Chapter Seventy-Three: The Bingham Canyon Gold and Copper Mine
The recruitment speed of the white slave was even faster than Jiang Yin imagined.
In the first week there were two large ships of serfs from the docks of Constantinople, a total of 800 white slaves, and in the second week the number swelled to 2,400, and in the third week more than 4,000.
And the number of these white slaves is still increasing.
In just one month, Jiang Yin shipped nearly 10,000 white serfs to Utah in North America.
Now North America is still an uncivilized land, and the Indians hunt and live unscrupulously in this land, not knowing that the masters of this land have changed....
....
Bingham Canyon, Utah, North America.
The vertical and horizontal ravines between the sky and the earth, like the mountains chopped by knives and axes, are endless, full of rocks and gravel, the sunny part of the mountains is full of trees and vegetation, and the vast canyons are like otherworldly landscapes, if you are not immersed in the scene, it is hard to believe that there is such a magnificent place in this world.
Jiang Yin stood on the edge of a cliff in a canyon, looking down at the tents in the large human settlement in the canyon, secretly thinking about the follow-up plan in his heart.
Twelve thousand one hundred white slaves, which was the first number of miners.
And the ore vein that they are about to mine for Jiang Yin is the Bingham Canyon gold and copper mine in this canyon.
Bingham Canyon Gold and Copper Mine, located in Bingham Canyon, Utah, USA, is the largest and deepest open-pit mining site on the earth, as of the time of abandonment, the depth has reached 1200 meters, the width of 4000 meters, covering an area of 1900 acres, where the main production of gold, silver, copper, molybdenum ore, is one of the world's most minerals minerals.
The mine began production in 1906, and by 2004 its gold and copper mines had produced more than 17 million tonnes of copper, 23 million ounces of gold, 190 million ounces of silver and 850 million ounces of molybdenum, with $1.8 billion worth of metals from the mine in 2006.
When the Americans first exploited this vein, they did not do anything to kill chickens and eggs, but adopted long-term planning and reasonable development methods very forward-looking, so that this super-large mineral deposit can be developed for nearly 100 years.
But for Jiang Yin, this vein does not need to be developed at all, this is now North America in the tenth century, the Indians are still dancing in the forest with their bare butts, and firearms are a term that has never appeared in the West, he does not have to plan for the future, and the development of this mineral deposit can be as fast as possible.
So he transferred ten large excavators, ten bulldozers, and a geological team to develop a mining plan from Hyundai.
Together with more than 12,000 white slaves, it was enough to mine this mining area.
When the whites were first brought here, they were all at a loss, they were by boat, but as soon as it was dark, they all came to this place whose names were unknown, and no one explained to them where they had been.
It wasn't until the canteen began to provide them with food that they woke up from their confusion, as low-level serfs, these people usually ate the last meal in the manor, and some of them barely had a full meal, and now there is a canteen to provide them with food, and their gratitude is naturally overflowing.
Jiang Yin had a headache about how to manage these serfs at this time, these white people spoke Latin, and there were relatively few modern scholars, and it was very difficult to recruit modern people to manage them, but if they couldn't find people who understood their language to manage, they were afraid of any trouble, so Jiang Yin finally adopted the same system as the Kimberley diamond mine - the mining system of slaves and slaves.
Among the 12,000 serfs, he selected 2,000 of the stronger and stronger ones as the supervision troops, distributed supervision clothes to them, and then uniformly dressed the 10,000 people in miners' uniforms, and then taught them the basic essentials of mining, and finally the overseers began to supervise the work of the miners.
This kind of system has an effect no matter what era it is, originally they were all serfs, and everyone's status was about the same, but since the two thousand selected serfs became miners, they turned over into serfs and sang, and suddenly they felt as if they had become the masters of these people, and the people wearing overseer uniforms obviously began to look down on those who wore miners' uniforms, and at the beginning, some serfs were resentful of Jiang Yin.
But with the opposition between the overseers and the working class, their contradictions were all transferred to the classes on both sides at once.
This contradiction reached its peak after Jiang Yin distributed overseer batons and leather whips, and the construction workers began to physically punish those miners who did not obey and did not work hard.
When Jiang Yin faced this kind of thing, he did not say anything against it, but listed a Latin "Regulations on the Management of Supervisors' Behavior", which clarified the circumstances under which the supervisor could use force, the procedure for the use of force, and the personal injuries caused.
In this way, the system of mining areas, which has the meaning of division and rule of the three divisions, suddenly became normal, the supervisors no longer dared to arbitrarily punish the laborers, and the laborers did not dare not do their work, although the legislative department had legal power but no substantive rights, and a benign three-division government was initially established.
Jiang Yin was very satisfied with the mining system he created, and he refined the divisions of various departments, such as the supervision department, he divided the supervision department into twenty teams, each team has a captain to manage a hundred people, and he is the chief captain of the supervision department.
The Ministry of Labor is also divided into 20 groups of 500 people, divided into 20 areas for mining, and the top five groups of people in each month will be rewarded and rewarded.
Finally, there is the Ministry of Justice, Jiang Yin has set up a chief justice with decision-making power, and there is a constitutional team of eleven people, all of whom are modern people who are proficient in Latin, and their duty is to improve the laws and regulations and stabilize the system in the mining area.
Jiang Yin has always been vigorous and resolute in doing things, after determining the mining area system, and initially built a residential area, a medical area, and a catering area, and after all those board houses were built, he directly announced the official launch of the large-scale mining plan of the Bingham Canyon gold and copper mine.
The huge mechanical shovel of the excavator was waved, and as an open-pit mining deposit, a lot of gold, silver and copper nuggets were excavated with each shovel, and the miners were also waving their shovels to mine near the excavator.
The overseers were happy to be at this time, and they stood near the mine with their whips, watching the miners sweat and work, and their hearts were both happy and full of gratitude.....
