Chapter 2 015 The Surprise of Sending Back to Koto
In a flash, half a month has passed! In the past half a month, those miners have been frantically mining gold mines day and night! Later, because of the gradual increase in the amount of mining! With just these 100 miners, it's already a bit stretched! Seeing this, Guan Zheng gave another order, that is, let Ling Tong go to Feiqian to transfer troops! Let these soldiers carry out the mining operations under the guidance of the miners! Every two miners are responsible for the work of a hundred soldiers, and multiple points are carried out at the same time! I have to say that after doing this, the progress of mining has increased significantly!
Baskets of gold sand dug out of the open-pit gold mine were immediately transported to the washing pond not far away, and handed over to the soldiers inside for scrubbing and screening! Piles of gold sand were washed out and piled on the ground that was very well organized! Under the sunlight, it shimmers dazzlingly!
"Ling Tong, Ling Tong?" Guan Zheng was shirtless, helping to carry the gold sand on the side! His mouth was shouting about his nephew!
"This, this!" Ling Tong still appeared in front of his uncle for the first time!
"Go, bring some people, and build me some big stoves! By the way, bring a few pots! It's over, let people cut down more trees! Guan Zheng was carrying the heavy gold sand while commanding Ling Tongdao!
"What?" Ling Tong scratched his head and asked!
"Turn gold sand into gold water, that's right! Find some people and some mud and make molds! Guan Zheng faced this somewhat sluggish nephew, and had to patiently explain to him!
To say that Ling Tong's efficiency is still leveraged! Soon, the pot was on the stove! There are also piles of trees cut down in sections! As for the mud mold, anyone who played with mud as a child will!
Guan Zheng took a shovel and shoveled the gold sand into the pot one by one! Wait until it's almost pretended, and then order people to light it! Strands of black smoke filled the slopes all around, and as the temperature rose and the gold sand melted, the black pot was dyed golden yellow! And the people standing around are like the eighteen bronze men of Shaolin Temple!
"Quick, set up the pot and pour it into the mold slowly! Slow down, slow down! When Guan Zheng saw that the fire was almost over, he hurriedly ordered those miners to come and help!
As the gold juice in the pot was emptied, there were hundreds of gold bricks wrapped in mud on the ground in an instant! For this gold all over the ground, the officials in charge no longer bother to calculate how many taels there are! I'm afraid I have to calculate it in tons!
"That's it! You do the same, Ling Tong, you personally escort these gold bricks and send them to the ship!" "Guan Zheng doesn't want to put this gold on the road like this!
In this way, Ling Tong's tragic fate began! From here to the dock of the ship on the beach, it takes about an hour, and it takes two hours to come and go! There are up to four round-trips during a day, and in order to rush the progress, Guan Zheng also ordered fires to be lit along the road, so that these soldiers in charge of carrying them can start night work or something! However, the officials in charge did not treat these soldiers badly, they were given priority in food, not to mention good wine and meat, and each person was given an additional reward of ten taels of gold! The soldiers are used to following orders, and even if many of them have worn out their feet, as long as Guan Zheng does not give the order to rest, they will continue to carry out orders there!
From the next day, Guan Zheng ordered the soldiers below to rotate back and forth! In this way, if a few thousand soldiers are on a rotation, it will basically take several days to make a round trip! The soldiers don't feel too much to work on, and everyone can get a little bit of the reward! In this way, the efficiency is a little higher! Later, there were soldiers with better physical strength who offered to move a few more times! Then you will be rewarded more! Although the rewards that followed were not as great as on the first day, they were not as many as they were on the first day. But if you can work here for a year, no, even for a few months! You can build a pretty bright house at home! The soldiers thought so and did so! In addition to their normal duties, almost all of their spare time, they come to participate in the army of carrying gold bricks!
Soon, the bilge of a building ship was filled with gold bricks! At this time, only ten days have passed since Guan Zheng discovered the gold mine! The supplies and food in the cabins have all been transferred to the stone barracks in the camp! And Guan Zheng is now planning to empty the remaining building ship to make room for these gold bricks! He had already begun to imagine the wonderful expression on Xiao Quanzi's face when these gold bricks were transported back to Jiangdong! Of course, there are far more wonderful expressions than just small powers! I'm afraid that everyone in Jiangdong will look good on their faces!
Just as the supplies on the second building ship were unloaded, Ling Tong had to run back to the fat front again! This time, he took over Zheng's orders and went to transfer the ships! Guan Zheng's order to him was to always ensure that there were two spare ships docked in the harbor of Satsuma! With the empty building ship, Ling Tong embarked on a voyage to Feiqian! He was accompanied by thousands of tired soldiers. These soldiers, who have been overworked for more than ten days, will be sent back to Hizen Port to rest! And the soldiers in front of the fat will also be sent a thousand people over to continue to do what their comrades have done!
When Ling Tong returned, he was accompanied by three ships and three thousand soldiers! In this way, the two places of Hizen and Satsuma each have five building ships and 5,000 soldiers! Such strength, in terms of the current mud bombardment, is already a force that can build a country! So Guan Zheng is not worried that there will be little devils who are not eye-opening to find trouble! On the contrary, he was still looking forward to it, in his words: "How good it would be to send them to the door, lest Lao Tzu go to them with mud!" ”
Another ten days, and finally, the gold bricks filled the two building ships! Guan Zheng touched his face, which was slightly blackened by the sun, and said to Ling Tong, "You take the boat back!" Don't forget! After the ship docks, don't be busy unloading! ”
"Well, don't be busy unloading, the first thing is to go to Jianye quickly, and ask the lord to come to Wu County to receive the goods in person! The second thing is to go to my uncle's house and report safety to my aunts and milk! The third thing is to bring supplies and seeds, and the farmer to come and bombard the mud! The fourth thing I did was to go home and give these rewards to Daddy! Right? Uncle? Without waiting for Guan Zheng to finish nagging, Ling Tong recited it to him one by one with his fingers! In the past few days, Guan Zheng has been chanting these things next to his ear! So much so that his nephew was able to recite it! This also reflects from the side how much Guan Zheng attaches great importance to this return flight! He wants to surprise Sun Quan, and he also wants to surprise Sun Shangxiang!
