In the 70s of the 19th century, Cecil Rhodes, an Englishman, set up a tent on a diamond-rich hill in South Africa and bought nearby farmland from local farmers, the De Beers brothers, for £6,000.

Little did he know that this humble decision would make him a sensational tycoon, and he could not have imagined that in the next 100 years, this place would become the deepest diamond open-pit ever excavated by hand, the legendary largest hand-dug pit, 1,097 meters deep, and produced more than 15 million carats of diamonds before it was closed in 1914.

This mining area is named after the British colonial secretary at the time, "Kimberley", a world-class group of artificially mined diamonds: the Kimberley diamond mine in South Africa

A thousand years ago, South Africa began to be a savannah that had not been developed by modern civilization, and even if you stepped on this land in a down-to-earth manner, it felt so unreal.

At the beginning of September, not long after the rainy season in South Africa, the savannah climate of Africa has gradually become arid for the whole continent, and the animals are looking for water, and the original lush vegetation has gradually dried up due to lack of water.

On a barren grassland, boxes and boxes of supplies were piled up at the moment, most of them were shovels, pickaxes, tents, etc.

Di Yan, who was sitting on top of a few boxes of compressed biscuits, spit out the half-smoked cigarette on the ground, then wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead with his foot, and said to a busy figure in the distance: "Lao Lin, how are you cleaning up." ”

Lin Yue in the distance was sitting on a lawn mower at this time, the rumbling lawn mower was quickly clearing the wild grass that was not leg-high, and at this moment, a large open space had been cleared out of the place where the boxes were stacked.

After clearing the last weed, a square base of more than 100 meters will be completely completed, without the shelter of weeds, the field of vision appears very open, any animal and wild man can be found at the first time.

After coming back from the lawn mower, Lin Yue got out of the car and sat on the top of the box, "It's hot Lao Tzu, this fucking Africa is really hot." ”

"Hey, hey." Di Yan chuckled, then raised a bottle of water in his hand and threw it over, "Here, drink saliva to quench your thirst." ”

Lin Yue took the water, didn't say much, opened the bottle cap and poured it up, and as soon as he raised his head, a behemoth appeared out of thin air in an open space next to him.

A two-car long truck appeared in the open space in front of him, silent, but it gave people a strong visual shock. This scene also startled the two of them, but when they saw the people in the car clearly, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

"I said Jiang Shao, your appearance so unexpectedly is very scary! If you don't calculate well, if you don't pay attention, you will not be able to crush us to death at once. ”

Jiang Yin opened the door of the big truck, jumped down from the driver's seat, and said with a smile: "No, every time I appear, I can see the situation around the moving place, and the water in your hand is what Brother Di gave you just now, isn't it?" ”

Lin Yue was stunned for a moment before he gave a thumbs up and said, "Cow!" I'm convinced! ”

Jiang Yin pursed his lips disapprovingly and said, "Don't be stunned, move things down quickly." ”

Di Yan was more pragmatic, and before Jiang Yin could finish speaking, he had already walked to the back of the truck and lifted the windshield curtain behind the truck.

"Jiang Shao, what are these things? It looks pretty heavy. ”

"Four medium-sized water storage tanks, filled with water, enough for a thousand people to drink for a week, and some plastic walls of board houses, which can be built with bolts to build some temporary flat houses, I plan to send a few transformed containers over in a few days to make container mobile houses, and four large diesel generators, I plan to install lights in this vicinity, in this grassland, it is not possible to keep vigil with fire at night."

After listening to Jiang Yin's words, Lin Yue nodded: "Jiang Shao is thoughtful. ”

"This is our first base in the future, now that we have bought these things, plus the construction of the headquarters building, the company has not much money to turnover, since there is no money, we must hurry up and make money, and our plan to sell diamonds should be put on the agenda as soon as possible!"

After three days in the restaurant, the main family finally gathered everyone today, and more than 1,000 servants including Wang Xiaowu were taken to a remote and uninhabited mountain col on the outskirts of the city.

The master's family selected one hundred and twenty strong and healthy ones from among those good servants, and then appointed these people as overseers, who could manage any disobedient slaves.

The master said that as an overseer, as long as he does not make mistakes, not only will he have enough food and food, but he will also be given a regular amount of money a month, which is a great good deed for every person who is selected as an overseer, and he should be grateful to Dade.

What happened next was a bit unbelievable, and the Lord ordered the overseers to blindfold the remaining 900 or so people, and let them finally blindfold themselves.

Then Wang Xiaowu felt that his body was light, and he stepped on the ground again, and he suddenly felt that the air seemed to become hotter.

When Jiang Yin took off the cloth tied around his eyes, Wang Xiaowu's eyes widened and he looked incredulous.

The mountain col in front of him just now disappeared, replaced by an empty grassland, and even the road back to Bianjing City could not be seen, and there was a primitive atmosphere all around, but behind him, there were many things scattered that he had never seen.

"Where is this?"

This is the same question asked by all the people whose blindfolds have been removed, and Jiang Yin will tell them in a calm tone: "This is your new home." ”

Jiang Yin first asked these overseers to adapt to this place, they could walk around, but they didn't go far.

Wang Xiaowu cautiously explored this clearing, which was not very large, except for the place where more than 900 servants stood, and even the surrounding area would be a little crowded.

Some people around saw the herd, and some people saw the baboons hanging from the dead trees in the distance, and they all let out incredible amazements.

After the overseers gradually got used to it, Jiang Yin distributed new supplies to them.

Some bizarre costumes.

"These are the clothes of your overseer, hurry up and change them."

The master's words have always been obeyed, more than 50 overseers began to change clothes, some overseers are still a little shy, but seeing that the people around them have taken off their clothes, they are embarrassed not to take them off, but the appearance of the clothes issued is too weird, so that many overseers do not know how to wear them.

"Brother Lin, you show them how to get dressed."

"Yes! You're all looking at me, and I'm here to teach you how to dress! This is a top, this is a pants, the top is worn like this, and then buttoned up, and the pants are just put on, understand? ”

With Lin Yue's demonstration, the supervisors quickly moved, and soon, they got dressed, although the size of the model was not suitable for a few people, but because most of the people selected by Jiang Yin were about one meter seven, and there were no fat people, they were generally suitable.

People rely on clothes and horses and saddles, and put on a skin, which gives people a very special feeling, and put on the clothes of the overseers, these ancient people seem to have crossed at once, and from the appearance, they are almost no different from modern people

Jiang Yin looked at these hundred or so overseers with satisfaction, they would become the first batch of builders and managers of his ancient empire.

"Alright, now you overseers, fifty people at a time, are untying and removing the blindfolds from the slaves in batches!"
