A year or two passed like this.
In the past two years, Liu Bowen's son still relied on going to the casino to survive.
Other than the death of Yang Xian, there weren't many changes in the officialdom.
Hu Weiyong became famous after what happened back then.
And in these two years, Zhu Wenzheng was even happier.
He seemed to go back to the Flower Boat in the Red Pavilion every day, but he had already done a lot of things.
In the past two years, Zhu Wen had been relying on the system to sign in.
He had obtained three Longevity Pills!
Each pill could increase his lifespan by 50 years!
Zhu Wenzheng chose to eat one and leave the other two for emergencies.
For now, things like lifespan were still useful to him.
After killing Zhu Yuanzhang, they would have to fight Zhu Di or the Mongolians in the north!
. But there was a prerequisite.
That was, when Zhu Di rebelled, the final victor must be him!
Under such circumstances, Zhu Wenzheng's need for longevity seemed to be more important.
In the past two years, through the accumulation of frost sugar and glassware, he had been able to obtain a lot of treasures.
It was not only sold in Jin Ling City, but also in the whole country.
Now, the total sales were countless, and the wealth they had gathered was already an astronomical figure.
Roughly estimating, he had already accumulated ten million taels of silver.
Even the Ming court might not have so much money.
In the past two years, Zhu Wenzheng's wealth had surpassed that of an entire country.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
Just as Zhu Wenzheng woke up, he heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who is it?" Zhu Wenzheng asked.”
At this moment, a man's voice rang out,""It's the small one."
Zhu Wenzheng heard the voice and said,"Come in. Have you bought the coal mine?"”
"Master, I've already bought the coal mine you asked me to buy in Beiping.”
At this moment, a man walked in from outside. He looked at Zhu Wenzheng and said respectfully.
This time, he had brought a large amount of money with him. How could he not do such a simple thing?
Zhu Wenzheng couldn't help but smile." Well done. You've done a great job."”
The man could not help but ask curiously,"Master, it's already an exhausted coal mine. Why do you still want to buy it?"”
Although he could buy it at a low price, it would be too much of a loss.
They had to pay a high price to buy some mines that had no mining value at all.
Wasn't this a little too…
"Do you really think that these coal mines have no mining value?" Zhu Wenzheng smiled.”
Hearing this, the man could not help but say in surprise,"Master, do you think it's still valuable?”
Zhu Wenzheng only smiled and said,"Is it because they have already dug into the underground water, so no one dares to continue mining?"”
The man smiled bitterly." Yes, I went down to take a look myself. There's a lot of underground water. We can't continue mining."”
When Zhu Wenzheng heard this, he could not help but nod and say,"Do you think there's a coal mine under the water?”
Hearing this, the man could not help but feel surprised.
He really didn't know how to respond.
The man didn't know what Zhu Wenzheng meant. He didn't want to admit his mistake.
Or was there really coal and other minerals below?
If it was the former, he might be facing an extremely difficult choice.
But if it was the latter, the man would find it even more unbelievable.
To him, this was the most difficult thing to say.
"If you think that the underground water is an obstacle, why don't you take the underground water and see if there are any mines below?”
Zhu Wenzheng asked with a smile.
When the man heard this, he could not help but widen his eyes.
Was this really something that could be done by human power?
Underground water, this kind of rootless water, could be extracted?
Yes, in the eyes of the people of this era, underground water was water without roots.
Just like the rain, it had no source.
Moreover, it was underground water. How much manpower would it take to extract such water?
It turned out that Zhu Wenzheng had also used his other name to purchase a hundred coal mines in Jingxi, Beijing.
This man was one of the agents that Zhu Wenzheng had found on the surface.
In the eyes of the people of this era, these hundred coal mines were all exhausted coal mines.
However, the so-called exhaustion was not the real exhaustion.
It was because they had dug up underground water.
The coal mines of this era simply could not continue mining in the underground water layer.
To them, these coal mines had a mining history of 800 years.
The Jingxi coal mine was located west of Beijing, far away from Jinling City.
Many of them had dug into the underground water layer, so they were directly said to be exhausted.
If Zhu Wenzheng remembered correctly, the coal mines here had already stopped production during the Jiajing annual inspection.
Moreover, it was already the Little Ice Age in the Ming Dynasty.
This was a very serious consumption of coal.
Zhu Wenzheng also obtained the manual pump blueprint from the system check-in.
With this thing, the water in the underground layer could be pumped out.
In this way, wouldn't the hundreds of coal mines continue to be mined?
As long as it could be mined.
He took out the manual pump blueprint from his pocket and placed it on the table."Find me a trustworthy blacksmith.”
The man looked at the blueprint on the table and was a little surprised.
"Patriarch, what do you mean?"”
" Didn't you check it yourself?" Zhu Wenzheng said with a smile." If it's full of underground water, this thing can help to draw it out."”
Hearing this, the man could not help but look at the blueprint Zhu Wen was putting on the table with a serious expression.
Speaking of which, the drawing was very detailed, and even the parts were very clear.
At this moment, he felt that his family head was an unfathomable person.
If the underground water was pumped out, there would still be minerals underneath.
That meant one thing!
His family head had planned everything out so that everyone would think that he was spending money carelessly.
And those mine owners were probably still secretly happy.
An already exhausted mine could still be sold.
These hundreds of coal mines were worth a lot of money!
Those mine owners thought that they had made a killing, but they had never thought that their family head had such a divine artifact in his hands.
If you really extract the underground water, you can continue to mine it all!
When that time came, the mine owners who had sold their coal mines would have to pay for it.
Would their intestines turn green with regret?
Zhu Wenzheng glanced at him and said," Be careful to keep it a secret. At the same time, have our people in Jingxi make sure that the coal mine is not targeted."”
The man smiled and said," Don't worry, Patriarch. Everything is fine over there. As long as you have the divine artifact, we can use it to fully drain the water." After that, wouldn't the mining work continue?”
Zhu Wenzheng nodded and smiled.
