"Why don't you hurry up for me, haven't you eaten?"
Liu Xing walked over from the gazebo not far away with his hands behind his back, and the leather whip in the hand of an overseer not far away crackled and exploded a whip flower in the air, accompanied by the low roar of the overseer, rippling in the crowd.
Dozens of numb-faced men, carrying a burden, were driven by whips to pick out the stones from the distant cave, and then, under the gaze of the overseer, emptied all the stones in the burden, and then walked back with some vain steps, during which one of them fell out of the ranks, choked on the ground and ate, which caused a burst of laughter from the overseers.
"This is not a full stomach" Liu Xing frowned and glanced at the figure who rushed into the team in embarrassment.
Someone around him hurriedly stepped forward: "Report to the chief manager, the daily rations are distributed in full according to the share set by the chief manager, but there are always some cheaters who are not satisfied with the share, and that is normal."
"Oh" Liu Xing sighed: "There are no dead people recently, right?"
"How can it, the chief manager's orders, the little ones are in mind, at most they are a hard lesson to these lazy people, and it will be okay to lie in bed for ten days and eight days, the dead man's thing is impossible, we also specially invited two Lang Zhong for them" The people around him said with a smile.
"That's good" Liu Xing nodded: "The young master's order, it's okay to find something for these people, but if there are too many dead people, then there is no way to explain it to General Lin, General Lin, you know, it is the young master's friend of life and death, and recently he has been promoted to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, that is, the master has seen it, and he is also a polite master."
The few people around him only said yes, and they didn't know if they really knew or were perfunctory.
This is a copper mine in Liyang County, Pingyue Prefecture, which was originally supervised by the imperial court, and even the imperial court also stationed officials here, but more than ten years ago, this copper mine was almost exhausted.
The people sent by the imperial court have also withdrawn, and this place has been deserted, but recently, it seems that this place has been favored again, and even a lot of people have been transferred to come to mine, and it has become lively again.
It stands to reason.
Pingyue Prefecture is geographically barren, but it is not a rich place.
There is such a copper mine, and the local government can't make any profits, not to mention anything else, at least the people who mine this mine have to eat and drink, and they can also make a certain contribution to the prosperity of the place, even when it is supervised by the imperial court, it is also like this, not to mention feeding the people of a county, at least.
Three or five villages near this copper mine can point to this copper mine alive.
However, this copper mine that has been sealed for a long time has been mined again, but there is no light at all in the place, who doesn't know that the current Pingyue Prefecture is surnamed Sun, and this copper mine has somehow become the industry of the second young master of the Sun family, and the local officials.
If you weren't confused, in this case, you should be worried that you will be beaten by Second Young Master Sun, instead of expecting to be wiped out from this copper mine, and say that here, this place is also a stomach full of bitter water.
Although Pingyue Prefecture is barren, there are always a few rich Zhuangzi in a county, and this second young master Sun has an industry here, and he is still a Zhuangzi with a lot of oil and water, for local officials.
This may not be a good thing, plus the second young master Sun directly allocated this copper mine to his village, the officials in this place, even if they are dissatisfied, they just wait to endure it, they don't know the current affairs, and they can't stay in this Pingyue Prefecture The officials in the county are not without thoughts, and even the county magistrate has planned to visit the second young master Sun in this Zhuangzi many times, and those who can be made to be officials in this poor and remote place by the imperial court either have no background at all, or they are degraded, who wants to die in this place, even if they can't expect to return to the court and have a good relationship with the local bigwigs, at least, during their tenure, life is a little better.
However, the second young master of the Sun family is really not ordinarily big, what they can see is just the Liu steward of the Sun family, the Liu steward is called Liu Xing, it is said that he is the henchman of the second young master of the Sun family, and he can speak in front of Sun Shenjiang, and the second young master Sun can't see it, if he can make friends with the influential figures of the Sun family, it is better than nothing.
Today is also the Liyang Zhixian banquet this Liu steward, after this feast, the county magistrate proposed to take a walk in this copper mine, after all, this copper mine re-mining, or break some profits, since the Sun family occupies the majority of this copper mine, but, there is no oil and water at all, there are still some complaints in this place, no matter how bad it is, you have recruited hundreds of young people in the local area to do it, and it can be regarded as a local official to seek some well-being for the people.
Qin Zhixian came for this matter, however, this Liu Steward directly brought him to this copper mine, he is still quite dissatisfied, no matter how good you Liu Xing is, he is just a subordinate of the Sun Mansion, and I Qin is a dignified court official, and he was born in the same Jinshi, so you are too bad to be an official of Zhixian County "Lord Zhixian saw it, the people here are not what adults think, they are all villagers recruited from other places, these people, even if I don't dare to slack off, even if a person dies, if my young master is to blame, I can't eat and walk around, Lord Zhixian must know that this mine or something, dead people are not dead, let's say it doesn't count at all, it depends on God's meaning "Actually, Manager Liu doesn't have to take Qin to go through this, if Manager Liu says it, wouldn't this official believe it" Qin Zhixian said with a smile, he really didn't believe it, but it was not interesting to say this at this time.
In the distance, a group of people approached, and there was a slight commotion in the flow of people carrying ore, but the commotion was quickly suppressed by the overseers.
A figure, running from afar, whispered a few words in Liu Xing's ear, Liu Xing nodded slightly, glanced at the group of people who seemed to be walking on all sides, and said with a smile to Qin Zhixian beside him: "I asked a good friend of the young master to come and take a look, I, as a subordinate, have to go and say hello, Qin Zhixian you" "Since he is a good friend of the second young master of the Sun family, he is naturally also a good friend of Qin, and he must be going to make friends" Qin Zhixian couldn't see whether it was a lie or a lie, he laughed, and said without any disapproval: "Unless, unless Manager Liu feels that Qin is a little out of the table, then Qin has to hide his face and leave."
"Then let's go together" Liu Xing smiled and said.
"Let's go, let's go together" Qin Zhixian laughed: "Second Young Master Sun is a dragon and phoenix among people, and the one he makes friends must be a handsome person for a while, Qin Mou is a person who likes to make friends, this opportunity will definitely not be missed" aa2705221 t1706231537:
