Chapter 109
The next day, Bai Fu arrived at the mine safely under the escort of Chang Ming.

"Changming, your He Family Mine is really big!"

Bai Fu looked around in awe--
The mountains are rolling and rolling, and you can vaguely see the large and small flags hidden in it. When I heard that those hills with yellow flags were all owned by the He family, I couldn't help but feel happy.

It seems that what He Er said is true, the mine of the He family is no smaller than that of the Wang family and the Jin family.

In this area alone, the scale of the He family mine far exceeded Bai Fu's original expectations.

This is a coal mine resource that cannot be dug in several lifetimes!
What's more, the He family is not only here, but also on the other side of the mountain, but unfortunately she can't find any other excuse to see it.

"That's natural, it's all passed down from our ancestors. Our ancestors of the He family were the first to dig mines in Wuhai Town. What a glorious time it was."

Chang Ming said proudly.

His tone was somewhat reminiscent:

"Back then, when people talked about coal, the world only knew about the He family in Wuhai. The He family made a fortune because of this and became the richest businessman in Anzhou."

Bai Fu glanced at him.

"Then why is the He family not as good as the Wang family and the Jin family?"

When I was walking around the town that day, the Wang family and the Jin family were the most talked about, and the He family was only mentioned in passing. Now Changming talked about the past in both in and out, which shows that the He family was only once brilliant.

He choked with a long cry.

His expression suddenly became a little embarrassing, this young master Bai really didn't know which pot to open and which pot to carry.

"That's not because the men of the He family have accidents one after another. The old lady is a housewife, so naturally she can't compete with the vicious Jin family and the Wang family—"

The proud showing off just now disappeared in an instant, and Changming changed into a resentful demeanor.

"Oh? How do you say that?" Bai Fu guided him to continue talking.

Today she strongly asked Guo Liulang not to follow, she just wanted to ask some inside information, so she couldn't miss this opportunity.

"The heads of the Jin family and the Wang family were just the stewards of our He family's mine back then. The old lady treated them sincerely, but they did everything they could. Coal Mine Division, restrict the He family.

And they used the power of the coal mining company to make profits for themselves, but after 20 years of hard work, they made a lot of money. "

Bai Fu nodded, thinking about it.

What the He family lacks is not only a male, but also a backer, otherwise how could they be suppressed by several housekeepers.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

Without a backer, what if the coking coal business becomes bigger in the future and is coveted and robbed?
She managed to get two dividends from the coking coal business from Guo Liulang's iron cock. In the future, she will rely on this dividend to purchase anthracite. It is impossible to be robbed.
"Then how did the Coal Mine Division restrict the He family? Does anyone know the backer?" Bai Fu asked.

Speaking of this, there is nothing to hide, Changming nodded:
"The obvious backer is the prefect of Anzhou."

The backer of the government, this is a little troublesome, Bai Fu pondered for a moment, "And the backer behind?"

"I don't know about this little one, I have to ask the young master and the old lady."

On the surface, it is estimated that the He family will not be able to offend them. If there is someone behind the scenes, the He family may not be able to resist. Bai Fu sighed, and suddenly felt that this deal was not so cost-effective.

For her, starting a business is not difficult, but keeping the business is the biggest problem.

Her hard work has yielded results. If the He family can't keep it, the more you help them fight for it, the faster they will die, and she will not be able to do well and cause troubles all over herself.

It's better to go directly to the Wang family and the Jin family.
But the Wang family and the Jin family look down on her now, and she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to cut in for a while, so she got mixed up with the He family by mistake.

Is this God's will?

"It's God's will, and I see that Mr. Bai is very prudent when he speaks and does things. He is not the kind of person you said."

Mrs. He took the medicine bowl from Guo Liulang and drank it in big gulps.

The servant woman beside her looked relieved.

A few days ago, the old lady was so depressed that she couldn't even drink the medicine. Not only did she drink the medicine today, but her energy was obviously different.

Guo Liulang didn't answer, and silently handed over a plate of candied fruit.

He used to think that way too, but he himself admitted that he was asking for repayment, so what else can he say?

This medicine is too bitter.

Mrs. He frowned and ate a candied fruit, and it took her a long time to recover.

"Why does the medicine seem to be different today?"

Guo Liulang took the bowl and handed it to the maid beside him, and helped the old lady to lie down, "The doctor said that grandma has been worrying too much recently, so she changed a new prescription to calm her mind."

Mrs. He gave an ooh, didn't say much, and asked another question:

"Have you found any new news about the forge iron kiln this time?"

Although he didn't want his grandmother to worry about it, if he didn't tell her that she would definitely think about it, Guo Liulang had no choice but to tell the news he had heard.

"As Mr. Bai guessed, it is the higher-ups who are holding the blame. In order to avoid punishment, Wang Guanshi wants to take our He family as the scapegoat."

he said curtly.

Mrs. He thought for a while, "Who is the person above? Is it related to the gang of the Wang family and the Jin family of the Coal Mine Department?"

"It is said that the military department is pursuing responsibility, and the regent came to Anzhou to investigate in person." Guo Liulang replied, pausing, "I have not found any connection with the Wang family and the Jin family for the time being."

There's none?
Suspicion flashed in Mrs. He's eyes.

Over the years, the Wang family and the Jin family have thought of ways to rectify the He family. Ever since the He family's coal was selected by the iron kiln, those people have become even more restless. Will this matter have nothing to do with them?
Knowing what his grandmother was thinking, Guo Liulang hurriedly explained:

"The Wang family and the Jin family are not that capable of establishing a relationship with the regent. I heard that after the regent came to Anzhou, he lived in the government office of Anzhou. The heads of the Wang family and the Jin family went to see him in person, but they were driven back directly by the soldiers at the gate."

"What is the purpose of their request to see the Prince Regent?" Mrs. He still frowned, "Could it be that even the Prince Regent dares to bribe you with money?"

Guo Liulang smiled.

"What a heroic man the regent is, how can he be like those people? Don't worry about it, grandma, just rest."

"My lord, why do you think the regent does not want to see us?"

In the backyard of the government office, a rich man sat on the lower head of Anzhizhou and asked with a disturbed expression.

In the past, when the regent went out, if someone came to present treasures, the people of the regent would send people out to meet them, why didn't they see them?
An Zhizhou drank his tea slowly, not in a hurry.

"The regent doesn't even see me, what are you?" He said indifferently for a long while.

The rich man smiled sarcastically.

"I heard that the regent likes to collect rare objects. I have prepared some small gifts and want to dedicate them to the regent to show the admiration of the people of Anzhou."

An Zhizhou snorted, "What have you prepared?"

The rich master's eyes flickered, and he scolded the old thief in his heart and wanted to make a profit. Is the usual filial piety too little?

"They are all crops," he said politely, "We are a specialty of Wuhai Town."

"Then it's no wonder I don't see you." An Zhizhou curled his lips and shook his head inscrutablely, "I'm afraid the regent has collected a lot of rare crops in the past two years. How can you catch the eye, why don't you send some practical ones?" of."

actual?
Master Fugui understood and left thoughtfully.

"Son, we're here"

The two walked for a while, Chang Ming suddenly stopped and said.

Bai Fu quickly regained his composure and looked around. There was a mine in front of him, and absenteeism was entering and leaving in an orderly manner, chanting slogans. It was a fiery scene.

"All the coal for the iron kiln comes from this mine?"

Changming nodded, "The coal in this mine is the purest, with few impurities, and the goods supplied to the forge kilns are not sloppy."

As he spoke, he called an absentee and ordered:
"Bring some fresh coal."

After receiving the order, the absentee did not respond in a hurry, but looked up at the steward, waited for the steward to nod, and then left in response.

Not long after, I brought someone back with a few dustpans in their hands.

"These are all mined today, from different mining sites."

Bai Fu stepped forward and pretended to check, and asked Chang Ming to take the coal back to compare with the previous two batches of coal samples, and then asked Chang Ming to take her around the mine entrance under the pretext of checking the terrain, and asked about the surrounding coal mines by the way .

Changming didn't quite understand why he wanted to check nearby.

But in view of the fact that Bai Fu was really sincerely trying to solve problems for them these days, even the young master had some inexplicable trust in him, and when he went out today and asked him to follow the arrangements in everything, he decided not to ask.

Anyway, I couldn't understand it.

The two stopped and went to a position a little far from the mine mouth. Bai Fu took a small hard-bottomed book and a charcoal pencil, and made notes while drawing.

Sudden.

Accompanied by a loud blasting sound, the mountain behind him shook violently, and large and small stones fell from above in an instant.

Changming subconsciously squatted down with his head in his arms, and shouted, "The mountain god has turned over!"

Bai Fu nimbly dodged a piece of gravel, stabilized his body and looked towards the source of the sound. In the distance, there was thick smoke rising from a certain mountain depression visible in his field of vision, and there were more than one place. His eyes widened in surprise——
This is dynamite.

There are such strong explosives in this era?
Before she could think about it, she heard screams and cries coming from the mouth of the mine.

not good!

Bai Fu and Chang Ming looked at each other, then turned and ran towards the mine.

"My lord, there is really oil, there is really oil!"

General B strode into the yard, and before he entered the house, he couldn't help shouting excitedly to announce the good news.

Lego and Lepang looked at each other in relief, brows browning with joy.

"My lord, the young master is indeed protected by the gods!"

"Yes, yes, my lord, quickly send someone to tell the young master, he must be very happy!"

"Clap" sounded.

The regent put down his teacup heavily.

"What does this matter have to do with the son, Lego Lefat speak carefully!"

Lego made a fat meal.

Not good, I got carried away for a while, and forgot that the regent had told me not to reveal the young master's supernatural powers to the outside world, so as not to cause trouble to the young master.

"Yes, it was a small slip of the tongue."

At this time General B entered the room, saluted and handed over a bottle, saying:
"My lord, this is it! After it exploded at the designated location, it kept pouring out. People have been ordered to collect them all, and heavy troops have been sent around to handle them day and night."

The regent took the porcelain bottle, dipped his fingers in it, put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.

"Is this thing really as miraculous as Tao'er said?"

Lego stepped forward, "My lord, the young master said that this thing is something that can't be found. It can not only be used to make fire weapons, but also has many uses in the future. It must be kept in hand."
