Chapter 156: Flattery

"Put away all the things here and separate them from your own things. These treasures are all registered and stored in the warehouse, and you have to hand them in when you go back!"

The little girl was stunned: "Daddy, let me keep them?"

Prince Yi was stunned: this seems to be what he meant just now!

"Yes!"

"Is there a storage fee?"

The little girl blinked her eyes, and she was determined not to do anything that was not beneficial!

"Or hand over the things you just put away?"

Prince Yi glared at the little girl.

Yuan Baobao immediately took two steps back and looked at him warily: "Daddy is a bad guy!"

He said he gave her the things, but he still wanted to take them back! Are

men so unreliable? The one in front of him is still the prince!

"Can you help keep it?"

The little girl put the things away reluctantly. She wanted to be a little greedy, but it was a pity that it had already been registered.

In the end, Yuan Baobao gave up the idea.

Prince Yi was not a procrastinating person. He made up his mind to mine the mountain and immediately finalized the terms with others.

He used food to hire them to go and mine.

Of course, there was porridge in the city, but a person could only get one bowl of porridge a day. This amount of food could only ensure that they would not starve to death, and it was still a bit difficult to eat enough.

The people in the city were very happy to hear that they could get food by working.

When they had no food to eat, they ran outside the government office to find something to do.

It was a pity that there was no place that needed people.

However, when they knew that they were going to dig the black stone, many people did not understand.

Niu Er explained: "We have food, so let us dig!"

"Maybe we can make money from this in the future?"

"Don't forget that he is the prince. It will not hurt us to show a good face in front of him."

The black stone is very hard, and the efficiency of people digging is very low.

At the end of the day, only a few can be dug out.

The subordinates came to report, and King Yi frowned when he heard about their work efficiency.

It is not certain how much gold can be refined from this stone. Now using food to hire servants can be said to be a profit without investment. There is no problem for the time being.

But what about in the future? Maybe the gold is not as valuable as the wages!

"Can't you think of a way to make a more efficient tool?" Prince Yi said unhappily.

Ye Yu also looked annoyed: "Master, this thing is really too strong, we have tried our best!"

"Even with the sharpest dagger, not much can be taken down!"

The little girl was originally playing outside, and when she saw someone coming to find her father, she quietly ran to the window to eavesdrop.

She knew that her father was digging the Black Stone Mountain, and she also wanted to know when the mountain would be dug out.

Alas, her little gold. So much gold was dug away by the bad father.

Hearing them say that the mountain is not easy to dig, Yuan Baobao covered his mouth and laughed.

[Humph, I said it before, not all money can be earned by just anyone! ]

[If you don't give me any benefits, if you want to dig out that mountain, you can dig slowly! 】

Prince Yi was still having a headache, when the little girl's voice suddenly rang in his mind, and he curled his lips helplessly.

His daughter was too smart, she actually learned to eavesdrop.

But what his subordinates just said was true. Judging from the current progress, it is unknown how many years it will take to dig out the mountain.

"Where is the little princess?"

Prince Yi suddenly asked, "This mountain was discovered by her anyway, so she should have a share of the credit."

[What's the use of just having credit? What is needed is tangible benefits! ]

Yuan Baobao raised his little head proudly. If only the emperor was here, he could ask him for it immediately.

Prince Yi raised his brows. This girl is not easy to fool!

"Your Highness is right. If it weren't for the little princess, we wouldn't know that black stone could actually produce gold!"

Ye Yu was also a wise man and immediately agreed.

"Your Highness, how about you and the emperor propose that you give the little princess 10% of the profits?"

Ye Yu thought that this proposal was already very good.

For such a big mountain, 10% should be a lot of money, right?

"This..."

Prince Yi hesitated, and Yuan Baobao outside was about to jump out of his chest when he heard this.

[Is 10% a lot? Not much! ]

[I have to give them ideas on how to dig the mountain, and tell them how to refine it! It would be too bad for me to think about it...]

[How about after they dig it out, I can go over and steal some at night when no one is around? Prince Yi

's eyebrows twitched. Thinking of his daughter's money-obsessed appearance, she might really be able to do such a thing!

"Build a warehouse near the mountain and record it every day."

"No mistakes can be made."

Yuan Baobao outside...

bad daddy, delaying her plan to make a fortune.

But these stones are useless unless they are refined into gold.

Humph, if she doesn't give her stones, she won't tell them how to refine them.

This also requires equipment, which is not that simple.

"The emperor should have news soon."

I believe they will be shocked when they get the news.

No one is willing to come here for disaster relief, but if they knew there was a gold mine here, those ministers...

It's a pity that Yuan Baobao doesn't provide a method of mining, and the current speed is too slow.

"Let's go take a look first."

Prince Yi decided to go take a look. When he went out, he saw Yuan Baobao waiting at the door:

"Daddy, I want to go too."

Yuan Baobao wanted to go by herself, but the journey was too far and she was held up, so she couldn't go by herself.

"Yeah."

Prince Yi picked up Yuan Baobao.

Yuan Baobao actually wanted to go by herself, but thinking of her short legs and the long mountain road, the little girl was timid, so she decided to give up.

...

Niu Er is now a small supervisor. Although he has to work the same way, it is much easier than others.

Moreover, as long as he performs well, the prince and the little princess will not treat him badly.

He has worked very hard these two days.

"Hurry up, everyone, collect more stones, and the prince can give us more food."

Niu Er said, and everyone laughed:

"Niu Er, you are climbing up the ladder."

Niu Er laughed:

"What are you talking about? The prince thinks highly of me."

"However, it would be even better if I could follow the prince and serve him."

"Hey, I don't know what the little princess is doing?"

"By the way, the stones we picked up in the river before, if you have any at home, you might as well take them out. The little princess is young, and she probably likes those beautiful stones."

"Really?"

An uncle in his forties asked curiously:

"Those things are useless. My kids picked some of them before, and I thought they were in the way, so I wanted to throw them away some time ago?"

"I have quite a few at home, but they are useless and take up space."

Another person also said happily.

Although Prince Yi has only been here for a few days, their lives have changed drastically.

Thinking back to the days when they were hungry, now it seems like a dream.

Especially since the prince has introduced a policy that the more you work, the more food you get, everyone works even harder.

"Maybe I can catch the eye of the little princess?"
