Infrastructure Throne

The masked men in black and the robbers were very easy to distinguish from the clothes. Yan Zui's accompanying guards immediately joined the battle group, and the situation suddenly became overwhelming, leaning towards Shen Qingze.

Seeing that the leader was stabbed to death with a single shot, and the enemies no longer had the will to resist, some of the bandits who were wandering around the periphery panicked and retreated. Hands tied.

Shen Qingze turned the horse's head, urged the horse, and slowly stepped over the corpses of countless dead bandits, stopping at a step away from Yan Zui.

Amidst the sound of fighting that gradually subsided, Yan Zui held his spear upside down and stood alone, with the pointed end obliquely pointing to the ground, blood snaked down and merged into a small pool of blood, staining his military boots red.

Dark red and black gold are woven into a serious and warm color.

Just like the look when the two looked at each other.

Yan Zui raised his head and looked carefully at Shen Qingze on the horse's back. Seeing that the other person's body was clean without any blood stains, he smiled and bent down to pull back the left horsewhip.

"Yan Zui."

He turned his head, turned over a flower gun in his hand, and teased with the corners of his eyes bent: "What? What is the order of the invincible heroic officiant?"

Suddenly a hand was stretched out in front of him, Yan Zui was taken aback for a moment, his eyes went up along the arm, and met Shen Qingze's deep eyes like ink:

"Come up."

Surprise is only a moment, but a little unexpected joy is settled for a long time.

Yan Zui stretched his brows and eyes, and slowly put his hand into the warm and dry palm of the other party. He pulled him hard and sat down in front of him lightly.

Although the sitting posture with legs side by side is not in line with his habits... But this little thing doesn't matter.

Shen Qingze held the rein with hands around Yan Zui's waist, and when he urged the horse forward, the tight and strong waist line fit closely with the bend of his arms, and every time he tightened the rein, he seemed to embrace the other party with his arms .

Yan Zui's height was just enough to rest her chin on Shen Qingze's shoulder, and when she turned her back to him, she relaxed her body, and Ruoyou Ruowu used his shoulder as a pillow.

Looking at the blood on the hem of the clothes, Shen Qingze frowned slightly: "Are you injured? There is blood on the hem of the clothes..."

His voice was deep and deep, with warm air entering the ear, a little numbness spread to the tip of Yan Zui's ear, he smiled faintly: "It's not my blood."

Shen Qingze thought for a while, and asked: "Is this trip going well?"

"It's all there." Yan Zui lifted his chin and raised his chin towards the direction of the accompanying guards.

A few guys with bruised noses and swollen faces, their hands were tightly tied behind their backs, and they were guarded tightly by a few guards. Behind the horse team were several carts full of smuggled ore, which slowed down Yan Zui's journey.

"One more thing." Yan Zui said calmly, "Before I rushed over, their leading informant had already learned that you and I were both in Pearl City, and now my uncle probably knows too. .”

Shen Qingze's face was calm: "Do you think something will happen to him?"

Yan Zui sneered: "Blocking people's money is like killing their parents. How can those guys who fall into the trap of money bear such a tone? Even if he doesn't make trouble, he will persuade those under his command to do something."

Shen Qingze said lightly: "Let's just jump around, let's hurry back."

On that side, Black Eagle's men had already counted all the culprits.He personally tore off the leader's mask, and it turned out to be the guard under Lott's command.

"Leave these people to me." Hei Ying straddled the horse, met Shen Qingze and the two of them, his eyes turned around on them, with a hint of strangeness in his mouth.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Shen Qingze raised his eyebrows: "What else is there for you?"

Hei Ying straightened his lips, hesitated again and again, finally bent his straight back slightly, and stroked his chest with his left hand: "Thank you, Your Excellency. It was just a critical moment. If you hadn't stepped forward, my guards and I might have died or injured a lot."

Shen Qingze was a little surprised: "You don't need to thank me, I was the one who called you out to deal with those robbers at first, and we can count as helping each other, we owe nothing."

"No." Black Eagle said firmly, "It is Lord Tia's order to protect you to leave safely. We are only following the order. As a protected person, you can leave by boat alone."

Shen Qingze pressed his forehead with some headache: "... as long as you are happy."

Although I really want to ask again, why Shen Qingze can make those guys feel like they are demented, unable to move their hands, Hei Ying thinks about it, maybe it is some powerful secret technique of the other party, so it is too rude to ask rashly.

Black Eagle swallowed all his doubts, and bowed to him again with enough respect: "Then, we will send you here. After watching you board the boat and leave, we will return to Pearl City."

Shen Qingze nodded: "Thank you."

Yan Zui raised his hand, and the accompanying guards escorting the smugglers and ores immediately got ready and transported them onto the ship one after another.

After Black Eagle's men cleaned up all the corpses, the villagers of the fishing village barely poked their heads out and looked outside. Fortunately, this catastrophe did not bring casualties to the small fishing village. On the pier, Shen Qingze ordered Jin Dali to stay A little silver coin was placed as compensation for the small fishing village.

The sails were lowered, and the sailors pulled up the anchor little by little, and the two grain ships slowly left the pier of the small fishing village, drifting away towards the east in the surging river waves...

Yuanliu City, the residence of Earl Yan En.

"Is the source of the news accurate?" Earl Yan En was dining in the restaurant when he spoke.

On the dining table are shiny new silver cutlery, the table knife has special serrations, it is very convenient and smooth to cut the steak, and the end of the table fork is engraved with exquisite carvings.

This set of tableware alone is sold for 5 silver coins in the market, which is exclusively for nobles, and the supply is limited every month. It is said that the monthly supply exceeds the demand.

There is also the crispy and tender chicken steak grilled on the dinner plate, which is said to be from the farm under Shen Qingze's name. It is much cheaper than the market price, and the meat is extra smooth and delicious.

Thinking of Shen Qingze's hateful face, and the gold and silver coins in his pocket being buried in his pocket, Yan En suddenly lost his appetite, took a sip of wine, and almost choked.

His wife and salt and iron officer Berg sat on his left and right hands, and the table was full of gourmet delicacies. Berg didn't even move a fork: "It's the news from the supervisor who accompanied the team to Pearl City this time. I know this person's character. I'm not asking Sure, he won't talk nonsense."

Yan En wiped his mouth impatiently: "That is to say, the chief priest and the city owner are both in Pearl City now?"

Berg said cautiously: "The news was sent back by pigeons a few days ago, but given the distance between Pearl City and us, they will have to travel at least ten and a half months, and it will be impossible to make it back soon."

"That's good." Yan En finally felt better, "The people in the mine, how is the arrangement going?"

Berg cleared his throat: "The city lord arbitrarily decided to unconditionally allocate more than half of the ore produced in the mine to the iron factory in the suburbs. I have already ordered people to spread the word around the city."

"The ironware shop opened by the iron factory in the market is making money every day. Look at these tableware, iron pans, iron knives and even agricultural tools, which are needed by every household. One can imagine the great interests behind it. "

"Besides, everyone knows that the production and construction team formed by the chief priest is notoriously high in remuneration. He is so generous with the money. It must be because he has grabbed more profits, so he doesn't care about this little thing. Xiaoli, gain fame for yourself."

"The miners in the mine are all illiterate, but these simple principles, especially related to their vital interests, must be understood!"

Earl Yan En slowly cut off a piece of chicken leg: "It is impossible to continue like this. Now is a good opportunity. We must let the priest know what will happen if we eat alone!"

A mine in the outskirts of Yuanliu City.

This is a continuous open-pit iron mine with huge reserves, rich and poor mines, and a large number of associated mines. Due to the scarcity of manpower, outdated tools, and low efficiency, the mining volume is not large.

Most of the miners come here because their families are poor and can’t eat enough, so they come here to sell some physical work and receive some meager wages to support their families. The most difficult, tiring and dangerous work in the mine is to commit crimes in the city, or He was a prisoner who offended the nobles and was sent here to do hard labor.

The management and supervisors of the mine were all inserted by various nobles in the city, in order to get a share of it.

Since the newly-appointed priest opened an ironworks on the outskirts of the city, the ore produced in the mines has been continuously sent to the ironworks for smelting, and the share that the nobles can retain for their own pockets has decreased sharply!

The nobles didn't want their income to decrease, so the overseers had to squeeze the miners to fill this big hole, and the pressure was heavily on the miners.

In the eyes of the miners, since the opening of the iron factory, their workload has not decreased, but has become more and more difficult. However, for some reason, their wages have plummeted.

"I do exhausting work every day, but I can't even fill my stomach! Is this how people live?!"

A shirtless miner slams the chisel on the ground.

But this time, the mine supervisor who was domineering with a stick and whip did not whip him, but shook his head and laughed loudly: "Do you know how much copper coins the workers can get in the iron factory opened by the priest? "

"Do you know, whose pockets do you mine every day?"

"Why are the workers in the iron factory getting richer and richer, but you are getting poorer?"

"A large amount of ore was transported to the iron factory of Lord Priestess, but that high-ranking figure didn't hand over a penny to our mine! Not even a copper coin of tax was handed over to the City Lord's Mansion!"

"It is said that the ironworks uses water to drive wooden equipment, which can greatly save manpower. However, our great officiant is unwilling to share it with everyone, only knowing that he can enjoy the benefits!"

"Do you know that everyone works hard every day, but they don't get what they deserve, who caused it?"

In the silence, a commotion was faintly brewing.

Finally, a roar came from nowhere in the crowd of miners: "It's the officiant!! It's the ironworks!"

Anger erupted in silence.

On the Chiyuan River, Shen Qingze's grain ship was moving forward steadily.

The cabin is cramped, and there are no entertainment facilities, Shen Qingze is bored, so he can only poke ducks to play.

In my mind, a crisp system prompt suddenly sounded:

[The player's factory is under an unknown attack.If it is attacked into the core area, it will be judged that the factory is damaged. 】

Shen Qingze: "???"

If it was in the past, he really has nothing to do but stare at the prompt.but……

He opened the main city system expressionlessly.

【Is the player using the quick return skill?It can only return to the preset coordinates, and the cooling time is 30 days. 】
