"Two more ...... households"

"In other words, there will be an increase in forced labor?"

Chu Mu leaned under the tree and looked at the mine in front of him aimlessly, but in his mind, he remembered what Xu Yuan said just now.

It's not that he wants to get a position on a whim, but he is thinking about the deep meaning of this......

It is a very simple comparison of numbers, and now there are nearly 500 inspections at the Nanshan Inspection Institute, and this Nanshan mine, counting the recent increase in forced labor, is more than 3,000 forced labor.

On average, one inspector is in charge of six or seven conscriptions.

This ratio is undoubtedly extremely stable.

Moreover, the management system of the mine for forced labor is extremely strict, and the division of each mining area is also distinguished by the forced labor, and there is even a joint sitting system for forced labor.

With all this, it is clear that there is no need to increase inspections without other changes.

Not to mention, it is still an increase in the overall establishment of the inspection office!

"If you want to increase the number of conscriptions......

Chu Mu silently looked at the mine in front of him, but the surprise in his eyes became more and more intense.

In this era, how many people can a small border county have.

There are more than 3,000 conscripts in the mines, and not long ago another 1,000 conscripts disappeared silently in the county, and now, the mines have to increase their conscriptions......

As far as he knows, this Qinghe County is not the only Nanshan mine that is levying conscription.

Whether it is road construction, water control, city defense, or even land reclamation, every year is a necessary thing for the normalization of forced labor.

As for conscription, it is for the government to work, and naturally it is impossible for the old, weak, sick and disabled, young and middle-aged, to be the main body of conscription.

Every conscription is likely to be the pillar of a family.

A few thousand conscripts can mean thousands of families!

"Aren't you afraid of rebellion?"

Chu Mu pursed his lips, looking at the numb laborers not far away, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Oppression is often accompanied by resistance.

The only difference is whether the means of oppression are clever or not.

At present, the means of oppression are undoubtedly at the lowest level, and there is not even the slightest cover-up, and they are still adding fuel to the fire.

"It's time to eat!"

"It's time to eat! Come here, hurry up and eat! Keep working after eating! ”

The sound of shouting faintly entered his ears, Chu Mu glanced at the source of the sound, as usual, under the leadership of several inspections, several servants of the gang shouted carrying baskets of food.

If nothing else, the basket should be filled with nest heads.

A nest made of cornmeal mixed with crushed corn cobs and wheat bran.

At least, in this Nanshan Town, Chu Mu has not found food that is more difficult to swallow than this nest, and it can be said that it is completely for the use of conscription.

In the case of inspection, it is naturally a small stove alone, and the food is not bad.

"Let's go, shepherd boy, let's go eat first, and then come back to change shifts."

"Okay."

Chu Mu nodded, did not refuse, and quickly followed the loud inspection.

The management of the inspection institute is strict, and the management of the inspection is not relaxed, at least, for the low-level inspection like Chu Mu.

Eating, all in turns, guarding, that is a turnip and a pit, unless you rest or take turns, otherwise, a pit, is day after day.

Of course, no matter how humble the low-level inspection is, it is also a high-ranking existence for the conscription.

"I heard that the people of the third team killed a wild boar yesterday, and we should have a good time today."

"Tsk, wild boar, this is the best thing!"

The man chattered endlessly, but suddenly raised his hand and put it on Chu Mu's shoulder, looking familiar:

"By the way, shepherd boy, I will be paid tomorrow, borrow a little money from my brother, and I will pay you back next month."

Hearing this, the corners of Chu Mu's mouth couldn't help twitching, this is really not seen at all!

"Brother He, I've only been on duty for a few days, how much money can I have!"

The man grinned: "Shepherd boy, you are wrong, we have never lived on salaries for inspection." ”

Chu Mu was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"Haha, our inspection station guards this mine, there is a lot of oil and water!"

"The people above eat meat, and we little ones drink soup......"

"He Ergou, what are you talking nonsense?"

He Ergou was halfway through his words, and the sudden scolding immediately made He Ergou close his mouth, and when he saw Li Gang coming with a gloomy face, He Ergou obviously couldn't hide his fear, and hurriedly explained with a smile:

"Team up, I'm ......"

"I can't control my mouth, do I want to sew it for you!"

Without giving He Ergou a chance to explain at all, Li Gang's voice of scolding sounded again.

In this case, Chu Mu still doesn't know that this He Ergou hit the muzzle of the gun.

Although I am quite interested in what He Ergou said, but tomorrow is the time to pay, listening to He Ergou's tone, how it is, after the salary, it is obviously clear.

The soles of his feet were oiled, and Chu Mu took a decisive step away.

This He Ergou has only met with him a few times, and he has no embarrassment.

Not to mention, this product even wants to borrow money from him......

Does he look like a rich man?

Chu Mu touched the banknotes in his arms, a thick pile, which also gave people an inexplicable sense of security.

If you have money in your pocket, you don't panic about anything.

But the conscience of heaven and earth, this money is all outright hard-earned money, which was exchanged for the life of the original owner's father, and he didn't dare to spend it at all!

Well?

In the midst of his thoughts, the corner of his eye seemed to notice something, but Chu Mu's gaze suddenly froze.

Corpse?

I saw that at the intersection of the same hill on the side of the canteen not far away, several corpses wrapped in straw mats were piled up together without shelter, and there were several inspectors on the side, obviously not taking the corpses seriously, and were chatting hotly.

"Five corpses ......"

Chu Mu glanced at the piled up corpses again, and couldn't help but silently recite this number in his heart.

"No, more than that!"

Soon, Chu Mu vetoed this number.

For no other reason, at the moment when he was observing, several more inspectors moved several corpses wrapped in straw mats.

Looking at the piled up corpses, Chu Mu inexplicably felt a chill down his spine.

Three conscripts died in the morning mine accident, and that was what he had seen with his own eyes.

But what about the others?

In one morning, more than a dozen conscripts died in this mine?

Are they all mining accidents?

"Shepherd boy, you are not righteous, leave me alone and slip away!"

At this moment, a hand suddenly put on Chu Mu's shoulder, and if it weren't for the sound immediately after, Chu Mu would have almost jumped up.

"Ho...... Brother Ho ......"

Chu Mu barely squeezed out a smile.

"What's wrong with you?"

He Ergou raised his eyebrows, and then followed Chu Mu's gaze, and the whole person suddenly jumped up: "Mom, where is this mine cave collapsed or what's the matter, why did so many people die!" ”
