Chapter 316: Beneficiation
People here don't have the habit of eating breakfast, and Li Chun waits hungrily for Koroma to get up. It wasn't until nearly nine o'clock that Koroma got up. With two cars of people, the three of them drove out.
The three pickup trucks drove on the prairie for a long time, and slowly, they drove into a place that seemed to be a valley. Coroma pointed with his hand in the wind in the car: "There, there are three diamond mines of mine, you can take a look first." ”
The car drove into the valley with a small stream, and the ground became higher and higher, and there was a cave in front of it. Finally, the car could no longer drive, and everyone got out of the car. Koroma tapped one of the soldiers with the stick in his hand, and the man clapped his mouth with his hand and screamed loudly.
After a while, I don't know where a lot of black people came out. The men were ragged, but they carried three large rattan chairs on their shoulders, and two long sticks reached out through the armrests of the chairs.
Coroma sat down on a chair and motioned for Li Chun and Xuehua to sit up as well. Li Chun looked at it, this thing was just like the sliding rod in the old Chinese society. Following the customs, Li Chun and Xuehua also got on the chairs.
Not to mention, of course, after carrying it, it is really fun to walk and sway. The road in the valley was very difficult to walk, and further in, Li Chun could already see some little black children aged five or six playing naked. Walking into the cave in front of them, there was also a stream passing by, and many blacks gathered on both sides of the stream, using the flowing water to wash the contents of the sieve.
Koroma told Li Chun that those were the rough diamonds, and that those huge diamonds were all mined out in this way. Suddenly a black man screamed, and the guards went and grabbed the man to Koroma with a diamond in his hand that was close to the little finger and laughing. In the natural light, the diamond rotated, bringing out a stream of fire.
Koroma was very satisfied, he handed the diamond to Li Chun, and then looked at the black man with a pleasant face: "Why did you just find this diamond at this time?" The black man was stunned for a moment, and then began to scream again. Koroma glared: "Go and stone him to death, I don't need someone who lies." ”
Li Chun understood, they would definitely be rewarded for finding diamonds here. This man wanted to hide the diamond for the reward, and only took it out when Koroma made his rounds, pretending that he had just found it, and then exchanged it for a reward.
Of course, perhaps the man had just been found, and Koroma had no evidence that the diamond had been hidden by the man before. But do you need proof here? No, it just depends on what Koroma thinks, maybe double the reward?
Li Chun looked at the man who was about to be stoned to death, and he didn't seem to be afraid. But he was very excited, and he kept shouting something out of his mouth. Li Chun didn't know if he was begging for mercy or being indignant. Li Chun stretched out his hand and pulled Koroma for a while: "My wife and I just came, isn't it good to kill people?" Koroma didn't seem to understand, paused for a moment, and Li Chun continued: "The tradition of our Chinese people is that killing people is unlucky. ”
Coroma shrugged his shoulders: "What a strange tradition, we have a local tradition here, when guests come to kill people for guests to eat." That's what he said, but Koroma waved his hand anyway: "Okay, don't kill him." He is lucky, and there is a distinguished guest who intercedes, so let him go. ”
This person is lucky, and finally there is no danger, and there is no need to die. But what about normal times? 365 days a year, Li Chun really doesn't know how many people here will die. Coroma looked at Li Chun a little worried, so he smiled: "Proper, kill the chicken to show the monkey, otherwise, the monkey will make trouble." ”
Li Chun understood that the person Koroma wanted to kill was not necessarily a mistake. It's about Koroma's mood, whoever he wants to die, he has to die.
Then Koroma motioned for Li Chun to go on, Li Chun shook his head, he wanted this diamond mine. Li Chun didn't dare to go any further, because he could only save one mine. He was afraid that when the time came, there would be a few people from the mine who would let him choose, but he couldn't choose, and he couldn't decide the life and death of others.
Koroma was also stunned, he didn't expect Li Chun to settle down just by seeing the first mine. But it was good to settle down, and he also saved a lot of things: "Oh, Li, your eyes are very good." This mine is one of the best mines in my mine. This mine can produce tens of thousands of carats of diamonds a year, and the quality is quite good. ”
Li Chun nodded, what he needed to consider was, who would he arrange to manage this place here? Alfred definitely can't, this person can't bear to be lonely. Abraham definitely can't do it, Li Chun is not at ease. Sometimes, the people under him are too shrewd, and it's not a good thing.
Thinking about it, Li Chun didn't have a good candidate. But Koroma looked at Li Chunle, who frowned: "Li, if you don't have someone to manage here for the time being." I can manage it for you first, and you can come and pick up the diamonds regularly. "This is a good way, Li Chun can only do this first.
Li Chun took away a bag of diamonds produced by this mine during this time, which looked really good. When he was about to leave, Li Chun looked at Koroma: "This mine belongs to me, is it also mine, is it also mine, is it connected to these miners?" Koroma didn't understand what Li Chun meant, and nodded vigorously.
Li Chun also nodded: "Okay, these people are my people." The next time I come, I wish I could see these people again. You can't kill my people during this time, and I want you to give them something to eat, and I want them to be strong when I see them again, and the money is mine. ”
Koroma twisted his face to look at Li Chun, looked at it for a while and sighed: "Okay, I'll do what you ask." But you really don't have to, it will make them not work and forget who they belong to. ”
Li Chun saw that Koroma agreed to his words, turned around and walked out, having said that, there was no need to wait and say it again. Blood Flower followed Li Chun closely, smiling like a flower: "Li Chun, you are really a kind person." ”
Li Chun pursed his lips and walked out of the cave with a smile, and immediately felt that a large piece of sunlight was sprinkled on his head.
When Koroma also came out, everyone went home. Koroma was a little sullen, Li Chun looked back at Koroma: "You always call me brother, I will treat you as a brother." Look at how good this sunshine is, and I hope that one day, you will run this country, and I hope you will let your people see such beautiful sunshine. ”
Koroma also squinted his eyes at the sun, and after a while, he turned his head to look at Li Chun: "Okay, I promise you." ”
