"Let me put it this way, there really are treasures on those mountains, and you bought them. There are official permits in black and white, so no one will try to take them from you. But I can tell you with certainty that out of 100,000 people, not even one person will have that kind of luck."
"But you never know. What if you really do have good luck? If you're destined for it, no one can stop you, right?"
That last sentence was just to prevent Qiao Lian'er from being upset and refusing to pay.
When the Grand Manager first saw Qiao Lian'er, he thought she had an extraordinary demeanor and was probably quite capable.
After getting to know him, I realized he was a good-for-nothing. He was just a rich kid from the Central Plains, who had come out to gamble with his money.
Qiao Lian'er slammed the 100,000 taels of silver notes on the table, and the approval document was quickly given to her.
As she left the Grand Judge's residence, she could still hear the Grand Judge and his officials mocking her.
Qiao Lian'er shrugged, not caring.
With the permit in hand, those three mountains were hers. Just thinking about the jade, rubies, and emeralds inside, Qiao Lian'er felt that the world was infinitely wonderful.
She had never made such a profitable deal before, using 100,000 taels of silver to take over a mine with an initial value of over 100 million taels.
I spent two days in Dawa, wandering around, eating local delicacies, and admiring the exotic architecture.
Although it is not a bustling place, it is still the capital of a country, and its main selling point is "Since we're here."
Qiao Lian'er hired an army of a thousand men, which was the maximum number that out-of-town merchants could hire, while the local warlords could command tens of thousands of soldiers.
She will return to Kachin first, and this army will be led by Pei Shijiu personally, with a translator. They will need to be trained along the way. They cannot be expected to be very loyal, but they should at least play a role and not cause trouble.
This task was assigned to Pei Shijiu.
"Be careful, they don't know us yet." Qiao Lian'er looked at the dark-faced soldiers. It was pitch black. The people here were relatively short. She picked the tallest one. They were all in their early twenties, but none of them were as tall as Pei Shijiu, a sixteen-year-old boy. He stood out among them in his white clothes, standing out like a crane among chickens.
"Don't worry, I will train them to be as obedient as possible," Pei Shijiu said. "People are the same no matter where they are. If you give them enough benefits and enough deterrence, they will behave."
"Then I'll be going now." Qiao Lian'er took the approval document with her; she needed to make some preparations so that everyone would know that she had obtained those three mountains.
“Be careful there by yourself. I estimate it will be a few days before you arrive.”
He looked at her, his eyes filled with gentle concern.
After all, they were leading so many soldiers on foot.
Qiao Lian'er arrived at the designated location, Kachin.
They hadn't shown up for two days and hadn't said goodbye to anyone, so Uncle Yin instructed the soldiers to keep a close eye on their whereabouts.
"She's back, and she even brought the permits. So she went to Dawa. She's going to open a mine. Where is she opening a mine?" Uncle Yin asked.
"It seems to be that location, those three mountains," the soldier pointed.
Uncle looked in that direction, clearly incredulous. This girl was able to judge with 50-60% accuracy, so she must have some insight. He never expected her to make such a mistake.
Those three mountains were quite majestic and connected together, making them look spectacular. They had already been explored, and the mountains were covered with worthless rocks.
