"Of course it's impossible. I, Shen Gongyang, am a man after all, and I stand upright.

However, I must first remind Sir Alex that Happy Valley is not what it used to be.

In the past, there were a large amount of copper mines there, and it was an important place for the imperial court. However, this is no longer possible, and the copper mines are almost exhausted.

The land was a wasteland with holes, caves and huge craters everywhere. It was difficult to even it out, let alone reclaim it for growing food.

Therefore, the court sold it, and my uncle was the head of the Paomashan Internal Affairs Office.

So, I bought it last year. I thought I could still mine some copper, but when I dug deeper, I found that the copper content inside was extremely low, and the labor cost was not enough to extract it.

The Shen family spent 80 million taels back then. Later, my uncle was almost scolded to death by his family, and the old man was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

In fact, my uncle had just taken over the business. He was not familiar with the situation and thought he would make a sure profit as before.

Only then did I realize that I had been tricked." Shen Gongyang said with a look of shame on his face.

"The 80 million taels probably include the more than 10,000 handymen who worked in the mine, right?" Tang Wen said.

"Indeed, that land is already a mess. If you continue to mine, you will still lose money.

Therefore, what Shen did in this matter was a bit unethical, and I feel ashamed.

However, Shen wants to get your spiritual essence so much that he can only ignore his conscience." Shen Gongyang nodded.

"Brother Shen, I still treat you as my elder brother, how can you do this? The Lord treats me badly, you are not a human being!" Chu Cong was furious.

"Brother, you can scold me or hit me. Chu Cong, you know this. If I don't find a way to improve my merit, I will be finished." Shen Gongyang said with a look of shame.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. From now on, I will build a manor in Paoma Mountain. It would be nice to have a drink and go horse racing." Tang Wen said with a smile.

I thought in my heart that I would build a satellite city in the future and attract all the dignitaries from the capital to make money.

"I will immediately send someone back by flying eagle to deliver the land deed. As for the more than 10,000 handymen, what do you think we will do with them? If they are still here, you still have to pay them wages, and you have to give them food and clothing." Shen Gongyang
