More than 2,000 taels of untransported gold and more than 200,000 catties of unprocessed ore were seized in several mining areas. For the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the first priority is to restore the mining work to the fullest
The Linglong mine was surrounded by soldiers, and some officials and missionaries from the Department of Industry and Commerce were explaining the salary grades to the miners everywhere, and the miners were all looking for it.
This time, Liu Minyou planned to set up a separate mine, but it was not directly under the Department of Industry and Commerce, and it was operated like a cigarette factory. After investigating the miners' income, he set a new salary, and all the miners were retained except for the original gentry's clan and close neighbors. The missionaries were very sophisticated, and quickly won over a group of miners, gave them some benefits, and then used them to manage the other miners. With these examples, the other miners were honest, and when they heard that their income had doubled, no one paid attention to Zheng Hegui and others.
Liu Minyou and Xu Yuanhua took a few bodyguards to a washing point by the river, and they were followed by a few workshop technicians who had just been transferred from Dengzhou, and the director of the mine was Huang Anshou, who used to be the shopkeeper of the dumping shop, and after arriving in Wendeng, he has been making fake copper coins in the copper coin workshop. also has good management skills, and the fake money factory has never had a strict problem. It makes Liu Min feel at ease
Huang Anshou is still the same as before, because he is in a high temperature environment every day. His eyebrows and hair were all scorched, and he followed Liu Minyou to the place where the mine was washed, where there were many ores piled up, and there were countless gravels on the ground.
"My lord, please see, after the mine is dug out, the miners will first move it here, and the powerful ones will smash it with a hammer, turn it into small pieces of two or three inches, and then use a stone mill or grinder to press it into stone powder." Huang Anshou pointed to the river in front of him. "Then the gold grains are washed out with a stream of wood or a dustpan, and finally the gold grains are smelted into blocks. Roughly these steps, the villain is customizing the process according to the style of the copper coin workshop. â
Liu Minyou walked around the tools and asked the technicians in several workshops around him, "Which ones can be used for machinery?" â
A few people discussed a little, and a young technician came out and replied: "My lord, you can use a slide to send ore from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, which can save a lot of manpower, but this method can only be tried first, after all, the stones are too heavy." Slides are highly vulnerable. Water hammer can be used for crushing stone, water mills can be used for large grinding, and rolling mills for Wenden can also be used. The final flushing can be repaired with a special diversion channel, and the washing is in the waterway. A multi-layered dustpan is placed at the end of the waterway to prevent the fine gold particles from being washed away by the river. â
Liu Min knew the young man, who came out of the science and technology class. couldn't help nodding and praised: "Junior Brother Guan thinks very carefully, and a few of you are here to teach them to make these things." Train more carpenters and people who can repair machinery. In addition, the safety of the mine should also be improved, and the place where the wooden pile should be used should not save effort. You have to think more about these miners, they all have families, and the more secure the pits, the fewer people will die. â
Those technicians all bowed down to be taught, Xu Yuanhua quietly leaned over and whispered: "My lord, if all water conservancy machinery is used, there will be fewer people who used to move mines and smash rocks here, and these people have lost their jobs, and I am afraid that they will make trouble." â
Huang Anshou next to him also heard it, and he said to Xu Yuanhua: "There are soldiers here, why not be afraid of making trouble." â
Liu Minyou hurriedly said: "An Shou can't think like this, extra people, ask them, if they are willing to go to Tunpu, they will go to Tunpu, if they are unwilling, let them open more potholes, so that they can also increase production." â
Huang Anshou responded lightly, Liu Minyou pointed to the direction of Wang'er Mountain, "There are more than ten mining areas in Zhaoyuan, all of which are under your control, and the miners can't all use the original, recruit another batch from Dengzhou and Zhaoyuan, and appoint some more Dengzhou people as foremen." â
"The villain understands."
Xu Yuanhua secretly glanced at Liu Minyou, did Liu Min have so many twists and turns in the past, and now he has to think about it everywhere.
Liu Minyou finally said to Mo Huaiwen: "That batch of prisoners, this time the table is good, you can take part of it and settle it in the tunpu near Laizhou Mansion, and if there is no bad deeds after a year, you can be recruited into the reserves; In addition, the remaining part of the table is good, helping to manage the group of prisoners, and paying them some monthly salary. The overall situation here has been decided, tomorrow I will go to Pingdu to inspect Tunpu, here I will ask you, Director Huang, the output at the end of the year will exceed 20,000 taels, if it does not arrive, the mine and the Department of Industry and Commerce will deduct the bonus. â
After Liu Minyou finished speaking, he left here, called the stupid monk and walked to the miners' gathering place together, squatting down from time to time to talk to the miners. Xu Yuanhua looked at his back and muttered, "Lord Liu also understands scheming." ââŚâŚ
Second, Liu Min hurried early in the morning, rushed through Ye County to Pingdu Prefecture, as soon as he entered the territory of Pingdu, the Tunpu of Dengzhou Town could be seen everywhere on the side of the official road, countless tun households worked on the land, and a large number of tun households were organized to collectively dig dredging canals. In some places, tall windmills and waterwheels have been separated, and a vibrant scene is not comparable to the desolation and drought along the road of Zhiye County.
Pingdu suffered heavy losses in last year's rebellion, and many places were vacated in the city, but Mo Huaiwen still set up his office in a tunpu outside the east gate in a low-key manner.
Liu Min did not notify Mo Huaiwen to greet him, but went directly to Mo Huaiwen's Tunpu, at this time the sky was already dark, Mo Huaiwen entertained him for a simple dinner, only two meat and two vegetables, a single reception did not exceed two dollars of silver, which was also requested by Liu Min.
Second, Mo Huaiwen briefly reported to Liu Minyou the situation in Pingdu, which currently covers an area of 300,000 mu, with a total of 60 tunbao and a population of 110,000, and the land problem that has plagued Wendeng for many years has been temporarily solved, but relying on this resource, there is still a long way to go to realize Chen Xin's great dream.
Liu Minyou was very satisfied with Mo Huaiwen's work, and saw a lot of information on Mo Huaiwen's desk. I took a copy and read it, and it turned out to be land statistics from all over Shandong. Liu Minyou couldn't help laughing and said, "How can I have this thing." Where did the statistics come from? â
Mo Huaiwen said respectfully: "It was obtained from the officials of Pingdu, and one of them got it from the Shandong Political Division." However, it has been a long time, perhaps the number of acres in the Wanli period. â
Liu Min has flipped it, there is a total number of cultivated land in Shandong, a total of 57 million mu of cultivated land in Shandong, this number includes Denglai, that is to say, even if Dengzhou Town gets all 500,000 yuan, it is only one percent of Shandong's cultivated land.
Liu Minyou put down the booklet. He chose one at random in Pingdu Tunbao, which was his way to avoid his subordinates from coping, and before the inspection, he was not sure about the specific places and matters, and only made a temporary decision when he arrived,""
Mo Huaiwen followed him for a long time, and he was very clear about Liu Minyou's style, so he simply agreed, and he couldn't help but smile when he looked at Natunbao: "It's a coincidence that Tunpu is here, and there is a literary team to act today." I heard that it was the first time in Pingdu, and the people from the Mission Bureau originally asked me to watch it together, but it happened that Mr. Liu also chose to be there. â
Liu Minyou has recently forgotten about this art team, and after listening to it, he asked with some surprise: "What kind of play do they play?" â
"It's like a mandarin duck in troubled times. Right. ââŚâŚ
Next to the current water flowing out of Daze Mountain, stands Pingdu No. 3 Tunbao, which is close to Daze Mountain. There are still some bandits in the mountains, so although there are soldiers stationed nearby. However, Tunpu still built a special outer wall.
Tunpu is still a cross street, although most of them are still grass huts. But the brick temples have been built, the city god, Guanyin, Sanguan and so on, and the center of the cross street is Dengzhou Tunpu, which is the most different from other places, and there is a vast open space. This vacant land is not used for fitness, and if these working people hear that someone wants to spend money on exercise, they will definitely think that they are sick. There is a stage in this small square, and it is here that the head of Pingri Tun gathers everyone to give lectures. The small square of Imari is full of people, and all kinds of headscarves are dangling, and they are watching the performance on the stage from the gap in the front row.
"Folks, please don't speak! Please remember the discipline you had when you built the road, otherwise no one would have heard what was said......"
The hostess's voice came from the front of the curtain, almost drowned out by the cacophony of noise. Tang Wei, a fat literary soldier, was sitting backstage trembling, he had already performed twice, once at the Laiyang training base and once in Laiyang's Tunpu.
He vividly remembered the scene of being scolded by the audience, and it was better to perform for the recruits, and the instructor shouted that the soldiers were quiet, and the tunhu in Laiyang Tunbao were not so disciplined, and he trembled when he thought of the surging scene in the audience.
Listening to the commotion of the tunhu outside, Tang Wei wished that they would make a lot of trouble, and it was best to cancel the performance, and while he was praying, he only heard a loud shout on the stage outside, "You dogs bark again, and Lao Tzu will deduct your performance points." The host has been saying for a long time, and you don't have long ears. â
Then another voice appeared on the stage, "If you make any more trouble, you will be dragged to the school field to run ten laps, and those who really love to eat sticks will make trouble again." â
The field immediately quieted down, Tang Wei suddenly despaired, and the captain of the literary team said with a smile: "The tun chief and the instructor came forward, it is more effective than us." â
"It's better if it doesn't work." Tang Wei whispered, the captain didn't have time to pay attention to him, and hurriedly greeted the actor, "Hurry up, take advantage of the silence to play." The first scene, begins. â
A little boy came to the stage barefoot from the side, he carried a lantern in his hand, and sang loudly in a children's voice, "Fireflies, mother, master, rub a hemp rope to tie it, and the wind mother-in-law grass is on the ground, and he got up with a shout." â
The crisp children's voice is very attractive, the boy is cute, and the audience suddenly burst into cheers, and some people are applauding. Tang Wei didn't listen at all in the background, he kept squinting his eyes and secretly aimed at Guan Xiaomei, who was about to come to the stage, and the more he watched, the more he felt beautiful. Guan Xiaomei was also a little nervous when she looked at it, after all, there were many more people than Laiyang this time.
Tang Wei licked his fat lips, stood up and prepared to go next to Guan Xiaomei, but a tall figure flashed in front of him, but it was the actor Xu Pingjie, who only heard him whisper to Guan Xiaomei: "Pei Pei, don't panic, we were good two times before, and this time is the same." â
Guan Xiaomei hummed in a low voice, and when she looked up at Xu Pingjie, her eyes flashed.
Tang Wei was stunned suddenly, this Xu Pingjie is Xu Yuanhua's cousin, it is said that the family is doing business with Xu Yuanhua's funding, and the family must be very rich in the future, Xu Pingjie is tall and handsome. Tang Wei is so bad that he can't be tricked. And now the fool can see that the two are eyebrow-raising. Each other is interesting, Tang Wei only understood later. At the time of the recruitment, Guan Xiaomei looked at herself and smiled, which was treating herself as a joke.
"Phew, such a big man doesn't know how to fight, what kind of literary team is coming here, he is clearly afraid of death." Tang Wei scolded in his heart.
The little boy on the stage only had one singing voice, singing an adapted Wudi children's song, and after singing, he shouted, "It's dark, my mother called home Luo." "I stepped down from the other side.
The captain commanded: "Guan Xiao...... Kwan Pei Pei plays. The people in the back memorize the order themselves. â
Guan Xiaomei walked out gently, singing as she walked: "When the moon is about to be on the moon, Ran Yu is on the moon and the mountain is on the top of the mountain, and the moon is early, and the moon is late. â
Tang Wei hurriedly took a few steps forward, preparing to take the opportunity to look, but suddenly his collar tightened, and he was pulled back a few steps, and almost fell to the ground.
"Which dog ......" Tang Wei was furious. Before he could scold, he saw Xu Pingjie staring at him, and hurriedly swallowed the back half of it. I only heard Xu Pingjie say: "Do you understand the rules, you are still on stage early, and it will be you after the marriage scene." Don't get in the way of anyone else here. Remember no, Drama Tartar? â
"What do you call me?!" Tang Wei stood up suddenly.
Xu Pingjie looked left and right and saw that the captain was busy adjusting his clothes. Leaned over and looked down at Tang Wei, "I called you a Tartar!" What are you going to do? â
The chubby Tang Wei was pressed by the tall and mighty Xu Pingjiewei. Without the slightest fear, his teeth clenched. The same round eyes, the two looked at each other like fighting cocks, Xu Pingjie slowly pasted over, Tang Wei suddenly weakened, bowed his head and said, "I just didn't hear what you called me, so I asked again." â
"Play Tartar, play Tartar, play Tartar!" Xu Pingjie shouted three times in a row, "Do you hear it clearly?" â
"Listen, hear clearly, but ...... You forgot to play. Tang Wei smiled slyly.
"Ahh Xu Pingjie shouted, turned his head and saw Guan Peipei standing on the stage, already in a hurry, it turned out that her lyrics had been sung, and the captain was not there.
"Xu Pingjie, what are you doing?" The captain hurried over and was furious.
Xu Pingjie hurriedly climbed onto the stage and made a relationship with Guan Xiaomei in the moon. Tang Wei laughed proudly, "Fight with me." â
The enemy left, Tang Wei came to the front of the stage and looked at Guan Xiaomei's back in a daze.
In this way, I have been seeing the two getting married, and the leader of this scene asked for it to be lively, so even the chores and cooks in the team came on the stage, playing relatives and friends, and there were only three people left who played Tartars, led by Tang Wei.
"Fatty, the brazier is out, let's get ready." A person named Xie Fei next to him reminded.
Tang Wei's whole body trembled, he touched the braid at the back of his head with a sad face, picked up the wooden knife wrapped in silver foil, and said dejectedly: "Let's go." â
The three of them rushed to the stage together, and Tang Wei shouted, "What a beautiful Nikan woman, I want Huang Taiji!" Hahaha! â
There was a chorus of scolding from the audience, "Dog Tartar, Dog Tartar." ââŚâŚ
Soon it was time for the male pig's foot Yang Gang came to save Tang Xiaoxiao, Tang Wei had been scolded and sweated all over, Guan Peipei was sitting in front of him, but he had the heart to watch, looking at the surging arms in the audience, Tang Wei's mouth opened a few times but he didn't make a sound, he knew that the next sentence would definitely anger those who were too strong below.
The captain was anxious under the stage and urged: "Tell the joke quickly, don't say that Lao Tzu will deduct your monthly money and punish you for emptying the toilet for everyone." â
It's easy to say that you can deduct the monthly money, but it's too depressing to pour the toilet. Tang Wei's eyes closed, "Nikan women are beautiful, I heard that the women of Pingdu Prefecture are more beautiful, Lao Tzu will soon conquer Shandong, hit Pingdu, rob all the money and women there, the land is collected for my Eight Banners, and the women are also used for the Eight Banners, and those remaining Nikan men have been slaves for me for generations, and even my descendants are slaves." â
After Tang Wei finished speaking, the audience suddenly became quiet, Tang Wei knew that it was peace before the storm, so he hid behind Guan Peipei cleanly, in case there was a hidden weapon.
Guan Peipei quickly grabbed a pair of scissors and committed suicide, the audience was still quiet, and it seemed that she hadn't reacted from sadness, Tang Wei was so nervous that she was sweating all over, but fortunately, Yang Gang played by Xu Pingjie appeared in time, he cried and threw himself to Guan Xiaomei's side, still touching Guan Xiaomei's hair, and scolded Tang Wei: "Drama Tartar, drama ...... Dog tartars"
Tang Wei's eyes were round, he didn't touch his hair at all during filming, how could he remember the lines, and shouted, "Xu Pingjie's dog died!! â
The big knife swung over with a snort, and smashed on Xu Pingjie's head with a snap, the wooden blades were broken, and Xu Pingjie was stunned for a moment and fell.
Tang Wei smiled proudly, and the audience suddenly erupted into a hysterical roar, "Kill the Tartars!" â
Countless people came onto the stage at the same time, and Tang Wei hurriedly threw down the wooden knife and fled backstage. (To be continued.) )
