Chapter 205 Chapter 205: What a pair of little enemies
Cheng Shan immediately went to the local government office to apply for mining qualifications and gave Mr. Fu Yin a five-thousand-tael silver note.

Therefore, he soon obtained the mining rights of three mines. After that, he gave Lord Fu Yin rare treasures worth tens of thousands of taels.

Cheng Shan asked his think tank team to prepare a plan, the necessary funds, and everything was arranged before he allocated funds to his subordinates to recruit people to work.

Thirty-five copper coins a day will include a lunch, and a set of winter clothes and quilts will be given after one month of service.

This condition is half better than that of the local area. In just one day, a thousand young and strong men have been recruited.

Cheng Shan didn't want anyone. He held interviews on the first day of recruitment and kicked out all those who were lazy, fished in troubled waters, and took advantage.

It also proposed a three-day probation period. If there are problems with ability and character, people will be fired.

But the other party will be given back money for three days of work.

The mere fact of being paid three days' wages makes the workers very satisfied.

If they don't like the work in the mining area, they can take the money and leave within three days.

The workers are very satisfied, the boss is generous, and the management is kind, so they have no desire to go home.

The taxes in the mining area are very high, and it is expected that one million taels of silver will be paid to the court a year.

……

There are three dishes and one soup for lunch every day, with enough rice and steamed buns, and even fatty pork and oil residue.

Wages are paid on time every month, and everyone will be given a winter coat and a quilt after working for a month.

Cheng Shan would also spend a few hundred taels to give extra meals to the workers.

I just want to work hard every day and earn a little more money to go home and support my wife and children.

He would often invite local wealthy businessmen to have dinner and drinks to discuss business together.

Although three minor accidents occurred and thousands of taels of silver were lost, fortunately no workers died.

Capital
Cheng Mansion
Mr. Cheng read Cheng Shan's letter and kept stroking his long white beard happily.

The three mining areas can bring Cheng Shan 300,000 taels of benefits every month, and it is estimated that the benefits will more than five times in six months.

Because he knows how to behave, no one has caused trouble for Cheng Shan for so long.

Every time he gave a gift or invited someone to dinner, he came with a purpose in mind. He would not send the gift to the other party unless a profitable cooperation was achieved.

Everything is about life.

Therefore, he was very generous in socializing with bureaucrats and wealthy businessmen. Of course, he could not just give money to others, lest they think he was a fish in water.

Even though his father is the prince's tutor, the Cheng family is very powerful, but the strong dragon cannot overpower the local snake.

He did not keep the money for himself, but instead spent some money to honor the governor, giving gifts to every local official and inviting him to dinner and drinks.

On the first day of work, Cheng Shan asked the management to train workers on safety measures.

The next month was uneventful.

Cheng Shan was very satisfied with the remaining 800 workers. They were young and strong, hardworking, capable and obedient.

Three days later, only 800 of the 1,000 workers remained.

I am proud of my third son.

As expected of his son, he is very capable of making money.

Seeing that his three sons and several grandsons were so capable, Mr. Cheng laughed all night long.

I plan to call my youngest daughter’s family to my house for dinner tomorrow to celebrate.

……

next day
Shen Hong went down to the court to take a bath and put on new winter clothes. He took Cheng Yurong, Ruan Ruan, and their four sons to the Cheng Mansion by car.

In fact, they also received a letter from Cheng Shan yesterday. They were all happy for him when they learned that his No. 3 mining area was making a lot of money.

"Mom and dad, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law two, and sister-in-law three, this is brown sugar made using ancient secret methods. Brother Qing specially sent someone to bring it back to you. It is very nourishing for your health.

You can often soak in water and drink it, especially for women, this is a great tonic. "

Cheng Yurong asked Bai Kou to take out dozens of boxes of brown sugar and deliver them to Mrs. Cheng and her three sisters-in-law.

"My eldest nephew, my wife, and Shushu, you four sisters, everyone has a share, you're welcome." "Thank you, aunt."

Each of them took three boxes of brown sugar, each box weighing two kilograms.

Cheng Yurong still had 400 kilograms left, which she kept for Mrs. Tan and Mrs. Li to give to a few of their close friends.

In addition, as the New Year is approaching, brown sugar is needed as a gift.

This stuff is considered a great tonic in the circle of women. If you don’t have a strong friendship, you won’t be so generous as to give away brown sugar.

The three tables were occupied by the Cheng family and the Shen family.

The elders suddenly mentioned Cheng Jinting's marriage. He fell in love with Mrs. Tan's second daughter, who was fifteen years old and not yet engaged.

I hope Cheng Yurong can help with the marriage proposal.

She was shocked: "Jinting, I didn't expect you to be with Yingying..."

She was happy and curious.

Shen Hong's family was also curious, when did the two young men hook up?
It's really curious.

Because Cheng Jinting is an honest and upright person, while Tan Yingying is not as gentle as her name suggests, but has a tomboyish personality.

Outgoing, enthusiastic and competitive.

On the other hand, Tan Huanwan has a gentle personality, elegant and dignified.

"Auntie, Yingying and I have never known each other. We had a casual relationship last year. We met several times at Prince Shen's Mansion this year. She and I had been quarreling for several months over a poem..."

After being questioned by everyone, Cheng Jinting had to tell the love story between him and Tan Yingying.

Halfway through, his face turned as red as cooked shrimp.

Everyone listened quietly to their love story and couldn't help but feel envious.

What a pair of little enemies.

Mr. Cheng and Mrs. Cheng are very satisfied with Tan Yingying as their grandson-in-law. After all, their second grandson is already nineteen years old. If they don't get married, they will be criticized by outsiders.

Start a family and start a career.

You must start a family first before you can start a career.

Cheng Er and Mrs. Liu are also very satisfied with Tan Yingying as their eldest daughter-in-law. After all, she is their son's favorite sweetheart.

And the Cheng family had already reached such a high position that they didn't lack anything, so it was up to him to find his own love and marriage.

What's more, the Cheng family didn't want to find someone with a high status and background, for fear that the emperor would be wary of the Cheng family's power.

Mr. Tan is a fourth-grade official. His position is neither high nor low, just right.

Lower your head to marry a wife, raise your head to marry a daughter.

The Tan family has a good family tradition. Mr. Tan does not dislike Mrs. Tan for giving birth to five daughters in a row, and he has not seen him take a concubine for more than ten years after getting married.

He doesn't even go to places like brothels.

What the Cheng family cares most about is intellectual talent and moral character.

Other things that are not brought to you in life and taken away in death are just passing by and passing through the sky.

Cheng Yurong smiled and said: "Leave this matter to me! I will probably give you an answer tomorrow afternoon."

She knew that Mrs. Tan was also worried about Tan Yingying's marriage recently. In the past two to three years, she had given Tan Yingying seven or eight blind dates, but Tan Yingying was not satisfied with them.

Thinking about it, this child probably already has a sweetheart in his heart.

Then this matter will be easier to handle.

Cheng Yurong believed that Mrs. Tan and Mr. Tan would be very satisfied with this marriage to the Cheng family.

Ruan Ruan said with a smile: "I will have another cousin next year. I am so happy...Second cousin, Ruan Ruan will give you a big gift next year. I hope you and my second cousin will like it."

"What kind of gift? Ruan Ruan, tell me quickly." Cheng Jinyang was very anxious and curious.

He and Qi Yue got married last year, and this little girl Ruan Ruan didn't give them any gifts.
