At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"All the people in the kiln left voluntarily. My brother and I did not force them." Liu Min also explained at this time.

Chen He's eldest brother still questioned in disbelief: "If that's the case, then why did I see your second brother driving away other people with a gun before?"

"My second brother was only driving away the scoundrels who took the money and food and refused to leave. If those scoundrels had known what was best for them and left, why would they have been driven away with guns?" Liu Min explained again.

Chen Fei, who was standing by, also echoed, "Chen's spear never bullies the old, weak, sick, or disabled. If you still don't believe me, you can chase after those people and ask them if they left voluntarily."

"Okay, then I'll chase him and ask him." Chen He's elder brother nodded, and Chen Fei even gave up his horse for him to ride and chase.

Chen He's eldest brother did not refuse. He mounted his horse and chased after the people who had just left.

"My elder brother has always been so stubborn. Please forgive me, sir." Chen He apologized on behalf of his brother.

"It's okay. Being stubborn is not a bad thing. After all, what does the old saying go? Hearing is not as good as seeing. Once he knows the truth, our misunderstandings will be resolved." Ren Hao waved his hand nonchalantly, and even began to dislike this overly submissive character in his heart.

He would apologize quickly for any small matter, fearing that he had offended others.

Am I so petty?

Just when Ren Hao was thinking, Chen Fei beside him suddenly tugged at his sleeves: "Master, is it convenient for you to come over here with Chen?"

"What's the matter?" Ren Hao followed Chen Fei to the side and hid where Liu Min couldn't see him.

"Master, do you have any wine with you?" Chen Fei asked in a low voice, a little embarrassed.

"You have it? What's wrong?" Ren Hao took out the sheepskin wine bag hidden in his arms. Chen Fei pursed his lips and continued to explain: "Master, to be honest, I am addicted to alcohol and feel uncomfortable. Since I came out with my elder brother to do things for the master, my elder brother was afraid that I would get drunk and delay things, so he confiscated the wine bag."

"Your elder brother is very cautious." Ren Hao smiled and threw the wine bag in his hand to Chen Fei, asking him to hide from Liu Min and drink a few sips to satisfy his craving.

He has the habit of carrying some wine with him when he goes out, just following the local customs.

After all, the living habits of ancient people are different from those of modern people. Modern people just bring a mobile phone when they go out, but ancient people would bring a bag of wine or a bag of water in addition to money when they go out.

This can not only quench your thirst when you are tired on the road, but also allow you to brag and drink with friends when you meet them, and you won't be looked down upon by others for being so poor that you can't even take out a bag of water.

Chen Fei raised his head and drank the wine in the wine bag.

After he finished drinking, he sighed hesitantly: "It's a pity that the master didn't put it in Maozi. It would be better if it was Maozi."

Ever since Chen Fei drank distilled and purified liquor, he felt that all turbid liquors tasted bland and like water.

"Haha, don't be so picky. That Maozi liquor is too strong. You will definitely get drunk after drinking this bag."

"Although this wine is not strong, it can satisfy your craving and won't cause any trouble." Ren Hao said in a thoughtful tone.

"Master, you are right. I, Chen, learn from your words." Chen Fei nodded quickly and realized that he had said the wrong thing.

"Master, why are you hiding from my second brother? The warrior has returned on horseback." Liu Min did not walk over, but just shouted from a distance.

"We just felt uncomfortable in our stomachs, so we're going to relieve ourselves." Ren Hao said perfunctorily and walked out first.

Liu Min did not expose it either. As Chen Fei's elder brother, he knew clearly that he must have gone to ask for wine by pulling the master aside and hiding.

But the current work is basically done, so I just turn a blind eye.

Seeing that Chen He's brother had already returned on horseback, Ren Hao immediately stepped forward and asked, "Brave man, have you caught up with the people and asked them clearly?"

"Now that I have made my inquiries clear, I have really wronged you."

"I am Chen Yin, please forgive me." Chen He's brother got off the horse and immediately knelt on the ground.

"What crime have you committed, brave man? Please get up quickly." Ren Hao hurriedly helped Chen He's brother up, and asked him if he was willing to bring his sister Chen He to become his disciple.

If they don't want to, that's fine. He can provide them with money and food to let them return home and live. As for the imitation silver dishes, they are not allowed to make them in the future.

As for those merchants and followers who wanted to cause trouble for them, he would still help to settle it.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master. I would like to bring my sister with me to be your guest."

Chen Yin immediately paid his respects to Ren Hao, and Liu Min and Chen Fei beside him also laughed. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. Since Chen Yin will also be a guest in Ren Hao's mansion in the future, then everyone will be a family in the future.

Now that Chen Yin was already his retainer, Ren Hao asked directly, "Chen Yin, how did you refine this tin?"

"To be honest, sir, although my family is a family of craftsmen, we are actually descendants of alchemists."

"This method of extracting tin is learned from the books left behind by the alchemists." Chen Yin told the truth and took out a tube of bamboo slips from his arms.

What is recorded in this bamboo slip is the method of extracting tin from copper.

In ancient times, copper mines were controlled by the government and private individuals were not allowed to mine.

Chen Yin was able to extract tin from copper by melting the copper coins again and separating the tin from them.

Ren Hao couldn't help but sigh with admiration at the wisdom of his ancestors.

The techniques of ancient alchemists may seem like nonsense, but in fact they are the predecessors of chemistry.

Chen Yin suddenly sighed. This was the only fragment of the alchemist's book left in his hands. More books were nowhere to be found as they were all burned by the former emperor.

Afterwards, Chen Yin asked Ren Hao, "Master, I dare to ask you a question. Since you want us to worship in your house but don't want us to help you make tin dishes, what do you want?"

"I need you to help me mint tin coins." Ren Hao told the truth without hiding anything.

Tin coins?

The Chen brother and sister were immediately stunned. You know, privately minting coins is the same crime as treason, which is not only punishable by death but also by the extermination of all nine generations of the family.

"Master, are you going to rebel?" Chen He asked with his eyes wide open.

No wonder Ren Hao said before that there was something big that needed her brother to do, and this so-called big thing turned out to be a rebellion!!!

"Master, this..." Chen Yin was full of surprise and hesitation. He suddenly regretted not asking clearly, and hurriedly became a retainer in Ren Hao's house.

"Don't worry, you brothers and sisters, I am definitely not rebelling," Ren Hao explained.

Isn't it a rebellion if they mint coins privately?

We brothers and sisters are stupid.

Not only did the Chen siblings look at Ren Hao with questioning expressions, even Liu Min and Chen Fei were looking at Ren Hao.

Ren Hao continued, "Don't worry, I have the privilege granted by His Majesty the current emperor, and I can mint coins at will."
