After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

I don’t know if it was because she suddenly wanted to donate food to the front line that moved God, which led her to encounter such a thing.

Not only did he eliminate a love-brained spy who was poisoned by a witchcraft, but he also rescued an innocent woman.

Very good, she is very satisfied!

As the days go by, I feel more and more hopeful.

........

Qinghe County.

Liu Ben sat on the chair with a bitter face.

Previously, His Majesty specifically ordered Qinghe to be handed over to Princess Zhaohua for pilot reform, and Princess Zhaohua specifically ordered him to go to the front line.

Measuring the land, checking the population, reforming the tax system... these three things alone were enough to cost him his life.

That group of landlords and gentry brought their men to block the gate of his yamen, clamoring for justice all day long, so he simply threw all of them into jail.

As a result, within two days of peace, several other major families came to him one by one to show their goodwill, wanting to find out the truth about the demise of the Qinghe Cui family.

Several ministers of the current dynasty even sent people to negotiate with him, and specifically stated that as long as he could add some obstacles to this pilot reform, they would regard him as their own and his future would naturally be bright.

But who is that?

That is Princess Zhaohua.

A ruthless person who dares to wipe out an entire family with one move.

Even if he wants a future, he has to first see if he has a chance of survival.

Therefore, he turned down all offers one by one.

Your Majesty clearly wants to carry out reforms, and the Qinghe Cui family just happened to be in the right place.

Combined with the information he got from other places, he was afraid that Cui had already heard the news and took the initiative to take the lead in plotting against the princess of the current dynasty.

Princess Zhaohua must have already confirmed the evil deeds committed by the Qinghe Cui family, which is why she wiped out the entire family in one fell swoop.

Although he had just been assigned here to serve as an official, he also knew how arrogant and domineering the descendants of the Qinghe Cui family were here.

Oppressing tenants and forcibly abducting women are just small matters.

Selling illegal salt, smuggling tea, and secretly communicating with the Northern Di are the big ones.

Why is the Qinghe Cui family so rich?

How rich can he be with just such a small place?

It's all about making a fortune from national disasters.

Whenever there was a disaster in a place, the Cui family of Qinghe would send people to stockpile large quantities of food, cloth and other scarce materials, and then take advantage of the disaster to make a fortune.

Even the military was bribed by them.

He knew all these things, but he had been secretly looking for evidence. However, he never expected that before the evidence was presented, the Qinghe Cui family was directly wiped out.

Tsk tsk, this is really...

God's law is clear, retribution will not be happy!

Liu Ben thought for a long time before getting up and getting ready to work.

He had just received an imperial order to lead his troops to take over the mineral resources of the Cui family in Qinghe.

During this period, we have been busy taking over land and allocating manpower, which has delayed the mining. In fact, it is not a delay, but although the Cui family of Qinghe has gone bankrupt, his miners are not easy to deal with.

In addition, the location is remote, so it is possible that we may not receive news for a while.

Liu Ben had a bitter face, knowing that this was not an easy task and that someone might be killed. He was about to call for help when he heard his men come to report that General Chen had arrived.

Oh, this is his helper!

He learned from His Majesty's decree that the commander of the Nancang Camp was the person Princess Zhaohua proposed to assist him in taking over the mines.

There are many workers in the mine, and an accident could easily happen if not handled properly. Now that the army has intervened, the subsequent salt production plant will be much more convenient.

"Please come in!" Liu Ben was extremely excited. He thought that he would no longer have to worry about it, and after taking over the minerals, he would definitely receive more taxes.

These are all his political achievements.

After Chen Maozhe arrived, he did not bother to be polite with Liu Ben. He took his soldiers and several teams to the location of the salt mine owned by the Cui family of Qinghe.

This time, due to the direct intervention of the army, the land was taken over much faster than before. Those miners who originally wanted to cause trouble were thrown into jail one by one under the pressure of the army.

Only some honest, obedient and decent ordinary people were left.

These people have been exploited by the Qinghe Cui family for too long and have long lost the courage to resist.

Now that they see the imperial court taking over the Cui family salt mine with thundering means, they don’t react much. They just want to keep their jobs. They don’t want too much wages, just a little bit to survive.

Their wages seemed very high, about two strings of coins per month, but in reality they received less than eight hundred coins.

Among them, there are those from the Cui family of Qinghe who are harsh on you, and there are also those who are in charge who want a share of the profits. If you are not filial, you will lose your job.

There are many people in the world who cannot get enough food to eat. Why should they invite you?

They resisted at first, but after the leaders of the resistance had their legs broken by the steward of the Qinghe Cui family, they gave up the idea.

That's it, they are just ordinary people.

They have no ability and capacity to resist these tyrannies, so they are happy to get some wages anyway.

At least I can make a living.

However, the work here is really too hard, working day and night. Fortunately, when I am extremely hungry, I will occasionally be given a coarse grain steamed bun.

A group of miners stood there, listening with numb eyes to a series of demands made by the superior official after he announced the takeover of Cui's Salt Mine.

Originally they just wanted to listen, after all, no matter who the master was, it had little to do with them, but as they listened, they felt something was wrong.

First of all, it’s working hours.

The original working time was 3:35 AM (around 6:00 AM), and the working time was determined by when it got dark.

The required working time is now 5: am, and the working time is : pm.

There is also half an hour of break for lunch.

They had no rest time in the past. They were miners and lived directly in a village near the salt fields. Their wives would bring them lunch at noon.

You must eat quickly, otherwise the person in charge will see you slacking off and will definitely make a note of it. It’s a good thing he doesn’t whip you.

But now, there is time to eat and rest.

Everyone below began to talk, and the deputy general beside Chen Maoze immediately shouted angrily: "Silence!"

The lawyer paused for a moment, and seeing that everyone below had finally quieted down, he immediately continued to read about the salt mine reform system. However, the more he read, the tighter his brows furrowed!

"The Qinghe Salt Factory will set up a salt production plant nearby, equipped with temporary rest quarters and a public canteen. They will provide one meal at noon, and each meal will be full, with a mix of meat and vegetables???"

The more the lawyer read, the more he found it unbelievable. The content was really too outrageous. At least he had never seen such a broad appeasement policy before.

"New people, new atmosphere, will contribute to the development of the salt factory and inspire people. Should I increase my wages by half a guan on the original basis?"

"The salt factory must be equipped with financial and mining management personnel to pay the miners' wages on time and never delay them."
