Never thought I'd be the savior

Chapter 156
After Li Xuan came to Zhouzhi Village, the villagers he saw were all very poor, and he couldn't help but feel extremely moved.

There are mines in the village, but the wealth produced by the mines and the value created by the villagers did not fall into their hands in the end.

When Li Xuan arrived at the Zhouzhi Mine and saw a large number of mine slaves who were in even more difficult conditions and even had no guarantee of their lives, he was not only filled with emotion, but also his face darkened.

Seeing this, Yang Fei was puzzled and said, "Brother Xuan, what's wrong with you? Are you angry because these miners are not diligent enough to mine enough ore?"

Hearing this, Li Xuan looked at Yang Fei expressionlessly, "You should think about what you want to say before you speak."

Yang Fei has been in charge of the Agricultural Tools Department for a while, and he gets along with Li Xuan day and night, and Li Xuan never hides anything from him.

He still thought this way, Li Xuan was really angry and disappointed.

"Hahaha," Yang Fei scratched his head with a smile, "Brother Xuan, I was just joking with you. I know you value human life, civilians and even servants."

Li Xuan remained expressionless.

Yang Fei stopped laughing and said seriously, "Brother Xuan, according to what I said, the mining slaves in Zhouzhi Mine and even the villagers in Zhouzhi Village are already very diligent. But they are all so diligent, guarding such a I think there are two main reasons for living so hard in a large mine with precious and valuable veins.”

Only then did Li Xuan nodded in satisfaction, "Go on."

Yang Fei said proudly, "According to Brother Xuan, the first reason is because our Taibai Sect's exploitation of the mines is too heavy."

Li Xuandao, "That's true. You can think of this, and if you say that, it's because I didn't teach you so much knowledge in vain."

Yang Fei said proudly, "There is a second reason. Because the productivity of the Zhouzhi Mine is too backward. This is what you taught me, Brother Xuan."

Li Xuan smiled lightly, "That's right, the two reasons you mentioned are indeed the main reasons why the villagers and mine slaves in the Zhouzhi Mine are so poor that they can't even guarantee their lives."

Yang Fei felt even more proud when he got Li Xuan's approval.

Li Xuan said again, "Fat man, since you are right about these two main reasons, in your opinion, which of these two main reasons is the most important?"

Yang Fei pondered for a while, then gave the answer.

"I think that the productivity of the Zhouzhi mine is too backward, which is the main reason."

Li Xuan was not disappointed, he just asked, "Why do you think so?"

Yang Fei explained, "I think that human desires exist from birth, and in the process of growing up, they will become more and more complicated and stronger, not to mention the group of people who control Taibaizong.

They are located in the high and top levels of Taibaizong, and their desires will be stronger and more complicated, and there are too many practical problems, so they have to have various desires, and for this purpose they will squeeze and exploit Zhouzhi mines.

This kind of problem actually exists not only in the Zhouzhi Mine, but also in all departments and levels under Taibaizong.

In my opinion, very difficult to solve.

Just like in this society, it is absolutely impossible for everyone to be truly equal.

As Brother Xuan said, personality is equal, but class is not equal.

What's more, everyone in the whole world is like this. Our Taibaizong's oppression and exploitation of the Zhouzhi Mine is actually not heavy when looking at the whole world.

To put it another way, this kind of oppression and exploitation is actually just normal labor cooperation for the villagers and slaves in the mine.

Especially for the villagers in the mine, they only paid for their labor, and they got the money they needed for life. On the contrary, their lives became richer, and they still had enough time to live.

Even the miners, although their lives are sometimes not guaranteed, mining is inherently dangerous, and doing anything is dangerous.

In addition to this point, even if they are slaves and do not have personal freedom, they can still eat enough and wear warm clothes. As long as they work hard, they can live well and have their own free time.

Miners like this are much better than livestock who have no thoughts or leisure, nothing but work, until they die, they are not even qualified to die, they cannot afford to die, and they have no place to bury them .

Therefore, although the miners and villagers in Zhouzhi Mine are so poor and difficult, one of the main reasons is that Taibaizong's exploitation of the mine is too heavy, but this main reason, in my opinion, is not the most important reason .

If you are shameless, you can even say that the reason why most of the wealth and value produced by the mines were handed over to the Taibai Sect is not because the Taibai Sect squeezed and exploited the mines, but because of the mines and the mines. These village workers and mine slaves should fulfill their obligations and responsibilities.

After all, they lived in the mines owned by Taibaizong. Taibaizong gave them labor remuneration, and gave them living space and various shelters.

In this case, this problem becomes even more unsolvable.

However, the productivity of the Zhouzhi Mine is lagging behind, causing the villagers and miners in the mine to be very poor and difficult. The reason why I think this is the main reason is that the lagging productivity can be solved.

Especially with you, Brother Xuan, you have paid a huge price, and you have brought all kinds of secrets and secrets, which can make a qualitative leap in the productivity of the mine.

When the productivity of the mine is no longer backward, but becomes extremely advanced, powerful and magical, and can generate enough wealth and value, the poor and difficult situation of the villagers and slaves in the mine will be greatly changed.

I think that when the time comes, even Taibaizong's oppression and exploitation of the mine will change, and it will not be as heavy as it is now.

After all, if it is possible to avoid heavy exploitation, the villagers and mine slaves in the mines under its jurisdiction can live better and become more prosperous and powerful. thing.

In the entire Heihe area, because of the various changes brought about by Brother Xuan and the Agricultural Tools Department, I have become deeply aware of the role that the development of productivity can bring.

What the ancients said is true, Canglan knows etiquette with facts.

The best way to make the mines and even the entire Taibai Sect and Canglin solid is not to resolve the irresolvable class differences between people, but to vigorously develop productivity first.

Our Heihe area is a living example, and it has been extremely successful.

The entire Heihe region, from the aristocratic families, high-ranking officials and nobles, down to the common people, servants and maidservants, all because of these changes, all because of all the changes brought about by you, brother Xuan, have become your supporters and followers, brother Xuan .

It all goes to show what the most important stuff is.

I have been following Brother Xuan for so long, and I am honored to have you impart countless knowledge to me, so naturally it will not be the same as before, and I understand that the most important thing is productivity..."

Yang Fei explained a lot.

Li Xuan listened without interjecting, but seeing Yang Fei's gaze, he couldn't help feeling more relieved.

Compared with the entire Heihe region, where almost everyone has become his supporter and follower, Yang Fei is his true and staunch supporter and follower.

Too many people in the Heihe area support and even follow him more or less just because he has brought them enough benefits.

Compared with Yang Fei, he is not firm enough.
