Shoushan is a place with many mountains and little land.

Seven mountains, half water, two half fields, is the description of Shoushan.

As they walked, Li Mu and his party came to a small stream. Standing at a high place, they could see the land that used to be fertile land, but now they could only see the traces of fertile land.

Because the two sides of this creek seem to have become construction sites.

Now there are quite a few people working on both sides of the creek, looking for something in the sand from time to time, and some people even wash the things in their hands in the creek.

Then hand it over to someone who seems to be in charge.

Li Mu, who saw this scene, knew that he had arrived at the mining site of Tian Huangshi, and Mei Er's words proved what he thought in his heart.

Seeing that Li Mu noticed the situation at the bottom of the mountain, Meier pointed and introduced, "Master, that's where our family's mine is."

"Some land is our family's fief and does not need to be purchased, while some is in the hands of farmers and requires some money."

"Well, let's go down and have a look." At this moment, Li Mu seemed to have seen what was going on below.

As for whether Meier withheld money from farmers to buy land, Li Mu didn't care. Li Mu had told Meier when he came to Quanzhou.

Don't compete with farmers for profits, after all, that little profit is not enough for Li Mu's profit from a glazed bead.

On the way down the mountain, Meier explained to Li Mu the situation down the mountain. (www.MianHuaTang.la $>>>Cotton, flower 'sugar' small 'say')

Some of the workers working in the Tianhuangshi mining area are farmers in the fief, and some are tenants in the fief after Meier purchased the land.

Li Mu asked Meier about the working conditions of the workers in these mining areas.

It's like a cadre going to the countryside asking how the fellow villagers are living.

It's just that Li Mu is here for the real, not for the fake.

Zai Meier told that the workers who come to work here are all paid, and they can get three hundred copper coins a month, and they will have a lunch at noon.

Hearing this, Li Mu nodded in agreement, expressing his approval of Meier's handling method.

Li Mu knew that those residents in the fief in ancient times should be called tenants, that is, people who leased the land of the fief owner.

Every year, regardless of the good year or the bad year, a certain amount of rent must be paid to the fief owner.

For farmers who have been relying on the sky for a living, their annual harvest can only depend on the sky.

Luck will be the biggest guarantee for them to survive the year.

These same tenants have to work for the master's family for nothing every year, no matter in a bad year or a good year.

Li Mu doesn't want to be a landlord who has always been described as evil.

But he had to stand in this position, so Li Mu hoped that without breaking the original rules, he could give some help to the tenants in his fief through the Tianhuangshi mine.

This point was explained by Li Mu when he came to Quanzhou in Meier.

It seems that Mei Er has completed his explanation very well.

Not long after, Li Mu and the others went down the hill and came to the mines on both sides of the creek.

Those in charge of the mine are the male servants from the Viscount's Mansion in Chang'an, so these stewards will greet Li Mu respectfully when they see Li Mu walking in front.

Work on busy hands.

Walking along the mine, I heard a lot of respectful voices and saw a lot of dug out Tianhuangshi.

When passing by a bamboo basket containing Tian Huangshi, Li Mu picked up a piece of Tian Huangshi from a bamboo basket.

Not big, only a stone the size of a goose egg.

When Li Mu asked Meier to mine Tianhuangshi, he once said how to identify Tianhuangshi.

The three elements to identify Tianhuang are leather, lattice, silk, three elements!

The skin is a layer of stone skin that is formed naturally, and the cracks (usually filled naturally) left by Tianhuang during migration are red or yellow.

Silk is a natural texture that looks like a cut fresh radish. Only with these three elements can it be determined as Tianhuangshi!

These are the three major elements to identify Tianhuangshi.

Among the Tianhuang stones, the best one is the Tianhuang steatite.

Although the stone in Li Mu's hand was covered with a skin, a large area of ​​the skin had fallen off.

Otherwise, Li Mu would not have seen this stone at a glance.

The stone in my hand is just like the description of Tianhuang steatite. When you see the part that has fallen off, it looks like a boiled egg with its shell peeled off. You can see through the sunlight that the whole stone is transparent, like solidified honey, extremely moist.

Li Mu was looking at the stone, and the miners who were working were also secretly looking at their owner, the owner of this fief.

He didn't have the burly figure as imagined, nor did he have the aura of a nobleman, but he looked like a young man next door.

It's just that these miners, standing not far away, always feel that there is a convincing strangeness lingering in their hearts when they look at the owner of the stone.

Although they haven't met Li Mu, the workers working in the Tianhuang mining area have heard some rumors about Li Mu during this period of time.

These rumors were all obtained from the servants of the Viscount's mansion who came from Chang'an.

Of course, these rumors are all good things about Li Mu, although Li Mu is indeed as rumored.

He is tolerant and kind to his servants, never beats or scolds his servants, even if he does something wrong, he will not punish his servants.

At most, it is a verbal rebuke, or if it is too serious, some wages will be confiscated.

These rumors were actually made by Mei Er deliberately by those servants in their spare time to confide in a casual tone.

After all, this place will be Li Mu's fief in the future, and if nothing happens, it will be a permanent fief.

Treating the tenants in the fief well is the way for a family to pass on forever.

Those families who treat their tenants badly will not get help from the tenants when they encounter difficulties.

In addition to being kind to the tenants in the fief, one must also maintain sufficient majesty, which is the attitude that a fief owner should maintain.

To the tenants in the fief, a sense of closeness, closeness and majesty will make it easier to manage.

In the past month, Mei'er has implemented this method to the extreme.

According to those servants, the naturalized viscount is a kind and tolerant viscount, but also a majestic and capable viscount.
