Princess of the auxiliary country

Huo Junyao talked a lot and finally managed to convince her parents. Early the next morning, she left the capital with a large group of people.

Among this large group of people, there were not only her own guards, but also guards from Duke Ji's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion.

There were more than 300 people, and with such a lineup, there was no one who would come to trouble her without opening their eyes.

After successfully returning to the Hot Spring Villa, she immediately asked Grandma Xi about the acquisition of the coal mine.

Last time she originally planned to go to inspect it in person, but she was attacked on the way, so she simply arranged for Grandma Xi to go over to inspect it, and by the way, she would get a batch of coal back so that she could see the quality.

"Reply to Miss, I have already negotiated the price of five thousand guan, and the coal mine has also shipped back a lot. You can go and see how it goes. If you are satisfied, you can sign the deed."

Hearing this, Huo Junyao didn't waste any time and went directly to check the quality of the coal mines. They were all pretty good. It cost five thousand yuan to buy a mine, and I heard that the area was quite large.

For her, this is a bloody profit. After all, the usefulness of coal mines is not small. That is to say, people in the Yu Dynasty do not pay attention to this thing. Otherwise, let alone five thousand guan, even 50,000 or 500,000 yuan may not be enough. Buy it.

I am afraid that in all likelihood it will be nationalized by the imperial court.

She had to start early, but she didn't have any spare money, otherwise she would have to buy a few more.

It is almost foreseeable that as she uses coal mines extensively, the usefulness of this thing will definitely be exposed, and there will definitely be no shortage of people to acquire these mines.

"Hurry up and sign the deed."

"Hongxiu, please ask someone to go to the capital and call my eldest sister and second sister-in-law over. I have something good to tell them."

Since she doesn't have enough spare money, let her second sister-in-law and eldest sister buy it. This thing is definitely profitable, and there is no reason to take advantage of outsiders.

After noon that day, Fang Zhilan and Princess Qingyang came.

Huo Junyao didn't waste any time and directly stated the purpose of calling them here.

After hearing this, the two of them were a little hesitant. Shi Nie and the others knew that the thing was dark and although it could burn, it was poisonous and could harm people's lives.

"It's poisonous because other people don't know how to handle it. I know how to handle it. Not only is it not poisonous, but it also has a huge effect."

"If nothing else, let's talk about iron smelting. As far as I know, most of the methods currently used are firewood or charcoal fire. Although iron can also be smelted by liquid, there will be more impurities, and it needs to be forged repeatedly before the finished product can be produced. iron."

"The output is low for this reason, but this coal mine, what you call Shi Nie, generates temperatures that far exceed those of firewood and charcoal fires, and has a huge effect on iron smelting."

"Right now, this thing has not been taken seriously by people, and the price is very low. Let's buy more now. When the time comes, as this thing is exposed, the value will naturally rise. This is a business that guarantees profit without losing money."

Hearing her high praise, the two princesses of Qingyang also understood the business opportunities in this.

"Little sister, is this thing really so powerful?"

"Of course it's awesome. I dare not say that the value of this thing will skyrocket in just one year."

"I have already bought one, and it only cost 5,000 guan. According to Grandma Xi, the area there is not small. If it is fully exploited, it can be mined for at least a hundred years. If you think about 5,000 guan, what is the value of this thing? How much money can I make from the sudden increase?”

Now both of them were silent, naturally they believed Huo Junyao and the others.

"Sure, then we will listen to you. After we go back, I will ask people to ask around and try to buy one or two."

Even though both families are nobles, they seem to be very rich, but they don't have much spare money to spend. Most of them only have gold, silver and jewelry.

"Second sister-in-law, if you can, you can ask your mother-in-law to buy one or two of them. It will definitely not be a loss."

Fang Zhilan nodded repeatedly. That afternoon, after the two returned, Fang Zhilan went directly to Princess Ningyang and told her about the matter.

Princess Ningyang naturally trusted her daughter's proposal.

"You can make the decision on this matter. Now you are the mistress of our Duke Ji's Mansion. If you think you can do this, just do it."

Sooner or later, Duke Ji's mansion will be handed over to Fang Zhilan. Princess Ningyang doesn't value the stewardship of the mansion that much. After all, she only has one son.

She has control over what she does, and she is very satisfied with Fang Zhilan as her daughter-in-law. There is no need to mess up the family with these trivial matters.

"Your little sister asked you to inform your parents' family. Actually, it's okay. Your little sister is very smart and discerning here. She said she will make a lot of money, so she is definitely not lying."

"Well, my daughter-in-law also believes in my little sister. I will go to my parents' house later."

"Go and pick out some good supplements from the library and take them back."

Fang Zhilan thanked her, bowed and left.

In the next period of time, Huo Junyao began to build her small city.

The first thing she had to do was to enclose all the 300 acres of land she currently owned. To this end, she directly canceled the sale of bricks and cement, which she needed very much now.

As for the manpower, they also directly pulled down the people who were clearing wasteland on the barren mountains. With a team of thousands of people and abundant materials, the construction speed was not too slow.

At the same time, Duke Ji’s Mansion and Princess Qingyang also purchased two coal mines near the capital. The sizes were not large, and the prices ranged from one thousand and a half to two thousand coals each. .

Their actions also attracted the attention of many powerful people.

On the same day, during the next court session, Ning Guogong stopped Huo Jingzhi and asked about it.

"Lao Huo, what's the matter with you? Are you panicking because you have too much money?"

Hearing this, Huo Jingzhi looked stunned and didn't understand what he meant.

As Ning Guogong narrated, he finally understood that it was about the Shi Nie Mine.

"Besides, if you want to buy it, how can you take advantage of others? I don't know, brother, I also have two cars in my hands?"

As a founding hero, he received a lot of rewards at the beginning, including land and mountains.

After Ning Guogong's original reward, there were two Shi Nie mines. For this reason, he even approached the emperor, hoping that the emperor would take back the two mines and reward two more mines.

The Shi Nie Mine was worthless and poisonous, so the Yu Dynasty generally stayed away from such places.

"Lao Cheng, come with me to the office. I have something to tell you."

Huo Jingzhi took Ning Guogong to his yamen door, then closed the door and explained the Shi Nie Mine in detail.

"My daughter said that within a year, the value of this stone nirvana will definitely increase sharply, and it will far exceed its original value. If you believe it, then keep this thing in your hands, don't buy it, and you can also arrange for someone to go there first. Mining.”

"As for what to do next, Xiu Mu, you and I can go outside the city to ask my daughter some other time."

"Is this true?"

Ningguo Gongma became interested, and he liked making money very much.
