Volume 1 Don't Use the Hidden Dragon Chapter 83 The First Arrival in the Mining Area
Pizi has been in charge of the intelligence system outside the mountain, and he is also responsible for protecting Lin Ziyuan's safety, so he also followed.
In a blink of an eye, I saw the resentment on the faces of Qiao Yunjuanzi and the others, okay, there is nothing big on the mountain, if you want to go, just follow along, who will you show with a long face?
What the? The bald Li Junxian is also going, and he is also taking his sister Li Shuxian, what are you two doing together?
Okay, okay, since there are already so many people, plus the two of them are nothing, anyway, his Zhang Zhongping's family has a big business, and no matter how many people go, they can live there, and they don't need him Lin Ziyuan to spend money on eating and drinking! Besides, this brother and sister teach everyone to read and write on the mountain, and they work hard, and this time they go out, it will be regarded as a public-funded tour!
"When you get to the county seat, you have to follow your second brother closely, you can't run around and cause trouble everywhere! Something happened, carry it yourself! Lin Ziyuan glared at Li Shuxian and threatened. This little girl is very arrogant all day long, without any scruples. Don't give me anything to do when the time comes.
Li Shuxian glared back: "Grandma, I can go wherever I want, I can do whatever I want, and I don't need you to care!" "She's not afraid of Lin Ziyuan.
Lin Ziyuan ordered another class of manual escorts. After breakfast, the group headed for the county seat. Along the way, Li Junxian and Lin Ziyuan chatted and were full of spirit.
Since he went up the mountain, his knowledge has really come into play, teaching everyone to read and write on weekdays, and he can read books and write articles when he has time.
When Lin Ziyuan was free, Li Junxian asked him questions, talked about current affairs, and made some short-term and long-term plans. The small life was much better than he had imagined.
Lee Jun-hyun likes to be called Mr. by others. A heartfelt and respectful gentleman can make him happy for a long time.
From the perspective of a scholar, Li Junxian's thinking is very open-minded. He never discriminated against the farmer. A few days ago, he also asked Lin Ziyuan for a piece of land, saying that he wanted to take his family to the field to cultivate and experience the hard work of farmers.
In the recruit training on weekdays, Li Junxian's brothers and sisters also participated as usual. According to his words, our generation of scholars must not only arm their minds with knowledge, but also use martial arts to exercise their physique and strengthen their bodies, so as to save the people from fire and water.
As for Li Shuxian, she doesn't have such big ambitions, she just thinks that if she wants to get Lin Ziyuan's favor, she has to be on par with Qiaoyun and the others first. Besides, this person, there is no harm in having one more skill.
The group came to Zhang's mansion, but was told that the old lady had gone out, saying that something had happened to the company's newly built coal railway, and there were local big families on the construction site who led people to obstruct it, and Zhang Lianfen took a few directors to negotiate and deal with it.
Zhang Zhongping also brought in the words, saying that there happened to be an important patient in the hospital, who was a dignitary in the government, and Zhang Zhongping needed to be in charge himself. He said that he couldn't greet him in person if he had something, so he would set up a banquet in the restaurant at noon and punish himself with three cups of reparation.
Of course, Lin Ziyuan didn't take this matter to heart, everyone settled down in Zhang's Mansion, presented gifts, said polite words, and drank tea, Lin Ziyuan proposed to go to the mine for a walk. The modern coal mining process, Lin Ziyuan is very familiar with, the coal mine of this period, he has not seen it with his own eyes!
Nanda Well, a mine with a long history, was built in the second year of Zhongzhou (1913), this well has gone through the entire history of Zhongzhou, and was occupied by the Japanese army after several wars. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, it was received into the arms of the people. It was used until a few decades after the establishment of the Huaxia Kingdom, and was closed until the underground coal resources were exhausted. Ask the local old people in Zaozhuang in later generations, there is no one who does not know Nandajing, and it is the most introduced in the historical exhibition hall of Zhongxing Company.
"This is the Nanda Well, which was built two years ago to produce charcoal, is one of the best wells in the world today, and uses a three-layer tank cage gas winch produced in Germany to lift charcoal, more than 600 horsepower!"
Accompanying Lin Ziyuan to visit was Zhang Lianfen's housekeeper Zhang Qingda, he was a distant relative of Zhang Lianfen, very knowledgeable, was a former Shengqing's lifter, and then the family declined, Zhang Lianfen invited him to be a housekeeper.
In detail, Zhang Qingda is a foreign housekeeper, and he mainly helps Zhang Lianfen deal with public and private affairs on weekdays, sorting out documents or something, just like a secretary in later generations.
He is very familiar with the affairs of the mine, and when he talks about it, he said: "My lord is heartbroken for this well, and most of his hair is white..."
"Uncle Zhang, Nan Dajing, have you been producing these days?" Lin Ziyuan interrupted Zhang Qingda's chatter.
As soon as he came to the mine, Lin Ziyuan faintly felt that something was wrong, as if something big was about to happen. There seemed to be hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him around him, desperate and miserable, giving people goosebumps all over their bodies! What is it? If something big happened to Nandajing, Lin Ziyuan should know it clearly, but he can't remember it...
"Don't dare! Mr. Lin can call me Qingda..."Zhang Qingda gave his hand humbly, but he was very puzzled in his heart, why did he suddenly ask this question?
"It's not always producing, a few days ago, a few small landlords in the countryside, for no reason, suddenly withdrew the money invested in the mines.
The other small shareholders are all rats, and after hearing the wind and rain, they thought that something big was going to happen in the mine, and they also withdrew their shares one after another, and finally made the company's funds tight.
In the past few days, didn't you Mr. Lin invest 100,000 oceans to come in, plus some raised by my lord, the funds are finally enough...
If you don't start work, you can't do it, these workers in the mine, plus their wives and children, thousands of them! If they don't work for a day, they won't have anything to eat for a day. Blocked at the gate of the company every day, asking to go to work immediately.
No, it's not been a few days since the resumption of work! It's okay now, as long as the mine is alive and the charcoal is out, there will be no money to use in the future..."As long as Zhang Qingda opened his mouth, he couldn't stop the car, and the words were poured out sentence by sentence.
The small landlords he was referring to should be the family members of the meat tickets on Mawang Mountain. Unexpectedly, due to the arrival of Lin Ziyuan, the trajectory of history has quietly shifted a little.
"I heard that there is a white bone tower and a big tomb in the mine, why can't you see it? I've wanted to come and see it for a long time! Li Shuxian squeezed out of the crowd and asked Zhang Qingda with wide eyes.
"Oh... These places are not on the side of Nandajing, far away from this and there, you can't see it..."Zhang Qingda's old face suddenly pulled down.
This girl, she doesn't have a door to speak, how dare she ask anything? What is the place of the White Bone Tower and the Great Tomb? It was the burial place of the dead miners, and it was taboo to mention this in the mine.
Originally, the mine was full of places where a group of big men came and went, and women were generally not allowed to enter. Just seeing that Lin Ziyuan was a shareholder of the company and a relative of his master, he couldn't bear to say anything, so he brought Qiaoyun and a few of them over to have a look.
"You dead girl, don't talk nonsense if you have nothing to do, no one will treat you as a dumb person if you don't speak!" Lin Ziyuan is very clear about the Tao here, I said why do you think someone is staring at me, it turns out to be you crazy girl! grabbed the back of Li Shuxian's neck with his hand and pressed it into Li Junxian's arms next to him.
A flash of light flashed through Lin Ziyuan's mind, and he suddenly remembered that it was this Nanda Well, which had a water penetration accident in 1915, killing more than 500 miners and injuring more than 200 people! What happened on that day?
"What the hell! Men and women don't kiss, you are a big man, how can you touch people casually..."Li Shuxian chattered.
"Don't make a noise!" Lin Ziyuan spoke sternly and reprimanded this lawless girl. What day is it?
"Brother! You see, your master is murdering me..."Li Shuxian's tears swirled in the frame of her eyes, thinking about it, this girl is also a beautiful girl who is loved by everyone, and she frequently shows favor to you, so you treat it as invisible, blind? It's also a murderer!
Li Shuxian was extremely aggrieved: "What is fierce, look at how fierce you are, I will fill you in the white bone tower when I turn around, I will not see you for the rest of my life, my aunt and grandmother are not rare!" ”
"Uncle Zhang, what time is it today?" Lin Ziyuan ignored her and asked Zhang Qingda next to him anxiously.
"March 17 of the second year of Zhongzhou, the second day of the second month of the lunar year, today is the dragon raising its head..."Zhang Qingda opened his mouth and subconsciously added. He didn't understand, okay, how did he become so anxious?
