Zhu Gaochi also noticed the change in the old man at this moment.

This is the nature of the old man. He just thinks that people still need to have land in their hands and work peacefully in farming in order to keep their lives.

It's just that the old man probably saw the smiles on these people's faces, so he didn't feel that their lives were not good.

Zhu Gaochi immediately asked again: "How much do you earn from working for the government now? Can you feed the whole family?"

"That's not the case!"

The man immediately lengthened his voice, and the smile on his face grew stronger.

The companions around him all started laughing.

Obviously, these people make a lot of money working in the mines!

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang's face show a smile again.

And the man went on to explain: "We don't know how to count, so we asked the little teacher in the town to do the calculations. In this year, the money we make from working in the mine is more than what we made from working in the fields for a whole year."

There are many more..."

Having said this, the man naturally closed his mouth and just kept smiling.

Zhu Gaochi blinked.

This is quite in line with the appearance of these common people.

No matter how much you earn, you can't get them to tell you a specific number.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

As long as he hears people saying that they earn a lot and live a good life, he will be happy from the bottom of his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang clapped his hands: "So in the mines in this town, are there managers who deduct everyone's wages? Or are they in arrears?"

The man obviously paused at this time and stared at Zhu Yuanzhang carefully again.

A weird smile appeared on the man's face and he winked at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Old man, are you really here to do business in our Tieshan Town?"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately raised eyebrows: "Can this be false? If these little guys are not in trouble, why would I, an old man, have to come out personally?"

The man didn't believe it, and laughed twice: "Old man, you don't ask this as if you are here to do business...but more like...it seems like those officials in the government came out to investigate the case in disguise."

This old man is the official in the government.

Those two young men must also be officials, and the other, older one, is probably the official's master. As for the remaining people, they must be servants in the government.

The man felt that his guess was correct.

Zhu Yuanzhang was about to explain.

But the man waved his hand and said, "We don't dare to ask what your identity is. But you don't have to worry about someone deducting our wages."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately showed curiosity: "Why is this?"

This old man must be an official in the government!

Men are becoming more and more certain.

But he still explained: "In the past, our Tieshan Town only had officials from the county and the government send people to keep an eye on it, and they were often not here.

But things are different now. Since many officials in the county were beheaded, people from the government and the county are now keeping an eye on the mines all day long, and they dare not leave during the holidays.

We also heard that there are officials from other places watching the mine, but I don’t know which yamen they are from.

There used to be a steward who paid us wages one day late because his old father died and he went home to deal with the loss. I heard that he was beaten ten times with a stick and fined several months' salary when he came back."

This is an important code.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Zhu Gaochi behind him.

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but subconsciously touched his nose.

If we go by what this common person said, then his tax office must have sent people to keep an eye on this in Tieshan Town.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, clapped his legs and stood up.

"Okay! Looks like everyone is having a good time!"
