Chapter 997: Miners
"I'm not that pampered, what's the point? Can you lend me these pieces of jade? If they break I'll pay you money, or you can give me your usual price." Shen Qiqi didn't want to hold a shelf in front of Cheng Xiao, she changed her title and no longer called herself Bengong, but used an extremely natural title.
"You don't need to take it, you can also see it, this stone mine is very big, and if there is more jade, I don't have much jade, but there is more jade, you take it, I don't want your money." Cheng Xiao bent down from the wheelchair and picked up the stones and put them in Shen Qiqi's hand, Cheng Xiao's angle was very good, Shen Qiqi's hand was holding those jades, and they would not be cut by those edges and corners.
Shen Qiqi got what he wanted, turned his head and looked around, and found that this was a huge stone cave that had been chiseled, it seemed that Cheng Xiao had been digging here for a long time, looking at the extent of those miners' excavation, it should be started day and night.
"Is it the land up there?" Shen Qiqi looked at the huge stone cave and remembered those flowers and plants, he pointed to the top of his finger with his finger, Cheng Xiao nodded.
"The jade of Baicao Mountain is contained under the earth, so we are digging down. Cheng Xiao didn't know what the reason was, since Shen Qiqi took the jade for him, his attitude towards Shen Qiqi had become much softer, and his tone was gentle, and she didn't notice it herself, but she just thought that she and Cheng Xiaoxiao were a little similar.
"If you dig such a big cave, won't it affect the flowers and plants on it?"
"It's the flowers and plants above that have an impact on us. We will knock down all the flowers and plants on the stone mine and bury them in the soil. If someone pulls out the grass roots, loosening the soil will affect the quarry, so I don't allow any flowers and plants to exist around or on the quarry. Cheng Xiao looked at a miner who was digging stones, there was an obvious scar on his back, thinking that he was cut by the stone, he beckoned to the foreman, and the foreman trotted to Cheng Xiao's side.
"What's the matter with that man? How do you work? What if you cut your blood? Why didn't you treat it? You see the wound doesn't seem to have scabbed yet. Cheng Xiao seemed to be very worried about the miners, and the foreman asked a few words and immediately came back to Cheng Xiao.
"Qi Yu mine owner, he said that he accidentally cut himself, it's okay, he didn't stain the jade, please rest assured. The foreman's return was that Cheng Xiao was relieved, he didn't ask any more, but looked at Shen Qiqi and pointed to the steps above, signaling that they were leaving.
Shen Qiqi didn't speak, looking at this huge stone mine and Cheng Xiao's words just now, she understood why the weeds turned into poisonous weeds, she recalled that the flat land behind the door they came in just now must be a muddy field, or a place where Cheng Xiao shoveled into a single grass.
Shen Qiqi followed Cheng Xiao back to the steps, Cheng Xiao went up again with the help of the lifting platform, and Shen Qiqi put the stone in the small bag handed over by the foreman, put it in his hand and walked up the steps with himself, and looked around as he walked, and found that the management here seemed to be extremely lax, except for a few necessary shorts, it seemed that no one was watching, how did Cheng Xiao manage such a huge miner system, she visually saw that there were at least two or three hundred miners here.
"How are you going to manage them, how can you make sure they don't be lazy?" Shen Qiqi knew that he shouldn't ask the most, but he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"It's very simple, the two of them bring the mined ore to the foreman every day, if the quantity is not enough, there will be no food every day, if it is too little, the wages will be deducted, who dares to be lazy in the long run, of course, if they do well, there will be another reward in addition to the salary that month, so how can those miners not work hard, or they will not even have to eat. ”
Cheng Xiao's management theory makes Shen Qiqi feel a bit like the current business management, but it is just rougher, it seems that Cheng Xiao does have a brain, although he has no legs, but he seems to live better than many people, but the fierceness of the yin owl in his eyes has always accumulated heavily, refusing to disperse a point.
Shen Qiqi felt that this stone mine might be due to the fact that it was underground, and there was no vent, it was very depressing, and the air circulation was not good, he felt that he would have difficulty breathing if he stayed any longer, and when Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he walked out of the stone mine and returned to the ground, and when she walked out of the door, she saw those towering trees again, and felt extremely cordial.
Breathing in the fresh and slightly moist air, Shen Qiqi couldn't help but think of the workers in the stone mine, they were digging jade all day long, and all they inhaled was dust, and their lungs must not be good at thinking about the mood of giving birth to Qiqi here.
"Isn't it uncomfortable, if you feel uncomfortable, take this, it's a sachet made of mint and vanilla, you feel uncomfortable when you go into the quarry, and it's much more comfortable to smell it. Cheng Xiao was accustomed to going in and out of the stone mine, he saw Shen Qiqi's face, thinking that Shen Qiqi had just inhaled too much dust and was uncomfortable, he took out a sachet and handed it to Shen Qiqi, and Shen Qiqi took it.
"Do the miners inside also have this kind of sachet?" Shen Qiqi opened the sachet in his hand, which was filled with fresh mint leaves and unknown herbs, and subconsciously asked this sentence, and he felt ridiculous when he asked, how could Cheng Xiao let the miners inside have such a sachet?
"Of course, the people inside don't have this kind of thought, this kind of sachet is only I can configure. Do you sympathize with the poor miners inside, and think they are very hard?" Cheng Xiao's tone became cold and stern, Shen Qiqi knew that she might have violated his taboo, but she didn't regret it, the miners inside looked very bad, and all of them were yellow and thin.
"There is no one who does not feel unsympathetic to them. I just felt so uncomfortable after going in for a while, how could it be good for them to be in it for many years, even if they had two taels of silver a month, their life would not be good. ”
Shen Qiqi did not shy away from speaking for the miners inside, he felt that those silent miners, they may not be here voluntarily.
Of course, their lives are not good, but as long as they are not happy, their families will be happy, and there is nothing perfect in this world. Do you think that you must be perfect as a queen? Do you feel that your life has no regrets at all? Even if you are a queen, you will have regrets, don't think about finding perfection for others. ”
Cheng Xiao's face changed suddenly, and he coldly warned Shen Qiqi. Shen Qiqi felt that Cheng Xiao was always hostile to him, and he continued to argue with him in his heart.
