Chapter 49 Provocation
The next day, Qin Bai did not go to the mining area and stayed in Xiaohongling with Dong Chuan to take stock of the family's assets left by Niu Sanye.
"... Master Bai Er, if you squeeze in, you can live in this yard with more than 60 people. No matter how many people there are, it will definitely not be enough. The gentleman thought that he could renovate the stone house there, or build a few more houses next to the yard..."
"...The biggest problem of this village is that it is inconvenient to get water. I thought about letting the miners bring the streams there, but later, for some reason, there was no result. Maybe it was not far away, and on weekdays, it could also collect rainwater..."
"... Mr. Bai, this is the waste furnace you want to see. I heard that Niu San was there before, and it has been many years since then. But Mr. Er, don't be tempted. The student once heard Niu San say that Zhenwei issued an iron order: You must not smelify iron by yourself, nor transport ore by yourself, otherwise you will not be able to keep the chickens and dogs. Besides, the craftsmen who know how to smelify are all in the farm, and we can't smelify ourselves. However, Mr. Niu San thought about changing the furnace to burn charcoal, but later he felt that it was not worth it. Cutting trees and transporting them here would be better than mining. So he abandoned it like this..."
“…”
It can be seen that at that time, Mr. Niu San and his previous ones had "ambition" but in the end they were still following the trend. Especially after trying many side jobs, none of them succeeded in the end, they could only continue to mining helplessly.
However, there are still many remarkable points left. For example, the village is very good, the area is quite wide, and the internal structure is more reasonable, so it can be easily expanded and renovated. If the site where ore is piled in the village is removed, all other places can accommodate five or six hundred people.
Seeing Qin Bai's enthusiasm, Dong Chuan was a little worried: "Master Bai Er, if you continue like this, then you will spend money? Are you afraid of famine sooner or later?"
When we were together last night, Qin Bai once found Dong Chuan to calculate the accounts. Although the efficiency was greatly improved, the 200,000 kilograms of ore was only more than 100 taels. Because Qin Bai gave him too good benefits, three meals were not enough to count, he also required meat every five days and soy products the next day. In addition, he would not talk about the preparation for distribution of bedding and other daily necessities.
What is even more worrying is that the efficiency has indeed improved, but the He Mansion, which produces additional ore, does not have to be required. If not, it would be that mining for more than ten days, and work would have to be stopped on other days? There is also the "military expenses" of fighting. As long as there is a fight, the bounty and medicine expenses will be paid, and even a hundred taels of taels will not be guaranteed, and there will be losses.
Qin Bai smiled, not worrying Dong Chuan: "It's okay, I have my own arrangements."
In terms of relationship with Zhang Jiuyun, Qin Bai still doesn't want the conflict to intensify. In any case, the 200,000 kilograms per month is no longer a big problem. If the entire mining area can be built more perfectly and handed over to Zhang Jiuyun in full, it will be a good seller, and it will be easy for him to let him leave. Therefore, Qin Bai doesn't care much about making more money and making less money.
Of course, there was also a small hole here. Now, giving those subordinates high benefits and high incomes, it will be difficult to significantly reduce them in the future. At that time, Zhang Jiuyun could indeed make money, but he would definitely make a lot less. It would be a bit disgusting to Zhang Jiuyun.
...
In the mining area, all the people who were mining stopped their work, gathered together, and nervously stared at the people getting closer and closer to each other.
"Bastard, you are not afraid of death!" Xiaofeng shouted and rushed over with great momentum. Today, he led more than 20 people in Shanglin Village, all with guys, and did not even take the sixty ore dark people in front of him.
The manager arranged for today was Li Gan. He thought of Qin Bai's instructions before leaving, trying not to have friction and tolerate things first. So he shouted: "Brother, we are still a hundred steps away from the boundary stone, right?" Because he didn't want to cause trouble, the mining location was a little far from the junction.
"A boy with grass and mud horses, and a boy with no hair, which one of them came out of his crotch?" Xiaofeng had already rushed to Li Gan, only a few steps away from him before stopping. He raised the knife in his hand, "Did you hear it? Get out of grandpa!"
Seeing Xiaofeng staring at him fiercely, the people around him were waiting for his reaction. Li Gan hesitated for a while, but decided to tolerate it: "Let's go. Let's dig there."
Li Gan's morale was suddenly bleak, and the opponent was immediately refreshed and laughed and scolded. Xiao Feng's eyes lit up. He was just a test, but he didn't expect to meet a group of cowards. He still struck while the iron was hot and continued to provoke: "Did grandpa ask you to get out? Fuck! I dare to steal our mine, pay 200 taels first, and then get over and kowtow a few times to my grandpa! Hahaha!"
"Cao Ni Ni Ni." Li Gan turned around and pulled out the knife and rushed forward. Without saying a word, he stabbed Xiaofeng's thigh. After fighting a lot of fights with Qin Bai, Li Gan was not a person who was afraid of trouble. Moreover, his experience in recent days has been very atrocities, and Li Gan's heart has already accumulated a lot of depression. However, he still followed the habit of fighting in the city, only hurting people, and not greeting the vitals.
Li Gan's sudden action caught Xiaofeng off guard. He reluctantly took a step back and felt a pain in his thigh and a hole was cut. "The bastard is looking for death! Cut him!" Xiaofeng was furious and asked his subordinates to come forward together.
The battle between the two sides was very sudden, and many people had not yet reacted. However, Shanglin Village was prepared after all, and it took action faster. A few of them responded quickly to greet Li Gan.
On the contrary, many people on Xiaohongling were hesitating, and only Da Tuo shouted: "Brothers, come on——! There are many of us———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
But as a result, Li Gan was surrounded. After barely resisting for a few times, it was already hard to resist. Xiaofeng had already taken an iron stick from his subordinates and smashed it hard at Li Gan's head.
"Dare you!" At the critical moment, Qin Gao took action. He held the ring-headed knife obtained by Niu Sanye in his hand, blocked Xiaofeng's iron stick, and then swept left and right, forcing the people in Shanglin Village to get rid of them.
Although there were already two people, they were still very passive here, surrounded by people from Shanglin Village. At this moment, Zhuzi and Da Tuo and the blind man exchanged their eyes, and then shouted: "Do you all deserve the second master's money if you don't take the second master's money?"
