"Everyone has been sent away?" Magistrate Tang saw Master Xu entering the house again from the corner of his eye and said without raising his head.

He was fiddling with the jade piece in his hand, and you could hear that he was a little angry in his tone.

"Master, I sent them all away. I only gave them the basic amount of money. There was no additional reward." Master Xu reported truthfully.

"What about the money for arranging drinks?"

"Sir, I paid for this myself. If I don't think we should provide them with food, I can pay for it myself. There is no need to come out of the yamen for this money."

"No! This money should go from the yamen, so go from the yamen! We still have this money in the yamen! Don't spread the word and think that I treat Shang Bin harshly."

Master Tang looked at this master and felt that this master was stepping on him to gain a good reputation, but he refused to let this master succeed!

"I listen to the master. Master, then should we invite more capable people to come to the mountains to investigate?"

"Has anyone chosen yet?"

"This..." Master Xu wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeves. He really didn't expect that there was really nothing in this mountain!

Even more unexpected. The master actually didn’t believe these people he invited.

You must know that these are already the most professional and capable group of people he can find.

"I guess you don't have any alternatives!" It's not that he really doesn't believe those people's judgments, he just doesn't want to believe the results!

He hoped that these people's judgment was wrong!

But he also knew that a group of people had been toiling in the mountains for so long. If there was really something good, those people would definitely come to him to ask for reward.

The other methods mentioned are just casual remarks.

Do we really need someone to dig out hundreds of holes in this mountain?

If there is nothing by then, wouldn’t he be even more embarrassed!

Master Xu: "If you need me, I will go down the mountain to look for you."

"Humph, Master, Master, don't you want everyone to know about it? Isn't this master's face embarrassing enough?"

"It's a small mistake that a small person wouldn't dare to make."

"I shouldn't have listened to your instigation in the first place! If you hadn't insisted on saying there were treasures in this mountain, and if you hadn't insisted on saying there was no rush, would I still have come to this mountain to cause trouble?"

"Look, how much money is that whole house of broken stones worth? It's okay that the broken stones on the ground are worthless, but they still have to be dug underground! Now, there's nothing! Nothing! Are you happy? You can afford to lose this person, but I can't!"

"Let me tell you, if those of you who came down the mountain today dare to reveal the slightest bit of news about the mountain, I will take it upon you!"

Master Xu knelt on the ground with a bang: "Master, calm down, sir. It's all the villain's fault. You shouldn't talk too much. You made the brothers in the Yamen work in vain. It's all the villain's fault." Master Xu followed many others who served as county magistrates in Tang County, and he also served as master for many years.

He never cared how hard or tired he was, but he rarely knelt down to the county magistrate.

The master has the magnanimity of a master, but also has his own arrogance.

Especially for the Tang County Magistrate, this is the first time Master Xu has knelt down to him since he took office!

Magistrate Tang smiled with some unclear meaning. He did not expect that the master would kneel down on him today.

Magistrate Tang: "Then what do you think we should do next?"

Master Xu hesitated for a moment: "Master, now that we are sure that there is no treasure in this mountain, just continue to sell it according to the original plan."

"Hmph, don't I know if I can continue to sell the mountain? I mean, what should I do with these broken rocks that are red, green, purple, yellow, and yellow! Do I still want my men to move them down the mountain?"

These broken stones cost as little as two pennies and as much as ten pennies. It is really not worth raising any more troops!

If he sells it at this price, even if it is all given to these subordinates who have registered it, it is just such a small amount of money, and they are looking for it "in the name of treasure hunting".

He must be scolded to death by his subordinates!

"Master, don't worry. Why don't we package these stones and sell them to the people who buy the mountain?"

"Oh? How to pack, please tell me in detail!"

"Master, you see, this mountain was originally a barren mountain! Even if the other party bought it, it would cost some money to pull the weeds. Now we have to clean it up! The price for selling the mountain is naturally not the original amount. Besides, we not only pull the weeds Grass, and clean the stones on the surface. Then this is another expense. And the stones of different colors found in the mountains, I might as well sell them to the other party for ten cents per stone. ! This way we don’t have to transport it down the mountain ourselves.”

"Will the other party accept it?"

"Even if the other party seeks out knowledgeable people to inquire about the price, the ten cents we want is not outrageous! If the other party wants the mountain, they must accept the stone! There are two companies buying the mountain right now, and we only need to disclose the news to If they know that there are other people besides themselves who want to buy this mountain, they will definitely be anxious, even if it is reduced from ten cents to eight cents, we will still get a good deal. "

"At that time, the accounting will still be recorded according to the original sales amount. The money from the increased sales of grass, stone removal, and jade will be divided among the brothers at that time, and another part will be left for our yamen's daily expenses. The brothers will get the money, and the yamen will If you have prosperity, your life will be much easier.”

Master Xu told everything about his thoughts. Magistrate Tang hesitated for a long time. To be honest, his idea was no better than the master's method.

Even if he doesn't want to admit the other party's ability, it doesn't stop him from adopting the other party's opinions.

"Okay. Since you are still so dedicated to our yamen, your position will be reserved for now! I will leave the mountain sale to you! Contact the buyer quickly, it is best to find a few more buyers. As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats. If more people buy, the price may go up!”

"Okay, sir, I will listen to you."

"The things in the mountain are over. Let's arrange for the brothers to come down from the mountain! Just tell the public that the physical training is over!"

"Okay, sir. Zhuo Youcai and others are still being detained. Do you want to release them?"

"Haha, if you didn't tell me, I would have forgotten. There are actually people in our yamen who are trying to get in and out! I don't dare to use such people anymore! There is no need to give him a pension, just fire him! As for that Those relatives of his should be detained in the Yamen for a while! Those who don’t keep their mouths shut should not ruin my reputation by talking nonsense!”

"Then Wang Er hasn't been caught yet. Do you want to continue to catch him?"

"Catch! If you don't catch me, it's hard to get rid of the hatred in my heart!" He remembered the hatred of kicking the stone!
