Huanxi Farm: Pick up a husband for farming

Chapter 107 Changes
It is said that a few days passed after Rong's fried chicken restaurant had a banquet for more than [-] people who came down from the mine. Today, Rongshui also took a little time to come to the fried chicken restaurant for inspection.

As soon as you enter the door, the familiar smell of fried chicken makes you feel good. Now that you have to worry about the mine, you will be less concerned about running Rong's fried chicken shop and other businesses in the future.

Rong Ming is in charge of collecting money and accounts today, and the helpers in the morning have not arrived yet, and the business has not started yet, so he is at ease. Seeing Rong Shui, who has been busy lately and no one is around, he frowned and asked with concern: " Second sister has been so busy recently that she doesn't even have time to come home for a meal, but mother has been nagging her for a long time, and she has no appetite for days."

Rong Shui immediately felt sorry. In the past few days, because the location of the large-scale production of iron ore in the mine has been basically determined, he has to go to the prefect Huang's house every day to discuss the specific implementation details.

Once discussing with Huang Zhi, he forgot the time, and accidentally passed the meal time, so he half-pushed and ate the meal carefully prepared by Liu Shi at the county magistrate's mansion.

When I returned to Rong’s house, it was either at dusk or when night fell, so I hurried back to my room to go to bed. I really didn’t have time to eat half a meal at home. As the saying goes, I forgot to go home when I got busy, but fortunately, the preliminary work of the mine has been arranged. Mr. Huang arranged to find skilled workers for mining and building workshops. I will invest the funds and workers' wages first, and wait for personnel As soon as it is in place, Mr. Huang can start the construction after completing the relevant regulations and laws."

Originally, Rong Ming was also worried that his second sister was too busy.Tired and exhausted, at this time she confessed clearly the results of her busy work these days and she was very happy for her. Now he is getting to know his younger sister slowly.

I like to work hard and enjoy the sense of accomplishment of doing things successfully. Even with this temperament, I don’t know whether I am like a father or a mother. After thinking about it, I shook my head and sighed: "Since my younger sister is a person who does big things, how can my second brother and my family stop you? Just Avoid your body!"

Rong Shui assured: "Understood, brother! There is some truth in the saying that the body is the capital of the revolution."

I don't know where the second sister learned the unintelligible words that people often spit out, could it be the fairy sister?
While talking, Clinique had already arrived at the store, and after saying hello, he started the day's preparations neatly. Rong Shui saw his brother and Clinique blushing after saying a word, it was really fun.

It's just... I don't know how long this ambiguous atmosphere will develop between the two of them. If Ye Changmengduo said it earlier and let the two of them communicate with each other, and marry a beautiful woman into the door of Rong's family, that would be wonderful!Anyway, after the matter of the mine is over, we can start to recommend the marriage of these two people.

Leaving time for the two, Rong Shui said goodbye: "I'll go to the backyard first."

The prefect Huang's mansion here is also very lively. Zhou Jiakun, a well-known wealthy businessman in Jiangcheng, came to visit early in the morning, and brought boxes of brocade cloth, jewelry, and precious medicinal materials to Huang Zhi's yard.

Of course, in order to avoid people talking about it, things were done in a low-key manner, and they were all transported quietly.

Xiao Cui supported Liu Shi and muttered: "Who is this? Zhou Jiakun?"

The ancestor of Zhou Jiakun started his business in the last generation, mainly relying on the cloth business, and gradually took over the entire Tongzhou cloth business through the development of generations. It's still not so good for a famous family.

Therefore, after Zhou Jiakun, the head of the generation, took over the family business, he had some lofty ambitions, wanting to carry forward the Zhou family to a higher level in his own hands.

It's just that Zhou Jiakun himself hasn't read any books, and he is insidious and cunning, with insidious methods, and he tries to think of dirty methods when doing things.

In Jiangcheng, I made friends with gangsters who were rampant on one side, and later assembled them and put them under my command. When I met a competitor in the business field, I sent these gangsters to go to the opponent's shop to cause trouble and ruin the reputation of others. It is also coercion and lure, relying on these tactics, some ordinary merchants dare not compete with them, for fear of causing disaster.

As long as you dare to report to the officials, Zhou Jiakun is not afraid, because the wife Zhou Jiakun married is the niece of the third-rank Southwest Governor Wang Qiaozhi. Close one eye.

Gradually, the cloth business in Jiangcheng became less and less, and in the end only Zhou Ji cloth houses spread all over the town. Although the common people had heard about Zhou Jiakun's insidiousness and cunning, the cloth in the city was cut off by Zhou Jiakun.

When Huang Zhi took office, the county government had a big change. The new master was a local person, and he had already dutifully handed over all the forces in Jiangcheng to him, so he had heard about Zhou Jiakun, but he sent so many people for no reason. The big gift really made people puzzled, and he asked him puzzled: "Boss Zhou, why did you send this expensive gift to my house? You will not be rewarded for no merit, please move it back quickly, otherwise others may see it. There are bad rumors."

Zhou Jiakun is short, about [-] years old, with a rich body, fat deposits on his abdomen, and often walks slowly when he can't walk fast. In contrast, although Huang Zhi is a round older than him, he is well maintained and has a moderate figure Quite strong.

He dismissed his servants, walked up to Huang Zhi and put his ear on tiptoe: "How can Mr. Huang have no merit? Once the mine on the edge of Jiangcheng is discovered, it will not be a great achievement for the court to start mining? When Mr. Huang is in his year When the iron is handed over to the national treasury every year, the emperor looks very happy, and Master Huang is promoted every step of the way, so happy!"

Huang Zhi was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and asked, "How did Boss Zhou know that a mine was found on the outskirts of the city?"

Zhou Jiakun laughed happily, the fat on his stomach trembled.

It turned out that Huang Zhi and Rong Shui brought a group of people to the Rong's house that day, so many people and such a big shock, just happened to be told to Zhou Jiakun by the passing servants of Zhou's family as a strange thing, Zhou Jiakun's eyes were sharp , Thinking about it, I felt that something was wrong, so I sent a few servants to check it out.

Quietly followed Rongshui's team to the mine immediately, heard their conversation, went to check after they left, and then went back to report to Zhou Jiakun.

Zhou Jiakun beamed with joy when he heard that, Mine!Iron mines!What kind of wealth would it be if his Zhou family took it down and mined it?It is no problem to jump directly into the famous families in more than a dozen counties in the southwest, and the richest man in Jiangcheng.

Zhou Jiakun had long wanted to develop other industries, but he was struggling to find a way to make money quickly. Didn't this mine fall into his hands now?
Immediately became ruthless, it is necessary to bribe the government to squeeze out the Rong family and swallow the job privately. It is not only no problem to say that the third generation of the Zhou family has a little bit of money for the merchants and invest in the mine to invest in mining. Is there any reason not to take it down?
But the top priority at the moment is to win over the new county magistrate, Mr. Huang Zhi, so he immediately ordered someone to prepare a generous gift, and quickly visited the door: "Mr. Huang and that girl from the Rong family are so shocked to go to the back mountain to dig mines. You can tell it at a glance! But this matter is not important, does Master Huang intend to seek a businessman to cooperate in mining mines? Master Huang, let me see how it goes?"

As soon as Huang Zhi heard it, he knew it in his heart. He was afraid that when he invited people up the mountain that day, there would be a lot of people on his side, as he said.

And now Zhou Jiakun's purpose is also very obvious, it is nothing more than greedy for the mining rights of the mine, but Zhou Jiakun's character, the evil forces behind him, and the background of the government are really extremely complicated, and it is no different from cooperating with him. To seek skin with a tiger!Not at all.

Not to mention that the cooperation between him and girl Rongshui has been very pleasant in the past few days. Rongshui has a clear mind and a lively mind, and he is an excellent partner in his work. Waiting for the articles submitted by him to be approved before starting work.

At this time, Zhou Jiakun actually wanted to step in and kick out Rongshui girl. He is really vicious and selfish!
Knowing his reason for coming, Huang Zhi did not deal with him politely, and directly issued an order to evict the guest: "Boss Zhou, if this is what you are talking about, there is no room for discussion. Huang has already cooperated with the Rong family. The matter is a foregone conclusion! It's no longer convenient for Boss Zhou to intervene, forgive me, let's see off the guests."

Zhou Jiakun said indifferently: "Master Huang, how can you say it's a foregone conclusion? Has your mining license been approved? Hmph -- not to mention that the Rong family, who has earned a little money in the past two years, can vote for this early stage." Funds? At that time, the money will not be enough, the project will be delayed, and thousands of gold will be lost in a day, and Master Huang and Rong Shui will cry."

Zhou Jiakun looked down on the Rong family with his villainous look, but he didn't expect Huang Zhi to be very difficult.

Originally, when Huang Zhi took office, according to the usual practice, the rich and famous in the city would invite the new local parent officials in turn, so that they could go there conveniently and talk about the details. Refused, Zhou Jiakun was also arrogant, relying on his wife's uncle also disdain to be with these petty officials, so he did not invite again.

Is it because of this?Zhou Jiakun thought about it, but now that Huang Zhi doesn't show face, he is also a little annoyed, okay, I will persuade you not to listen with good words, but you will give in if you want to come to Yin!Huang Zhi and Rong Shui will wait and see!The suburban mine must belong to my Zhou family!
Zhou Jiakun walked away with a flick of his sleeves, and Liu Shi looked at her husband's serious expression and was quite worried: "Master, this... we can't be ashamed of Rong girl, but Zhou Jiakun is really hateful this time, and he wants to take everything for himself. How to deal with it if you use some shady means."

Huang Zhi said: "Madam, don't worry, the matter of cooperating with girl Rong is a certainty, that Zhou Jiakun can't mess it up! This person is indeed cunning and insidious, so we have to guard against him! But I am a county magistrate who is afraid that he will fail."

He tried to persuade his wife with good words, but Huang Zhi was also very annoyed. The little rogue merchant relied on his distant relatives and governors to do his best, and even went to the county government to threaten and lure him. It is simply rampant and lawless!
Mrs. Liu warned again: "Master, I still have to take some time to tell Rong girl to be careful in everything these days!"

Huang Zhi naturally agreed: "Madam, don't worry, I will send someone to notify Rong girl."
