Mr. Mike is obviously not one of those people who has the fate of the protagonist. Under the threat of death and the temptation of money, he happily chose a path that can survive.
People say that little people are very sad, and it is true. In front of big people, small people are a sad "species", but this cannot ignore another thing. That is, although little people are pathetic, they still have a chance to choose!
This opportunity is sometimes more valuable than the majesty of a big shot.
You must know that only small people can choose, and big people never make choices, not because they have grown up and refuse to do multiple-choice questions, but because they do not even have the power to make choices, let alone the opportunity.
Little people or big people, it is not easy to say clearly who is more suitable for this society and who is more suitable for long-term survival in society.
As Dulin said, Mr. Mike is a man who is very skilled in his work and passionate about his career. He wrote the information on several documents, then took out the official seal, stamped it, and signed another name. The license was issued in a short time. It was all done in less than five minutes. With this permit, Dulin can mine large areas openly and openly. It doesn't mean that you can't mine without this permit. It's just that you can do many things in violation of the rules, but you must also be prepared to bear the corresponding consequences.
If a small person is caught secretly mining and is discovered by the state government, he may be fined a sum of money and given a reprimand at most. But if a big shot is discovered secretly mining, it will be like a drop of blood dripping into the sea water, and all the sharks dozens of kilometers away will start swimming towards this place quickly. Many magnificent buildings we see often start to crack from an insignificant place and then collapse!
This was Dulin's attitude of not giving anyone any chance to cause trouble for him based on the rules. Because the more upright and simple the method, the more impeccable it is.
There is a difference between doing the right thing and going the wrong way!
After obtaining this permit, Mr. Mike also readily told Dulin who was targeting him behind the scenes. This person was indeed Memnon as Dulin expected at the beginning. He was not surprised. Memnon regarded the west as his base camp. He wanted to become governor here and then find a way to ascend to the throne of the highest power in the empire. Therefore, he would not allow another person who had any influence on him to live in his base camp. threatening potential adversaries.
If you think about it from another perspective, if Dulin was in Memnon's position now, he might do something even more extreme.
On the afternoon of the day he got the license back, Dulin sent someone to contact the snakeheads. He needed to purchase at least 500 slave miners and hire about 50 to 150 imperial miners. The mixing of miners is a very common practice in the western mining areas, and most mining areas are implementing this set of management methods. In fact, to put it bluntly, there is nothing clever about it. Classes within miners are artificially established. The essence of class is struggle. Miner groups in two different classes will hate and confront each other. This is one of the ways to ensure "stability" in the mining area.
But Dulin's purpose was to let the slaves go through a psychological process, make them suffer, and then let them "find" a way to the future.
In addition, Dulin also asked people to find ten miners who worked very hard among the slave miners in the Andorra mining area, and told them in front of all the slaves that these ten people loved their current jobs. , and have a strong sense of responsibility for themselves, so they gained their freedom in advance. Not only can you settle your salary and leave here anytime and anywhere, but you can also continue to work here, and you can also move to the employee area and enjoy a salary that is almost the same as that of local miners.
In an instant, the eyes of all the slaves had extremely terrifying changes. Before that, Dulin had also made many promises to them, some of which had already been fulfilled. For example, they improved food and living conditions, and paid salaries slightly lower than those of local miners. These have all been realized. But these slaves did not behave too actively, and only a few behaved differently from others. Those slaves who had been here longer became indifferent after the initial excitement because they thought it might be a lie spun by Dulin.
No matter how much salary they saved while working here, the three years that Dulin promised would still be far away. What if they were killed before they were freed, or even after they were freed? Has everything they own returned to Dulin's hands? So what’s the point of Dulin’s promise
But this time it was different. The people they picked out were all visible to them. They were all new slaves, so they were more eager to regain their freedom. They became numb without too much deception and harm. They gave life to everyone. People learned a lesson - people should keep moving forward with dreams and hopes for the future.
These ten young men were also very excited. They were freed, and received a hundred yuan each from Dulin. They could leave the mining area and go to nearby cities anytime, anywhere, or even leave the empire and return to their hometown.
Du Lin did not deceive them. When the open door was right in front of them, no one could stabilize the fluctuating emotions in their hearts. They suppressed the throbbing in their hearts one by one, using trembling legs that seemed slow, but almost He rushed out of the door as if he was running.
Their figures running freely outside the gate were reflected in the blind and cloudy eyes of the slaves in the slave area. Their eyes also became clear and transparent, and some of them were so excited that they cried.
There were no mine protection teams with guns outside the gate, and there were no traps as they imagined. They saw those people running very far away, and their emotions became slightly calmer only when they were out of sight.
If it ended here, then it was obvious that Du Lin was underestimated. On the second, third, and fourth days, all ten people came back again.
They changed their clothes and looked completely different from before they left. At least they didn't seem to have been persecuted. There was an inexplicable sense of confidence and expectation on everyone's face.
Yes, these ten people are back. Many of them originally wanted to leave this terrible country and this hell-like West immediately. But just when they took out the money to buy tickets to the West Coast, they couldn't help but froze.
People are all face-loving animals. This is the same whether in this world or another world. It is an unbreakable truth.
Does it make sense to go back with physical wounds and inner hesitation
Why were they able to be tricked into coming to the empire to be sold as slaves
Don’t you hope to change yourself and your family’s situation through the efforts of your own hands
They were indeed deceived once, but they were lucky enough to meet Du Lin and were not deceived a second time. They began to hesitate, hesitate, and think. If all Dulin's promises can be fulfilled, then if they work as free people now, wouldn't they be able to get almost the same salary as local miners and enjoy the same treatment? So why leave and go back to your backward hometown, or even your hometown during the war
Why not stay here? !
Why not be here to find the future they had so longed for
So they came back. It seemed like a small thing, but to the slaves in the mining area, it was a big thing. Many slaves looked at them through the high wall made of barbed wire and steel bars, asking them if they had met any of Dulin's people outside and if they had been captured.
When they talked about the things outside and their purpose of coming back with their heads held high, all the slaves in the slave area were really shocked!
The huge cheers seemed to put the entire mining camp in a grand festival celebration. These slaves vented their repressed fears without restraint, with smiles on their faces and hope in their eyes.
Yes, that’s right, as long as you work hard to mine, you will not only gain long-lost freedom, but also be treated equally. You can return home with a decent sum of money and be baptized by the envious eyes of your family, relatives and neighbors!
"Your method is very scary!" Dove stood next to Dulin and looked at the boiling slave area. The slaves were shaking the barbed wire and high walls hysterically. Dulin did not want to do anything more than let people stare at them. The move did nothing to stop them. They need something to stimulate their numb nerves and give them more motivation.
Dulin shrugged his shoulders. These were all small things. "Let those ten people come up. I still have things they need to do. It's a waste of these few people staying here to dig rocks."
Ellis nodded and turned to leave. Not long after, ten young people with a new look were brought to the office in the mining area.
These young people respected Du Lin very much. They all bowed down and called them "Your Excellency Du Lin".
"It's very good that you can come back. It allows me to see something different in your personality, morality and soul. This also determines that you are different from other people, most people." Dulin stood with a smile. Getting up, he pushed open the window and stood by the window, turned around and looked at these people.
The sun was right behind him, and its golden and warm rays of light fell on his shoulders and body, making him feel as if he was bathing in holiness. Even the golden light became his foil. He raised his arms and clenched his fingers tightly, giving people an extraordinarily powerful visual impact!
He smiled and asked: "Do you believe it? From you, I see the future of the West!"
