"Mr. Governor, you have given too much, and we have given too little in return!" Even Marvin, who had accepted the fact that the Governor was the savior, could not help but feel panic again at this time, "You... we don't even pay for it even at the risk of our lives." Get up!"

They suspended taxes, provided food, and now they are giving them rich ores and machines...

The other miners also nodded. They really did not dare to accept any more gifts from the Governor.

Jiang Sui stood casually on a slope, looking at the grateful, confused and fearful faces in front of him, and sighed softly.

Since the last speech, the morale of the people has indeed improved a lot, but from an objective point of view, they do not understand the true meaning of the sentence "stand up, don't kneel".

They have gained dignity, but this dignity is strongly bound to Jiang Sui. As long as Jiang Sui leaves, they will return to their original living conditions.

People who can live in such a harsh environment are definitely not stupid.

But in terms of objective facts, they are primitive and backward - because they lack the knowledge to arm themselves.

Even industrial production in this land is incomplete. Things like paper, pen, books and writing that require a lot of money and time are destined to have nothing to do with ordinary people struggling on the line of life and death.

People who have to work hard to even survive, spend every penny on food, how can they have the energy to appreciate expensive words?

Therefore, it's not that Jiang Sui doesn't want to talk to them about some big principles, but the effectiveness of these big principles is far less than those things that are closely related to life.

Only when industrialization is completed, when paper, pens and knowledge are cheap enough that everyone can afford them, and when a complete education system is established, will the people's productivity be truly unleashed.

At this stage, the simplest and most direct benefits can directly hit people's hearts.

Jiang Sui did not use the robot guard's loudspeaker this time. He raised his voice slightly: "Quiet, everyone, listen to me!"

"You are not slaves, but workers. You work not for me, but for wages and food!"

"You work in the mine, and I pay you for your hard work. Those who work harder get more, fair trade, it's that simple. Now, stop talking nonsense and transport your belongings out quickly! The black mine can't be dug anymore. How much ore has arrived?”

After announcing the disbandment, the miners finally couldn't suppress the silence and began to discuss in low voices.

The Governor's words sounded very simple and reasonable.

Miners work hard and get paid and fed...

But when the Gerbil Gang was in power, not only did they not get paid after their work, they also had to hand over their belongings.

After working, you will be paid according to the workload. Is this also part of the "new world" described?

It's strange, but not repulsive.

For them who have not received any education, many of the things the governor said are too complicated, but one thing they can understand is that as long as they work hard in the future, they will get money.

The harder you work, the more you get!

With money, you can afford food, winter clothes and firewood...and you can pay taxes to the Governor!

The workers who figured this out were stunned for a moment, and then rushed back to the black mine.

"Hurry up and move things! Don't keep the Governor waiting."

"I have a lot of stuff, who can help me get it?"

"Give me a little bit, let me give a little bit..."

"..."

Just as Jiang Sui expected, only by stimulating subjective initiative can production efficiency and costs be reduced.

Seeing the miners rushing back to the black mine and the miners who were full of enthusiasm for their work, Gu Qinghuan was a little dazed for a moment - are these the same miners who feel pain when they hear about work and want to escape when they see the mine?

Jiang Sui jumped down from the slope, walked to the rusty iron gate of the black mine, and said to Marvin, who was still in a daze: "Marvin, within three days, make a list of the personnel in the black mine and send it to the governor. Come to the government."

Marvin did not expect that the distinguished Governor would take the initiative to talk to him. He was surprised and frightened: "Yes, yes. Mr. Governor... Mr. Governor, the environment in the black mine is very poor. You can rest outside for a while. We will be there soon." Finished moving!”

So many miners live in cramped spaces every day, with poor ventilation and heavy smoke...

What if the Governor's clothes are dirty?

How could a big shot from the sky come to a place like Black Mine?

Jiang Sui waved his hands nonchalantly, came to the entrance of the black mine, fiddled with a rusty iron box at the door that looked like a mailbox, and asked Mo Yu standing aside, "What is this? Let me introduce it."

Mo Yu had been looking at Jiang Sui with admiration from the beginning. When his name was called, he immediately stepped forward and replied: "Mr. Governor, this is the 'money box'. It used to be always near the black mine." If there will be robbers, we will throw some broken silver or copper coins outside through this box in the black mine, and the robbers will usually leave."

Jiang Sui opened the box curiously, took out a copper coin stuck in the corner and looked at it: "If you give me this little, the robbers won't come in and rob you?"

He didn't look like a robber, but like a beggar who came to ask for food.

Mo Yu scratched his messy hair: "Maybe it's because the black mine environment is complicated, and the robbers don't want to take too much risk of casualties. Moreover, if they use too many bullets, they may not be able to get their money back."

Returning to the source... Jiang Sui was obviously stunned for a moment. Even though he was more knowledgeable, he really didn't expect to get such a reply.

The people were so poor that they couldn't even recoup their losses even if the robbers fired a few more shots.

It's just ridiculous and ridiculous.

"In the future, if you encounter robbers or similar things again, don't pay silver or copper coins." Jiang Sui flicked the copper coins in his hand to Mo Yu and shook his head.

Mo Yu took the copper coins with both hands and stared with big eyes: "Mr. Governor, what should we do?"

Everyone in the entire black mine has great respect for Jiang Sui, the governor - they are grateful for the governor's kindness, but they are also afraid of his cruelty in their hearts.

But Mo Yu, who had known Jiang Sui in the beer hall, was not so afraid of him. She knew that the Governor was actually very kind and kind.

The Governor's majesty only targets bad people, and is very kind to others!

Jiang Sui smiled and took out the exquisite revolver on his waist, opened the magazine, took out a bullet and threw it into the "money box".

"Pay them 'iron money'."



While chatting, the miners in the black mine also took away their personal belongings one after another, looking extremely excited.

For them, there are only nightmares and pain in the black mines, without any memories worth cherishing.

But longing is longing, and the various tortures they experienced in the past still made them remain cautious, and they tried their best to carry everything they could eat, wear, and use with them.

"Mr. Governor, we can set off!"
