760: C760 The Story of the Mine Owner

C760 The Story of the Mine Owner

When the video call connected, Yang Xuan, who had been depressed for more than ten days, miraculously felt incomparably relaxed.

The gentle and exquisite face in the video and the pair of eyes that were like flowing water could always make Yang Xuan feel very at ease.

"Why did you suddenly think of opening the video for me?"

Xiao Ziyi smiled on the other end of the video. The background was a Violet Orchid in the backyard of Xiao Family. At this time, the flowers were blooming beautifully, contrasting with Xiao Ziyi's warm smile that was like the spring breeze.

"Life is more confusing and needs the guidance of a master. I wonder if master has the time to guide me, this lost sheep."

Every time Yang Xuan talked to Xiao Ziyi, he would be very relaxed. He felt that this girl who always liked to wear a purple dress had a strange magnetic field on her body. Even through the screen, she could make people feel incomparably relaxed.

"Haha, since even Master Yang took the initiative to speak, then I, this fake master, must have the time. Tell me, what is Master Yang confused about?"

Xiao Ziyi laughed in the video.

Yang Xuan sighed lightly, then narrated in detail what had happened during this period of time and the things that had troubled him in front of him.

Of course, the matter of riding a pig and crawling a turtle would definitely automatically choose to be blocked.

After Xiao Ziyi heard this, she couldn't help but praise, "I was wondering why Victorious Return suddenly withdrew some time ago. So it was you who did it. In just a little more than a week, if it wasn't for the words that came out of your mouth... I really can't believe it. "

"However, your experiences during this period of time have been truly interesting. The seventy-two highwaymen of the north have been passed down for hundreds of years. I didn't expect that the Chief Badge would end up in the hands of an outsider like you. I'll give you a hundred 'likes'!"

Facing Xiao Ziyi's praise, Yang Xuan smiled bitterly. "Stop mocking me. This matter has given me a headache for more than ten days. If this continues, everything I have done in front of me will be in vain. If I'm not careful, I might cause a lot of trouble, and then I'll become a laughing stock. "

"I'm not making fun of me. No matter what you've done during this period of time, it's not something an ordinary person can do."

"As for the problem you mentioned, I can't give you an accurate answer, but I suddenly thought of an ancient Greek folktale."

"That's what the story says. There was once a person who found a mine full of gold mines."

"But there were so many mines, so one person definitely couldn't mine them by himself, so this person hired 100 people to help him mine. He also became a rich mine owner."

"The remuneration he gave those 100 unemployed workers was one gold coin per month. These unemployed workers were wild with joy, and they saw the mine owner as their great benefactor."

"But after half a year, the attitude of these workers slowly changed. The mine owner held a beauty and drank iced fruit juice every day. He didn't have to work, but he had the most gold."

"The workers were exposed to the wind and the sun every day, but they could only get a small piece of gold every month. Moreover, the gold was grown underground. Why should it belong to you alone?"

"The more they thought about it, the more intense it became. Later, the miners started to discuss secretly. If they killed the mine owner, wouldn't the mine belong to them?"

"After the mine owner got the news, he didn't panic at all. He just immediately gathered the miners for a meeting."

"The mine owner told the miners that from now on, ten of the best workers would be selected every month, and ten of the worst workers would be selected."

"Ten good workers will get two pieces of gold each month, and the ten worst workers will get nothing."

"With this rule, something magical happened. The workers will compete with each other, and they will be suspicious of each other."

"Everyone was working hard. They all wanted to be the ten best workers. No one dared to slack off, because no one wanted to be the worst of the ten."

"From that day on, the workers not only worked a lot harder than before, but they also spent all their energy on competing with their peers."

"And the mine owners slowly became the unshakable highest authority in their hearts. Those who received the rewards shed tears of gratitude, and those who received the punishment felt guilty."

"In the end, the mine owner's business became bigger and bigger, and he finally stood at the top of the pyramid. From then on, he didn't have to worry about anyone rebelling, and the story ended here."

After Yang Xuan heard the story, he fell into a dead silence.

Xiao Ziyi didn't say anything to disturb Yang Xuan, but just quietly let Yang Xuan think on the screen.2

After about a minute, Yang Xuan suddenly slapped his forehead hard and said excitedly, "Ziyi, you are my savior. You are so amazing. There is no need to thank me for my kindness. Let's not talk about it for now. I will treat you to a meal later!"

After Yang Xuan cut off the video, he impatiently gathered Zhang Bei Jia and the rest of the core members of the Heavenly Calamity together and told them his plan.

Zhang Beijia and the others praised Yang Xuan after they heard it. They praised Yang Xuan for being the living Zhuge.

Yang Xuan smiled and did not tell them that this method was actually thought up by a female Zhuge.

Xiao Ziyi's method, to put it in simpler terms, when faced with a group of fierce wild dogs, the best way was not to please them or suppress them.

If one blindly tried to win over the hearts of others with the soft approach, in the end, it would only make one's appetite grow bigger and bigger, and there would never be a day when they would be satisfied.

If they suppressed them, this group of wild dogs would definitely fight to the death, and it was definitely not the best strategy.

The best method was to throw bones into the pile of wild dogs, and the number of bones must be far less than the number of wild dogs.

In this way, the wild dogs would definitely snatch food from each other, and then they would be separated. In the end, all the wild dogs would want to please the person who threw the bones. They only hoped that the person who threw the bone would throw a bit into them next time.

To pull out the firewood from the bottom of the barrel and use it as leverage, it was simply exquisite to the extreme!

Right now, the first step Yang Xuan wanted to take was to find a suitable "bone."

This was just like how those wild dogs had to be thrown at bones to be useful. If he were to throw corn at them, it would only be a waste of effort.

Yang Xuan, Zhang Beijia, and the others had come up with many plans based on the habits and characteristics of the highwaymen.

However, in the end, they were stuck in a stalemate.

The 'bones' they thought of were nothing more than money, wealth, and territory.

These things were extremely tempting to most people, but this group of highwaymen was different. Although they lived in caves and retained many primitive customs, it did not mean that they were poor.

On the contrary, these highwaymen had been passed down for hundreds of years. Of the seventy-two highwaymen, every single one of them was extremely wealthy.

This was because their lives were extremely simple. Every day, they would drink and eat meat. Compared to their income, these things were like a drop of dust in the ocean.

Thus, to them, wealth was nothing more than a bowl of plain white rice. It was definitely not a delicacy.
