Chapter 238: Silver mine

"The tasks in the spirit world generally follow the principle of equivalent exchange, and the benefits will definitely be different depending on the degree of task completion."

Bai Xiaowen groaned and said, "I guessed a possibility, but I ca n’t confirm it, so I wo n’t say it anyway. In any case, we must complete this main task ... If the possibility I guess becomes a reality, what we The gains will be amazing. "

Li Shuyi nodded, and then asked: "But the fat man just said, we have no income, we are poor, we are poor, how can we recruit soldiers?"

"Go one step at a time," Bai Xiaowen said. "This young lord has no access to government affairs. Although I have inherited some of his memories, the situation in the territory is still obscured. Go for a walk first."

The two pushed the door open, and a cold wind came from the north.

There are only two words in my eyes: desolate.

There is a dirt road less than two meters wide in front of it. It is frozen by the cold wind, but it avoids the muddy pain of the traveler-if a traveler comes to this place.

There are several thatched cottages in the distance of the Lord's House, scattered and scattered. Leading folks in ragged clothes walked numbly.

On the side of the road not far away, there were several people wrapped in straw lying on the back of a stone pier to avoid the wind.

Bai Xiaowen frowned and walked over. After he approached, he discovered that these people were old and young, and they were undressed. Most of them were wrapped in a piece of black linen cloth around their crotch. No wonder they used straw to protect themselves from the cold.

"What's your name? Are the refugees passing by here?"

After a moment of panic among the straw-wrapped people, one of them looked like a leader and muttered:

"Lord Lord, my name is Anton ... this is my wife Molly, the others are my neighbors ..."

Bai Xiaowen looked at this man named Anton. He is obviously different from ordinary leaders. Although he is not tall, he is very strong. He has thick finger joints and calluses. He is a laborer who is used to doing heavy work.

"Anton, why are you and your neighbors living here?"

A skinny old man next to him drew Anton and said honestly, "Sorry Lord Lord, we shouldn't be in your noble sight, we will leave right away ..."

Bai Xiaowen was helpless, the old man was obviously wrong. He could only wave his hand to appease two words to calm down the panic refugees.

Anton sighed, "Lord Lord, we weren't originally refugees, but miners who mine silver in the western mine ... were not rich, but we could barely feed ourselves. But last week, the Black Wind robber raided the mine Field, killed the guards, ransacked the mine together with us, and burned our home ... we can only leave there and come out wandering ... "

等等 "Wait, the silver mine?" Bai Xiaowen's eyes lightened slightly. "Is there a silver mine in Baishi Town?"

Lu Andong gave Bai Xiaowen a strange look: "Is the Lord Lord not the owner of the mine? Bai Shi collar is originally known for its rich silver production. Although Bai Shizhen is relatively remote, there is also a small silver mine ..."

"I am the owner of the mine?"

Bai Xiaowen looked down at the patch of the hide of his aristocrat's dress a little speechlessly, shook his head and said, "Who did you hand over the silver you usually dig?"

"Of course it was entrusted to Job. He is the most trusted steward of Lord Lord ..."

Bai Xiaowen's face turned black.

Job just said nothing about the silver mine.

"You are too cold here. Come to my house, at least to protect against the cold wind." Bai Xiaowen sighed at the miners wrapped in straw, shaking with frost.

A few people were hesitant to agree.

"This is an order from the lord." Bai Xiaowen intensified his tone.

Obviously, these miner families, including Anton, are more accustomed to commanding tone. They supported each other and stood up, thanked each other and followed Bai Xiaowen to the Lord's House.

淑 Li Shuyi originally wanted to ignite the fire in the fireplace, but she had not actually operated it, and she had a hard time. Fortunately, Anton's wife Molly is better at doing this, and soon ignited a flame to dispel some cold air.

After thanking Li Shuyi, according to the inherited memory, she took out two worn-out clothes from the closet on the second floor and handed them to Shame Molly.

This kind action made the hearts of several refugees quickly settle down.

"Now tell me about the black wind robber." Bai Xiaowen said.

几个 Several other refugees, some dare not speak up in the face of the lord Bai Xiaowen. Based on Anton's narrative and others to add two sentences, the situation of the robbers in the territory of Baishi Town was gradually and completely presented to Bai Xiaowen.

There are more than ten robbers of various sizes in Baishi Town. Most of them are brought together by several bandits, and even the "populations" of Wuhe are not counted. There are three medium-sized bandit forces, each of which has a dozen or even dozens of people. They use Baishi Town as a den and run around, mainly plundering other surrounding territories.

This also led to the accusation of Baishi Town's territories because Bai Xiaowen's weak bandits—the lords of the surrounding territories had no right to drive the army into Baishi Town.

The largest gang of robbers in Baishi Town ~ EbookFREE.me ~ has the title "Black Wind", and it is very famous. It is said that this robber force has a scale of more than a hundred people. Note that these hundred people refer to the elite bandit who can cut people with a knife, not including the auxiliary servants who make up a few numbers.

Moreover, the Black Wind robbers are different from other robber gangs. They have a wide range of looting targets, not even the poor local Baishi Town. There were thousands of people in the territory of Baishi Town. Most of them had fled to other territories.

After listening to the remarks, Bai Baiwen asked, "What is the leader of the Black Wind Bandit? How many of them are there?"

An Dong looked at his head and shook his head to express ignorance. As soon as Bai Xiaowen said something, he also knew that he had asked the wrong person. Anton was just a small miner and had limited information.

With a click, the door of the Lord's house was pushed open.

"Lord Lord, why did you put in a group of pariahs? This is your mansion hall! My God, you will make the entire Skelboom family ashamed! Do n’t you always hate these mud-legged pariahs? ? "

The big fat man, Job, squeezed in and said in a hurry, and then expelled to Anton and others with a disgusted look: "You dalits, get out of the lord's house, or I will hang you under the eaves and air dry!"

Bai Xiaowen knocked gently on the table.

"Don't worry, Job ..." Bai Xiaowen said with a smile. "I just heard something interesting. Let's talk about the silver mines in the territory ... I'm curious, the silver ore turned over by the miners. Where have you been? ") !!
