Chapter 402: The Mine Collapses

Yuwen Chengdu stopped people outside the tent, hugged his fists at the big tent and said: "Your Highness, Hu Benlang will ask to see you." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½ā€

Li Wang was stunned, how did Niu Jin come here, speaking of which, Niu Jin was the first batch to follow him, even earlier than Zhou Yu, but he was at the second-rate level of martial arts, although he had just started at that time, he also repaired the book to Jizhou Thorn Shi Han Fu, and promoted Niu Jin to the general of the tiger Benlang, just to win people's hearts.

Since then, he has been ordered to cooperate with Hao Zhao to deal with affairs, and he has not seen him for a long time.

And when it comes to General Hu Ben Lang, this is the official position of the Assassin Mansion, which is fundamentally different from the General Hu Ben Zhonglang once held by Yuan Shu.

"It seems that there is a problem in iron ore mining in Changshan, otherwise Niu Jin doesn't need to make a trip in person, let him in."

"Yes."

Yuwen Chengdu answered, and then got out of the way outside.

Niu Jin is still on his back, but he has matured a lot, and at this time his beard has grown, and he is wearing armor, and he looks like a full heroic general.

Niu Jin hurriedly bowed and said: "The last general, Hu Benlang, will bring Niu Jin and knock on His Royal Highness the King of the North." ā€

While rubbing mahjong, King Li did not forget to say: "Niu Jin, you are not in Changshan to lead the army, why did you come to the front line?" ā€

Niu Jin hugged his fists and said: "If you have something important, I hope Your Majesty will retreat." ā€

Although Cao Cao has not seen it, that force is actually a little close to King Li, and he doesn't think it will be his own person.

King Li smiled: "It's okay, now that Brother Meng De is a guest here, there is no need to hide it." ā€

Niu Jin's heart sank, wasn't he still at war not long ago? Why is Cao Cao sitting in the enemy camp today, is he surrendering?

However, he didn't dare to ask more, and said: "Your Highness, there are a few things to be told here, Lingshou County, Changshan County, has discovered a black stone mine again, and Mrs. Hao has ordered me to come to inquire whether to dig the coal mine here." ā€

Li Wang said: "What is there to ask about this matter, the more natural mining, the better, even if the current refining technology cannot be reached, but sooner or later it can be used." ā€

Niu Jin said: "It's not so simple, the mountain here is steep, and the outside is covered with rocks, it is not easy to mine, and this matter is related to the second thing, that is, the coal mine that was still being excavated collapsed a corner, at that time I ordered people to suspend the excavation, but some people disregarded the dissuasion, rashly went in to dig, and finally led to the second collapse of the coal mine, hundreds of people were trapped in it, I am afraid that there is no survival." ā€

King Li's face flashed angrily, and he asked in a suppressed voice: "Why do you go to dig when you know that there is danger, what is the role of the soldiers waiting for the guards?" ā€

Niu Jin smiled bitterly: "It's not as simple as you think, the conditions given by His Highness are very good, and you can receive wages if you set a quota every month, but at the same time, Your Highness has another benefit to remember?" ā€

Li Wang was stunned for a moment, and immediately knew what Niu Jin was talking about, and he set a fixed salary for everyone, but he had to complete the set workload, and for some capable people, as long as the coal mines they dug up meet the standards, the excess will be rewarded according to the quantity.

With this superior welfare, many poor people dug day and night, and many people fell, but fortunately, there was no danger to their lives. But today is different, there are people killed in the mine, and I don't know how the people will spread it.

asked: "Has Hao Zhao responded, don't tell me that he is still waiting for my news at the moment." ā€

Niu Jin said: "That's not true, Hao Taishou came to the scene after the incident, and strictly ordered the craftsmen and soldiers not to reveal it, but there is no impermeable wall in the world, and sooner or later it will be spread." ā€

King Li nodded silently, looked at Cao Cao for a while and said, "Brother Mengde, I don't know if you have any insights that can help me?" ā€

Cao Cao laughed in his heart, this King Li has an excellent face and reputation, if he doesn't bother to ask about such a trivial matter, but since he has spoken, he should also think about it.

After a pause, he said, "It's not that there is no way, but Brother Li is going to have some blood." ā€

Li Wang laughed and said, "Why don't you say it." ā€

Cao Cao threw out a sheet of 80,000 yuan and said: "These people work hard, just for reward, in this case, why not increase the pension to appease the family, and spread the reputation by them, presumably those who think of good will naturally have a break." ā€

Li Wang was about to say yes, but Zhou Yu spoke: "Cao Si is not here." ā€

King Li was stunned for a moment, looked at the two of them in amazement, Zhou Yu threw out 50,000 yuan, and was touched by Cao Cao, with a sense of chagrin on his face, and slowly said the next words.

"Cao Sikong is not asking His Highness to bleed, this is to drag us down, it is good to say that one or two increase the pension, the number of people is more than 100 people, this money is not small, not to mention that the people see the amount of this pension, it is inevitable that they will not have evil thoughts, and then they will not do any work one by one, and quietly commit suicide, I am afraid that His Royal Highness will not be able to talk about it if he does not accompany the pension, and if this continues, will it drag down the economy of Changshan and even Jizhou?"

What Zhou Yu said was reasonable, but King Li took it for granted that Cao Cao was under house arrest by himself, and he would think about serving himself, but he didn't want this hero to learn to be a yin man......

Dissatisfied: "Brother Meng De, this is not a helper, is it a little unkind." ā€

Cao Cao didn't speak, but Guo Jia came out to protect the lord: "Your Highness doesn't know, the lord is not trying to harm Changshan, but this is indeed the most effective and direct way so far. ā€

King Li smiled bitterly, it is so easy to say there, everyone has commonality, if you give a favor to one person, then other people will feel that they should also enjoy such a favor, and in the long run, they will feel that it is what he King Li should do, and it will be difficult to get out when the time comes.

Niu Jin didn't sit or sit at the station, watching the four of them chatting energetically, completely unaware of their existence......

Hurriedly said: "Your Highness, what is good, please ......"

"Alright." King Li interrupted him: "Just do as Brother Meng De said, but remember, while raising the pension, I ordered Hao Zhao to publicize my words, and all craftsmen who work under my command (including craftsmen who mine, dig ditches, make weapons, refine ores, etc.) can be incorporated into the royal palace after three years of work, and then after two years of work, they can enjoy the pension." ā€

Niu Jin hurriedly wrote it down, but King Li didn't seem to be at ease, and said: "In the future, if there are any craftsmen who die unexpectedly because they don't obey the orders of the army, the pension will be halved, and the craftsman who deliberately commits suicide will not be given a pension, okay, you can go back quickly and assist Hao Zhao to deal with it." ā€

Niu Jin got up and left, but he didn't take two steps and paused, and said with a sad face: "Your Highness, your old man should wait for the Jinkou to be moved, and let people write it down on the letter and I will take it back, I'm afraid I will forget it......"

"Huh!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed, and it happened to be King Li who lit the cannon. Dragon seven pairs, full of cards, King Li lost another 48 good Bingzhou war horses out...... (To be continued.) )
