Ye Chen rode a low-level spirit crane and left the small peak where Xianmen lived. He flew towards the Nanhu mining area and flew among the mountains for a full day.
Along the way, the number of monks we saw gradually became fewer and fewer, until there was no one left.
In these mountains, wild monsters can occasionally be seen.
Ye Chen's understanding of the Nanhu Xuan Iron Mining Area almost all came from a map of the Immortal Sect given to introductory disciples of the Tianxu Sect and a brief introduction in the introductory manual.
The Nanhu Xuan Iron Mining Area is on the outer edge of the Tianxu Immortal Sect and has exceeded the scope of the Immortal Sect. Even the patrol guards of the Tianxu Immortal Sect will not come to this place.
There is an almost completely independent personnel system in the mining area to maintain the operation of the mining area.
The person who holds the most power in the mining area is the general manager, who is a third-generation disciple of the Xianmen. Below him are the three most powerful figures in the mining area, the general manager, the general foreman, and the captain of the guard. Below them are a group of supervisors and foremen in the mining area under their command.
Guards and other subordinates.
There are a few third-generation disciples of the Tianxu Immortal Sect who come to the mining area to mine to earn spiritual stones or perform other tasks. They are not under the jurisdiction of the mining area and generally do not stay long. They will leave after earning spiritual stones.
Those at the bottom of the mining area are undoubtedly the mining slaves in groups. With the word "slave", you can imagine how low the status is.
Ye Chen was very confused and curious.
How could a big sect like Tianxu Immortal Sect have mining slaves?
He had only heard about secular countries, where there were various kinds of slaves. The secular countries fought with each other and plundered the enemy's population as slaves. Such slaves had very low status and their lives were as small as grass. He did not expect that Tianxu Xianmen
There are actually mining slaves among them.
"This is the Nanhu Mining Area!"
Ye Chen saw a huge green lake from a distance.
Near the lake, I saw a huge mining camp. The camp was built with giant trees, and the outermost fences were made of sharp spiritual trees that were three feet tall and one foot thick, forming a large camp that was nearly ten miles in size.
In the camp, there are some guards armed with strong bows and spears standing on watchtowers that are more than ten feet high.
The cultivation strength of the guards in these mining areas is not high. There are a small number of monks who are in the early stage of Qi refining, and the highest is no more than the third level of the Qi refining stage. There are also some warriors in the middle and late stages of the body refining stage, who are above the seventh level of the body refining stage.
Ye Chen patted the crane and landed on it.
The guards on the female wooden tower just looked at Ye Chen without asking. Those who came here were all monks from the Tianxu Sect. There would be no outsiders coming. These guards were here mainly to drive away
Monsters near the camp, and to prevent the mine slaves from becoming violent.
They are not worried that some foreign monks will take advantage of the ambition of the leopard and come to rob the Xuantie mining area.
All the raw ore produced in this mining area is black iron ore. In terms of ore, the value of tens of hundreds or thousands of kilograms of raw ore is not high. After the raw ore in the mining area is dug out, it is transported to Xianmen for hoarding on the same day. It is robbed.
A small batch of raw ore is not worth much. Only by removing large batches of ore from the mine over many years can one gain a lot.
However, although the guards in the mining area are low-level, there are still many guards in the hundreds, enough to deal with a small number of monks with evil intentions.
If there were a large number of outside monks robbing the mines, it would be very quick for the second-generation disciples of the Tianxu Sect to arrive here. Robbery in the mining area of the leading Xianmen sect in Yunzhou like Tianxu Celestial Sect would be no different than seeking death.
.
Ye Chen flew directly into the camp, collected the spirit crane in the spirit beast bag, and took a look at the environment in the camp.
Disciples of the third generation of the Immortal Sect often come to the mining area. People in the camp are not surprised to see Ye Chen flying down on a spiritual bird.
There are many wooden houses, simple and rough tents, and some idle large-scale excavation equipment in the gray camp. There are a lot of black black iron ores piled up in the open space, all newly dug from the mines.
Several overseers holding whips, all warriors, were supervising the ragged mine slaves to carry heavy black iron ore in huge baskets. When they saw any of the mine slaves slowing down, they immediately yelled and cursed loudly and swung their whips fiercely.
Beat him up.
Ye Chen frowned, but did not say anything to stop it. This kind of beating and scolding of mine slaves cannot be stopped. Now that he has stopped, these supervisors will only get worse after leaving. He asked directly to one of the supervisors, "
Where is the superintendent of this mining area?"
When the supervisor saw Ye Chen wearing the robes of a third-generation disciple of the Tianxu Sect, he quickly smiled respectfully and said, "Oh, this Immortal Master, the Superintendent is at the mine's shed. If you are always looking for him, you can find him near the mine."
Do you want a small guide to guide you?"
"No need!"
Ye Chen finished speaking expressionlessly, ignored the eager supervisor, and walked towards the mine.
There is a large mountain range on the edge of the South Lake. The mining area is along the mountain range and a large black iron mine tunnel is dug to excavate black iron ore deep into the mountain.
When Ye Chen arrived at the foot of the mountain range, he saw the entrance to a huge mine and a large pavilion next to it.
Mine slaves carry ore out of the mine.
The ore dug out by the mine slaves was transported out after the supervisor registered the quantity of the ore at the exit of the mine.
Ye Chen came to the pergola and took a quick look. He saw three monks in the middle stage of Qi Refining inside the pergola, a monk with sharp cheeks, a bare-chested hunk, and a middle-aged monk wearing a full set of spiritual armor.
, both at the fifth or sixth level of Qi Refining Stage, were sitting in a pavilion next to the mine, eating spiritual melons and fruits to quench their thirst, and talking some words.
The three of them are already considered very advanced in this mining area, and their status is obviously much higher than other supervisors and foremen in the mining area.
Several supervisors and foremen were standing around, diligently offering spiritual melons and fruits, and trying to please them.
"Director You, who is the newly appointed general manager this time? Does he have any background? If his background is strong, we may not have a good time in the future!"
The bare-chested brawny man said with some worry.
"This appointment came too suddenly. Yesterday, the original general manager was suddenly dismissed and replaced by a new general manager. I received instructions from Master Feng of the Assistant Hall, who is an eighth-level Qi Refining Stage Master.
The senior senior brother of Tianxu Immortal Sect will be appointed as the general manager, and he will probably come to take office in the next few days. As for the origin, who knows, there are so many high-level senior officials of Tianxu Immortal Sect, maybe he has followed the path of a second-generation true disciple uncle. He can
Squeezing out the former chief manager of the mining area may have some weight."
The thin monk shook his head and said.
"At the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage, the new general manager's cultivation level is actually so high. He is much higher than the three of us! This person has a backing and his cultivation level is so high.
If he monopolizes power in the mining area, we won't even be able to drink soup.
The bare-chested brawny man said in shock.
"Foreman Wang, you worry too much. No matter how advanced he is, he still has to rely on the three of us and a large group of supervisors, foremen, and guards to control these thousands of unruly mine slaves! How can he still do it?
How can one person do everything!? As long as he relies on us to do things, we can reap the benefits."
The thin monk laughed loudly and said, "You don't have to worry about these things. Master Feng said on the Thousand Miles Transmission Note that we will give the new chief manager whatever he wants, valuable black iron ore of level 3 or above in the mining area."
, let him take it. But all evidence must be preserved."
"Uncle Feng, what does this mean? This general manager is one of our own? Let us all obey the arrangements of the new general manager and get the benefits together?"
The bare-chested bastard scratched his head in confusion.
"That's not necessarily the case!"
The thin monk smiled coldly and sarcastically said, "Otherwise, Master Feng would not have hinted in the transmission notes to let us keep the evidence that the new chief steward is embezzling. This thing is a handle. If the Immortal Sect's law enforcement hall discovers it,
, it will be bad luck. Uncle Feng may want to use this evidence to deal with him."
"Uncle Feng wants us to deal with the new general manager secretly?"
"But what if the new general manager doesn't accept these corrupt benefits?"
The bare-chested burly man and the middle-aged man wearing spiritual armor were both shocked.
"Impossible. You live off the mountain and live on the water. All the previous managers of the mining area are not greedy? The new manager, the eighth monk in the Qi Refining Period, is not staying at the Immortal Sect. Why did he come to this indifferent mining area?!
Isn't he just here to make money? If he doesn't get benefits, what will he do for cultivation?! As long as we try our best to stuff him with spiritual stones, stuff high-grade black iron ore, and feed him well, he will only turn a blind eye to our affairs.
Close one eye and close one eye. As for afterwards, we can just hand over these evidences of his corruption to Uncle Feng. Uncle Feng holds the evidence and holds the handle of the chief executive, which has its own uses. We little people,
All you have to do is obey orders, no matter how their top brass fights!"
The thin monk was full of confidence and said with a wave of his hand.
"That's what Director You said!"
"Let's arrange this matter like this! When the new general manager takes office, we will act like this. If we do this well, Uncle Feng may be happy and promote us."
The bare-chested hunk raised his hands excitedly and said.
Ye Chen stood near the pergola, listening to the three of them discussing how to deal with him.
Many supervisors and foremen in the pergola saw him, but no one paid him any attention.
Ye Chen was not in a hurry, and was amused in his heart.
The thin and pointed director had actually noticed a young third-generation disciple of the Tianxu Immortal Sect standing outside the pergola. But Ye Chen was too young, which made him very uncomfortable. The young monk who was only seventeen or eighteen years old actually
He has reached the sixth level of Qi refining stage.
He is in his fifties and is only at the sixth level of Qi refining stage. This is really annoying. Let’s wait for a long time before talking about it.
After the thin monk surnamed You and the bare-chested middle-aged monk finished discussing, they looked at Ye Chen and shouted, "Hey, boy, you are here to dig, right?"
Director You is also a third-generation disciple of the Immortal Sect and a sixth-level monk in the Qi Refining Stage. However, he is the head of the three giants in this mining area. He holds real power and is used to bossing around. He naturally does not need to speak to an ordinary third-generation disciple of the Immortal Sect.
polite.
In the Tianxu Immortal Sect, there are occasionally third-generation disciples of the Immortal Sect who come to the mining area to mine and earn some hard money. Before the new general manager arrives, on the territory of this mining area, he must obey the director.
Ye Chen neither denied nor admitted. He pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder how wages are calculated for mining?"
"No matter how high your cultivation level is, if you dig a thousand kilograms of raw ore, I will give you a spiritual stone! You can only bring mineral shovels and spiritual weapons in, but you are not allowed to bring storage bags and the like."
Director You said.
Ye Chen didn't say anything else. He got a spiritual weapon shovel and entered the black iron mine to take a look at the situation inside the mine.
Riots are said to occur frequently in this mining area.
He wants to be the general manager of the Nanhu Xuan Iron Mining Area and spend two years in a stable manner. To understand the situation here, he must go and check it himself. As for these fat and evil general managers and general foremen,
, Captain of the General Guard, is completely unreliable and cannot be counted on. (To be continued) [This text is updated by 138 Kan Piao Tian Literature]. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to 138 Kan Piao Tian Literature to vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support
