An He and Li Zhi were all waiting outside, not daring to disturb Li Xiaojiu's interest.

At this moment, the soldier in charge of managing the coal mine ran over quickly, and when he saw An Heshi standing outside the shed, he immediately stepped forward and saluted:

"Dian Jun Yu Wenbiao, see General An Zhonglang!"

"Get up!"

An He opened his mouth and said, he had met this Yu Wenbiao once, he was one of the four pawn soldiers, the five big and three thick were very vicious, and he looked like a standard ruffian.

"Is slavery now on the right track?"

After An He saw Yu Wenbiao stand up, he asked with a smile. Don't look at this Yu Wenbiao, who is very rude, but his ability is good, otherwise, it would not be his turn to be the first to come to the mine to earn extra money. In terms of slave management, An He only pointed to a general direction, and all the details had to be perfected by Yu Wenbiao himself.

"General Qiyu, the last general has already managed a hundred slaves for each of them according to the general's orders, led by the chief, there are a total of 1,300 slaves in the whole mine, divided into thirteen mining teams, and the rest of the guards are responsible for the guarding and patrolling of the mine."

Yu Wenbiao replied. The establishment of the Tang Army is based on ten people as one tithe, one tithe, five tithes as a group, three gangs as a team, and five teams as a battalion, so the tithes are the basic units in the Tang army.

"Well, good job!"

An He looked at the honest slaves working in the mine, nodded and was very satisfied, and then asked Wen Biao,

"By the way, nothing happened in the mine these days, why didn't you see the Zhou manager of my house?"

In addition to having a guard leader who manages slaves, there is also a steward who is responsible for handling the mine's manpower, accounts, etc., after all, those guards who only know how to fight and kill will not manage the operation of a mine.

"Steward Zhou went to a cement factory today to collect the accounts, and there is nothing major in the mine, except that occasionally nearby villagers accidentally intrude into the area of the mine, and they are all driven away by the patrol."

Yu Wenbiao thought for a while and said, but suddenly he thought of something again, and said again:

"By the way, recently because the weather is too hot, a few of the soldiers have fallen ill, and a few of the slaves who are working have also died, and I am worried that the slaves will be infected with the plague, so I have people find a place to burn the corpses and the items they have used."

An He was a little speechless after listening to the other party's words, this Yu Wenbiao really didn't take human life seriously, and the death of a few slaves was actually said at the end, maybe in his opinion, this matter is not as important as the illness of a few soldiers. An He can understand the other party's thoughts, because in the eyes of the Tang people, these Tibetan slaves are actually an item of the master, and the price is still very cheap, and it is not a matter of dying a few at all. An He estimated that if it weren't for the fact that nothing major had happened in the mine, the Dianjun would definitely not even mention it.

"Well, it's okay, it's too hot these days, tomorrow I'll ask the house to send you some ice, and those slaves don't abuse them too much, the food almost doesn't matter, but the drinking water still has to be guaranteed, if there are too many deaths, this king will let you soldiers go up to mine, remember?"

Ann and Enwei said together.

Although the death of the slave condemned him as a conscience of future generations, he had long been mentally prepared for this kind of thing, after all, what he wanted to do was to step on the coal boss who dug the flesh and blood of coal slaves, not a good hall for giving porridge to people, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later, anyway, they are not Tang people, they have to be like a real Tang people, they regard these slaves as talking objects, and they don't need to treat them as human beings at all.

Of course, slaves can't die too much, otherwise no one will mine for him, so Yu Wenbiao is asked not to go too far, after all, these soldiers are not good at stubble, and now there is no Geneva Convention, and the abuse of prisoners of war is unavoidable.

"The general can rest assured, the general will use military law to restrain his subordinates, and the guards still want to rely on these slaves to mine to earn bonuses, and they all know how to do it."

Yu Wenbiao said with his fists clenched.

An Heke has stipulated that the monthly coal output of the slaves managed by each team of guards can reach a certain amount, and the higher the output, the more bonuses, these guards can now stare at the promised bonuses and drool, desperately let their slaves mine as much as possible, of course, they also know the truth of fishing with all their might, so they usually try not to abuse the slaves as much as possible.

When Anhe was inquiring about the mine, Li Xiaojiu in the shed also finished talking to the old man, uh~, to be exact, the old man was going to work, and he didn't have time to chat and fart with Li Xiaojiu here.

After sending the old man out of the shed, Li Xiaojiu came over thoughtfully, glanced at An He and said:

"An Qing, it's not easy for this grandson, let people give them an easier job."

"Obey orders!"

An He hurriedly agreed, in fact, even if Li Xiaojiu didn't say it, An He would let people take care of the pair of grandchildren and grandchildren, just now they said a lot of good things about An He in the shed, and even they didn't even know who opened this mine, but they just praised the benevolence of the mine owner, so that many poor people around could earn extra wages. This made An He finally breathe a sigh of relief, it is always a good thing for someone to praise himself, and presumably Li Xiaojiu, who is a father, should also be happy.

"By the way, how many people do you employ in this mine?"

Li Xiaojiu was about to get into the carriage, when he suddenly turned to An He and asked.

As for the details of mine management, the managers of each mine do it themselves, and he really doesn't know the number of employees. But fortunately, there is a Yu Wenbiao next to him, although he is not responsible for hiring people, but he is in the mine every day, he should know something, so An He gestured to Yu Wenbiao with his eyes. Yu Wenbiao's attention just now was all on An He, and he didn't notice that there was a Li Xiaojiu in the shed at all, and he didn't see it until Li Xiaojiu came out, which startled him too, and hurriedly looked around to see if there were any dangerous people, if His Majesty the Emperor had an accident with him, it was estimated that the ministers in the palace would be able to eat him raw.

Seeing An He's gestured gaze, Yu Wenbiao also immediately understood, and stepped forward to report:

"Your Majesty, the Black Stone Mountain Mine employs a total of more than a hundred people, most of them are young men who are responsible for loading, unloading and handling, and there are also some women from poor families, who are responsible for cooking, boiling water, etc., and the other mines employ fewer people than here, but there are two or three hundred people in total."

"Well, a few mines employ four hundred people, and counting the families behind them, it is estimated that the population is almost two thousand......"

Li Xiaojiu stopped when he said this, frowning as if he was thinking about something, and after a while, he said to An He,

"An Qing, you have done a great good."

After Li Xiaojiu finished speaking, he got into the carriage without looking back.

Seeing that Li Xiaojiu was about to go back, Li Zhi hurriedly followed, but An He was full of confusion, and he couldn't understand why the emperor would go to the coal mine on a whim, and after coming, he just looked around, chatted with an old man, and then boasted that he was ready to go back?

Although his mind was full of question marks, An He couldn't ask questions, so he could only follow into the carriage.

When he went back, Li Xiaojiu seemed to be very leisurely, and he was not in a hurry to run away, and the carriage drove much more smoothly, but at this time, it happened to be more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun in the sky seemed to want to roast people, and when they returned to Chang'an, they were all sweating profusely, and hurriedly rushed to the cold drink shop to sit down, and everyone ate a lot of cold drinks, which was much cooler.

sat in the cold drink shop until it was almost dark, and then Li Xiaojiu let An He leave, but when he was leaving, he asked the store to prepare a lot of different styles of cold drinks for him, which were served in a huge ice box, and brought them back to the palace in person, saying that he wanted the queen and Wu Mei to taste them.
