Old man Zhou finally curled up with such a wealthy and powerful in-laws. Of course, he hoped that Li Yuanqing and Mrs. Derui would be well, and that their Zhou family and the descendants of the Zhou family could also be backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade.

Li Yuanqing had already felt the power of King Chen in Jiangnan. No wonder His Majesty told him and Gu Shao to be cautious and not careless when he was about to come.

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Uncle Zhou, your family has changed their families now, become a farmer, and their descendants can also take the imperial examinations. With me, my uncle, I will definitely not treat Yingniang's children unfairly."

Old Man Zhou nodded repeatedly. Believe Li Yuanqing's words, Li Yuanqing can be sincere to the four adopted children, and naturally he will be dedicated to the children of his own sister.

"Thank you, General, Madam. Thank you when you will rely on the general in the future. Thank you."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "I know you had good intentions before, but since I became the commander of Jiangnan Road, I can't just be an empty schema. If you want to truly control the troops of Jiangnan Road, you have to understand King Chen. You tell me everything you know. Don't worry, I won't tell outsiders that this is what you said."

"In addition, I also promise that in Jixiang Town, I will protect the safety of you and the Zhou family. Uncle Zhou, you have no worries and you will know everything. It is good to you and me."

When Old Man Zhou heard this, he felt relieved. Li Yuanqing only understood King Chen, not dealing with King Chen, so there was no big problem.

Only by understanding can you seek profit and avoid harm and avoid provoking King Chen.

Old man Zhou thought carefully for a moment, then thought for a while and replied: "General, this matter will start twenty years ago..."

They are already their own family, and Old Man Zhou did not hide it from Li Yuanqing, and told Li Yuanqing everything he knew.

Old Man Zhou is responsible for the work of the black worker, and only knows some of the things about the black worker, the things he secretly discovered, and speculations.

Li Yuanqing recorded it one by one.

After a while, Li Yuanqing asked, "Uncle Zhou, hasn't any of the black workers sent in escaped?"

Old Man Zhou nodded, extremely certain, "No black worker can escape. These people don't have to pay wages, and they work day and night. I once heard a manager say something drunk when he was doing shameful things."

"Since it's a shameful thing, it's naturally not let it go. After all, only dead people can keep secrets, just like the manager who says this. He usually has a strict mouth, but he can still talk when he's drunk."

Li Yuanqing nodded and asked again: "What about the situation of the miners registered by the government?"

Old Man Zhou replied: "Although these people work hard, they eat well and live well. They can go home once every three months, and there are ten days on a holiday!"

"I can still earn two taels of silver every month, and I can sign a short contract. If I don't want to do it anymore, I can just go through the procedures when the contract time comes. Just like working normally, I am highly respected because of my high wages."

There are these information on the surface, including the government.

The surface skills of this Xishan Silver Mine are done well and are impeccable.

But after careful analysis in private, there is a lot of room for action.

Li Yuanqing asked for a moment, "How many people are there here? Can you quietly arrange them to Xishan Silver Mine as black workers?"

Old man Zhou, who was drinking tea, was choked and his face was a little pale. With his intelligence, of course, he guessed that Li Yuanqing did not just want to know Xishan Silver Mine and.

"General, just understand it. Don't get involved. The water here is very deep. If you are not careful, you will never be able to recover. Even if you don't think about yourself, you will think about it for your wife and the villagers of Jixiang Town."

Li Yuanqing handed over a veil, "I won't do these things in vain! Since I have done it, there is naturally a reason!"

Old Man Zhou was shocked when he heard this, and pointed his finger at the sky, "Is that right?"

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Yes!"

Old Man Zhou originally thought it was just Li Yuanqing's whim and wanted to deal with King Chen.

But now it seems that the Emperor of Great Zhou could not tolerate King Chen.

However, Old Man Zhou quickly realized that if he was the emperor, he would not be able to tolerate King Chen.

Although King Chen has done a good job on the surface, if he wants others to know, he will not do it himself. What King Chen has done will leave traces.

Even those who are responsible for transporting illegal workers like him can detect one or two, let alone those with ulterior motives.

Zhou Laosan thought about it over and over again and finally looked up, "Since the last time Old Man Cai was caught, all the people who transported the black workers have not come to Jixiang Town, or even acted in Cuiyang County. The general wants to quietly transport people to Xishan Silver Mine and Dongshan Iron Mine, but it is not possible in Jixiang Town."

Li Yuanqing asked: "Where can you do it?"

Zhou Laosan narrowed his eyes slightly and replied: "Disinists! Last year, there were drought in the north, and many people who fled famine came to the south. Xishan Silver Mine received a lot of black workers because of this. I heard that there were some collusion between the government."

"If you can find a place to attract disasters and lead them to Xunyang Mansion or Jinling Mansion, you will naturally be transported to it as refugees."

"Since you are a hooligan, you are like a real refugee. Don't think that you can pretend to be a refugee by wearing tattered clothes. Be careful about this. After all, General, the people you sent here have other purposes. Of course, you must do the same as the real in order to distort the real."

Although Li Yuanqing thought Old Man Zhou’s method was very good, it took a long time. “Can’t you handle this matter nearby?”

Old Zhou's head was shaking like a rattle, "General, it's not that I don't want to help, but that after I handled this matter, no one of these people would want to live, let alone carry out the mission."

Li Yuanqing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why is this?"

Old Man Zhou smiled bitterly and sighed, "Old Man Cai was caught in Jixiang Town, and was sent to the government by Mrs. Derui. He was poisoned that night, and both the black and white are aware of this. Now Zhao Laolai was also caught in Jixiang Town. Even if I did what Mr Cai had done before, I did report to Laolai Zhao, and the outside world would doubt me."

"You and your wife come back and also bring bird's nests to my house, proving that we have a good relationship. I am living a good life now and can earn more than 100 taels of silver every month. How could I do this thing that would be a bad thing if I lick my blood from the knife?"

"If you do it, that's strange! Everyone will doubt the problem. Even if the black workers I sent were fine, they would not use it, or if they sent them, they would be strictly supervised. In this way, you would not be able to use the black workers to inquire about the news."
