The storyteller who walks the rivers and lakes

Chapter 26
In Lu Fei's mind, the mine was actually not a luscious place.

But when he really got the warehouse in his hands, he realized how naive he was thinking before.

It turns out that the whole Lu family is really rich in oil and water, not the caravans leading to various places, but the mining area located in the deep mountains!

"Every month, the family only needs a fixed 50 jin of refined ore and [-] jin of iron. Although Liu Qing said that the mine only has [-] jin of ore per month, the monthly output is not fixed. Those The overseers who manage the mine require the slaves to collect more than the family requires, so the monthly ore output is much higher than the actual report..."

Lu Fei's residence, while looking at the account book in his hand, Lu Fei listened to Song Shan's narration.

Although Song Shan, the captain of the guard, has no right to ask about the output of the mine, he has been here for several years, and he knows many things very well.

"Most of these extra ores were secretly disposed of by Liu Qing. However, he didn't have the guts to swallow all the property he got, and a large part of it was handed over to the family..."

Hearing this, Lu Fei had a mocking smile on his face.

"Give it to the family..."

This kind of talk is just to deceive children.

If it is really handed over to the family, then why bother?Isn't it just right to go directly with the monthly fixed amount charged by the family?
How to say this is also a credit.

Obviously, most of these extra money must have been handed over to Lu Fei's aunt...

After all, Liu Qing was brought over from her family by the eldest lady, so he could be said to be a true confidant.

And the meaning of Liu Qing's existence in the mining area is to help the lady control the resources here!

As for why Song Shan had a hard time with Liu Qing, in the final analysis, it was because of the uneven distribution of benefits.

As the eldest lady's confidant, Liu Qing is entrusted to manage everything here.

Although a large part of those extra benefits were handed over by Liu Qing, he definitely got a lot of benefits from them.

And although Liu Qing has outstanding ability in doing things, he is also very smooth.But his biggest problem is selfishness...

For the benefits he got, he will not let other people share, this is the key to the conflict between him and Song Shan!
Looking at Song Shan, Lu Fei said softly, "Are all the stewards of the four mines and the open-pit mine here from Liu Qing?"

Song Shan nodded expressionlessly, and said: "This Liu Qing has been in the mine for many years, and the managers below are all his people."

Lu Fei nodded, he had thought of this a long time ago.

"Since my lord father handed over this mine to me, then I think you should be able to understand his intentions. Since you are the person in charge here, then I will never allow anyone here who is not of the same heart as me..."

With that said, Lu Fei turned to Song Shan, and said flatly, "It's not mine, so I won't allow him to take a tael of silver from me!"

"Of course, for those who help me, I will never let them suffer!"

Song Shan's eyes fluctuated slightly, but he didn't say anything.

Although Lu Fei is now appointed by the owner of the mine as the head of the mine, who knows what will happen to him in the future?
This Liu Qing promised to help the eldest lady earn money, but what he really relied on was Lu Feng, the eldest son of the Lu family!

Judging from Lu Feng's current performance in the Lu family, he is definitely the next head of the family.What's more, Lu Yun and Lu Yu's two sons and Lu Fei are compatriots from the same mother, so it is impossible to compete with their own elder brother in this matter.

In this way, the best result for Lu Fei, a bastard, is to be an elder or something in the Lu family.Maybe, in the end, it might even be just a steward.

If you follow him, then you will never be able to stand out in the Lu family for the rest of your life!

This was what Song Shan thought, so he chose to remain silent when facing Lu Fei's words.

Of course Lu Fei could guess the scruples in his heart, but now he is really short of manpower, so he can only start from Song Shan.

"Since you can't use the future to attract others, then use the immediate benefits!"

Wealth is touching...

Lu Fei didn't believe that if he really put gold and silver mountains in front of a person, he could still calmly think about things that didn't happen in the future!

Thinking of this, Lu Fei changed his voice, and said, "Captain Song should know how much wealth the mine left over every month besides meeting the family's requirements..."

"I'm planning, from now on, [-]% of the money from the sale of these remaining ores will be used as rewards for those who have made meritorious deeds!"

Song Shan, who was looking at his nose, nose, and heart, suddenly suffocated, then his eyes widened, and he looked at Lu Fei in disbelief.

He really didn't expect that the Fourth Young Master in front of him would make such a big move!
Although Song Shan is only the captain of the guard in Dazhai, he doesn't know the exact figure of how much the mine will have every month, but Liu Qing can get thousands of taels of silver from it every month, so he can guess what's in it. Exactly how many benefits exist.

He didn't believe it, then Liu Qing dared to withdraw more than [-]% of the money privately!
"Please tell me, my lord!"

Song Shan directly bowed and saluted.

Lu Fei has already spoken to such an extent, if he still doesn't make a choice, then Song Shan is sure that the Fourth Young Master will take the knife on himself first!

Although it is very unlikely that the Fourth Young Master will take the position in the future, judging from his handling of Liu Qing and the caravan steward this morning, he should also have some magnanimity and scheming.What's more, his current identity and status determine that it is impossible for them, the servants of the Lu family, to fight against Lu Fei.

If Liu Qing hadn't relied on the eldest lady behind him and his impeccable style of handling things, he wouldn't have dared to play tricks in front of this young master.

Otherwise, he would be directly beaten to death by this son, and the Lu family might not even punish him...

More importantly, Song Shan was really tempted by the benefits promised by Lu Fei!

Seeing Song Shan's performance, Lu Fei, who had been sitting at the top, couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

It seems that I have covered Liu Qing's situation here, and opened a gap...

"Among the stewards or supervisors of those mines, are there any people from you?"

This is the primary issue. If Lu Fei wants to intervene in these places, he must have an excuse.

Song Shan said with a bit of embarrassment: "Yes, there are, but they are just ordinary servants. It's okay to get some news, but other things are not very useful."

Lu Fei frowned suddenly.

Now he also somewhat understands why Song Shan, as the captain of the guard here, is considered one of the tallest people in this mine, and finally he was forced to such an extent by that Liu Qing!
