"Actually......" Cao Dacai found that his voice was a little hoarse, "E-won't take revenge, they just saved E-in-law and the baby, and E-only thought about knocking them out." However, as soon as these words were spoken, Cao Dacai couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Is there a difference between beating to death and being stunned? Isn't it the same as revenge? And the severity of the attack is simply uncontrollable, so such a justification seems quite pale.

"You don't believe me?" Cao Dacai guessed.

"You're already here, I'm sure I'll make sure you can eat and stay for as long as you want. My rules here are very simple, I earn money to eat with my hands, and I don't want to come and go freely. ”

"It's as simple as that? If everyone runs away, how are you still in charge? Cao Dacai felt a little interested.

Qin Bai took another puff of cigarette and said with a smile: "If the brothers are willing to follow me, I will find an opportunity for everyone." But everyone's choice is different. Some opportunities are risky, but they are also rewarding; Some are less risky, but better than safe. I don't like to interfere with the choices of the brethren. Speaking of this, Qin Bai pointed to a few weeds that came out of the root of the wall, "See?" Just like those grasses, everyone has their own freedom. Including myself, all I want is to live as I wish. Therefore I am not afraid of you coming, for everyone can come; I'm not afraid of you leaving, because everyone can walk freely. ”

Cao Dacai felt that he vaguely understood, but he didn't seem to understand at all: "Follow your own heart? It's good to think about it, but if you think about it, it should be these people dreaming, right? ”

"We are bitter, what else can we have besides dreaming?"

The two laughed. Cao Dacai said: "You should be a liar, but I like your words." If you don't lie to someone and actually do it, you should ...... Died quickly. ”

"Hehe, I only care about my people, and no one else can take care of it."

"That's good, it'll die a little slower." Another burst of laughter. Cao Dacai continued: "I should be able to call you a big boss now, right? I also have to earn money to support my family. Tell you, have you done a lot of evil things? E-can ride a horse to take care of the livestock, and he is good at foot shooting and riding and archery, that is, you first find a better bow for E-Xun. ”

"Will you take care of the animals? Then let's go to the mule and horse market tomorrow and help pick a few, right? ”

"Hehe, medium!"

Cao Dacai has joined many gangs, and there are even large gangs with more than 100 people. He also erected his own flag and became a big boss, and there were more than 20 people under his command at most. It's quite experienced.

However, Cao Dacai has never seen a master like Qin Bai. Let's say it's not ambitious, at least there are a lot of people under him. can be said to be ambitious, no matter how bold you are, you have to talk about the Basic Law? Never heard of "freedom to come and go"?

So the current Cao Dacai is mainly that kind of game mentality. Of course, there is nowhere to go for the time being, and there is such a reason why the wife and children need to recuperate. However, Cao Dacai was even more curious, would Qin Bai really do that? And where exactly will he go in the end?

However, Cao Dacai is still very unoptimistic about Qin Bai's "ideals". But that's nothing, at most when the time comes...... Come and go freely!

No one knew that Qin Bai's words just now were all from his heart. In his previous life, he was poor since he was a child, and he could only choose a military school for college. Later, I went undercover, and there were also economic reasons. During the undercover period, I also met the girl I liked a few times. However, they were unwilling to drag down, and finally chose to give up. Even the big guy who followed him, who had been a childhood friend since he was a child, knew that Qin Bai was short of money for his mother's treatment, so he gave him a chance, but he didn't expect to lead the wolf into the house, and he didn't go against the brother's righteousness? It is impossible to say that there is no guilt.

And the crossing gave himself a new life, and there were almost no fetters. But I still encountered all kinds of helplessness, first I played *** painting, *** painter's dream has not begun, and I have inexplicably become a black mine owner, and it is the kind of black mine owner who is frightening step by step?

Therefore, in his heart, Qin Bai especially yearns for freedom, he can live as he wants, and the people around him can also live as he wants. As for whether it can be done? And it's a novice village that meets the map of hell? Where does the future lie, and how do we know?

"Huh." Flicking the cigarette butt away from afar, Qin Bai smiled......

……

After resting for a day in Jingjiazhuang, buying all the tools and materials, buying a pack horse, two mules, plus a large frame and a dozen wheelbarrows, it cost more than 200 taels in total, and almost all of them embarked on the road back to Xiaohongling Village.

There are not many people left, in addition to the servants who are still recuperating in serious illness, there are also Tang Dong's family, Li Ying, and Cao Dacai's family of three. Originally, Cao Dacai was also going to go with him, but the two of them had to be taken care of, and Dongerfang also needed to be taken care of, so Qin Bai left him behind. Anyway, the rest of the money from the Hong Leong Money Shop will be brought with me this time, and I am not afraid of Cao Dacai's crooked thoughts.

After returning to the village, they rested for another night, and early the next morning, everyone was in full swing.

The method of mining iron ore in this era is similar to that of quarrying, which is to use the method of thermal expansion and cold contraction, first burn the ore wall red, and then sprinkle a large amount of cold water, and as the ore wall bursts, take the opportunity to knock on the next large block.

Therefore, when he saw this process, Qin Bai found a lot of problems. First of all, the efficiency of cutting firewood everywhere is too low, especially the nearby trees are basically cut down, and they have to be cut down and transported from a distance;

In fact, the thermal efficiency of the red-burning mine wall is also very low. Not to mention the absence of modern blowers, there was not a single wooden or leather blower widely used in blacksmiths and kitchens at that time;

There is also the poor cooperation between each other. When there is work, there is a swarm, and when there is waiting, a large number of people are idle......

However, if the efficiency of chopping firewood is low, you can buy coal nearby, and there are many coal mines here in Laizhou. Wooden or leather blowers can also be purchased to order. As for the poor cooperation with each other, they can only be slowly run in later.

However, even so, the output on the first day surprised everyone, which was more than 18,000 catties. More than half the number of people working is before, but the output has more than tripled. It can only be said that it is not unreasonable for a feudal society to replace a slave society, and the productive forces have increased by leaps and bounds. Not to mention, now this system has touched the edge of capitalist society.

So at the end of the first day, everyone was enthusiastic. Especially when Qin Bai handed out the money on the spot, it made everyone cheer continuously. However, when choosing the first or the second option, it is still the majority who choose the first option. Not to mention the original mine slaves, even Niu Sanye's original subordinates have "mutinied" several times. If you can make money easily, why take the risk?

However, Qin Bai didn't care at all, and still respected everyone's choice.
