Visit ancient times with a super mall

The official took a look at the imperial edict and immediately knelt down towards Chu Chen.

"My subordinate met Mr. Chu in Mingda!"

Chu Chen helped him up: "Okay, I will take over this jade mine from now on. You have completed your mission!"

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, the coachman on the side spoke to Chu Chen.

"Mr. Chu, you misunderstood. You took over not only this mine, but also them."

When Chu Chen heard this, he thought: What is going on? Isn’t it up to you to manage this?

Seeing Chu Chen's confused look, the coachman spoke again.

"The king is worried that Mr. Chu will be overworked in managing this mine, so Yu Mingda and others will help you manage the miners."

"As for other matters, the king is powerless."

"Don't worry, Mr. Chu. They only care about mining and patrolling the surrounding areas. They will not interfere in anything you do, and they will not talk too much."

Chu Chen finally understood after hearing this. It seemed that Yan Lixuan was quite considerate.

That's fine, it would make me feel more relaxed and be able to use all my strength to deal with the mysterious man wearing a mask.

So he said to the two of them: "In that case, then go back and thank the king for me."

"Your name is Yu Mingda. From now on, you don't have to kneel when you see me. Also, immediately arrange for people to build a large warehouse to store the mined jade. I will send people to pick it up. You can just focus on mining."

After hearing this, Yu Mingda bowed and took the order and left.

After seeing off the coachman, Chu Chen walked into the room alone and took out many duvets and other items.

Then he pushed open the door and ordered Xiaoyu to throw out all the previous things, clean up again, and arrange the new quilt and other bedding.

Then he walked comfortably into the house.

He turned to look at Xiaoyu who was standing aside and said, "In the future, we will live here for a while. Will you regret coming out with me?"

After hearing this, Xiaoyu immediately came to Chu Chen: "Master, as long as Xiaoyu is by your side in this life, you will never regret it."

"Okay, you won't die. There are some ingredients in the warehouse, go cook!"

After hearing this, Xiaoyu obediently walked into the kitchen.

Soon after, the aroma of food wafted out.

Xiaoyu stayed with Chu Chen in the palace for a few days. Under Chu Chen's education, she had already learned a few simple dishes.

At this moment, it happened that it was time for dinner in the mine, and Chu Chen walked out of the house alone holding a bowl of sea food.

What caught his eye were groups of miners in ragged clothes, being driven towards a large thatched hut by the sergeants.

Chu Chen stepped into the thatched house with great interest and saw many people holding bowls with empty eyes and heading towards a big wooden barrel in the middle.

When Yu Mingda saw Chu Chen holding a bowl and walking towards the barrel, he quickly stepped forward to block Chu Chen's way.

"Sir, these are the meals that the miners eat. Please don't go forward. I'm afraid it will turn off your appetite."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen thought that this was wrong. If he wanted the horse to run, he must give the horse enough grass.

So regardless of Yu Mingda's obstruction, he came to the barrel in a few short steps.

Chu Chen held the bowl and looked into the barrel, and was immediately stunned.

I saw that it was all filled with unknown wild vegetables and porridge made from millet. Looking at Chu Chen with a dark look, he suddenly felt that the rice in his hand was no longer fragrant.

He turned around and walked out and said to Yu Mingda: "How many people do we have in this mine?"

Yu Mingda looked at Chu Chen in confusion and said to himself that this young master is different. Officials who came here in the past would rarely ask about these things.

"Back to the young master, there are three thousand miners and eight hundred sergeants in total!"

"Oh, are they all eating the same?"

"No, the food of miners and sergeants must be different. After all, their status is different."

Yu Mingda said this, Chu Chen can understand, this is the case in the world.

So Chu Chen asked Yu Mingda to bring the sergeant's food, which was only a pitiful amount of meat and corn porridge.

After reading it, Chu Chen asked again: "What about the progress of mining?"

Yu Mingda frowned deeply after hearing this, and seemed to have made a lot of determination and said: "Sir, to be honest with you, the mining progress is not satisfactory."

"But the main thing is... the food!"

Chu Chen understood it as soon as he heard it, so he said: "If you want the horse to run, how can you not let the horse eat grass? In this case, you come with me."

When Yu Mingda heard Chu Chen say these words, his eyes lit up instantly.

To be honest, he has been staying in this poor place for several years, and the food is getting worse day by day.

Since this new young master can say this, he will definitely change everything.

Chu Chen took him to the house, and Yu Mingda smelled a strong aroma of food.

Chu Chen turned around and walked into the room. When he came out, he had a bag of money in his hand.

Seeing Yu Mingda swallowing his saliva greedily, he said to Xiaoyu: "Go and get some bowls and chopsticks for Brother Yu."

Xiaoyu turned around and went into the kitchen. When she came out, there was an extra bowl and a glass cup.

This was the first time Yu Mingda saw this transparent cup, so he quickly refused.

"Young Master, how can we, who are of such low status, dine with you and use such a precious glass cup?"

Upon seeing this, Chu Chen directly pulled him to sit on the chair: "Brother Yu, you're welcome. I need to live here for a while. I will have to rely on you in many places in the future. As long as you are loyal to me, I will not treat you badly." For you."

"Since I saw those meals today, I can't ignore them."

After speaking, Chu Chen pushed the bag of silver over again: "Take this money and go shopping. There is no requirement. It is that everyone's food should be several times better based on what we have now."

"The miners eat three meals a day, each with dry meat and broth, and meat once every three days."

"Sergeants have one meal of meat a day and one meal of wine every three days. Don't save money for me. What I want is jade."

Yu Mingda took the money, stood up instantly, and knelt down again facing Chu Chen.

But he was pulled back by Chu Chen: "Brother Yu, there is no need for this. If you work for me, you are my people. It's dinner time today. It's the first time we've met each other. Let's have a drink!"

After saying that, he pressed Na Yu Mingda on the chair, turned around, took out a bottle of wine, and filled a glass for Na Yu Mingda.

Yu Mingda looked at the full glass of wine in front of him, stood up while holding it and said: "Master, I have been here for three years, and you are the only person I have ever seen who is considerate of us. With this glass of wine, I represent jade." Everyone in the mine respects you."

After saying that, he drank the wine in one gulp.

It was too late for Chu Chen to stop him. After Yu Mingda drank the wine, he felt a hot and spicy sensation in his throat running straight into his stomach.

And there was a hint of dizziness in his head.

"Um, brother Yu, this wine is strong, you must never drink like this in the future!"
