What kind of quarry is this? This is a proper coal mine!
And it’s open-air!
But looking at the expressions of Bai Xiaonan and Liu Zi next to them, it seemed that they didn't think there was anything wrong with calling this place a quarry.
So Xie Yu knelt down, picked up a piece of coal and asked, "What is this?"
Liu Zi said: "Charcoal!"
"So this place where coal is quarried is called a quarry?"
"Is there anything wrong?"
Bai Xiaonan and Liu Zi both looked at Xie Yu with puzzled expressions.
Xie Yu sighed and said nothing.
There is a communication problem...
"Let's go!"
Xie Yu threw away the charcoal in his hand, clapped his hands and turned around to walk back.
Liu Zi was a little confused and asked, "What? You're not looking for Zheng Laohu anymore?"
Xie Yu said: "You still have to look for it, but you have to change the way. Whether our village can develop and grow in the future depends on Zheng Laohu!"
"What's the meaning?"
Liu Zi and Bai Xiaonan looked at each other with doubts on their faces.
Xie Yu didn't explain much. He just rode his horse and led the way.
Seeing Xie Yu turning around and getting ready to go up to Huzui Mountain, Liuzi couldn't help but asked: "Mr. Xie, are we still going to Huzui Mountain?"
Xie Yu said yes.
Liuzi asked again if he wanted to go back and call someone over first.
Xie Yu said no need.
"Don't always think about fighting and killing. Come to them this time to negotiate a business. Besides, after yesterday's battle, these people are probably scared out of their wits. They don't dare to do anything."
As Xie Yu said, when he, Bai Xiaonan, and Liuzi appeared at the gate of Huzui Mountain, the two mountain bandits who were guarding the gate were so frightened that they dropped their knives.
In other words, they were afraid that Xie Yu would misunderstand, so they took the initiative to throw it away.
Then one person opened the village door honestly, and the other person turned around and went to call people in the village.
While running, he shouted: "The God of Death is coming..."
Xie Yu suddenly had a dark look on his face.
In less than half a stick of incense, Chao Rong, who was promoted to the new head of Huzuishan as a substitute, arrived with his people.
When he saw Xie Yu, Chao Rong forced a "kind" smile on his face that was full of flesh and blood.
"Killing... is wrong!" Chao Rong twitched his mouth and said again: "Grandpa, why are you here again? You didn't say hello in advance so that I could go down the mountain to pick you up..."
As for Bai Xiaonan and Liu Zi who were following Xie Yu, they had been completely ignored by Chao Rong.
Xie Yu smiled and didn't care about the other party calling him the God of Killing.
"I'm here to help you Huzuishan!"
"Help?" Chao Rong blinked, and finally said with some panic, "Grandpa, what's the matter that you need our help for? You are so flattering to us..."
"Stop shouting grandpa, grandpa! Just call me Mr. Xie." Xie Yu corrected the other person's title and continued, "You are the only one who can help me with this. I need you to help me and that Zheng Please contact Yi!"
"Just say that I want to talk to him about a business deal!"
"Discussing business?" Chao Rong hesitated, and finally asked with an embarrassed look, "Mr. Xie, could it be that... you want to buy his life?"
It's not like they haven't discussed the life-buying business with others before.
But Chao Rong was really embarrassed to help Xie Yu buy Zheng Laohu's life.
After all, there is still some friendship between Huzuishan and Zheng Laohu, otherwise they would not agree to help rob the Yu family's railway convoy...
Xie Yu smiled, shook his head and said: "Don't worry, it's not life-threatening! It's just ordinary business. If you are worried, or he is worried, you can set the location in your village. As for the time... three days later, is that OK?"
When Xie Yu asked this question, he really had a discussion attitude and his tone was very sincere.
But when Chao Rong heard Xie Yu's words, he instantly remembered what happened to Liu Hong after he was questioned yesterday!
Chao Rong felt that if there was a problem, a blood hole would appear on his forehead the next moment.
So Chao Rong nodded hurriedly, patted his chest and promised: "No problem! Don't worry, Mr. Xie, he will be here in three days. If Zheng Laohu dares to come, I will tie him up and take him to the village!"
Xie Yu went down the mountain very satisfied.
Returning to Baishi Village, Xie Yu found Sun Carpenter and Liu Tiejiang, the "chief technical engineers" of Baishi Village, and asked about the learning situation of the newcomers in the village during this period.
After Li Daniu and others settled down in the village, Xie Yu arranged for them to learn skills from Carpenter Sun and Blacksmith Liu.
Mainly learning how to make arrowheads, arrows, two-stone bows and compound crossbow spare parts.
The two craftsmen said that these newcomers are very good at doing physical work! One is more willing to work harder than the other.
Making arrowheads and arrow shafts with simple craftsmanship is not a big problem!
It’s just that when it comes to making complex crossbow spare parts, my brain is not very bright!
Look at the suffocated expressions on the faces of the two craftsmen when they commented that "their brains are not very bright." Xie Yu knew that their true evaluation of people like Li Daniu would never be any higher than "stupid pigs and stupid cows"!
But this is no wonder Li Daniu and the others.
Xie Yu could only comfort the two chief engineers and said: "Take your time and be patient. I don't require them all to learn 'embroidery'. I just hope that when you teach them, you can find a few talented seedlings!"
"After all, there are too few craftsmen in our village. As for other people, it would be good if they can learn how to make arrowheads. At the very least... our village doesn't have to worry about the consumption of arrows, right?"
Xie Yu's words to appease the two chief engineers were also heard by Bai Xiaonan.
Before going to bed in the evening, Bai Xiaonan asked Xie Yudao: "Isn't it a bit worth the loss? The more than 300 new people can really help, not even half of them!"
"This means that we have raised more than 200 idle people in vain..."
Xie Yu asked with a smile: "What? Are you worried about the food?"
"That's not true!" Bai Xiaonan looked at Xie Yu's expression and finally told the truth, "I'm just afraid that they will be under great pressure! Haven't you noticed that after so long, people like Li Daniu have never been able to integrate into the old people in our village?"
"It seems... they also know that they have brought a bunch of idle people who only know how to eat."
Xie Yu shook his head: "Don't worry, just because they have nothing to do now doesn't mean they have nothing to do in the future. When the matter with Zheng Laohu is settled, these people will not be able to stay idle!"
"When the time comes, I'm afraid there won't be enough people!"
"Is it Zheng Laohu again?" Bai Xiaonan frowned and asked with a puzzled look, "What kind of business do you want to discuss with Zheng Laohu?"
"Is it possible that you want to buy his charcoal? That thing seems to have no use other than making fire, right?"
"If we really want to make a fire, we have so much firewood on the mountain that we can't even cut it all. Why spend that wasted money?"
Xie Yu smiled and said: "You will know then."
Three days later, Xie Yu led another fifty people to Huzui Mountain again.
People's hearts are unpredictable, so Xie Yu had to guard against the opponent.
Seeing that Xie Yu had brought this "God of Killing" team again, Chao Rong was so frightened that his liver trembled.
He was afraid that any small move he made would cause Xie Yu to misunderstand, so before Xie Yu and others entered the village, he asked his men to throw all the knives to the ground.
Then Chao Rong opened the gate of the village, came forward personally, and led Xie Yu's horse.
Chao Rong showed Xie Yu that he was willing to be Xie Yu's pawn to be driven by Xie Yu.
Standing in the stockade was a short, fat, middle-aged man dressed like a member of the Communist Party of China, looking at this scene in shock.
