Chapter 537 Never Compromise
William stood in front of the gate of the coal mine, looking at the receding figure of the Black Watch mercenary. His face was as red as a cooked pig liver, and the veins on his neck bulged like twisted earthworms.
He opened his mouth wide and cursed at the mercenaries who were gradually moving away:
"You bastards, you took the city council's money but didn't do anything. When I return to Padua and report to the city council, I will make you pay!"
However, those mercenaries were already accustomed to such accusations. They had seen all kinds of storms and waves, and they were immune to threats and insults like his.
They are only responsible for fulfilling the contract, and they have no interest in intervening in conflicts and disputes between their employers and others.
Even if William was furious now, it was just a farce in their eyes.
They turned a deaf ear to William's insults, raised a cloud of dust, and soon disappeared at the end of the road.
At this time, only William and his supervisors, as well as a group of determined miners opposite, were left in the coal mine.
William looked around, feeling a sense of powerlessness.
He understood that if he did not meet the demands of these miners, his mine would certainly not be able to operate. Without the miners' labor, the coal mine would have no value.
But he was unwilling to agree to the miners' demands so easily.
"good very good!"
William suddenly said something harsh:
"I will report this to the Padua City Council and the Noble Council! Just wait to be crushed by Yoda's army!"
There was a hint of ferocity and determination in his eyes, as if he wanted to scare away the miners in front of him with these words.
After saying this, he led the supervisors to Padua in a dejected manner. He had a house to live in there anyway, so the worst that could happen was that he would just stay there.
He just didn't believe it. There was only one coal mine near Padua, and these peasants could find another similar job after losing this one.
Looking at William's departing back, the miners first breathed a sigh of relief, glad that the mercenaries did not do anything to them, and then fell into confusion.
They originally wanted to force William to raise his salary by surrounding him, but they didn't expect that the other party would just leave. Now, no one will pay them anymore.
A miner frowned and asked anxiously:
"What should I do?"
The other miners also started talking, with anxious and helpless expressions on their faces.
The leading sturdy man pondered for a moment and said:
"Let's go back and ask Mr. Minzer what to do. He's knowledgeable and may be able to find a way to solve our current predicament."
……
"Oh, I knew he would be like this."
After listening to the miners' captain's description, Min Caier sighed softly.
In order to facilitate command, he grouped the townspeople according to their occupations, so that he could organize actions more efficiently and orderly.
"His goal now is to force us to surrender by not paying our wages. If you really surrender, he won't lose much, but will gain face, and it will be easier for him to oppress you in the future."
Min Caier analyzed, his voice was low and steady, which made the miners feel a little alert after hearing it.
"Then what should we do? Some people really can't afford to eat at home."
The miners' captain asked anxiously, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
The old and young in the family are still waiting for him to bring money to buy food. If he has no more income, the whole family will starve.
"It's easy."
Min Caier's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile.
"Even though he's gone, the coal mine is still there. We can just dig it out and sell it ourselves."
"What a good idea! Why didn't I think of that?"
The miners' captain slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
Indeed, now that the coal mine has been occupied, all the income will belong to the miners. They no longer have to act according to William's wishes, nor do they have to worry about having their wages deducted.
"But we can't sell it ourselves. We have to find someone to sell it for us."
Min Zeer continued.
"I've thought about it. You dig up the coal, save some for the winter, and sell the rest to other towns and passing caravans. At the same time, you should keep some of the money you earn to buy weapons and equipment for the uprising."
"Don't worry! Leave it to me!"
The captain of the miners patted his chest and assured, his eyes full of confidence and determination, as if with Min Caier's guidance, any difficulties did not seem so difficult to solve.
A few days later, Münzer was explaining how to revolt to representatives from other villages and towns in the parish school.
He stood on the podium, holding a military book by Helderland in his hand, gesturing with his hands as he explained, and the village and town representatives below listened attentively.
The classroom was filled with a tense and exciting atmosphere. Everyone was listening carefully to Min Caier's explanation and taking notes of the key points from time to time.
Suddenly, someone came to the door and reported:
"Mr. Muenzer, bad news! The Padua court has sent you a letter. William has sued you!"
When Min Caier heard this, he immediately stepped forward, took the letter, opened the envelope, and read the contents carefully.
The letter only said that William sued Minzer for rioting and asked him to go to the Padua court tomorrow to be questioned by the judge.
Minzer frowned tightly. He knew that William was taking revenge on him and wanted to use this opportunity to suppress his and the miners' resistance.
"can not go!"
One representative said anxiously.
"Isn't it obvious? What if we get arrested right away? William must have arranged some people in the court, waiting for us to fall into his trap."
"But if you don't go to court, a warrant should be issued for your arrest."
Another representative said worriedly that if he didn't go, the court would most likely issue an arrest warrant directly, and Min Caier would then be in a more passive situation.
Amid the argument, Min Caier immediately said:
"What are you afraid of? We can only survive by enduring the enemy's repeated attacks. What's more, we are on the side of truth."
There was a hint of determination and courage in his eyes, as if no difficulties could stop him from moving forward.
"I am going, but I must let all the citizens of Padua know that I am here and why I am here! In the past, our voices were too small, but now we can use the citizens of Padua to spread our ideas around!"
Minzer spoke loudly, his voice echoing in the classroom, full of power and passion.
He knew that this was a rare opportunity to make more people understand their demands and support their resistance.
Min Caier stood up, straightened his clothes, and there was a fearless light in his eyes.
He knew that he would face a severe test when he went to the Padua court tomorrow, but he was not afraid.
He believes that truth will prevail over evil, and that his and the miners' resistance will ultimately win, which will be an important turning point in changing the future of the vast majority of residents in the Yoda Empire.
