Hmm, Ning Ye has met many people with tempers, but this is the first time he has met someone as even-tempered as Lin Changzai. It's as if he doesn't care about anything for money.
However, this cannot be considered a bad thing. As long as things can be done well, Ning Ye will not care about so much.
"I'm not here for the best coal, but for the worst kind you have. I'll take any amount you have. I wonder if Patriarch Lin can prepare it for me?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Changzai was not only not unhappy, but extremely excited. After all, those rotten eyebrows were tasteless to them, but a pity to throw away. Now someone actually wanted them.
This was like a windfall for him; it was absolutely fantastic.
Lin Changzai pulled out a small abacus from his sleeve, fiddled with it for a while, and then said, "Young master, I alone can prepare at least three hundred carts for you. If you include other families, I can gather at least seven hundred carts for you."
Ning Ye was familiar with the horse-drawn carriages used here. Each carriage could carry at least two thousand catties, because to be precise, they used four mules, which was why they could pull so much stuff.
If you were to buy all of these quantities, the price wouldn't be low. Even if no one wanted them, the total quantity wouldn't be cheap at first.
"I wonder, if the Lin family wanted to get their hands on everything, what price would they be willing to offer?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Changzai said, "If you are truly interested, I am willing to sell it to you for three hundred coins per cart."
Ning Ye nodded and said, "Your offer is indeed quite good for me, but I don't think there's no room for further negotiation."
“Young master, you are mistaken. I can offer such a price because my family is wealthy and powerful, but others may not be. We must leave a way for others to survive. This meal cannot be eaten by me alone.”
Ning Ye was quite surprised; there were probably very few people in the world who could think like this.
"I can accept this price, but there's a small favor I need your help with. I've got my eye on a piece of wasteland here. If you can help me acquire it, I can pay you a deposit right now."
"Young master, to be honest, the wasteland here is practically barren. It's really in terrible condition. If you'd like a small coal mine, I can help you get in touch. After all, some people might not be able to do it well."
Ning Ye shook his head and said, "All I want is that piece of wasteland. If you can help me, then we can talk about it. If you can't help me, then we'll have to discuss this again."
Lin Changzai immediately said, "Just tell me which land you want, and I'll get it for you right now. I guarantee you'll be satisfied, and there won't be any delays."
After Ning Ye gave him the address, Lin Changzai immediately instructed the steward to do it. After all, it was an unclaimed piece of land, and no one wanted it; it was just a simple land grab.
Ning Ye, naturally, was not in a hurry to do anything else and stayed there to briefly look at other things.
Unfortunately, Longmen Town has nothing to offer except coal; almost every household consists of coal miners.
It wasn't until the land grab was over that Ning Ye received the official documents for the land. Only with these documents could Ning Ye be assured that he wouldn't encounter any problems or troubles in the future.
After obtaining the documents, Ning Ye handed over the deposit he had brought to Lin Changzai, intending for him to send everything over in a few days, while he himself went to that wasteland.
This wasteland is located at the foot of a mountain, with virtually no cover. If you want to bring out something different, you'll have to find a different method, otherwise it's never good to be discovered.
Just as Ning Ye was worrying about this, he suddenly discovered that this thing actually had an automatic hiding function. As long as it was placed on the ground, it could quickly hide completely in the ground, and the iron ore that was transported up would be piled on top of it.
There was nothing else Ning Ye could do but find some people to build a very makeshift shed here to store the iron ore. As for other things, these people didn't need to worry about them. They just needed to stay here obediently and do nothing.
Ning Ye still gave the people he had brought some instructions, "Everyone, you don't need to worry about what's going on here, so I don't want you to go in and look around randomly. I guarantee that if any of you break my rules, you will be kicked out and won't get anything."
These people were honest and simple, and after hearing the warning, they didn't dare to have any other thoughts and nodded in agreement. After all, just staying here meant receiving ten coins a day and a meal, which was more important than anything else.
Ning Ye also left his two accompanying guards behind to keep an eye on things, ensuring that nothing would go wrong. If anything did happen, he wouldn't be one to show mercy.
When everything was on track, the real period of rapid development finally arrived. Every day, Ning Ye had to allocate tasks in all aspects. If anything went wrong and he wasn't around, there was a high possibility that something terrible would happen.
At this very moment, Zhang Zihe had already arrived in the capital. He had been traveling at full speed without any delay, so his speed was naturally extremely fast.
Everyone has heard of the prosperity of the capital city, but how many people have actually come here to see it for themselves?
As the ranking process progressed, Zhang Zihe could already see the majestic city walls stretching endlessly. The capital city looked like a colossal beast lying on the ground. Yet, everyone was filled with anticipation to enter.
Throughout history, how many people have flocked to such a place, and how many have died with regrets?
Every year, the Spring Examination gathers almost all the capable students from all over the country. The Spring Examination is mainly divided into two categories: one is specifically for students from these academies, and the other is for students from all over the country.
This is extremely unfair to these students, since the official positions that students of this academy can obtain each year are much higher than those of ordinary people, while the highest position that students can compete for is only a sixth-rank official position.
