Chapter 459 Mining Team
In Bai's ancestral hall, after the village head Bai Guili talked to the men, the men told the family, and the women were naturally not unhappy.

But everyone also has doubts in their hearts.

I used to chisel stones before, but I have never heard of a room and board package, and you can only come back once a month?
And return such a high salary?
Why is this?

Some women feel uneasy, and when they talk to their men, the men also feel terrified: This is not going to kill you, right?
When Bai Guili was mentioned by the men, his heart suddenly jumped. After deliberation, he simply went to Chen Qingshan's house to ask someone.

King Shangjun was here, and Hu Yanlie was also there. After hearing Bai Guili's words, the two big brothers looked at each other.

The Yuanyu mine found in Xuanwu Kingdom, with the passage of time, no more than two months at most, is known to the world.

So once the mirror guards arrive, plus the imperial guards, the secrecy is not important.

After pondering for a moment, Shangjun Wang still chose to tell the truth: "The Yuanyu mine was discovered in the quarry, and everyone must no longer be able to enter and exit freely."

"So if everyone is willing to go in and dig Yuanyu, the wages will be greatly increased, but there is definitely no freedom."

Village head Bai Guili was dumbfounded: "Yuan... Yuanyu Mine?!"

"Well. It's not appropriate to publicize this matter at the moment. You went back and told the villagers in private. If you don't want to dig Yuanyu, you can quit." King Shangjun nodded and said some attention Matters, the tone of the exhortation is called a gentle one.

The village chief Bai Guili stepped on the cotton field to go to the ancestral hall, beat the gong again, called all the men in the village, and explained the relationship and reasons.

The men were also stunned!
Yuanyu is actually wrapped in this white stone? !

I went this time, not to chisel stones, but to chisel Yuanyu? !
No wonder had to let go home!
No wonder it also includes room and board!
No wonder the wages are so high...

Bai Guishui, Bai Shan's uncle who had been shrinking behind the crowd before, suddenly said, "I don't have tools, what should I do?"

Bai Guili looked at Bai Guishui, who was limping because he had no food at home: "The tool mine will provide them. We will give out tools when we go to work every day, and collect them when we leave work. We don't have to worry about it."

Bai Guishui breathed a sigh of relief.

He has run out of money to buy tools.

Bai Guili didn't show it on the surface, but he knew it well: Bai Guishui was desperate, one of his two sons ran away, and his own leg was broken before, although he was reattached with local methods later, he was limping.

If he doesn't do anything, he can only wait to be starved to death.

Forget it, as the village head, you can't just watch him starve to death and not allow him to work and earn money.

The men carried their clothes and bedding on their backs and happily went to mine to earn silver beans, while the rest of the women stayed at home to wash, cook, take care of their children, and gossip with Qiao Chu when they had time.

But on the first day of work, Bai Guili was called by Meng Hu.

Meng Hu looked serious: "The Baiguishui in your village has been dug for half a day and is only [-]% of that of other people. Tell him to go back! We don't want him."

Bai Guili was also stunned: [-]%?

This Baiguishui is real water!
But after recovering, Bai Guili could only smile wryly, and explained Bai Guishui's situation, Meng Hu was stunned: "You mean, he is that Si Niang's former husband?"

Bai Guili nodded.

Si Niang is now cooking in the mine, and because of her quick hands and feet, she has already started to get paid.

Now, due to the increase in the number of men who need to eat and live in the mine, the workload of cooking has increased sharply, and Si Niang's wages have increased again.

Meng Hu suddenly nodded: "If I were Si Niang, I would rather set up a female household for such a waste."

But in the end, he didn't say anything to let Bai Guishui leave.

This can be regarded as selling Bai Guishui's face.

However, Bai Guili was taken aback by Meng Hu's words: He didn't mention Si Niang's independent household, he only talked about Si Niang's reconciliation with Bai Guishui.

Didn't expect Meng Hu to know that Si Niang set up a female household on her own? !
Isn't the subordinate official responsible for this matter?

Does the captain care about this too? !

After thinking about it, Bai Guili asked Meng Hu: "Captain Meng, Si Niang has been working here these days, hasn't she caused you any trouble?"

Meng Hu waved his hands and chuckled, "Why? Si Niang is working hard!"

To tell you the truth, when Si Niang first came, she was like a shriveled loofah, with no vitality, thin and dark.

But during this period of time, I ate with the men in the guard, but after eating a few more full meals, it turned out to be like a loofah full of water, and its wrinkled and shriveled appearance stretched out all of a sudden!

Not only does it look more energetic, but it is also a lot more tender.

It's that shyness...that always makes Meng Hu jealous.

Meng Hu smiled even more happily, and was about to let Bai Guili leave when he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Then Bai Guishui came to the mine, didn't he come for Si Niang?"

Bai Guili was taken aback for a moment, he really didn't know.

After all, they used to be a family, if Bai Guishui can change his ways and return to the right, it is also possible to let Si Niang go back again.

After all, now that Bai Guishui looks like he is about to starve to death, it is estimated that no girl is willing to marry him, even if a widow remarries, it will be difficult to consider him.

Seeing that Bai Guili didn't speak, Meng Hu understood, and immediately sank his face: "Go and tell Bai Guishui, if he works honestly in the mine, I can give him a bite of food..."

"If he pesters Si Niang and prevents Si Niang from cooking for everyone, don't blame me for being rude."

Bai Guili was horrified in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He bowed and agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely warn him, and don't let him do anything wrong!"

After leaving the guard, Bai Guili returned to the newly built dormitory, found Bai Guishui who lived in the innermost, called him out, and frightened him first.

"The captain said that you have done too little, only [-]% of others, and I don't want you to come."

"If you want to stay, I can only give you two hundred silver beans a month. If you are willing, you can stay. If you don't, you can just leave." After Bai Guili finished speaking, it depends on Bai Guishui's reaction.

Bai Guishui has been feeling uneasy since he left work, because he himself knows that he has done a lot less than others.

But he couldn't help it, his legs were lame, and his movements were slow. Those who moved quickly swarmed towards the easiest ones to dig.

What's more, people are used to doing it, he has never done physical work, so it is very good to have so much after being tired for a long time!
Now, hearing Bai Guili say this, I feel at ease in my heart, and nodded in agreement without saying a word: "I am willing."

Death from exhaustion is better than death from starvation, not to mention that he has an old mother and a young son Bai Wei in his family, both of whom are waiting for food.

Seeing that he readily agreed, Bai Guili was surprised, originally he thought he would babble.

After thinking about it, Bai Guili asked, "Did you see Si Niang when you were eating today..."

 The third one is coming!Continue tomorrow!
