Mo Hong's reaction was probably expected by these people in Dongxi Village, at least one of their many assumptions.

Therefore, these people were not too surprised, but they were slightly disappointed and a little angry, but they did not shout for it anymore.

It was the old man who responded, he sneered, and said: "This noble man is really upright, yes, we are all all the way." I also promised you that from this day on, if you need the children of our village to work, they will do it for one day, and if they don't need it, let them come back. The previous paperwork agreement is over, let's treat it as if it doesn't exist. ”

Mo Hong's thick eyebrows raised slightly: "Sure enough, it's just a piece of paper." If all the people in your village break the contract, you can't come to the yamen to beat the whole village to the board or put them in prison. You're probably right on this, so you have so much fear, right? ”

Everyone kept their faces calm and did not answer, and a few of them showed some triumph waiting to see the joke.

"That'...... That's it, it's still the same sentence, those who are willing to stay continue to work, and we still treat it as in the past. If you don't want to, you can leave after you get paid. Mohon said.

A burly middle-aged man beside the old man, the head of a village, listened to Mo Hong's indifferent words, felt angry in his heart, took a step forward, and said: "The matter has come to this, this chief steward will not think that your convoy can still go all the way like this month or so, right?" ”

Mo Hong's face was very pale, and he said slowly: "How do you know if you have a good way without trying." If you can't really get lucky, forget it, silver, when there is no black gold stone, our lord's family earns the same silver, works for the court the same, and lives a noble life. ”

"......" Everyone present was speechless.

Especially the people in the mining area, it is very surprising that Mo Hong would be so unreserved.

In that way, it is to say: Our lord's family is a noble person in the capital, but he doesn't earn the silver of this black gold stone, and his life is as bright and good, but some people are different.

"You!" The burly middle-aged man was in a hurry, and he wanted to take another step forward, but was pulled by the old man, "We're here to talk about things, not to make trouble." While persuading, he also motioned for him to look at Mo Hong's side, and the expressions of the two guards around him had changed, and the hands that were still holding the hilt of the knife and the fierce eyes seemed to be ready to kill the Quartet at any time.

The middle-aged man and the two guards glanced at each other, then looked at the unarmed villagers around them, and stopped indignantly.

Mo Hong glanced at him coldly and continued: "Okay, the hour is not early, and we will not stay with the visitors. ”

Then, gesturing in front of him, "From here, there are two sides, the east side of the station where the registered miners intend to continue to work, and the west side of the station that they do not want to stay." The senior management arranges for the registration of people and pays the miners who have left the miners. Whatever the rest of the people should do, let's disperse. ”

After speaking, he didn't look at the crowd in front of him, but turned around, walked to the door of the steward's room, and whispered a few words to the two guards who came with him. Watching the two of them take the order to leave, he entered the house.

Most of the people left behind looked at each other, and although Gao An, who was ordered by Mo Hong, was also full of question marks, he still remembered to work, and hurriedly called two stewards and men, and set up a table on the east and west sides respectively, ready to register the miners who stayed and left.

Those miners did not listen to the stewards according to the rules set by the mining area as before, but were called to a place by the old village chiefs from each village. In the middle of the old dwellings of the clans, they are tightly surrounded layer by layer.

All kinds of stewards, servants, and servants in the mining area were ruthlessly hung aside by the miners with the lowest status.

A hint of gloom flashed across the faces of several stewards. If you talk about the number of people, it must be that there are many locals in Dongxi, and if these people collectively turn their faces, the mining area will have to work hard to suppress it. If one accidentally injures a person's life, it is even more difficult to deal with it.

Mo Hong's subordinates and some of the nurses who were invited were very calm, vigilantly concerned about the situation of the group of people in Dongxi, maintaining their own alert distance, and ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

About two teas had passed, and what the stewards feared had not happened. The people who came to negotiate from the villages walked out of the crowd first, and did not greet the manager of the mining area, but walked out, and the rest of the miners greeted each other.

After a short time, all the miners returned, and then silently stood on the west side in the direction of Mohong.

Gao An wiped his forehead, okay, this matter is now in the past, and they don't need to register separately.

But the hidden dangers in the future are difficult to say, so many obviously hostile people stay in the mining area, how can they be managed in the future?

Although they had never experienced such a big scene, they had always dealt with the tenant farmers in the Zhuangzi and resolved some disputes.

At this time, although they were apprehensive, it was no problem to maintain a calm expression and suppress the concentration of the scene, and several people beckoned to their stewards and servants, as if nothing had happened, and ordered everyone to do things as usual.

There was also a steward on the miner's side to greet him: since the work was over, they went back to clean up and prepare for dinner.

When the people had dispersed and the mining area and its surroundings had returned to their previous calm, Gao An and the two stewards had time to talk to Mo Hong.

Mo Hong heard a knock on the door, opened the door, and while walking back to his seat, he pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Sit down." ”

These rooms in the mining area are two rows of houses built in a hurry after the earlier search for the black gold stone and the discovery of huge reserves that can be excavated all year round.

In the front row, there are three steward's rooms, one living room, and two guards. The other row has a total of three large houses, which were the residence of the workers at that time, and are now inhabited by the guards.

Because I was in a hurry, the room was rough inside and out, and only the brick joints were hooked with fine mud on the outside, and the inside was only plastered with mud and mortar, which was very simple.

The tables and chairs in the room, as well as a few roll cabinets, are not very particular, and they are all made of heavy weight.

Gao An had long since lost his previous surprise and unaccustomedness, sat down with Mo Hong's gesture, and asked first, "Steward Mo, what should we do next?" I've heard that before transporting the Ugin Stone, it was still a secret thing to set up obstacles. Now that the villagers have torn their faces, our transport convoy is afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch. ”
