Zhao Xuanyi looked at the entire basin. After eating the food, this group of people seemed to be sleeping on the ground. There were no quilts or mattresses. Fortunately, it was not winter, otherwise these people would freeze to death!
"Of course, you can go to the cave to rest, no one will care!" Yang Huai said. Zhao Xuanyi nodded
"Thank you!" After saying that, he came to Shen Wei's side and shook his head into the cave. The two of them lifted Tang Tianli into the cave and found a flat place for Tang Tianli to have a good rest!
Shen Wei looked around and saw no one else, so Shen Wei said
"Young Master, what should we do now?"
"What do you think?" Zhao Xuanyi asked softly.
"This place seems to be in the wilderness. I don't know where exactly it is, but if the young master wants to leave, I can take you away. With these guards, it's not a problem for me to kill a thousand!" Zhao Xuanyi shook his head.
"We haven't figured it out yet, so don't mess around yet. People here obviously want to dig for gold, but haven't gold and silver mines always belonged to the royal family?"
"They must be mining gold privately, that's why they do this! And no one who comes in can get out alive!" Shen Wei said.
Zhao Xuanyi nodded
"Let's wait a few days until Tang Tianli is almost injured before we talk!"
"Okay!" Shen Wei doesn't care, as long as Zhao Xuanyi is fine! Zhao Xuanyi took out a steamed bun and gave it to Shen Wei, but Shen Wei didn't take it after looking at it.
"Young Master, how many more do you have?"
"There are two more in total. You can eat one and give the other to Tang Tianli when he wakes up!"
"You go ahead and eat, you haven't eaten anything this day!"
"I can't eat any more! Hurry up and grab more food when dinner starts tomorrow!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes! You'd better keep it! Don't let others find out!" Zhao Xuanyi put the pillow in his arms again, then sat on the ground, thinking about what the hell he was doing?
Isn’t life good with a high bed and soft pillows? You have to come here and suffer! So sick! The pain in his back told Zhao Xuanyi that none of this was fake. He couldn't sit still and wait for death, otherwise he would starve to death in a few days!
But now I don’t know the rules here, so I’m not in the mood to care about anything else. Let’s take a look first!
Zhao Xuanyi fell asleep in a daze. He felt like he had just dozed off when he heard someone shouting
"Get up, it's already dawn, get up and work, you're all lazy, don't you want to eat?" There was a sound of whips waving in the sound of shouting and cursing.
Zhao Xuanyi woke up in a hurry and saw everyone rushing into the cave with tools in hand and working continuously!
Zhao Xuanyi looked at Tang Tianli beside him. Tang Tianli had already stood up. Although his expression had not returned, at least his body was fine!
Zhao Xuanyi gave Tang Tianli and Shen Wei a look, and the two began to work. Now it seemed that they couldn't be too conspicuous here. Even Tang Tianli's strong body was knocked down, let alone others?
Zhao Xuanyi came to Yang Huai with tools, took out a steamed bun from his arms, and put it directly in Yang Huai's hand. When Yang Huai saw it, his eyes almost popped out, and he hurriedly took it and put it in his arms.
"Brother, are you crazy? Don't let others see this kind of thing, otherwise you will get into trouble!" Zhao Xuanyi smiled while waving the pickaxe
"I just came here and I don't understand the rules here. I want to ask, what is the situation here?" Yang Huai smiled and looked around. The guard didn't seem to be nearby.
"Our place is called the Golden Palace. As the name suggests, it is a palace for gold mining. But as you can see, this place is a hell on earth!"
"Why did you all come in?"
"Come in? Where do you want to go? There are more than 1,300 people here, all captured from some remote villages. Didn't you see there are children? The whole village is carrying them! No one can run away! Come here There's only one way out!"
"what way?"
"Dead, be carried out!" When Zhao Xuanyi heard this, he thought this was simply taking human life lightly! They are so lawless. They go to some villages to rob people, and then start to squeeze them into working without paying them. They also beat people and deny them food!
"I see there are dozens of big buckets when we share the meal. Are there any rules?" Zhao Xuanyi continued to ask.
"What are the rules? We have a total of twelve teams here. Every time we distribute, whoever has more goods will give more to that team!"
"But I didn't see anyone digging for gold yesterday?" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"No, the amount of goods here does not only refer to gold, but how many taels of gold can be dug out every day. Most of them dig out dozens of taels of aventurine. On the other hand, it depends on which team dug out If there is a lot of earth and rocks, and more earth and rocks are dug, it means that this team is working seriously, and when it is time to give food, they will give a lot more!" Zhao Xuanyi understood, the more you do, the more you give. This method is very popular among this group of people who are about to starve to death. He is most useful in front of hungry people. The commander here is very smart. He knows what people need most. If you give steamed buns to hungry people in exchange for what you want!
In the desert, you can get what you need by taking out water. In the face of life and death, you can get what you need by taking out a knife. Zhao Xuanyi sighed. If he wants to do something else, he must first ensure that he survives!
And the way to survive is to have food! Zhao Xuanyi looked around. A group of people were digging the ground, while Tang Tianli and Shen Wei were constantly lifting earth and rocks outside. Zhao Xuanyi rolled his eyes and suddenly had a plan.
"Yang Huai, do you want to be full?" Zhao Xuanyi asked. Yang Huai smiled
"To tell you the truth, I haven't had enough to eat for more than half a year! What? Do you have any ideas?"
"As long as you follow what I say, I guarantee that you will have enough to eat at noon today!" Zhao Xuanyi said. When Yang Huai heard this, he became energetic.
"any solution?"
"First of all, you first call everyone, that is, all of our team, and just say one thing, if you want to eat, come here first, I have a way to ensure that everyone will be full at noon today!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Are you serious? This is no joke!" Yang Huai said with some fear.
"Go quickly, who has time to joke!" Zhao Xuanyi said with confidence. Yang Huai gritted his teeth
"Okay, I believe you for once!" Then put down the tools in his hands
"Hey, everyone from the seventh team, come here. Anyone who wants to eat!" Tang Tianli and Shen Wei also came over.
"Young Master, what do you mean?"
"Listen to me and find everyone in this team. Anyone who wants to eat can come over and have a meeting! Go quickly!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Yes!" These two people were Zhao Xuanyi's confidants, so they naturally helped. As soon as the three people shouted, it didn't take long for more than a hundred people to come over. Everyone gathered in a circle around Zhao Xuanyi. Everyone kept talking and didn't know why. What's going on, is there still a chance to eat?
"Quiet, everyone, be quiet!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted, and everyone became quiet! Before Zhao Xuanyi could say anything, he saw several men running over with whips.
"What are you doing? Why don't you work? Don't you want to eat?" Zhao Xuanyi smiled.
"Brothers, don't get me wrong. We not only want to eat, we also want to be full. I'll say a few words here and start working in a while. Also, tell the people above that today our seventh team will definitely have the highest labor force. Yes, give us more for lunch!”
"What did you say?" The man waited angrily for Zhao Xuanyi! Tang Tianli walked out of the crowd and stood in front of the man
"What? Do you have any objections?" When the man saw Tang Tianli, he took a few steps back in fright. Are you kidding me? This guy beat a man to death yesterday.
"What are you going to do? Do you want to be beaten again?" the man said with fear in his eyes. Tang Tianli smiled coldly
"I'm just going to beat you to death in exchange for a whip. What do you think? Want to give it a try?"
"You...?" The so-called stunned, fearful and fearful man, no one expected that he would meet such a master. The man was so angry that he did not dare to speak and stood quietly aside!
Zhao Xuanyi ignored this and continued.
"I know everyone is hungry, but if you want to eat, everyone should follow my instructions, so that we can have enough at noon, do you hear me?" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
More than a hundred people looked at each other and couldn't help but whisper.
"Why should we trust you? What guarantee do you have?"
"That's right! Who do you think you are? Why are you commanding us?"
"Yes! Who are you?" Everyone immediately made a voice of dissatisfaction, but this was all within Zhao Xuanyi's expectation!
Zhao Xuanyi waved his hand
"Listen to me, just believe me this time. If it works, everyone will have enough to eat at noon today. If it doesn't work, it's just a waste of time in the morning. How can you do better? You're not eating the same food. Not full?" When everyone heard this, they all stopped talking and lowered their heads. Yes, what else could they do in the cage of this mountain?
Everyone was silent! Zhao Xuanyi nodded
"Okay! Now everyone listen to my command, all men over twenty and under forty come out!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
Out of a hundred people, more than sixty came out! Zhao Xuanyi nodded after seeing it
"All women, come out!" Twenty women came out after hearing the words, and the rest were all older people, and there were a dozen children!
Zhao Xuanyi began to direct
"Tang Tianli, you lead fifty people in front to dig for gold. All the young men should follow him!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
Tang Tianli picked up an iron pickaxe and waved his hand
"You guys, come with me! Hurry!" These men have no choice, and they are afraid of Tang Tianli. This guy beats people!
All the men picked up their pickaxes and shovels and followed Tang Tianli!
"The remaining women and men line up in a row from outside the cave to the innermost part of the cave. One person stands two steps apart, and the older ones also stand with them. There are two rows in total. You are responsible for The bamboo basket moves outward!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Sports? Aren't there two people carrying it?" asked a woman with a face covered in mud. Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly explained, holding a diabolo basket and began to give instructions
"You don't have to walk. You pass the bamboo basket filled with soil to the next person in line, and she gives it to the next person in line! Do you understand?" Only then did everyone understand, but the older man asked
"What about us?"
"You are responsible for transporting back the diabolo baskets that have been shipped out. This will form two transportation lines. The young ones will transport the filled ones, and the rest of the elderly will transport back the empty ones! Do you understand?" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Understood!" This is the first time for everyone to encounter this way of working!
"Yang Huai, I leave this to you! We must keep the transportation line intact!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted.
"Don't worry, brother, leave it to me!" Yang Huai shouted with a smile. He looked more and more presentable!
"Then... what are we going to do?" A dozen teenage children ran over and asked.
"Oh, your work is very important. You go to fetch water in buckets and keep bringing fresh water. You must make sure that everyone is not thirsty and provide water. Do you understand?" Zhao Xuanyi asked.
"Got it!" a group of children shouted.
"Go quickly!" Zhao Xuanyi touched the child's hair.
"Yes!" A dozen children ran away and went to fetch water with buckets!
"Come on, come on... let's start working!" Tang Tianli shouted, and he led fifty young men to start digging for gold!
Someone in the back kept transporting bamboo baskets filled with earth and rocks, and everyone carried them out one after another.
The poured out diabolo baskets are then transported back by some older people. The entire transportation chain is formed very quickly. Everyone has a clear division of labor and each performs his or her duties. The work efficiency is instantly increased several times!
Zhao Xuanyi and Shen Wei walked back and forth among the crowd digging for gold. If they dug out enough gold or aventurine, they collected it. This was hard currency in exchange for food!
