Until Du Fan came out of the tent of the Chinese army, his expression was still a little trance, as if he had just had a dream.

"Master, that Elder Wu doesn't seem to be very reliable, are we still going to carry out the tasks he assigned?" Baili Qiu followed, and said to Du Fan, his expression was not very natural, revealing strangeness and entanglement.

"General Wu is the supreme commander of the third battalion, and we, as his subordinates, must strictly implement every order he issued, have you heard of the military orders?"

"I've heard it, which means that military orders are as unshakable as mountains, and orders issued by superiors must be carried out by subordinates, and must not be disobeyed or questioned...... However, this should be aimed at the mortal realm, and the task that Elder Wu gave us is too ......."

Du Fan interrupted abruptly: "Since you know what the military order means like a mountain, then don't talk nonsense!"

......

Hundreds of thousands of miles away from the main city of the three camps, more than a dozen small villages are scattered on the vast plain, and they are inhabited by ordinary mortals, who mainly live by farming and grazing, living an ordinary and simple life, plus there are no cultivators to set foot in, and they are far away from the spiritual mines, so they have not been affected by the war, and there is a quiet and peaceful scene everywhere.

One day, two young men with good temperament came here, one of them was ordinary-looking, around thirty years old, and the other was much more handsome than the former, and the appearance of being in his early twenties was Du Fan and Baili Qiu, who came from the third battalion.

"You are in charge of a few nearby villages, I will go to the southwest, let's compare with each other, to see who spends the least amount of money and recruits the most people, but it is okay, bet 100,000 spirit stones, and the master and apprentice will settle the account, if anyone loses, they will not be able to deny it at that time." Du Fan looked around and said lightly.

Baili Qiu was speechless for a long time, and said in a low voice: "Master, I don't have 100,000 spirit stones, and I have a total of thousands of ...... on my body."

"If you lose, you owe it first, if you don't have it now, you will have it later. Du Fan waved his hand indifferently.

At this time, many people in the village had already noticed Du Fan and Baili Qiu, the two uninvited guests from outside, and they cast new glances, and some simple and bold people began to point fingers at them and talk about something in a low voice......

Baili Qiu sighed, met everyone's strange eyes, walked to the most densely populated place, and shouted at the scalp: "Ahem, folks, pay attention, recruit miners, one or two silver for three days, pay daily, food and shelter, car to car and ......"

Rumble!

As soon as I heard that three taels of silver a day, the crowd exploded all of a sudden, and Baili Qiu was surrounded by people in an instant.

"Three taels of silver a day, is it true?" asked a strong man.

"Where, when will it begin?" said someone again.

"Do you have any requirements, do you think I can do it?" a burly aunt squeezed through the crowd and rushed in.

"Is there any meat to eat on the construction site?" asked a little fat man, innocently.

"Little brother, seeing that you are young, you should not be married yet, I have a little girl in my family, who is ...... eighteen years old"

A village that was originally peaceful and peaceful, as if the flood had burst the embankment, was full of people in an instant, and the miasma of smoke was smoky.

Du Fan stood on the periphery, watched the excitement with interest for a while, and couldn't help but sigh: "Who said that my apprentice is introverted, autistic by nature, and not good at words, he has not been forced to do his part, as long as he lets go and has the courage to take the step in his heart, no one can't." ”

However, he is still too young, after all, he is not deeply involved in the world, lacks experience, and still needs to be experienced. Du Fan smiled, his body flickered a few times, and came to another village.

"Uncle, may I ask, where is your village chief?"

......

On a country road, Du Fan and Baili Qiu each rode a horse and galloped in front.

Behind the two, dozens of carriages followed closely, and the figures inside were longing, and wherever they passed, smoke and dust were raised all the way.

"Master, the apprentice still doesn't understand, why did that Elder Wu ask us to recruit so many ordinary people? Could it be that this kind of thing is not done by cultivators? Moreover, it also involves a big war at the level of the cultivation realm, and if you are not careful, these ordinary people will instantly turn into ashes. Baili Qiu has been puzzled, he held back for a long time, and finally asked at this time.

Du Fan replied as he hurriedly whipped his horse: "First of all, you have to know a common sense, because the high-grade spirit stone vein has just been unearthed, it contains a strong field around it, and it has an unimaginable suppressive effect on cultivators.

If a cultivator is within the realm of the Spirit Mine, he will not be able to mobilize any mana, and a cultivator in this state is basically no different from ordinary people, of course, except for physical cultivation, but in the entire three battalions, how many physical cultivators are there?"

"What, there is still a field around the spirit stone vein to suppress the cultivators?" Baili Qiu was surprised, and then said: "What about you, Master, are you also suppressed in the field?"

"This is nature, the spirit mine field is born from nature, and it contains supreme heavenly power, especially the high-grade spirit stone vein, the power of the field is extremely terrifying, not to mention me, even if it is the great consummation of the Yuan Infant Stage, or even the old monster of the God Transformation Period, the same is true, manpower is sometimes exhausted.

Therefore, it is simply a waste to use cultivators in mining spiritual ore, and this kind of thing is most suitable for ordinary people to do. ”

"What is the cultivator doing?" asked Baili Qiu.

"I don't know about the other camps, but in our third battalion, the main task of the cultivators is to disturb the enemy and the old cloth maze, of course, there must be a part of the cultivators who are responsible for mining the veins, because the output of the spirit ore on the surface is from their hands, and it is impossible to have nothing at all. Du Fan said.

"Master, what does the output of the spirit ore on the surface mean?"

"Didn't General Wu say that he can keep one percent of the spiritual ore mined in each camp, and the remaining ninety percent must be handed over to the southwest fortress in full, and these spiritual ores are on the surface.

Why do you say it on the surface? Because every cultivator on our side has relevant prohibitions on the battle card, and the number of spirit stones handled will be clearly recorded, and the inspection team will be able to see it at a glance when they regularly inspect it, and they can't fake it.

This is not so much a way of recording as a means of supervision, preventing someone from embezzling spirit stones without permission.

In other words, the spirit stones mined by our cultivators are all public funds, and we can't embezzle them privately, but the spirit stones mined by ordinary people are different, and as much as they mine, General Wu can get as much as they want. ”

In the end, Du Fan concluded: "General Wu's intention in recruiting ordinary people as miners is: first, to save the combat power of cultivators, and to use good knives on the blade, and second, to converge spirit stones, so to be said, can you understand?" )
