"Today we went to your village and saw Huangguan Mountain. I heard from the two Zhengzhangs that there's a coal mine in that mountain, and there are plans to start mining."
"A coal mine?" Tang Huai frowned, "Having coal to mine is a good thing, that way the villagers can live a better life."
At least in Shuanglong Village, if they start mining coal, they will need to hire workers, and the salaries for miners are even higher than those of teachers.
"I know a guy who's a small-time coal mine boss, I wonder if he could contract the mining rights for Huangguan Mountain in Shuanglong Village."
"You should ask the Zhengzhangs about that," Tang Huai said, puzzled.
