"Captain, what's wrong?"
"Why did you call us here?"
The patrol inspectors all spoke out.
"In a few days, someone from above will come to inspect our mine!"
"I heard it's a big deal. Please take care of yourself and don't cause any problems."
After saying a few words, Li Gang waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave, looking obviously impatient.
Everyone is used to Li Gang's appearance. After all, some people are happy about the expansion of the inspection station, and others are naturally worried.
And Li Gang is undoubtedly the worried one.
Chu Mu didn't care at all. Of the dozen or so inspections present, he was probably the cleanest.
After spending dozens of days in the inspection station, he only studied and practiced martial arts. No matter who came to inspect, it had no impact on him.
The only illegal thing is to receive a double salary once, but the possibility of being investigated for this kind of thing is too small. Even if it is investigated, it involves more than a thousand people with official status in Qinghe County. Among them, he is too Insignificant.
"Why are you here for inspection?"
"Nothing seems to have happened to our mine in recent days, right?"
"Isn't there a mining accident a few days ago? Isn't it a matter of dozens of lives?"
"What kind of thing is this? In our mine, what year has there been no mining accidents?"
"When did you see the superiors come to check on us because of the mining accident?"
"The master above only cares about this mine."
"By the way, Qianhu doesn't take people around all day long these days, digging here and looking there..."
"Right now, there are rumors that a treasure has been discovered in our mine. Do you think it has something to do with it?"
Several inspectors chatted with each other, while Chu Mu followed silently without saying a word.
Naturally, he had heard about the treasure a long time ago, but since the three of them became tigers and everyone else said what they said, few people probably knew the details.
But there is no doubt that he is definitely looking for something, and it is in this mine.
Otherwise, people like the county lieutenant and deputy Qianhu of the inspection station would spend time in this mine every day.
Chu Mu didn't care much about the so-called treasure. After all, even if there was a treasure, it would never be his turn.
They were walking leisurely and chatting, and all the inspections were going back to their respective places.
Chu Mu still sat down under the tree unshakable, with a bonfire lit in front of him to keep warm. He picked up the book and read it for a moment. Chu Mu seemed to have thought of something, but suddenly he was startled.
If he remembered correctly, the county issued an order to increase the mine's production, and then increased the corvee.
Immediately afterwards, Deputy Qianhu led people around the mine, looking for something.
Now, suddenly a big shot comes to inspect...
These things... seem to be connected together?
In other words, it was because we were looking for something that we issued orders to increase mine production and increase corvee labor, and that’s why big shots came to inspect the mines...
Chu Mu silently pondered this possibility. As far as he knew, the Nanshan Iron Mine had been mining for so many years, but the mining volume had been set at the beginning of the year, and there had never been any requests to increase production midway.
This seems to be connected with his guess.
Chu Mu glanced at the laborers working not far away, but he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, what is worth such a big fight?
Unable to think of a reason, Chu Mu didn't bother to use up his brain cells. He moved his eyes and turned to the book in his hand again.
It was not the enlightenment book that was about to be turned out, nor was it the history book of Nanshan Wild Chronicles, but a travel note that Chu Mu found in a bookstore a few days ago.
The content is probably based on the experiences of a wealthy scholar who traveled to various places.
Although most of them are descriptions of scenery, the wide range of travels has also given Chu Mu a lot of knowledge, so that he will not be blind to the outside of Nanshan Town.
Judging from this travelogue, it is obvious that the current world of Chu can still be regarded as peaceful.
Qinghe County is obviously just a special case.
After all, it’s not like there’s a mine to be mined everywhere.
And, most importantly, food is the most important thing for people.
Throughout the past thousands of years, the world has been in chaos. Basically, it was due to various reasons that made it difficult for the people to survive, and this was the basis of the chaos.
In this era, Chu Mu estimates that this problem should be relatively difficult to arise.
After all, food is too cheap.
Just a few days ago, Chu Mu learned that rice in this era is actually a drought-tolerant crop. It can be planted on any piece of land and can survive with some care.
The most important thing is that the yield is not low at all. On average, the yield per mu is as high as thirty stone, which is three thousand kilograms in the previous life!
And it’s not just rice, it’s also true for other crops, which are easy to feed and have frighteningly high yields.
Such a high yield of food naturally brings extremely cheap food.
No matter how exploited and exploited, it should not be difficult to eat enough with such cheap and high-yielding food.
In this era, how many people would risk beheading to rebel unless they really couldn't survive?
Under such circumstances, how could the world be so uneven?
It is precisely because of knowing this that Chu Mu becomes more and more interested in his own martial arts.
Even vaguely, the purpose of his martial arts practice has changed from self-defense to self-defense!
It’s chaotic and scary, but it’s also an opportunity.
After all, the world is stable and the general trend is irreversible.
Even if there is chaos in Qinghe County, it will only be a short-term chaos. In the face of the general trend of stability in the world, peace will soon be restored.
The three civil riots recorded in the Nanshan Wilderness clearly illustrate this point.
The most serious one only swept through Nanshan Town, but it was suppressed by Thunder in less than a month.
He has mastered martial arts and is wearing this patrol leather. It's really a mess. Maybe it's just a chance...
Chu Mu's eyes flickered, and he seemed to be inexplicably excited.
It seems... after participating in the lob formation yesterday, his mentality has completely changed.
Does he even have some yearning for it?
Chu Mu pursed his lips, silently suppressing the inexplicable excitement in his heart, and slowly stood up, pacing around the area.
As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes.
After experiencing three civil riots, Qinghe County seems to have become wiser three times.
If this is the source of the mine, it will be harsh in all aspects.
Each inspection team is responsible for an area and is then subdivided into people.
The same is true when it falls on corvees.
Each corvée is subdivided into each area and inspected.
Just like the place where Chu Mu was guarding, he was responsible for six corvees.
The work of these corvees is also very simple, just carrying mineral materials.
The mineral materials mined from the mines are transported from area to area. The area he is responsible for is just a part of it.
Although such management will reduce the overall working efficiency of the mine, it is obvious that the management of corvee labor is undoubtedly extremely effective.
Moreover, Chu Mu knew that there were nearly a hundred armed inspectors on standby at all times in the barracks next to the mine canteen.
Its purpose is obviously very clear...
