System farm space

Chapter 205

Just after dinner, someone knocked on the courtyard door. Xiao Ning ran to open the door and came back after a while, saying that it was for An Li.Lady Lanhua let An Li go and they can clean up by themselves, An Li responded and went out.

An Li went out and saw that it was old Zhou Tian who brought her little grandson to look for her. She thought it was about recruiting people that she said at noon, so she brought her grandson and grandson back home.

An Li poured cold tea and said to the two of them, "I don't have any good tea, so I'll drink some plain water first. Grandpa Zhou, what can you do for me?"

Lao Zhoutou picked up the cup and took a sip. He was silent for a long time before speaking slowly: "I heard Lai Hu say, sir, do you want to recruit some people to go mining?"

"Well, I went to the mine today to have a look and feel that I need some manpower. I'm thinking that the strong labor force in the town is more than the one you brought. Luo Li and Hu Mobai are going to follow me out Taking risks, it is not realistic to let them go to mine," An Li said.

Old Zhou didn't speak, and there was another silence.Sitting there, An Li said that she was most afraid of the sudden quietness of the air. This is just a recruiter. Just tell me if it works or not. Why are there all kinds of silences?

She thought for a while and then said: "Grandpa Zhou, don't worry, I didn't let them do it for nothing. I will pay them 20 gold coins a day, and then I will give them some small benefits during the New Year and holidays. At the end of the year, according to their The total collection will be distributed as dividends. Hmm... And, I'm thinking now that I want to find some skilled workers from among them, so that they can dig high-grade mines and sell them at a good price."

An Li paused for a moment to think of something and said: "Oh, by the way, the working hours are from nine to five, and the work is not too busy, but at noon, there is only about an hour of rest, and then every Sunday is You don’t have to go to work on rest days. For the time being, I’m just thinking about these things. See if you have any other requirements. You can tell me and I’ll see if it works.”

Old Zhou was a little surprised when he heard that An Li was going to hire people to dig mines and pay back the wages, and then he heard that there was a rest day and suddenly started crying.This frightened An Li to think what was wrong, and A Ming who was behind him crying also cried, which made An Li feel a little overwhelmed.

She hurried over to comfort the old man, and asked, "Oh, Grandpa Zhou, what's wrong with you, why are you talking and crying, please stop crying."

Old Zhou was crying bitterly while muttering: "God, why didn't you let us meet the mayor earlier, why? My son, woo woo woo woo..."

When An Li heard the old Zhou talking about his son, she recalled the panicked and haggard faces when they first arrived, and she couldn't help guessing that it might all be related to mining, right?Therefore, Zhen Laihu and the others turned pale and ran away as soon as they were told to go to the mine, and Lao Zhoutou was also silent before she said that she would pay her wages.

After Lao Zhoutou calmed down, he explained the cause and effect...

"The town we lived in before we came to you, we have lived there for several generations, but suddenly one day the mayor who used to manage us passed away suddenly, and a new one arrived a few days later He is a young man from the town, with a kind face. We thought that life would still be the same as before, but we didn't expect it to be the beginning of a nightmare.

The mayor was very nice when he first arrived in the town. Occasionally, he would ask us about the situation around the village, and we answered honestly without thinking too much about it. normal.But, a few months later, the mayor showed his true colors. "Speaking of which, Lao Zhou paused for a moment with fear on his face. It seems that to him, the sneak attacker who was killed by Anli and the others is like a devil in the hearts of these people.

The old Zhou Tou only paused for a moment and continued: "He first let the young lads in our town go to mine day and night, and us useless old guys farmed for him. Those who are more beautiful The little girl and the woman were all taken away by him, most of them were never seen again, and a small number of those who came back became crazy and finally committed suicide. The women you see now are all we tried to hide. Let him see what he has seen."

An Li asked suspiciously: "Then you haven't thought about resisting?"

"Oh, why didn't we resist. We resisted at the beginning, but in the end, we cut off our rations. All kinds of shops are run by him, and the prices are set at sky-high prices. We have no choice but to buy them no matter how expensive they are. You can’t be hungry, can you? As a result, after spending all the coffin boards, it can only last for a month, and those strong laborers who go to mine are not allowed to go home, and he will cast a spell to let that person escape. Turned into a puddle of blood.

That scene was frightening, such a big living person became a puddle of blood in an instant, not even a single bone was left.The number of people resisting gradually increased, and his methods became more and more bloody.In the end, we were all suppressed by his terrible means and dared not resist anymore. We could only eat a little ration every day that would not starve to death but definitely not enough, just to prevent us from having too much power to resist.The boys who went to mine were just enough to make a base, and then they were prone to accidents when they were hungry. Many boys had accidents in the mines.

The rest of us felt that we couldn't survive it, and that person suddenly died. Then people from the government came and asked us to report to you, and you will know what happened next. "

After the old Zhou Tou finished telling this long story, An Li was glad that she killed this scourge, otherwise he would have to scourge more people after he scourges these people.After all, townspeople are assigned by the system, and he will have a steady stream of townspeople to fill the town.

Thinking of this, An Li comforted the old Zhou: "Grandpa Zhou, don't worry, I'm not as crazy as that scumbag."

"Hahaha, I know you won't be like this. It's just that when the children heard that it was mining, they were all afraid. They were afraid that they would continue mining until they were exhausted." Old Zhoutou said and looked at An with gratitude. glass.

"It's fine as long as you understand me, then go back and tell them that I hired them, not for nothing. But now the mine only recruits five people for the time being, you go back and see which one is suitable for him to come to me to report tomorrow , and then I took them to the mine. Moreover, a few huts had to be built over the mine for people to take a lunch break, otherwise there would be no place to cool off in the hot weather, and it would be nice to warm up inside in winter. "Anli said.

"Okay, the old man will go back and talk to them now to see who is willing to go over to mine. The old man will leave first. Sir, please rest." Old Zhou stood up and took his little grandson and left.
