have some money on you."
Seeing Chu Chen's resolute gaze, Dongxue put away the silver: "Young Master, Dongxue is a grateful person. Rest assured, I will not let you down!"
"That's good. Do a good job. The young master lacks nothing, but he likes loyal people!"
After seeing Dongxue off, Chu Chen took out an air rifle. He had seen many birds on his way to and from Feng'an Mountain these past few days!
Since I'm just sitting here doing nothing anyway, I might as well find something to do!
As for the infrastructure construction in Feng'an County, I won't interfere. Let Zheng Wenkai show off in front of Zhou Shixun!
So, taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he took an off-road vehicle out of his spatial storage!
He called Lao Qin over on the walkie-talkie, and they drove towards the suburbs!
At the same time, Chu Chen placed a map of Feng'an County in the car and instructed Lao Qin to write it down!
From then on, everyone in Feng'an County knew that a high-ranking official had come from the capital.
Every day, he would drive out in a strange vehicle and return to the county town in the evening!
On the fifth day, Old Qin rummaged through the bird in his bowl: "Young master, how about we get something else tomorrow?"
"Um, okay! I'll take you somewhere tomorrow. By the way, have you written down all the maps?"
"Don't worry, young master, all the places with Blackstone Mountain have been recorded!"
In the past few days, although Chu Chen went out hunting every day, he was not idle. He and his partner had explored almost all the coal mines in Feng'an County!
Chu Chen also had some questions in mind regarding the approximate reserves!
The next day, the two arrived at Jinwo Village.
At this time, Jinwo Village had also undergone a great transformation, which made Chu Chen gasp in amazement!
He patted Ren Xiao on the shoulder and shouted, "Infrastructure maniac!"
At this moment, Jinwo Village truly shows what a village should look like!
A dozen or so simple wooden houses sprang up from the ground!
When Chu Chen and his companion arrived, they saw a group of people chanting as they transported timber into the village, piece by piece!
The grain and valuables brought down from Feng'an Mountain were all stored in the house before the winter snow.
Chu Chen went inside and thought to himself, "These people aren't rich either!"
So he asked Ren Xiao, "How's everyone's food?"
"Reporting to young master, everyone is well-fed! Please rest assured, young master!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Chen realized that simply eating his fill wouldn't be enough. With such strenuous physical labor, if he didn't get enough nutrition, it would be a real problem if he became disabled!
So he reached into his pocket and pulled out five one-hundred-tael silver notes: "Take these and improve the brothers' meals!"
When Ren Xiao saw that Chu Chen had given him five hundred taels of silver, he immediately accepted it with both hands!
In fact, their food supply won't last much longer. If they don't have any income for another half month, they'll probably have to find a way to make a living.
But he was too embarrassed to ask Chu Chen for it. However, if Chu Chen offered it to him, the nature and significance would be different!
So he immediately tried to kneel down again, but Chu Chen pulled him up!
"Thank you, young master. Rest assured, we, the three hundred brothers of Feng'an Mountain, will swear to serve you to the death!"
After listening, Chu Chen smiled and patted him on the shoulder!
He thought to himself that this group of people must be the poorest band of bandits he had ever seen since he transmigrated here!
It's not really their fault; Luo Suo basically took all the money!
After saying goodbye to Ren Xiao and returning to his residence in the county town, he saw several large boxes neatly stacked inside the house!
Yi Zhengde, who had not seen Chu Chen for many days, was waiting for him!
"Young Master Chu, this is all the property confiscated from Luo Suo's house. Please hand it over to the national treasury!"
Chu Chen stepped forward and opened a box, only to find it full of gleaming silver!
So he nodded in satisfaction and said, "Brothers, you weren't wronged, were you?"
"Don't worry, Young Master Chu, everyone is very grateful to you. These were all carefully selected by me!"
Chu Chen laughed heartily after hearing this: "In that case, thank you, Lord City Lord!"
Then, the two of them burst into laughter, a knowing smile on their faces!
Before leaving, Yi Zhengde said again, "Thank you for the fine wine, Young Master Chu. Please come to my Pearl City another day so that I can show you some hospitality!"
After Ren Xiao left, Chu Chen opened the box piece by piece, thinking to himself that Luo Suo was quite low-key; this was only his share, yet it was already so large!
That means that Luo Suo has really made a lot of money over the years!
He waved his hand and collected the gold and silver on the ground.
He turned around and walked out of the house!
Half a month later, Chu Chen couldn't even count how many birds he had shot!
Jinwo Village has been completely settled down. Although the houses are simple wooden huts, they can serve as temporary accommodations.
In order to get Ren Xiao and the others to serve him better, Chu Chen sent them another box that he had obtained from Luo Suo!
Immediately afterwards, Feng'an County recruited a large number of workers, paying each person twenty copper coins a day to work for the royal family!
Ren Xiao and his gang also joined the infrastructure construction army as they wished, and no one regarded them as bandits!
That's a complete exoneration!
With nothing to do, Chu Chen took Lao Qin and Xia Mudongxue on a trip through major cities such as Beijing, Qingyun, and Linhai.
This truly showed the three servants how powerful their young master was!
In Linhai City, two maids ran barefoot on the beach, shouting excitedly!
March passed quickly!
That day, Chu Chen, who was resting with his eyes closed in his courtyard in the capital, was woken up from his dream by a walkie-talkie!
"You mean, Feng'an is ready to start mining coal?"
"That's right, young master, Lord Zheng Wenkai requests your presence in Feng'an to guide us in coal mining!"
Listening to the operator's report, Chu Chen got up, said something to Lao Qin, and drove out of the gates of Beijing!
The next day, Zheng Wenkai warmly took Chu Chen's hand and said, "Young Master Chu, everything is ready. Please guide us on the next steps."
After listening, Chu Chen casually spread a large blueprint from the car onto the table!
"Lord Zheng, you know what His Majesty intends to do with this, but it needs to be processed after being collected from the mountains before it reaches the people!"
Therefore, the drawing Chu Chen made was actually a large washing pool!
It took Chu Chen an hour to explain to Zheng Wenkai what water washing and grading are, as well as some other basic things!
"Young Master Chu, are you saying that through these methods, black stones can be turned into gold nuggets?"
"That's right. Lord Zheng is in charge of arranging the coal mining and grading. As for the sales, perhaps His Majesty has someone else in mind!"
"Of course, I, Zheng Wenkai, know nothing about business!"
Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen ordered someone to fetch a basin of water, crush a small amount of coal ore, and demonstrate it to him!
After Zheng Wenkai finished reading, he and his men got busy again!
