Chapter 641: Wolf Heart and Dog Lung

And now, once again, there is good news.

It is said that the king of Shu in the Tang Dynasty wants to mine silver ore on the silver mountain outside the silver city.

Some of these Japanese people originally lived in this vicinity.

They had never heard of silver mines in the midst of this mountain of silver.

Eh, this mountain was not originally called Yinshan, it was all given by the King of Shu in the Tang Dynasty.

However, since the King of Shu wants to mine, he is now ready to recruit manpower.

I heard that working on a silver mine is tiring and life-threatening.

But the salary is high, thirty dollars a day, and three meals a day.

Thirty dollars!

Oh my!

This day's wages are worth three times their wages for building a house!

It's worth six or even ten times as much as they used to work.

Such a salary, they used to be, but they didn't even dare to think about it.

As a result, among the 100,000 Japanese people, there were many applicants.

The people here are basically all young and strong.

Of course, women can't go to the mines.

And men, basically all came to sign up.

The first batch, of course, did not need so many people.

And the work of selecting people is done by Guishan.

Guishan was the first official of the Wa Kingdom to take refuge in the King of Shu.

Moreover, Guishan's daughter Sakura is still serving him by the side of the King of Shu.

It is impossible for Li Su not to take care of Guishan.

The work in charge of this silver mine fell to Guishan.

Of course, Li Su naturally couldn't give him all the power.

Naturally, there will also be a department that oversees him.

And Guishan also cherishes this hard-won opportunity.

Although he is now only in charge of a mine, it seems that he is not much smaller than his previous official position.

But that's not the case anymore.

Guishan knew very well that he was able to win such a position, and it was not unrelated to his daughter Sakura.

However, if he is not qualified for this work group, I am afraid that there will be no follow-up.

Only if he does this job well and lets the King of Shu see his ability, then maybe he will be able to get a greater opportunity in the future.

As for whether there will really be the world's largest silver mine on top of this silver mountain, in fact, Guishan does not believe it.

This King of Shu of the Tang Dynasty, although he has no last resort to fight, is extremely powerful.

But this silver mountain, I haven't even heard that he sent someone to explore.

Could he be guessing the beans?

Can you tell with your eyes that this mountain contains a lot of silver?

Or the largest in the world?

Guishan categorically refused to believe this kind of thing.

But, with or without it, he has to get things done.

Even if he doesn't, as long as the King of Shu sees his ability, it will be enough.

If there is, he will send it.

This position is not even smaller than his previous position!

Therefore, when selecting the first batch of people, Guishan also worked extraordinarily.

The people of the Japanese country who were selected were dancing excitedly.

Those who are not selected are frustrated.

Although people said that they would continue to recruit people when they waited for the second batch.

And there will be more and more people recruited, and there may not be enough people in Yincheng.

But in their hearts, they don't really have much hope.

Is there really a lot of silver in this mountain?

These people, in fact, really don't believe it.

Guishan's ability is still quite strong.

All affairs were in his hands, and they were carried out in an orderly and orderly manner.

The mining of silver mines is also in full swing.

In order to prevent these workers from worrying, the current wages are paid once a day.

That's 30 dollars a day.

The first batch of workers who worked in the mines, after they returned, became the people around them and the objects of envy.

And which young girls like and are sought after.

For every worker, there are at least a dozen or even more girls to pursue.

And the other young people, more than that, are envious, jealous and hateful.

Ten days later, the workers who were mining suddenly found a touch of silver in the stone tendons.

"It's out! Out of the silver! It's really out of the silver! ”

In this mountain of silver, there is really silver!

In fact, they have not been able to find the silver, and they are also very panicked.

Because of the work here, they really like it, and they can't wait to do it for a lifetime.

But if they can't find the silver mountain, how long can they do it?

And now, at last, the money has been found, and in this way, they are completely relieved.

Guishan, the principal here, hurriedly ran over after learning the news.

As a steward, he is actually very anxious.

If he can't find a silver mine, he's in charge, I'm afraid it's over.

What's even more anxious is that he hasn't been able to show himself better until now!

And now, when he heard that the silver was finally out, he was even more excited.

Soon, Guishan appeared on the scene.

"It's really a silver mine! There's really silver! ”

The country was rich in silver, and there were many people here who had experience in judging whether a silver mine was rich in storage.

Gui Shan couldn't help asking: "Look at it, what is the storage capacity of this silver mine?" ”

Although silver ore has been discovered, it is not yet known how much it is stored, and Guishan is still a little worried.

I heard a miner report: "Chief, this is a bonanza!" Bonanza! ”

"Look at the color, look at the width, I've never seen a better silver mine in my life!"

"The villain doesn't dare to say that this is the largest silver mine in the world, but at least, it is also the largest silver mine in our whole country!"

Syllable!

Guishan slapped the miner hard.

With this slap, Gui Shan used all his strength, blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, and half of his face was like fermented steamed buns, high and swollen.

This slap directly turned the miner in a big circle.

This is not the end, Guishan went up with a kick and kicked him directly to the ground.

The miner clutched his stomach on the ground in pain and bent it into a prawn.

The other miners, seeing the chief manager Guishan, were inexplicably furious, and they all took a step back in horror.

The miner, who was kicked to the ground by Guishan, asked in wonder, "Boss, why are you hitting the small one?" What's wrong with the little one? ”

Could it be that I was wrong when I said that this is a bonanza?

I only heard Guishan sneer: "What did you say wrong?" You still don't know? ”

"You just said, we are all in the country? Now, where is the Wa Kingdom? Still us? Who are you with? ”

"You are looking for death yourself, and don't bring Lao Tzu! Now, we are all the people of Datang, and we only have Datang in our eyes! ”

Hearing Guishan's words, the miner couldn't help but be shocked into a cold sweat.

The surrounding miners couldn't help but suddenly realize.

The miner, who was kicked to the ground, couldn't help but struggle to get up, and kowtowed to Guishan several times on the ground.

"The villain, thank you for the grace of the steward not to kill."

What he said just now is enough to cut off the head.

The manager beat him just now, but it was actually an extrajudicial favor.

Guishan nodded and said, "It's good if you know, and when you speak in the future, you must be cautious." ”

"However, today there is a silver mine, and it is still the largest silver mine in the world. That's good news! ”

"Today, go back and rest, and when you are rested, you will come back to work tomorrow!" By the way, if you go to pay 50 yuan, it is your salary today, so I will say that the manager said it! ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, boss!"

The miners who were beaten are really grateful.

Although he was beaten, the manager was all for his good, which was a life-saving grace.

And, after being beaten, he was asked to go back to rest and gave him fifty yuan.

This kind of treatment made other miners want to be beaten themselves, even if it was a beating.

On the silver mountain, the news of the rich mine appeared, and it spread far and wide.

And Guishan also began to recruit workers again.

This time it was a recruitment, but it was a large number of recruitment.

When a silver mine appears, more people are needed.

Mining ore requires a lot of manpower, and it takes manpower to mine and extract it.

After extraction, it is minted into silver ingots, which also requires human labor.

The second batch of recruits directly recruited tens of thousands of people.

Moreover, this time it is not limited to young people, but also recruits women.

Of course, women's jobs are all simple jobs, basically cooking or something.

Moreover, the daily salary is only ten cents.

But even the ten-penny salary surprised the women.

Like in the past, how dare they think that they will be paid ten cents a day!

However, even so, in a short period of time, it is impossible to use all the 100,000 people gathered in this silver city.

Guishan estimates that it will take at least two or three years for everyone to be used.

At this time, Li Su, the king of Shu, and King Luo Bin of Haibei Province came to inspect.

Guishan hurriedly rushed over to accompany him, and took the two of them around the construction sites of Yincheng and Yinshan.

After the inspection, Li Su and Luo Bingwang glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

This Guishan, there is still ability.

This mine was managed by him in a neat and orderly manner.

In the future, you can rest assured that this task will be entrusted to him.

Of course, we must also beware of his corruption and bribery.

Luo Bingwang couldn't help asking: "Manager Gui, your work is doing well. By the way, do you have any difficulties here? ”

After hesitating for a moment, Guishan still spoke.

Speaking out may leave an impression on Shangguan that he is not very capable.

But this problem, he really can't solve.

If this problem is not solved, something big will happen sooner or later, and when the time comes, his fate may be even worse.

Gui Shan couldn't help but say: "Jiedu envoy, the lower officials really have a difficulty. ”

"There are more than 100,000 people in this silver city, but there are only 10,000 or 20,000 people who can be used in this mine for the time being."

"It is estimated that it will take two or three years to gradually expand the manpower to 50,000 or 60,000 people, or even more."

"But now the work has just begun, and there really aren't so many people."

"The rest of the people have no jobs, and the land around here is quite barren. You can't support yourself by farming. ”

"As for how to solve their food problems, Xia Guan really doesn't know what to do."

Hearing Guishan's question, King Luo Bin couldn't help but nodded.

Then he smiled and said, "You are now in the mine, and the number of workers is already 15,000 or 6,000, right?" ”

Gui Shan couldn't help but nod and said, "Hui Jie Du envoy, that's the case." ”

Luo Bingwang continued: "Actually, there are still a lot of employment opportunities. ”

"Some miners, for example, are single. Who will wash this garment? If the clothes are torn, who will repair them? ”

"So, it's completely possible to organize women, open a pulp shop, and help them sew and mend."

"In addition, you can sell all kinds of snacks."

"After this silver ore is mined, the silver ingots will be minted, and after the casting is completed, it will always need to be transported, right?"

"That's where you need a coachman."

"At the same time, I will also greatly assist you in your work. Now the development of the entire Haibei Province is tilted towards Yincheng first. ”

"I will build a road in Yincheng, which needs to be extremely wide, with at least eight troikas passing side by side."

"There are obstacles in the middle, on both sides of the road, one-way driving, and it is absolutely not allowed to be chaotic."

"So, in your silver city, you still need to catch fast to maintain order."

"A large number of people need to be used, and these 100,000 people will not be idle."

"If you can do a good job in Yinshan and Yincheng, this official will make you the lord of Yincheng and be responsible for everything in Yincheng and Yinshan Mine."

Hearing the news, Guishan's eyes lit up suddenly.

That's great!

The city lord of this silver city is even more powerful than he used to be!

He Guishan, no matter what, he must seize this opportunity!

So, Guishan immediately said: "Yes, Shangguan! The lower official guarantees to complete the task! ”

In the following time, the Yincheng side really began to build roads.

And Guishan also began to recruit people, and with the people of Yincheng, he began to open shops to benefit them and increase their employment opportunities.

Guishan was so busy that he almost didn't have time to rest, but he was as happy as he could.

Because with the smooth development of various tasks, the entire Yincheng has been completely revitalized by him.

And the Jiedu envoy did not lose his trust, and directly let him sit in the position of the acting city lord of Yincheng.

After three months, if nothing goes wrong, he will become the first lord of Silver City.

The new houses they built have now been sold in large numbers.

The miners who work on the silver mountain are almost a set of hands.

Their wages are thirty dollars a day.

A month is 600 Wen, and their monthly repayment is only 200 Wen.

It's an easy thing for them.

The first batch of houses sold out quickly.

Now, the second batch of houses is already under construction.

The entire Silver City is being discovered at a rapid pace.

Of course, this development is not limited to Silver City.

But the entire Haibei Province is in a rapid development.

And Yincheng is the one with the fastest development rate in it.

Of course, the reason why Haibuk Province is developing so rapidly.

It is completely inseparable from the support of Datang.

Datang's treasury is now too sufficient, and the grain can't be eaten.

Now, many people are studying how to add value to food and process it into a variety of delicacies and sell it.

And now?

Because of the rapid development of Haibei Province, a large amount of food and various materials are needed.

This has led to a slight increase in the price of grain.

And Haibei Road, because of the support of Datang behind it, has developed more rapidly.

It's a win-win situation.

On the Haibei side of the province, the silver mine is gradually entering the formalization.

The engraved silver ingots are being continuously transported to Datang.

Datang officially began to launch the era of using silver as currency.

With the injection of silver from the Japanese Kingdom, Datang finally does not have to worry about the problem of insufficient currency.

The huge silver reserves of Haibei Province and the huge input function also made the imperial court begin to pay attention to Haibei Province.

Except for the amount of silver that must be imported every year, all other policies have begun to tilt towards Haibuk-do.

The festival of Haibei Province made Luo Bin Wang also began to introduce a large number of technical talents from Datang.

For example, the monthly salary of agricultural talents in Datang is about six yuan, that is, six thousand yuan a month.

And the monthly salary given by the Wa State is directly fifteen yuan.

In addition, as soon as you come to the Wakoku, you will be allocated a house immediately.

Even a daughter-in-law can be assigned if you wish.

These technical talents, who get a high salary every month, want to arrange a daughter-in-law, and there is simply too much room for picking.

These agricultural talents are definitely a treasure.

They can instruct the local people on how to plant and how to mix according to the soil and climate of Haibei Province.

I believe that in a maximum of two years, the entire Wa country will be self-sufficient in advance, and it will definitely not be a problem.

There are also experts in the aquaculture industry.

They can help the people of Haibei Province to set up chicken farms, duck farms and pig farms, and teach them how to breed scientifically.

Such talents, with a monthly salary, also reach 12 yuan per month.

Even those financial and accounting talents, the monthly salary reaches ten yuan every month.

Well, by the way, now Datang has launched silver.

As a place for silver mining, Haebuk Province also introduced a silver standard system.

The current monthly salary was agreed to be exchanged for silver, which was ten taels of silver.

What other planning talents, blah blah blah, blah blah, and so on.

Then, Li Su stepped forward to adjust and mobilize technical personnel to build the power station.

Began to build a power station and a signal tower in the country.

I believe that it will not be long before Haibei Provincial TV Station will be officially established.

In just a few months, Haibei Province has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The surviving people of the Japanese Kingdom are living in a way they never dreamed of before.

If they had known that they would be so happy to become the people of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that they would have cried and shouted that they would have become the people of the Tang Dynasty.

But soon, they began to be dissatisfied with their lives.

Because, among them, there are some Tang people.

Well, now everyone is a Tang person, and these are just inland Tang people.

They don't have to work, they just need to help them remember their work and calculate their wages.

For such a simple job, each of them is paid 210 cents a day.

Seven times as many as they were.

And as soon as they come, they will be assigned a house, and as long as they have worked for ten years, this house will always be theirs.

This kind of treatment makes them very envious.

It's the same Tang people, but they are local, and those Tang people are from the mainland.

Is the gap between people so big?

In all things, there is no widowhood, but unevenness.

Some bold locals asked about it around the corner.

The reply they received was that as long as they could write and calculate, and if they didn't make mistakes, their wages would be so much.

But the problem is, they don't know at all!

At this time, some of them became popular with Chinese language and arithmetic cram schools.

These cram schools take into account the fact that these workers have to work during the day.

Cram schools are only held in the evenings.

It's not expensive every day, and you only need to pay ten cents to go in and study.

Well, in fact, the price of ten cents is not cheap.

After all, the wages of those construction workers are only ten cents a day.

But even so, there is still an endless stream of people who go to the training courses every day.

After all, as long as they can learn, they can not do anything, they only need to write and calculate the work.

Moreover, the wages for this work are seven times their current wages.

In Haibei Province, a Chinese wind soon blew up.

……

Recently, the development of Yincheng can be said to be changing with each passing day.

The city lord Guishan is very busy every day, but he feels very fulfilled.

Every day, I see that the area under my jurisdiction is changing.

Seeing the people under his rule and their lives getting better little by little, Guishan felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pride in his heart.

This kind of feeling has never been experienced before.

It turns out that being an official is not only about responsibility and that feeling of power, but also about having this incomparable sense of pride and superiority.

Recently, however, Guishan has also found some bad signs.

Anything, developed to a certain extent, is bound to bring some negative things.

And the bad sign that Guishan found is that someone has recently secretly taken out a silver mine.

This silver ore has a high concentration, and with a little refining, it can be refined into pure silver.

The benefits in this are naturally much higher than simply taking wages.

This kind of sign must be stopped, otherwise, it will bring huge losses to the silver mine.

Guishan decided to investigate this matter strictly.

This kind of thing must be nipped in the bud.

On this day, Guishan led a large number of guards and lurked outside.

Then, when the workers were leaving work, the gate was shut.

Everyone, all of them were blocked in the yard.

Guishan led the soldiers and surrounded the workers.

This scene made all the workers panic.

What's going on?

Could it be that something is going to happen again?

These people have all experienced the previous war.

Seeing the siege of the army, these workers' faces changed.

Seeing this scene, Guishan didn't explain too much.

Instead, a large army was dispatched first, and these workers were directly lined up in line.

Then each row and between each column, are spaced apart.

In this way, it is convenient for them to search, and they are not afraid that they will secretly abandon it or hide it.

At this time, Guishan took out a loudspeaker and shouted, "Don't worry, don't panic." ”

"The reason why I asked you to come here is because, recently, some people have unclean hands and feet!"

"Someone is stealing ore from the mine! Hum! Something with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs! Have you eaten enough of your conscience? ”
