Hearing His Majesty's request, the county commander's expression tightened, and he looked up at Zhao Gongzi.

I have seen the mine where I went to dig coal, and the depth of the mine was still open-pit mining long before.

It's just that over the years, over time, mining has expanded further.

Whether it is moving forward or sinking, it can be said that there is no bottom.

According to Zhao Gongzi's meaning, the distance must be more than 10 meters deep.

All the miners mine inside, enter in the morning, and bring food and water with them, which will not come out until the evening.

The work there is very dangerous in my eyes.

Therefore the remuneration for absenteeism among them shall be higher than that of those who work above.

At that time, the application method was adopted for who would work below.

Originally, I was thinking of recruiting dozens of people, but in the end, the number of people who signed up was more than several times more than expected.

As a last resort, you can only take the way of drawing lots, and those who are caught can go to the mine to work to make more money.

Those who caught going to the mine, everyone showed excitement.

And those who did not go to the mine were disappointed, after all, such a good opportunity to make money was gone.

But such a deep pit is still very frightening for the county order.

I am worried about danger, and Your Majesty is the Supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, if you are at the front, anything happens, it is not something that you can afford as a small county order.

"Since Lao Li wants to see it, then let's take a look."

"Zhao Gongzi?"

The county order wanted to dissuade him, but Zhao Mu waved his hand.

Since he wants to see it, let him see what it can do, these are not secrets!

Seeing Zhao Gongzi like this, the county magistrate could only nod and agree, but his heart was ready to sacrifice himself for His Majesty.

If Your Majesty is really in danger later, you must rush forward as soon as possible to protect Your Majesty.

Even if he dies, His Majesty can't make any mistakes.

A few people went deeper inside, and as they went deeper and deeper, there were more and more people inside.

Inside the mine, carts loaded with coal were pushed out of the tracks.

Pushed aside, a carriage stopped aside, and the people around him carried the coal to the carriage and left.

Looking at the dark mine, there are a large number of kerosene lamps on the left and right sides that extend into it, giving people the feeling that it is bottomless.

"Brother Xian, are you digging in it?"

"When I came across his mine, I thought it was an open-pit mine.

It wasn't until all the coal in the open pit was mined that I realized that there was still a lot of coal hidden underground.

And the coal you see is mined more than 10 meters underground.

Actually, I speculated that such a coal mine could extend at least a few dozen meters underground.

But at present, according to my strength, mining 10 meters can ensure the safety of the lives of this group of people who can work.

If it is mined further, once there is a landslide or other problems, with the current rescue level of Datang, there is only a dead end.

Therefore, even if the output is lower, I will ensure the safety of the lives of the people who work for me. ”

"Virtuous brother is talented, my old Li is ashamed of himself.

It's just that, according to the meaning of the virtuous brother, the coal mine reserves here are still very huge.

But for some reasons, you can only dig up to 10 meters, doesn't that mean? ”

Zhao Mu shook his head.

"You misunderstood what I meant, relying on the method I provided, digging up to a few tens of meters is more than enough.

But about 10 meters is the maximum depth I can guarantee the safety of everyone's life.

If you dig further underground, once there is danger, the miners working underground will have no choice but to die. ”

Oooooooooo

Zhao Mu's words didn't shock Li Er much, but looked at Zhao Mu with excitement.

"Brother Xian, you scared me, I thought you were going to say that the coal here is going to be lighted.

At that time, I thought that if the coal mine in this place was lit, I would arrange more people to look for minerals around.

Since there are a lot of coal mines, and they can go 10 meters or more, this is much easier. ”

Just ask you, is money or life important?

For Li Er, of course, money is more important!

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Mu looked at Li Er with a puzzled expression.

"Brother Xian, don't you know that I have a tooth city in Chang'an City?"

Of course I do!

We can buy a lot of slaves in the Jasqua and let these slaves go to work in the mines, and mine a lot.

If there is really a landslide as the virtuous brother said, some slaves will die.

If you want to talk about Datang, you also have your own set of distribution of this identity.

For a long time, everyone said that the status of farmers and businessmen was the lowest.

According to the three religions and nine streams, this merchant is the end of the upper nine streams.

In addition to the upper ninth stream, there are also middle nine streams and lower nine streams.

Through these classifications, people's status hierarchies are fixed, forming a chain of contempt that belongs to the whole society.

Of course, for the Tang people, even if it is the most final drama in the lower ninth rate, the prostitute, can be regarded as half a free man.

There is no worse than the slaves.

These slaves, the moment they became slaves, were driven by their masters for life.

And the children born between slaves and slaves are still slaves.

Once the slaves are branded, their identities are registered with the government.

Unlike free people, who have their own identity tags, this ID tag is similar to the ID cards of later generations.

If an ordinary person wants to go out, he needs to have such an identity tag and accept the government's inspection anytime and anywhere.

If you are a fellow villager, you can be exempted from being familiar with each other, and you don't need to check it.

It's just that this stranger, when he comes to a place, if he can't provide his identity card, he will be twisted to the government and then subject to the government's investigation.

If it is an ordinary person, it will be repatriated, and if it is a slave, it will be miserable.

Any price can be paid, in order to dismantle the slave status.

Unless the master's family takes the initiative to go to the county government to remove their status and let them regain their freedom.

But such an idea is tantamount to a fool's dream.

And if ordinary people are killed by ordinary people, they will be severely punished by the government, compensation and other things.

And a person who is a slave and is killed by someone else only needs to compensate the original owner with money.

If you are beaten to death by the master's family, you will be completely blamed and thrown into a mass grave, and the master's family will not have to bear any responsibility.

This perfect set of laws protected the interests of both ordinary people and the slave owners of the landlord class.

Rather, it was the slaves who toiled all their lives until they died.

And the price of these slaves is very low, if you come to mine, it is even better!
