Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

Chapter 775 The Purpose Is To Restore The River!

Su Ran had actually expected this consumption, but she didn't expect it to be so much.

Can the output of a small mine feed so many people?

Even if you can make a living, eating and drinking every day is estimated to be a huge expense, and this cannot be saved.

Calculated based on the exchange of two cents for a pound of grain and grass,

This food and grass is basically purchased from the town.

It's at least three kilometers away from the town.

And he didn't even stop to take a rest, he ran over in one breath.

The amount of food and grass consumed in one day is at least 20,000 kilograms.

Such a large amount was an extremely luxurious thing even in ancient times.

Can the town sustain such a large-scale purchase? There is so much food and grass in the town?

Although it is quite unkind to think so!

But this is indeed the only point of confusion that Su Ran currently encounters.

Liu Qianji seemed to have seen through Su Ran's doubts, so he said:

"These grains and grass do not belong to the town. They were all bought with money from Wang County Cheng."

The money paid by Wang Xiancheng? Su Ran frowned immediately, and he had a bad feeling.

"Then where did this money come from? Why did Wang Xiancheng pay for it?"

"Isn't this money money from the imperial court? Was it obtained by him through private corruption?"

Su Ran's words were a bit aggressive, and Liu Qianji was not angry. He just said:

"These are taxes and fees, not Wang County Cheng's personal money."

“Wang County Cheng’s income this month has been allocated to our small mine.

Su Ran asked, "Taxes are the court's money. Wang Xiancheng is embezzling it. Is it appropriate for him to do this?"

People of this era think differently from Su Ran.

In a modern society, taxation is basically in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

This money not only belongs to Ming Dynasty, but also belongs to the national treasury.

Like a country squire, suddenly possessing such a huge wealth.

He will definitely have other ideas, such as tax evasion or something.

Generally speaking, one would not dare to make so much money so blatantly.

I can only get a part of it secretly, and the amount is not very large.

This is the problem Su Ran just mentioned. The money obviously belongs to the court.

"Wang County Cheng has nothing to do about this. Now the tax revenue of the entire Yangcheng."

"It's all gathered together, and it will need to be handed over to Guo Sancheng in one month."

Su Ran: "...

What the hell, Su Ran suddenly realized that his idea was wrong,

Of course, Su Ran also wanted to repair rivers and develop farming.

Now his goal is to restore the river first, and how to restore it.

Su Ran is not The Grand Pure One Chu, and he is not a professional. 【013404319 Feilu 143311551】

*......

Su Ran can only find the answer as soon as possible.

Just listening to Su Ran, he continued to ask:

"How many workers are there and what is the approximate daily consumption?"

"This is your first time here, so I will give you a brief introduction."

Liu Qianji said: "There are 400 workers here, 350 of them are diggers."

"The other two hundred are farmers. They mainly do menial work and are not very good at smelting."

"This factory consumes about three thousand kilograms of grain every day."

“This consumption is enough to support the operation here, but it does not include water supply.

To put it bluntly, this mine is just like an ancient military camp. Once there is no water, it will be abandoned and problems will inevitably occur.

"What about this water source?" Su Ran asked.

Liu Qianji: "The water resources here are the most abundant, but because it is a dead mine, there is no mineral water, just mountain streams."

"Then how did you solve the drinking water problem?"

Su Ran asked curiously.

Shouldn't this mine rely on water?

Unexpectedly, Liu Qianji shook his head and said:

"I don't know about this. It is not within my scope of authority and is not under my control.

"Okay then, thank you Captain Liu for telling me to die.",
