Originally, it was surveyed that the front mountain was the most valuable and had the richest jadeite raw stones. The two mountains behind it were also worth mining because there was a mineral vein extending from them.

Now, the hill behind is actually buried with rich gems. Rubies and emeralds are much more valuable than jadeite of the same quality.

This time I made a lot of money.

Qiao Jianer felt that she had made so much money by using the space just to encounter these gems and jades one day.

Seeing her happy, Pei Shijiu was also happy.

"However, once mining begins, it will surely attract a lot of covetousness. These are all warlords and wealthy businessmen with connections, none of whom are easy targets. We must be fully prepared beforehand, otherwise we will be making things difficult for others."

Qiao Jianer sat up and considered, "The garrison troops can be purchased, but they are not from Middle-earth after all, so we cannot expect them to be very loyal."

"To take over such a large mine, there is a risky approach, which is to cooperate with the Puchen government. This will put pressure on the warlords, but this is tantamount to inviting a wolf into the house. With such a huge wealth, the Puchen government will definitely want to take it all for themselves."

Now these treasures are buried under the mountain, invisible and intangible. Once they are mined and unearthed, they will be a piece of fat meat in the open air.

Moreover, Qiao Jianer speculated that gems and jade coexist here, and there may be such symbiotic geological conditions within a radius of 100 miles. For example, several mining areas that are currently being mined may also hide some gems, it is just a matter of how many.

After saying these words, Qiao Jianer fell silent.

Pei Shijiu thought that the army of Daze State was like a mighty army. If a 200,000-strong army were to march in, the small Puchen State would not be able to withstand it.

But this is an invasion, and Middle-earth has always adhered to the golden mean of not offending others unless they offend me.

Even if the Daze State army marches in and takes over this land, who will own these mines?

It is not an easy task to take over such a big mountain.

For Qiao Jianer, in this land of socialism and survival of the fittest, she discovered rich mineral deposits, which belong to her.

It is impossible to share it with any force.

Moreover, Puchen Country is far away from Daze Country. No matter how big a noise she makes here, as long as Boss Zuo's caravan can keep the secret, it will not be spread to Daze Country, not to mention that she is working under another identity.

Qiao Lian'er's fingers tapped slowly on a stone, and an idea gradually emerged in his mind, and his expression moved.

"It seems that snake culture is highly valued here."

"Yes, their houses, pillars, eaves, and tea sets are all carved with snakes, Sickle, do you want to -"

"People generally don't desecrate things they admire, or they'll be punished."

Qiao Jianer said, "What I have the most here is a variety of crops and animals."

Pei Shijiu understood what she was going to do. Every piece of land has a belief that represents its own culture and heritage. It can be said to be a spiritual pursuit of the entire nation, and it is even directly linked to the dignity and honor of the Heavenly Family. Once such a belief and totem appears, the people of this land will spontaneously surrender and worship it, and place it on the altar.

The Daze Kingdom is a dragon, and the Puchen Kingdom is a snake.

Once people have something to revere, it will be easier to handle.

"So, should we go to the general manager first to get the approval for these three mountains, or..." Pei Shijiu asked.

Qiao Jianer thought for a moment and said, "Before that, we need to make some arrangements to let people know that there are mines in these three mountains, but the mines are not very impressive and worth very little, so as to avoid being targeted."

"We'll set it up tonight."

There are stones of different values ​​in the mining area, which are moved to these mountains. The ores in these mountains are buried very deep, and even if someone comes to explore, they can't find anything.

She had to acquire these three mines at a low cost, otherwise, given the value of these mines, each of them would cost more than 30 million taels, which would be a waste of money.

Qiao Jian'er touched her chin. Well, she was becoming more and more greedy. But in this barbaric and bloody land, how many good people were there? Most of them were cruel people who killed without blinking an eye. It all depended on their abilities. She did not kill or burn anyone, she just circumvented the rules.

But Suo had nothing to do today, so he went to the mountain in the morning to try his luck. He picked up twenty stones, but none of them were valuable. He bought rice, salt and oil for a month and came home. Seeing that Xida's straw sandals were broken, he bought Xida a pair of cloth shoes.

Xida, wearing cloth shoes, happily ran a few laps in the yard, making a thumping sound, like a lively little deer with bright eyes.

"Brother, it feels so comfortable to wear cloth shoes. My feet don't hurt at all."

Dan Suo looked at his sister and smiled. From childhood to adulthood, his sister finally had a pair of shoes that could protect her feet.

Xida looked at Dan Suo's straw sandals, which were almost in tatters, and put away the smile on his face: "Brother, why don't you buy yourself a pair?"

"I run around everywhere, and cloth shoes would wear out easily and be a waste. Besides, my feet are thick and I've already got calluses on them, so I'm not afraid." Dan Suo smiled and said, "It's much more comfortable this way."

It's rare to meet such a generous and kind person. I'm afraid I'll never meet one again. Even if I have a lot of gold in my hand, I have to spend it frugally, otherwise, when it's all gone, how will I live in the future?

Xida understood her brother's thoughts. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Brother, I have shoes now. I should try my luck walking in the mountains. Maybe I can find a good stone. Those stones thrown down the mountain are worthless, just like garbage."

"Okay, don't go too far away. Stay within people's sight." Except for those who came from outside, almost everyone here knew each other, so Dan Suo was not too worried.

The brother and sister had lunch, but Suo did not receive the translation work and continued to pan for stones. Xida climbed over to another hill. The nearby hills had been trampled all over and even dug three feet deep, so it was impossible to find any treasures.

She carried a basket and walked up the foot of the mountain. A stream meandered down the valley, and some pebbles were washed into round shapes. Xida picked them up. Although they were not valuable, they could be used as decorations on the house.

In addition, Xida would pick some wild vegetables and put them in the porridge to save food. Her brother said that there would be meat porridge tonight. Even so, thriftiness had become a brand in her heart.

There were a few pieces of beef jerky in his pocket, which were given to him by the water girl. She was such a nice person, the beef jerky smelled delicious and was kind. My brother told her that if she was tired, she could just chew a piece.

Xida thought to himself that he should make more porridge tonight and invite Miss Shui and Mr. Bai to come home for dinner.

Qiao Jian'er walked down the hillside and stopped. Countless people were scrambling for the discarded stones, pushing and shoving each other, and making a lot of noise. She saw a familiar figure. It turned out that when Dan Suo was not translating, he was panning for stones here.

But his eyesight is really bad. He only picks up garbage, and not a single piece is good. I'm afraid it's all in vain at the end of the day.

She decided to help him and waved to him.
