The Zheng family mainly operates restaurants and runs a brothel business. Many good families were forced into prostitution. How many people were harmed by them. As for the Hou family, they were even more vicious, selling illicit salt and making poisonous salt. They did not eat the poisonous salt themselves, but

How many people have been harmed? Fortunately, Hou Dong always looks like a gentle and gentle man in front of outsiders, but what kind of male thieves and female prostitutes are behind his back?

Nowadays, Yunze can be said to have helped Danyang City get rid of two evils, so the people praise Yunze. Many people love Yunze openly and secretly. Some people have even offered longevity tablets to Yunze at home.

And Yunze also took all the property of the Zheng family into his name. As for those who were harmed by the Zheng family, he sent people to send money. Although, this could not make up for the harm they suffered from the Zheng family. But it was better than

Nothing is good.

After settling the matter with the Zheng family, Yunze no longer has to worry about his restaurant being persecuted by the Zheng family again, and Lu Qing and Master Hu will definitely be more honest.

Yunze handed over the skills of making briquettes to Lu Qing and Master Hu. The two were very happy about this, but what shocked them was that with the technology and no raw materials, they couldn't do anything.

Originally, the two of them had decided to let their family members do this business. After all, it was better to rely on their own family members than relying on others. They had long since lost their reputation as literary men and their pride.

Fortunately, Yunze did not embarrass them and sent people to bring coal, which was transported from Longtoushan. Although the coal output could not meet the development of Yunze for the time being, it was not bad at all.

This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Yunze certainly doesn't want to delay it any longer. Letting Lu Qing and Master Hu join in can also be regarded as letting them do something for the people. With coal, there is no need for firewood.

Moreover, it is convenient and practical. It can save a lot of trouble. As for whether Lu Qing and Master Hu will make a fortune from this, Yunze is not worried at all.

After all, briquettes are not an indispensable thing, and it is impossible for them to make a fortune. If this is the case, Yunze can end up on his own without giving the two of them a chance.

The reason why he let Lu Qing and Master Hu go to hell was because he didn't have the time and energy to do these things for the time being, so he might as well let others do it for him.

Moreover, as long as they have coal raw materials in their hands, Lu Qing and Master Hu will always beg him. As long as he doesn't tell them how to find coal mines, they will never dare to do anything to themselves, the God of Wealth.

Yunze asked Han Long to send people to search for coal mines around Danyang. As long as coal mines are found, the development of the fiefdom will become faster. Of course, to avoid future troubles, he will have to ask Lu Qing for some mining documents.

This was the condition that Yunze had negotiated with Lu Qing before.

After the matter in Danyang City was settled, Yunze and Su Qianmo returned to Longtou Mountain. As for the sisters Luo Yanniang and Luo Yunxi, Yunze took them to the fief.

It is the safest here, at least. The 1,500 village guards in the fiefdom are not just decorations. It is impossible for Weihushan to pose a threat to the two sisters. Yunze also wants the two sisters to learn from the fiefdom.

management.

In the future, his plate will get bigger and bigger, and he will need help from capable people. The two sisters are the people he trusts most. If he doesn't train them now, how long will it take?

When he returned to Longtou Mountain, Yunze was a little surprised by the changes inside. He didn't come back for almost a few months, and the entire Longtou Village had undergone earth-shaking changes.

Rows of brick buildings are built in an orderly manner at the foot of the mountain. There are breeding farms and some workshops inside. In the newly built square in front, more than 2,000 people are training there.

These were selected by Yunze from more than 10,000 disaster victims sent here. Since he is ready to protect himself in this troubled time, he must make preparations early, otherwise, when the troubled times come, it will be too late.

There are already discussions in the capital about cooperating with the Jin Kingdom to deal with the Khitan Kingdom. It is estimated that if they wait for their alliance, once the Khitan Kingdom is destroyed, that will be the time for the Jin Kingdom to take action against the Jing Dynasty.

Although Danyang Mansion is located in the south of Jing Dynasty, it is still relatively close to the north. Once the capital is lost, it is estimated that the Jin soldiers will come over soon. I am afraid that there will be only a few years left for Yunze.

At this time, there were almost 12,000 people living in Longtou Mountain. This mountain stream was very spacious, and even though there were more than 10,000 people living there, it did not seem crowded, but rather prosperous.

More than 10,000 disaster victims live and work in peace and contentment here, and their lives are getting better day by day. In the farmland ahead, many people are busy. Han Long, who is following him, points to one of them, a middle-aged man who looks to be in his forties.

Said to Yunze:

"Master Yun, the man named Sheng Yiping is a good farmer. Among the people you asked me to select, he is the smartest. I gave him your book on hybridization theory. Speaking of which, I also

I was afraid that he didn’t know how to read, but later I heard from him that he was also a scholar in the past, but he gave up after failing the exam several times and concentrated on farming.”

"After he got your book, he felt like he had found a treasure. He has been researching it for a long time. It is estimated that it won't be long before he can develop the hybrid rice you mentioned. There are also other information about the cultivation of fruits and vegetables that you sent.

He has been studying the book."

"This man will definitely be a talented farmer in the future. Whether we can have enough to eat depends on him!"

Han Long's voice was a little happy and full of expectations.

Yunze smiled when he heard this. He has the knowledge of future generations, and he cannot do everything himself. If he can cultivate some needed talents, it will be of great use to him in the future.

He wanted to train Sheng Yiping in front of him to become an agricultural expert, while Hua Yue would become his own medical expert. Of course, Yunze also wanted to train chemistry experts and physics experts.

These people are all useful for future development, but he can't find suitable candidates for the time being.

"Well, don't worry and let him do it. If he needs anything, try to satisfy him. By the way, Brother Han, how is the search for coal mines going?" Yunze nodded.

Speaking of this, he looked at Han Long.

Hearing this, Han Long said with joy in his expression: "The people who went out came back and said that they found a place that may be a coal mine in the mountains a hundred miles west of Danyang City. I have asked people familiar with it to take a look. There should be no problem. If

This thing is true, and mining can start soon. However, there is another coal mine whose location is a bit troublesome, and it is between the Houjia Salt Mine and the Iron Mine."

"When our people went to investigate, they met people from the Hou family. Those people were beaten up by the Hou family. Some of them were almost beaten to death. If we sent people to collect, we might have to start a fight with the Hou family.

conflict."

At this time, Han Long's face surged with anger and he said: "The people of the Hou family are really nothing. That place is a no-owner's land, but they insist on dominating it. Moreover, as long as there are people who appear nearby,

, they will all be expelled."

When Yunze heard this, he frowned.

The Hou family was domineering and arrogant, and he had always known that behind the scenes, because they had relatives in the court, they acted a little unscrupulously, even worse than the Huang and Zheng families.

The Hou family has always been in control of the salt and iron business in several nearby states. Originally, the salt and iron were controlled by the court. But later, the salt was gradually liberalized, and ordinary people could also mine and sell it.

As for iron ore, merchants can mine it, but most of the iron products cannot flow into the private sector at all. Only a very small part can flow out. This is to prevent someone from using iron to make weapons.

But people can't survive without iron products, such as kitchen knives, hatchets, iron pots, etc. The Hou family controls the iron mines in Danyang City, and most of the iron produced is given to the court.

And a small part of them were sold at high prices. This was also a benefit given by the court to the Hou family, and it also prevented the Hou family from mining for them in vain.

The Hou family didn't want anyone to get close to the iron ore and salt mine areas just because there were people in the court. They said it was to prevent someone from stealing the ore. In fact, it might be because they were afraid that others would find another outlet for the mineral vein nearby.

Share a piece of the pie with his Hou family.

It seems that the Hou family should find a way to get rid of it now. The salt and iron ore in the Hou family's hands is a good thing. Whether it is salt ore or iron ore, they are now scarce in Yunze.

Iron mines are better, there is one here in Longtoushan, and the output is sufficient. What is lacking now is coal, and of course salt mines.

The refined salt that Yunze sells recently is all refined through buying Hou's private salt. He also thought about whether he could find a salt mine nearby, but unfortunately, it didn't work out as expected.

If he was at the beach, he wouldn't have to worry about refining salt. Sea salt is easier to purify and safer than salt mines.

Unfortunately, Danyang Mansion is nearly a thousand miles away from the sea, and is also separated by a continent. It is beyond reach. Speaking of which, the Hou family's salt mine and salt iron business may be able to find opportunities to get it.

But the Hou family is different from the Huang and Zheng families. The Huang and Zheng families were able to run rampant by currying favor with the prefect Lu Qing, but behind the scenes of the Hou family it was said that a count was backing them. Even Lu Qing was a little afraid of each other and wanted to overthrow them.

They are a bit difficult.

However, no matter whether the opponent is successfully defeated or not, Yunze is still prepared to find an opportunity to defeat this cancer in Danyang City. Even if it is not for the salt and iron mine, he will do it for the people of Danyang City.

Yunze thought about these things and continued to walk forward. When he reached the square, the third leader Chen Qinglian was in front of the queue. When he saw Yunze coming, he happily let his team stand where he was, and he quickly

He ran over quickly.

The fourth leader, Guo Ming, also left his team there and ran over. As for the teams standing there, when they saw Yunze, their eyes were filled with respect and gratitude.

They all knew Yunze, and everyone knew that this young master gave them a new life, not only allowing them to have enough to eat, but also allowing their families to have a stable place to live.

Therefore, even though they are training hard here, no one says anything about it. They feel that the days are getting better day by day, and everyone is devoted to training with enthusiasm.

Because they vaguely know that they belong to a bandit village and may be punished by the court in the future. If they want to preserve the village and keep everyone's good life alive, they must shoulder the responsibility of protecting the village.
