Chapter 179: Zuanshan Patriarch
Huangmao Liu Yuan and the gang of miners who caused trouble have all been arrested and locked up. Lu Yuan's order to Zhou Qing is to kill them all, leaving no one alive.
There were more than 3,000 miners led by Liu Yuan who caused trouble, accounting for one-seventh of the total number of miners in the mine.
Don’t say that Lu Yuan didn’t give them a chance, because this was not the first time they had caused trouble.
This was not a normal strike to demand wages, because according to what Lu Yuan knew, Zhou Qing was a very fair person and took good care of the miners. Not only did he pay the monthly wages on time, but he would also advance the wages if there were special circumstances.
For those who perform well, Zhou Qing will also take the initiative to increase their salaries at his discretion, which makes him a good leader.
Liu Yuan and his gang have caused malicious trouble many times and organized strikes because they are greedy.
When they chose to cause trouble with Liu Yuan many times and stood against Lu Yuan, the end that awaited them was death.
What's more, he met Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan is not the indecisive Zhou Qing. He will kill when necessary.
After all, even if the troublemakers were released back to Feilong City, they would inevitably harbor resentment and would cause trouble and play dirty tricks on me every now and then in the future. Would the order of Feilong City still be preserved? People like Liu Yuan should be killed, leaving no one alive.
Zhou Qing said, "But City Lord, if we kill all these miners, how will we work in the mine in the future? These miners are all cultivators, and they are all free men. If we kill them all, people will inevitably panic. Who will dare to come to our mine to work in the future?"
Zhou Qing’s worry is not without reason. If Liu Yuan and his gang are killed, the remaining miners will inevitably become suspicious. What if that affects their work?
Lu Yuan said: "Then it depends on your and my methods. For the remaining obedient and hardworking people, we will increase their salary by two more spirit stones per month from today onwards, which can be deducted from the spirit stones saved by Liu Yuan and his gang.
If you are still not satisfied, then just fire all the miners. Who says you need miners to work? "
Zhou Qing: “???”
What does that mean? Then, Lu Yuan looked behind him. This time when he came to the Fire Crystal Mine, in addition to coming here himself, he also brought his two Mountain Drilling Dragon apprentices with him.
Because when he came here, he suddenly thought of these two mountain-drilling dragons that had great body strength and were particularly good at digging holes and smashing rocks, so why not make the best use of them? Now that he had such a large mine, wouldn't it be a good idea to send these two here to work?
This Fire Crystal Mine has endless mountains to dig and endless mines to drill. Is this a company? This is simply a resort for mountain dragons, a new concept paradise!
Lu Yuan looked at Zhou Qing and said: The employees you originally recruited were unwilling to work. Fortunately, I have trained two willing ones, and they don’t even ask for wages. How about that?
Lu Yuan said: "These two are called Zuanshan Dragons."
It was also the first time that Zhou Qing saw a beast species like the Mountain Drilling Dragon.
"Is this a monster?"
The two mountain dragons became furious after hearing what Zhou Qing said and glared at him.
If you are uneducated, don't talk! Who are you calling a monster? You have never seen the ancient mythical beast, the mountain dragon, right?
The two brothers got angry and slammed their tails on the ground, sending Zhou Qing flying in an instant.
Zuanshan Dragon: I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words. What should you call me brothers? Zhou Qing was startled and apologized quickly: "Zuanshan Ancestor! I was reckless."
The two mountain dragons were finally satisfied.
That’s more like it. In Daluo Sect, I won’t argue with you if you call us Zuanshan Dragon. But once you leave Daluo Sect, you have to be Zuanshan Ancestor!
These two mountain-drilling dragons are quite powerful. Zhou Qing has just experienced it himself, but he is still worried.
"My Lord City Lord, our Feilong City Fire Crystal Mine is very large. Can we rely on these two mountain drillers...old ancestors?"
Previously, the work efficiency of more than 20,000 miners was not enough. Can it be done relying on these two drill dragons alone?
How much fire crystal ore can be mined in a day relying solely on them?
Lu Yuan patted the heads of the two mountain-drilling dragons and said, "A Zuan, show him what you can do."
“Woo!”
The two drilling dragons twisted their bodies and walked towards the mine, then began digging in front of Zhou Qing.
The body of the Drillosaur is covered with scales, and its front claws are extremely sharp. The extremely hard mineral soil in front of it is as easy as paper and is easily separated. A light swing of the meteor hammer on its tail will shatter large pieces of ore, and then a sweep of the tail will sweep away the split ore.
The two drilling dragons started working on both sides, digging frantically as if they were in an empty space.
But in just a few moments, a huge mine had been dug out and several tons of ore were dug out.
It's like a walking large mining machine.
Zhou Qing was dumbfounded.
What kind of work efficiency is this? This mountain-drilling dragon is more efficient than all the miners before it combined.
Previously, the miners in the Qi Refining Stage were not strong enough, and the ore soil was hard, so it was difficult to mine and the mining speed was slow. More than 20,000 people could only mine more than 20 million kilograms of ore a day.
Compared with this huge mine, the mining speed is terribly slow, but these two drilling dragons have completed the work of more than 20,000 people in a day in just a few moments.
Can these two guys really be worth ten thousand alone?
Lu Yuan originally brought two drilling dragons to the mine just to give it a try. He had guessed that their digging speed would be very fast, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
In this way, this fire crystal mine can generate a large amount of profit if it is handed over to these two guys. There is no need to hire workers. These two guys can do all the work and even save on wages.
work to earn a living?
What is part-time work? Part-time work is the act of doing something you don't like to earn money.
Doing something you like without asking for money is called interest. Look at these two mountain dragons, how happy they are digging the ground?
Lu Yuan also satisfies his apprentice's interests and hobbies.
Zhou Qing asked Lu Yuan: "City Lord, these two mountain-drilling ancestors are indeed fast, but if they continue to work at this rate, how long can they finish the work in a day?"
The work efficiency of a two-headed drill is high, but high efficiency and long time are the key. It would be a pity if it can only work for a short time.
Lu Yuan stretched out a finger.
Zhou Qing: "One hour?"
Lu Yuan shook his head.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Zhou Qing: "Can you do it for a day?"
Lu Yuan: "Keep doing it."
Digging holes, soil and knocking stones are their innate abilities and hobbies.
Besides, the diet of the mountain dragon is stone and ore. Digging and digging holes is a relaxation for them. Digging, eating and relaxing at the same time, isn't that just doing it all the time? Lu Yuan suddenly thought of something.
Wait! Did I invent a perpetual motion machine?
Aren't these two drill dragons perpetual motion machines? However, what Zhou Qing said made sense. For such a large mine, with only two drill dragons digging here, the speed was not fast enough, and it was not powerful enough.
Let's look back and see if we can draw out a few more Mountain Dragons. It would be best if we could get an army of Mountain Dragons to dig here, then we can make money every minute.
…
At the same time, in the mine cell on the other side, Liu Yuan and a large number of striking miners were imprisoned here. They had no idea what was happening outside.
Liu Yuan was slapped by Lu Yuan and was seriously injured, and the other miners also became demoralized.
They didn't expect that the new city lord would be so ruthless and decisive. The leader was seriously injured. And when the new city lord said he would kill them all in two days, some of the miners had already regretted their decision.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have made a fuss. Actually, now that I think about it, the current salary is good enough."
"Yeah, he won't really kill us, right? I don't want to die."
Listening to the miners saying this, the seriously injured Liu Yuan said: "What are you afraid of? What are you afraid of? I don't believe that Lu Yuan can really kill us all. At most, he is just trying to scare you.
Don't you think about it? Thousands of us have been arrested. How can the mine operate without so many people? In the end, it still depends on us. Don't be fooled by him."
Liu Yuan continued, "Don't worry, if he wants to kill you, he has to kill me first! As long as I, the leader, am alive, why are you so scared? As long as I am still alive, I guarantee that you will be fine!"
After Liu Yuan finished speaking, his face suddenly froze, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood. His head tilted and he fell asleep, sleeping like a baby.
The other miners were stunned.
"What's wrong with him?"
Someone investigated the condition inside Liu Yuan's body.
"Dead, he's dead!"
"Fuck!"
It turned out that Liu Yuan had just been slapped by Lu Yuan outside. He was only at the Foundation Establishment stage. How could he possibly withstand a slap from Lu Yuan at the Nascent Soul stage?
That palm strike shattered all his internal organs, leaving him hanging on with only one breath.
Science shows that when a person is suddenly seriously injured, the brain will secrete a substance called endorphin to numb the pain, causing the pain to lag behind. In layman's terms, the person is seriously injured, but the body has not yet reacted.
Immortal cultivators have stronger physiques, so Liu Yuan has held on until now. His previous state was actually that of a dead person, and his body had not yet reacted. Plus, he had not finished saying any harsh words, so he was holding his breath. But just as he finished saying the harsh words, his last breath was released, and he spiraled up to heaven on the spot.
Liu Yuanguang's sudden death made the miners even more frightened.
Spicy! The leader is really dead!
