Seeing Xu Chen coming, a group of hunters ran over to greet him with excitement and lined up to report the number. Just like before training, please ask Xu Chen to give a speech.

Xu Chen naturally satisfied their wish happily, and enthusiastically encouraged and praised them, and also pointed to the flag and horn of the Wu tribe and explained a few words.

After learning that his tribe finally had flags and horns, a group of hunters cheered happily and it took a long time to calm down.

At that time, the Ukrainian tribe, including Long, appointed a total of four military training commanders. They usually take turns to lead team training, hunting and surveillance of prisoners and mining. Overall, training hunters is the dragon's strength, and his strength and prestige are enough to convince the public. Therefore, the dragon is mainly responsible for training on weekdays. The other three are mainly instructors, and several of them cooperate very well.

The main reason was that all four of them decided to follow Xu Chen wholeheartedly, and their interests were consistent.

Copper ore mining can be said to be the project with the greatest impact on the Ukrainian people.

The four families are just one step ahead of time to repair the house. By next year, all families will definitely go to the foot of the mountain to repair the house, and the repairs may be bigger and better.

The same is true for burning wasteland and farming. Everyone learns to farm for the first year, and the harvest will definitely be similar.

But copper ore is a big treasure. These originally worthless stones can be dug out and transported to the Ba people, and can be exchanged for urgently needed pottery and linen.

And it has been granted the ownership of the four first families to surrender in disguise by Xu Chen.

Other families, including the U tribe leader, have no right to get involved.

This further intensified the conflict of interest and division within the Ukrainian tribe.

Other families want to share the copper mine income, so the four families will definitely not do it.

Therefore, throughout the winter, the patriarch of the Wu tribe had convened all family leaders to discuss the rights to mine copper many times.

Every time I watch the four families exchanged large amounts of pottery from the Ba tribe with the dug copper mines, this emotion will burst out once.

In order to protect the copper mine development rights, the four tribes had to strengthen patrols and guards. Not only did they patrol back and forth every day, but they also arranged more than a dozen fully armed hunters to guard and monitor. If someone from other families was found to be coming to dig and rob ore, they would do their best to stop and drive them away.

For this reason, several conflicts of not small size have occurred near this valley, and some people have been injured during this period.

Fortunately, they are all the same tribes and are relatively restrained by each other and there are no major casualties.

A group of prisoners who were working hard to mine were frightened when they saw the mighty and strict hunter team brought by Xu Chen. Many people saw the team approaching and threw the wooden sticks and ore in their hands and squatted on the ground with their heads in their arms, saying that they were innocent and looked like they wanted to actively work hard to make money.

It can be seen that these miners are a bit miserable.

After more than two months of mining, it seems that they are a little disfigured.

The treatment of the two sides is very different from the prisoners who received labor reform in the Ba people and have the opportunity to participate in training to get food bonuses.

Let’s talk about the twenty carefully selected prisoner legions that followed Xu Chen this time, not only were they full of energy, but they were all red and stronger.

It is said that when a fellow villager meets a fellow villager, his eyes are filled with tears.

These prisoners who stayed in the mining of Wu tribe looked at their compatriots standing in front of them with their heads raised and their chests raised and their chests were standing in front of them. They were even afraid to recognize each other. They finally recognized each other and mustered up the courage to say hello. Unexpectedly, the other party stood like a wooden stake that had no feelings, with a look of contempt that I didn't know you, so don't be beaten by me.

The First Mother Goddess is here, what's wrong with my brother? Has his soul been erased by the gods? Why don't you even recognize me? I am your favorite good friend!

Some miners retreated in fear with trembling hands and feet, and some people caught brothers of the same clan or friends who had been brainwashed by Xu and howled inquiries about the situation.

So the entire team became a little confused.

Xu Chen also knew that these prisoners had not seen each other for many days and might have some feelings to talk about, so he directly ordered the team to disband and rest.

So a group of prisoner legions were soon surrounded by a group of miners, and Guguga began to communicate excitedly.

After getting the answer, all the hard-working miners beat their chests and stamped their feet, screaming that they would go to the Ba people to receive labor reform.

When the captive army heard that this was not done, labor reform was distributed according to the number of people. If you go, wouldn’t we come to mine?

In addition, we also want to show our strength to stay in the Ba people for a long time and be a noble and civilized Ba people. How can you let you go and make trouble? So we all sternly rejected the unreasonable request of our brothers and friends, saying that only by staying here and actively accepting labor reform can we have the opportunity to return to the tribe. We also said that as long as you are mining here honestly, we can help you and the Witch King speak a few good words, and maybe you can go home early at that time.

So a group of miners burst into tears and burst into tears for their eyes. These compatriots who had eaten and drunk enough did not forget their deep feelings with them. They said that when they returned to the tribe, they would definitely give you the most exquisite animal teeth pendant they treasured.

I just wanted to go back after a few dogs!

The captive army secretly curled their lips and patted the ragged and thin tribes on the shoulders of the shoulders of comforting and encouraging, saying that only by mining more and digging good mines is the best way to transform labor. Keep up the effort and work hard.

Encouraged by a group of lush prisoners, a group of tortured miners and prisoners burst out with great enthusiasm and began a round of intense mining operations.

"They...gaha?"

Dragon and other groups of Wu tribe hunters looked at each other.

Since the arrival of these idiot prisoners, they have never been truly obedient. They have been causing trouble all over the past few days. If they had not arranged enough people to take care of the patrol, they might have run away long ago. They would have to constantly scold or even beat the work on weekdays. As long as they see it for a while, they will inevitably start to be lazy.

Those who squat on the ground play with stones, dig insects to eat, shit, pretend to have stomachache...

Anyway, I have never really been convinced.

But today I suddenly became diligent, which was really confusing.

Xu Chen's management of prisoners must be different from the Wu people's philosophy.

It is impossible to want the horse to run, and to want the horse to not eat grass.

Captives are not robots, nor are they perpetual motion machines. They were originally short of food in winter and spring, and although they could complete labor tasks entirely by pressing, they would definitely intensify hostility and allow these captives to develop the habit of fishing for work.

Therefore, even if it is a prisoner and labor reform, Xu Chen still tried his best to ensure their normal food and accommodation needs and their most basic quality of life. In addition, among the Ba people, he also used military management methods to prisoners. He was active, honest and obedient in his work. He not only gave more food, but also allowed them to do relatively relaxed work. However, for people who are disobedient and have a strong resistance, he naturally would not give good fruits. He beats those who should be beaten hard, and hungry those who should be hungry hard. As long as he does not die, all kinds of torture instruments can be used.

Under the management of this carrot and stick, the Ba people had the most captives, but they were the most relaxed, and there was no big riot from beginning to end.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the statement that he brought the Great Witch of the Gonghuo Clan to appear.

But no matter what, the management method of the Ba people is more humane, and the prisoners' resistance is much weaker. Now there are a large number of die-hard fans, who are privately preparing to stay in the Ba people.

But the situation of these prisoners of the Ukrainian tribe is much more complicated.

First, there are too many internal conflicts among the Wu tribe and there is no time to take care of them.

Second, these families do not have enough food to provide in winter and spring.

Third, people without spiritual beliefs like Dawu are guided and educated.

Finally, the management method of the Wu people is simple and crude, and it implements Xu Chen's instructions for labor reform, but does not take into account other factors and only knows simple and crudely suppressing it.

Mining has been the most dangerous activity since ancient times, with countless casualties.

The open-pit mine is better, and the underground mine caves are even more dangerous.

I don’t know how large the copper mine is, but the mining area is definitely not small. There are copper ores in the Muya tribe area from the Wu tribe to the northwest. In other words, the valley in front of me is just a point exposed after the copper mine veins are destroyed by the surface water.

As for the real copper mine, it must be buried deep in this endless mountain.

Only when you have a mine at home can you do whatever you want.

And copper ore is the most important and scarce mineral at present.

If it develops according to the historical trajectory of human civilization, copper will continue to be the most important precious metal for thousands of years, from the Neolithic Age to the end of the feudal dynasty.

Of course, copper in the electronics era is more important, but that kind of importance is industrial demand and has nothing to do with politics.

In other words, no matter how far Xu Chen's future kingdom develops, this copper mine will always be the most important help for his development.

Weapons, currencies, farm tools, chariots and even machines will be born from here.

Therefore, this copper mine must be properly managed and protected just like his own lifeline.

How to develop on a large scale still requires careful investigation and research.
