I want to be a good minister

Chapter 416 The King's "Surprise" Discovery 2
Cen Xi was taken aback for a moment, not understanding Wei Zhi's actions, but Xia Junshou acted faster, and the soldiers had already firmly secured several people. Cen Xi was not in a hurry to speak, and still believed in his heart that Wei Zhi would not act rashly.

All of a sudden, the group of workers became a little confused, with all kinds of expressions, and even more empathy. At this moment, Cen Xi couldn't see that there must be something she didn't know, but she didn't have eyes.

"The others are all gone—" Sheriff Xia waved his hand, not giving these workers a chance to discuss. The soldiers urged everyone to leave, and immediately beat up the few workers who were captured, regardless of the reason.

"You guys, you guys are too deceitful—"

"Didn't you say let us go?"

"You don't want to be honest—" Angry voices came one after another, but Wei Zhi waved his hand, followed by two soldiers dragging a worker covered in blood and throwing it to the ground.

"He's already handed it in, why don't you say anything?" Fuling looked coldly at the people who were beaten, the workers obviously panicked, and couldn't hold on for a moment. Seeing this situation, Cen Xi knew Wei Zhi's judgment That's right.

"I'm talking about those workers who left voluntarily, not you people with other purposes. Otherwise, how would you stand up?" Cen Xi said, looking at the workers who spoke.

When those people heard this, they were stunned, how could it be, but although the people on the ground couldn't see their faces clearly, they were wearing common people's clothes, they could only breathe out but not in, and the bloodstained people didn't dare to take a second look.

"My lord, my lord is clear, we are just guessing, we just want to find out what happened—" a worker broke down crying and shouted.

"Tell me everything you know, if there is even the slightest falsehood, I will kill you with one knife—" Fu Ling immediately stepped forward, and pulled out a knife with a bang.

"My lord, my lord, I will explain everything—" As he spoke, those workers scrambled to explain everything.

Half an hour later, Cen Xi held the map, looked at a marked point on the map in a daze, and fell into deep thought.

"Lord Cen, we can't wait for this matter, we have to go and have a look quickly—" Sheriff Xia immediately said, what I was thinking about at this time, I have already said, there is a treasure, and that group of workers is a small team carrying stones. Some discoveries were made on the mountain in the north of Anze County, and they were found from several people.

Coal mine, Cen Xi did not expect to hear this word at this moment. Coal is indeed attractive to Houzhao country today.

Maybe the headache of funding problems can be solved at once.

"Naturally, I'm going to have a look—" At least one thing Xia Wentao said was right, this matter can't wait.

The team went very quickly, and the results were achieved in a short while: a small coal mine that is basically negligible. This small size is still a huge amount for one person or a few people, but as far as the construction of the entire embankment is concerned, it is a drop in the bucket .

"My lord, how about we send people to surround that piece?" Although he was a little disappointed, no matter how small an ant is, it is still meat, and Sheriff Xia has no intention of giving up this piece of meat.

"Don't dig—" Cen Xi said suddenly, her eyes suddenly fell on the map beside her. Just now she was thinking that part of the coal mine's funds should be used for immigration, but now...

"Master Xia——" Cen Xi whispered several times, Sheriff Xia was taken aback for a moment, nodded after a while, and left quickly.

On the second day, some news spread like wildfire, and faintly spread to the people of Genliang County who surrounded the dam and seemed to have heard some news.

"Have you heard? A group of workers sneaked away last night—"

"Isn't this a good thing? It's better to go away."

"What do you know? Do you know why these people are leaving? Just because they belong to An Zejun, they have a place to live and wages. If you are, do you want to leave?"

"of course not--"

"I heard they found treasure—"

Suddenly, there were more people around.

On the second day, early in the morning, Cen Xi asked Xia County Sheriff to summon more than a dozen representatives of Genliang County, and invited the Sheriff of Genliang County. A short and thin man with sharp eyes followed a group of Genliang County officials of all sizes.

"Lord Cen, don't call these people in a hurry, we have to talk about some things first—" The sheriff of Genliang County, the news Cen Xi learned is that the neutral faction, the sheriff of Genliang County, Chen Hai, is cunning and very smart. In terms of calculations, it is indeed a bit of skill to manage Genliang County, which is as barren as Kui Shanjun.

"Mr. Chen, I understand what you mean." Seeing this, Cen Xi said straight to the point. As for the governor of Genliang County's ignorance and laziness towards the people of Genliang County, it was naturally because it was of no benefit to him.

The conditions offered by Chen Junshou are: to be promoted to two levels and serve as the sheriff of Zhongdi County.Zhongdi County is several times larger than Genliang County in terms of area and population.

But at this time, this group of people was calm and silent, but they had a strangely consistent atmosphere. It was obvious that they had reached an agreement among themselves, and this alone was enough to show the power of Sheriff Chen.

"Chen Junshou, why don't we change the conditions, first listen to my conditions, maybe you will be more impressed." Cen Xi said, looking at the group of people in front of him calmly, as if he was not afraid that the other party would refuse.

"Lord Cen is really quick to talk..." Sheriff Chen was taken aback, as if he felt that he had underestimated this very young boy, straight to the point, without dragging his feet. The Sheriff Chen, who had always been immersed in officialdom, suddenly became interested.

The young man in front of him is now a celebrity in front of the king. Although there are some unclear rumors, the young man is obviously very talented, as can be seen from this embankment.

"Mr. Chen, let's make a long story short. The northern third of Anze County has become Genliang County. You can share [-]% of the salt and business profits—" Cen Xi said.

Chen Junshou was stunned for a moment, some didn't even understand the meaning of the young man in front of him, what a shrewd person he is, but this Yan Li and Shang Li didn't even dare to think about it, moreover, given the current state of Huzhao country, Shang Li was powerless at all can be found.

"Master Cen, is this empty-handed white wolf?" The area of ​​the northern third of Anze County is about the same as that of Genliang County, much worse than the Zhongdi County he proposed.

However, it was completely different now. Their news was no slower than that of Xia County Sheriff. They already knew the news that there was a treasure in the Northern Boundary Mountain, and there was an escaped worker in their hands.

However, just now I heard the rumor that there is a treasure in the northern border, and the other party used this to trade, isn't it too coincidental?

Cen Xi smiled slightly, "Mr. Chen, look up and see that the day has changed. Do you want to gamble once? If the big reservoir in Genliang County is completed, it will also be your territory. Do you want to gamble with your future and the rest of your life?" A gamble?"

Chen Junshou's eyes deepened, they were the ones who caught the man, and the information they found did indeed have mines, and they knew it well.

"Okay, deal, the people of Genliang County will be handed over to the officials—"

Sheriff Xia was dumbfounded, and that's it?how is this possible?
