"Then fire them." Fang Zheng shrugged:
"Qu City lacks everything but porcelain makers, as long as the compensation is in order."
"It's not just because of this," Wen Lei said:
"Fugui Porcelain's mining permit requires that mining be conducted near Yuan Family Village. If we don't agree to their conditions, the permit is just a scrap of paper."
"Yuan Kui wants a 30% share, and the Yuan Family Village wants a 30% share too, claiming that mining will ruin their land!"
"Once they are fired, mining will become a problem."
"Hmm..." Fang Zheng said slowly:
"I remember that the clay and stone used for porcelain firing are located in lands that cannot be farmed. Securing a mining permit should only be possible on ownerless wasteland."
"Yes."
Wen Lei looked helpless:
"Who said it's not, but that's the logic, and what can you do if others don't follow it?"
