On the second day, the weather was fine.

Early in the morning, Wu Yanzhi, Qi Xuan, Jiang Shipeng, as well as Yufei, Yao Kuan and other four people, under the leadership of Cui Yu, Luo Jian and others, walked twenty miles and came to Xingli Fair!

But I saw the hills undulating, the ravines faint, the mountains and forests were lush, the clouds and mist were shrouded, and the birdsong was not noticed.

The scenery is good!

On a flat land, dozens of thatched houses have been built for temporary living, where craftsmen and officials live.

Countless sedimentary copper smelting ponds have been excavated on the mountain, and dozens of workers are constantly busy!

"Qi Qi Wu Shaoqing, the workers here are all farmers who are serving in forced labor nearby, and their work is still good!" Cui Yudao.

"How many springs are there here?" Wu Yanzhi asked.

Luo Jian, the person in charge of the smelting superintendent, said: "According to the experiments conducted by the inferior rank, there are a total of 32 bile water springs in this Xingli Field, but it seems that the copper content in the bile water in each place is different.

According to the previous experiments, there are 1 places where copper immersion takes 5 days, 14 places that take 7 days, and 17 places that take 9 days.

Of course, eight of them have dangerous terrain and inconvenient transportation, which has been mined by Wang Dashang. In addition, the gall soil in this vicinity also began to be collected and smelted according to Shaoqing's requirements. ”

When Wu Yan saw this scene, he felt that it was not bad, and the progress was even better than he expected. Later, he looked at the worker's accommodation and felt dirty and messy.

It's summer, and there are more people living here, which can easily cause epidemics. So he said, "There are hundreds of people living here, and it may be tens of thousands in the future," he said, based on what he knew a little bit about hygiene. It is important to prevent epidemics, I mean, that the workers' quarters should be divided into districts.

No more than 500 people can be accommodated in each area, and a garbage dump must be set up, and all unwanted garbage must not be discarded at will, but must be disposed of in the garbage dump.

In addition, each area should be managed by two people, who can be given a certain amount of subsidies or reduce the number of days of service, etc., so that they are responsible for hygiene, anti-theft, fire prevention and ......"

Wu Yanzhi arranged the relevant matters in detail. In fact, this can't be careless, if these thousands, tens of thousands of people are epidemic and there are too many dead, the saints will not be happy and will be impeached.

He demanded that garbage be disposed of at designated points and that garbage be incinerated regularly; The county was also asked to send two wardens to lead 20 arresters to be in charge of social order here.

At the same time, the Raozhou regiment was trained and two teams were stationed in the annex. The two teams were two hundred men, led by a lieutenant.

This is even more important than the prevention and control of epidemics, because in the future, thousands or tens of thousands of people will be here, and if any "uprising" breaks out, it will be a great event.

Of course, if you are managing it yourself, this kind of thing cannot happen. However, fights between ethnic groups are certainly unavoidable.

"Wu Shaoqing, there are so many of them, you have to have a pastime! Are they allowed to play? Cui Yu asked.

Gambling? This thing must not be banned! What can these workers do when they get off work and don't gamble or find women?

So he said: "Some of their small games can't be regarded as gambling." However, spontaneous gambling is okay, and it is not allowed to open a casino here for profit! ”

He just talked about the principles, as for who wants to open a casino, where can he care?

"Wu Shaoqing is meticulous and thorough, and he is admired by his humble rank. The lowly rank must manage this Xingli Fair, please rest assured Wu Shaoqing! Luo Jian said.

A group of officials such as Qi Xuan, Jiang Shipeng, and Cui Yu followed, and they were very impressed when they saw that Wu Yanzhi had arranged the work so meticulously and had key points.

Especially for people who don't know much about Wu Yanzhi, they can't help but admire in their hearts, this Wu Shaoqing is only more than eighteen years old, and he originally thought he was a member of the royal family! How can you do it so sophisticated?

Wu Yanzhi also saw their admiration, and thought to himself, he used to be the vice president of a modern large group with tens of thousands of people, what are these rabble?

Then, he prepared to go to the nearby Wenshan field to check the situation of the bile water copper field. When he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered another thing:

"What should be done with the cultivated land of the people? Even though the land is state-owned, how can they pay taxes if they don't have it? (Most of the Tang dynasty was on behalf of the state ownership of land, and some were also private)

Then Cui Yu said: "The humble post is about to report to the martial arts!" If you want to be a long-term miner here, give them a little salary, and pay taxes with your salary. It is also possible to appropriately reduce or reduce rents or adjust them, and replace them with work.

If the bile water here is mined, the land can naturally be reclaimed, and when the time comes, the county will redistribute it according to the population! ”

"Good! That's it! Secretary Jiang, you write this plan into a petition and report it to the imperial court. Such a big event must be reported in time! "The Way of Martial Arts.

"Yes!"

……

After seeing this Xingli Fair, Wu Yanzhi led them to Wenshan Field, which was ten miles away.

The scale of bile water in Wenshan Field is much larger than that of Xingli Field, and according to Cui Yu, there are a total of 85 bile water springs here.

There is not only copper, but also lead, zinc, and silver.

They planned to mine sixty-eight bile waters, and the rest of the locations were not only given to Wang Dong, but also to a businessman surnamed Hu introduced by Na Ji Den.

In particular, six acres of land were allocated to him, and six acres of land were also allocated to Wang Dong. Wu Yanzhi thought, after all, he is also a assassin, and this bit of face has to be given to him.

After Luo Jian's introduction, there are now 600 people here, and it may eventually reach 10,000 to 20,000 people, because it is necessary to start zinc mining and smelting.

He still briefly repeated a few key points from his words in Henry Lot, and then turned to the other side of the mountain to check the original silver, lead, and zinc mines.

"There were originally six copper pits, two lead pits, and three silver pits, and I asked Wu Shaoqing for instructions, is there still a state-owned zinc farm here?" Cui Yu asked.

Wu Yanzhi thought for a moment, and then said: "Forget it, it's difficult to manage if there are too many; You wait to find the five mine owners, and the Hu Dashang and Wang Dong introduced by Ji Tingshi are also called.

In the afternoon, I will not only introduce them to the methods of zinc smelting and silver smelting, but also teach them some methods of deepening the mine, how to ventilate, and how to beneficiate the mine, so as to increase the tax revenue of my big week! ”

In fact, this zinc smelting method is difficult to leak easily, and it is useless for Wu Yanzhi to keep it secret, so it is better to take it out as a personal favor.

As for how to mine, it is really to increase production and ensure the safety of workers. After all, it is a pity that the resources are lost, because the mining depth of these people is very shallow, only thirty or fifty meters.

In addition, the safety of the workers' lives is also very important, they are all the heads of the family, and if one person is injured and dies, the whole family will almost fall into a catastrophe.

……

Because of the long time spent on the mountain, not only had noon already passed, but it was already two quarters past the hour. Eunuch Luo hurriedly beckoned him to come down the mountain for dinner, saying that it was arranged at the house of the copper merchant Sun Biao

This Sun Dashang actually followed all along, he saw that Wu Yanzhi was very busy, and he didn't have time to ask Supervisor Luo for introduction. At this time, after taking a general look at the situation on the mountain, Wu Yanzhi, the supervisor of Luo, introduced several businessmen who accompanied him!
