After conquering the Yellow Lion City, he obtained a lot of money and food, and everyone was very happy, whether it was the city guards, the guards, or the thorn water division.

Because Gu Bei said that after going back, everyone can get a reward.

The flying boat transported the money and food back to Thorn City, which could not be transported in one trip, and needed to be run several times.

If it was usual, Gu Bei would definitely want to feel distressed if he consumed so many spirit stones, but now, Gu Bei's mood was happy.

"Let's go and see the iron mines."

Iron ore is the main purpose of Gu Bei's attack on Yellow Lion City, and with iron ore, Thorn City will no longer be restricted by people in terms of salt and iron.

Iron is needed for people's lives, production, and weapons for the army, and if you keep spending money on it, this expenditure is too great.

Now it's different, they will soon have their own iron mines, and they only need to send out some manpower to mine and smelt.

The iron ore mine, in the southern suburbs of Yellow Lion City, is currently being mined, with five veins and rich iron ore reserves.

Compared to other metals, the underground iron ore reserves are actually very large, but Thorn City just doesn't have them.

Gu Bei took Ye Wei and Sol, brought a cart of silver coins, and rode to the iron mine in the southern suburbs of Yellow Lion City.

Because the battle on the side of Yellow Lion City started and ended too quickly, the people on the mine side had not yet reacted, and the hard laborers and craftsmen who mined the ore had not had time to escape.

"Stand together, be honest!"

The soldiers of the city guard drove the men and craftsmen together, and the soldiers guarding the mines were all disarmed and tied up.

On this side of the mine, thousands of people gathered together in fear, not knowing what fate awaited them.

Gu Bei walked in front of more than a thousand people, looking at their yellow faces and thin muscles, many of them still had injuries on their bodies, and the words they said became softer after all.

"I am Gu Bei, the sixth prince of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, and the Yellow Lion City has been taken by me, in other words, from today onwards, you will be under my rule!"

"I don't know how the people of the Iron Sword Gate treated you when you used to work here."

"From today onwards, all previous rules will be nullified!"

"This prince promises, not to mention how good it is to eat in the future, everyone will have food every day, if anyone dares to deduct it, I will cut off his head!"

"This prince promises that as long as everyone works hard every day, they will be paid, the money may not be very much, but there must be, if someone dares to deduct it, I will also cut off his head!"

After Gu Bei finished speaking, those hard laborers, craftsmen, and soldiers did not cheer or applaud, but looked at each other, because they didn't know whether what Gu Bei said was true or false.

Everyone has heard a lot of similar beautiful words before, some of them have only been practiced for a few days, and some have not even been practiced for a day.

The past experience made them no longer dare to believe any beautiful words they heard, and they only hoped that they could eat enough and not be squeezed to death.

Of course, Gu Bei understands this mentality, and he also knows how to deal with it.

Gu Bei said to Ye Wei: "Bring the money up." ”

"Yes!"

Ye Wei immediately took a few guards to carry boxes of money off the carriage and opened the lid of the box.

Strings of copper coins and broken silver appeared in front of everyone, and those laborers and craftsmen had never seen so much money in their lives, and their eyes were straight.

Gu Beidao: "Now, I will send each of you a hundred yuan, collect it, if someone dares to rob your money, you will sue him, and this prince will definitely not let him go." ”

"Whoa!"

Gu Bei grabbed a large handful of copper coins and said, "Send money!" ”

After speaking, he took the lead in separating a string of money and sending it to the craftsman at the front according to two hundred wen per person.

These craftsmen felt as if they were in a dream, one moment they were worried about life and death, and now they were holding a pile of copper coins.

Not only these craftsmen, but also those who were conscripted for hard labor also had two hundred yuan, and many of them suddenly cried while holding their money.

They are the worst, they are conscripted here, they work for free, let alone money, and they can't even eat.

Now, they have actually received the money, a scene that used to only appear in dreams.

After distributing the money, Gu Bei led people into the place where the mine cooked, ordered the cook to cook enough food for everyone, and told the cook that he would also eat here with everyone.

When those cooks learned that Gu Bei was going to eat here, they immediately exerted their strength in fear and tried to make it as delicious as possible.

After the meal was ready, Gu Bei really took a large porcelain bowl and a pair of chopsticks, and ate with everyone and ate the same thing.

"Don't look at me, eat, eat."

Gu Bei took the lead in picking up the rice in his mouth, the taste was actually not very good, but he did not hesitate at all.

Gu Bei moved his chopsticks, and the others also began to eat.

It's pitiful, this is the best and fullest meal they have eaten since they came here, and even the bottom of the pot has been scraped clean.

Gu Bei used practical actions to gain the trust of these craftsmen and laborers.

No, in the future, there will be no more hard labor here, there will be just ordinary people working to earn money.

After leaving the mine, Ye Wei and the guards looked as usual, after all, Gu Bei was also very good to ordinary people in Thorn City.

But Thor's expression suddenly became complicated.

He had never seen such a superior person, and the reason why he became a pirate was because his life was oppressed and he couldn't live anymore.

If he could meet someone like Gu Bei at the beginning, maybe he would choose to be a good person.

It was also from this moment that Thor's mentality changed, he no longer thought about how to detoxify and how to escape from Thorn City, but wanted to see what kind of person Gu Bei was, and whether he was pretending?

Of course, that's all, if you want him to be convinced all at once, it's impossible, he's not a child.

After returning to the Yellow Lion City, Gu Bei asked Ye Wei to stay here temporarily, especially in the mine, the promised money and food must not be in short supply, otherwise those people will not have any trust in the government in the future.

Gu Bei took Sol and others, escorted Pei Nanyuan, and returned to Thorn City.

After returning to Thorn City, Pei Nanyuan was put on special shackles and put in the same cell where Thor lived, and was kept tightly guarded.

Gu Bei found Li Qingling and asked her for some more Heart-Eating Pills.

"Miss Li, this time it's a seventh-order sword cultivator, and the Heart Devouring Pill is no problem to deal with a seventh-order sword cultivator, right?"

Li Qingling said: "Of course it's no problem, I forgot to tell you that I am about to become a fourth-order alchemist." ”

"Fourth-order?" Gu Bei was stunned.

How old is she? It hasn't been long since he became a third-order alchemist, and he is about to break through to the fourth-order so soon?

Li Qingling smiled: "Haven't you broken through to the sixth order in just two years?" Everyone has their own chances. ”

Gu Bei nodded, this is the truth, he almost forgot that he had broken the sixth order in two years, and in the eyes of others, he was also a monster.

A person like Li Qingling definitely has no talent to say, and it is not strange that he has adventures.

"Then trouble Miss Li, I will have someone send the elixir and alchemy materials to deal with later."

Li Qingling handed a jade gourd to Gu Bei and said, "Don't worry." ”

Gu Bei thanked him again, and then took this gourd to Pei Nanyuan, he needed these high-end combat power very much now, and he could subdue one of them.
