"Great Qin Jiangshan is owned by His Majesty, and the small ones have no complaints."

"But right now, winter is approaching, and I can't go back until I have a home, and I have no fixed place to live. How can I survive this cold winter!"

The villagers kneeling on the ground not far away kowtowed one after another: "His Royal Highness, please give us a way to survive!"

"Didn't the village resettle you?"

Fusu asked in surprise.

"The head of the township said that the Xianyang order has been reported, and the specifics depend on the arrangements of the higher authorities."

"Now the weather is getting colder and colder, I really..."

The old man said with a bitter face.

"Just follow the method of demolition households."

Chen Qing suggested next to him.

"Sir, what do you mean by evicted households?"

Fusu asked inexplicably.

"Simple."

"According to the size of each house, the same compensation will be paid to larger houses."

"Moreover, the villagers of Baligou reported Shi Nie's meritorious service."

"I think it's better to distribute some money and grain Lumi every year as a reward."

"In this way, more and more people will report the buried treasure to the imperial court."

Chen Qing said briskly.

When the three old men heard this, their eyes straightened.

They just want to get some supplies to get through this winter.

It was never expected that Chen Qing offered such favorable terms that he could not even imagine.

"Look what I do."

"If you change the year, I'm afraid you are already hesitating to choose a Hummer or a Bentley."

Chen Qing made a joke.

Fu Su thought for a moment: "Just do what Mr. said."

"Don't be impatient, and the Japanese Palace will send people to settle down tomorrow."

"The rice grain distributed every year is also supplied by the Prince's Mansion."

Before the words fell, the three old men quickly knelt on the ground.

"Thank you, His Royal Highness, for your kindness!"

"Your Highness is benevolent, and Xiaomin is very grateful."

"I don't dare to ask for more, please Your Highness choose another place to settle."

The three of them were excited and terrified, and they didn't even dare to take the rice grain that the crown prince promised to reward.

Fusu said a few words of comfort before sending them away.

After a while, the villagers cheered enthusiastically, knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of the convoy, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"In the imperial court, there are only a few competent officials and officials."

"If I hadn't met Ben Gong today..."

"Sir, what are you thinking?"

Fusu noticed that Chen Qing was absent-minded, so he turned his head and asked.

"Prince, I wonder if you would like to do some business with me?"

Chen Qing suddenly talked about something irrelevant.

Demolition households!

Thinking of this enviable name for later generations, he suddenly thought of another famous profession: Coal Boss!

The wealthy families in Xianyang City each control different industries, relying on the huge returns obtained from the monopoly to support their huge families.

Now that the coal mines are all at hand, I don't even think about being a coal boss!

Miscalculation ah miscalculation.

"Oh?"

"I don't know what kind of business you want to do, sir?"

"It's not impossible."

Fusu didn't take it too seriously.

"Get into a big business, mine coal!"

"If I remember correctly, the imperial court distributed the salt affairs to several big salt merchants."

"We have to pay a huge amount of taxes every year to obtain the qualification to sell official salt."

"All the salt they handle is legal, otherwise it will be illegal salt."

"It's better to ask the emperor to contract the coal mine to the two of us."

"You will be the chairman, and I will be the general manager."

"Let's make a fortune together."

"In the future, making movies, acting as a star, and keeping young models will be all a matter of course!"

Chen Qing couldn't help being excited and fascinated when he thought of the gossip news that later generations often saw in the media.

Chapter 115 I Have a Light Pole in Xianyang City

"Sir, you are talking about making movies, what kind of stars are you playing..."

Fusu asked seriously.

"Oh, I'm speechless."

"It's actually a matter of follow-up operations."

"When the main job is done well, we must try to find some side jobs."

Only then did Chen Qing come to his senses, knowing that he had lost his composure.

It is really the behavior of future generations of coal bosses that is too enviable.

After the black gold craze ebbed, even directors in the film and television industry said bluntly: "To this day, I still miss the days when the coal boss was an investor. They didn't have any other requirements except for choosing actresses."

It's pride, and it's not short of money!

"Sir, according to what you said, coal mines are so important, wouldn't it be better to let the imperial court mine them?"

Fusu asked puzzledly.

Chen Yang stared at him with wide eyes.

You are the prince of Daqin, of course it doesn't matter!

I am different!

I don't know that smuggling salt and casting copper and iron will break the law?

Isn't it true that all walks of life are controlled by aristocratic families, and ordinary small households can't get in their hands at all!

Coal mining is a new industry, just take advantage of the opportunity to pocket it...

Then there is a foundation for becoming a wealthy family!

Powerful and wealthy, the difference of one word is the difference of heaven and earth.

"Your Highness, the private sector has always been an important part of the national economy."

"You said before, can the court build [-] hydraulic mills?"

"Yes, maybe it really can't be made."

"But where the imperial court can't control, there will always be local wealthy families intervening."

"Perhaps in the eyes of the emperor and the ministers in the court, they are just local tyrants and bad households, and they have nothing to do with it."

"But in terms of counties and counties in various places, these are people with hands and eyes in the sky."

"It's so convenient for them to want to do something."

"Even the local government is turning a blind eye."

Chen Qing smiled playfully: "We can call these people 'private capital'."

Fusu nodded.

Although Daqin has strict punishments and strict laws, no matter how strict the laws are, there will be loopholes.

Cases of all kinds of favoritism, malpractice, and cover-up and perversion of the law emerge in endlessly.

"My minister is not lying. Daqin is rich in coal mines. If you find all of them in the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, there will be eight hundred if not one thousand."

"If you generalize it, within a thousand miles of Xianyang, there are more than [-] coal mines."

Chen Qing said with certainty.

"so much?"

Fusu raised his head in shock, unable to believe this exaggerated number.

"Of course."

Chen Qing smiled and nodded.

Where is within a thousand miles of Xianyang?

Ordos, Yulin, Shenmu, and most of Shanxi.

Most of the coal in the country is concentrated here. It is no wonder that the large and small mines add up to less than [-].

"His Royal Highness, with so many coal mines, can the imperial court mine them?"

"Of course... not."

Fusu shook his head like a rattle.

"That's fine."

"At this time, private capital like me, who is loyal to the royal family and willing to share the worries of the court, needs to participate!"

Chen Qing said brazenly: "Anyway, rather than taking advantage of others, it's better for us to add two to one and make five, so that the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders."

"Besides, if we have money, it will be convenient for us to do something in the future."

Fusu smiled wryly: "Sir, what you said is quite reasonable. But...if you mine Shi Nie in your private capacity, it will cost you a lot of money. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go to the internal treasury to withdraw money and goods."

He has a kind nature and does not want to take advantage of the first emperor for his own personal gain.

"What money do you want?"

"Don't mention that business is money."

"We can still get things done with the least amount of money."

The carriage has already reached Baligou.

Surrounded by hills, the mountains are low but continuous.

Only there is a narrow, long and flat valley in the middle, which looks a bit like an aunt's towel for later generations.

A group of guards stood guard at the entrance of the valley, and when they saw the prince's chariot approaching, they immediately stepped forward to salute.

Chen Qing looked around at the surrounding mountains, and knew that there might be coal mines buried under the surrounding mountains.

The reason why it was discovered by the villagers when they were digging wells was that the coal seams in the valley were buried shallowly.It is so shallow that you only need to remove the soil layer of more than ten meters, and the bottom is full of coal!

In the distance, you can see a black hill in the village,
