Chapter 807 Nanzhou Ji: Sacred Heart and Tianwei

Master Zhong's mournful shouts attracted rescue, but when everyone rushed into the mine, the heart-rending screams had completely changed their tone, and they pulled the fat man out of the mound, but this guy pointed to the rock wall of the mine and laughed like a convulsion.

The soft soil layer peeled off, revealing the rock veins of different colors, in the dim light of the horse lamp, the rock veins were glowing with scattered broken light, and with a groan, he sat on the ground with his legs weak, and Fang Wu, who came in, swallowed his saliva, and asked with difficulty and uncertainty: "Is this ...... Gold mine? ”

Zhong Shangwei's laughter has become sharp and thin: "That's right, placer gold veins!" It's gold, gold! ”

Every person who expands overseas has a copy of the "Mineral Chronicles" compiled by Shaozhou Baicheng University, and all kinds of minerals are described in detail, and the first wish of every overseas prospecting head is to find gold and silver veins.

This is a placer gold mine, who would have thought that under the skin of a layer of copper ore, such wealth would be hidden.

When Lu Hanshan said hello to Zhong Shang, Master Zhong didn't have any focus in his eyes, so he smirked, and saliva hung on the corner of his mouth.

"According to the Gold Control Order issued in March, this gold mine is a national ......"

Lu Hanshan said this, and Master Zhong suddenly woke up, his eyes were round, and his fierce light was revealed: "What!?" Why!? ”

Lan Dingyuan felt both disdainful and ridiculous, and added: "It's not to rob your Coral State company's property, the law just stipulates that the gold produced by the gold mine must be purchased by the Anglo-Chinese Bank, rest assured, it is all calculated at the market price." ”

Fang Wu also said: "Yes, I heard that the country is changing the banknote, and the temples are not allowed to use gold, and all newly produced gold must be entered into the government, and it is ......."

Lan Dingyuan's face was changing, obviously he hadn't figured out whether this gold was his own Zhong Shang. Playfully said: "Moreover, the gold mine owner can still get the civil lord, and he is not a small lord, at least a doctor." ”

The Forty-Second Rank of the Anglo-Chinese Lord. Among them, there are three levels of title, waiting, and uncle, and there are four levels below, including qing, doctor, lang and shi, and the biggest difference with the official is that there is no substantial reward, but this is fame. Those with high reputation, whether they are engaged in business or devote themselves to hospital affairs, have great convenience. In addition, there are many benefits, such as the freedom to hear the decisions of the court and the civil courts at all levels. Even those engaged in some special industries can be given priority, which also makes the people rush to it.

At present, those who can win the civil lord are the heroes of the era who dare to be the first in the world, scholars, craftsmen, wealthy merchants, and even the leaders of exploration companies who have made new discoveries in geography are all objects of obtaining the civil lord. For example, Fan Sihai, who went to Dongzhou to colonize, was titled uncle, and even Lan Dingyuan himself also got the title of Guanglu doctor because of the colonial affairs of Nanyang and Nanzhou.

It turned out to be a good thing for both fame and fortune. Zhong Shangwei's uncertain face stabilized, turned full of peach, and bowed to Lu Hanshan, Lan Dingyuan and the others: "This is the blessing brought by the general and all the adults!" Great kindness. I'm on top ......"

The fat man talked about the next life again, so that Lu Hanshan and others avoided it.

First the arrival of the navy to restore order, and then the discovery of gold mines to boost people's hearts, the unbearable past has finally faded, and the whole of Coral State has re-examined its future.

Li Shun seemed to be overjoyed by the news, his spirit was much better, and his eyes lit up and said: "This placer gold vein is not small, let's do a big job!?" ”

Zhong Shangwei subconsciously nodded, recruited miners, and even bought slave labor. Gather a large number of people, and get up to the top of the business, and it's not a problem to make a million net worth a year. …,

can glance at the people whose eyes are already red, Zhong Shangzhi is a spirit, and the painful past that has just faded is dangling in his mind again, can gold be eaten? There can be reliable food. Can it make people feel peaceful?

He let out a long breath, but calmed down, "Although the gold is good, there is a time when it is exhausted, what should I do then?" ”

Everyone was stunned, which one is Master Zhong going to sing?

Zhong Shangwei became serious and angry: "Everyone thinks, Coral State depends on gold, I'm afraid you ......"

He looked at Xu Fu, "You farmers don't want to farm anymore, gold is not as good as copper and iron, and a vein can't be dug for a few years. ”

Master Zhong's eyes flashed with a deep and wise light: "We used to fight our own people, and we only looked at the benefits in front of us. If it's just to make money and then go back to retire, don't talk about you, I don't want this! I could have been living in Guangzhou, so ah...... We are going to build a century-old foundation in this coral state! ”

Not only did Li Shun nod, but Xu Fu also admired it in his heart, and secretly said this reason.

Master Zhong clenched his fists and said, "Let's take our time!" ”

He pointed to the miners and farmers, "You farmers can also come to mine, and you miners can also settle in Coral State and get a piece of land." If you don't have a daughter-in-law, what are you afraid of, since the company has a gold mine, how can it treat you badly? The people of our coral state will be much more arrogant than other places, and they are afraid that no woman will marry? ”

Master Zhong turned his eyes to the vast land, stretched out his arms, and said proudly: "Let's grow crops and raise livestock here, so that people can prosper, and we can do everything!" At that time, the gold mine will be exhausted, and our coral state will be able to stand firmly here! ”

Everyone was silent, and they were all convinced by the future described by Master Zhong.

The slapping sound sounded, but it was Lu Hanshan, Lan Dingyuan and others who applauded on the side, and everyone also enthusiastically agreed.

Li Shun frowned and said, "Old Zhong, is it really you?" ”

This is the bell he is familiar with? This is what the fat man Zhong can say? For a moment, Li Shunzhen thought that Zhong Shangwei was possessed by some demon and monster.

Zhong Shangwei patted his chest and said: "Lao Li, don't underestimate me, what haven't I experienced in my old Zhong in my life?" It's not like there's no growth, right? Let's set up a company, is it just for profit? Like you said, it's better to make a career. Let's run Coral State, just like Mr. Lan said, it is a great achievement to leave a name in the history books! ”

Li Shun sighed uncertainly, Zhong Shangwei smiled, and there was another layer of thought in his stomach, but he would never say anything.

"I kind of understand, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, how good is it to make a fortune in peace and stability? Besides, there are too many people. My master Zhong holds coal, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, cotton, linen and silk clothes, what kind of small business, maybe it can earn a long way than digging gold. Well. I also want to open a Fujian and Cantonese restaurant, open a green building, and earn back all the salaries I pay to the miners......"

Master Zhong looked forward to the future, smirked, and mixed with everyone's smiles, and couldn't tell where the smile came from.

"When the general arrived in Chongzhou, he also asked the Heavenly Temple to come here as soon as possible to build a temple."

Stayed for more than a month. The people of Coral Prefecture were calm, the work of the expedition team came to an end, Lu Hanshan was about to leave, and before leaving, Zhong Shangsheng sincerely asked for this matter.

This incident surprised Lu Hanshan again, Zhong Shangwei really changed his mind? There are gold mines in Coral State, and from the level of colonial companies, they are even more reluctant to have characters like the Temple of Heaven pointing fingers. …,

Zhong Shangwei said with palpitations: "The villain has regretted it a lot, if there was a heavenly temple in the first place." Why not just make a fuss like that? ”

This is true, if there is a heavenly temple, there will be a third party to mediate the conflict between the miners and the peasants. And Zhong Shangwei and Fang Wu will not be ruthless to go down the black road because of all the pressure.

Lu Hanshan nodded: "This matter will definitely be done for you, if you think so, I am also more at ease with Coral State." ”

Just about to say goodbye, Zhong Shangwei suddenly knelt down, Lu Han Shaanxin said that this fat man is going to sell the next life again, but he heard Zhong Shangwei say: "The villain's business, I hope the general will be merciful, Mo Dao will listen to the emperor......"

Hey? Master Zhong's thinking is really open-minded, how did he think of the emperor?

Zhong Shangfang bowed his head and said, "The Sacred Heart is the power of heaven, General!" Although the thunder, rain and dew are all imperial graces. But the villain can't stand God's grace, so let the villain guard this little reward in Coral State......"

said it beautifully, but Lu Hanshan understood that Master Zhong was afraid that his family would be remembered by the emperor and would settle the old accounts again. He said perfunctory on his lips, but he said in his heart. Your Majesty is keeping an eye on the whole of China, and even the whole world, how can you have the heart to deal with you, a dead fat man?

The battleship sailed north with the welcome of everyone in Coral State, until the sail shadow disappeared, and everyone was still reluctant.

Zhong Shangwei found Xu Fu and said with a dodgy gaze: "That...... Xu Yuan, should we open the township courtyard and discuss it later? ”

Xu Fu's eyes were also fixed on his shoes, and he said in a low voice: "Listen to the master...... Uh, okay, okay, Mr. Chung. ”

On the helm of the battleship, Coral State was long gone, and only a dazzling coral reef disk could be seen outside the sea channel, but a person was still staring at the direction of Coral State, and his eyes were as confused as a reef.

Lu Hanshan's voice sounded: "Fang Wu, have you figured it out?" ”

It was Fang Wu who was distracted, he turned around and saluted respectfully: "The little one has figured it out, the little one is the most evil person, and he can't stay in Coral State anymore, which hinders everyone's future." ”

Lu Hanshan said in a deep voice: "You have the ability and the will, if you use it on the people, it is the ability to do evil." That's why I brought you out. You yourself know that if we don't get there, Coral State will become a den of thieves, and you will be the head of the thieves in the Outer Land. ”

Fang Wu said resignedly: "But with the general's disposal, the small one has no complaints." ”

Before investigating the rebellion in Coral Prefecture, Lu Hanshan saw Fang Wu clearly. The situation in Coral State evolving into a situation where one side presses the other is all Fang Wu's strategy. If they didn't arrive, Fang Wu would be able to kill and kill them in Coral State. But whether it is intentions or actions, Fang Wu still has self-discrimination. After all, he was thinking about the whole group, for the future of everyone. Even if you want to kill Xu Fu, it is the concept of killing one person and saving a hundred people. Of course, if that knife is really cut, this idea will most likely become for me, killing everyone's heart of protection, and that's another matter.

Although Lu Hanshan let Zhong Shangwei and others go and promoted reconciliation between the two sides, Fang Wu could no longer stay in Coral State, he was still in Coral State, and everyone would have a heavy psychological shadow.

As for the crime, Fang Wu committed coercion, kidnapping, and attempted murder, and the background is quite complicated.

Seeing that Fang Wu had already realized, Lu Hanshan said: "Let me ask you, do you have the heart to win great achievements with your life?" ”

Fang Wu smiled bitterly: "If you don't have this heart, how can you be willing to travel all the way to this Nanzhou?" ”

Lu Hanshan nodded: "Western companies have been looking for talents, I think you are suitable, go to them." ”

..., Fang Wu stayed for a moment before he came back to his senses and was ecstatic. Before, he was just a small dart, asking for the lowest level of civil lords, but now with the recommendation of a big man like Lu Hanshan, he can make a career in the West.

It's just that he still has doubts. What kind of ability does the Western company look at, and why does Lu Hanshan feel that he is suitable?

Lu Hanshan smiled slightly: "The Western company is plotting against Tianzhu, so it needs you to be hard-hearted and bold. A strongman who doesn't treat people as human beings......"

Fang Wupin was stunned for a while, feeling that Lu Hanshan's smile was particularly hideous, but when he thought of the cause he mentioned, a raging flame also rose in his heart.

The battleship went north, and in the officer's cabin, Lu Hanshan and Lan Dingyuan were confronting each other. Although the two are very different in age, field and experience. But after a few months of overseas coexistence, they have also talked happily, and they can talk about each other's private opinions.

Lu Hanshan said: "As far as my own job is concerned, of course, I am happy to see Chinese people expand their business overseas, and the east of the world is my Anglo-Chinese land." But in all fairness, I think that domestic affairs are more important, the whole country is straightened out, all industries are prosperous, and they can accommodate hundreds of millions of people. Why let the Chinese people drift overseas and take root and give birth to so many incidents? ”

He sighed: "Lizhou and Langzhou are in chaos, it's not because we went by chance." The coral state is even more unthinkable, which is their inconsistency. When the population of the overseas territories multiplies and the industries prosper, I don't know what will happen. At such a distance, it is difficult for the imperial court to govern, and the national law is indifferent and difficult to control. ”

Lan Dingyuan drank a cup and said: "Yes, Funan and Nanyang Company have been in constant conflict. There are less than 300,000 people in Funan, and there are 700,000 or 800,000 people in Luzon, so I don't know what is lurking, but what about ......"

He listed another number, which made Lu Hanshan startled: "Before leaving, I learned a message from the household department. Last year, there were results in the household inventory, do you know how many people there are in my Anglo-Chinese country right now? 130 million ......"

Seeing that Lu Hanshan was stunned, Lan Dingyuan repeated again: "That's right, 130 million, of which 45 million are in the old land of Yinghua, Guangzhou, and Fujian, and 57 million in the three provinces south of the Yangtze River......

"Don't be surprised, the worse numbers are yet to come. In the past few years, the population inventory has been carried out by the Population Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Shentong Bureau, and the trend of population reproduction has been grasped in more detail. In the fourteenth year of the Holy Dao, the population has increased by as much as 10% and 2! That's three percentage points longer than thirteen years. According to the estimation of the Divine Power Bureau, in 30 years, the population of our current territory will double, and there will be 270 million by then! Thirty years later, the northern homeland will definitely return to China, and with the population of the north, the total population of the country will be as much as 340 million! ”

Lu Hanshan muttered: "Guotai is safe, the government is harmonious, and naturally the people are prosperous, but ...... 130 million, 340 million, hiss......"

This number is so terrible that even Lu Hanshan, who has sailed through Europa and Dongzhou, and is already the first person to sail in the country, feels his scalp tingle. At this point, the countries of Europa are simply inconspicuous. Britain is less than 10 million, Spain is less than 20 million, France is less than 30 million, and the combined population of all countries cannot be compared with Britain and China.

Lan Dingyuan spat out a turbid breath and said again: "You also know what this figure means, the officials of the Ministry of Culture and Culture knew these numbers, and they were all so frightened that they almost urinated blood. The emperor's policy of enlightenment in one country is tens of millions of children! With the addition of primary schools, a country can have millions of teachers alone! ”

Lu Hanshan nodded, if it was him, I am afraid he would have to despair. Lan Dingyuan sighed: "The art of farming is advanced, and it is not difficult to grow food to feed so many people, but the people cannot stand on their own without employment, and the world is uneasy if the people are unemployed." His Majesty led the imperial court, pushed a country, made every effort to build a new industry, and accommodated more and more people, just to settle the world. Fighting for public interests externally and educating the people internally is also an internal dispute. However, the trend of human reproduction is becoming more and more fierce, relying only on the land in the country, only relying on the new industry in the country, I am afraid that it will not be able to catch up with this trend, and then the public interest will be insufficient, and there will be no place for people, and a country will lose its righteousness and rise again. ”…,

Lu Hanshan said: "It's not that people can't be tolerated, but I'm afraid that when the time comes, just like the blind man said, the world will be one percent rich and ninety percent starving!" ”

Lan Dingyuan stroked his palm and said, "That's right! The Commander-in-Chief should also understand why the imperial court is always in a hurry to push the countrymen overseas......"

Then he said: "As for the consul's concerns, it is also worth being vigilant. However, just like the Coral State Rebellion, even if they are overseas, the Chinese people still have to rely on the righteousness of China and the law of the country to stand firm and take root. ”

Lu Hanshan was also relieved, and said with a smile: "That is, with our navy, with you people with lofty ideals who are dedicated to the country, and with idlers like the Heavenly Temple and even the blind man Wang, we Yinghua can also cover the four oceans with the righteousness of China!" ”

Lan Dingyuan added: "Not only us, but also the kind of person like Master Zhong, only by relying on the righteousness of China, public and private interests can be integrated, and Master Zhong and they can achieve their achievements overseas safely and steadily." ”

Thinking of Fang Wu again, Lu Hanshan smiled and said: "There are also such strong people, they can turn to outsiders, instead of harming the countrymen......"

There was a report from outside, saying that the storm had stopped, Lu Hanshan and Lan Dingyuan looked at each other and smiled, raising their glasses in celebration...... Bring the cute girl
