Longevity starts with learning

"Captain, what's wrong?"

"Why are you calling us here?"

The inspectors all spoke at once.

"Someone from above will come to our mine to inspect in a few days!"

"I heard that he is a big shot. You should take care of yourself and don't get into any trouble."

After saying a few words, Li Gang waved his hand and signaled everyone to leave, obviously not very impatient.

Everyone was used to Li Gang's behavior. After all, when the inspection office expanded, some people were happy, and naturally some people were worried.

And Li Gang was undoubtedly the one who was worried.

Chu Mu didn't care. Among the dozen inspectors present, he probably had the cleanest foundation.

After entering the inspection office for dozens of days, he studied and practiced martial arts. It didn't matter who came to inspect.

The only illegality was that he received double salary once, but this kind of thing was unlikely to be investigated. Even if it was investigated, it involved more than a thousand officials in Qinghe County, and he was too insignificant among them.

"Why are you here for inspection?"

"Nothing seems to have happened in our mine recently?"

"Didn't there happen to be a mine accident a few days ago? Isn't it a big deal that dozens of lives were lost?"

"What's the big deal? There has never been a mine accident in our mine?"

"When have you ever seen the higher-ups come to inspect us because of a mine accident?"

"The higher-ups only care about this mine."

"By the way, these days Qian Hu has been taking people around all day long, digging here and looking there..."

"Now it's rumored that a treasure was found in our mine. Do you think it's related to this?"

Several inspectors were chatting with each other, and Chu Mu followed silently by the side without saying a word.

Of course, he had heard about the treasure a long time ago, but three people make a tiger, and people follow the crowd. It is estimated that few people know the details.

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

Otherwise, how could the county lieutenant and the deputy captain of the inspection office stay in the mine every day?

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

Walking slowly and chatting, the inspectors returned to their respective places.

Chu Mu sat under the tree as usual, with a bonfire in front of him to keep warm. He picked up the book and read it for a while. Chu Mu seemed to think of something, but was suddenly startled.

If he remembered correctly, it was the county city that issued an order to increase the production of the mine, and then increase corvée.

Then, the deputy captain led people to wander around the mine, looking for something.

Now, suddenly there are big people coming to inspect...

These things... seem to be connected?

In other words, it was because they were looking for something that there was an order to increase the mine production and increase the corvée, and that was why some big shots came to inspect the mine...

Chu Mu silently pondered over the possibility he had 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 in the middle of the year.

This seemed to be connected with his guess.

Chu Mu glanced at the corvée laborers working not far away, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, what was worth such a big fuss?

Unable to figure out the reason, Chu Mu was too lazy to waste his brain cells, and his eyes moved away, and turned to the book in his hand again.

It was not the enlightenment book that was about to be torn apart, nor was it the Nanshan Wild Chronicles and the history book, but a travel diary that Chu Mu found in a bookstore a few days ago.

The content described was probably about the experience of a wealthy scholar traveling around.

Although most of them are descriptions of scenery, the wide range of travel has also increased Chu Mu's knowledge, so that he is not completely ignorant of the outside of Nanshan Town.

Judging from this travel note, the current Great Chu world is obviously still worthy of the word "peaceful".

Qinghe County is obviously just a special case.

After all, it is not said that there are mines to be mined in every place.

Moreover, the most important thing is that food is the first necessity of the people.

Looking back at the thousands of years of the previous life, the chaos in the world was basically due to various reasons that made the people unable to survive, which laid the foundation for chaos.

In this era, Chu Mu estimated that this problem should be less likely to occur.

After all, food is too cheap.

Just a few days ago, Chu Mu learned that the rice of this era is actually a drought-resistant crop. You can find a piece of land to plant it and take care of it.

The most important thing is that the yield is not low at all. On average, the yield per mu is as high as 30 shi, which is 3,000 jin in the previous life!

And it is not just rice, other crops are also the same. They are easy to raise and the yield is also frighteningly high.

Such a high yield of grain naturally brings extremely cheap grain.

No matter how much exploitation and oppression, it should not be difficult to eat such cheap and high-yield grain.

In this era, unless they really can't survive, how many people will risk being beheaded to rebel?

In this case, how can the world not be peaceful.

Knowing this, Chu Mu is more and more concerned about his martial arts.

Even, in a subtle way, the purpose of his martial arts has changed from self-defense to seeking a career!

Chaos is terrible, but it is also an opportunity.

After all, the world is stable and the general trend is 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, it will soon return to peace.

The three civil riots recorded in the Nanshan Wild Chronicles clearly illustrate this point.

The most serious one was just sweeping across Nanshan Town, but it was suppressed by thunder in just over a month.

He has learned martial arts and is wearing this patrol uniform. If he really gets into chaos, it might be a chance...

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

It seems... after yesterday's lob, 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 stood up and paced around.

As the saying goes, one learns from one's mistakes.

After three civil riots, Qinghe County seems to have grown three times wiser.

The mine, which is the source, is strict in all aspects.

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

The same is true for corvées.

Each corvée is divided into each area and each patrol.

For example, the area where Chu Mu is in charge has six corvées.

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

The mineral materials mined in the mine are transported from one area to another, and the part he is responsible for is just one of them.

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

Moreover, Chu Mu knows that in the barracks next to the mine canteen, there are nearly a hundred patrols fully armed and on standby at all times.

The purpose is obviously very clear...
