The idea is similar to that of Lian Er, and there is a feeling of being marginalized and powerless.
"Lian'er, are you saying that Ning Mansion owns a large coal mine in Jin Province?"
"Yes, old lady, I heard what my friend said!"
"What friend?"
"They are all direct descendants of the founding prince's family, and some have already participated in some family affairs!"
"Then did they say how the Ning Mansion obtained the large coal mine in Jin Province?"
"It should have been obtained by joining forces with other noble families. I heard that most of the Eighth Founding Duke and Twelve Marquis families have obtained coal mines in Jin Province!"
"Has Brother Rong told you about this before?"
"How is it possible? My grandson has been very busy recently and has no time to go to the clan school. Who knew that such a thing would happen!"
Mother Jia's face was rather ugly. She looked at her two sons and asked directly: "Boss and Second, what do you think?"
Master Pardon said carelessly: "How else can we look at it? Isn't it because our government is not strong enough and we are being squeezed out?"
Jia Mu's expression suddenly changed, she glared at Master Pardon and wanted to slap him.
Damn it, don’t you know that the truth is often the most embarrassing?
The second master Zheng was straightforward and said directly: "Mother, what if Dongfu has a coal mine in Jin Province?"
He had never heard the story of "The Cornucopia", and since he had never touched the world with his hands, it was naturally difficult for him to understand the unwillingness and depression of his mother and nephew.
"Boy, haven't you heard of the story "The Cornucopia"?"
Mother Jia quickly reacted and said angrily: "There are story books available in the market. Buy them and read them carefully!"
“Right now, the coal mines in Jin Province are the real mountains of gold and silver!”
"As long as we can dig out the carbon and make it into briquettes, it will be a profitable business whether we sell it to towns in Shanxi Province or here in the capital!"
"If what is said in the story "Cornucopia" is true, the large coal mines in Jin Province can make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year!"
"a few millions?"
Mr. Zheng Er was completely shocked. Even if he was not sensitive to money, he still knew what hundreds of thousands of taels of silver were.
"Huh, now you know the anger in my heart, right?"
Mother Jia looked unhappy and said coldly: "Brother Rong is really good at this!"
"He was able to fight fiercely with the founder of the country, but he completely forgot about our Rong Mansion. I would like to ask him, are the two Ning and Rong Mansion both surnamed Jia?"
"Lian Er, you go and find out what Brother Rong has to say first!"
"After I understand his thoughts, I will come and talk to him again!"
She is also a good student and knows that although Jia Rong is younger and younger, she is not that easy to handle.
The key is that Jia Jing, a cultivator of immortality in the Ning Mansion, and his wife Zhao are still alive and well, and it is difficult for her to handle them even if she wants to act as an elder.
In addition, after Jia Rong became the clan leader, the entire Jia clan in Beijing prospered.
In such a situation, all fools know that Jia Rong's abilities are outstanding and her skills are great.
The members of the side branch of the Liufang clan, even if the third clan of them decided to defect to the Rong Mansion, they were convinced of the clan leader Jia Rong.
It can be said that at this time, Jia Rong's prestige in the clan was quite high, and even Jia's mother might not be able to match it even if she asked herself.
Therefore, her attitude became much more cautious when dealing with Jia Rong.
After all, the coal mines in Jin Province involve huge interests. If Jia's mother wants to get involved, she can't offend Jia Rong.
Otherwise, if this guy is so angry that he doesn't help Rong Mansion to pull strings, wouldn't Rong Mansion lose a lot of profits in vain?
Upon hearing this, Lian Er nodded and said, "Okay, grandson will leave immediately!"
He kept his word, and Lian Er had the same idea as Jia Mu, and Lian Er also coveted the huge profits from coal mines in Jin Province.
Unlike Jia Mu, Lian Er is in the Hubu Yamen, so he knows more information and is more accurate and trustworthy.
The news that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has made hundreds of thousands of dollars before the end of the year by monopolizing the briquette and briquette stove business in the capital area has already made the Ministry of Household Affairs' eyes turn red.
At this time, the boss of the Ministry of Household Affairs was trying his best to lobby Jin and the Emperor to transfer the coal mines in Beijing controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The reason is also very good. The money in the Treasury of the Ministry of Accounts is never enough!
The Daqian Dynasty had a vast territory, and natural and man-made disasters occurred almost every day.
Although the number of areas that needed relief from the imperial court was not large, they were all business without capital, and the money was scattered like water.
If the year is good next year, we can barely make ends meet, but if there is a major disaster, the household bank deposits will definitely not be enough.
Therefore, the Ministry of Household Affairs needs to have more financial resources, and the Jingcheng Coal Mine is one of the best ways to make money.
If he hadn't known that it would be impossible and would arouse public outrage once it was proposed, the household bosses planned to write to the cabinet to take control of all the coal mines in the world.
Unfortunately, neither the current emperor nor the emperor showed any signs of agreeing.
The people in the Ministry of Revenue actually knew that it was difficult for such requests and ideas to be recognized by the royal family. Is the money of the Ministry of Internal Affairs so easy to care about?
However, the boss of the Ministry of Household Affairs was not disappointed, and turned around and planned to seize several coal mines in the capital area controlled by the Ministry of Works.
Didn’t I say before that most of the coal mines in the Beijing area are controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?
A small number of other coal mines are controlled by the Ministry of Industry.
The reason is very simple. The many workshops of the Ministry of Industry require a large amount of coal as a source of energy. Coal is indispensable for forging or workmanship.
In the past, it was all digested internally, and the coal mines controlled by the Ministry of Industry were half dead.
But things are different now. The coal mines controlled by the Ministry of Industry are also producing briquettes, which are specially supplied to workshops and other areas. Although the income is not as exaggerated as that of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was not a problem to earn tens of thousands of taels in a short period of time a year ago.
This is why the Ministry of Industry's Yamen does not dare to let go of manufacturing briquettes. It must leave enough expenses for the workshop, otherwise the income will only be more.
I heard that the yamen of the Ministry of Industry are very motivated, and everyone treats the coal mines controlled by the yamen as their own eyes. How can it be possible to watch the yamen of the Ministry of Revenue covet them?
The heads of the two yamen departments have been spitting at each other in the court hall recently.
As a member of the Household Department, Lian Er's buttocks will naturally not sit crooked, and he has been paying attention to this matter.
Coupled with the promotion of the popular story "Cornucano", all the talk in the yamen now is coal mine-related topics.
According to a certain household doctor, if a family owns a small or medium-sized coal mine, which can at least cover the family's huge expenses, then they don't have to worry at all.
If you are lucky enough to own a large coal mine, then the entire family will not have to worry about money. As long as there is a coal mine, they will be able to continuously obtain massive profits.
After that, I heard some news from my dandy friend, and naturally I couldn’t sit still...
