Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

Chapter 688: It Can Only Last For Half A Month At Most!

"This is a way. I won't hide it from my nephew. There is indeed a shortage of labor in the town.

"I have proposed to transfer some strong men from the surrounding villages."

"However, it was rejected by many people."

"After all, they don't want to leave their homeland."

"Moreover, I heard that they have united and organized a protest march, hoping to get a change in the court's policy."

"It's just that this kind of protest has no effect at all. I estimate that this group of unscrupulous people can only last for half a month."

“Once expelled, those 19 groups of unruly people will definitely wander around and eventually die of famine and cold.

Su Ran nodded and said: "If it were me, I wouldn't want to leave the place where my ancestors lived."

"So, it's not easy to get them out of here."

After a pause, Su Ran said again:

"However, there are exceptions to everything."

Wang Zhixian's eyes lit up: "Did Nephew Su Xian have any good ideas?"

"I plan to buy several nearby towns!"

Su Ran said in a deep voice.

Wang Zhixian was suddenly startled, and then said bitterly:

"Nephew Su Xian, I know you are very rich, but you must not mess around with this matter.

"Do you know who is in control of those towns?"

"That's Zhao's Trading Company. Their influence spreads across every state and county. Even the royal family must be courteous. We can't afford to offend them!"

Su Ran smiled and said: "Wang Zhixian is overly worried. Since I said I want to buy these towns, I am naturally confident.

"What do you mean?"

Wang Zhixian was puzzled.

"It's not interesting. I just want to buy them and turn them into iron mines. In the future, they will become the only ones in Nanling Town.'

Su Ran smiled.

Wang Zhixian's face froze slightly, and he smiled bitterly and said: "My dear nephew, please spare us!"

"You are too whimsical. Even if Zhao's Trading Company takes care of us, you can't create a unique iron mine, let alone make it unique.

"Because this kind of mine is unique to the entire dynasty and no one can prevent it."

"Oh?" Su Ran raised her eyebrows: "Why is that?"

"I am not sure as well."

Wang Zhixian said bitterly: "Perhaps only Zhao Wushuang, the helmsman of Zhao's Trading Company, knows the reason!"

"He knew the reason, but why didn't he tell anyone else?"

"Who knows? Maybe he just likes research!"

Su Ran smiled slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

"Wangzhi County, let's get back to business. I'm going to expand the height of the iron mine to five feet!"

Wang Zhixian was surprised: "So big?"

"Yeah!" Su Ran nodded and said:

"Wang Zhixian, you have also seen what I am capable of. Do you think that with me here, the expansion of the iron mine will become a problem?"

Wang Zhixian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Without Su Ran's words, he would not have believed it.

But just now, he witnessed Su Ran's miracle with his own eyes.

That scene was still fresh in his memory and is still unforgettable to this day.

Although I don't know why I suddenly had such an idea.

However, since Su 167 proposed it, he had to consider the feasibility of this idea.

After thinking about it, Wang Zhixian asked:

"Master Su, I want to know how much silver you plan to spend to buy these towns?"

Su Ran held out a finger.

"Ten taels?" Su Ran shook his head.

"One hundred taels?" Still shaking his head.

"Is it Qianliang?"

Su Ran smiled and held out a third finger.

"Three thousand taels? Wang Zhixian's breathing became rapid.

Su Ran smiled and said nothing, Youmai looked at Wang Zhixian.

"Is it thirty thousand taels?" Su Ran shook his head again.

Wang Zhixian's eyes widened, his heartbeat stopped, and he said in shock:

"You... are you really planning to empty out the town and sell it to you?"
