Chapter 63: Tian Huang Frozen Stone
On the way down the mountain, Mei'er explained the situation down the mountain to Li Mu. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Some of the workers working in the Tianhuangshi mining area were farmers in the fiefdom, and some were tenants in the fief after Mei'er bought the land.
Li Mu asked Mei'er about the working conditions of the workers in these mines.
It's like a cadre who goes to the countryside and asks how the villagers live.
It's just that Li Mu is here for the real, not for the false.
Zaimei told me that the workers who come to work here are all paid, and they can get 300 copper coins every month, and there will be a lunch to eat at noon.
Hearing this, Li Mu nodded in agreement, expressing his agreement with Mei'er's handling method.
Li Mu knew that the occupants of the fiefdom in ancient times should be called tenants, that is, the people who rented the fields of the owners of the fiefdoms.
Every year, regardless of the good year or the disaster year, a certain rent must be paid to the owner of the fief.
For farmers who have always relied on the sky for food, the annual harvest can only depend on the sky.
Luck will be the biggest guarantee for them to survive the year.
These same tenants have to work for their lords every year, regardless of disaster or good years.
Li Mu didn't want to do what he had been in the description of, the evil image of the landlord.
But he had to stand in this position, so Li Mu hoped that without breaking the original rules, he could give the tenants on his fiefdom through the Tianhuangshi Mine some help.
This point was explained by Li Mu when he came to Quanzhou in Mei'er.
It seems that Mei'er has done a good job, his explanation.
After a while, Li Mu and the others went down the hill and came all the way to the mines on both sides of the stream.
Supervising the mine were the male servants who came from the Viscount Mansion in Chang'an, so these stewards would respectfully say hello when they saw Li Mu walking in front.
Busy with the work at hand.
Along the way in the mine, I heard a lot of respectful voices, and I also saw a lot of excavated Tianhuang stones.
When passing by a bamboo basket containing Tian Huangshi, Li Mu picked up a piece of Tian Huangshi from a bamboo basket.
It's not big, only a stone the size of a goose egg.
When Li Mu asked Mei'er to mine Tianhuangshi, he once said how to distinguish Tianhuangshi.
The three elements of identifying Tian Huang are leather, lattice, and silk, three elements!
The skin is a layer of stone skin that is naturally formed, and the cracks left by Tian Huang during migration (which have generally been naturally filled) are red or yellow.
Silk is a natural texture that looks like a cut fresh radish, and only with these three elements can it be determined as Tianhuangshi!
These are the three major elements that distinguish Tian Huangshi.
And the best of the Tianhuang stone is the Tianhuang frozen stone.
Although the stone in Li Mu's hand is wrapped in a skin, there is also a large area of skin falling off.
Otherwise, Li Mu would not have seen this stone at a glance.
The stone in the hand is just like the description of the Tianhuang frozen stone, seeing the falling place, like a boiled egg that has peeled off the shell, you can see through the sun, the whole stone is clear and transparent, like solidified honey, moist and incomparable.
Li Mu was looking at the stones, and the miners who were working were also secretly looking at their owner, the owner of this fiefdom.
There is no imaginary burly figure, nor is there a noble person-like momentum, but like a young man next door.
It's just that these miners, standing not far away, always feel that there is a convincing strangeness in their hearts when they look at the owner of the stone.
Although I have not seen Li Mu, during this time, these workers working in the Tianhuang mining area have also heard some rumors about Li Mu.
These rumors were all obtained from those servants from Chang'an and the Viscount's Mansion.
Of course, these rumors are all about Li Mu's good aspects, although Li Mu is indeed as rumored.
Treat your subordinates leniently, be merciful, never beat or scold your subordinates, and even if you do something wrong, you will not punish your subordinates.
At most, it will be a verbal count, or if it is too severe, some wages will be confiscated.
These rumors were actually all deliberately confided by Mei'er to those domestic servants in their spare time, in a casual tone.
After all, this will be Li Mu's fief in the future, and if nothing else, this will be a permanent fief.
Treating the tenants in the fiefdom well is the way for a family to pass on the word forever.
Those families who treat tenants badly will not receive help from the tenants when they encounter difficulties.
In addition to treating the tenants in the fief well, it is also necessary to maintain sufficient majesty, which is the posture that a fief owner should maintain.
For the tenants in the fiefdom, a sense of closeness and majesty will be easier to manage.
And in the past month, Meier has implemented this method to the extreme.
In the mouths of those domestic servants, the naturalized viscount is a benevolent and tolerant viscount, and at the same time a majestic and capable viscount.
This also led to the fact that the workers on these construction sites, although they were looking at Li Mu, wanted to imprint the appearance of the owner in their minds.
But there was endless awe in his eyes.
Li Mu didn't know about this, because he was immersed in that piece of superb Tianhuang at this time.
This is the first time that Li Mu has been so close to appreciate this kind of attractive stone.
Li Mu was conquered by its beauty and the feeling of run, and sighed in his heart, why did Qianlong like Tian Huangshi so much.
Even when they die, they are to be taken into the tomb.
Rubbing the Tian Huang in his hand, Li Mu was satisfied, he felt that this decision to bring back these Tian Huang stones was definitely a correct decision.
"There's a big guy dug up there, sir, do you want to go and see it?" The overseer just below reported to Mei'er that they had dug up a big guy.
It's just that Mei'er saw Li Mu admiring the stone in his hand, so she didn't bother until she saw Li Mu put the stone in her hand in her arms, so she reminded her.
Hearing Mei'er say this, Li Mu saw that not far away, there was a relatively large pit in front of him, surrounded by many people.
Only then did Li Mu remember that when he was on the mountain just now, he saw that direction, as if something had happened.
Let's go down the hill and take a look.
Unexpectedly, when Li Mu passed by a bamboo basket, he saw a good stone, so he picked it up and looked at it, which made Li Mu, who saw Tian Huangshi for the first time.
I forgot what I had just thought.
If it weren't for Mei'er's reminder, Li Mu would have really forgotten the reason why he walked down the mountain in the first place.
"Hmm." nodded, and walked straight towards the big pit.
Li Mu guessed that the workers should have dug a relatively large piece of Tianhuang Stone, otherwise, they would not have spent so much effort to dig such a big pit.
"Let's go, the master is here." A steward standing at the edge of the pit saw Li Mu coming over, and immediately ordered the crowd to get out of the way so that Li Mu could check the situation in the pit.
Hearing the voice of the steward, the crowd that had originally gathered around the pit instantly gave way to half a circle.
Li Mu, who walked to the edge of the big pit, looked at the situation in the pit and was not surprised.
Mei'er, who was following behind her to see the situation in the pit, couldn't help but cover her mouth in surprise.
