Chapter 28 Two Choices
The other expenses are relatively large, the largest of which is the transportation fee of Zhenwei Wuguan. It cannot be made 200 taels per month, and it can only be transported. If someone wants to save money, spend more than 100 taels to buy ten ox carts? Haha, it will definitely win Zhenwei's praise, praise you for being imaginative, and will also give you a one-way ticket to the underworld.
Another thing is the ritual. During the holidays, you have to pay a visit to Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall. Every year, you will give gifts of around 5 or 600 taels. So in name, it is affiliation under Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall. But how much effect can such an affiliation play? Only God knows. It can be described in one sentence - you may not know if you give it to Zhenwei, but you will definitely be impressed if you don't give it to him.
By the way, including Qiu Bo's Yongsheng, most of the forces in the nearby governments have similar affiliation relationships with Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall. Otherwise, it would be impossible to move forward.
Therefore, when he met Zhenwei Convoy today, Niu Sanye felt like he had a life-saving straw, because of this kind of affiliation. He was just unlucky. He happened to meet Zhang Jiuyun, Tie Sheng and the others were "indifferent", so he could only get the lunch box in a very sad way.
The relationship between Qin Bai’s registered disciples is different. First of all, the moral integrity is relatively high, ranging from 1,000 to 1,500 taels each year, two or three times more. Secondly, the name of Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall can be borrowed outside. The last point is that Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall will fulfill certain obligations. Although it is very few, there are still some, at least... you will avenge you after you die.
Therefore, there are fewer such registered disciples. Zhenwei Martial Arts School does not like to cause trouble for a little more money. People in the martial arts world think it is not worth it. It is better to spend more money to directly become Zhenwei's official disciples. Although they will contribute most of their industries, they are better than the ridiculous death and revenge?
"Ha!" Qin Bai laughed silently and ushered in Dong Chuan's puzzled gaze.
Qin Bai shook his head. He was no longer interested in continuing to ask, including the Dongerfang in Jingjiazhuang. Because it was completely unnecessary, Qin Bai ended the conversation: "Mr. Dong, thank you. You can go out first!"
Dong Chuan was stunned and worried that he had said something wrong. No matter how uneasy Dong Chuan left, he turned around and waited for Qin Bai to be left in the room, he immediately searched everywhere, hoping to find some of the property left by Niu Sanye.
Sure enough, the result was a great harvest. Because Niu Sanye escaped in a hurry, he didn't even bring the gold, silver and fine gold. He easily found more than 200 taels of silver and a large basket of copper coins from the house. He also found an oil paper bag in the cracks of the wall bricks beside the bed. It contained twenty gold leaves of about five cents each, and ten taels of gold. There were also five gold earrings, gold rings, and gold bracelets. The weight was estimated to be several taels, and there were still dark blood on it. It was probably the gain of robbery.
In addition, there are several blank road guides inside. If you are not wrong, this oil paper bag should have been prepared by Mr. Niu San for his escape. However, all of them are cheaper now.
At this time, Qin Bai was somewhat impressed by Tie Sheng. Tie Sheng and his men did not move at all in the room with such conspicuous silver and a basket of copper coins. In fact, they couldn't tell anything if they took them all away. Although they were cold to him, they were one of the few people who paid attention to the morality of the world.
After all this, Qin Bai came outside the house. The people in Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall had already transformed into supervisors and directed the mine slaves to carry the ore onto the car. It was not until more than two hours later that more than one hundred mine slaves finished their work. Zhang Jiuyun did not say anything, and directly ordered: "Bai Er, add today's batch, you have lost more than 10,000 kilograms in half a month? Remember, 200,000 kilograms at the end of the month must not be less. Don't be careless, it's useless if you can't plead for mercy. If you are ruthless to those sufferings, who will be ruthless to you? Also, tomorrow you will settle the account in the village for the past half month, and you can accept Dong Erfang by the way. Tiezi, don't forget to clean Bai Er when you go back. If you are brothers, don't be afraid of trouble."
“Yes, Master.”
“…”
As the convoy of Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall left, the crowd suddenly became turbulent. Someone suppressed it just now, but now only Qin Bai and the others were left. Even if the newly-reached ones, the number of people who were Yuan Yongsheng and the others who had won were less than ten.
People's hearts were floating, and Li Gan, Da Yan and others became anxious. Only Qin Bai kept smiling, and he suddenly shouted: "What are you waiting for? You can leave if you want, and you can stay if you want. Each person who leaves gets five kilograms of grain."
"Boom--!" It became noisy. The faces of the mine slaves showed expressions of joy, shock, disbelief, palpitations, etc. Suddenly, one of them ran away, and he didn't even want the food he promised to give. Everyone else stared at Qin Bai's reaction nervously, until the man ran out of the village. Seeing that Qin Bai still had no obstacles, he immediately dispersed and began to run out in groups of three or five.
More than 30 people ran away in a blink of an eye, and Qin Bai was still smiling and indifferent. Until a thin old man was about to run away, but he felt uneasy, so he came to Qin Bai first, knelt down and kowtow: "Thank you for your kindness, and thank you for your life-saving kindness!"
Qin Bai laughed and said, "It's okay. The old man asked me to get up. But I was a little curious. Why do you don't even want the food you gave?"
"Ah?" The old man raised his head in surprise. He never expected that Qin Bai's promise just now was true.
Qin Bai laughed loudly and then ordered behind him: "Danzi, big-eyed, and Mr. Dong, please help me share the food. Don't worry about the amount, it's okay to give more."
It happened to be the day to transport grain to the mountain, and it was nothing to give everyone five days of food. Moreover, Qin Bai had already made a decision, and he didn't care about the territory of Xiaohongling at all.
When I heard the introduction just now, Qin Bai had questions about the numbers. There are two key points: one is 200,000 kilograms per month. There are more than 120 mine slaves here. As long as there are primary school monks' math level, it is easy to calculate. Each person only dug out about 60 kilograms per day? The output is outrageously low. As for why such low production efficiency occurs? Is it because of production methods, or tools, etc.? Don't go into it in depth, and put it aside for the time being.
But the other problem is the monthly income and expenditure. Most of them need to be paid tribute to Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, but not many of them are left behind. It can be said that they just happened to be pinched to the throat. So I immediately faced two choices, one is to keep it the same, Qin Bai himself finds a group of guards and then catches a group of mine slaves, so that it can still be barely maintained.
