Chapter VIII The Two Prisoners

At the end of the first year, after a month of continuous mining, the output of Mine No. 1 finally stabilized at around fifty spiritual stones per day, and its annual production capacity was also determined to be eighteen thousand.

This number refers to production capacity, which is actually very difficult to achieve. If you want to achieve this production, you must ensure that mining in Pit No. 1 cannot be stopped midway. In fact, this is very difficult to achieve.

But more than 16,000 yuan is guaranteed, and this number has exceeded Gu Zuo's expectations.

In the first month of spiritual stone mining, Huaixian Pavilion received one thousand two hundred and sixty spiritual stones, but Gu Zuo did not move this amount of spiritual stones. He discussed it with the original Taoist priest, and at the end of each year, the two hundred and sixty spiritual stones turned in would be deducted.

The dividends will be distributed after 15,000 spiritual stones.

Gu Zuo is a little anxious now. He is waiting for the convict coolies sent by the Justice Department of Heishan County to Nanwu Prefecture. Without this batch of coolies, it will be difficult to lower the pole in the second mine.

Fortunately, hard work paid off. On the first day of February, Su San finally arrived in Nanwu Prefecture with the prisoner Gu Zuo had been waiting for for a long time.

The prisoners were escorted by twelve Dharma monks, who were basically members of the Censing Division. They were escorting thirty-two prisoners.

The head of the legal department showed the handover document to Gu Zuo, and Gu Zuo took it, signed it, signed it, and returned it to the head, and the handover was completed.

In addition to the documents, there is of course a stack of lists, one for each offender, which details the names, cultivation levels, crimes committed, etc. There is also a vivid portrait on the resume.

Among these thirty-two prisoners, there were five Ji Zhu, eighteen Qi Practitioners, and nine martial arts masters. According to the agreement between Gu Zuo and Chen Mazi who joined the army that day, they were all prisoners with minor crimes, and most of them were in Nanzhao.

Have family.

Since the charges are not serious, they can usually be released after being detained for a few years. In addition, each has a family, so the cost of escape is too high. Serving the sentence honestly is the best option. For Gu Zuo, who lacks manpower to guard,

It is easy to manage. Therefore, most of them do not take Fengling Pill.

In addition, Gu Zuo also has a little thought. He hopes that these people will try their best to consider staying after the expiration of their "exile" period. It is best to bring their family members over to enrich the population of Southern Wu Prefecture. Therefore, those who are involved in serious crimes will

, He doesn’t want anyone who is murderous or cruel.

Chen Mazi was so late just to screen the prisoners according to his requirements. The exile to Nanwu Prefecture has become a hot topic in the Black Mountain Imperial Court recently.

For such a group of people, the compensation that Gu Zuo needs to pay to the Justice Department at the end of this year is 1,200 yuan, which is expensive.

Among this group of prisoners, the highest was "three years' probation" and the youngest was "one year's probation". To Gu Zuo's surprise, Chen Mazi seemed to be very aware of his intention to enrich the population of Southern Wu Prefecture.

When he was a prisoner, he specially approved seven female prisoners, which made Gu Zuo very grateful to Chen Mazi. He treated the squad leader and others who escorted the prisoners very warmly and thoughtfully. Before leaving, he also gave each of them a small wooden box with exquisite workmanship.

A local specialty of Southern Wuzhou - three spiritual stones.

In addition to these prisoners, there are also six Qi-refining monks and nine martial arts masters recruited by Su San in Heishan County, as well as their families. If the Pingtai Villa planting base is included, the total population of South Wu Prefecture has exceeded two in one fell swoop.

Hundreds of people, including sixty monks.

Su San reported to Gu Zuo: "Master, the news released at the Spring and Autumn Pawn Shop this time was carried out according to the steps you arranged. After the news that the first mine successfully produced spiritual stones was released, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Spring and Autumn Pawn Shop just

When we opened the door, the stock price of our Hengling International rose back to 1,000 yuan. I waited for five days and then released the news that the annual output of a single pit exceeded 10,000 yuan. The stock price immediately returned to 1,500 yuan. Unfortunately, I ran out of time.

, we can only sell 10,000 shares at this price. Before we set off, the stock price was 1,680 yuan, which is really a pity..."

Although the Lingshi vein does not belong to Hengling International, it does belong to Huaixianguan. Nanwuzhou and Hengling International are closely related industries. When this news is released, the stock price of Hengling International will inevitably rise.

Gu Zuodao: "Don't think it's a pity. If it really goes back to two thousand yuan, it will be dangerous. Maybe the first one to sell won't be you, but the Lishui faction. The price of one thousand five hundred or six hundred yuan is just right. It's stuck."

Two-thirds of the Lishui School's stock cost is the most appropriate since they are reluctant to cut the flesh."

After selling 10,000 shares, the proceeds were 15,000 guan, which Huaixian Guan was waiting for urgent use.

According to the arrangement in the letter of the Guardian, this money is mainly used in three areas:

The first is to pay the prisoners' fees for the first year, totaling 1,200 guilds.

Then he purchased a hundred stones of grain, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and other supplies, as well as a large amount of cloth, totaling five hundred guans.

After that, a large amount of medicinal materials were purchased for refining the Baojing Pills. The Baojing Pills were stopped for more than a month. If the work was not started, it would be difficult to fulfill the promise to the shareholders. This part was worth 600 yuan.

Finally, I went to the Spring and Autumn Pawn Shop to take a picture of a large-scale storage magic weapon - the Golden Spirit Lock, totaling 6,800 pieces! This magic weapon is a top-notch magic weapon, and it is one of the treasures of the Spring and Autumn Pawn Shop.

Compressed inside is a large storage space measuring three feet in length, width and height, which is equivalent to four hundred times the size of Gu Zuo's storage ring!

Almost all the supplies Su San purchased were shipped back with this golden spirit lock.

Putting the Golden Spirit Lock in his palm, Gu Zuo looked into it with his spiritual consciousness. It was filled with a large amount of supplies bought by Su San. With this batch of supplies, eating, drinking and urinating in Southern Wu Prefecture would not be a problem for at least half a year.

There were still 5,900 guan flying tickets left. Gu Zuo gave 300 guan to Su San for Gengjin Mountain to use in emergencies, and kept the remaining 5,600 guan with him. He now has every

A large amount of salary has to be paid every month, which puts great pressure on spending money.

After sending Su San and the law division leaders away, Gu Zuo began to allocate manpower.

The five aboriginal monks still maintained their respective duties, and were responsible for cultivating medicine gardens, spiritual fields, and mining refined iron. They assigned the newly recruited family members to their hands, and they gathered a hundred people.

Sister-in-law Liu and Li Gusheng's family are responsible for cooking and washing the people on the Lingshi Mine site, and are also responsible for cleaning the south courtyard.

Sixteen planting experts from Pingtai Villa went to the designated valley bottom to open up new fields and plant Yuanyang grass.

The monks from Pingtai Villa will continue to be recruited for free. Thirty-two monks, led by Butcher, Taoist Priest Lingyuan and Deacon, are divided into two teams and are responsible for controlling the Three-Yuan Jishen Formation, the Mining Array and the Condensing Array.

The remaining monks and warriors were divided into four teams to go down to the pit. Two of them went to the next mine, while the other two teams were freed up. Excavation in the second pit could finally begin.

Before digging the No. 2 pit, Gu Zuo took time to meet with two special figures among this group of prisoners.

Liu Xuanji and Jia Gui.

Liu Xuanji is an old acquaintance of Gu Zuo, one of the indirect promoters behind the civet cat incident in Shanyin County, and the direct promoter of Miss Shen's escape case from Kuo Cang's faction. He has a special affinity with Gu Zuo.

Jia Guize was one of the victims of the Crystal Palace Incident in Lishui County. He was Gu Zuo's classmate in prison. When Gu Zuo needed money the most, he lent him 700 yuan. This loan list is still with Gu Zuo.

After finding these two people, Gu Zuo poured tea for them, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Tell me, why did you two become prisoners? How did you get exiled to Nanwu Prefecture? I don't see how close you two are.
