Chapter 166 Earth Jade Spirit Mine
In Chen Ze's mansion.
After Chen Ze came back, he was not in a very good mood. Ye Kai's matter still made him feel like a thorn in his throat, and he couldn't figure it out.
Chen Ze immediately contacted the three clones who were undercover in the Ye family and asked them about the situation.
Unfortunately, the three clones didn't have the information Chen Ze wanted.
Ye Kai rarely showed up in the Ye family, and no one knew what Ye Kai was doing.
There were only a few people in the Ye family who could contact Ye Kai, and the three clones were definitely not among them.
Chen Ze didn't get the information he wanted from the clone, and he was not too disappointed. This was also expected.
However, the three clones gave Chen Ze other surprises.
After the three clones returned to the Ye family from the black iron mine, Ye Zhentian arranged new jobs for the three of them before retreating.
Ye Qinggang is now responsible for managing the business of several stores operated by the Ye family in Wannan City.
Ye Huairen is outside Wannan City, responsible for guarding the Ye family's spiritual field industry.
However, Ye Panshan was assigned to another spiritual mine.
This spiritual mine produces a kind of refining material called earth jade, which is more valuable than black iron ore.
Moreover, the volume of earth jade mine is much larger than that of black iron ore, and there is a vein under this spiritual mine.
However, this spiritual mine is not owned by the Ye family alone, but is jointly mined by several large families in Wannan City.
And it is a formal spiritual mine that has been registered with the City Lord's Mansion. The miners who mine in the spiritual mine are also recruited through formal channels.
The daily remuneration of these miners is determined by the number of earth jade they dig out.
There is no oppression here, and every miner is treated very friendly.
Although the remuneration here is not very high, mining here is also a good job for casual cultivators.
The reason why these families treat miners friendly is that the ownership of this mine is still in the Dagan Dynasty.
These families only have the right to mine, and the City Lord's Mansion is responsible for supervision, and also has the right to revoke their mining rights at any time.
In the Jade Spirit Mine, not only are there people from several big families maintaining it, but people from the City Lord's Mansion come to check the situation from time to time.
All the independent cultivators who mine here are also registered.
The income, safety, and situation of the miners are the criteria used by the City Lord's Mansion to determine whether these families can continue to mine.
All the Jade produced in the entire Jade Spirit Mine was eventually purchased by the Da Gan Dynasty.
These families are equivalent to working for the government. They not only have the income from the Spirit Stone, but also the various welfare benefits and policies given to them by the Da Gan Dynasty. They can also be regarded as a business that eats royal meals.
Although the income from the Jade is divided among several big families, and they have to pay a mining fee to the City Lord's Mansion, they can still earn a considerable amount of Spirit Stone.
However, even so, although the value of the Jade is higher than that of the Black Iron Ore, the Ye family can still gain more by mining the Black Iron Ore alone.
Facing this news, although Chen Ze was happy, he was not too excited.
He went to Longqing City to attend an auction, and his vision and pattern were different. It was easier to earn hard money by doing business than by mining.
He just gave Ye Panshan a chance to take two pieces back first. He wanted to see the value first, whether it was worth sending a large number of clones to secretly mine.
The most important thing was that this mine was still a public mine, and he was not ready to go against a giant like the Dagan Dynasty.
Chen Ze asked Ye Qinggang and Ye Panshan to find opportunities by themselves, and let them think about what to do.
Finally, Chen Ze asked the three of them to keep a close eye on the Ye family, and report to him immediately if there was anything abnormal about the Ye family.
"Forget it, no matter what he is up to, the Wanwu Grocery Store is now protected by a fourth-grade formation. If he dares to come, he will never return."
All the small tricks are not enough in the face of absolute power.
Ye Kai's matter was put aside for the time being, and there were still many things waiting for him to do.
Chen Ze's consciousness entered the Wanwu space again.
As soon as Chen Ze arrived, Xiao Ping and Xiao An ran over to greet him.
"Master, you are here."
Chen Ze nodded, "What are they all doing there?"
Chen Ze saw that the clones were all gathered together, and even Xiao Ping and Xiao An just ran over from there.
"Reporting to the master, we are studying how to build a library."
"How is it going?"
"The materials are ready, but we are still thinking about the framework."
"It doesn't have to be too complicated, just like the buildings here."
"Yes, master." Xiao Ping and Xiao An were a little embarrassed in their hearts, but they couldn't say it out loud. How could they live up to Chen Ze's trust!
"This is a price list I compiled. From now on, all items sold in the Wanwu Grocery Store will be sold at this price.
You should copy a few copies of this price list and pass them on to all the clones who run grocery stores outside, giving Shen Wansan a priority copy."
"Yes, Master."
"Also, there is no need to keep a separate copy of the items that are collected.
If you feel that there are more special items, just list them separately for me to see.
From now on, you can divide all items into two categories, one unknown and one recyclable."
"Yes, Master."
"Okay, you can go and get busy first. I'll find you if there is anything else."
"Yes, Master."
Xiao An went to copy the price list of items, while Xiao Ping continued to study with other clones how to build a library.
Chen Ze went to the Everything Store. He had not had time to test the recipe for the pill he bought in the Taichu Pavilion before.
Now he had time, so he planned to exchange some spiritual medicines on the recipe to test the effect of the automatic alchemy room.
Chen Ze did not spend much time in the Everything Store, and he exchanged a bunch of spiritual medicines with the green-robed woman.
He also memorized the prices of all these spiritual medicines by the way. He not only wanted to test the effect of the automatic alchemy room.
He also wanted to test the cost of refining the pills, and which one was more cost-effective compared to the price of buying pills in the Everything Store.
After exchanging the spiritual medicines, Chen Ze immediately came to the automatic alchemy room.
Since the automatic alchemy room was purchased, Chen Ze has not even gone in to see it.
If for nothing else, he did not have the recipe, so even if he went to see it, it would be in vain.
This was his first time in the automatic alchemy room, and Chen Ze was really curious about what it looked like inside.
Chen Ze had already pushed open the door of the automatic alchemy room, and immediately a huge alchemy furnace appeared in front of him, and bursts of medicinal fragrance came to his face.
The size of this alchemy furnace basically occupied all the space in the automatic alchemy room.
This was also the first time Chen Ze saw an alchemy furnace, and he couldn't tell what grade this alchemy furnace was.
But he could see the aura flowing on the alchemy furnace, which was simple and mysterious. This was definitely not a simple alchemy furnace.
