Chapter 40: Where Your Brother Is, Home Is There!
When everyone was ecstatic by the golden veins on the stone wall, Huang De sat alone on the grass outside the cave in a daze.
He smiled and felt the sun and the grass, and even the bare and hideous peaks in the distance were particularly lovely.
Just two nights and one day made him feel like a man from another world.
Perhaps without going through absolute darkness, the true light will not be understood.
Then things were simpler, and they happened to discover a slightly smaller mountain gold mine near the original pyrite.
They hurriedly sent someone to report to the Liuqiu army that they had discovered a gold mine.
Two men came and registered their gold mines, and then they also planted flags indicating private mines.
Soon, many big merchants came to the door to buy gold mines------ Gao Xiaoer directly selected the people of New Oriental Company, because he had only heard the name of New Oriental Company in Da Song, and he didn't believe the others.
The manager of the New Oriental Company offered 150,000 yuan for the cave gold mine, and the smaller one offered 50,000 yuan.
Gao Xiaoer discussed with everyone and said: "At a fixed price, the cave gold mine costs 200,000 yuan, and the smaller one is not sold, and our brothers dig it themselves." ”
The manager of New Oriental Company smiled and said, "You dig yourself? Are you going to settle here? ”
Gao Xiaoer also smiled and said, "Why not?!" Manly people are all over the world, this is not just talking------ I will wait here to buy another pasture, a farm, and a few more sea boats, and marry my brothers to their mothers-in-law! ”
"Ah, sell it------ except for our New Oriental Company can find it, where can you find so many laborers?"
Gao Xiaoer looked at the north and said leisurely: "Do you know------ the villagers there are too bitter, not counting the exploitation of fishing tyrants, nor the government's tax increases, just the lake fish on the lake are not worth much, the grain fields by the lake are flooded every year, and if you don't owe money, you will be full at most, and you won't be able to lose a penny!"
In the past, I didn't have the ability to protect my neighbors, but now that I have money, I want the whole village to come over------ so I won't be angry with birds in the Great Song Dynasty!
I'm waiting for myself to dig mountain gold, which can be regarded as practice, after all, it is much easier to mine than cave gold mines. ”
Hehe, what a righteous man!
The manager of the New Oriental Company was silent for a while, he had invited the famous master Kanyu to survey the land in advance, and the master thought that the golden veins there would be very long, but he had to borrow the engineering explosives of the island master, if it was mined by manpower, it would cost a lot.
"Relocating a village------ that costs a lot, I value you as a man with affection and righteousness, okay, agree to your conditions, tomorrow I will sign a transfer contract in my company, and after submitting it to Governor Wu for the record, I will pay you in two installments."
Gao Xiaoer hesitated for a moment and said, "------ I don't know if you can pay me some money first------
The manager of New Oriental Company was stunned for a moment, he saw that Gao Xiaoer's clothes were in tatters, and his brothers in the distance were also like this, and immediately understood that these people were exhausted.
"Hehe, I understand!"
He took out his small whale skin wallet, took out eight hundred-yuan bills from it, and handed them to Gao Xiaoer.
"Is it enough? If it's not enough, I'll send someone back to get it. ”
"That's enough! ------ these bills can be deducted at that time! ”
Eight hundred dollars! He never had a ------ in his life
"Don't care, no one is out at an inconvenient time!"
In fact, the manager of New Oriental Company regretted it in his heart, and if he repaid the price of 1780,000 yuan, he could also make a deal.
Gao Xiaoer led the brothers to the bathing center in Best City first.
They really didn't expect that they hadn't come back for half a year, and this place had changed again.
Those two-story wooden buildings seem to be blown out of air, and there are dozens of trips in half a year, and this is already a county seat!
The main roads of Best City have been paved with green bricks, and only some corner paths are dirt roads.
Both sides of the main road are also kerosene street lights, and the spacing is very small.
There are more shops, but the prices are much cheaper than before, and there is even a so-called bathing center.
It's been a long time since I've taken a hot shower!
Gao Xiaoer and his brothers took a bath, and then asked the guy to go out and buy a full set of new clothes from the inside out------ his two brothers, Gao Xiaowu and Gao Xiaoliu wanted the most, and they also bought high leather boots with iron palms.
But Gao Xiaoer and Huang De still bought new canvas rubber-soled shoes------ they think that there is no better shoe in the world than this kind of shoes to pan for gold.
They also called a barber to cut their hair, trim their faces, and cut their nails on their hands and feet.
Then a few people reappeared on the streets of Best City with a new look.
Gao Xiaowu and Gao Xiaoliu wore tall leather boots with iron palms and walked "click" and "click" soundly, making the appearance of begging the members of the army to patrol, thinking that they were very powerful.
They went to the best restaurant, called the best room, the best food and drinks.
Gao Xiaowu said: "Big brother, I'll stay in the hotel here tonight!" ”
Gao Xiaoer said: "Okay, you can live for a few days, and when the money is in hand, I will buy a large piece of residential land first, let people also build a two-story wooden building, build more, and when the villagers come, there is a place to rest." ”
Gao Xiaoliu said: "It's better to find a few little ladies at night------"
After saying this, no one paid any attention to him.
Gao Xiaoer said to Huang De: "Tomorrow, I will ask you to help buy pastures and farms, and pick a good feng shui." ”
Huang De sighed and said, "I heard that the nearest pastures and farms are going to be a hundred and ten miles away------
Gao Xiaoer smiled and said, "What's the matter? At that time, it will be necessary to build houses around pastures and farms, and arrange for people to live and take care of them. ”
Huang De shook his head and said, "Will it be too far from the crowd?!" ”
Gao Xiaoer patted him on the shoulder and said loudly: "Where is the brother, where is the home, this is only a hundred and ten miles, ride the mount, and we will meet in a meal!" ”
Gao Xiaoliu said hatefully: "That Governor Wu sold the land too cheaply, one penny per mu!" Otherwise, I'll be able to buy something closer!! ”
There are also people who think that the land is cheap------ but the people do not pay attention to him.
Gao Xiaoer said: "After everything is almost settled, I will personally go back to my hometown to recruit the villagers, and you must be ready to entertain." ”
The crowd said yes.
Huang De secretly praised that Gao Dalang is really a benevolent and righteous person, and he will be with him in this life.
After a full meal, everyone went to what is said to be the best hotel now------ but in fact it is only a three-story wooden building, one room for two people, and there is too much difference from the hotel on Liuqiu Island.
But it's much better than living in a tent in the wilderness, and you're no longer afraid of the howling night wind.
Several people snored in the room and slept until the next day.
Their stories spread like the wind in Best City, I don't know how many people are blushing and how many people are moved.
The Governor of Gnawing Dog was pleased to file their transfer contract and comfortably collected the first large-scale tax since the founding of the city.
Of course, this is nowhere near as good as the previous investment.
In his diary, the Governor of Gnawing Dog wrote:
"The passenger ship from Ruqiu Island to here has shortened the journey time to 30 days, and it is also guaranteed to run once a day, and the occupancy rate has reached 80%.
From here to Liuqiu Island, there is a flight every three days, and the occupancy rate is only 60%.
I see a bright future ------"
