After ten years of sharpening the sword, one sword shocked the sky!

Chapter 41 [To lure him for profit, to show him prestige]

As a steward in this cold iron mine, the monthly income of martial arts contribution is [-] points.

If only the guaranteed Men's tribute was taken, Lin Lin, who owed [-] sect contributions, would need seventy months or nearly six years to pay off the owed sect contributions.

Six years is not a long time for many elite disciples. They can practice martial arts leisurely and pay off these tributes at the same time.

After paying off these tributes, they will be regarded as extraordinary talents if they can practice the superior martial arts they have learned to a superb level.

There is even extra time to accumulate more tributes to prepare for subsequent promotion to true disciples and even promotion to deacon elders to learn the unique skills of the town school.

For many Baihua Valley disciples, what restricts them from learning martial arts is not any conditions such as status or tribute, but their own martial arts talent and martial arts advancement.

Let's take Lin Lin's parents as an example. They are 35 years old this year, their status and martial arts contribution are long enough to learn the unique skills of Baihua Valley.

However, due to limited talent, his own strength has not yet reached the hard conditions for learning the martial arts of the Zhenpai.

However, considering the speed at which Lin Lin's martial arts practice progressed, it would take only a few years for all the superior martial arts he had learned to reach the pinnacle of mastery.

His situation is the opposite of that of his parents. He has enough martial arts talent but not enough status and martial contribution.

If you think about how to earn more contributions to the sect after six years, and prepare to be promoted to a true disciple or even a deacon elder to learn the unique skills of the sect, then the day lily will be cold.

Therefore, on the first day of work here, Lin Lin began to think about how to earn more martial contributions without delaying his own practice progress.

And finding a way to increase the production of cold iron ore on the existing basis is a very good direction of effort.

"It's really only 200 taels?"

Facing Lin Lin's rhetorical question, Chi Bencheng and Shi You looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.

They didn't expect that the young senior brother in front of them would be so aggressive when he first arrived.

Isn't the other party afraid of really self-defeating?
Not only did he not get more benefits, but on the contrary, it made the cold iron mine unable to maintain normal operation, which made the output of the cold iron mine drop, which led to the sect punishing him?
Is it because I have already considered it in my heart, or is it because the young mind is not mature enough?
But even if Lin Lin was so aggressive, Chi Bencheng and Shi You didn't intend to get angry.

After all, they couldn't beat Lin Lin.

I also don't want to make too much trouble with Lin Lin, causing everyone to lose money.

So at this time, facing Lin Lin's questioning, the two could only explain patiently.

Chi Bencheng said: "Senior Brother Lin, the sect grants us 5000 taels of silver for the purchase of materials on the Cold Iron Mine every month, and 4000 taels of this money will be used to buy food and fodder for the miners and make mining hoes and other production tools. , these cannot be saved.”

"Otherwise the miners will not have enough to eat and have no strength, and the mining efficiency will be low if they do not have enough tools, and the livestock will not be able to move the goods without forage, so they will not be able to maintain the full monthly production of the cold iron ore."

"I'll give you 1000 taels of the saved 100 taels of silver, and more than 30 of our supervisors will share the rest. Each of us can only get 30 taels."

"Brother, you also know that our outer disciples are not only average in talent, but also from poor family backgrounds. We all rely on this little extra income to maintain our martial arts practice."

"Brother, if you are really dissatisfied with the 100 taels, the extra 1000 taels of silver saved will be a gift of 200 taels to you. How about we supervisors only get 25 taels each?"

On the side, Shi You also complained: "Brother Lin, the miners' salaries issued by the sect are 6000 taels of silver."

"Among the many miners, only five or six hundred are slave sinners, and the salaries of the rest of the normal miners are indispensable."

"Otherwise, their riots are a trivial matter. With the martial arts of my supervisors, I can easily suppress them. I am afraid that all these people will go on strike and leave the mine. At that time, the production of the cold iron mine will not be able to meet the full amount. We can deal with some miners who are rioting. But it’s impossible to hit all miners hard.”

"Jie Shi Ruohan didn't collect enough iron and gold stones, not only seniors, but we will also be punished by the sect."

"There are about 200 taels of oil and water in the salary. If the brother is not satisfied with the 100 taels, he can transfer 300 taels, and the rest will be distributed to us supervisors."

While complaining, the two divided part of the benefits to Lin Lin.

For them, filial piety to the elite disciples in charge is a due meaning, and Lin Lin will find opportunities to talk to Lin Lin later if he doesn't mention them now.

Everyone has money to make, so that everyone will not have money to make.

But the 200 taels that he tried at the beginning was purely because Lin Lin was young to fool him.

But now that Lin Lin is aggressive and feels that 200 taels is not enough, then giving him 500 taels should be enough, and this is the limit they can accept.

Lin Lin, the supervisor, eats meat, and the supervisors of them also have to drink some soup.

Otherwise, if Lin Lin continues to be aggressive, if he wants to eat alone and doesn't even give them a mouthful of soup, then don't blame them for not giving Lin Lin this senior brother face.

Lin Lin watched the two perform calmly.

As expected of an old fritter who has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, he is very skilled in using threats and lures.

Offered to give him 500 taels a month to appease his emotions, this is a lure for profit.

He also pointed out that if Lin Lin is still not satisfied after taking 500 taels, then don’t blame them for secretly making troubles to stop the production of Han Iron Mine and make Lin Lin punished by the sect. It's a show of prestige.

After this combination of punches, anyone with a normal mind will stop making troubles, and they will be able to integrate into their circle with peace of mind and earn stable profits.

If Lin Lin didn't pursue more contributions to the sect, it would probably be the same.

But now that Lin Lin needs contributions from the sect, the situation is completely different.

Facing the eyes of the two people looking forward to the answer, Lin Lin answered the wrong question:

"The two deacon brothers know that the sect's reward for this cold iron mine is determined according to the output. If the production can be doubled by the end of the year, the sect's contribution will not only be doubled, but also the cold iron mine will be given out for a year. About half of the operating expenses, which is about 10 taels of silver, will be used as rewards."

"That is to say, if we can double the production of cold iron in the next year, then the sect will reward us with an additional 10 taels of silver. If we can double it, it will be a reward of 20 taels of silver. The higher the reward, the higher it will be.”
