In addition to the conventional mines such as iron and copper, there are more than ten large and small spirit stone and pan-spirit stone veins in Jingxi that all belong to Fenghong Villa. The people working in these veins are not only those cultivated by Fenghong Villa themselves In addition to the miners, some low-level sects also rely on it to earn considerable practice resources.
Especially for some small spirit stone veins, the miners' positions are usually handed over. Fenghong Villa's own miners mainly focus on large and high-grade mineral veins.
Don't underestimate these miners who are busy in the mines and don't look very respectable. They mine spiritual stones and pan-spiritual stones. They are completely different from ordinary miners. Not only do they require a certain level of cultivation, , you need specialized skills to be competent.
So you don't have to be a miner just to have some cultivation, the threshold is not low. In fact, these low-level sects who are proficient in miners' skills are not having a hard time, and they can even grow stronger as they age. It’s just that the constraints of the mine are more obvious.
Especially since the great deacon surnamed Shen of Fenghong Villa came to the fore, the mines have become increasingly strict with miners. In the past, they could always conceal a little bit of their output, but who would dare to do this now?
Even in the two years since the accident involving the man named Shen, he was still closely watched, and the miner's business was not as easy as before.
Now that I heard that the man surnamed Shen is back, I don't even expect to change back to the loose way.
But just today, near noon, notices were posted at more than a dozen mines in Jingxi that all belong to Fenghong Villa. The first sentence on the head is to inform everyone that in the near future, the mines that are not Fenghong Villa will be targeted. The wages of some miners have been adjusted, and the overall increase is expected to range from 10% to 20%.
This caused the miners in various mines to explode. Fenghong Villa's own miners don't matter. They are disciples of the Villa. In terms of resources, they have always been allocated to the first and second-rate sects. They are much better off than the miners of the lower-level sects. There is no such thing as wages for them. , just to see the excitement.
But those miners who rely on their wages to obtain spiritual resources can be said to be ecstatic. A 10% increase is considered generous, but a 20% increase is an unprecedented first!
However, it can also be seen from the notice that the wage increase this time is not an immediate increase, but the word "to be" is used, which means "prepare to increase". But the specific rules were not stated clearly on the notice.
This made the miners from the lower-level sects who worked outside the mines to earn wages were anxious. One by one, they hurriedly went to Qianliyinyin to report the news to the sects, and with a smile on their face, they went to talk to the managers of the mines they were familiar with. , hoping to find out the specific method of this "wage increase".
There is no such thing as pie in the sky. This truth is very clear to the monks at the bottom. Fenghong Villa suddenly posted a notice asking for a wage increase, and the words were vague. There must be something to this.
Sure enough, the mine manager smiled and pointed to a new hut with a sign nearby, which read "Xuanqingwei Black Flag Camp Recruitment Office."
"Manager Chen, this is..."
"Haha, there is a huge shortage of people in the Xuanqing Guard recently, especially the monks in the middle realm of Qi Refining Realm, which makes everyone in the Xuanqing Guard anxious. You may also know that the current foreign affairs deacon of the villa, Deacon Shen, is Xuanqing. The commander of the Black Flag Camp of Wei, so under the orders of Lord Shen, a recruitment point was set up at the mine, hoping that some righteous people could join the Black Flag Camp and work together to create a stable living environment for the common people, and to recruit those who are The evil monks and evil spirits causing trouble will be eliminated."
"No, Manager Chen, does this have anything to do with our wage increase?"
"Tsk, someone who has no sense of justice at all deserves a raise in wages? Is your brain broken?"
"ah?"
This scene is repeated at all mine sites where notices are posted. Although it is not stated explicitly, it is basically equivalent to clarifying the threshold for a salary increase, and it is up to you whether you want it or not.
"What are you afraid of? After signing this employment agreement, you will be a guest monk of Black Flag Camp, and you will be hired for ten years! In these ten years, you will be a member of Black Flag Camp of Xuanqing Guard. Except for the preferential treatment in the mine, Black Flag Camp will His salary is also famously generous. In addition, according to the rules of the Black Flag Camp, the people under his command, whether they are children or relatives, belong to the protection scope of the Black Flag Camp. They belong to the Jingjiu Dynasty. Who can bully you?
Do not believe? If you don’t believe me, go and take a look at the Sanyuan Sect. It is located on the border of Jingxi. How many sects tried to cause harm in the beginning, but what was the result? The leading Tianchan Sect is still licking its wounds, let alone the other sects. You should weigh it yourself, there is no shop like this after passing this village..."
With the promise of huge profits to reassure them, and the addition of the Sanyuan Sect as a "nail" stuck in the borders of Jingxi, some people soon lost their composure.
When the first monk at the fifth level of the Qi Refining Realm walked into the hut with the signboard "Xuanqing Guard Black Flag Camp Recruitment Office", the mines became more and more lively. Of course, they don't know how many people will respond now. Instead, they are communicating with the sect in a hurry, weighing the gains and losses in detail, and planning how to respond to maximize their own benefits.
As for worrying about the pressure from above? Isn’t the Sanyuan Sect also doing well? Moreover, this time it is not against the upper-level sect, but just to increase wages. If there is anything that does not suit the upper-level sect, it would be embarrassing. Who asked Xuan Qingwei to give him real benefits?
The most important point is that everyone understands that after joining the Xuanqingwei Black Flag Camp, if there is any pressure, they will go to the Black Flag Camp first instead of them. If Black Flag Battalion can't handle it, they will push it out again.
At worst, it's just a wall for the time being. Is that a big deal?
The response to Black Flag recruitment in droves really began to emerge on the third day after the notice was posted. Basically, all the sects involved in the announcement chose to keep the original miner disciples and recruit other disciples within the sect to respond to the recruitment. In this way, they could not only benefit from the increase in wages, but also the salary from the Black Flag Camp. The advantage is that it also allows the disciples to gain some experience and experience some practical combat. As for the danger, everyone has to consider it themselves.
And why do we have to wait three full days? It's not that each sect really took three days to figure out all the details of this matter, but they wanted to see how the two largest sects in Jingxi would react.
As a result, the Tianchan Sect was as depressed as before after being severely punished. Even after hearing about what happened in the mine, they did not react at all. Guishan Seminary seemed to be unaware of this matter and had no special attitude to express it.
What does this mean? Is it the default? Or is it that Xuan Qingwei has already taken the lead in clearing the path between the two families?
With this guess, the people below naturally have less worries.
