"Heh, you're not bad, kid!"

Liu Wei smiled and said, "After you collect this money, don't forget to pay taxes to the strategist."

"In addition, workers' wages must not be delayed and must be paid on time."

"They have money in hand, they're bound to spend it! Everything here in Woye is just beginning, there are so many opportunities!"

Guo Luo seemed to understand but not quite, and scratched his head.

"well!"

Liu Wei could only patiently guide him, "You should discuss with Prefect Zhang Liao about building a street near the coal mine and constructing houses..."

"I understand. Should we open brothels and taverns nearby so that these workers have somewhere to relax?"

After being prompted by Liu Wei, Guo Luo immediately spoke up.

"Open a brothel my foot!"

Liu Wei scolded him with exasperation, "You are a guard of my Marquis's mansion, how could you go and run a brothel?"

"I want you and Prefect Zhang to discuss and decide that after the house is repaired, you should advertise it widely and rent it out."

"Regardless of whether his business is good or bad, you and Magistrate Zhang just need to collect the money."

"I see! I understand now!"

Guo Luo's admiration for Liu Wei at this moment was beyond measure.

With over ten thousand workers and a thousand soldiers in the coal mine, their leisure activities would be a windfall.

I was truly amazed when I saw Lord Hou lifting weights a few days ago. I never expected that Lord Hou would come up with such a brilliant way to make money today.

If you follow the Marquis, even a pig can fly!

"Rest assured, my lord, I will definitely earn more and more money for you!"

Guo Luo's bronze face became even brighter.

"Alright, this Woye Coal Mine, along with the blacksmith shop, carpentry shop, and honeycomb briquette workshop, are now in your care!"

Liu Wei clapped his hands. "Seven days have passed since I stayed in Woye. It's time for me to go back."

This is how things can be done in fertile land, and Yao Guangxiao's 150,000 farmers represent an even larger market.

This is the advantage of a large population: it facilitates currency circulation, stimulates domestic demand, and allows the economy to operate in a virtuous cycle.

"Respectfully seeing off the Marquis!"

Liu Wei declined Guo Luo's escort and left Woye to return to Wuyuan City.

Guo Yang and more than twenty guards successfully completed their escort mission and embarked on a new career.

At this moment, Liu Wei has fulfilled his promise.
