Traveling through time and space to become a concubine's daughter, leading the whole village to

When Zhou Chenli heard that General Liu was joking, a smile immediately broke out on his face. The corners of his mouth raised high, revealing a row of neat and white teeth, and his eyes were shining with joy.

Then there was a hearty laugh, the "haha" sound echoed in the air, intertwined with General Liu's laughter, making the surrounding atmosphere suddenly become relaxed.

"General, I really have something to trouble you with."

"A coal mine was dug up in Hanjia Village. It's the black pill mentioned in history books, the burning stone."

Having said this, Zhou Chenli paused, looked up at General Liu and his wife who were sitting beside him, and continued, "I bought all the land over 300 kilometers around Hanjia Village."

"Hanjia Village is now considered the largest village in Northern Xinjiang. All this land is the private property of Duke Dingguo's Mansion."

"You said you dug up something from our fields and wanted to sell it. Would you, the great general, agree to this?"

"And more." Zhou Chenli continued.

"This trouble is not in vain for you, General. I will give you 10% of the silver from this coal mine business as a reward for your troubles."

"In the capital, I will also take good care of the two young masters of your Liu family for you."

"General Liu, tell me, can our Dingguo Mansion's business continue in your territory in Northern Xinjiang?"

After Zhou Chenli finished speaking slowly, he sat down on the chair steadily without saying another word, as if nothing had happened.

His back was straight, his hands were resting leisurely on the armrests, and his legs were naturally crossed. His expression was as if everything in the world was under his control.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and just waited quietly for General Liu's response.

The look on his face was as if he was enjoying the quiet moment before a good show began. He was not in a hurry or panic at all. It made people feel that he was very confident.

When General Liu heard that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion had bought up more than 300 miles of land around Hanjia Village, he knew that the Duke Dingguo was going to do big business in the northern border.

When he heard that the coal mine in Hanjia Village had been dug out, 10% of the silver would be given to him.

The most important thing is that he has to take care of his two sons in the capital, Duke Dingguo.

General Liu began to be tempted.

In recent years, there has been no war among the barbarians. Without war, these generals have no way to make money.

No matter who you fight for, you have to fill your stomach. He also has a family to support. No one thinks that too much money will bite you.

Ever since Zhou Chenli wanted to do this coal mining business, he decided to give General Liu 10% of the income as a kickback.

The coal mining business is not something his family can do successfully.

If this business is to continue in the northern border for a long time, it must have the support of General Liu.

Zhou Chenli didn't take the Lord of Dingzhou City seriously.

As long as General Liu nods, we can do this.

Zhou Chenli waited for a moment before General Liu tentatively asked, "Duke, I have no objection to you doing business in Northern Xinjiang."

"But you want to run a coal mining business, so this matter still needs to be reported to the court."

"Otherwise, I'm worried about what will happen to the Emperor. If he blames me, it will be useless for anyone to stop me!"

General Liu was worried that the imperial court would send someone to take over the business, as the Great Zhou had always maintained strict management over these minerals.

Seeing General Liu asking about the affairs of the court, Zhou Chenli picked up the tea bowl, took a sip of hot tea, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about the emperor. I will naturally talk to the emperor after I return to the capital."

"You just need to ensure that the coal mined from Hanjia Village can be sold safely. General, don't worry about anything else. I will take care of it."

"Also, the coal produced in this coal mine can be used by the soldiers of your Northern Frontier first. As for the money to buy the coal, I will discuss with the emperor how to allocate it to your Northern Frontier when I return."

General Liu finally understood that Zhou Chenli wanted to sell the coal mined in Hanjia Village directly to their military camp, and the emperor would have to pay for it.

Zhou Chenli’s calculations were very sound. The coal could be sold before it even left Dingzhou City.

Isn’t this just picking up money for free?

No wonder he had to be given 10% as a commission. It turned out that this money came too easily.

General Liu was secretly amazed. Although he kept a straight face, his admiration for Zhou Chenli surged in his heart like a tide.

Look at Zhou Chenli, sitting there, calm and unhurried, neither arrogant nor impatient, and analyzing the matter so thoroughly in just a few words, it seems like his brain has been blessed.

Such intelligence and sharpness really made General Liu have to admit defeat. He felt as if he was slightly inferior in front of the man. He couldn't help but sigh that such a person was truly a hero among men, and his wisdom was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Knowing that a coal mine had been discovered in Hanjia Village, he bought all the land around Hanjia Village.

This is something that was really dug out from someone else's ground. No matter what, we have to give the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion a little reward.

After Zhou Chenli discussed with General Liu, he led his men to the capital.

He was not worried that General Liu would not support him. He had 10% of the silver to give to the general, and the future of the two young masters of the Liu family in the capital was in his hands.

General Liu will definitely support Xu Miao and others to continue this business.

As soon as Xu Miao and Village Chief Han returned to Hanjia Village, they were surrounded by the villagers of Hanjia Village.

"Hey, Master, you're finally back. Boss Han said something great is going to happen in Han Village. Master, could you please tell us what exactly is going on in Han Village?"

"Exactly. I see that Han Cunchang's legs have become thinner these days. Is our Hanjia Village going to dig that coal mine?"

In the past few days, the people of Hanjia Village have been thinking about it for a long time, and only the matter of the coal mine can make Xu Miao and Village Chief Han go to Dingzhou City again and again.

They also don't know how much money this coal mine can make.

But seeing Xu Miao and Village Chief Han running so hard, it must be a big deal.

Village Chief Han grinned so hard that his mouth almost reached the back of his head. While driving away the villagers surrounding Xu Miao, he shouted, "Our Hanjia Village is now the largest village in Northern Xinjiang."

"From that dilapidated house halfway up the road all the way to the military camp in the north, it's all Han Village's territory."

"From now on, you are the villagers of the largest village in Northern Xinjiang. When you go out, you must behave with dignity and dignity. Don't bring shame to our Hanjia Village!"

When the villagers heard what Village Chief Han said, they all exclaimed, "Village Chief Han, what did you say? How did our Hanjia Village suddenly become so large?"

"Oh my, starting from that shabby house, it's our Hanjia Village territory, it must be huge!"

"What does our village need such a large territory for?"

The villagers kept asking questions and didn't even bother to give Xu Miao and Village Chief Han a rest. They wanted to know the result right away.

When Village Chief Han brought Xu Miao back to the Han family, the gate of the Han family was surrounded by curious villagers.

Everyone wants to know what Hanjia Village wants to do with such a large piece of land.

After Village Chief Han and Xu Miao drank some hot water, they rested for a while.

Village chief Han stood at his door and told the villagers standing outside the gate about how he and Xu Miao went to Dingzhou City to buy land.

"Our Hanjia Village is going to expand its business this time. From now on, we just need to do a good job in the coal business."

"As long as we can dig out coal from the ground in our village, we can make money."

After hearing what Village Chief Han said, the villagers were stunned.

If you dig coal out of the ground and sell it for money, isn't that just picking up money?

They don't need anyone to teach them this; they can do it on their own.
