Chapter 277: Casting Clan
The Chief of the Zhu Clan said: "As long as the master allows, we will do our best to explore new mines and mine more minerals for your use."
Zhu Mingqing's expression was indescribable, and he tried his best to call out to the little world spirit in his mind.
"Did the two tribes intermarry in the previous Immortal Palace?"
The little world spirit thought for a moment and said, "No, the Immortal Lord won't allow it!"
"Why?"
Little World Spirit: "It seems that the Zhu Clan is very strong. If their numbers grow too large, they might hinder the development of other creatures."
That being said, it seems to make sense.
Zhu Mingqing looked at the Zhu Clan in his hand and coughed lightly, "How about this, as long as you behave well, I will consider this matter."
If you want your subordinates to work hard, you have to promise them something.
As expected, the patriarch of the Zhu clan was very happy: "Yes! Don't worry, I will do my best to dig out the gold nuggets later."
In addition, Zhu Mingqing also discovered many new medicinal herbs on some newly added hills, and they are all quite old.
For example, the ginseng in my hand that looks like a fat baby, if I take it out, I'm afraid it can be worshipped as a lucky charm.
Because the speed of time has become thirty times that of the outside world, many crops grow in an instant.
Looking at the busy Di Clan in the distance, Zhu Mingqing felt guilty for a second.
They work diligently for you, and you still want them to get married. This is really inappropriate!
However, I haven't asked the opinion of the Earth Clan leader. Maybe he doesn't object?
Zhu Mingqing shook his head and thought, forget it, let the two tribes solve the problem. He must not get involved. Otherwise, if he showed any bias, it would really affect the ecological balance.
With Jinshan as his foundation, Zhu Mingqing immediately felt confident and even slept very deeply.
When the next day dawned, her face turned rosy and she greeted Luo Huai happily.
Luo Huai had a strange expression on his face. Was his mother really that careless or just indifferent? What he said last night could be considered offensive.
"Huai'er, come here!" Zhu Mingqing waved.
Luo Huai's body shuddered. There was nothing wrong with his grandfather calling him by that name, but why did it sound so corny when his mother called him that?
"I've thought carefully about what you said last night. Since you feel that your mother doesn't rely on you, I would like to ask you for a favor." Zhu Mingqing felt that since the child wanted to be needed, we couldn't let him down.
Luo Huai: "...Mother, please speak."
It would be fine if there was no change, but the change is so big that I find it a bit difficult to adapt.
"Don't you have secret guards? If there are enough of them, give me a hundred?" Zhu Mingqing said casually.
Luo Huai choked on his saliva, his face flushed: "Ahem... one hundred?"
There are only about two hundred secret guards under his command.
As soon as my mother opened her mouth, she wanted to go so much!
Zhu Mingqing nodded: "Isn't there that much?"
Luo Huai couldn't bear to disappoint his mother, so he suppressed his heartache and said, "Yes, there is, but... forget it. Give me a few days, and I will send it to the mansion for you."
"No need!" Zhu Mingqing said casually, "I'll tell you the address when the time comes, and you can just bring people there."
"Then mother, could you please tell me what you plan to do with these people?" Luo Huai asked again, "I don't mean to ask for their purpose, but these secret guards are very capable. If I don't tell you where to go, I'm afraid some people won't want to go."
Zhu Mingqing nodded: "It doesn't matter. Just take as many as you can. As for what they are used for, I don't need to explain the purpose of the secret guards, right?"
When Luo Huai told Sheng San about this, Sheng San was indeed confused for a moment, but he soon thought of a problem. The lady was very generous, and he didn't know if he could get through.
Anyway, I am a family with the Second Young Master, so it doesn’t count as betrayal, right?
Why make such a clear distinction?
He asked the question very sincerely.
Luo Huai's face froze: "What did you say?"
Sheng San repeated tentatively, "I wonder if I can go to Madam's place?"
Luo Huai looked at the other secret guards around him and found that many of them were also tempted.
It turns out that those worries are not unnecessary, and it is necessary to consider and worry about the loyalty of these people to oneself!
"Of course not!" Luo Huai refused fiercely, "You are all top fighters, I will never allow you to go to Mother's side!"
It's not that he is stingy, it's just that it's hard to find a good subordinate.
Even his mother came to poach people from him.
"But I heard that the secret guards around the madam get twenty taels of salary a month." Sheng San said quietly.
Luo Huai had a heart attack: "I'll give you twenty taels too!"
Sheng San was overjoyed: "I will be loyal to you and will never change my mind!"
Others echoed: "No second thoughts!"
Luo Huai: ...
I don't believe you!
Who just wanted to go to his mother for twenty taels of monthly salary?
However, with twenty taels per person, plus the bonus for missions, his monthly expenses are rising rapidly.
Even with the treasury given by my grandfather, when I build a larger team later, I may really need the support of my third brother or mother...
Hey, I just said that I want to rely on my mother.
The result is...
Luo Huai felt guilty, so he immediately picked a group of good players and easily gathered a hundred people.
He deliberately delayed for ten days, but the secret guards still kept asking questions.
Luo Huai had no choice but to send the person to the place his mother said.
On a mountain outside Guancheng.
…
Zhu Mingqing brought the little world spirit and the casting clan in the space, but it took them seven or eight days to search before they determined that there was iron ore in this mountain.
That’s right, it’s the iron mine that is strictly controlled by the imperial court.
The mountain is ownerless and is a whole day's distance from the city. It is very hidden and it takes half a day to walk into the mountain. It can be seen that the location of this iron mine is very secret.
In order to avoid attracting too much attention, Zhu Mingqing also bought several other mountains around the mine from Magistrate Wang.
Of course, Magistrate Wang was very happy, after all, this was a huge income.
It is said that they want to plant fruit trees and medicinal herbs, which will bring income to Guancheng in the future.
Because the surrounding area was too remote, he also asked whether it was necessary to move a village there to increase popularity.
After being rejected, Magistrate Wang didn't bother with it anymore.
I don’t know how much wealth is hidden in this now bare hilltop.
The mountain road was rugged. If there hadn't been someone leading the way, Luo Huai and his group would have been lost in this endless forest.
The first time he saw Zhu Mingqing, Luo Huai couldn't help but ask, "Mother, there's nothing here. Why did you ask me to bring people here? What exactly do you want to do?"
It's really curious.
The other secret guards also nodded and looked around. Could there be some treasure hidden in the mountains?
You know what, they actually guessed half right.
But then, Zhu Mingqing said directly: "Build a house!"
Everyone was stunned.
"The materials are all ready. Just go and buy whatever you need. It's just a bit far, but there are bonuses." Zhu Mingqing has always been clear about rewards and punishments.
When everyone heard that they were asked to build a house, although the secret guards knew a little bit about everything, wasn't it a bit of a waste of their talents to use them to build a house?
But when they heard there was a bonus, they all perked up.
Even Luo Huai was interested: "Mother, do I have one too?"
Zhu Mingqing nodded and said, "I'll give it to you first, but please keep it confidential. After the house is built, each of you will receive a bonus of ten taels of silver."
As expected, the eldest lady is still generous.
As for the house, if we are quick, it can be built in half a month.
Luo Huai immediately responded: "No problem."
If others get ten taels, I will definitely get double it.
There aren't many people who can make a living now, so any money I can earn is good. You have to know that my monthly salary is only ten taels.
Everyone else started to move. Zhu Mingqing patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "Come with me. I have something to tell you!"
