Located on the outer tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, off the coast of Goguryeo, this copper mining island was one of many mines controlled by Liu Bei's father-in-law, Zhen Yi.

Because the coinage department is independent of the administrative system of the three counties in Liaodong, Bing Yuan and Guan Ning, who are county officials, do not know that this department exists, and they only have some doubts about the policy of "bartering".

After all, "bartering" is too cumbersome to trade.

For example, if you want to buy a piece of cloth, and the price of the cloth is two stones, then you have to carry the two stones of grain to the market. If you buy cloth and buy something else at the same time......

Then you'll have to push a cart of grain to the market.

And if it is a currency trading system, then you only need to carry money, which is very light and fast.

However, "bartering" is the most effective way to avoid being cut leeks. No matter how much copper coins are flooded outside, no matter how many copper coins are minted by families and officials everywhere...... I'm sorry, the three counties of Liaodong don't circulate this (copper coin), if you want to buy something from Liaodong, please take out the corresponding grain.

Without food, nothing is needed.

But on the other hand, Liaodong can take the massive copper coins minted and go to various places to buy and buy frantically - because except for the three counties of Liaodong, all parts of the country recognize the rules of currency transactions.

Once this method of sweeping the world's resources is implemented, it only takes three to five years to collect all the world's materials for its own use - that is to say, how fast Liaodong County mints copper coins, how fast can it plunder the world's wealth.

Although this truth is very simple, ordinary people can't see through it.

What is the most important thing in troubled times? It's not money, it's not a house, it's not a car, it's not an antique...... It's materiel. If you have a material, you have the pricing power, and if you say it's worth, it's worth as much.

Of course, these are all questions that Li Feng needs to consider.

As a prisoner, Wang Lie had to think about how to be free every day.

Every absenteeism who digs a copper mine for a month will receive a copy of the "Absenteeism Code" presented by the supervisor.

However, because most absenteeism is illiterate, especially Chinese characters, the "Code of Absenteeism" is dispensable for them.

But Wang Lie is different, Wang Lie is literate.

So this "Absenteeism Code" is very, very important for him.

Therefore, whenever he has free time, he holds the "Code of Absenteeism" written on the bamboo slip and studies the way to gain freedom.

The first 177 articles of the "Absenteeism Code" are all penalties, and there are clear penalties for each type of neglect. From article 178 onwards, it is written how to obtain freedom.

According to Article 178 of the Code of Conduct, anyone who is absent from work, regardless of race, can be freed immediately if he accumulates 10,000 points.

10,000 points, not too much.

It seems that it won't be long before I can get out of trouble!

Wang Lie nodded excitedly and continued to look down.

Article 179 of the Code of Absenteeism: One point can be earned for each day of work (5 a.m. to 9 p.m.).

10,000 points = 10,000 days = 27 years.

Wang Lie foamed at the mouth and fainted in despair.

After a while, Wang Lie woke up and continued to look down.

Article 180 of the Code of Absenteeism provides that one point can be awarded for every 100 dollars paid; Pay 1,000,000 money on the spot and get free immediately...

Wang Lie thought about his penniless self, and continued to look down with grief and indignation.

Article 181 of the "Code of Absenteeism", the mine and Liaodong County, Lelang County, and Xuanwu County of Dahan are friendly cooperative units, and those who are familiar with or have a relationship with the three counties will be freed immediately!

Wang Lie jumped up excitedly, and for a moment he felt that he was saved, he vigorously patted the iron door of the small black house, and shouted loudly: "Someone! Come! I know Liu Bei! Let me out! ”

After patting for a while, a masked foreign woman came to the iron gate with an iron rod and looked at Wang Lie with puzzled eyes.

Wang Lie said anxiously: "Let me out!" I know Liaodong Taishou Liu Bei! ”

The masked woman looked dazed: "何のことをいってる?" ”

"I know Liaodong Taishou Liu Bei!"

"何のことをいってる?"

“………”

Wang Lie looked at the masked woman with a beak full of birds, obviously trying to digest the fact that the two sides did not understand the language.

After a pause, he said unrelentingly: "I know Liu Bei, the Taishou of Liaodong!! ”

The masked woman's eyes widened and she opened the iron door of the small black room......

After a while, the masked woman finished beating Wang Lie, separated her index and middle fingers slightly, pointed to her own eyes, and then pointed to Wang Lie's eyes, warned the latter not to act rashly, and left.

"It's too hard, it's too hard to be free!"

Wang Lie sat on the ground with his hair scattered, muttering to himself, and at the same time his heart was full of remorse.

Especially when the small black house next door came to the heart-rending "iron doors, iron windows and iron chains" of the simple Han people, Wang Lie couldn't wait to hack himself to death.

The lyrics, it sounds so painful.

Just when Wang Lie lost his desire to survive and was about to become a tool man completely......

On this day, an army occupied the place, announcing in the language of the Han people that this copper mine now belonged to Liu Bei, the Taishou of Liaodong, and the miners were treated as usual! The Absenteeism Code is still valid!

This kind of violent replacement of the owner of the copper mine is often staged, and in the earliest time, this mine belonged to the Silla state, and was later robbed by Goguryeo; Later, it was robbed by a group of Han people, but not long after, a group of masked women came, "beat away" the group of Han people, and occupied the copper mine.

To be precise, today this wave of Han people is the fifth mine owner.

Although the mine owners have been changing, absenteeism will never change, and it has always been them.

Therefore, all the absentees looked numbly at Liu Bei and Li Feng who were standing on the high platform like a river, and there was no wave in their hearts.

Except for one absenteeism.

Wang Lie rushed to the bottom of the high platform, stretched out his calloused hands, and cried with tears: "Xuande Gong, save me!" ”

The high platform is about five or six zhang high from the pit below.

Liu Bei looked at the skinny middle-aged man below with hairballs tied into hairballs and frowned.

"Fourth brother, why does this person's voice sound like that of the Great Sage Wang Lie?"

Li Feng glanced at Wang Lie, shook his head and smiled: "Big brother, you have heard the difference, what kind of person is Wang Lie?" He's a great sage that you can't invite from the thatched house, how can he make a living in such a place, let's go... There are still several mines to occupy today......"

Liu Bei stood still, staring at Wang Lie, squatting down and asking, "Are you really Wang Yanfang?" ”

Wang Lie nodded excitedly, choked up and couldn't speak.

After a while, Wang Liewei, who had been lifted from the iron chains and anklets, trembled and knelt down in front of Liu Bei, "If Xuande Gong does not give up, the village husband Wang Lie is willing to serve the dogs and horses." ”

Liu Bei was overjoyed, and was about to step forward to help, when he suddenly heard Li Feng reminding him on the side: "Big brother, there are already people who are too shou of Daifang County, a few days ago, the imperial court heard that the eldest brother wanted to reset Daifang County, and he has ordered the former Taishan County Taishou Liangmao to be the Taishou of Daifang County, and he will arrive in a few days." ”

"This..."Liu Bei suddenly hesitated.

When he recruited Wang Lie several times before, he promised to help him find a position in the imperial court to take the position of the county guard.

Hearing this, Wang Lie hurriedly said, "Lie is willing to be a little official!" ”

Liu Bei took Wang Lie's hand and said apologetically: "Yan Fang, then you will be a county first, right?"

As for the special treatment that was set before, Liu Bei didn't mention it, he was just a county leader, and he was not a leader, how could there be special treatment.

"Thank you, lord!"

Wang Lie bowed deeply.

So, Liu Bei took Wang Lie and led the army to sweep the entire north of the peninsula, reset Daifang County, and at the same time grabbed many copper mines.

At this point, the doubts in Wang Lie's heart gradually dissipated.

With his wisdom, it was hard not to suspect that Liu Bei was deliberately harming him.

But all the way down, until the official establishment of Daifang County, all Liu Bei's behaviors were very reasonable.

The unexpected encounter in the copper mine that day was more like a chance encounter with Liu Bei to reset the county of Fang, rather than anything else.

And, most importantly, he knew the women who spoke the language of birds!

Wang Lie put his mind at ease and took Fang County to become a county magistrate in a down-to-earth manner.

At this point, Liu Bei's actual control of the county has reached four, with a population of nearly two million, and it is still increasing rapidly.
