Three Kingdoms: Starting from the Need for a Small County Magistrate

On the other side, Shen Wansan and He Shen went to negotiate with the governors of Jizhou and Bingzhou.

Jizhou prefect Wang Fen and Bingzhou prefect Ding Yuan both thought Xiao Yi's proposal was very novel.

To buy all the coal mines under their state! Xiao Yi, what do you want to do? Originally they doubted Xiao Yi's intentions, but when they heard the price offered by Shen Wansan, they happily agreed.

Shen Wan paid a high price of [-] million baht for each of the two states, demanding the ownership of all coal mines! [-] million! It was enough for Wang Fen, who had just taken over Jizhou, to build an elite army.

It is enough to make the poor Ding Yuan raise all the equipment of the army to a higher level! Exchange the most worthless coal mines for huge development space.

The prefect of 2 states that this was a fall in the sky, and for fear that Shen Wansan would go back on his regrets, he signed an agreement without even discussing the price! They were all bought from the hands of aristocratic families, together with the workers and mines.

To the aristocratic families, coal mines are a no-brainer.

It is tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to throw it away.

There are people who are willing to pay for it, and of course they are happy to sell it.

Some noble families even packaged and sold other useless mining areas to Shen Wansan.

Shen Wansan did not refuse anyone who came, and accepted them all! This incident caused a sensation in Youji and the three states, and everyone thought that Xiao Yi was crazy.

Buy some useless mines at such a high price.

What makes them even more incredible is that Xiao Yi actually spent a lot of money to build roads for these....... coal mines! And recruited a large number of workers to mine coal mines.

This back-and-forth investment, at least 2 million baht is needed! No one is not shocked by Xiao Yi's handwriting! Zhongshan Wuji County, Zhen Family! "Recently, Xiao Yi in Zhuo County let his men buy and Ji Er Coal mines in [-] states, and roads are built specifically for coal mines.

The assets invested before and after are almost equivalent to half of our family.

What is he doing so much for?"

At the conference table, Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, called the clan together.

With such a sensation in the three states, the Zhen family, a rich man in Jizhou, is naturally very concerned.

Moreover, they have two large coal mines in their hands!" Now the people of the three states are rumored that Xiao Yi is crazy, and spent such a big price to buy a bunch of junk.

Everyone knows that the use value of black stone is not high, except...forging and smelting, it cannot be used for life at all.

He bought so much black stone mine, he will definitely smash it in his hands and turn it into a pile of waste rock."

Zhen Yi's clan brother Zhen Qian looked disdainful.

The Zhen family is good at doing business, and they are very clear about what is valuable and what is not.

They believed that Xiao Yi made a must-pay deal this time.

"Father, uncle, I heard that Xiao Yi is an extremely intelligent and extraordinary person. We have all seen the paper he invented. The windmill, the threshing machine, and the keel waterwheel are all ingenious things.

How can such a smart person do such a thing that must be compensated? I think there must be a problem here!"

Zhen Yan of Zhen Yi has a different opinion. He has always admired Xiao Yi. Before Zhang Shiping came to buy food, it was he who advocated selling the food to Xiao Yi at a low price and took the initiative to establish a good relationship with Xiao Yi.

His eldest brother died young, his father was frail and sickly, and his uncle was a man with high eyes and low hands.

Therefore, he started to support the family early.

"Second nephew, you're.... Tell me, what's the problem here? Even three-year-old children know that black stone can be used for burning, but coal poison can kill people. , who dares to use this kind of thing to cook and keep warm, this kind of waste stone can turn into flowers when it comes to Xiao Yi's hands!"

Zhen Qian expressed disdain.

Zhen Yan was a junior and didn't dare to argue with him, but he still insisted on his point of view, "Father, we have two big coal mines in our hands, if we also invest a lot of manpower, the annual output of coal is not small.

But if you sell it at everyone's price, there is not much money.

Our Zhen family has no shortage of this money, why should we sell it?

Before he could finish speaking, Zhen Qian impatiently wanted to interrupt him, "My second nephew, I don't have any of this stuff, I can sell it for some money.

If Xiao Yi knows that the blackstone mine is useless, what should I do if I regret not buying it, then our blackstone mine is worthless, and the Zhen family will become the laughing stock of the Jizhou family."

What Zhen Qian was worried about was that the other aristocratic families had sold the coal mines. If the Zhen family didn't sell them now and Xiao Yi wouldn't buy them at that time, they would be... the only aristocratic family that smashed the coal mines into their hands.

It would be strange not to be the joke of others.

Hearing the quarrel between Zhen Yan and Zhen Qian, Zhen Yi was a little hard to decide.

"Forget it, you all have your own opinions, and they all make sense. I don't know what to do. I'd better wait for Mi'er to come back and make a decision."

Zhen Yi waved his hand and temporarily dismissed the meeting.

Chapter [-]

"The madam and the fourth and fifth misses are back!"

Zhen Yi just ended the meeting when he heard the shouts of the servants, and many people crowded towards the door.

I saw a beautiful woman walking in with two delicate and lovely little loli.

The two little loli, the older one is only ten years old, the younger one: only seven or eight years old.

But that...the big eyes of Moe are particularly attractive, and at first glance, it is...a smart little guy.

"Madam, the old man is looking for Fifth Miss to discuss matters."

A servant came over.

The beautiful woman looked at the youngest Loli dotingly, patted her little head and said, "Go, maybe the master has encountered a problem again and needs you to help him make up his mind."

The youngest Loli nodded obediently and followed the servant to the conference room.

"Father, uncle, brothers."

The little loli knew the etiquette very well, and stood aside after saluting.

It is the rule of feudal etiquette for women not to be seated.

Although the Zhen family did not ask her to do so, she insisted on it herself.

"Mi'er, there is one thing for my father that is difficult to decide."

"Is it about buying coal mines for Xiao Jun?"

Before Zhen Yi finished speaking, Little Loli had already guessed, "I heard about this when my daughter was at her grandmother's house.

Presumably Daddy must also be troubled by this."

Everyone has become accustomed to the cleverness of this little girl.

It is not surprising that a strange woman who has completed the Zhen Mansion's Thousand Volumes Collection at the age of six can guess these things.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Zhen family needs to listen to her opinions on many things.

"That's right, your second brother advocates not to sell the coal mine to Xiao Jun, but your second uncle thinks that if you don't sell it now, you may not be able to sell it in the future.

The little money from selling coal mines is a trivial matter, but the Zhen family will become a laughing stock because of this.

It's hard to make a decision for my father, I want to hear your opinion."

Zhen Yi loves and trusts her little daughter very much.

He often told others that the youngest daughter's life will definitely make the Zhen family even more brilliant! Therefore, everyone knows that this little loli's status in the Zhen family has actually surpassed that of the heir Zhen Yan.

"My daughter thinks that both the uncle and the second brother's considerations are not thorough enough."

"what"

Everyone was dumbfounded, how could they not be thorough.

Can it be said that it is not good to sell, and it is not good to not sell it "Mi'er, please explain in detail."

Zhen Yi was a little anxious, why did he feel that the Zhen family had a major event on the table?

Zhen Mi said, "Now, with great skill and daring, Xiao Jun has acquired all the coal mines in the 2nd and 2nd prefectures, not to mention the major families, even the governors of the [-]nd and [-]nd prefectures have signed an agreement with them.

If our Zhen family doesn't sell it, we will definitely have a bad relationship with Xiao Jun.

Xiao Jun's magnanimity may not care about us, and the people who meet him will definitely be in trouble with our Zhen family everywhere.

This is one of them!"

As soon as the voice fell, Zhen Yi was shocked! Who didn't know that Xiao Yi now has the prestige and strength of the unparalleled, and now he is the master of Youzhou! If he is evil, the Zhen family will be unable to move in the north in the future! Selling, must It must be sold! Zhen Yi secretly warned himself in his heart! "My daughter heard that Xiao Jun has advanced vision and extraordinary ability.

He was able to predict the severe drought in the north, so as to prevent it in advance and save Zhuo County and Liao Liao County from drought.

There must be a reason for such a smart person to buy coal mines so generously.

My daughter guessed that he might have a solution to the coal poison!"

There was a strange brilliance in Zhen Mi's cute big eyes.

This idea is very bold! However, it is very possible! "If this is the case, then he will definitely be able to make a lot of money!"

"The Sanzhou Coal Mine produces enough coal to supply the whole country. With that alone, Xiao Yi can become the richest man in the Han Dynasty!"

Everyone in the Zhen family was shocked when they heard the words! Zhen Yi was very satisfied with his daughter, and immediately said the key point.

But Zhen Mi's next words poured cold water on everyone, "Because coal poison is deadly, everyone dare not use it.

If the coal poison can be solved, its value will be multiplied several times! Everyone thinks, when everyone knows the value of coal, those who sell the coal to Xiao Jun will definitely regret it !"

"Yes, the fifth niece is right, it can't be sold!"

Zhen Qian took the call impatiently.

However, Zhen Mi glanced at him and continued, "If we don't sell, these people will become the laughing stock, then they will join forces to boycott our Zhen family because they are jealous of us.

This is the second disadvantage that my daughter said about not selling!"

"hiss--"

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.

Even the nervous Zhen Qian was too frightened to speak.

They absolutely could not have imagined that if they didn't sell their own coal mines, they would offend Xiao Jun, the aristocratic families and even the government of the two states.

Zhen Family, is there any way to survive? Zhen Yi was frightened, and said quickly, "Mi'er, let's sell it quickly, it doesn't matter if we lose some money, we can't offend everyone."

The reputation of the Zhen family has always been very good. It is not worth it to offend so many people for the sake of two coal mines! But Zhen Mi still shook her head, "Father, if we sell it now, we will lose a lot of money.

If we also know the solution to coal poisoning, it is equivalent to giving away two golden mountains."
