Chapter 129: Discovery of Coal Mine

Recommended reading: "See Taishou-sama!"

Cao Cao's work efficiency is high, the front foot of the dignitary's clerk has just been sent over, and there is a group of green-shirted scribes on the back foot to report, a full thirty people, all of whom have been recruited through the 'Talent Seeking Order' in the recent period, and the elites selected after passing layers of assessments!

Among these people, there are not only children from poor families who came out of the mountains, but also famous students from big families, the oldest is already in their fifties, and the youngest is just weak, but one thing is the same, that is, their eyes are hot, full of vigorous vitality, or officialdom ambition!

"Let's excuse me!" In order to meet these people, Xiao Yi deliberately took off his armor and changed into a Taishou official uniform decorated with a black body and silver edge painted with a Xuanyao pattern to show the prestige of the Han officials; And in his arms, there is also a young and beautiful girl - Xiao Jing!

Don't think about it, Xiao Yi is not molesting a girl, but teaching his favorite sister to write, in Xiao Yi's opinion, if you want to grow into the top beautiful girl of this era, it is not enough to just be able to pick up a knife and cut people, you must be both civil and military, grasp with both hands, and both hands must be hard, so he still looks very closely at his sister's studies.

Xiao Jing is smart and clever, and is very talented in learning martial arts, no matter what kind of blade, as long as she gets started for a few days, she can master the use of skills proficiently, which is the most difficult to practice riding and archery, she has learned well, and she can already hit the red heart in the arrow thirty steps away, 'breaking the wind of a brother', which is recognized by the whole battalion.

But on the other hand, Xiao Jing's cultural class is a mess, the light hair is like a handful in her hands, how to use it is not right, skipping class is a common thing, and likes to tease the teacher, pranks are endless, the old master who is responsible for teaching her literacy has been scared away by three, and all of them are frightened, people said, no matter what, I don't dare to teach this little aunt and grandmother, and if I continue to teach, my life is not guaranteed, who has ever seen a little girl like to play with knives in class......

In desperation, Xiao Yi had to teach it personally, although Xiao Jing had good skills, he couldn't turn it over in his hands, only for the sake of being suppressed, and after being spanked a few times, he finally became honest.

Xiao Yi taught her to write one by one, and after three days of learning, she learned four words--- 'Xiao Jing, Xiao Yi'.

"You are all well-educated people, but if you want to serve under me, you still have to go through some tests!" Xiao Yi's gaze swept over the bachelors one by one, and he couldn't help nodding slightly, it seems that they all have some ability, but being an official is not a scholar, governing the people is the first thing to govern the heart!

"Adults, please!" None of the bachelors are timid, they are all selected layer by layer, who is afraid of whom! While Xiao Yat was looking at them, the scholars were also looking at Xiao Yat, and roughly came to three conclusions!

"Eighteen-year-old doll can also be too guarded? Don't look favorably on him! ”

"A guy from a martial arts background can also be a Taishou? Don't look favorably on him! ”

"A guy who is greedy for flowers and lust and molests girls can also be too guarded? Don't look favorably on him! ”

In a word, none of the thirty people are optimistic about Xiao Yi, and some ambitious guys are even aiming at the chair that is too guarded; In their opinion, Cao Cao's command used to be short of talents, so they hired a martial artist to get the duck on the shelf, and now that they're real students, they should give up their positions as soon as possible!

"Hehe, this officer is from a soldier's background, there is a saying in our army, 'If it's a thousand miles of horses, just pull it out and run away', since you are all great talents, then Ben Taishou will assign an errand to you!"

"At your command!"

"Okay, there are 100,000 refugees outside Shanyang City who need to be resettled, and countless grains and grass are consumed every day, and the task given to you by this official is to distribute grain and grass, manage people's livelihood, and ensure that everyone has food and clothing!" After a pause, Xiao Yi touched his nose with a smile, and then continued, "But there is a sentence that you have to keep in mind before taking office, Erfeng Erlu, the people are fat and the people are anointed, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to bully, so you should weigh the weight yourself!" ”

"No!" Hearing that their task is to manage the people's livelihood, the scholars all smiled, what is the difficulty of some small people, as for the distribution of grain and grass? Fat difference!

"Big brother, they don't seem to be convinced of you?" Xiao Jing looked at the crowd that turned around and left, pouting, even she felt the arrogance of these bachelors!

"Hehe, it's nothing, there are many people who disagree with me over the years, but I still sit here well!" Xiao Yat's philosophy of life is, are you not convinced? Then hit you until you serve.

If you don't accept it again, one word, kill!

"Come, my brother will teach you two more words today - people's hearts!"

**The north wind is cold, and the clouds are thick!

Early the next morning, when Xiao Yi walked out of the big tent, he was shocked to find that it was snowing, and the goose-feather-like snow fell from the sky, and it was getting bigger and bigger, and soon the whole world became covered in silver, which was very beautiful!

However, Xiao Yi is not in the mood to enjoy the snow scene now, on the contrary, his heart is the same as the ice and snow world outside, wow cool and cool, and the most worrying thing still happened; Snow means cold, and cold is the natural enemy of all people, 100,000 refugees, lack of food and clothing, I don't know how many will freeze to death in this ice and snow!

"Come on, beat the drum and raise the account!"

When a natural disaster came, you can't hide it, Xiao Yi ordered to make every effort to relieve the disaster, the first thing is to increase the distribution of grain and rice, all the refugee camps are supported by a big pot, boil porridge, and ensure that everyone can drink hot porridge, and the porridge must be thick!

In the second case, the men, women, and children in the camp worked together to gather firewood and grass, and all the dead trees, dry grass, and withered thorns in the wilderness were brought back and warmed by fire.

In addition, all the liquor stored in the barracks was distributed, which could save people's lives at a critical moment.

Although various measures have been taken, there is still news of people freezing to death in the camp, there is no way, the number of refugees is too much, and the weather is freezing, and the fuel that can be collected is too small, and even the barracks have begun to burn horse manure for heating, and if this continues, how many of the 100,000 people will be left in the spring of next year?

Xiao Yi, who has always been calm and calm, has become full of bubbles in a few days, and in front of Tianwei, manpower is sometimes poor!

Xiao Jingde's 'Women's Army' has become stronger and stronger these days, under the pressure of hunger and cold, more and more parents choose to send their children here, not only to reduce the burden of their own lives, but also to find a way for their children to live, everyone knows that the food distribution in the camp is close to these children first, and even the army is behind them.

There are a lot of people, naturally there will be miscellaneous, and now it's not just the little Lori that is sent, down to the milk baby who just walks, up to the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls all poured in, and even some parents put the little boy dressed up and stuffed it in, life is more important than everything!

However, these children are also very sensible, and every day under the leadership of Xiao Jing, they scatter in the surrounding wilderness, collect firewood, collect dried fruits in the woods, and do what they can; Xiao Yi also tried his best to take care of these children, other camps, including his Chinese army tent, have two meals a day, only the children here, three meals a day!

After lunch, Xiao Yi came to the camp again to inspect the camp with anxiety, and the children who usually chatter have now become very quiet, and reducing activities can reduce food intake, which is a way for children to save food.

Just because they can't run around doesn't mean they don't have to play, kids have their own way of playing --- doodle!

In the camp of the Women's Army, as far as the eye can see, there are all kinds of strange patterns, kittens and dogs are not unusual, those who can draw Malaysia are considered to have artistic talent, and there are several characters graffiti, the villain on the wall is holding a 'phoenix wing gilt boring', and the crotch is 'a thousand miles of ink smoke horse', majestic, it is Xiao Yi's shape, even the little black face is painted only Xiao!

It can be seen how much Xiao Yat is loved in the hearts of these children!

"Wait! Black? Xiao Yi was suddenly startled, and reached out to gently touch the black on the graffiti, yes, delicate, and a unique luster, this feel...... Coal!

That's right, it's coal; Xiao Yi clearly remembers that when he was in elementary school, the classroom was also heated by a stove, and the briquettes that were shaken out by the workers were burned.

"Come on, who drew these little black figures?"

The last few little girls walked out, and sure enough, everyone's hands were black, it turned out that when they were looking for dead grass in the wild, they accidentally found this kind of black stone that can draw imprints, and brought it back to play!

"Haha! You are my lucky stars, quick, where you find it, take me at once! At that moment, Xiao Yi led a team of personal soldiers, with digging tools, put a few little girls on horseback and galloped out!

The location pointed out by the children was not far from the camp, a bare hillside, and the vegetation here was so sparse compared to other places that there was not even a small tree with the thick mouth of a bowl; And the soil is much darker elsewhere!

"Dig it for me!" Xiao Yi knows that he is developed, and the reason why this landform appears is because there is coal very close to the surface, and then look at the scale of this mountain range and the distribution range of black soil, it is definitely a rich mine!

Sure enough, his own soldiers quickly dug up a large amount of black coal, which was buried less than a meter deep underground, and in some places you could even see the coal when you peeled off the floating soil, which was an open-pit mine that was extremely easy to mine!

"Thank you! O mercy! Xiao Yat laughed wildly and threw himself to the ground, grabbing those lovely coals, black was indeed his lucky color; This winter, no one will freeze to death!
