Upon hearing Cao Guangzhi's question, Zhang Ji sighed, "Do you think I don't want to mine more ore and bring it back? But this is basically the limit."
"If we want to increase production, we have to add more workers, and at a conservative estimate, at least 1000 more people are needed."
"1000 people?" Cao Guangzhi pondered briefly and then nodded, "Alright, no problem, I'll help you coordinate that."
Zhang Ji was somewhat surprised to hear the other party say this, and then spoke somewhat displeased, "Didn't you say before that the 5000 people you've given me were already the limit? How can you now easily provide an additional 1000 people?"
"Cough! Don't think that I was making things difficult for you before."
Cao Guangzhi hurriedly explained, "Yesterday, when you asked me for people, 5000 was indeed the limit, given how dangerous the wilderness is nowadays, which you know, so you can imagine how hard it is to recruit people for mining."
