After Ye Lanxuan and Jin Yuguang left, Mu Cheng returned to the hall and asked the questions that had been on his mind for a long time.
"Brother Hanyan, why are you so generous? In addition to the wages they should be paid, you even gave them another 20% bonus. I just inquired and found out that the Yuan family only gave them a monthly salary of 12,000 taels of silver before." After taking a sip of tea brought by the maid, Mu Cheng asked Mu Hanyan curiously.
For ordinary guards, a monthly salary of ten thousand taels is already a sky-high price, but these swordsmen are all very strong. Even if the Yuan family is ruthless, they dare not pay too low.
But it is precisely for this reason that the Yuan family's mine is struggling to operate and even unsustainable.
Mu Hanyan is so generous, has she never thought about the consequences? Could it be that the playboy's habit of spending lavishly despite having too little money has relapsed?
"If we don't offer such good conditions, how can we keep them here?" Mu Hanyan said lightly.
"Why do we want to keep them here?" Mu Cheng was even more confused.
"You know the Zhao and Zhou families' evil ambitions for our Mu family, right? Sooner or later, they will make a move on us. Yuan Tianbo may be a bit foolish, but he was right when he said, 'An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure.' Do you think they will watch us acquire such a meteorite gold mine?"
As soon as Yuan Tianbo spread the news, countless people, both openly and covertly, would come to cause trouble.
These people are quite powerful. As long as their fate is tied to that of the mine, they will stay there wholeheartedly. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in Xiaochi City will destroy their last hope. Do you think they will fight to the death? "Mu Hanyan smiled slightly, her face full of confidence, and spoke in a deep voice. She did not hide these concerns from those present. Wu Qiyun and Yan Yuchu, needless to say, were completely trustworthy.
Mu Hanyan had always been worried about the Zhao and Zhou families, wondering if they would take action beforehand. This meteorite gold mine was extremely important to the Mu family's future, and no mistakes could be made. Leaving these people behind was secondary to mining operations; the main purpose was to ensure the mine's safety.
"So that's how it is." Mu Cheng suddenly realized. To be honest, he had never thought about it so far.
Wu Qiyun also looked at Mu Hanyan with admiration. He had somewhat guessed Mu Hanyan's intentions, but he had to remember that he had been designated as the Young Master seven years earlier, and had begun to get involved in some family business matters, which had even affected his cultivation. It was not surprising that he would think of these things. Mu Hanyan, the legendary playboy and a master swordsman, was a master who would focus on cultivation and not have the time to think about other things. He was a little surprised that Mu Hanyan could think so far ahead.
"But in this case, the expenses will be too high. You know, this meteorite gold mine is not only difficult to mine, but also extremely difficult to refine. It is very likely that the income will not cover the expenses." Mu Cheng thought about it and said worriedly.
"That's a problem." Mu Hanyan said helplessly, holding her chin.
Although leaving those swordsmen behind would no longer worry about the safety and defense of the meteorite gold mine, if the Yuan family still carried out refining and identification as before, the cost of alchemical liquid would be extremely high. This vein of ore would still be useless, and it would be useless to eat it, but it might even drag down the Mu family.
"Hey, why doesn't it work again? Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. What's going on?" Just here, Ling Baobao's voice came over.
I saw this guy squatting in the corner with a pile of raw stones in front of him. He kept making hand gestures, but the light pattern flames in his hands were flickering, and he could no longer refine the meteorite gold raw stones as smoothly as before.
"How could I forget about this guy? I have a solution." Mu Hanyan patted his forehead, and his mind suddenly became clear.
