Chapter 49 [Winning over local people and solving hidden dangers in advance]

 Lin Ze walked out of the warehouse with a tired expression, covered in sweat and covered with a lot of dust.

However, the maids did not show any strange expressions, and simply thought that their master was practicing some secret martial arts in a secluded place like the warehouse.

Don’t ask too many questions that shouldn’t be asked. This is the survival philosophy for a maid to be favored by her master for a long time.

Under the service of several maids from Xiangxue, Lin Ze soaked in the tub and began to take a bath, while some soft little hands helped Lin Ze massage to relieve his fatigue.

"Once again, I feel like it would be great to have a portable space."

Lin Ze looked at the portable space function displayed on his Zhutian Gate and sighed in his heart.

If you have a portable space, you can instantly put the things you want to carry into the space, and then release them to the designated place, which is convenient, fast and saves time and effort.

Just like the thirty-three tons of matsutake not long ago, it took him a long time to move it by himself.

If you have portable space to help, I'm afraid it will take less than a few minutes to move everything.

The only regret is that it takes 10,000 points of luck to open the portable space.

"But it's soon."

"Because of the purchase of matsutake, I mobilized many villagers near the Yunwu Mountains, changing their life trajectories and causing slight fluctuations in their luck."

"Previously, I killed a wealthy country man, and in recent days he became the guest of the county official."

"Up to now, after deducting what has been consumed, my total luck has reached 1463 points."

"According to this growth rate, when I fully operate the coal mine, the entire Fengping County, even Qingyu County, and even several surrounding counties will be affected by this coal mine, either in changes in living conditions or changes in income."

"In this way, my luck will soon reach tens of thousands, and I will have enough space in my pocket to use it."

Lin Ze was calculating his recent actions and planning for the growth of his luck.

------------------

After bathing, Lin Ze made arrangements and went directly to bed.

Early the next morning, after Lin Ze had breakfast after morning exercises, he took a group of servants and craftsmen and took a slow carriage to Fenglin Township.

Fenglin Township is about thirty-five miles away from Fengping County. Except for the wasteland containing coal mines, there are many maple trees growing on the land in other areas of the entire township, hence its name.

Today’s task is to plan the mining area in Fenglin Township and determine where to build the buildings needed for the coal mine.

After traveling for a period of time, Lin Ze and his party had arrived at their destination.

This is a wasteland covering an area of ​​ten square kilometers. The interior of the wasteland is slightly undulating, forming some small hillsides.

Lin Ze did not delay and took a group of people directly to a small hillside with many areas showing dark color. This is the open-pit coal mine.

"This is the mining area of ​​the coal mine. I would like you all to plan the living area of ​​the coal mine according to my needs."

Lin Ze pointed at this open-pit coal mine and spoke to the many craftsmen on one side.

Yesterday, Lin Ze had already told these craftsmen about his construction needs. There is no need to repeat them now. He just needs to let these craftsmen freely develop according to the actual situation.

There are specialties in the art industry, but now we have to build large buildings and accommodate many people to live here. We can't be as casual as building warehouses in the mountains before.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I promise to fix it beautifully for you."

The leader, a craftsman who was in charge of ink-making, smiled and patted his chest in assurance.

Because there were three engineering teams competing, the other two were not to be outdone and promised: "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, it is not only beautiful, but it can be repaired quickly and uses less materials."

In response, Lin Ze just kept smiling and thanked him.

After that, many craftsmen took their tools to conduct on-site inspections and determine the construction plan.

While waiting for everyone to finalize the construction plan, Lin Ze was a little idle.

He took out a biography of a historical figure from the Zhou Dynasty and planned to read it as a novel to pass the time.

Electronic products are not allowed here in Dazhou, otherwise there may be more ways to pass the time.

But it didn't take long before someone came to the door. They were people living in a village near the barren mountain.

A whole village of adults and children came here, not only to inquire about the news, but also to watch the fun.

In this ordinary country life, having a nobleman from the city come with his servants is a big deal.

"This old man is Zhang Dayu, the village chief of Blackstone Village."

"I don't know why you are here, noble man?"

A plainly dressed old man stepped forward and bowed, greeting Lin Ze.

Black Rock Village, as its name suggests, is named after this coal.

Nature is so magical. Although there is no grass growing on this side of the wasteland, the land on the other side beyond Black Rock Village is very good and suitable for farming.

There is also a small river connected to the Yangchun River. During normal times, the villagers of Heishi Village can go fishing.

"Elders don't need to be polite."

"I spent a lot of money to buy this piece of wasteland with the government, and I plan to mine the coal, that is, pebbles, and sell it. You don't have to worry about the coal being poisonous. As long as you keep the ventilation when burning, it can be used safely. You don't have to worry about the coal being poisoned.



"When the coal factory and mine are opened, everyone in the village can come to work in the mine. I will take care of your food, food, housing, and wages."

"In addition, if the villagers have a lot of vegetables, fruits, rice, noodles and meat to sell, they can take it to the mine canteen after the coal mine is established, and they will be purchased at a high price."

Lin Ze stepped forward to help the village chief named Zhang Dayu, smiled and made his intention clear in a few words.

When I saw Zhang Dayu frowning when he heard that he was going to mine coal and sell it, he even explained the matter of coal poisoning.

"So that's it, great!"

"My lord, I'm sorry. I'll tell everyone the good news now."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dayu suddenly became excited.

They were originally worried that this noble person would bring about some bad changes, but now it sounds like it is a good thing.

So he turned around and relayed what Lin Ze had just said to others.

"The folk customs are quite simple."

Lin Ze watched the group of people gradually become excited as Zhang Dayu narrated, and even looked at his fellow villagers with grateful eyes.

I gave a comment in my heart.

If these locals are not handled well, they will become a big hidden danger.

For example, if they are jealous of the interests of coal mines, they might dig holes in the road for transporting coal, or put poisonous mushrooms or other unclean things in the water in the mining area, or even go to extremes and think of ways to destroy open-pit coal mines.

Give it a try.

Even if the army can be mobilized to suppress these unruly people, to be honest, it is better to win them over with some small favors and align their interests with the coal mines.

In this case, the probability of the appearance of unruly people can be minimized.
