Although he didn't show it, Zheng Yi knew that Zhou Kunshan was very unconvinced now.
During this time, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to handling official duties.
This guy is a natural talent for internal affairs.
Due to his background, he could only manage a village in the past.
But now, besides Zhao Tianming, he is the busiest person in the entire mine.
Zhou Kunshan is quick to handle various government affairs, and he is also willing to deal with such problems. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is like a fish in water.
But after working hard for so long, I didn't get a good placement in front of my lord.
Naturally, Zhou Kunshan could not help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.
Zheng Yi asked with a smile: "What, you are not convinced?"
Zhou Kunshan looked away: "Kunshan doesn't dare."
This appearance made the smile on Zheng Yi's face even brighter. This was the first time he saw Zhou Kunshan like this.
"Oh? You don't dare, but it's not impossible."
Zhou Kunshan murmured, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he did not speak. He just lowered his head and said: "I know my mistake, please punish me, my lord."
From his calm change of words, Zheng Yi could tell that he was really angry.
"Kun Shan, it's not surprising that those businessmen only care about profits. Don't say that these people are just insects wandering in the gray area. Even if they are real businessmen, they are no different from them."
"For businessmen, there are always only two things they care about, how much money they can make, and how they can make more money."
Zhou Kunshan gritted his teeth and cursed: "These damn guys, I know they only have money in their eyes."
Zheng Yi said calmly: "Kunshan, if you think about it from another perspective, if these profiteers were not like this, wouldn't it be very detrimental to us?"
"Ah?" Zhou Kunshan was dumbfounded, not understanding how the greed of those businessmen would benefit him.
Zheng Yi sighed helplessly.
Although this guy is quite good at internal affairs, he really doesn't know much about economic matters.
"If you think about it, if the businessmen we trade with are upright and rigid people, then they will not operate in the black market at all, nor will they buy or sell things that are not allowed to be bought and sold."
"If this is the case, then no matter how valuable the fire rock mine is in our hands, what is its use?"
"Except for practicing, this thing can neither be eaten nor worn. Does it have any other effect on us?"
"It is precisely these black market traders who allow us to exchange fire rock mines for our own necessities."
"On the surface, we used precious cultivation resources in exchange for some worthless things, which seems to be a huge loss."
"However, we can still exchange the fire rock ore for something after all. It is much better than leaving those ores there and no one cares about it, isn't it?"
Zheng Yi tried his best to explain to Zhou Kunshan patiently and in the simplest and most straightforward terms.
Zhou Kunshan's face was full of confusion: "What my lord said does make sense, but..."
"There's nothing wrong with it." Zheng Yi interrupted Zhou Kunshan: "I've told you everything that needs to be said. You can go back and think about the rest by yourself."
"Now, let's talk about how to deal with those black marketeers."
Zhou Kunshan was confused. He felt that he couldn't keep up with his lord's thoughts.
Obviously just now, he said that these businessmen were very important, so why did he turn around and deal with them?
Zheng Yi glanced sideways at Zhou Kunshan: "One code is one code. I just want to tell you that the things these businessmen operate are very important to us."
“But that doesn’t mean I have to turn a blind eye to their extravagant efforts.”
"Please give me your instructions, my lord." Zhou Kunshan had completely given up thinking. No matter how I feel, all the good and bad things have been said by my own lord.
"This is a problem you have to deal with. You must let those profiteers learn a lesson and not dare to speak freely. But at the same time, you cannot completely have a stalemate with these black marketeers."
"Otherwise, we will not be able to obtain the resources we need through this channel."
"This matter must be dealt with as soon as possible. The longer it is delayed, the more difficult it will be."
Zhou Kunshan didn’t even know how he left.
Obviously he came to his lord to ask about how to deal with this matter, but in the end he just listened to a lot of theories and was confused about how to solve the problem.
In desperation, Zhou Kunshan could only find Feng Haitao to complain.
Of course, another purpose is also to get some advice from Feng Haitao.
After all, Feng Haitao is one of the few people in this mine who has actually read books.
Unexpectedly, after listening to his story, Feng Haitao showed a helpless expression: "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhou, I really can't help you with this matter. You can only find a way to solve it yourself."< br>
Zhou Kunshan said angrily: "You little white-eyed wolf, did you take good care of you back then? If it weren't for me, would you be able to survive today with your small body?"
"Now, uncle, I have found you in trouble, and you actually stood idly by?"
"Okay, then just pretend I haven't been here today. From now on..."
Feng Haitao seemed not to have expected Zhou Kunshan's reaction to be so great, and hurriedly persuaded him: "Uncle Zhou, can you please calm down first? It's not that I don't want to help, but that I can't help."
"Don't you see it? This is a test for you by my lord."
"If I help without authorization, what if the lord finds out..."
It was not until this moment that Zhou Kunshan finally understood the idea of justice.
"It's okay if I don't help. You can give me some tips. I'm so confused right now. I don't even know where to start."
Feng Haitao hesitated for a moment, thinking that he was just giving a hint and it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Zhao Tianming." After saying a name, Feng Haitao said nothing again.
Knowing that he couldn't ask anything more, Zhou Kunshan left Feng Haitao's house angrily and went straight to Zhao Tianming's study.
This time Zhou Kunshan learned the lesson wisely and instead of telling the truth to Zhao Tianming, he entered his room and started losing his temper.
"These damn profiteers, sooner or later I will kill them all!"
Seeing his murderous look, Zhao Tianming was also startled and quickly brought a cup of tea: "Brother Zhou, let's calm down first. What happened to cause such a big fire?"
A month ago, Zhao Tianming didn't even bother to take a look at a guy like Zhou Kunshan.
But to this day, he can only welcome him diligently.
"It's not just those guys from the black market. They've already taken a huge advantage when we exchange fire rock ore for food, cloth, etc. But these guys are not satisfied yet and want to increase the price."
"I know that businessmen are not good at anything."
"Ask the lord for instructions now, mobilize the guards of the mine, and kill them all without leaving a trace!"
He had a murderous look on his face, as if he was really determined to go on a killing spree.
Zhao Tianming hurriedly stopped: "Wait. Brother Zhou, please wait. Things can still turn around, so there is no need to rush into killing." Just kidding, if Zhou Kunshan really killed all the black market traders, his people wouldn't survive. ah.
There are people of his in the black market, which Zhou Kunshan definitely doesn't know.
As for whether Zheng Yi knew about this, Zhao Tianming felt that he should know, but he didn't care about such things.
As the owner of a mine, Zhao Tianming's salary is certainly not low compared to ordinary people. But when he was in his position, he couldn't really expect to live on this salary.
In order to prevent anything from happening in the future, Zhao Tianming himself can be said to be extremely clean and will definitely not do any illegal operations.
In this case, you will naturally need some other means to increase your income.
Some people in the black market seemed to have nothing to do with him on the surface, but in fact, he was secretly supporting their businesses.
In the past month, Zhao Tianming made a fortune due to his material transactions with Zheng Yi.
But he didn't expect that he would offend Zhou Kunshan because of this.
"What do you mean!" Zhou Kunshan was delighted.
In any case, Zhao Tianming has been a mine owner for so many years. If the other party could directly come forward, wouldn't the matter be solved?
On the surface, Zhou Kunshan remained calm: "Mine owner, do you have a solution? If you come forward, I think those profiteers who are just sitting on the ground and raising prices should be able to give you a face."
The latest chapter of this novel was first published on 6@9书#. Please go to Liujiu Book Bar to read it!
Zhao Tianming sighed secretly, this guy is really a little naive.
"Brother Zhou, if it can be solved just by my intervention, I will naturally not refuse. But since these businessmen can do black market business, there must be people behind them who we cannot easily offend."
"If I come forward, I can certainly suppress them, but it may not be good news for our mine."
"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhou Kunshan suppressed the impatience in his heart and asked patiently.
"In fact, it is not difficult to solve it. The purchase volume of our mine is large enough and the price is quite generous. It is impossible for those profiteers to let go of such a big piece of fat."
"How about this? I'll spread the word now and plan to go to the county to contact a large chamber of commerce to provide us with goods in the long term."
"Brother Zhou, go and tell those black market merchants to reduce your purchases."
"At that time, it won't be us who are anxious, but the black marketeers."
Zhou Kunshan suddenly realized: "So there is such a way, great! By then, maybe the price can be lowered to the normal market price..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhao Tianming: "Brother Zhou, I advise you not to do this."
"Why? I just want to buy it at the normal market price, and it's not like I won't pay."
Zhao Tianming smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Brother Zhou, what's fake is fake after all. You can hide it for a while but you can't hide it forever."
"Those black marketeers will realize sooner or later that they have been fooled."
"If we continue to trade at the current price, although they will be dissatisfied, they also understand that they cannot continue to test our bottom line."
"Although they have no chance to extract more benefits, the original benefits are still in their hands. No matter how unhappy they are, they will not do anything."
"But if we lower the price too hard, no one knows how those businessmen who have lost their minds will deal with us.
"That's it." Zhou Kunshan vaguely seemed to understand something.
Isn't this the same as how he usually manages Hebend Village?
You can’t ignore it completely, but you can’t overdo it when you do manage it.
Seeing that Zhou Kunshan followed his advice, Zhao Tianming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if the people were saved, the interests would not be harmed too much.
Seeing that everything was on track, a piece of news made everyone nervous.
Three days later, the Zhao family's special commissioner will arrive at the mine.
This special correspondent has only one purpose, to investigate the death causes of three Zhao family members.
"It's so slow." Zheng Yi raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Unlike others, the arrival of this special commissioner made Zheng Yi see something more clearly.
The Zhao family has a way to learn about the death of their family members through some means.
In this case, the person they came to investigate the relevant situation actually took a full month to arrive.
It can be seen how corrupt the current Zhao family has become.
For Zheng Yi, this is a great thing.
"The task of welcoming this guy will be left to you. I have already taken care of the problem. They should not be able to find any problems."
"However, if these people really investigate and find something." Zheng Yi smiled coldly: "You know what to do."
Cold sweat broke out on Zhao Tianming's forehead: "I...I understand."
"That's good." Zheng Yi said calmly: "No matter what the reason is, the Zhao family will never let the traitor go."
Zhao Tianming's heart felt cold when he thought of what Zheng Yi had in his hands. By now, he had no way out.
Soon the special commissioner from the Zhao family arrived.
Before he came, all the brand new mining picks had been put away, and everyone replaced them with the old mining picks that were not very useful.
Despite this, mining efficiency is still much higher than before.
After all, after Zheng Yi took complete control of the mine, these people would at least have enough to eat every day.
Coupled with having enough time to practice, everyone's physical condition has been greatly improved.
In the past, most people would dig a few times and then start exercising to restore spiritual energy. But now, there are many people who can dig thirty or fifty times.
In this regard, Zheng Yi did not let Zhao Tianming hide it.
Some things can be concealed, but some things are absolutely impossible to conceal.
The special commissioner of the Zhao family was contrary to Zheng Yi's expectation. He turned out to be a chubby fat man.
If he hadn't been able to sense his cultivation level, Zheng Yi would have regarded this guy as a waste just by looking at him gasping for breath while taking two steps with the help of others.
After the commissioner got out of the car, everyone in the mine knelt down.
“Welcome to the special commissioner!”
The special correspondent was obviously very satisfied with this battle: "Not bad, not bad. I have always known that Zhao Tianming is very capable."
"This year, mines everywhere are reducing production. Only you can maintain stability and even improve occasionally. Your Excellency is very satisfied with you."
Zhao Tianming bowed his head respectfully: "It's my honor to satisfy your Excellency."
"The little one has prepared a banquet for the adults to welcome him and wash away the dust. I also invite the adults to come and show your appreciation."
The commissioner was about to agree, but suddenly turned his head, looked coldly in the direction of Zheng Yi, and said sternly: "You... I'm talking about you, get here here." (End of Chapter)
