Chapter 137: Eggs are not placed in a basket

At this time, Chen Ying was in a very bad mood. He was a person from later generations, unless he was a bloody battle between the two sides of the battlefield. In fact, Chen Ying was neither bloodthirsty nor easy to kill. However, when he saw the workers in the gold mine, Chen Ying suddenly had the intention to kill.

There are more than 3,000 workers in the Gushan Gold Mine, but these workers didn’t even have a single piece of clothing to keep warm in the cold weather in January. They froze to death in just one winter, and nearly 300 people were exhausted.

Three hundred lives, perhaps in the eyes of some big men, are just ants and grass, but Chen Ying has a huge murderous intention. When he learned about this situation, he originally wanted to let Wang Xuanqiong go some life, but now Chen Ying really wants to cut off all the heads of these people and build Jingguan.

At this time, the gold mine shantytowns sounded one after another, screaming like a pig slaughter. Chen Ying happily handed over more than 100 industrial and mining management in the gold mine to the miners for disposal. These miners usually undertake heavy and high-intensity physical labor. These managers have a very bad attitude towards the mine. They not only deducted the rations and clothes distributed to the mines by Wang Xuanqiong, but also often torture the mines in different ways.

The head of the in charge of these businessmen was Huang Jungui, a fat man as fat as a pig. Huang Jungui liked drinking especially, but this big and thick fat man was a very afraid of his inner self. As long as he was angry at home, he would come to the mine to vent his anger to the miners. Seeing any miner disliked him, he would whip him hard. According to the reactions of these mines, only more than ten days passed this month, Huang Jungui killed seven miners.

The screams of screams on the mine gradually became weaker. Even if Chen Ying didn't ask, he knew that these miners had already dealt with these managers that they hated very much.

At this time, the miners spontaneously surrounded Chen Ying and kowtowed to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying was inexplicably sad when he saw this scene. Standing on the tall stone, Chen Ying shouted loudly: "Brothers! I am the champion general Chen Ying sent from Chang'an. Now I lead the army here to save you! Now you are free! You will no longer be slaves in the future. You will have your own life, your ideals, and your future! As long as everyone strives with us!"

...

Chen Ying was more skillful in managing industrial and mining. Chen Ying first dealt with these annoying management, and then delegated power to the working class, allowing them to elect their own leaders. In order to save trouble, Chen Ying directly divided the gold mine management into four levels. The highest level is the manager, and the manager has two deputy managers, who control property and personnel respectively, and then set up a team leader in six tunnels, each team leader has more than a dozen squads under his jurisdiction. The team leader directly manages individuals.

When Chen Ying announced that in their original food standards, the daily amount of grain for each craftsman was three liters per person, no less than three times a month to eat meat, and no less than half a kilogram per person each time. Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Ying gave them wages. Of course, the amount of wages is definitely not high, but it is more than farming. According to the standards in Chen Ying's mansion, ordinary miners have a monthly fee of 200 yuan, and the team leader has a monthly fee of 500 yuan. As for the deputy manager, two jin, and the manager has a three jin.

Although they have always had little money, they can buy ten stones of grain. Almost one of them eats for a year, even the most ordinary miners can earn more than one hundred cents a year.

Hearing Chen Ying's decision, Du Shanguo reminded: "General, this matter is still a bit lacking in consideration. These more than 3,000 craftsmen, more than 100 team leaders, six team leaders, plus one manager and two deputy experiences, the spending of a year alone is as much as 40,000 jin. The lower officials just checked the account book they mined. When they were in the nine years of Daye, they mined the most gold, totaling 17,000 taels of gold, and last year the least, only 4,600 taels of gold..."

Chen Ying naturally understood the meaning of Du Shanguo. Four thousand six hundred taels are about 46,000 guan, and the salary is only about 40,000 guan. In addition, more than 3,000 people have to eat at least 4,000 guan a year. If meat and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar are added, it would be good to maintain the balance between the capital and income and expenditure, and if it is not done well, you will lose money.

Chen Ying shook his head and said, "The account is not calculated like this. There is a saying that goes. If you want to ask the horse to run, you must let the horse eat grass. Wang Xuanqiong doesn't understand, so this gold mine has dropped from the original 17,000 taels to the current 4,600 taels. You can wait and see. The gold can double this year and double again next year. Put your heart in mind!"

When he heard the old miner took out a few pieces from a pile of gold ore and looked carefully, he handed them to Chen Ying and Du Shanguo: "General, Du Shenjun, you see, this is gold. It is not easy to dig gold. You must first chisel the gold ore from the ore veins, roll it into powder, then pass it through a fine sieve, and then settle it to get gold. Don't look at one or two gold, it must be made from thousands of kilograms of ore."

Chen Ying was also a little surprised when he heard this. He did not expect that the gold mine was so exhausted. The gold mined was one ten thousandth of the gold ore. In other words, to mine 10,000 taels of gold, at least 10 million kilograms would have to be crushed. Without the unloading equipment, this task is actually quite a arduous task.

In this way, Chen Ying became the savior of all miners in a very short time.

Chen Ying said: "I am now changing my mind. I originally planned to disband Wang Xuanqiong's troops on the spot and send them back to their hometowns. Now I will let them compensate for the taste of being a miner..."

As the saying goes, big men move their mouths, small men get tired and broken legs. Now Chen Ying moves his mouth, and more than 3,000 soldiers under Wang Xuanqiong become miners in Taolin. And they are free miners, who only enjoy two-thirds of the ordinary food treatment, and they don’t have a penny of wages.

If they dare to be as passive as these miners, Chen Ying believes that these miners will hand them over to be human.

Just as Chen Ying was about to leave Wushanjin, Zhou Qing timidly stopped Chen Ying's horse and knelt on the ground with a plop, "This uncle, take me away! Give me a bite of food, and I will fight for you!"

Chen Ying's face was stern: "I will not kowtow the worm!"

Zhou Qing was overjoyed when he heard this: "Zhou Qing only kneeled on the general in this life!"

In fact, Zhou Qing made this recognition and fulfilled this promise with his life.

...

Chang'an is a rare sunny day. There is a crescent moon hanging in the sky. Not only because of the sunny day, the weather in Chang'an is extremely dry and cold. In the main hall of Hou Mo Chen Chen's mansion, there was a young man with thick moustache kneeling in front of Hou Mo Chen Qian. This young man was actually one year younger than Chen Ying.

However, he was Hou Mo Chenxu, the seventh-ranked elder. Mo Chenxu was the youngest younger brother of Hou Mo Chenqian. In the seventh year of Daye, he followed Hou Mo Chenying to join Lingnan, but as early as the twelfth year of Daye, Hou Mo Chenying died of illness. Hou Mo Chenxu became the head of the Hou Mo Chen family in Guizhou.

However, with the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, the Yao people in Lingnan were faintly unstable, and the Feng family in Lingnan was also eyeing Guizhou. In recent years, Hou Mo Chen family has suffered many disasters. Hou Mo Chenxu was also worried and tired, his cheeks were thin and sunken, but his eyes were completely different. He looked at the full moon in the distance thoughtfully: "The fifth brother has now become the heart of the prince of the Eastern Palace?"

Hou Mo Chen Qian would nod and said, "Yes, when you met your fifth brother back then, you were too young and you might not remember it. Now, your fifth brother is amazing. He became a guest of the East Palace at a young age and the champion general, and his future will be even more limitless!"

"No wonder, no wonder!" Hou Mo Chenxu suddenly realized: "This can be explained clearly. Feng Ang has withdrawn his troops from Liuzhou in the past three months, and the Liao people in Pu's tribe have become much more stable."

"Yes, now anyone with discerning eyes can see that the world is going to be truly surnamed Li!" Hou Mo Chenqian's eyelids were slightly closed, as if he was asleep. His voice seemed to come from the distant sky: "Li Shimin led more than 100,000 Tang troops to fight in the east, and Wang Shichong could not jump around for a few days. After recapturing the Central Plains, the Tang army would either go north or south. Whether it was north or south, your fifth brother would have the opportunity to lead troops. He was also a person with clear grudges. In the future, the Tang army would go south, and Feng Ann was also afraid that your fifth brother would lead troops to destroy their Feng family!"

Hou Mo Chenxu thought for a while and said, "I want to see the fifth brother as soon as possible and let him introduce the crown prince to me!"

"No!" Hou Mo Chenqian would say in an unquestionable tone: "It is enough to have your fifth brother in the East Palace. The foundation of our Hou Mo Chen family is to breed the family. The general trend of the world has nothing to do with us, so you come quietly, leave quietly, contact Li Jing or Li Xiaogong, and through them, join the Qin King Li Shimin. In the future, the two brothers, no matter who sits in that position, our Hou Mo Chen family will not sit on the bench. We must not learn from the Zheng family and burn cold stoves continuously!"

The Zheng family is a family that has been continuously suppressed among the Seven Sects and Five Hopes, and its strength is already the weakest among the Seven Sects and Five Hopes. It is probably because the Zheng family has failed repeatedly.

The Zheng family supported Yang Yong, but after Yang Guang took office, he launched a round of suppression of the Zheng family, almost sweeping the Zheng family. More than a dozen county-level officials almost made the Zheng family have no say in the court. If it weren't for the origin of the Zheng family, they would probably be even worse than the Houmo Chen family. This time they hugged Li Jiancheng's thighs again, hugging Wang Shichong's thighs, but it was likely that both sides were unreliable. Once Li Shimin took over Luoyang City, he would definitely not give up the opportunity to suppress Li Jiancheng by taking advantage of the Zheng family.

Hou Mo Chenqian was actually satisfied with Duan Yanshi. His two sons were under Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin. Whether it was Li Jiancheng or Li Shimin, they could protect the interests of the Duan family.

Now that Hou Mo and Chenxu go to join Li Jiancheng, it can only be regarded as the icing on the cake. If Li Shimin counterattacks in the future, then Hou Mo and Chen will definitely usher in a new round of suppression.

"The Hou Mo Chen family is now losing its strength and can no longer stand the trouble!" Hou Mo Chen Qian's eyes were like lightning, staring at Hou Mo Chenxu: "Do you understand?"

Hou Mo Chenxu nodded and said, "I am taught by you, but I still want to meet the fifth brother who is well-known first!"

"It's good to meet!" Hou Mo Chenqian said: "He is now in Shanzhou!"

"I also prepared a big gift for my fifth brother!" Hou Mo Chenxu smiled slightly and said, "Brother, guess what big gift it is?"

Hou Mo Chen Qian's eyes suddenly opened and a ray of light shot out: "Is it... it's the Five-Tooth Warship?"
