Chapter 1329 Grab the Cao Gang ([-])
The first thing the new Caobang did was to talk to those mines again about buying mines. This time, the quotations of the big and small mine owners were much lower than before, and there was no more nonsense. What is the price, otherwise there would be no boats to pull the mine, and the mine would hold the ore for food.

Qi Ke waited for almost a month, and finally the ore she wanted came. Jia's boat with the Caobang flag brought a boatload of coal, iron, copper and other ores to Liangshui Town, and then took away a boatload of gold. Grass potato flour and pork root.

When they received the news reported by Ma Zhiwen from a hundred households, all the generals from Baiqing to General Bai to the sixth rank to the first rank were all shocked. They thought it was fake news, and they didn't know it was true until they sent someone to look at it. , Qi Ke did a big deal without making a sound, and established a stable source of ore for Liangshui Town. The goods that Nanyang County can supply are much more than what the army supplies to Liangshui Town, so Qi Ke can't afford this resource. To be shared with the military.

The army is actually short of metal minerals. Otherwise, the officers and soldiers would not be able to use good weapons. What about opening mines for sale, anyway, now I have the opportunity to stock up quickly, and there is no such shop after passing this village.

So on the Jiuzhi River from Nanyang County to Liangshui Town, you can see ore-pulling boats going back and forth day and night from morning to night. On the return trip to Nanyang County, the boats pull not only grass and potato flour but also salt, thanks to Fuxian County. Qianhusuo still holds the imperial salt field in its hands, and there is no shortage of salt.

The Nanyang County Yamen bit the bullet and sent someone to invite the leader of the Cao Gang to the Yamen to discuss matters, and to develop mutual associations into industry forces.

Finally, the county magistrate waited for the opportunity and felt that his political achievements were promising. Naturally, he wanted to find out what the new gang leader thought, whether he really did what the announcement letter said, and then where did the former gang leaders go.The yamen checked, and even the family members disappeared and walked away cleanly. Just this ability to make people disappear without a trace is enough to make the yamen sweat coldly.

Jiajia Village only wanted to make a good fortune and save the family fortune, and never thought of confronting the government, so the new gang leader cooperated with the county lord's idea of ​​making some political achievements for himself, and gave him advice on how to make this matter look better in the official face, in return However, the Yamen did not pursue where the Cao Gang changed hands and where the missing gang members and family members went.

By this time, the boat that gave Qi Kela salt from Fu County had already returned, and it was logical to know that he had another Zhuangzi with a hundred acres of land, so he immediately sent an advance team composed of women's soldiers and maids. To take over Zhuangzi, she should tidy up and make repairs. If she has spare time, she can go to pick a boat, and when she finishes her work on the autumn order meeting in Siliu Village, she will go to apply for the land deed.

Siliu Village is also setting up a stage to welcome guests. Qi Ke also instructed the deputy housekeeper there to remind the villagers to pay attention. When the guests came, they were curious and asked about the water diversion through bamboo tubes. They said that the village was worried about the slippery water. Do it like this, don't mention the drowning of the three sisters, it's unnecessary.

Qi Ke didn't care about it himself, but in fact, his prestige in the village has been rising, so the villagers listened to the news as soon as it got out. Originally, this matter was already an outdated gossip in the village and no one mentioned it. It's not a tragedy in the village. I remember it in my heart every day, but there are so many guests who come to the order meeting to talk about meat and vegetables. It is better to keep your mouth shut first, so even the children have been told.
