Chapter: 5136

Thirty-nine zero was excited and couldn't help but think of something, asking Leaf Chen: "Sir, is it still nighttime outside at this moment?"

"Yes," Leaf Chen said. "In another half hour, it will be daylight."

Thirty-nine zero looked at the lamp lights on the ceiling, sighed, and said: "It seems that our internal days and nights are completely opposite from those outside."

Leaf Chen smiled slightly: "They don't want you to calculate the real date in your actual life, so they naturally distort and twist this internal time with reality."

After saying that, Leaf Chen added: "But you don't have to worry. From today on, our days and nights inside will be consistent with those outside. I'll arrange for someone to prepare clocks for you, and from then on, your dates and times will be completely in sync with real life."

Thirty-nine zero expressed gratitude with a respectful tone: "Thank you, sir!"

Leaf Chen said: "Oh, there's one more task for you."

Thirty-nine zero hurriedly asked: "Sir, please instruct me!"

Leaf Chen spoke seriously: "Starting tomorrow, you'll need to divide your people into three groups, each group having approximately over a thousand people. Then, from each group, select about 130 labor forces and continue participating in the daily production and mining of copper mines."

As Leaf Chen was speaking, he turned around and told Li Nianzong, who was following behind him: "In order to be fair, the mounted guards will also do the same - let each of the three flags within choose about 20 labor forces on their own, and work together with the labor forces selected by the death warriors."

"Li Nianzong said without hesitation: 'Sir, don't worry, we'll take care of it later!'"

"Leaf Chen instructed again: 'The work schedule will adopt an eight-hour three-shift system, with one rest day in between. Therefore, during the selection process, please select at least one team to ensure that each group can rotate and allow everyone to get good rest.'"

"'No problem!' Li Nianzong said: 'This copper mine's production scale is not large, and there are only about 100-odd people working here right now. The death warriors and mounted guards combined have around 4,000 people. It's still very easy to handle the workload.'"

"Leaf Chen nodded, saying: 'We let them participate in work, not to exploit their labor power, but to maintain the normal operation of this copper mine, so that there won't be any abnormality discovered by the Peach Blossom Society.'"

"Li Nianzong and Thirty-Nine Zero exchanged a glance, with Li Nianzong opening his mouth: 'Sir, we don't need money... You've already done us such a great favor. We can't take your money, and this copper mine's production is all for the Peach Blossom Society, so the settlement won't go into your pocket anyway.'"

"Thirty-Nine Zero also hurriedly echoed: 'Sir, we can't let you spend money on us. Money has no use to us... You're just giving it to us, which is like a bunch of useless papers to us. It's better for you to keep the money and use it to eliminate the Peach Blossom Society in the future...'"

"Leaf Chen waved his hand dismissively, saying very firmly: 'Labor deserves rewards, which is one of the timeless truths of human development. You can store this money away or use it to buy things you like.'"

"But as Thirty-Nine Zero just said, for safety's sake, we definitely can't let everyone take their earnings and go out to spend them freely... However, I'll have someone draw up a list of common goods, and when the time comes, I'll distribute it to everyone. If anyone needs something, let the Wanjun Courtyard be responsible for purchasing it and then using covert methods to deliver it here and hand it over to each person. I promise that the Wanjun Courtyard will not make any extra profits.'"

"Li Nianzong and Thirty-Nine Zero were both taken aback."

"They didn't expect Leaf Chen to plan to use the Wanjun Courtyard to help them with their mundane shopping problems, which sounded a bit too extravagant..."

"But when they thought about how everyone could really earn money through daily labor and then use it to buy things from outside world for themselves and their families, their hearts also couldn't help but have some expectation."

"Especially Thirty-Nine Zero, he doesn't have Li Nianzong's level of freedom, after all Li Nianzong has already been a flag captain in the Cavalry Guard. Although the flag captain doesn't get paid, at least his family lives on solid ground and has a deeper understanding of this world, far surpassing Thirty-Nine Zero who has lived underground for years, cut off from the outside world."

"Thirty-Nine Zero had spent years explaining to his son that the Earth is round, but his son still hasn't left the mine or seen the outside world. Thirty-Nine Zero himself doesn't even have a globe to show his son, let alone a reasonable way to explain this simple truth to him."

"One day when Leaf Chen's plan is implemented and I earn some money, I can just spend a few dollars on a globe to explain to my son what the world is really like. Then he'll finally understand that Earth isn't flat after all."

"Leaf Chen then said: 'As for labor power selection, I hope you can choose one sturdy laborer per family to participate, so as to achieve maximum fairness and justice.'" JrNovels.com
