Chapter 148 Before Mining
Yan Luo took out a night-shining pearl as big as a bowl from the space. The light of the night-shining pearl made the scene in the passage clearly visible.
I saw a piece of silver metal material exposed under her sword.
She placed the night pearl high up, wrapped her hands with spiritual power, and scratched the metal for a while.
The metal revealed its appearance.
The metal with a silvery sheen looks like a large piece of silver.
Yan Luo was delighted,
this is Yinchen steel!
Yinchen steel is a rare refining material in the world of immortal cultivation, and the weapons made from it are extremely sharp.
I didn't expect that there would be such mineral deposits in Lotus Peak.
Yinchen steel is a piece of irregular solid. In the cracks between each piece, there are scattered black round beans, slightly larger than soybeans.
This is the smelling demon bean that the white fox mentioned.
Yan Luo was unable to dig out so much minerals in a short time, so he only picked some demon-smelling beans.
Then go home.
Mining requires a large number of people.
Yan Luo found Yan Feng and told him about Yinchen Steel. Yan Feng said hurriedly,
"Then I'll arrange for someone to go there right away."
Yan Luo stopped him.
"Go to the village chief and ask him to recruit strong young men to work in the mine. We will provide them with three meals a day, four days off a month, and one 50-kilogram bag of white flour or 50-kilogram bag of rice per month."
Now paper money has almost become waste paper and can no longer play any role. For ordinary people, being able to have food to eat is the most important thing.
As time went by, more and more animals in the mountains became monsters, and hunting became increasingly difficult. The villagers could only eat wild vegetables every day. Many families were malnourished and became as thin as sticks.
While young people eat out, their families can still eat white flour and rice, which is a very good benefit for people in troubled times.
Yan Feng hesitated for a moment and said,
"Sister, is it unsafe to let outsiders mine such an important thing?"
Yan Luo said,
"Our disciples of Fuguang Palace should focus on cultivation. It is better to hand over these miscellaneous matters. We can arrange five disciples to be on duty there. This will not only ensure the safety of the mine, but also prevent those villagers from having ulterior motives."
"Okay, then listen to my sister. I'll arrange it right away."
Yan Feng went to Liangshan Village in person the next day.
When going down the mountain, the white tiger carried him all the way, and when they reached the water, the mountain served as his boat.
Originally, he was scheduled to go alone, but when Yin Yin heard that Yan Feng was going to Liangshan Village, she said she missed home and wanted to go with Yan Feng.
Yan Feng thought that since she was the daughter of the village chief, she might be able to help, so he did not refuse.
The white tiger went down the mountain very quickly, shuttling quickly through the woods. Yin Yin rode in front of the white tiger, and Yan Feng sat behind it.
Yinyin nervously pulled the white tiger's fur, and the white tiger complained to Yan Feng in his mind sea,
"Master, why do you want to bring this woman? She always pulls my fur, it's so annoying~"
Yinyin wanted to throw herself into his arms, but Yanfeng said,
If you are afraid, don't follow.
Yin Yin had no choice but to pretend not to be afraid.
Despite this, she would be very happy when she thought that Yan Feng was sitting behind her and the two of them were riding on the same tiger.
Walking on the crocodile's hard and broad back in the water, Yinyin felt it was incredible. She said in admiration,
"Brother Yan, you are so awesome. Tigers and crocodiles all listen to you."
Yan Feng said,
"They didn't listen to me, they listened to my sister. I just benefited from it."
Yinyin asked curiously,
"Is Sister Luo more powerful than you?"
"Yeah, she's the most amazing person I've ever met."
Yin Yin smiled but didn't take it seriously.
She felt that Yan Feng must respect and trust his sister, which was why he thought his sister was so capable.
It's like the kids all think their parents are awesome.
Dashan was moving very fast in the water. When they reached the foot of Liangshan Village, he got off the "boat" and went up the mountain with Yinyin.
Liangshan Village is formed by the merger of several villages on the mountain here.
After the rain, many houses were destroyed, and the small population gathered would be bullied by the wild beasts in the mountains, so they agreed to form a village together on the outskirts of the mountains to help each other.
The youngest and most capable father of Yin Yin will be the co-village chief.
Their houses are built on the hillside and are made of simple stone and wood.
Yan Feng went directly to Yin Yin's house.
Yinyin's father is only forty years old, and Yinyin is twenty years old this year. She has an older brother who is twenty-two years old and a younger brother who is eighteen years old. Yinyin is the only girl in the family and is very much loved.
When Yin Yin's father heard about Yan Feng's purpose, he said happily,
"This is good news. I will hold a meeting right away to tell everyone."
He rang the bell in front of the village, and about half an hour later, someone came from every household.
He loudly announced Yan Feng's purpose of coming, and then said,
"If you want to go, please sign up quickly."
Below, a woman curled her lips,
"This is too stingy, only giving us a bag of rice a month, and a bag of rice is only worth a little over a hundred yuan, which means we only get a little over a hundred yuan a month, how cruel!"
"That's right, even capitalists are not so black-hearted. When we were working outside, we could earn at least 4,000 to 5,000 yuan a month!"
"Four or five thousand is thirty bags of rice. Considering everyone's good relationship with Palace Master Yan, we'll give you a discount and only charge twenty bags."
"Palace Master Yan, how about twenty bags of rice? Don't you have an entire sect? You don't have even this little bit, do you?"
When Yan Feng heard the doubts and bargaining from some of the people below, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
As expected, greed is insatiable.
It's the end of the world, and there are still so many people who can't recognize reality.
Perhaps, it is not that they fail to recognize the reality, but their nature is greed.
Yan Feng looked down and spoke word by word.
"I don't bargain."
Hearing this, those greedy people immediately became angry. They felt that Yan Feng was just a young boy in his early twenties who could be easily fooled.
Yan Feng looked at the village chief and said,
"Village chief, my conditions will not change. If you are willing, you can sign up immediately. If you are not willing, then leave."
After saying this, he looked at the crowd below,
"Those who just said they don't want to come, even if they sign up, our Fuguang Palace will not accept them."
Hearing this, several troublemakers were stunned.
He instantly became angry and said,
"What do you mean? You give me such a small amount and I won't let you talk?"
"You are trying to take advantage of our labor for nothing. How shameless!"
But Yan Feng would not pay any attention to these little shrimps.
Seeing that the only bag of rice and flour was gone, they wanted to unite everyone to resist.
"Don't be so stupid as to sign up, it will be a waste of work!"
A man in his twenties stood up and said,
"I'll go."
The woman next to him stopped him and said,
"Are you stupid? You can't go!"
