Chapter 478: Clever
The two came to the construction site, and the workers saw it and immediately bowed to Liu Yong and Ouyang Lanlan. Liu Yong let his fellow men continue to work.
The foreman came to talk to Liu Yong, and he first bowed to Liu Yong with jealousy. He bowed to his wife again. Ouyang Lanlan nodded politely.
At this time, she is a lady, and she just nods to Liu Yong's subordinates.
At this time, Liu Yong asked the foreman, "How is the progress of the project now?" The reason why he asked was because he hadn't been to the construction site for three days, and he hadn't asked anyone to ask the foreman. He felt a little tired, so he wanted to rest and rest, the kind that didn't ask about the world.
But this break caused homesickness.
The foreman replied to Liu Yong: "Back to the east, the progress of the project in the past few days has been much faster, because our foundation is well laid." I expect the plant to be built in another month, and the next step is to install the equipment. It will take about another month. In other words, after two months, alchemy will be available here. ”
Liu Yong nodded after hearing this, then frowned and thought about it, and then asked, "I said, do you think this is good?" ”
"Please instruct the owner." The foreman said.
"I mean, how about you find a dozen or so mining experts from among these people and take my soldiers to open mines?" Liu Yong spoke his mind.
The foreman also frowned and thought about it, and then said: "It's just that this mining is a technical job, and the soldiers probably won't be able to do it!" ”
Liu Yong nodded after hearing this, and said: "Also, it's better not to do it if they don't know how to do it, and if there is any accident, the gains outweigh the losses." ”
"Well, what the owner said is very true." The foreman said.
Then the two fell into deep thought.
After a period of silence, Ouyang Lanlan suddenly said: "Xianggong, I don't know if I should say something for my wife?" ”
"Madame, but it doesn't hurt to say that." Liu Yong smiled at Ouyang Lanlan. He knew that Ouyang Lanlan was going to make a move for him. thought that Ouyang Lanlan was the smartest of all his wives.
Ouyang Lanlan smiled charmingly, her big eyes rolled around, and she said: "Xianggong, for the sake of his wife, it is still okay to let those soldiers do the work of building houses, so that the workers who open the mine can be vacated, and they can go to the mine." In this way, wouldn't it be possible to open a mine and build a house at the same time? ”
After listening to Ouyang Lanlan's words, Liu Yong's eyes immediately lit up, not only him, but also the foreman's eyes.
"Madame is so clever. The villain admires, the villain admires. The foreman immediately bowed in front of Ouyang Lanlan. Obviously, he was impressed by Ouyang Lanlan's cleverness.
Ouyang Lanlan smiled slightly and said softly: "Master doesn't have to be polite. I'm just joking. "She's very humble.
"Madame's casual joke has solved our big problem. In this way, we were able to train for gold a month earlier. The foreman still admired Ouyang Lanlan's strategy.
At this time, Liu Yong smiled and said, "Lan'er, your strategy is indeed good. ”
"Thank you for your praise, it's your duty to worry about your husband." After Ouyang Lanlan finished speaking, she smiled at Liu Yong, that smile could really lick Liu Yong's teeth out.
Liu Yong smiled back, and then said to him: "Okay, I will send five hundred soldiers to help you build a factory tomorrow." ”
"Well, in that case, I'll only have fifty craftsmen left on the construction site, and I'll let the rest go to the quarry." The foreman said excitedly. In fact, he also wants to refine gold for the owner as soon as possible.
It's not just the foreman, almost all the workers want to make the gold for the owner as early as possible. Because the owner Liu Yong has already paid them for a year's wages, they don't want to just take the money and not do things, they are all kind people. I don't want to be sorry for others.
Don't say anything else, what are you doing, talent is the most important thing. Otherwise, why would Liu Yong let Chen An carefully select workers for him. That's why.
If there are traitors, thieves, then his gold mines are not enough to lose gold. But of course, he can't be too relieved about these people. In the face of gold, petty theft is inevitable. For this purpose, he stationed three hundred soldiers here to watch the workers.
And these workers also understood what was going on, and they were used to it, because in the past, the gold and silver mines in the Great Song Dynasty were also heavily guarded.
So, these workers don't care about these things. For these soldiers, a barracks were also set up on one side of the factory, which is why the project is huge. It's just that the barracks are simple. Because the soldiers here have to be replaced every once in a while.
But these workers have to live here, and they can only leave here until Liu Yong says to evacuate. Because they signed a document with Liu Yong before they came, and they also signed a labor contract.
Otherwise, these people are getting such a high salary!
The workers were talking about it when they were on board.
"Hey! I said, this proprietor has given us three times the remuneration in the Great Song Dynasty, if we find no gold mine, then he will not lose his life? One said.
Another said, "What are you talking about?" People are the prime minister, we should call people the prime minister. He only corrected the man's mistake in the title, and said nothing else.
Another said, "No matter what it's called, I think it's risky for him to do it anyway." Like you said, if you can't find a gold mine, then he loses a lot of money. If nothing else, let's just say that we people eat and drink for a few months, or even a year, is enough for him to drink a pot. ”
"Ahem! You don't have to worry about Vaughn's affairs. Liu Xianggong has money, even if he can't find it? Besides, can he look for it slowly, he can always find it. And the place he went to was a gold mine that didn't have to pay money to the imperial court, it was for nothing. As long as we find a small gold mine, then our little salary, and food and drink, is it not a piece of cake? ”
This person understands something and speaks unhurriedly. It was approved by the majority of the people.
This is what these workers are talking about on the ship, but they are still worried about whether Liu Yong can find a gold mine. In fact, they don't know that Liu Yong is a modern person, and he knows where there is a gold mine. And he also knows that South Africa is the country with the largest number of gold deposits. He is not looking for a pain from a blind cat touching a dead mouse, but a target.
He is coming to South Africa.
The workers admired Liu Yong very much at this time, there was indeed a gold mine in this place, and they didn't run in vain.
