Chapter 39: Into the Mine
It has always been the heroes who rob the poor people, and the officials and lords in the county government are usually the best at it, which is also to provide assistance and cover for the heroes.
So for the first time, I heard Fang Yunchen say that he was willing to stand up for their suffering, go to find trouble for those big households, and even pull out the grain from their mouths, this feeling was like the sun coming out of the west, and most people still couldn't accept it for a while.
Some people even muttered in their hearts, should this county magistrate use this incident as an excuse, and the food raised in the end still went into his own pocket, right?
But at this time, I only heard Fang Yunchen continue to speak generously: "And you can rest assured, this official not only wants you to eat enough tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but also wants you to be able to eat enough every day in the future, and you will never work hungry like now."
Your previous land has been abandoned, and the official will take you to open up the wasteland and cultivate new fields!
Although these fields are under the name of the Ancheng County Ya, the income from planting and income is all yours, and the county government will not take a penny for three years! ”
Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar.
I haven't heard of farming without paying rent, although I don't know if the promise Fang Yunchen made at this time is true or false, but most of them are already moved.
Taking 10,000 steps back is much better than staying in the mine.
In the past few years, the black and swarthy cave not far away, like the bloody mouth of a fierce beast, has swallowed the lives of many miners.
Staying here is just a matter of dying sooner or later.
Only a small number of people are still waiting, thinking that there are still good officials in this world who are willing to speak for the people?
"If you still have concerns, you can also choose to stay here, after all, the mine is only temporarily closed, and after a while, the official will reopen the mine in the name of the county government, and if you want, you can continue to mine, and the salary will naturally be more than before."
Afterwards, Fang Yunchen didn't say anything more, but asked his subordinates to start registering one by one to divert the crowd.
Those who are willing to go with him to open up the wasteland and those who are unwilling to go are all registered in the register, so that they can be managed differently in the future.
But there is only one choice, and once you choose to stay, you will basically be a professional miner for the rest of your life.
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and the rest will be left to the subordinates.
It's just that there are so many miners here that they won't be able to leave for a while.
Sending two young officials to be in charge of guarding in the distance, Fang Yunchen jumped down from the top of the mountain and said to Shen Xuzi, who was eating melons and watching the excitement on the side: "Dao Chief, are you interested in going to the mine with me for a walk?" ”
Shen Xuzi, who had long heard that the mine was full of treasures, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Since my lord has this Yaxing, Poor Dao is naturally willing to accompany him!" ”
After explaining a few words to Yang Laoqi, Fang Yunchen walked into the pit with Shen Xuzi.
After years of operation, the height of the entrance at this time has reached more than four zhang, and the width is enough for more than a dozen people to march side by side.
In the tunnel near the entrance, the rock walls on both sides are embedded with fluorite, which can only be mined in the deep sea, and the section of the tunnel that has just entered the mine is reflected as if it were an underwater world.
And the further inward, the more dim the light became, and the He family only set up a stone candle every seven or eight zhang distance, barely able to see.
However, Fang Yunchen and Shen Xuzi both have cultivation in their bodies, and their perception is much sharper than that of ordinary people, and they can walk on the ground even in extremely dim environments.
The two of them went all the way deeper, the gloomy pit was filled with all kinds of unpleasant smells, the ground was uneven, and walking in such a pit felt like inadvertently breaking into the internal organs of a behemoth beast.
The further you go, the narrower the inner diameter becomes, and after walking for a long time, you can only bow slightly and continue to move forward.
Along the way, Shen Xuzi stared at his two eyes, but he didn't gain anything except copper ore all over the ground.
What about the legendary spirit stones and spirit veins?
But just when Shen Xuzi was disappointed, there was a sudden gust of wind in his ears.
Sou!
Shen Xuzi took it and saw that it was another spirit stone, which was naturally thrown by Fang Yunchen.
Although the previous ones had been used up, Fang Yunchen had just secretly restored two more pieces while everyone was cleaning up the battlefield.
This time, Fang Yunchen found that when he restored the items, he could converge the bright light, which was as convenient as turning off the background effects, which saved him a lot of trouble.
After catching the spirit stone, Shen Xuzi finally couldn't help but grin and asked, "Just give such a precious spirit stone like this?" ”
Fang Yunchen, who got the waist of the mine to be straight, waved his hand disapprerovingly: "How can I worry about the spirit stones, if it weren't for the Dao Chief's action today, I'm afraid we would have to give up the mine, wouldn't that be a disgrace to the official?" ”
Shen Xuzi smiled stupidly, it seems that the one who shot the most and killed the most just now should be you, Lord Fang, right?
And as soon as you are so righteous and upright, the other party doesn't even have a chance to be a deserter.
In any case, you also turned the tide and defended the Cold Valley Mine.
But Shen Xuzi knew that Master Fang had always been low-key, so he didn't expose it to his face, and could only smile very cooperatively.
"The spirit stone before is considered today's reward, and now this piece is regarded as the next month's honorarium, and I also ask the Taoist chief to sit here and help me guard the Hangu Mine."
Fang Yunchen clenched his fists and said.
"This kid really has a mine at home, maybe it's in the depths of this cold valley mine......"
Now Shen Xuozi finally understood why Fang Yunchen was so concerned about the mine, there was definitely a secret here.
"It's easy to say, Poor Dao naturally knows that the Hangu Mine is related to the livelihood of Anseong, and it is incumbent on him. People are in the mine, please relax, it's absolutely no problem to hand over to the poor road here. ”
Shen Xuozi is worthy of being an old fritter who often deals with dignitaries and nobles, and this official talk is also one after another.
Fang Yunchen Dashan: "Okay! Then there is the chief of the labor road! ”
With Shen Xuzi sitting here, Fang Yunchen was not worried about the comeback of the four wealthy clans for the time being.
Along the way, Fang Yunchen had already seen a large number of abandoned spirit stones scattered on the ground.
The difficulty of mining is almost zero, and there is a pile of them when you pick them up.
The current method is to take away all the waste spirit stones here without knowing it.
Regarding this point, Fang Yunchen already has a belly case, go back and plan carefully, he will definitely be able to do it seamlessly, and people will not have the slightest suspicion.
However, Fang Yunchen was not in a hurry, after all, he was the only one who had the ability to restore these waste spirit stones one by one.
In the eyes of others, these waste spirit stones are no different from ordinary stones.
In addition, there are many blood-streaked stones scattered on the ground in the tunnel.
These irregular stones with gray surfaces are covered with blood-red stripes on the surface, faintly revealing a burning breath.
