Chapter 70 Rising

thump!

Under the river surface somewhere in Qihe Town, Baojiao County, Longjiang turned a corner here. Chen Ku came to this place in person and plunged in with a fierce move, causing a large splash of water.

His water nature was not very good originally, and he could be considered a landlubber in both his previous life and this life. However, since he transformed into a small dog, he naturally has water nature, not to mention the same when he transformed into a crocodile.

However, even without these changes, after reaching the realm of transforming energy, you can still control your mouth, nose, and body muscles with strength to have good water properties.

Although it has been discovered through the crocodile body that there is an unowned Wuchen Sand Mine below, the exact extent of it still requires Chen Ku to conduct a personal exploration.

It sank to the bottom of the river thirty meters below. There were many fish under the river water.

"This fat-headed fish, a big catfish, so big..."

"Is this a sturgeon? In previous lives, it was a protected animal."

"Hey, it turns out to be a treasure fish. This is an elephant-nosed sturgeon. It has a strange phenomenon. Although it is not as expensive as the treasure grass, one fish should be worth twenty or thirty taels of silver in the market. You can catch it."

It is said that one pound of fish has the strength of ten pounds of fish underwater. This elephant trunk weighs about ten pounds, and ordinary men cannot fight it after entering the water.

But with Chen Ku's current skills, he can kill a giant python in an instant, let alone a ten-pound fish.

Two fingers suddenly pierced through the water, and the force was like bullets passing through, leaving a stream of air behind, instantly passing through the gills of the ten-pound treasure fish, and clasping it in the hand.

Just like this, I carried the treasure fish, holding my breath, and then reached the muddy place at the bottom of the river.

It's really scary to walk back and forth in the mud under your feet and feel the distribution of black sand in the mud below...

After he stepped down, due to the weight of the black sand in the mud, every step he took felt as if his feet were filled with thousands of kilograms of lead and tied with weights.

These dark sands are scattered among the river sand and silt, like overturned salt particles falling into the flour, very confusing.

In this way, Chen Ku used the lung capacity transformed by the crocodile to walk back and forth under the Gulf Stream area to measure, and finally dug on the edge of the river bed, more than ten meters deep, and there was still black sand scattered throughout. :

"My dear, the content of black sand here, based on my current measurement and survey, is at least a 100-ton black sand mineral resource, which is about 200,000 kilograms...according to the market price, that is Sixty thousand taels of mine."

Chen Ku was excited. This was just a conservative judgment of his own. He hadn't seen the bottom line yet. Maybe after full mining, the amount could double the 100 tons.

thump!

He returned to the shore from the river.

"The mining regulations and the leasing of the river area require someone from the government to operate it... It seems that I have to pay a visit to my brother-in-law."

Chen Ku lowered his head and looked at the ten-pound elephant trunk sturgeon, which was just the right gift for a visit.

…………

In the inner city of Baojiao County.

Causeway Lane.

Chen Ku came here with the elephant trunk sturgeon. As soon as he entered the yard of his brother-in-law's house, he aroused the exclamation of others in the yard.

"This is a treasure fish, right? Its scales glow, and it also has an elephant trunk..."

"Good boy, I remember that this young man is Capt. Li's brother-in-law, and he is an apprentice at Yaowang Hall. It seems that he reported Ni Kun last time, which made Capt. Li achieve great success and be promoted to Capt. Li again."

"You're so promising. He actually brought such a valuable fish to see his sister."

People living in the inner city are always more knowledgeable than people outside in the countryside. They all have industries to make a living. They have never eaten pork, but they have always seen pigs running away.

What's more, Baojiao County is famous for its mountains, rivers, great medicines, and fish.

Chen Tian heard the sound and walked out quickly, wearing a blue floral apron, and his hands were still covered with flour. Hearing that his younger brother was here, he was naturally the happiest, but when he saw Chen Ku holding the big fish in his hand, he was shocked .

The envy of other people in the yard made her look happy, but a treasure fish worth dozens of taels of silver could not be accepted by her brother just like this.

"You kid, come in first and then talk."

Chen Tian pulled Chen Ku into the room, and then started to scold:

"How much does it cost for such a big fish? Sister, I told you last time, don't spend money indiscriminately. I already felt sorry for you when you took me to Hongyan Tower for dinner, so I'm still spending money this time! So... Big fish, you kid really doesn’t know how to save at all, don’t forget, you are going to have a wife in the future!”

Chen Ku listened to this nagging voice with strong family affection and did not say anything to contradict him. He just smiled and said: "I didn't spend any money. I caught this fish myself. You also know that I practice martial arts now, and my brother-in-law also practices martial arts. This treasure The fish is useful to both of us, so I brought it over and asked my sister to cook it for you. When my brother-in-law comes back, we will eat it together. "

When my sister heard this, she hesitated and said, "Did you really catch me?"

At this moment, a voice came from outside, "Captain Li is back. Your brother-in-law has brought you a big gift. You are so lucky..."

Chen Ku stood up in the room and saw Li Yuancheng, with a cold face and long hands and legs, walking in with a knife in his shoulder.

"Such a big treasure fish?" Li Yuancheng was shocked when he saw this ten-pound elephant trunk sturgeon.

When the sister saw this, she quickly told her husband what Chen Ku had just said.

"Did you catch it yourself?" Li Yuancheng looked at the brother-in-law curiously. If it was really the brother-in-law who caught it, it means that the other party's underwater skills are not bad, but luck actually plays a bigger role in catching such a precious fish. of.

Chen Ku said to Chen Tian: "Sister, you go and make fish. To be honest, I mainly want to talk to my brother-in-law about something when I come here this time."

Suspicion flashed in Li Yuancheng's eyes.

Talk about something?

Although he had also heard that his brother-in-law had single-handedly brought the Chen family back to health and was now considered the head of the family, he still didn't think that the young man in front of him, who was not yet eighteen years old, could talk to him about any big things. ?

On the contrary, I need to remind him of something, such as the death of Huang Gun some time ago, when the two gangs almost fought.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuancheng hadn't said anything to make Chen Ku pay attention when he was working in Yaowangtang.

Chen Ku then made it clear why he came to see the other party.

when!

Li Yuancheng was hanging the knife. After hearing clearly, one of them fell directly to the ground without hanging the knife. He turned around absentmindedly and looked at Chen Ku in disbelief:

"What did you say? You found an unclaimed black sand mine under the Longjiang River that has not been mined yet?"

When sister Chen Tian heard the sound of the knife being dropped, she subconsciously thought her husband and brother were fighting, so she rushed into the house nervously.

But I saw Chen Ku facing her husband, neither humble nor arrogant, and said: "Yes, I have already done the survey. There are at least 200,000 kilograms below. I am going to take over that place and open an iron shop by myself. When the time comes, Excavating them all, apart from paying taxes to the court and excluding labor, what can fall into our hands... will net us at least tens of thousands of taels of silver."

"Ten thousand taels of silver?" My sister felt dizzy.

Never mind that I have seen so much money, I have never heard of it.

Li Yuancheng's heart also beat faster.

Because what Chen Ku said was within the scope of the laws of the Daji Dynasty.

Net profit of tens of thousands of taels of silver?

Suddenly.

He looked at his brother-in-law in disbelief: "You just said... us? What do you mean?"

"I myself am weak and it may not be easy to take over that area of ​​the river, so I have to ask my brother-in-law to say hello and help me take over that area and get the Taosha approval documents by the way. When the time comes, I will consider my brother-in-law as a shareholder... …That’s our family’s mine.”

Chen Ku extended an olive branch.

Li Yuancheng's heart was pounding, what a huge temptation and legal income.

After all, what Chen Ku said are completely reasonable and legal rules, and there is no danger of breaking the law. All he needs to do is to apply for Chen Ku, and then go to the dormitory in the third class and sixth room. Just say hello to the official in the household, and it's done.

But Li Yuancheng quickly grasped the most important point:

"Do you know, if you want to take over a section of the river area, then wash the sand and open a mine, and if you add artificial paving... how much money will you get if you add it all up? Where do you get so much money?"

Chen Ku showed a mysterious smile: "To be honest, I have some friendship with Chai Xiaoguan in the city. It's okay to borrow some money and invest in shares."

This is what he originally wanted to do. To do this business, he would provide technical resources, his brother-in-law would provide background, and then recruit a large investor... Such a basic iron company would be able to start a business, and then recruit some trustworthy people. If he goes to run and manage a shop, even if he is a hands-off shopkeeper, he can still make a lot of money every day.

If this happens, then his identity and social status in this city will undoubtedly rise to another level.

The apprentice who came from the countryside became...

Shopkeeper Chen who has his own store in the city?
