Not long after, one of the subordinates rushed back, looking incredulous, and whispered to Captain Tang.
"Captain Tang, we just picked a few stones and found that each one is worth over a thousand taels of silver, and one of them is even worth seven thousand taels."
"We were afraid of attracting attention, so we didn't dare to continue driving."
"But since it was randomly selected, it means that the other stones are probably in the same situation."
"What?" Captain Tang exclaimed in disbelief.
His gaze returned to Qiao Lian'er, filled with astonishment. She was just a teenage girl with a still somewhat childish voice; how could she be so amazing?
Considering what Boss Zuo mentioned about Miss Chen being an extraordinary person, it's no surprise that her friends are no less remarkable than him.
Captain Tang was overjoyed. Not only was Boss Zuo going to make a fortune, but he was going to get rich too.
He selected a large pile of valuable stones, and by secretly tampering with them, he could provide enough for his entire family, three generations, to live comfortably.
Thinking this, Captain Tang was filled with even greater respect, and he smiled broadly at Qiao Lian'er, almost drooling.
“Miss Shui, please continue. I was blind and did not recognize your greatness. I have offended you. Please forgive me, you are a magnanimous person.”
Before the words were even finished, one of the boys snorted.
"Captain Tang, I think you have your own good plans."
Captain Tang was surprised that the young man had seen through his thoughts, but he didn't try to hide it and just chuckled.
"I consider both others and myself; I'm a person who still adheres to principles."
From morning till night, Qiao Lian'er went back and forth between several warehouse areas, picking out enough goods for Boss Zuo.
She didn't pick out all the good goods; she left some for other caravans. Otherwise, over time, various drawbacks would be exposed, and Boss Zuo's caravan wouldn't be able to do well.
As soon as it got dark, Captain Tang led his team to set off.
This time, the efficiency and speed greatly reduced the cost of staying, and increased profits many times over.
With so many good items in hand, it's best not to linger in a place like this; leaving quickly is the best course of action.
“They’re gone. Tomorrow we’ll go look at the mountains. I’ll also take over a few mountains and become a mine owner. That way, all the treasures at the foot of the mountains will be mine,” Qiao Lian’er said.
Pei Shijiu looked at her, a smile playing in his eyes: "This is the real reason you came."
"Well, let's see the mountain first, then we'll go see their chief minister."
In the Kingdom of Puchen, the Grand Minister was in charge of managing the country's mineral resources. These warlords and wealthy merchants who wanted to become mine owners obtained permits from the Grand Minister.
In the Kingdom of Puchen, some of the mining areas are monopolized by the imperial court, while others are sold to warlords and wealthy merchants. The latter are relatively independent, which is why she wants to become the mountain lord, because she will have greater autonomy. As long as she has enough troops under her command, no one will dare to provoke her.
The mineral resources of a large mine may not be exhausted even after several decades.
While they were selecting stones, Danso went to work as a translator for someone else. In the darkness of night, he ran up to the two men.
"Come to my house for dinner."
Qiao Lian'er could tell that his family was very poor, and they had to eat a little rice each time, so it was best not to disturb them.
"No need, I brought food, thank you." There was plenty of food and sleeping space in the space, so she didn't have to worry at all when she came to this place.
Dan Suo scratched his head: "But I've already asked my family to cook extra rice porridge, it would be a waste if you don't come."
Seeing this, Qiao Lian'er didn't want to hurt the other person's feelings, so she nodded and said, "Let's go then."
