Chapter 160: Digging for Gold
For a patriarch like Zariji, who is still living in the state of a primitive man who drinks blood, Liu Wei really doesn't know what way he should use to educate this "savage" patriarch.
But since he has the name of someone else's master, he must try to train him as a normal person as much as possible.
Gold mining is the beginning.
He asked Zariji to select two thousand able-bodied ones from among his people, and he personally led them, and the next day he left the poor tribe and went to the two peaks that Millet and Ben had chosen before.
A gold mine, a silver mine.
As for the digging tools, for now they can only use the Poor Blade: an axe made of stone.
Previously, when he was creating the pair of water-splitting Emei thorns for the Netherwoman, it took Liu Wei a long time to complete.
He also thought about using the ability to forge blades to create some digging tools, but due to the large number of tools needed, even if these tools were much simpler than blades, he couldn't make two thousand in a short period of time.
Millet and Ben Ben had discovered a relatively small iron ore mine on a mountain in the territory of the Guyue Clan, and Liu Wei planned to wait for the second planting of those agricultural items to be mined by the Guyue Clan and use ordinary forging methods to make some tools.
There are many people + great strength, even with the most primitive tools, the speed of excavation is very fast, but in just ten days, Liu Wei saw the first piece of gold.
The first Qiqi people to get the gold may not know what the word "gold" represents, or maybe in their eyes everything is edible.
In short, when he found the yellow gold nugget the size of a baby's fist, his first reaction was to take a bite of it.
Liu Wei was watching from a short distance at the time, and the first thing that came to mind was that this method of testing gold with teeth might be human instinct.
But the next second, he regretted it.
For he saw that the poor man wanted to swallow the piece of gold whole.
Liu Wei kicked Zariji, who was standing next to him and smirked on the leg, and said helplessly:
"If you don't go and let the man spit out the gold, just wait and see him die, for gold is not food, and if you eat it, you will die."
Zariji was stunned for a moment, then took a big stride, rushed to the back of the clansman in a few steps, slapped him on the back of the head, and directly punched out the gold nugget he had just put into his mouth.
Fortunately, the body of the poor Qi clan is strong, if it were an ordinary person, it would be at least an explicit comminuted fracture if it was just a slap.
(How do I think someone would say I don't understand what it means to have an explicit comminuted fracture?) ^_^)
Zarigi leaned over to pick up the gold nugget and yelled at his people, who nodded blankly one by one, and began to lower their heads again, not paying much attention to their own patriarch.
At this time, Liu Wei had already understood the characteristics of some of the poor Qi people, they were only excited when they were going to fight, and the rest of the time they were like this, not because they were dissatisfied with the patriarch of Zariji.
As soon as the gold is dug up, Liu Wei can be regarded as a standard "family mine", and it is still a gold mine.
There is no need for permits, not even for the mine.
Because, Liu Wei did not make a hole, but dug directly, and it was OK to leave steps for people to go up and down while digging.
As for how to obtain higher purity gold through refining and processing, I'm sorry, Liu Wei hasn't thought about it, and he doesn't need it.
Is there a second person in the Southwest Wilderness who can mine gold?
Even if 80% of the gold characters he mined were copper, it didn't matter, because "Lao Tzu is a monopoly"!
What is unique is the best.
Seeing more and more gold dug up every day, Liu Wei was indescribably happy in his heart.
Nowadays, many people say that gold soil can't be used, and gold jewelry can't be brought out, and it will be ridiculed.
Liu Wei just wants to say, that's because you wear less!
Try a ton?
I guess even if some parts of her body fail, she will love your fingers!
This is the money theorem.
Money, money, without gold, is it still called money?
Liu Wei did not intend to let the poor Qi clan pay their labor in vain, as a five-good young man and honest small trader on the earth, others must be rewarded for their labor.
Therefore, Liu Wei gave five percent of the gold mined to Zariji, and personally demonstrated the methods of cutting trees, cutting wood, and building houses, so that he could go back and teach his people.
One of the most important skills is to start a fire.
This is a sign of human development and progress, but it is a pity that the poor Qi people are not able to do it now.
In comparison, the Guyue Clan was able to eat cooked food, which was already quite good.
There is nothing else in the wilderness of the southwest, if you want to talk about trees, it is really how many there are, and Liu Wei does not need to think about whether indiscriminate felling will destroy the ecological balance.
On the whole, it is still in a primitive state, and not only does it not need to be controlled, but even encourages this "destruction".
In this way, it may be possible to present the same prosperous scene as the Central Plains in a few years.
The gold given to Zarigi was meant to allow them to trade agricultural goods with the Guyue Clan.
Liu Wei did not find much suitable soil for cultivation in the territory of the poor Qi clan; According to the population of the Qiqi Clan, even if they reclaim the land to grow agricultural products in the future, it is far from being able to meet the demand, so they must buy it from the Guyue Clan or other satisfied hands.
Moreover, the poor Qi people are really not ordinary dull, just a way to make fire, Liu Wei has taught Zarigi many times, but he can't learn it.
When he was in Yuzhou City, Liu Wei had seen the fire fold they used to make fire, but he didn't know how to do it.
In the beginning, he thought that everything was very simple, just to teach these barbarians basic life skills.
But when it comes to doing it, it's not like that at all.
After teaching them how to make a fire, let them know how to cook the food. These two items alone involve a lot of related things.
You need a pot to make a fire and cook, right? If you have a pot, you need to build a stove, right? You should at least cut it into both meat and vegetables, right? You have to have a set of utensils for dinner, right?
This time, the bits and pieces are inseparable, and Liu Wei alone can't really teach it.
He now defines the poor Qi tribe as mainly mining various minerals.
Now it is digging directly, and in the future, it is necessary to let them know how to dig the mine hole and how to fix the support to prevent collapse.
But these, Liu Wei just knows that he should do this, and he doesn't know how to operate it at all.
After mining a certain amount of gold, Liu Wei planned to return to the Guyue Clan first.
Calculating the time, the seeds planted in the second wave were almost reaching maturity now, and he needed to go back and see how they were learning.
If possible, he also planned to go back to Yuzhou City to bring some people, otherwise he would not be able to do everything even if he was busy alone.
