C56 Allocation of funds

Everyone's heart surged as they heard Zhao Fengnian give out his order.

Young Lord wanted to greatly develop this place. As a vassal force, the three of them would naturally benefit the most from this.

First, Li Tiezhu controlled the mining of coal. The two big workshops, the black iron s, naturally had a share of the enormous benefit to the Li Family.

Then there was Wang Meng, who had to manage 50 people in one go. Although their names were different, they were of the same nature as the prefectural soldiers, and they could even manage and supervise the development of this place in the future.

Everyone knew that in the future, this place would definitely become a bustling place like the second Fortress of Endless Maple. The rights and interests of this place would naturally be great as well.

Although Tao An had not obtained any important positions, he was in no hurry to follow Young Lord since he had many opportunities in the future.

After the three of them heard what Zhao Fengnian had said, they all stood up and knelt down, and shouted loudly: "We shall follow your orders, Young Lord!"

"Alright, according to age, you are all older than me and Elder Li is even older than my father. Don't casually bow like this in the future. The territory and Zhao family will depend on you in the future."

The others were touched as they stood up to answer.

After discussing the details, they simply ate some farmland food and continued with what they were doing.

It wasn't until the afternoon that they finally finished discussing the rules.

Firstly, the black iron experiment was conducted jointly by Elder Li and his two sons, so they didn't need too much money and resources.

The fuel problem had definitely been solved. During the period of time, the only thing he needed to invest was the human resources and the black iron ores. There were a lot of black iron ores stored in the workshop, enough for a period of time.

Following that was the mining of the coal, overseen by one of Elder Li's other sons. The mining staff was also employed by the village workers. The wages could be paid monthly, so there was no need to worry for the time being.

On the other hand, Wang Meng used a lot of money. He wanted to build a temporary residence, which would consume a lot of manpower and financial resources.

In the end, it was decided to use the recruited militia to build temporary residences. When the civilians from other villages came to build their own residences, the workshop would continue to pay monthly fees every day.

As for the issue of food, they decided to open a canteen to provide food for the workers and militia who had just arrived. The price was slightly higher than what they needed directly, but it was still acceptable.

It was likely that these people had just arrived, and it was unknown how long they would take. Thus, the food that they brought along with them was definitely not many.

There were a lot of people who didn't know how to cook, so they couldn't just come in and ask if they were hungry.

If he operated like this, then he would be able to save a lot of money. Zhao Fengnian definitely did not have enough money right now, and the shop would need more money in the near future.

In the end, he gave Wang Meng a total of 50 gold coins as the starting fund, which was about enough to sustain him for one month.

In a month, the store would be able to make a profit. In addition, there would also be people buying the coal. By then, the store would be self-sufficient.

After the discussion, everyone left the village. Li Tiezhu still brought his three sons along with him, with tools to mine ores in their hands.

Perhaps it was because of what Li Tiezhu had said to his sons, but the gazes of the three big men were filled with gratitude and respect.

This caused Zhao Fengnian to feel uncomfortable. He was sneaked a peek at the three burly men who were staring at him like this, and the skin all over his body fell onto the ground.
