Chapter 208: The Golden Mountain Gambling (3)
"Hey, what are you doing watching our gold mines, you thief? What, sign up to come to our mine to pan for gold? Tsk, just your white-skinned and tender sissy? Don't look at you Chen San, with a white face with thin arms and thin legs like you, you have to cry when you go down to the river...... Good man, he really has eyesight! Our Lixin mine is a well-known good treatment, as long as you are down-to-earth and willing to work, you can earn a few taels of yellow and clear gold before the end of the autumn. Brother, I will arrange for you to live in a human shed, and there are people living in this shed, and the shed is spacious and bright. Later, you can go to the big Li over there and get a golden sieve, and then go down to the river to start work today. ”
Last time, we went to Yang Congxun, and he learned from the mouth of Grandma Heishan's grandmother and grandmother Zhou that the second grandmother Huang he was looking for was not at home in Tiesha Mountain at the moment, but hurriedly went to the Huang family's sand gold mine in Erdaohezi to sit in charge of peace.
When he came back and asked Steward Wang, who was familiar with the nearby geographical itinerary, Yang Congxun found that he and the caravan could not go together next: Erdaohezi, which he wanted to go, was southeast of Zhoujiayao, and Shengjing, where the caravan was going, had to cross the three-way intersection west of the town and continue to the northwest.
Fortunately, Yang Congxun had already planned to drive the car alone, and when he saw that the caravan was about to be separated, he did not continue to hesitate, and said goodbye to Steward Wang, and prepared to part ways
At this moment, Steward Wang suddenly looked so anxious that he waved his hand at Yang Congxun and said, "Dongjia, this kind of mining area is already a trap that swallows countless people, but if the Huang family opens a gold mine, it will be even more difficult to go...... Since Huang Er's grandmother was in a hurry to go to the gold mine, it was clear that someone was eyeing the Huang family's gold mine! ”
As mentioned earlier, the sand and gold mines in western Liaoning mainly rely on gold diggers to sift through river sand, but even if a large gold mine can gather thousands of gold diggers, these people will not be able to occupy the entire riverbed.
(As for whether the miners will flee while the overseers on the shore are unprepared when they go down to the river to pan for gold, the gold mine owner said that there is no need to worry at all...... The miner's clothes and pants are piled up on the shore, and if you have the ability, you can run dozens of miles of mountain roads bare. )
In order to prevent the gold diggers from secretly hiding the sand gold harvested that day, the mine owner must organize people to search the gold diggers one by one after they have landed on the shore, that is, the so-called shaking of the arms and tongues and shaking the buttocks.
This arm vibrating means that the person who came has no armpit hidden, and the tongue shake is the mouth without it, as for why the overseer rounded his arm and slapped the buttocks of those gold diggers...... The weight of this sand gold is not light, if you slap this rao ass hard, most of the sand gold particles will not be able to hold there...... It is precisely for the convenience of going ashore to search their bodies that those gold diggers will be allowed to go into the water naked.
However, the body search is possible, but the time for the body search must not be delayed for too long...... If most of the casual workers are searched and these unruly men who are already hungry, wet and cold after coming out of the water are hungry and hungry with a heavy golden sieve (white copper texture, the empty sieve also weighs seven or eight catties), then they will rebel en masse.
It is definitely not possible to search the body, and it will not work if the body search takes a long time, which will lead to the death of a sand gold mine at most a thousand rao.
The problem is that people have big mouths.
Thousands of gold diggers are already the organizational limit of a gold mine, but a gold mine has to occupy all the riverbeds that can be used for gold in the vicinity for more than ten miles...... Eating in the bowl and looking at the pot, although no one has mined that riverbed for the time being, but that piece has long been occupied by our family, and no one in the side wants to open a mine.
In order to snatch the riverbed in the hands of others, the owners of the gold mines organized gold prospectors to fight each other, and even gave rise to a business called 'gold fighting'.
The so-called 'gold fighting' refers to the fact that two gold mine owners who are eyeing the same mining area each select their most fierce and bloodthirsty gold diggers, and after drinking the blood wine of the oath to the oath and saying that they will never regret their life and death, they will go on the field to duel one-on-one...... The winner occupies the mine and mines, and the loser carries the corpse and leaves.
In order to recruit gold diggers to participate in the gold fight, many stingy gold mine owners have set the price of 'gold for a day'...... As long as the gold fight wins, then the gold mined in the first gold mine will belong to this gold digger alone!
"The owner, the Huang family's gold mine has been intentionally recorded. I heard that brother tell us earlier that the Huang family has never lost in the gold mine! ”
Listening to Steward Wang, many gold diggers are evil in the gold mines of the Huang family...... Because those gold diggers who fought with gold and gold mines all raised white flags and admitted defeat when they fought on the field!
Since you dare to jump out to fight for gold, you are ready to lose your life...... A person who is not afraid of death will still admit defeat in a life-and-death duel, isn't this still evil?
You must know that 'fighting gold' is a well-recognized rule of mining in the gold mining industry, if you are unwilling to 'fight for gold' with others, then you can only organize all your gold diggers to fight with each other.
The question is, are the gold diggers willing to participate in group fights?
The owner of the mine can only close his business if he has no riverbed to mine, but the gold diggers can change to a gold mine, and they can still go into the water to screen gold...... "Anyway, I just go into the water to pan for gold, if there is a mine, I will go down, and if there is no mine, I will leave, this fight is so damaged that my own body is damaged, and if you want to rob the mine, you can find those who dare to 'fight gold'!" ”
Since this Huangjia gold mine can only win and not lose when it is 'fighting gold', it naturally grabs a large piece of the riverbed, and it is difficult to ensure that it will not be intentionally recorded.
This is the reason why Wang Steward Yi always warned Yang Cong to follow these two rivers and not to go: since the news of the unstable life of the gold diggers in the Huangjia Gold Mine came out, it was natural that someone with a heart invited a master who knew evil arts from other places to make a special embarrassment with the Huang Xian...... Something like this kind of evil is good to avoid.
However, some people are afraid of this evil thing, and some people are not afraid...... Since inquiring about Steward Wang, the gold mine of the Huangxian family, may have caused trouble with evil sects recently, Hu San and Huo Longju have been gearing up, and they have to shout that they want to go to the Erdaohezi gold mine to see it.
Therefore, Yang Congxun politely declined the kindness of the Wang steward, and insisted on going to the Huangjia gold mine.
Seeing that Yang Congxun's mind had been decided, Steward Wang could only sigh and agree, and after repeatedly telling Yang Congxun not to act with Meng Lang, he informed Yang Congxun of the path to Erdaohezi one by one.
So, Yang Congxun changed into a gold digger who was about to go to the Huangjia Gold Mine to recruit and screen goldworkers, leading Hu Sanhuo Longju and the Thirteen Taibao, and swaggered to drive to the Erdaohezi Gold Mine.
However, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the gold mine, Yang Congxun was stopped by Chen San, the head of the recommendation responsible for recruiting metalworkers at the gate...... After handing over a piece of broken silver with white flowers, Chen San put Yang Congxun, who was driving in the car, with a smile on his face: "Turn right in front and keep left is the herringbone shed." ”
The officials must know that Yang Congxun is definitely not here to pan for gold, this is just a cover for forgiveness.
Therefore, Yang Congxun did not go to any 'herringbone' shed to report to receive the shop cover, but walked back and forth around several sheds in the mining area with his hands behind his back, and soon found a wooden shed surrounded by countless rough men who were making a lot of noise at the moment!
"Hurry up and place your bets! The monster in the wine world is going to bet against the owner of the yellow mine! The strange hand in the wine world loses five, and the yellow mine owner sits in the village and loses three! ”
