Chapter 176 Going to Dingzhou City Again
Zhou Chenli returned to the house in the morning and couldn't fall asleep. He lay on the kang in Xu Miao's house and thought carefully about what to do next with the coal mine.
When he heard the noises from Xu Miao and Chun'er outside, he got up and walked out of the house.
Xu Miao and Chun'er met Zhou Chenli and greeted him together.
Xu Miao: "Good morning, Duke. Did you sleep well last night? Chun'er and I waited until the evening yesterday, but you didn't get up. We didn't dare disturb you to wake you up for dinner."
"Let's prepare to eat now. After we finish eating, we'll take a rest and then go to Dingzhou City."
After Xu Miao finished speaking, he took Chun'er to quickly prepare breakfast for Zhou Chenli.
Han Laosan also handed hot water and toiletries to Zhou Chenli and helped him wash up attentively.
After Zhou Chenli finished breakfast at Xu Miao's house, Village Chief Han appeared in Xu Miao's yard with a smile on his face and shining eyes.
When Zhou Chenli saw Village Chief Han's rosy complexion and grinning smile, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Farmers are in good health. If he were Village Chief Han's age, he would have been exhausted to death if he ran all the way like Village Chief Han.
Yesterday, when he saw Village Chief Han returning to the village, he ran home to rest. Zhou Chenli thought that he would not see Village Chief Han for several days.
As soon as Village Chief Han saw Zhou Chenli, he quickly saluted him and said, "Good morning, Duke. Are you used to living in Hanjia Village?"
"There's nothing to see in Hanjia Village this season. But by autumn, Hanjia Village will be filled with delicious food and fun places."
"If you have time, please come to Han Village again in the fall. We will treat you well then."
Village chief Han greeted Zhou Chenli enthusiastically.
After taking the medicine given to him by Xu Miao, Village Chief Han slept soundly on the kang at home all night.
When he woke up in the morning, he felt full of energy and kept praising the pills from the Imperial Hospital that Xu Miao gave him to Aunt Han as a miracle drug.
"No wonder that old Liu kept saying that after taking the medicine, he felt several years younger."
"Old lady, I feel like I'm getting younger too. I feel full of energy. I don't know what ingredients are in these pills from the Imperial Hospital, but how come they're so effective?"
After having breakfast at home, Village Chief Han hurried to Xu Miao's house, waiting to go to Dingzhou City with Xu Miao.
Boss Han and his men also prepared breakfast for Commander Ye and several of his followers. After the meal, they all waited at the door of Xu Miao's house.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Zhou Chenli took Xu Miao and the others and rode out of the village again, heading towards Dingzhou City.
After Zhou Chenli and his group left Hanjia Village, the villagers of Hanjia Village dared to come out of their homes and gathered in groups of three or four to discuss the matter.
"Boss Han, please tell us quickly, what happened? I think Village Chief Han has left with the master again?"
"Brother Han, I climbed over the wall yesterday and took a peek. The master of the house brought a distinguished guest to the coal mine. So many outsiders have come to our village. It must be about something related to the coal mine."
"Brother Han, who was that distinguished guest who came yesterday? He looked quite impressive. I saw the host family was treating him very well."
The people of Hanjia Village were notified by Boss Han and his men to stay at home and avoid the danger, saying that an important person had come to the village to discuss important matters.
They all obeyed and did not dare to leave the house. They were all at home wondering what had happened in Hanjia Village.
Recently, a coal mine was discovered in Hanjia Village, and so many outsiders came. They didn’t know what Village Chief Han and Xu Miao were busy with.
Early in the morning, they saw Xu Miao and Village Chief Han running out of Hanjia Village with their men again, and they couldn't help but ask Boss Han about it.
Seeing the villagers' curiosity, Boss Han suppressed his excitement and said to the villagers, "This is great news, but I can't tell you now. Everyone, please wait patiently for a few days until my father and A Miao come back. Then we will have accurate news."
Boss Han's answer not only failed to make the people of Hanjia Village give up, but instead aroused their greater curiosity.
They all chased after Boss Han and asked, "Boss, please tell me how big of a good thing this is?"
"What's going on in Hanjia Village? They've been so secretive these past few days."
"I saw Village Chief Han and the main family go out again. What on earth have they been up to these days? Boss Han, tell us about it!"
Boss Han: "Oh, stop guessing. We'll have the results in two days. I really can't tell you now!"
Boss Han thought that if he told everyone that Zhou Chenli wanted to buy the land within a radius of 500 miles of Hanjia Village, Hanjia Village would be in an uproar!
Xu Miao and his companions rushed all the way to Dingzhou City.
After entering the city, Zhou Chenli returned to the inn to rest.
Xu Miao and Village Chief Han rushed to the Dingzhou City government early the next morning to discuss the purchase of the land around Hanjia Village.
After hearing what Xu Miao and Village Chief Han wanted, the yamen runner who was handling the land deeds screamed at Village Chief Han, "Old Han, what did you say? You want to buy all the land within a radius of 500 miles around Village Chief Han?"
"What are you doing in Hanjia Village? Dingzhou City is only 500 miles away from Hanjia Village. Why don't you buy Dingzhou City as well and become the city lord?"
This yamen runner was an old acquaintance of Village Chief Han. He was the one who helped Hanjia Village with the indentures and land deeds.
When the yamen runner heard that Village Chief Han wanted to buy the land within 500 miles around Hanjia Village, he felt that he had heard a huge joke.
Seeing that the yamen runner did not believe him, Village Chief Han quickly pushed Xu Miao in front of the yamen runner.
"Brother Yamen Runner, this is the head of our Hanjia Village. They want to buy the land around Hanjia Village. Look, we even have the money ready."
Xu Miao stood in front of the yamen runner, took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, and said to the yamen runner with a smile: "Brother yamen runner, we are really not joking. We really want to buy the land around Hanjia Village."
"Here's a note for ten thousand taels of silver. If that's not enough, I have more in my pocket!"
Only then did the yamen runners realize that Village Chief Han was not joking. Han Village really wanted to buy land and had even prepared the silver.
When Xu Miao left the inn in the morning, Zhou Chenli handed her 20,000 taels of silver.
Zhou Chenli: "Use these banknotes to buy land. Remember, buy as much as you can. Don't worry about the silver, just buy enough land. No matter how hard you dig, you won't be able to dig out the land of Hanjia Village."
Zhou Chenli didn't care about money. As long as the coal was dug out from Hanjia Village, his Dingguo Mansion would have a share.
This little bit of money is just a preliminary preparation. Once the coal mine starts making money, the money spent on purchasing the land will be earned back soon.
