Chapter 82: Fish farming in the open, mining in secret (please follow up)
Meng Ping poured spiritual wine for everyone, and the four drank a drink.
"As for the second step, we need to set up a magic circle and send people there to try to mine."
"The third step is to look at the grade and scale of this mine, and gauge whether the family can afford it. If the grade is not low, do we need to cooperate with other forces?"
After drinking for three rounds, Shen Zhen continued.
The Qin family members who now join the Chen family are all members of his wife's clan, so he also tried his best to plan for Chen Ling.
Chen Ling nodded. With Shen Zhen's advice, he saved a lot of trouble.
He smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, you will have to worry more about this matter next time. Let Ye Lian take care of the matters in Fangshi for the time being."
The business of selling magical artifacts in Fangshi is relatively simple. Shen Zhen is still responsible for the production of magical artifacts and is too busy at all.
Shen Zhen nodded.
Of course, the most important thing now is to find out whether there are mineral veins in that wilderness mountain col?
Then the four of them discussed the surrounding situation while eating.
In Shen Zhen's view, although the Qingyang Sect has been making secret moves, the Star Sword Sect has now caught up with the Moon Sect.
He also gave half of the annual output of the cracked gold veins to Lanyue Sect for free.
It is equivalent to paying a protection fee.
Most of the Qingyang Sect would not dare to make a fatal move.
He said this, but Chen Ling knew it in his heart.
Only you can rely on your own safety.
So we still have to improve our strength as soon as possible!
After the banquet ended, Luo Ping and Chu Xiong went to explore the mineral veins.
Shen Zhen stayed and discussed other family situations with Chen Ling.
Such as the treatment of guest guests, rewards for clan members’ contributions to the family, etc.
Shen Zhen also listed to him the situation of the Qin family and several other families.
Chen Ling didn't have much objection to this, so he could just follow the original Qin family's institutional arrangements.
Disciples of each tribe in the family receive cultivation resources according to their contribution value.
Guest ministers and elders also have differences in cultivation and level.
After Chen Ling approved all the rules and regulations, Shen Zhen left.
Chen Ling came to the training room, took out the "Eighty-one Spiritual Forbidden Techniques" and read through it slowly.
In these days, he has accumulated 32 incense points.
But there was no rush to add points.
There are still more than two months, which should be enough.
······.
Two days later.
The cold wind in early spring hurt people's faces, and there were scattered snowflakes falling in the sky.
The Chen family compound is as warm as spring.
"I would like to report to the head of the family that after the next two days of surveying, it has been found that there is a small cracked gold vein within the mountain range. It is probably a derivative of the medium-sized third-order cracked gold vein in Yunmengze."
"This place is the golden carp water absorption station hidden in the mountain col. The mineral veins are introverted, and the surrounding mineral gas will probably be sucked in by it."
"And the third-order cracked gold vein is eight or nine hundred miles away from it, so this vein is very likely to contain third-order Jinyang ore."
Meng Ping said with a somewhat excited expression.
He had passed by this place before, but he didn't pay much attention.
Unexpectedly, there is also a golden carp water-absorbing bureau hidden in the mountain col.
Chen Ling's eyes widened slightly when he heard this, swallowed, and asked, "Can you confirm the location?"
He never thought that this would be a small cracked gold vein or some kind of golden carp sucking water.
He didn't understand any of this, but he understood the existence of third-level Jinyang ore.
The fist-sized piece of Jinyang ore that Meng Ping gave him the day before yesterday cost tens of thousands of spiritual stones.
As long as this small vein can produce dozens of kilograms, it will be a big deal.
"It's just in the southwest of the mountain col. It's dozens of feet deep and about 50 to 60 feet long. As long as it's mined, the output will be enough to meet our family's ore needs for the next ten years."
Meng Ping took a sip of spiritual tea and replied seriously.
Chen Ling thought for a while and told Meng Ping with a solemn expression, "This matter must not be known to anyone else!"
With the current strength of the Chen family, it is simply impossible to occupy this mine.
Originally, Shen Zhen was planning to cooperate with others, but this plan is not feasible now.
Let people know that this vein contains third-level Jinyang Stone, which might bring disaster to the Chen family.
"Don't worry, head of the family, I will naturally understand this kind of thing!"
Meng Ping replied with his fists carefully clasped.
Chen Ling nodded. Now that Meng Ping's family, old and young, are all in the spiritual land, and his sense of belonging to the Chen family has reached 72%, there will be no problem.
Then he took out the transmission talisman and sent a transmission message to Shen Zhen, asking him to come to his home to discuss matters.
Then he took out a spiritual robe from the storage ring, handed it to Meng Ping, and said with a smile, "This chime-stone spiritual forbidden robe has good defensive power and is just right for your earth attribute. It's right to give it to you now." Your reward for discovering the mineral vein this time!"
"Thank you, Master, for the reward."
Meng Ping cupped his hands and thanked him, with a hint of joy in his eyes.
He could feel Chen Ling's recognition of him.
There have been no foundation-building monks in the Meng family in recent years, and they have been wandering around. No other family in the Fang City area is willing to take them in.
Now it is difficult to find a place for the tribe to settle down and live.
He will naturally cherish it even more!
After a while, Shen Zhen rushed over in a hurry.
"Uncle Shen, Fellow Daoist Meng has discovered the specific location of the mineral vein."
After Shen Zhen sat down and Qingtang served tea, Chen Ling said straight to the point.
When Shen Zhen heard this, his face lit up with joy, "This is great!"
"However, this situation has changed. I want to buy this mountain col and the surrounding several miles of land with the sect first."
“But we’re going to use spiritual fish farming as an excuse.”
"As for this mineral vein, we will mine it secretly when the time comes."
"Do you think this plan can be implemented?"
Chen Ling and Shen Zhen asked in a deep voice.
Shen Zhen picked up the tea cup, took a few sips, thought for a while, nodded and said, "This is not a bad idea, the head of the family."
"But it's best to set up a magic circle and don't let outsiders discover it."
Shen Zhen's tone also became extremely cautious.
Chen Ling glanced at Shen Zhen and Meng Ping and said with a smile, "Then this matter will be settled."
"Uncle Shen, go to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall to see the Fifth Elder and buy the mountain col first."
"At the same time, buy fish fry and let some clan members go over to raise fish."
"Meng Ping, please arrange for manpower to mine. It doesn't matter if the progress is slower. It will be enough for our family."
"In addition, I will go to set up the magic array and the geomagnetic sword array."
The mountain col is located in the wilderness, with no protection from all sides and no magic circle to defend it, so it would be too dangerous.
On the family side, there is no Geomagnetic Sword Formation or Golden Gang Sword Formation, and the safety is relatively guaranteed.
Then, Chen Ling and the others discussed the specific details and the arrangement and allocation of personnel.
Fish farming is just a cover, so a dozen people are enough.
In terms of mining, the Meng family members are more experienced, so the personnel are mainly selected from the Meng family members.
Of course, these tribesmen will not be treated badly in terms of treatment.
As for the specific situation, Chen Ling asked Shen Zhen to arrange it.
Afterwards, Chen Ling warned again, remember not to let the news leak out, and make sure that the clan members are trustworthy.
Once the news about the mine is leaked, with the current strength of their Chen family, it will definitely be a big trouble.
