Eternal traitor

Chapter 187 Inside Story
"Niu can't, thank you, my lord, thank you, my lord."

While a group of people were still shocked by the destruction of the Ma family, Niu Huihui knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Hua at this time, three times of "bang bang bang" in a row, without any discount.

"Why are you doing this??"

Li Hua smiled and helped the old man in front of him up, pretending to be puzzled and asking.

"My lords don't know that 15 years ago, the dog was hit by Ma San's horse and died on the spot. A certain man went to Ma's family to ask for an explanation, but he was locked up. The family lost all their wealth to save his life. , but it has been 15 years since here, and the Ma family has a sworn feud with a certain person."

Even when he spoke, Niu would not have strong anger in his mouth. He hated the Ma family. If he had the chance, he would even kill the Ma family, but he had no ability. If the child was killed, he would have to suffer all kinds of humiliation. He was insulted by the Ma family in every possible way. It is a shame and a shame for a man to live like this.Now that Ma's family is dead, and his vengeance has been avenged, I'm afraid everyone in this mine will be happy for days with such joyful news, right? ?
"Hey, death is the most important thing, and you are also a poor person. If you want to thank, thank those bandits."

Li Hua pretended to be embarrassed, and tried to persuade him.

"Yes, yes, the villain has lost his composure. Sir, please come inside."

With a bright smile on Niu Hui's face, he quickly asked Li Hua to go inside.While walking, he also introduced the situation inside.It turns out that the people here have task quotas every month. If the task is not completed, there will be no food. There are no farmers in the house. If they want to eat, they must rely on supplies from Fenglan County. Usually, there are horse-drawn carriages from Fenglan County every month. The food supplies were sent to a distant place, and the group of them took the broken car to pick them up. Going back and forth was a kind of torture.However, this group of people depended on others for food, and had nowhere to complain when they were wronged.

Walking into the wooden fence, Li Hua's eyes suddenly opened up. Originally, he thought that the mine was directly inside, but what he didn't expect was that the size of the inside was unbelievable.The two mountains were reclaimed, and half of them came out, extending several kilometers inward.In the distance, layer by layer spread toward the inside like a spiral, each layer has a width of more than ten meters, and sweaty miners worked hard to dig the ore inside.Looking at the new faces, a group of miners just took a second look, and then continued to get busy. They have heavy work every day, and it will be a problem for you to eat before finishing the work.

Most of these miners are gathered together by more than a dozen people. Some are dedicated to digging stones, some are dedicated to loading cars, and some are dedicated to transportation. The division of labor is clear at a glance, and the efficiency is really good.

After walking for hundreds of meters, Li Hua followed the cattle and came to the residence at the foot of the mountain. The dilapidated room was made of gravel and wooden boards, and the quality was very disappointing. But even so, it was great to be able to come back here to rest and eat. The happiest moment of the day for these more than 300 miners.

The outermost house, which is a little better, is the room of the mine owner, Niu Huihui, and walked into this dilapidated hut.The cattle will not rush to entertain the guests. Hot water is the only hospitality here. As for the food, special miners need to be sent to process it. Even if it is made, it is coarse food.

Sitting on a wooden board, feeling the shaking under his buttocks, Li Hua got up helplessly, he was afraid that he would fall if he couldn't sit still. "Show me your ledger."

"My lord, please wait a moment."

The cow would not quickly take out a yellowed wooden board in the corner, and then ran out again. Under the doubts of everyone, the cow would not move a big stone from the door, and then put the stone under his feet again , Standing on tiptoe, the roof that was only two meters high was removed.

"This is??"

Looking at the two densely written wooden boards, Li Hua looked at Niu Huihui suspiciously.

"This is the ore that the villain provided to Fenglan County after he took office. Every transaction has been recorded. The one on the left is the fake account made by Ma County Order, and the one on the right is the real account book."

Every time after making fake accounts, Niu will not quietly record the real bills in his hidden "new account book", just to give the Ma family a chance to be punished one day The family should also disgust this group of people.Now that the Ma family has been wiped out, there is no need for him to continue.

"really."

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Hua's mouth. The Ma family was too greedy. When they controlled Fenglan County, they didn't forget to stretch their hands here to search.Of course, it's not about searching for money, but about... ore.

These iron ores are necessary for making weapons, and they are worth a lot.It is traded every six months, half of the share is recorded on the fake account book, but the ore that is more than twice the tax is actually transported, and then quietly disposed of.According to Li Hua's estimate, the ore business alone can earn the Ma family 4 taels of silver every year.As for why the Ma family didn't have so much money after being speculated, it was entirely because the Ma family was too capable of spending money, and those who were extravagant had no worries at all.

"How's the food here?"

"Three meals a day, coarse grains, and old grains to keep you full."

"How about rest?"

"One hour during the day and three hours at night."

"How about the salary??"

"Officers and soldiers have [-] cash per month, miners have [-] cash per month, and XX has [-] cash per month. For accounting, officers and soldiers have [-] cash per month, miners have [-] cash per month, and XX has [-] tael of silver per month."

"Someone probably understands the situation here, is there limestone here?"

"Limestone?? Iron ore is produced here. If it is limestone, it is not far away."

"That's it." Li Hua looked at the coolies working in the distance, and thought a little more in his heart, "Call all the miners and stop what they are doing."

"Yes."

Niu will not feel that his hard life is coming to an end, and he can go home to see his elderly parents after the death of Ma's family.Thinking of happy things, the exhaustion of the day quickly disappeared, and even the pace of the feet was a little faster.After walking out of the door and to the left side of the room, Niu Hui would pick up a wooden stick and hit the hanging iron plate vigorously.

"Dangdang..."

The clear voice echoed in this wide mountain, the busy miners stopped their footsteps one after another, and the mutual summoners put down their work, and rushed towards here with unsteady steps.It's obvious that it's not time for dinner, but the "number" is knocked. I don't know what happened. Maybe it has something to do with the few "big shots" who came just now? ?I hope this group of people will not ask for anything else.
