Chapter 180: Mine Reform, Inspection of Feilong City
After Liu Yuan uttered his last arrogant words, he died on the spot, and the remaining miners were terrified.
Didn't you say that you would guarantee that we would be fine as long as you were still alive? Then he died right on the spot? Now that Liu Yuan was dead, the remaining members of the Qinglong Gang, Liu Yuan's former confidants, and the miners who organized the riot were at a loss as to what to do.
"Everyone, what should we do now? Boss Liu is dead, who is willing to step out and take the lead?"
"The heroes cannot be without a leader for a day. Our struggle is not over yet. How about you come?"
"No, no, no, forget it. I'm just a small character. How about you come?"
"I don't have enough experience, so don't talk nonsense."
Among the remaining miners are Liu Yuan's close confidants. If Liu Yuan had died in the past, they would have definitely fought for the position of the next Qinglong Gang leader. But under the current situation, who dares to take the lead?
The new city lord is the one who stands out the most. The previous one, Liu Yuan, is dead. Who dares to show off at this time? A group of rabble pushed each other around in the cell of the mine.
"Stop arguing, we should unite now. Boss Liu is dead, let's discuss what to do next."
"Liu Yuan's last words before he died were that the city lord and Zhou Qing didn't dare to touch us, and at most they would just lock us up for a few days.
Don't panic, as long as we unite, nothing will happen. After all, there are thousands of us. Can he really kill us all? We will be able to get out in a few days. After all, the mine still needs us to continue working."
Finally, the miners came to this conclusion and fantasized about getting out in a few days. Unfortunately, they didn't know that their positions had been completely taken over by two mountain dragons.
Even the two mountain dragons were a hundred times more efficient than them, and they didn't even ask for any wages, so these guys who had been causing trouble were laid off.
The only thing waiting for these troublemakers was the last meal after execution. A few days later, these miners were taken out by Zhou Qing and his men.
At first they were complacent, thinking that the new city lord and Zhou Qing had surrendered and that there was no one to do the work in the mine and so they came to ask them to do it. Some of the miners even clamored for Zhou Qing to come out and continue negotiating the price.
The mine manager sneered and said, "Manager Zhou will not see you, but you will be able to see Liu Yuan soon."
The miners didn't understand what was going on until they passed through the mine and saw the drill rig in operation. They were all dumbfounded. Only then did they realize how outrageous it was to want to raise the price at this time, and they had already been replaced by scabs.
There is only death waiting for them.
These miners were terrified when they realized something bad was going to happen, and they took the initiative to lower the price, but it was too late.
This group of fickle and greedy people would be a disaster if they continued to stay in the mine, so the mine manager cooperated with the masters of Feilong City Lord's Mansion to escort them all to Feilong City and killed them all at the entrance of the vegetable market to set an example.
Of course, in order to stabilize the other hard-working workers in the mine, Zhou Qing also followed what City Lord Lu said and raised the wages for the remaining majority of workers.
The monthly wages saved from killing these troublesome workers were just enough to give extra money to those honest miners. Lu Yuan even asked Zhou Qing to distribute pills.
The pills that Lu Yuan distributed included Nine-Turn Recovery Pills and Qi and Blood Pills.
Zhou Qing was also stunned when he received this large amount of pills. He asked in a trembling voice: "City, City Lord, are you sure you want to give these pills to the miners? The price of these pills in the Alchemist Alliance is that one pill is equivalent to their monthly salary. Isn't this a loss of money?"
Even a 10 billion subsidy wouldn't dare to give out this much! If Zhou Qing didn't know that the new city lord was at the Nascent Soul stage, he would have really suspected that this city lord Lu had lost his mind.
These miners only earn a few spirit stones a month? Isn't it a loss to subsidize these pills?
Lu Yuan told him not to worry about it and just send it.
These pills are naturally extremely expensive when sold in the Alchemist Alliance, but Lu Yuan himself is the source manufacturer. Now after killing Liu Yuan and his gang, there are less than 20,000 people left in the entire mine.
It doesn't cost him much medicinal resources to provide them with pills. His Daluo Sect can refine 100,000 pills in one furnace. For Yao Xuan, refining nine furnaces at the same time would be enough to feed the miners in these mines for a year.
Providing these miners with Nine-Turn Recovery Pills and ordinary Qi and Blood Pills has extremely low costs but huge benefits.
Previously, Zhang Feifei relied on sufficient elixirs to advance from the top 5,000 in the outer sect to the top 100 in one breath during the Lingjian Sect trial. With sufficient elixirs, the work efficiency of each miner can be increased by dozens or even hundreds of times.
If these Qi Refining stage miners could dig 1,000 kilograms of fire crystal ore a day, they could bring in 100 spirit stones of income to the mine a day.
After Lu Yuan gave them these pills, each person's efficiency was conservatively increased by 20 times, and one person's mining speed could be increased from 1,000 kilograms of fire crystal ore per day to 20,000 kilograms of fire crystal ore per day.
It brings 2,000 spirit stones of income to the mine every day, which not only increases the mining speed, but also the strength of the miners.
These miners were all servants outside. These pills were sold at extremely high prices by the Alchemist Alliance. They couldn't afford them outside. Now Lu Yuan gave them these free pills. Wouldn't they be devoted and work hard for him? Not only did it increase production capacity, but it also won people's hearts, killing two birds with one stone.
Lu Yuan wanted to create an atmosphere where as long as one was willing to work hard, the new city lord would naturally give a raise, and even provide elixirs that one could not afford outside. If one worked hard in the mine, one's treatment could even exceed that of some outer disciples of the sect.
As for rebellion, don't dream about it. The gang led by Liu Yuan before is a lesson for us. City Lord Lu uses ruthless methods. He will kill one if there is one, and if there are three thousand, he will kill three thousand. It is well known that there are crowds of people in the vegetable market.
After all, the previous Liu Yuan incident had already demonstrated to them what the consequences would be if they caused trouble in the mine, and no one would go against a good life.
And everyone knew that after Liu Yuan and the others died, the wages originally paid to them became salary subsidies for the remaining workers. No one dared to mess around, because as long as someone did so, after the city lord dealt with them, the remaining wages would increase again.
You don't want your wages to become other people's bonuses, do you?
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
However, the thorough reform of the mine this time is thanks to the Qinglong Gang and Liu Yuan who led the riot.
Salute to the legendary reformer, Liu Yuan!
After experiencing this incident, not only did the people at Lu Yuan's Feilong City Fire Crystal Mine not become panic-stricken, but their cohesion was even greater than before.
After receiving the elixir, these miners felt like they were given an injection of chicken blood. After taking the qi and blood elixir, the blood in their bodies boiled, and the mining shovels, spades, and stone hammers in their hands all produced sparks, and the mine's output increased rapidly.
Moreover, as time went by, the news of giving free pills to miners in the Fire Crystal Mine gradually spread, and Zhou Qing gradually found that it became easier to recruit workers, and even many abstract things happened.
…
On the other side, after inspecting and dealing with the situation at the mine, Lu Yuan took another walk around Feilong City.
When he was strolling around Feilong City, Chen Nanxuan and Xiao Huo also came. The two brothers came on the sect's flying beast, the Dukong Qinghe.
There are only three days left for Xiao Huo's three-year term. His master has been to Feilong City and has not returned yet, so they came to Feilong City to look for him.
After meeting them in Feilong City, Master and his two companions happened to be shopping together.
After all, this will be the city of Daluo Sect in the future, so it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the situation in this city.
After some investigation, Lu Yuan roughly understood the situation in Feilong City.
Feilong City is a large city in Daqian, with a permanent population of hundreds of millions. There are also many immortal cultivation sects nearby, so there are two alchemist alliances in the south and north of Feilong City alone.
The two alchemist alliances were also built on a huge scale and were magnificent, basically similar to Blue Star Super Malls. You should know that this is just an alchemist alliance in a small country and city in Beizhou, and it is not even the alchemist alliance of the capital of Daqian, yet it is of such a scale.
This shows how huge the Alchemist Alliance is. Such a small place can spend a lot of money to build such a large-scale building. It must be that the medicine business is profitable.
