Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 28

"Captain, what's the matter?"

"Why did you call us here?"

All the patrol inspectors spoke out in a hurry.

"In a few days, someone from above will come to inspect our mine!"

"I heard that it has a lot of background. You should clean up yourselves and don't have any problems."

After saying a few words, Li Gang waved his hand to signal everyone to leave, obviously impatient.

Everyone was used to Li Gang's appearance. After all, when the inspection station expanded, some people were happy, but others were naturally worried.

And Li Gang is undoubtedly the one who is worried.

Chu Mu didn't care too much. Of the dozen or so inspections present, he was probably the one with the cleanest background.

After entering the inspection station for dozens of days, apart from studying, he was also practicing martial arts. Whoever came to inspect him had no effect on him.

The only thing that was illegal was receiving a double salary once, but the possibility of being investigated for this kind of thing was too small. Even if it was investigated, it would involve more than a thousand officials in Qinghe County. Among them, he was too insignificant.

"Okay, why did you come to inspect?"

"Our mine, it seems that nothing has happened in recent days, right?"

"Didn't there be a mine accident a few days ago? Isn't it a matter of dozens of lives?"

"What's the matter? In our mine, which year has there been no mining disaster?"

"When did you see the higher-ups come to investigate us because of the mine disaster?"

"The master above, the only thing he cares about is this mine."

"By the way, isn't Qianhu taking people around all day long these days, digging here and looking there..."

"Now it is rumored that the treasure was discovered in our mine. Do you think it has something to do with it?"

Several inspectors were chatting with each other, while Chu Mu followed silently, without saying a word.

Of course, he had heard about the theory of treasures long ago, but three people became tigers, and everyone said what they said, so it is estimated that few people know the specifics.

But there is no doubt that he is definitely looking for something, and it is in this mine.

Otherwise, the county captain in the county, the deputy Qianhu of the inspection station, and other people would spend their time in this mine every day.

Chu Mu didn't care too much about the so-called treasure, after all, even if there was a treasure, it would never be his turn.

Walking around and chatting leisurely, all the inspectors are also in their own places.

Chu Mu still sat down under the tree unmoved, with a bonfire set up in front of him to keep warm. He picked up the book and looked at it for a while. Chu Mu seemed to have thought of something, but was suddenly taken aback.

If he remembered correctly, it was the county that gave the order to increase the production of the mine, and then to increase the corvee.

Immediately afterwards, Qianhu's deputy Qianhu took people around the mine, looking for something.

Now, suddenly a big person came to inspect...

These few things... seem to be linked together?
In other words, because they were looking for something, there was an order to increase the production of the mine and to increase the corvee, and then there were big men who came to inspect the mine...

Chu Mu silently thought about the possibility he guessed. As far as he knew, the Nanshan Iron Mine had been mined for so many years, but the mining volume was set at the beginning of the year, and there had never been a request to increase production midway.

This point seems to be connected with his guess.

Chu Mu glanced at the corvée working not far away, but couldn't help muttering in his heart, what is worth such a big fuss?
Unable to figure out why, Chu Mu didn't bother to waste his brain cells, so he turned his gaze away, and turned to the book in his hand again.

It wasn't the enlightenment book that was about to be torn apart, nor Nanshan Yezhi and the history book, but a travelogue that Chu Mu found in a bookstore a few days ago.

The content described is probably the experience of a rich scholar who traveled around.

Although most of them are descriptions of scenery, the wide range of travel has also given Chu Mu a lot of knowledge, so that he will not be blind to the outside of Nanshan Town.

Judging from this travelogue, it is obvious that the current Dachu world still deserves the word "Taiping".

Qinghe County is obviously a special case.

After all, it's not like every place has mines to mine.

And, most importantly, people depend on food.

Looking at the thousands of years in the previous life, the chaos in the world was basically due to various reasons, which made the people unable to survive, and there was a basis for the chaos.

In this era, Chu Mu estimated that this problem should be more difficult to arise.

After all, food is too cheap.

Only a few days ago, Chu Mu learned that rice in this era is actually a drought-resistant crop, and it can be planted in any plot of land, and it can survive with a little care.

The most important thing is that the yield is not low at all. On average, the yield per mu is as high as thirty stones, which is three thousand catties in the previous life!

And it's not just rice, but other crops as well, which are easy to feed and have frighteningly high yields.

Such a high yield of grain brings, of course, extremely cheap grain.

No matter how exploited and squeezed, it should not be difficult to eat such cheap and high-yield food.

In this era, how many people would risk beheading to rebel unless they really couldn't survive?

Under such circumstances, how could the world be unbalanced.

Knowing this, Chu Mu became more and more interested in his martial arts.

Even, indistinctly, the purpose of his martial arts has changed from self-defense to self-seeking!

Chaotic and scary, but it is also an opportunity.

After all, the world is stable and irreversible.

Even if there is chaos in Qinghe County, it will only be a short-term chaos. In the face of the general trend of stability in the world, calm will soon be restored.

The three civil disturbances recorded in the Nanshan Yezhi clearly illustrate this point.

The most serious one was just to sweep Nanshan Town, but it was suppressed by Thunder in less than a month.

He has practiced martial arts well, and wearing this patrol skin is really messed up, maybe it was just a chance...

Chu Mu's eyes flickered, and he seemed inexplicably excited.

It seems... After being substituted in yesterday's lob formation, his mentality has completely changed.

He even yearns for it?

Chu Mu pursed his lips, silently suppressed the inexplicable excitement in his heart, and slowly got up, pacing around here.

As the saying goes, what you eat will make you wiser.

After three times of civil unrest, Qinghe County seems to have become smarter three times.

Falling on this mine as the source, it is harsh in all aspects.

Each patrol team is responsible for an area, and then subdivided into people.

The same is true when it falls on the head of the corvee.

Every corvee is subdivided into every area and every inspection.

Just like the place where Chu Mu is guarding, he is in charge of six corvees.

The work of these corvees is also very simple, just carrying mineral materials.

The mineral materials extracted from the mine are transported from one area to another. The area he is in charge of is only a part of it.

Although such management will reduce the overall work efficiency of the mine, it is clear that the management of corvee is undoubtedly extremely effective.

Moreover, Chu Mu knew that in the barracks next to the canteen of the mine, there were nearly a hundred inspectors in full armor standing by at all times.

Its purpose is obviously very clear...
