Seeing Feng Juan's startled look, Thirty-Two smiled secretly in his heart. This county magistrate still doesn't know how vast Daoxuan Tianzun's divine power is, and he really doesn't understand the strength of our Gaojiacun at all, so it's okay to just tease you.
He shook his head at the three fingers stretched out by Feng Juan: "Of course it can't be only three days, you underestimate me and wait too much.
Feng Juan: "Then... thirty days?
Thirty-Two continued to shake his head: "More than just!"
Feng Juan: “Three months?
Thirty-Two Smiles: "Why does Mr. Feng always think so stingy? Can't you be bolder and think more?"
Feng Juan took a deep breath and asked tentatively: "It won't be...three years, right?
Thirty-Two laughed loudly: "[Three Lives and Three Worlds].
Feng Juan: "!!!"
To be honest, he didn't quite believe this.
Thirty-two also knew that he would not believe it, so he smiled and said: "Master Feng actually doesn't need to think so much. Heyang County has already received rainfall from the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and it happens to be the spring plowing season. The crops have been planted and there is no need to use them at all." After three lives and three lifetimes, in just half a year, the food produced in Heyang County will be enough to support the people. By then, why do we, Gaojia Village, need to help you anymore?"
Feng Juan nodded, what he said made sense.
While he was talking, Jin Shuigou had already arrived.
This place is really close to the county seat, so we just walked and chatted. After leaving the county seat, we went up a hillside and turned into a small ravine. We arrived in a short time.
As we approached the coal mine, the entire ravine turned black. The mountain walls on both sides are all covered with black ore, and the originally loess official road at the foot has now turned black. This is probably because coal has been transported on this official road for a long time, and the fallen cinders have dyed the official road black. .
A shack appeared in front of them, a shabby shack made of branches and hay. Next to this shack was a large open-pit coal mine, and a large group of people as black as coal were working inside.
The environment here is not very good. Feng Juan glanced at Gao Yiye's car with a little worry and thought: This lady won't mind that this place is dirty, right?
Just when he thought of this, he saw the car curtain opened, and Gao Yiye jumped out of the car with a sudden movement. There was no trace of disgust on his face, but instead a look of excitement, and he ran away towards a group of coal diggers. Past: "Wow? So this is what coal mines look like?"
She actually asked a dark coal digger: "Uncle, how is coal made? Is it made by digging out the black stones and then using any special techniques?"
The coal digger was startled when he saw a "rich woman" running over to ask questions. He didn't know who she was, but he didn't dare to offend her. He quickly replied respectfully: "Mrs. Qi, the coal was dug out of the ground. It’s just coal, no more craftsmanship is needed.”
"Huh? It's that simple? Then I can dig it too?"
She squatted down, picked up a fist-sized piece of coal from the ground, and played with it in her hands. In a blink of an eye, her hands were all black, and her sleeves were dyed black: "When I was a child, I thought this thing was so expensive, so expensive. I can’t afford it, I didn’t expect it to be usable after digging it out of the ground, haha, I want to dig two pieces and go home to play.”
The coal digger sweated profusely: "Madam... I dug that piece of coal in your hand."
"I know, I won't rob you." Gao Yiye returned the coal in his hand to the man. He looked left and right. There was a pickaxe lying aside, no one was using it. She ran over quickly. He picked up the pickaxe and said, "Whose does this belong to? Lend it to me first."
This pickaxe belonged to a coal digger who was taking a break. How could he dare to refuse the rich man's request, so he could only respond feebly: "Ma'am, please use it as you like."
Gao Yiye jumped into the mine with an iron pickaxe. He hit a big black stone with the pickaxe. He only heard a "ding" sound and the iron pickaxe bounced away. Gao Yiye was shocked. She squatted down and fell down. Now her skirt was gone and it was dark and ugly.
She rubbed her hands that were numb from the shock: "Wow, digging this is not easy.
The coal digger smiled bitterly: "Madam, what you dug just now was not coal, but a very hard black stone. In fact, coal is not that hard.
Gao Yiye: "..."
The two secretaries Qiu Ju and Dong Xue ran over quickly, helped Gao Yiye and dragged him into the car: "Madam, it's dirty. You are all dirty. Get back to the car quickly and we will clean it up for you."
The three women returned to the car in the blink of an eye.
Feng Juan was stunned. What is going on? This eldest lady of the Li family, Lady Saint, turns out to be a naughty master.
Thirty-two: "Ahem! Mr. Feng, there is no need to worry, our eldest wife is still a little girl after all."
Feng Juan: "Ahem! Indeed! It's good for the little girl to be a little lively.
He cheered up. He came here today to do business. He took a few steps forward and stood in front of the mine. He loudly said to all the coal diggers: "Everyone, listen up. I am announcing that from today on, Jinshui The Gou Coal Mine is no longer under government management and has been contracted and used by the Li family in Gaojiacun. The girl just now is the eldest lady of the Li family. The person next to me is the third steward of the Li family. She is not ranked third, but her last name is Third, you will obey their orders from now on, do you understand?"
The coal diggers saluted in unison, their movements numb and stiff.
For them, there is no difference between digging coal for the government and digging coal for a certain big boss. Anyway, they are both bitter. Isn’t it equally bitter for whoever they work for?
Feng Juan: "Okay, now let the third manager come and have a few words with you."
He stepped aside and handed over the C position.
Thirty-Two walked to where Feng Juan was standing just now with a smile, and glanced at all the coal diggers. Seeing the lifeless look of this group of people, he didn't care at all. Years of life as a master made him very clear and What is the most important thing when dealing with working people at the bottom?
Just go ahead and blast it!
Thirty-two said: "From now on, if you work for my Li family, you will be a part of my Li family. The Li family never treats workers badly. Therefore, I announce that starting from this month, your monthly wages will be increased to three taels of silver." .”
As soon as these words were spoken, all the coal diggers froze at the same time, as if someone had hit their acupuncture points at the same time, making them unable to move.
In fact, not only were they stiff, but Feng Juan next to them was also stiff: Three taels of silver? Is the Li family crazy? These coal diggers are slave workers at the bottom of society. They were all captured by their ancestors after they lost the war and were engaged in this kind of work. They have been humbled by their ancestors for generations. If you come here, you will be directly paid three taels of silver per month. , which is almost the same as the income of ordinary people in Fuxian County, Jiangnan.
Unexpectedly, this is not over yet!
Thirty-Two added: "By the way, not only are you paid, but food is also included."
Only then did the coal digger scream out: "Ahhhh!*
