Volume 1: The Journey of the Emerald Rough Chapter 8: Two Thousand Wages a Day?!
Chen Song, who came back to his senses, continued to follow Yang Hao to carry the stones he picked out......
During the transportation, it was found that all the stones that were determined to contain jadeite were more or less different from ordinary stones.
Combined with the way Yang Hao identified the stone just now, Chen Song found that as long as it was determined that it was on the stone containing jadeite, either the surface of the stone was rough, there was an obvious sense of sand, and even the hand was obviously prickly when held in the hand.
Either the surface of the stone is a zigzag vein-like protrusion, or the surface of the stone has black, dark green or gray marks of different sizes and shapes......
Is this the way to tell if there is jadeite in a stone?!
Chen Song was a little excited, but looking at Yang Hao, who was fully engaged, it was not easy to disturb, so he could only think about finding a time to ask again in the future.
The setting sun sprinkled golden light on the earth, and the entire mining area was draped in a golden veil like cicada wings, and the earth was gradually covered with mystery......
After Yang Hao confirmed the last stone that had been transported, he and Chen Song sat on the ground exhausted and watched the sunset in the distance.
The surrounding jade miners all stopped digging at this time, transported the stones that they were confirmed to be jadeite in bucket trucks, stopped around, and chatted with each other.
A huge minecart came from a distance and stopped in front of Yang Hao.
The car door was pushed open, and a lean young man with a bag jumped out, walked in front of Yang Hao, and handed the bag to Yang Hao.
Yang Hao thanked him, opened the bag and took a look, got up and shouted, "Come and line up!"
Seeing the crowd of people lining up, Yang Hao took out a thick pile of MD coins with a face value of 1,000 and a bundle of white pens from his bag, and handed out two coins and a pen to everyone.
Everyone happily thanked Yang Hao and took it.
After waiting for everyone to finish receiving it, Yang Hao turned around and smiled and took out two of the remaining four, handed them to Chen Song and said, "Take it, your salary today!"
"Two thousand?!so many?!"
Chen Song happily took it, and was very surprised when he saw the face value.
He didn't expect the wages here to be so high! 2,000 yuan a day! He didn't have a strong concept of money, but he also knew that the bigger the face value, the higher the value.
"Haha, how, in your Huaxia Kingdom, it's only equal to ten yuan!"
Yang Hao looked at Chen Song's surprised expression and said: "This amount of money is really nothing in your Huaxia Kingdom! But for the people here, it is already very good!
"Let's go, tidy up our jadeite and see if we can get lucky!"
As he spoke, he walked to the bucket truck that Chen Song pulled over at noon.
He took out his pen and wrote the white font of the second class of Yang Tou on each stone in the bucket truck.
Then he took out a folder from the bag, pulled out a blank piece of paper from it, wrote the name and the number of jade rough stones on it, and turned lazily to lean on the bucket truck.
Basking in the warmth of the setting sun, look at the rest of the people who are busy writing on the stones not far away.
Maybe it was because he saw that Chen Song had a lot of questions in his heart, or he was bored, or it was rare to meet a good person to talk to, Yang Hao told Chen Song about the situation here.
The main forces here are the Southern Federation and the Northern Alliance, and all other powers are basically dependent on these two powers.
In between, the Confederation wants to regain the Northern Union, while the Confederation does not agree with the way the Confederation does things and has always wanted independence, which is the main reason for the perennial conflicts in the region.
It is located in the north, and there are six equal forces in this area, all of which depend on the southern federation for survival, namely Lang Bang, Yah Bang, Ruo Bang, Phra Bang, Wu Bang and Ling Bang, and this mining area belongs to Wu State. Because these six are neighbors, there is constant friction in order to grab mining rights.
These six forces are all located in the north, but they are all special existences that rely on the Southern Federation to survive, so they must not only defend against the Northern Alliance together with the Southern Federation, but also prevent the annexation of the other five.
It can be said that it is completely in a state of survival in the cracks, and in addition, you have to beware of the so-called teammates, who are extremely difficult for each other!
Every year, the mining time in the mining area is concentrated from September to April of the following lunar calendar, and it is basically excavated day and night.
There are two kinds of jade workers in the mining area, one is a group of jade workers like Yang Hao, who spontaneously went up the mountain to join, and the other is a jade worker like Chen Song who was arrested.
The addresses between the squads are far apart, and there are soldiers guarding them, and it is strictly forbidden to communicate between squads.
As for how many jade workers there are in this mine, Yang Hao still doesn't know. And the people who were arrested all went to the mine at night, so they never saw it. Because Chen Song's situation is special, he was assigned to Yang Hao.
The spontaneous jade workers have a good salary every day, but those who are caught can only be redeemed by their performance.
Here, because the content of the work is different, the treatment of jade workers is also different, the lowest level is digging jade, and the highest level is Xiangyu, because Yang Hao's ancestors are engaged in Xiangyu work, and they themselves know some, so they are responsible for the selection and management of jade in the entire second class.
In the jade mine, from the general to the mining workers, they all believe that people and jade must have a fate to dig up good jade, the so-called "jade destiny".
Therefore, no matter which team it is, as long as there is a good jade in the area in charge, then the whole class will have a heavy reward, and the discoverer can get a huge wealth or even freedom!
Therefore, before going back every day, everyone will write their class number and name on the jade rough they dug up, and then submit it after registration.
Once it is discovered that the rough stone dug up by the top contains good jadeite, there will be a corresponding reward distributed from top to bottom! The general and Mr. Ge have always been fair in their work and have never treated the jade workers, which is also the reason why everyone can work with them with confidence.
Yang Hao talked to Chen Song a lot about the situation here.
Seeing that everyone had already written down the class number and name on the stone, they took the folder and registered them one by one.
"Thank you, Yang Tou!
The two muscular men who had been in charge of pulling the earth and stones looked at Yang Hao who came over and were very grateful.
Seeing Chen Song behind Yang Hao, he also hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, little brother Huaxia, if you encounter something here in the future, our brothers can help, just speak up!"
Any stone in the mine that was not identified as containing jadeite was collected by the two brothers, and the stones found to contain jadeite belonged to the two brothers.
The two of them couldn't distinguish jade, so they could only rely on brute force to do some work of pulling soil and stones, and it was Yang Hao who had always helped them select the stones containing jadeite.
Seeing that there were more jade rough stones picked out today than usual, the two of them were also extremely happy!
Facing Yang Hao and Chen Song, he kept saying words of thanks.
He ...... You two don't have to worry about it! People have their own places to go, and maybe they will return to Huaxia in a few days. On the contrary, it is the two of you, hurry up and load the car for me, and it will be dark if you ink again!" Yang Hao looked at the sunset that was about to completely set, and urged the two.
"Great!"
The two of them didn't say much, and hurriedly picked up the jade rough on the ground and put it on the big mine cart.
