He was originally just the son of a landlord in Tongcheng. His father was old and all the family property fell into his hands. He had nothing to do all day long and ran rampant in Tongcheng.
One day, I don't know what kind of bad luck happened. I was going to inspect a few acres of thin farmland at home in the mountains. Suddenly I heard that a farmhand at home fell into a cave. I happened to pass by. The farmhand was carried out of the cave and he described the cave to Zhu Jiang.
Situation, although Zhu Jiang is uneducated, he has read a few books since he was a child. He also went to Zhongzhou and met some ore merchants from Fengxi. He heard that this ore is a profitable treasure in Zhongzhou.
So I paid attention and asked about some knowledge about ores.
Now after hearing what the farmhand said, he immediately led people down to the cave himself. When he saw the blue and green spots on the rocks exposed in the cave, he was immediately overjoyed and wanted to go to Zhongzhou City to see the emperor.
At that time, there was a boy beside Zhu Jiang who told Zhu Jiang: "When we go to Zhongzhou City, officials from one level to another pass it on. It is hard to say whether we can see the emperor. If any official has evil intentions and wants to monopolize this credit, he will kill the young master.

Lord Yunbao was overjoyed and rewarded Zhu Jiang as the steward of Tongcheng. He also bought several mountains around Tongcheng and quietly mined in Tongcheng for several years. Later, when the news became louder, he announced the discovery of copper mines.
Zhu Jiang took the lucrative job of being the manager of Tongcheng. He was also very lazy and became as good as a pig within a few years. However, he was not stupid at all. There had not been any major mistakes in the mining of copper mines in the past few years.
At this time, Zhu Jiang was sitting in a soft sedan chair, accompanied by several beautiful maids, eating grapes, drinking fine wine, listening to wonderful music, and waiting for the arrival of the chief steward Yang Gong.
When he was enjoying himself, a boy suddenly came up and said: "Master Steward, there is a young man who calls himself Young Master Yun and wants to see you!"
As soon as he heard the word 'cloud', Zhu Jiang jumped up immediately, his fat body trembled, and his eyes were so crowded that he could no longer see. At this moment, his eyes miraculously widened: "What, what?
