"...Two eldest brothers, you have also seen that my master can only offer a minimum price of 40,000 yuan, but this 40,000 yuan includes our settlement fee, and all the mined mineral materials will be given to you. The mines are also yours, we don’t charge any extra wages, and if you want to continue using these miners, you can use them as you like, and we won’t stop you.”
Qiao Laiwang felt like he was about to spill his words.
He went back and forth twice without even drinking water. At this time, he felt like a fire in his heart, just waiting for the rain from the sky to relieve it.
And this rain is not ordinary water, but the two Ning family stewards in front of them can nod in agreement.
Chao Chao and Ma Yang did not expect that they just sat here drinking water for a while and listening to the miners chatting for a while. When Qiao made a round trip next year, the price would drop from the expected 50,000 taels to 40,000 taels.
Judging from this situation, the actual transaction price will actually fall.
but.
From the miners' mouths, they also learned that many people in the capital were eyeing this mine. In order to prevent those people from causing trouble, the two of them decided to buy it together.
Although forty thousand taels is a bit expensive, it is still ten thousand taels lower than the Young Master’s budget!
"Manager Qiao, what you just said should be written into the contract guarantee to prevent us from having any disputes in the future. Can your master accept it?"
"Yes!"
"Then...when will your master pay the wages of the miners here?"
"It's done, it's done. Master said, as long as you sign the contract, it will be done right away."
It's true that the hawk is out of sight.
Chao Chao and Ma Yang knew that it was not easy for these miners, and they were instigated to confront the Qiao family just to fight for the benefits they deserved.
Under their series of requests, Qiao Laiwang could only invite a respected miner representative to go to Jingzhao Mansion to transfer the ownership with them.
After arriving at Jingzhao Mansion, when the contract was being written, with the miner's representative present, even if Mr. Qiao wanted to privately seize a few mines, it became a luxury.
Fortunately, at the price of 40,000 taels, Dynasty and Ma Yang did not lower the price any further.
Although Mr. Qiao was dissatisfied with the miners' representatives betraying the Qiao family so quickly, he also knew that the weeds were falling in the wind, so he gritted his teeth and signed the contract, and reluctantly paid off the miners' wages on the spot in accordance with the requirements of the contract.
When he finally left, Mr. Qiao did not forget to "kindly" remind Dynasty and Ma Yang who were holding the transfer title deed and the mining deed.
"You two, you and the Ning family have bought a mine. If you can mine it, you have to go to the relevant yamen to report it. Not only will you be fined for smuggling mining, you may also be jailed."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Mr. Qiao was not a friendly reminder, but that he was unwilling to accept the money after selling the mine.
Just deliberately disgusted the Ning family.
Chao Chao and Ma Yang didn't know the key. After hearing this, they looked at Qiao Laiwang as the middleman in shock.
Qiao Laiwang, who was older than them and had been calling them "Brother Wang" and "Brother Ma" since then, was blushing but refused to say another word.
He followed Mr. Qiao into the carriage and drove away.
Chao Chao and Ma Yang were stunned on the spot, while Zhuang Shicheng cursed angrily.
"Fuck his grandma! Are we being deceived?"
"No……"
Dynasty disputed his words.
"Young master asked me to buy this mine."
"ah?"
Zhuang Shicheng suddenly looked confused.
Then it dawned on me.
It turned out that the young master asked me to buy it. No wonder the car crashed and I wanted to keep it.
Now it all makes sense.
But Ma Chao became even more worried: "I don't know if the young master knows the law mentioned by the man named Qiao. We won't let the young master get into trouble, right?"
"What are you afraid of? Since the young master bought it, it must be useful. Let's go back to the princess's mansion first and tell the young master the news. Let the young master make the decision on the rest."
Zhuang Shicheng's main theme is a no-brainer.
Dynasty and Ma Yang were different, but they thought about this matter, but still had no solution. Looking at the miners' representatives holding silver in their hands, they had a sad face. They knew that the miners' representatives were worried about whether they could continue to work in the future. thing.
Without further ado.
They followed Zhuang Shicheng's instructions and drove the ox cart back to Lord Xian's Mansion.
at this time.
Ning Wuyan just emerged from the boiler room, his face flushed, and he drank a lot of the pear soup specially stewed in the kitchen.
After drinking two bowls in a row, the heat in my heart subsided a little.
"Ning Shixian, can the steel pipe be cooled just like this?"
"Okay, let's leave it like this for now. If there's anything wrong, wait until it's applied before adjusting it."
One day and one night.
Ning Wuhao became the leader of this group of craftsmen.
Originally, these craftsmen were worried that Ning Wuhuang was an amateur and that their late nights would be in vain.
But when they were forging, they heard a few words of explanation from Ning Wuhuang, and they felt enlightened. They even learned some more advanced forging techniques under Ning Wuhuang's guidance. For this famous Jinling poet Immortal, I admire him from the bottom of my heart.
They looked down upon a scholar who could only play with his pen.
But they valued a young man who had studied craft skills and had many novel ideas.
Many craftsmen who have not found successors to their craftsmanship would want to ask Ning Wuhuang if he was willing to be their apprentice and inherit their mantle, if it were not for Ning Wuhuang's status as a Shixian.
Ning Wuhuang felt the kind attention of the craftsmen and sent someone to ask the kitchen to boil more pear soup so that the craftsmen could calm down their fire and reduce their dryness.
The craftsmen have almost finished the castings or utensils on the drawings he drew last night, leaving only cooling and post-processing.
Can't wait until tomorrow to try it out.
The stoves and containers for brewing the raw materials of colored glaze are still being worked on.
However, in order to prevent one piece from being poorly made and delaying the construction period, Zhou Jingxian specially transported 300 kilograms of fine steel from the Ministry of Works and sent someone to build a spare piece for later use.
In this way, there should be no problem with the firing tools, only the glass raw materials are missing.
"It's getting dark soon. I don't know how the Dynasty is getting in touch with Ma Yang and the others. I don't know if we can capture the Qiao family's raw material mine tomorrow."
If it's too late, the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen where the transfer of ownership takes place will be closed, and there's no point in talking about business again.
The main focus of many transactions is immediacy.
Last night, the Ministry of Industry brought fine iron and pure steel over. Maybe everyone would read Zhou Jingxian's book and say she was fooling around.
But when people find out that the craftsman stayed with Princess Xian all night, and after going to court, they find that the old emperor turned a blind eye to the matter, and they will wonder if there is something hidden.
When everyone's attention shifts from Zhou Jingxian to him, and they learn that he sent someone to buy the mine, they will probably raise the price.
At that time, the price of fifty thousand taels will become one hundred thousand taels.
Ning Wuyang felt anxious and felt like a fire was burning.
He simply poured another bowl of pear soup.
Before they finished the bowl of pear soup, they saw Wang Chao and Ma Yang walking into the yard with worried faces and Zhuang Shicheng who was smiling.
The expressions of the three people made him confused.
Returning home so early, is the matter accomplished or not?
If it works, shouldn't they be happy?
But if not, why did Zhuang Shicheng show his big white teeth so brightly?
Wang Chao stepped forward and bowed, then smiled with an awkward smile on his face: "Sir, there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear?"
