Supervisor Hong asked quickly, "May I ask, sir, what are the arrangements for the next step? I will also prepare in advance and cooperate with you."
Zhao Hao said calmly, "Just now I heard from Director Hong that there is a Hesheng Refining Valley not far from the mine?"
“I want to go and see!”
Hong Ziyue immediately laughed and said, "Then I will accompany you, sir. You may not know that Shenglian Valley means the valley where pig iron is refined."
"There were many people gathered there, including workers and their families, as well as quite a few businessmen."
"Over time, it has evolved into a small town."
“The conditions will be much better.”
"Even if you didn't mention it, I was about to bring it up. I didn't expect that you and I would have the same idea!"
Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Manager Hong to lead the way!"
Hong Ziyue said, "Sir, I have some official business to attend to, so I can't personally lead you there. How about this, I'll ask a capable steward to lead you there, and I'll arrange everything for you!"
Zhao Hao nodded, "Thank you very much, Director Hong."
The group left the mining area and rushed to Shenglian Valley. Qingniao rode his horse to Zhao Hao's side.
"Sir, are we just leaving like this?"
Zhao Hao smiled softly and asked, "What else?"
Bluebird shook his head: "The situation at the mine must have been adjusted by them."
Zhao Hao said calmly: "We are just trying to find out the situation first. As for any problems, we are not in a hurry."
The group did not walk fast, and after more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the Shenglian Valley.
Not to mention, this valley is really big. Apart from the place where pig iron is refined, it is really like a small town and is quite lively.
They found an inn and stayed there. The next morning, they set out again for the next mine.
Then there is the farthest and largest mine.
After completing this cycle, five days have passed.
After understanding the situation of the first mine, Zhao Hao handed over the Blue Bird.
"Miss Bluebird, notify the army to march out and seal off all three mines. No one is allowed to enter or leave."
"Also, send someone to notify the supervisors of the other two mining areas and have them come over immediately. I need to make some important arrangements."
Bluebird nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Master!"
Having said that, he immediately took the order.
At noon the next day, two other mining area managers, including Hong Ziyue, appeared in front of Zhao Hao.
As soon as Zhao Hao opened his mouth, it was like a thunderbolt: "Three supervisors, Zhao Hao is under the order of His Majesty to manage all affairs of the three major mining areas."
"From today on, there can only be one voice in the three mining areas, and that is my voice, Zhao Hao!"
"From today on, whatever I say is what it is, and no one can question it."
"Do you understand, all three?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Ziyue and the other three hurriedly said respectfully, "I understand. We will follow your orders, sir!"
Zhao Hao nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, in that case, I will issue the first order!"
"Listen carefully, all three supervisors. From now on, all mining activities in the three mining areas will be stopped!"
"Call all the stewards and miners together."
“Re-screen.”
"Those who are physically unfit will be eliminated, leaving only the strong and healthy young men."
“Secondly, screen all the miners one by one to see if they have received their wages in full.”
"If not, the mine will have to make up for the difference!"
"My three lords, do you have any questions?"
It was fine when they heard the first part, but when they heard about the need for additional money, Hong Ziyue and the other two's faces all darkened.
Seeing this, Zhao Hao couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Why, judging from the expressions of the three adults, is this matter difficult?"
Hong Ziyue quickly said, "Sir, the miners' wages are indeed a little short, and it is right to compensate them."
"only……"
"There's no money coming out of the mine now!"
"Please understand, sir!"
Zhao Hao's eyes suddenly glared when he heard this, and he asked, "What do you mean? The mine can't pay?"
"Director Hong, as far as I know, the miners' expenses are all directly funded by the court."
"These funds will be sent to Qinzhou Prefecture first, and then sent back from the prefecture."
"You said you had no money, what did you mean?"
"Did the Qinzhou government fail to deliver the money, or did it deliver it but you didn't distribute it to the miners?"
Hong Ziyue was suddenly speechless: "This... this..."
Zhao Hao smiled softly and said, "Manager Hong, just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to be so hesitant."
Hong Ziyue said: "Neither, we just spent some money because of the mine's expenses, such as food, accommodation, clothing, and hiring doctors for sick miners."
“So, I owe some miners wages.”
"I hope you will understand!"
Zhao Hao nodded: "So that's what happened. It's nothing. I'll send someone to accompany the three supervisors back and do what I asked immediately."
Hong Ziyue said, "Sir, do you really want to stop the work? This is a serious matter and we can't delay it for even a day!"
Upon hearing this, the other two supervisors also nodded and said, "Yes, sir, mining cannot stop for a moment!"
Zhao Hao waved his hand and said, "You three don't need to worry about this matter, just do as I tell you!"
Seeing that Zhao Hao was so determined, the three of them stopped talking.
He bowed and said goodbye and left.
Looking at the three people leaving, Zhao Hao snorted and laughed, saying, "It's really interesting. This Hong Ziyue is obviously in charge of the smallest mine."
