This mountain is mine

Chapter 99

Seeing that Yu Miaomiao was in a hurry, Zhao Man stretched out his hand through the gauze curtain and pinched her nose. Even if he wanted to hit her on the head, there was no room for him. He asked her to wear the curtain, and he had to meet a lot of people today. .

Yu Miaomiao was furious, but she couldn't pat his hand away.

Zhao Man squeezed enough before letting go, "Stupid woman, husband and wife are one, how many times have I told you, you also said last time, what's yours is mine, who pays the wages, are you sure you want to ask this question again? "

Yu Miaomiao was depressed, even giving her a gift didn't make her worry, it wasn't considerate at all.

Zhao Man suddenly changed the subject, "I have the responsibility to arrange them well. Miaomiao..."

Seeing him like that, Yu Miaomiao couldn't say anything against him, so she just nodded. If she followed the requirements of the hired workers, it would be impossible for her to hire these old, weak, sick and disabled people. However, they are Zhao Man's responsibility. What can she say? ?This person has definitely eaten her up...

Wait for Zhao Man to lead her before walking in front of others.The crowd, who had been neat and silent all this time, looked over in unison.

Yu Miaomiao couldn't tell what it was like, most of these hundreds of people were disabled, some of them were weak at first glance, and they were all skinny, like refugees who came from somewhere.

But their spirits are pretty good, their eyes are piercing, they are also very disciplined, they don't make noise, they don't make noise, they perform their own duties, and you can tell their identities at a glance. These people are certainly not all of them.

Yu Miaomiao sighed silently, she couldn't bear to drive these people away.

At this time, a man with poor legs came forward, first gave a military salute to Zhao Man, and then calmly said to Yu Miaomiao: "Madam, leave these mines to us. Although our bodies are not as good as ordinary people, we still have strength. We will not delay your business. I, Wang Changfeng, have issued a military order here, and if I cannot complete the task, I will come to see you."

The obvious military style, neither humble nor overbearing, is grateful to Yu Miaomiao and the others, but that's all, because they will show with practical actions that they are worth the wages offered by Yu Miaomiao.

Zhao Man stood silently, he had already told these people that this mine belonged to Yu Miaomiao, at least on the surface, he would not interfere in the affairs here, everything was decided by Yu Miaomiao.

Let Yu Miaomiao come forward to settle these wounded soldiers, the people under him will accept Yu Miaomiao faster, and then respect her, he is also paving the way for Yu Miaomiao.

His wife can't just be Jiaohua standing behind him. He doesn't have so much time to take care of Jiaohua. Beside him, a woman who can stand alone.

Yu Miaomiao surprised him several times, she deserves the respect of his people.

Yu Miaomiao stood up straight, but she was a bit small and lacked any momentum.

After Wang Changfeng finished speaking, she nodded calmly: "I will give you a chance."

The man nodded solemnly, and the people below all looked relieved.

What kind of soldiers will be brought, Zhao Man is so tyrannical, his soldiers, even these wounded soldiers, all look proud and don't need Yu Miaomiao's sympathy, so she will treat them as normal people.

"How much do you think you can dig in a day?" Yu Miaomiao asked Wang Changfeng in a deep voice.

Wang Changfeng pondered for a while and said: "These soil ores are no harder than rocks, one hundred catties per person per day."

Yu Miaomiao said unequivocally: "According to the calculation of [-] catties per person, I will find someone to take them away every seven days. Is it possible?"

Wang Changfeng's expression darkened for a moment, and he said persistently, "One hundred catties."

Yu Miaomiao didn't argue with him, but said: "Quicking four hours a day, repairing one day every seven days, I'm not taking care of you, but I don't want you to quarry when you're tired, which will only increase casualties."

Wang Changfeng was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhao Man, saw that he was only looking into the distance, and then nodded.But they are used to seeing life and death, and they will not be moved by it.

Yu Miaomiao didn't intend to impress them either, she continued, "Where do you live now?"

Wang Changfeng pointed to the mountain peak on one side. They temporarily set up camp on the mountain, with enough food and grass for this month. They have no way out, just because they pursued the Liao people while taking advantage of the victory and almost destroyed the peace talks between Song and Liao. designated as rebels.

Even if they went back to their hometown, they were afraid of implicating their family members, so they followed Zhao Man all the way through the mountains and forests, passing through the Shennong forest area, and entered Zhushan County.

More than anyone, they don't want to be a liability.Satisfied with the status quo.

Yu Miaomiao didn't ask any more questions, but felt a little bored. If so many disabled soldiers suddenly appeared in Zhuxi County, they would certainly attract suspicion. They were more eye-catching than normal people.

What's more, there are still many spies here, and they cannot survive in an open and honest manner, unless this place is completely controlled by Zhao Man.

In the four counties of Fangling, there are only two hundred soldiers in each county, and the number of militiamen in service does not exceed 300. Zhao Man has soldiers in his hands, and these soldiers are not to be feared at all.

The difficulty is that the forces of Fangling's various factions are also intertwined and difficult to control. If you are a little careless, you will not be able to keep the news that Zhao Man's soldiers are in Fangling. There are a large number of defenders outside Fangling. It is true that the city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but most of the food in the city now comes from outside the city. Once the housing mausoleum is surrounded and the supply of food and grass is cut off, the people in the city will only starve to death.

Unless Fangling City can grow a lot of food by itself...

Yu Miaomiao looked at the people in front of her, and then at Zhao Man. He was staring at the distant mountain, wondering what he was thinking, she sighed silently, given her time, she would definitely be able to grow a large amount of food in Fangling.

Putting aside the thoughts in her mind, she calmly said: "The wages are not comparable to the income from mining in other places. Now I can only pay one hundred yuan per person per month. The monthly wages will be paid at the beginning of next month. Today is the eighth day of April, starting from the eighth day of May, as a convention. When things get on the right track, I will give you a raise."

Some of these people are strong and some are weak. She originally wanted to set up a reward mechanism so that those who are able will get more, but these people are obviously a group. Although they didn't say a few words in front of Yu Miaomiao, Yu Miaomiao can also see their determination to advance and retreat together. , this idea can only be given up.

One hundred wen is already her oppression of labor.

"No need." Wang Changfeng was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said.

"It's impossible for you to live on the mountain all the time. The money will be used in the future, and you have family members." Yu Miaomiao didn't give Wang Changfeng a chance to speak, and continued: "If there is no objection, then it's settled."

Military orders are like mountains, once these people agree, they will naturally not violate her rules.

Wang Changfeng nodded in response, thinking that it would be a lie to say that there is no ups and downs.No one has ever told them so clearly that they will not live on the mountain forever. King Li is not a person who will promise, he will only use actions to improve their situation step by step.

Now someone told them that they would also live a normal life, and he was so sure that he almost forcibly suppressed the tumbling excitement, so he didn't ask, this lady who didn't show her face, how could she guarantee it?

Yu Miaomiao didn't explain either, nothing was accomplished, and everything she said was empty talk.

"I will send someone to pick up the goods in seven days."

After Yu Miaomiao finished speaking, she followed Zhao Man and left. From the beginning to the end, Zhao Man did not intervene. When they left, Zhao Man held her hand tightly. Why didn't he want his soldiers to have a better life? .

"You stupid woman... don't say what you can't do, it will make people laugh at that time."

Yu Miaomiao snorted, "There are only more than 100 people, and I can definitely arrange them."

"What do you use to pay your wages? It's a lot of money a month. Do you have money?"

"Of course I have. It's been more than ten days now, and my wine may have been sold. Wait for another month, and I will definitely have income." Yu Miaomiao said confidently, "The beginning of June is the official birthday, and when the time comes , Fangling's Ringo and Lizi will definitely bring in a lot of income."

Zhao Man remembered that she put stickers on Ringo, and put glass cups on pear trees and gourds, but now she can't see anything.

"Just wait and see. There is still one month." After this month, this period of blue and yellow days is over.

"Will it be discovered by the government? Is it safe?"

"There are police posts along the way."

"I want to build a fertilizer workshop in Zhuxi County to grind the earth and rocks collected from the mountains into powder. I need manpower and space, and I will leave it to you."

Zhao Man nodded, this is not difficult, he has a place and manpower, so he can do it if he says it.

Seeing her confident and high-spirited appearance, Zhao Man was very satisfied.

Zhao Man was satisfied, but many people were dissatisfied, and Li Yi was one of them.

Zhao Man stunned his subordinates with drugs that day, and he escaped alone. Just as Zhao Man expected, he went to Zhao Man that day and brought almost all the experts around him. It is not easy to bring in too many people.

He wanted to catch Zhao Man by surprise and let out a sigh of relief, but Zhao Man broke his wings overnight.Zhao Man also sent people to hunt him down.

Li Yi's situation in Fangling was worse than Zhao Man's. At least those who chased Zhao Man did not believe that Zhao Man was in Fangling, nor did they believe that Zhao Man's soldiers had hidden in Fangling one after another.Li Yi couldn't understand this point, why no one believed him when he released the news.The Song Dynasty is not chaotic, so how can he make a profit?
Li Yi didn't know the reason, but Zhao Man knew it well.

Because those people were too confident and thought they had poisoned him, so every fifteenth day of every month, a girl would die because of the poison of the Acacia Gu, unable to bear the poison, even if the woman's body was burned Even if the sub-gu of the acacia Gu is burned to death, it will also leave a unique smell.

They have Gu worms to track down the smell, and if they follow the smell, they can find out where Zhao Man is hiding.

Therefore, they don't believe that Zhao Man is in Fangling, because Fangling has no breath.Moreover, the only place where Fangling can hide a large number of people is the forest area full of miasma, and entering it is a dead end.They don't know miasma can be dealt with.
Up to now, they will only suspect that Zhao Man is in Bozhou, and Bozhou can accommodate Zhao Man's soldiers, so they sent people to Bozhou to find evidence. General Huaihua of Wang, this is also the reason why Zhao Man lured people to Bozhou. Only people who raise Gu in Bozhou may know how to hide the aura of Acacia Gu.

Whoever let Gu worms come from Bozhou, Yang can't control his own people, so he can only take the blame for Zhao Man.

Li Yi didn't know the reason, he quickly changed his mind, he just took it as the news he sent out earlier, to hide his identity, he couldn't find the root cause, and it wasn't enough to win people's trust.

He wants to find a good channel for these news to spread.He had previously cooperated with the one-day bath bean, a branch of the Lian family, and knew a little about the Lian family, so he chose the Lian family without hesitation this time.

Zhao Man's people are still chasing him. He has changed his name, and he is hiding in the county government of Zhuxi County swaggeringly. Trying to fight, and guiding the Lian family and Zhao Man's whereabouts without leaving a trace.

On this day, Mr. Lian had just been scolded by Master Lian, and came back dejectedly. When he saw Li Yi, he vomited bitterly: "Brother Li, you have to help me think of an idea this time. What should we do? The Crown Prince and King Cheng have offended the Lian family, and my father wants to end the second sister, but General Yin is not easy to mess with, this sister is very popular with General Yin. I don’t know how long I can stay in this position.”

Li Yi secretly scolded him for being an idiot, even being so stupid deserves to be called his brother.

But he didn't show it on his face, he rolled his eyes and said: "Li has a plan for even the things that your lord is worried about."

Master Lian hurriedly said: "Brother Li, please tell me, if it is feasible, Brother Li is really my lucky star."

Li Yidao, "If Sir Lian makes great contributions to the prince, the prince will be at ease. What the Lian family gave to Cheng Wang Yidang is only a concubine, so it doesn't matter."

"But I can make any contribution, but it's not bad if I don't make any mistakes."

Li Yi interpreted the ridicule very calmly, cursing in his heart, you have self-knowledge, but said: "If Lord Lian can find out Zhao Man's whereabouts, Zhao Man has soldiers in his hands, and he has the intention of rebellion. Wouldn't it be a great achievement to expose Zhao Man to the crown prince?"

"Zhao Man? You mean King Li who was exiled to Fangling?" Even the adults shook his head subconsciously, "The prefect's yamen has issued several notices asking Zhao Man to register and make a record, but he didn't show up. How can I find him? get him?"

Li Yi looked at Mr. Lian and smiled meaningfully. Idiots are not useless, at least they have less suspicion and can be used as gunmen.

Master Lian shivered: "Brother Li?"

Li Yi suppressed his smile and said, "Lord Lian, do you believe that there will be pies in the sky?"
