Chapter 181: There Are Inner Ghosts
In the mine, everyone has a general understanding of the production process of gold bars in the mine, and at the same time, everyone's responsibilities have been determined, and they can work step by step at the moment, as for the details, this is arranged by the original four leaders here. After bringing everyone into the door, the four of them could return to Li Yao's side.
This is Li Yao's arrangement, the four leaders have no actual positions, and they are almost working for Baisha and Li Yao.
There will definitely be miners coming one after another, and it is a matter of three or five times, the more people come, the more crowded the camp will be, so now Li Yao has begun to prepare for expansion, if there are a lot of gold mines here, it is not impossible to form a small town after so many years, the news blockade is only temporary, as long as it is done in the early stage, so that the gold and silver can be fully turned, then Li Dan can expand the army in a big way, and he can carry out blatant mining, and he no longer has to be afraid of the Spaniards' covetousness.
Li Yao's abacus has already started, he will take this place as a starting point, a new starting point in life, falling from Luzon, and then getting up in Tuguegarao is also a good choice, besides, there are natural advantages here, there is no shortage of money!
Li Dan still has a few minerals in his hands, but the scale is average, not as large as this gold mine. So it's no surprise that this is the meeting point of several forces, and it's a lucrative job where everyone wants a piece of the action.
For a few days in a row, Bai Sha didn't go to the mine, he really didn't like the feeling of staying underground, he was bored these days, only quietly watching Li Yao arrange all the big and small affairs here, the more busy the other party was, the more bored Bai Sha was. For a few days, except for the four leaders, Bai Sha and the others did not have much intersection.
Li Yao has been doing things in the past few days, although Bai Sha has not asked, but he thinks that he also understands the operation of the gold mine, and generally knows what the overall process is, and the time is almost to leave for a short time.
Bai Sha found Yin Mo and told him that he was going to go to the market town to revisit and come back in a few days.
Bai Sha told Li Yao before leaving, and he would tell Li Yao his whereabouts when he left this time, and there would be no such thing in the future, so he could leave if he wanted to.
Li Yao was also helpless to indulge Bai Sha's casual behavior, on the one hand, the status of the two here is not high, and no one can command anyone. On the other hand, Li Yao can report this situation, but at least he can't do it now, he has to take root here and completely grasp everything here before he can do so, and now he has to cover up Bai Sha's casual behavior......
————
In the main hall of Luzon, Li Dan still sat on it.
This is a place to discuss things, except for people who are very familiar with the scene who can personally go to Li Dan's residence to discuss, other things are discussed here.
There are only three people in the main hall, Li Jian is standing next to Li Dan, and there is only one person under the ladder, if Bai Sha or Li Yao are present at this time, they will definitely know this person, he is the coachman of the leading carriage of the convoy.
The coachman looked not tall or short, not beautiful or ugly, and his skin was very rough, even at this time he was just wearing sackcloth, the dress of ordinary people, the feeling of ordinary people. Li Dan wants this kind of feeling, which allows him not to attract anyone's attention.
After the convoy returned to Luzon, the coachman came to meet Li Dan and report what he had seen and heard.
The coachman set out from Luzon, and told everything that happened in Tuguegarao in detail, and then waited below, not bothering Li Dan to think about things, and Li Yao guessed that the identity of the coachman was not simple.
After Li Dan pondered for a long time, he said: "Resolute and resolute means are good, but the person who chooses to open the knife is actually Li Yan's subordinates, with Li Yan's temper, I'm afraid he won't stop there, but there is no way to do it, but Li Yan's subordinates have come forward." ”
Li Yao asked the coachman: "What do you think of Baisha in the past few days?" ”
The coachman thought for a while and said: "Lord Hui, Baisha has been very quiet these days, but Li Yao only helped when he was in power, judging from the situation, he is even more ruthless to others and himself, this kind of person is very scary." It's just that he doesn't seem to have the intention of competing for power with Li Yao, as if he doesn't want to take care of things. The small one has a lot of mouths, and if this continues, Li Yao may be dominant. ”
Li Dan laughed, not worried about this situation at all, and said slowly: "Don't worry, there is a good saying, if you don't fight, you fight." It is human beings who have the nature of choice, and there will always be people who will support Baisha, because Baisha has already shown his hand, and this is enough. ”
Li Dan saw these things very clearly, and the coachman didn't say anything more.
Li Dan advised again: "Your identity still can't be exposed, take medicine on time every day, continue to pretend to be an ordinary person, and then restore your identity after this period of time and the situation is clear." ”
"My lord, our identity doesn't matter, we are shadows in the dark." The coachman said.
Li Dan nodded with satisfaction, signaling that the other party could retreat and prepare for the next absenteeism.
Li Jian's most concerned thing is still about when he can be often, and when the time comes, he can collide with Baisha head-on, but Li Dan told him to calm down for a while, and now after messing with Baisha, it will not be good to poke out the news.
After the coachman left, a person hurriedly walked in outside the main hall, Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong came with a message, and after entering the hall, he said in a little hurry: "My lord, Li Yao Feige sent an urgent message, and after receiving the news, he didn't dare to stay down, so he hurriedly came to report." ”
Li Dan rarely saw Zheng Zhilong's hurried appearance, and followed up to let the other party come quickly.
Zheng Zhilong continued: "My lord, the news of Tugegarao has been revealed, and it is a very early matter. ”
After hearing the news, Li Dan was also a little out of shape, and hurriedly asked, "Do the Spaniards know the news?" ”
Zheng Zhilong shook his head and said, "This is also a blessing in misfortune, it is not the Spaniard who knows the news, but the man in black!" ”
Li Dan frowned, "How did I know that the man in black knew the news?" ”
Zheng Zhilong paused and said, "Lord Hui, it was Bai Sha who told Li Yao about this. When Baisha happened to break into the den of the Men in Black in a small market town below Tuguegarao, he heard the secret, and the Men in Black wanted a piece of the gold pie. ”
Li Dan slapped his palm heavily on the chair and said, "Why did Bai Sha only say it now?" ”
Zheng Zhilong replied carefully: "With Bai Sha's temper, it is already a good thing to be able to say it. ”
Li Dan began to stop talking, at this time he had a great opinion of Bai Sha, although Bai Sha told this very important secret, what he had to face now was not only to prevent the news from leaking to the Spaniards, but also to always beware of the covetousness of the man in black.
Li Dan thought for a while and said: "Immediately send a message to Li Yan's side, and ask him to send more people to Dao Tuge Jialao, and there can be no slackness." ”
After Zheng Zhilong nodded, he immediately turned his head to do this matter, and the deployment of Tuguegarao was very important.
Now Zheng Zhilong is still a little worried about Baisha, he has received the news that Li Yao and Baisha have teamed up to clean up Li Yan's men, at this time Li Dan is anxious and afraid that something will happen, so he asked Li Yan to send more people, so that in Tuge Jialao, Li Yan's power will continue to expand, which is not a good signal.
Zheng Zhilong, the actual external controller, is also not easy to do, on the one hand, he has to carry out Li Dan's orders, on the other hand, he does not have too many manpower to be placed in Tugejialao, and now it seems that he can only issue some instructions at ordinary times, and the actual power is indeed limited.
After Zheng Zhilong left, Li Dan's face became very gloomy, and now it can be confirmed that the man in black knows the news. He didn't know if there was a connection between the Men in Black and the Spaniards, and judging from the current situation, the Spaniards did not seem to be aware of the existence of the gold mine, and the possibility that the Men in Black had a connection with the Spaniards was very small.
Now Li Dan needs to think about how to treat the man in black, but all this is empty talk without the flow of money, and without a steady stream of cannons, everything is empty talk. It can be said that Baisha's looting of the surrounding strongholds has caused a series of reactions, which has caused problems in the circulation of Li Dan's forces so far, and this gap can be filled with time, but what Li Dan lacks most now is time, and it is eager to expand military supplies, because now the ivory people have an uncontrollable situation.
Li Dan now has another choice, that is, he is desperate, thinking that the person who looted the surrounding strongholds is the man in black, which means that defeating the man in black will recover the lost silver, but this is a bit risky, first, it is possible that the silver cannot be recovered, but the rabbit will bite if he is in a hurry, and now he has not thoroughly figured out the strength of the man in black, and it is not safe to act rashly.
Li Dan was already a little anxious to deal with these things, Li Jian saw it in his eyes, and did not continue to mention the matter of Baisha to continue to add blockage, but tried to share his worries and said: "Father, what can I do now?" ”
Li Dan shook his head and said: "Now whether it is the man in black or the Spaniard, there is a delicate balance between us and us, as long as this state is not tilted, our static braking is the best choice." Now the key to all the problems is gathered on the gold mine of Tuguegarao, no matter how powerful the man in black is, he can't challenge us in this land, so now is to step up the defense, followed by the time when the gold bars are shipped back, the road back will not be smooth......"
Li Jian thought for a while and said: "On the way back to the gold, if the people in black dare to do it, we will destroy them with our hearts, and let them know that we are not vegetarians." ”
Li Dan let out a long sigh and said, "Don't you understand?" What does a leak mean? Our crisis is not from the outside, but from within us, this news is the highest top secret, and the people in Tugugarao can't get out, so there is an internal ghost between us. ”
"Who the hell is this man?" Li Dan didn't know who could give him an answer.
