Chapter 172 Gold Mine Production

The scene of these dozens of heads rolling around can be described as extremely bloody, and it stands to reason that the people watching the punishment must be frightened, but the crowd below was silent at first, and then I don't know who started crying. I don't know where the cry started, and it instantly spread throughout the canyon, and some people even knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, and shouted: "Dad, mother, have you seen it, Your Highness has avenged you." ”

Someone stood there stunned as if he were a puppet.

At this moment, Wu Fengyi came to Zhu Houhuang's side and whispered to Zhu Houhuang: "Your Highness, a large number of bones have been found in the mine, there are probably thousands, and the specific number has yet to be counted. ”

Zhu Houhuang saw the scene below and heard what Wu Fengyi said. Naturally, you can guess how these people live in the mine, it can be said that there is no daylight. Boss Zheng's heart is like iron and stone, and he is exchanging human life for gold. Thinking of this, Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but feel sympathy, and said: "Don't count, bury them all, put them into the ground, don't clean them anymore." ”

Zhu Houhuang sometimes has to admire the ability of Zheng Boss, Zhu Houhuang from the discovery of the Beigang gold mine, after the news, did not think about how to develop, he encountered a battle with the Franco, and then the commander has been busy rebuilding the navy, and now the situation in Beigang is uncontrollable again, but it is only three months apart.

In three months, Zheng Boss was able to find the gold mine and mine it successfully. If it weren't for the fact that the means were too poisonous, there would be no room for others, and there would be no room for yourself. Zhu Houhuang wants to regain the hearts of these miners, is there any more useful tool than his head?

"Long live His Royal Highness King Yong, long live long live."

I don't know who shouted first, and it filled the entire canyon for a while.

Zhu Houhuang's face immediately changed, Li Liangqin immediately understood what he meant, pulled out the short fire system on his body, and shot it into the sky, the gunfire suppressed the shouting, Li Liangqin said loudly: "His Royal Highness King Yong is victorious." His voice sounded in Zhu Houhuang's ears like thunder.

The people below immediately changed their words and said, "His Royal Highness King Yong, Wansheng." ”

The sound was repeated over and over again in the canyon, echoes and shouts superimposed. It seems that the voice is more agitated back and forth.

Zhu Houhuang breathed a sigh of relief, King Ning was about to rebel, Zhu Houhuang was in a place of suspicion, and there were some taboos that he had to care. But in retrospect, he didn't know how to have a forbidden pleasure at the call of long live just now.

When everyone's mood calmed down, Zhu Houhuang once again made arrangements for the more than 10,000 people in front of him, and those who wanted to leave. Descend the mountain and divide the fields near Beigang, and the people of Qi became the people of Yongguo.

People who don't want to go down the mountain can continue to work in the mines, but at that time, the mines would not be as wasteful as they are now.

Under Zhu Houhuang's diversion, almost none of the old, weak, sick and disabled wanted to stay, so Zhu Houhuang ordered Yu Dayou to send them to Beigang and ordered Li Shigui to organize them into households. Distribution of land.

Among the remaining young people, some of them have gone down the mountain, and there are more than 1,000 people who don't want to go down the mountain, they want to join the army, but Zhu Houhuang's personal soldiers are by no means able to join if they want to.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Uncle, the matter of this gold mine will be handed over to you." He thought about it, and finally handed over this task to Wu Fengyi.

Zhu Houhuang said: "Now that the trade in the South Seas is restricted, there is a big financial gap if we want to rebuild the Navy. Gold mining is one of the most important sources of finance. It needs to be taken very seriously. And Gu can't give his uncle too much human support. ”

In Zhu Houhuang's view, establishing a self-sufficient system in Dongyong is far more important than a gold mine, so Zhu Houhuang will not pile so many people on top of the gold mine. They must be allowed to cultivate farmland in Dongyong. It's not entirely for food, but to let more people take root in Dongyong, and only when more people take root in Dongyong, the future Yongguo will have the ability to compete.

"And human life is precious. Lonely is not allowed to exchange human lives for gold to reappear in North Harbor. However, my uncle could use more gunpowder to open mines and blow up mountains. Lone is going to organize these miners into an army, which can be regarded as a county army. Lonely will send someone to help my uncle. ”

At the beginning, Yiwu miners swept the world. Of course, Zhu Houhuang knows how suitable the miners are to be soldiers. Naturally, I don't let it go.

However, Zhu Houhuang does not plan to let these miners go to the battlefield, mainly because Zhu Houhuang has too many mines to open in the future, not to mention, coal mines and iron mines alone must be opened. This militarized mining force will be the technical backbone of Zhu Houhuang's great mining career, and sometimes it can even be used in some other things, such as blowing up the city wall.

"Of course, Lone won't let Uncle stay here for a long time, Uncle only needs to cultivate the right person, and then he can return to Lone, and Uncle Lone is indispensable by Lone's side."

Choosing Wu Fengyi was also Zhu Houhuang's helpless choice. The gold mine is a fat gap, and in this position, if you don't put a reassuring person, you will wait to recover the stolen goods in the future. But there are not many people Zhu Houhuang can trust, and there are not many people who are willing to hold this position.

Wu Fengyi didn't want to leave Zhu Houhuang. Zhu Houhuang is the power center of the entire Yongguo, although the Yongguo has just taken shape. However, some contradictions between the ministers have already shown some signs of this. Wu Fengyi was naturally reluctant to leave the center of power, he thought about it and said, "The minister has one condition. ”

Zhu Houhuang smiled: "Uncle, please speak." ”

"The minister first asks His Highness to send Wang Zhi to the minister." Wu Fengyi said.

"Wang Zhi?" Zhu Houhuang seemed to be asking Wu Fengyi, and he seemed to be asking himself. Of course he understands Wu Fengyi's thoughts, Wang Zhi and Yu Dayou are his personal guards together, Yu Dayou has become the county lieutenant of a county, and it can be said that he is alone. But Wang Zhi is still by Zhu Houhuang's side, as a personal guard.

Wu Fengyi clearly wanted to use Wang Zhi as her substitute.

Zhu Houhuang thought and said, "Go and call Wang Zhi." ”

After a while, Wang Zhi came over. said: "Chen Wang Zhi has seen His Highness. ”

Zhu Houhuang said: "Wang Zhi, what do you think of this gold mine? ”

Wang Zhi's heart jumped, and he immediately said secretly: "The opportunity I was waiting for has finally come." ”

In terms of martial arts, Wang Zhi is too far worse than Yu Dayou, as soon as Yu Dayou encounters the war, he stands out, Wang Zhi's actions can be regarded as a little circle, but compared with Yu Dayou, it is much inferior.

This is one of the reasons why Yu Dayou was promoted, released, and became a county lieutenant.

Wang Zhi is self-aware, he knows that he wants to compare with Yu Dayou in martial arts, and there is no hope in this life, but it does not mean that he can only be pressed by Yu Dayou in his life.

Now is his chance, Wang Zhi said: "If the minister comes to preside over this gold mine, first inspect the river and establish water transportation to transport supplies. And the miners will be compiled, and more gunpowder will be mined----"

Wang Zhi is much stronger than Yu Dayou, that is, he has been cultivated as the patriarch of the Wang clan since he was a child, and he has experience in handling affairs and skills, although he does not know much about this gold mine, but this does not prevent him from putting forward more than a dozen opinions. In the end, Wang Zhi paused and said, "Your Highness, why don't you mint gold coins?" ”

A word of surprise to the dreamer, Zhu Houhuang heard Wang Zhi's words, the first feeling, this guy is not crossing, in Zhu Houhuang's heart, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there has never been a saying of minting gold and silver coins.

Zhu Houhuang now has a gold mine, and if he wants to maximize the benefits of the gold mine and mint gold coins, it may not be a good way.

Zhu Houhuang recalled Wang Zhi's words and deeds, without any trace of the characteristics of a traverser. Only then did he put his mind at ease and said, "You can follow Lord Wu to manage the gold mine first." ”

Zhu Houhuang neither adopted Wang Zhi's opinion, nor did he refuse. However, Zhu Houhuang feels that he is now based on a stable foothold in Dongyong, and everything is based on stability. Many things have to be put aside first, such as Wang Zhi's opinion on coinage.

However, Wang Zhi is not without brilliance this time, at least Zhu Houhuang drew a circle under Wang Zhi's name in his heart, and became one of the several courtiers favored by Zhu Houhuang. left a very heavy impression on Zhu Houhuang.
