The Unruly Princess: Regent, please hug me

Chapter 984 Miners
"I'm not that spoiled and spoiled, so what's the point? Can you lend me these pieces of jade? If it's broken, I'll pay you back, or you can give it to me at your usual price. "Shen Qiqi also didn't want to put on airs in front of Cheng Xiao, she changed her address and no longer called herself Ben Gong, but returned to a very natural address.

"Take it if you don't need it, as you have seen, this quarry is very big. I have a lot of jade because I don't have much, but there is a lot of jade. Take it away, I don't want your money." Cheng Xiao bent down from the wheelchair Picking up those stones and putting them in Shen Qiqi's hands, Cheng Xiaofang's angle was very good, Shen Qiqi's hands were supporting those jade stones, so they would not be cut by those edges and corners.

Shen Qiqi got what she wanted, turned her head and looked around, and found that this place turned out to be a huge stone cave that had been dug out. It seemed that Cheng Xiao had been digging here for a long time. Judging by the degree of excavation by those miners, it should be It is working day and night.

"Is the land above?" Shen Qiqi looked at the huge cave and thought of those flowers and plants, he pointed to the top of his head with his finger, Cheng Xiao nodded.

"The jade in Baicao Mountain is all contained under the ground, so we dig down." Cheng Xiao himself didn't know why, since Shen Qiqi caught the jade for him, his attitude towards Shen Qiqi was also different. She has become much softer, and her tone is gentle. She didn't realize it herself, but she just thought that she and Cheng Xiaoxiao had some similarities.

"Wouldn't it affect the flowers and plants above if you dug such a big cave?"

"It is the flowers and plants above that affect us. We will push all the flowers and plants on the quarry down and bury them in the soil. If someone pulls the grass roots and loosens the soil, it will affect the quarry. So around and above the quarry, I No flowers or plants are allowed." Cheng Xiao looked at a miner who was digging stones, there was an obvious scar on his back, presumably cut by a stone, he beckoned for the foreman, and the foreman trotted over To Cheng Xiao's side.

"What's the matter with that man? How do you work? What if you cut your blood? Why didn't you treat it? You can see that the wound hasn't healed yet." Cheng Xiao seemed very worried about the miners, and the foreman went over to ask After a few words, I immediately came back to report to Cheng Xiao.

"Qi reported to the mine owner, he said he accidentally cut himself, it's all right, he didn't dirty the jade, please rest assured." The foreman returned that Cheng Xiao was relieved, he didn't ask any more questions, but looked at Shen Qiqi pointed to the steps above, signaling for them to leave.

Shen Qiqi didn't speak. Looking at the huge quarry and Cheng Xiao's words just now, she understood why weeds turned into poisonous weeds. She recalled that the flat ground behind the door they came in just now must be a piece of mud , or was shoveled into a place where there was no grass by Cheng Xiao.

Shen Qiqi followed Cheng Xiao back to the steps, Cheng Xiao used the lifting platform to go up again, and Shen Qiqi put the stone in the small bag handed over by the foreman, put it in his hand and walked up the steps by himself, and Looking around while walking, I found that the management here seems to be extremely lax. Except for a few necessary short positions, it seems that no one is watching. How does Cheng Xiao manage such a large miner system? She visually estimates that there are at least two to three hundred miners here.

"How are you going to manage them? How can you guarantee that they won't be lazy?" Shen Qiqi knew it was the last thing to ask, but she still couldn't help asking curiously.

"It's very simple. The two of them bring the ore they have mined to the foreman every day. If there is not enough ore, they will have no food every day. If it is too little, their wages will be deducted. If things go on like this, who would dare to be lazy? In addition to wages, there will be other rewards, so how can those miners not work hard, otherwise they will not even have food."

Cheng Xiao's management theory makes Shen Qiqi feel a bit like the current enterprise management, but it's just rougher. It seems that Cheng Xiao does have a brain. Although he lost a leg, he seems to live a life that is easier than many people. Okay, but the sternness in his eyes has always been thickly accumulated, and he refuses to let go.

Shen Qiqi felt that the quarry might be underground because there were no vents, so it was very oppressive and the air circulation was not good. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he would have difficulty breathing. When Cheng Xiao finished speaking, he walked out of the quarry , returned to the ground, when she walked out of the door, and saw those towering trees again, she felt very kind.

Breathing the fresh and slightly humid air, Shen Qiqi couldn't help thinking of those workers in the quarry. They were digging jade all day long, and what they inhaled was dust. Can't help but sank again.

"Is it uncomfortable? If you feel uncomfortable, take this. This is a sachet made of mint and vanilla. It feels uncomfortable after entering the quarry. Smelling this will make you feel much better." Cheng Xiao has become accustomed to going in and out of the quarry, he Seeing Shen Qiqi's expression, he thought that Shen Qiqi had inhaled too much dust just now and felt uncomfortable, so he took out a sachet and handed it to Shen Qiqi, who took it.

"Do those miners inside also have this kind of sachet?" Shen Qiqi opened the sachet in his hand, which contained fresh mint leaves and unknown herbs, subconsciously asked this sentence, asked out I also find it ridiculous, how could Cheng Xiao let the miners inside have such a sachet?

"Of course the people inside don't have such thoughts. Only I can configure this kind of sachet. Do you feel sorry for the poor miners inside and think they are working hard?" Cheng Xiao's tone became indifferent and severe, and Shen Qiqi Knowing that she might have violated his taboo, but she didn't regret it, the miners inside looked very pale, and all of them were yellow and thin.

"There is no one who doesn't think they are not pitiful. I just feel so uncomfortable after going in for a while. How can they live in it for many years. Even if they have two taels of silver every month, their life will not be good."

Shen Qiqi did not hesitate to speak for the miners inside, he felt that those silent miners might not come here voluntarily.

"Of course their life is hard, but as long as they are hard, their family members will be happy. There is nothing perfect in this world. Don't you think you must be perfect as a queen? You think your life is just a little Don't you have any shortcomings? Even if you are a queen, you will have shortcomings, so don't try to find perfection for others."

Cheng Xiao's face suddenly changed, and he warned Shen Qiqi coldly.Shen Qiqi felt that Cheng Xiao was always hostile towards him, so he continued to argue with him without distinction.
