Twilight Boundary Chapter 413

Chapter 413 Allocating Money and Food

 After sorting out his thoughts clearly at night, Hu Ma also suppressed all the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart. There was no special expression on his face, and he was still dealing with matters in the mine patiently.

Zhuang Erchang has been taken away, and his two apprentices also died under Wu Song's corpse beekeeping. The group of rebellious shamans also died cleanly. He took over the blood food mine smoothly. .

 But taking it over is just the beginning, it must be properly arranged.

 The first major thing that needs to be dealt with first is to ask Zhou Datong and the others to bring a few meat-cutting craftsmen who are smart and familiar with the surrounding terrain to go out to inquire about the news and see if General Yin has any signs of rebellion or haunting.

In fact, General Yin is not a trivial matter. Although he has not taken shape, he is still an extremely evil thing. Once he causes trouble outside, not only one or two people will die. He ran away from the mine, so of course he must be careful. Wait for him to run back again.

Of course, even though people are asked to inquire about it, and they are given numerous warnings and warnings, they are just to pay attention, but they must not take action.

To be safe, Zhou Datong was asked to lead a small team, and Zhou Liang was asked to lead a small team. Zhao Zhu must not be let out. Others learn their skills and become smarter as they learn, but Zhao Zhu probably followed Hu Ma and the others too much. For a long time, I didn't need to use my own brain when something happened, and I became more and more stunned.

 The second thing is to appease the meat cutters who are still stranded in the mine.

Now that the month of cutting meat and settling accounts has passed, it stands to reason that these craftsmen should have returned to the village to work on farming long ago.

But Zhuang Erchang had kept these people before, and now it's time for Hu Ma to take over, it's time to calculate the money, and it's time to send them off. Of course, if you insist on it, Hu Ma can also just show off his face and directly deny this old account.

So when it came time to promise to calculate the money for this group of meat cutters, Hu Ma found that he couldn't seem to cut it out...

The Red Lantern Club also responded quickly to the letter. Xu Xiangzhu replied in person. He rewarded Xiao Hongtang with a large piece of green food and asked her to bring a hundred taels of silver sealed in red paper. What was said in the letter was extremely Eagerness not only comforts the brothers, but also ensures that they will be credited with their achievements.

 Lao Abacus was shocked when he wrote the next letter: "This **** old Xu is a bad student. He was not like this before he became an incense master!"

 The salary given to these miners is usually a portion of free food, and some silver coins are counted. If there is a lot of food in the mine, part of the food can be used to offset the amount.

The wages of each of these dozens of meat-cutting craftsmen is calculated to be twenty taels, which is nearly seven to eight hundred silver.

 …There is no need for weighing weights, there are plenty of them in the meeting.

 There is no oil or water in the mine!

Then he changed his writing and talked about the heavy burdens in the church now, and the difficulties that brothers are having. You can use these one hundred taels of silver, and you can figure out how to do the rest...

 After all, he still owes himself several thousand kilograms of blood food. If he is asked to do such a small amount of work, the interest will not even count.

 “The masters compete with each other…”

When I told Lao Baanpan about this matter, he felt confident. He waved his hand and said he could handle it. First, he dipped his pen in ink and wrote an urgent letter eloquently, and asked Xiao Hongtang to send it to Zhumen Town. What the letter said was quite really:

 …In addition, a weight was dug out from the mine. I asked the queen if she wanted it and took it back as a bonsai.

He has a total of two hundred taels with him, so how can he do it?

 When he came to the mine, he brought some silver, but it was not enough!

But it's not necessary. First of all, there will still be a need for these miners in the spring of next year. Secondly, the second master and others in the village are meat cutters, and their life is really not easy. With the little wages they earn, they can work hard by themselves. No need to be so stingy.

Huma was both surprised and somewhat reasonable. He could only shake his head with emotion. Instead, he left it to Old Abacus to find food for the brothers in the valley. He couldn't really let the people in the mine go hungry.

 He ​​was full of confidence and appeased the meat-cutting craftsmen, promising that the money and food would be distributed soon, and he might even give you some extra rewards. This made all of these honest craftsmen happy.

But now all kinds of blood food in this mine have turned into dregs and cannot be counted. The mine was closed by the witches before, and food has not come in for a long time. The flax is about to grow, and only the silver on the body is left.

We have arrived at the mine and are ready to take over, but this mine has been cheated by Zhuang Erchang. The risks we took and the things we took were all for our Red Lantern Lady. Now that Zhuang Erchang has run away, we don't listen to the meat cutter's money. What will people think of our queen in the future?

In addition, what if we don't send out manpower to search for the monster that ran out of the mine, capture it, and injure someone?

Hands are tight and the burden is heavy. How can we do without some subsidies in our association?

If there is too much, I will quickly transfer a thousand taels of silver, ten jins of blood Tai Sui, two hundred jins of green Tai Sui, and a thousand jins of white Tai Sui. Ignore the fat pigs and sheep...

What he is more concerned about now is the third major event in this mine, that is, what is the current situation of this blood food mine, and what will be the harvest next year?

After General Yin escaped, not to mention the Tai Sui flesh and blood that had been cut out, the veins floating on the surface of the mine also showed signs of withered flesh and blood. If only judging from the surface, this blood food mine can be Said it was scrapped.

Let alone this year, I'm afraid that next year, the year after, or even after a few more years, they won't be able to gain weight. And if that's the case, there's no need for Hu Ma and the others to stay here. They can just pack up their things and go back to their own village.

 But in fact, after careful investigation, they couldn't help but feel that things were not that simple.

"Little shopkeeper, our ancestor is still reliable..." After some careful calculations, Old Abacus quietly found Hu Ma and whispered: "Before I came, I asked him about the calculations. Several hexagrams said that I came here to make a fortune, but now look, my ancestor still cares about us!"

“This mine is depleted of flesh and blood on the surface, but its essence is hidden and full of vitality. I think we will get rich in the spring next year!”

 “And this?”

Huma also acted surprised, but she had already figured it out.

When it comes to understanding the blood food mine, he is not as good as Lao Baanpan, but the whole story is very clear.

This blood food mineral appears to have been drained of essence and looks withered, but under the withered appearance, there is a cause and effect of the collapse of the wizard **** and the essence of mana, all of which were absorbed by Tai Sui.

That is a powerful existence supported by so many shamans who worshiped devoutly, which is comparable to the foundation and weight contained in an old fire pond in a village.

Such an old Huotangzi almost became fat and supported Master Tai Sui.

How could this mine not be rich?

"Looking at it this way, the craftsmen in this mine alone are not even enough, it is really not enough..."

Hu Ma kept this matter in mind and thought to himself: "In the spring of next year, will we invite the second master and the others to come here?"

After all, the Red Lantern Lady is kind-hearted and will definitely be reluctant to **** this thing from her men. Whatever is cut out of this mine next year will be our own...

Living a tight life like this, urging Lao Baopan to find money and food every day, as one day or two passed, things in the mine gradually subsided, and the impact of the witches' rebellion was gradually eliminated, and the craftsmen were also very happy. stable.

After all, they don't have to work in the mines every day, they still have to take care of their food, and they count their wages every day. Even if they don't get it all for a while, they still have something to look forward to, right?

 As for the weights dug out of the mine?

Because I didn't need it in the meeting, and because it was heavy and difficult to move, I just put it there. Fortunately, it didn't take up much space. At first, everyone was a little frightened by it and stayed away from it, but later I didn't see much of it. No matter what happens, just relax.

 Gradually, someone put coir raincoats on it. After the first one, there was a second one, and more things were put on it.

With so many clutter, it seems that this stone weight is not eye-catching at all.

Similarly, after these mundane things stopped, Hu Ma's attention was still focused on where to find the special activity of keeping up the year after entering the mansion.

I even thought about several strategies, such as trying to find a way from the reincarnated person to see what I could get in exchange for it, or trying to find a way from the Red Lantern Club to see if the Red Lantern Lady's face was big enough, etc. It felt like it would work. Passable, but not very safe.

While I was thinking about it, on this day, a message suddenly came in from outside the valley, saying that a group of people had arrived, and they politely requested to come into the valley to visit.

“Weng Suntong from Liu County Township came to visit with his son?”

Hu Ma got the note and looked at it carefully, but he didn't think about it for a moment. What was this countryman doing in his mine?

 After a moment of reaction, he suddenly understood. He quickly stood up and said happily: "Please come quickly!"

He hurriedly led the people to the outside of the valley, but then passed through the forest that was full of poisonous insects before. Only then did he see a group of carriages and horses in the open space outside. On the horse headed by it, there were two people sitting on it. Wearing brocade clothes and dressing up in wealth, who else could he be if he wasn't the old Shou Sui?

　　Just stay up until the end of the year. If he had said he was the Third Master Sun of Tieqiao, he would have understood. But if he had to say something about a country man, Hu Ma almost didn't make the connection.

I felt happy in my heart. If I want to stay in the house, wouldn't this be the right one?

Moreover, Hu Ma had seen carefully before that this old man had the ability to stay in the house and watch the New Year's Eve!

 He has a green face and fangs, looks like an evil ghost, and his ability seems to be quite big...

While thinking about it, he greeted him with a smile: "Now that the old gentleman is here, he can just go straight into the valley. Why are you being so polite?"

Tieqiao Sun Sanye, who was riding over there, saw Hu Ma coming out in person and speaking politely. His face suddenly lit up and he smiled and said: "Manager Hu, you are so polite. I am paying a serious visit this time. How dare I lack etiquette?"

As he said that, he dismounted from the horse next to him with a white-faced young man wearing brocade clothes and jade robes. He was rich and tall and had a long body. The young man also looked at thirty or so. Mr. Sun smiled and said: "This is the seventh child of my family."

 “Lao Qi, call me uncle!”

The young man got off his horse and immediately bowed with his hands: "Uncle Hu is polite..."

Hu Ma was confused: "What the hell? This person looks much older than me..."
