Exiled in a Famine Year, the Peasant Girl is Spoiled by a Powerful Official

Shen Xinli transmigrated one day to become a seven-year-old peasant girl. Originally, she held no hope for her new life, but the care and love from her family changed her perspective.

Transmi...

Chapter 63 Pie in the Sky

After about half a cup of tea, Chen Xinli, her father and others were let down.

"Aniu, why are you sending the child here again?"

A hunchbacked old man asked with a frown.

"If you don't send the children here, are you going to raise them?"

Xu Aniu said unhappily, then left.

The old man stopped talking, looked at the tender little faces on the ground, and sighed deeply in his heart.

These children will soon become dry bones.

Ten years ago, Linshui Village was indeed called Linshui Village.

Until a thunderbolt accidentally split a mountain, revealing a gold mine.

Linshui Village was renamed Gold Rush Village.

Wang Lizheng took over the entire village and persuaded the villagers to dig the mountain to make gold.

At the beginning, many people in the village opposed it, and Wang Tuozi was one of them. He was the cousin of Wang Lizheng.

But after more than a year of experimentation, Wang Lizheng finally mastered alchemy.

The young people in the village went completely crazy.

Mining hard every day.

After all, compared to digging for food in the fields every day and directly refining gold, the latter will naturally bring faster returns.

Seven years ago, due to an accident, many young and middle-aged people in the village were buried under the mine.

Li Zheng Wang was reluctant to give up the gold mine, and the villagers were reluctant to give up their good life.

So, everyone brainstormed and came up with a clever idea: secretly trick men from the surrounding areas to come and mine.

Xu Aniu was happy to receive this task.

He took his men and a few mules and went to various villages in the name of a foreign merchant to collect grain, cloth, etc.

He also mentioned that the owner was from the capital and was in urgent need of a large number of farmers at Wuhuan Villa, two hundred miles away.

They were paid twenty taels of silver a year, with food and lodging provided, and all they had to do was guard the master's house.

In addition, you can also be responsible for cultivating crops in the fields and forests.

The farmers were immediately excited when they heard the news.

"Is there such a good thing in the world?"

Most people can't believe it.

But these days, the brave will die of overeating, and the timid will die of starvation.

After the first registration, the second and third followed.

Moreover, each of them could advance two taels of silver and keep it at home.

The remaining silver and money will naturally be taken back by the farmers when the term expires.

No matter how you look at it, this is pie in the sky!

More than fifty men happily followed Xu Aniu away, but they didn't know that hell was waiting for them.

When Xu Aniu returned, he thought he would be rewarded, but he was scolded by Wang Lizheng.

Because how much food can you buy with one hundred taels of silver!

What a waste of money.

Xu Aniu was thinking about Wang Guihua, the daughter of the village head.

Thinking about my sweetheart day and night, I came up with a good idea.

He directly sent people out to spread the news.

It is said that the first batch of farmers who went there often received rewards from the master. I heard that some farmers were promoted to several levels of security guards because of their hard work.

Others were rewarded by the steward with a maid, and were directly settled down, with a secure place to stay for the rest of their lives.

Nowadays, Wuhuan Villa is still short of people!

Hurry up, first come first served.

God sent me a pie. They didn’t catch it the first time, so how could they miss it the second time!

So, whether the old men are married or the young men are unmarried, they all have a dream.

Without any prior arrangement, they all headed south to Wuhuan Villa.

And whenever I pass by Linshui Village.

Xu Aniu warmly invited him to rest in the village.

When they opened their eyes again, they found themselves tied up and no one had paid any attention to them for several days.

Until the men who had been hungry for several days were transported to the mining area.

Every day, only when a certain amount of ore is dug up will food and water be given.

The farmers, who had been hungry for several days, didn't care about anything else and hurriedly waved hammers to mine.

However, it is not so easy to open a mine.

At the end of the day, there were countless blisters on my hands, and few of them opened up.

The men also thought about fighting back.

But eat less and move more every day.

I really don't have that kind of energy.

Furthermore, the people of Linshui Village have been blinded by money and actually forced farmers to mine in their underwear.

Over time, the men became as thin as lightning because they were no longer clothed.

Even the strongest person can't stand such fatigue.

In the mining area, some people died of starvation, some died of exhaustion, some were beaten to death for being disobedient, and some died of illness.

Kid, you won't survive more than a month in the mines.

Therefore, when Wang Tuozi saw Chen Xinli, Shen Jinlin and other children, he thought of his eldest grandson and couldn't help but sigh.

"You guys, take care of yourselves!"

The reason why Chen Xinli and the others did not starve for a few days outside was because there was a serious shortage of labor in the mining area recently.

In recent years, accidents have occurred one after another in the mining area, and many laborers have been buried in them.

The number of people mining has decreased, and Wang Lizheng is very anxious.

That's golden gold!

How can we allow them to be buried in the mining area?

As a result, the act of recruiting people in Linshui Village became more rampant.

The villagers in the surrounding area disappeared one after another. All the merchants passing by, as well as those with families, were sent to the mining area by Wang Lizheng, even the children were no exception.

In the evening, Wang Lizheng was overjoyed when he heard that a group of exiled prisoners were passing through the town.

Even God is helping him!

He was still wondering why there couldn't be more prisoners.

However, when he thought that he was an exiled prisoner, although he felt a little uneasy, he quickly calmed down.

The only thing that made Li Zheng Wang a little worried was the police.

I want to give it a try.

Unexpectedly, one of the officers was lying on the ground, and the other was stupid.

Li Zheng Wang happily brought the person back to Linshui Village.
