Because Lin Xiaoxi was responsible for the siege of the village, she met Zhou Wenyuan while on patrol.

With her help, all the grains and rice were transported to the mine.

Many of them were Liu Feng's men, so naturally they had no way of getting the corresponding good rice.

For Liu Feng, anyone who worked for him could collect the granary key from Mu Wanqing when needed, because only his wife had the key to the granary.

Although those who work here at Liufen can also receive silver, more people still prefer good rice.

Sometimes you can choose to receive some meat.

In addition, Liu Feng would also give out rewards when happy events occurred. As time went on, many families in the village now had a lot of surplus.

"How much salary can a chief clerk like him earn? I'm afraid he can't even afford to feed so many workers."

"Yes, although the mine has only been operating for a short time, this chief clerk has already spent dozens of taels of silver. He is probably short of money now."

Liu Feng nodded and looked at Wang Dingliu again.

"I've met Mr. Zhou a few times. He's a kind person and I've never seen him bully workers. I even saw some workers injured, and he allowed them to rest."

"He is indeed a good official who loves the people."

Liu Feng nodded again, but this time, he felt a little amused in his heart.

Being a chief clerk, one could only make a pitiful few dozen taels of silver a year. There wasn't much profit to be made, and he himself was so honest.

No wonder he was assigned here to guard the mine.

If you are in the officialdom, you must understand how to survive in it.

If you are too kind in the officialdom, sometimes you will only end up losing your life.

Liu Feng admires people like Zhou Wenyuan, but he doesn't quite agree with his approach.

Remember this: when the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
