Two days later, Thomas, who finally failed to take another look at the gold nuggets, with a pair of panda eyes, under the personal protection of Long Guozhang, led a few people to the place where Du Dazhuang found the dog's head gold, according to his estimates, that place is likely to be where the gold vein is.

After Li Mo handed over the gold nuggets to Li Fu for safekeeping, he started training with the forty people selected by Zhao Long.

The training was very hard, Zhao Long was training these people completely in accordance with the requirements of the German instructors in the new army, and when the day's training was over, everyone was so tired that they almost fell down, but when these fishermen and mud legs, who had only been carrying their guns for a few days, saw that the twelve-year-old Young Master Li actually followed everyone to survive, and the complaints to the mouth disappeared without a trace.

In the next few days, Zhang Shun still took a few nimble guys to look around for the natives' lair, and Thomas took Long Guozhang and didn't know what he was busy with, his feet in and out of the busy didn't touch the ground, and Master Li naturally didn't have time to ask, the high-intensity training in the past few days made him almost unable to get out of bed, especially the shooting training, which made him almost want to be a deserter.

At this moment, he lifted his clothes and looked at the black and purple shoulders, Li Mo secretly complained in his heart, this is much harder than the military training he participated in before, he was an engineer at that time, and military training was to go through the motions and have fun firing a few shots, which is like now, practicing aiming with a gun is a long time, plus the recoil when shooting, with his current age, it is already very good that his arm is not dislocated.

"Hey, we've gone to school together, we've carried guns together, and we've done that and that together! It's no problem...... "Thinking about the three iron laws that were rated as the three iron laws by later generations, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Master Li's mouth, in order to win people's hearts, I am afraid that I will have to hold on for a few days.

Li Mo was just about to pick the wick a little longer, look at his shoulders, and find a way to reduce the swelling first, when he saw Xiao Xiao walking in with a basin of water, and hurriedly wanted to cover up his clothes.

But he was fast, but the little girl who had been staring at him was fast, and when she saw the young master picking up her clothes to cover up, the little girl hurriedly put down the basin and ran over, and when she saw Li Yunfei's shoulder, she exclaimed in fright: "Young master, you ......." ”

"Shhhh Li Mo hurriedly covered his small mouth, pointed outside and said softly: "It's nothing, it's all practiced these days, and it will be fine in a few days." ”

"Young master, why are you bothering? Isn't there Zhao Long and a few of them? Looking at the huge and swollen black green nest, the little girl's tears couldn't be stopped, and she hurriedly found a few pieces of cotton wool and dipped some water to rub them for Li Yunfei.

"Shh......h As soon as the cold water touched his skin, it suddenly made Li Mo's forehead sweat and gasp. And the little girl was even more frightened and didn't dare to do it again, standing stupidly and not knowing what to do.

"It's okay, let's go ahead." Li Mo gritted his teeth and motioned for Xiaoxiao to continue, before he said slowly: "You think I don't want to be lazy, I still want to be able to sleep with you every day, but I have to do these things, otherwise everyone is busy and practicing hard, and I am here to enjoy happiness, what do you think people will think?" ”

Xiaoxiao nodded, this kind of thing of buying people's hearts has not been done by generals before, but at that time, it was just a show, how can the young master be like this now, and his whole body is injured, but even so, the young master still grits his teeth and gets up early in the morning every day, and goes over the mountains and mountains with everyone to practice.

Thinking that the young master is now taking his own people, hanging alone overseas, coming to this inaccessible place, and having to work hard a little bit in order to survive, the small tears can't stop flowing.

"Okay, don't cry, crying doesn't look good, it's a big deal I won't ask you to sleep with me, okay?" Li Mo gagged Xiaoxiao, but he thought about Zhang Shun, who had been out for a few days, and asked with some worry: "By the way, does Zhang Shun have any news?" ”

"Not yet." Xiao Xiao blushed and shook her head.

"Why haven't you come back yet?" Looking at the starry night sky outside the house, Li Mo frowned and became worried.

Early the next morning, Li Mo, who couldn't sleep with Xiaoxiao under the pretext of being seriously injured, was woken up by a scream outside, and before he could open his hazy sleepy eyes and hear what was happening, he saw that the old housekeeper Li Fu had already come to the bedside, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the young master, old slave!" ”

"Congratulations?"

"yes, that Thomas has already found the location of the gold mine!" The fast-talking little shouted excitedly.

"What!" Li Mo rolled over from this bed, and was about to run out, when he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said to Li Fu: "Fu Bo, we are not in the Great Qing Kingdom anymore, you will not be an old slave in the future, I don't feel comfortable listening to it." ”

"Ah, that's not going to work! I have been an old slave since I was a child, ....... "Just wondering why the young master went and returned, Li Fu hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

"Stop! There's nothing that can't be done, since you all said that I'm in charge now, this rule is set! And you, little girl, you are not allowed to be slaves and slaves in the future, and if you dare to say it, the young master will immediately hold you to sleep! Li Mo didn't give Li Fu a chance to speak, looked at the little one who was snickering next to him, and bluffed his face.

"Oh, I got it, young master!" The little girl stuck out her tongue and responded obediently.

Soon, Li Mo met Thomas under the leadership of Li Fu, who was still chattering and unwilling to change his words, this guy was discussing with Long Guozhang and the two of them, how many people to take to open the mine, when he saw Li Yunfei, he hugged each other and said excitedly: "Oh my God, dear Li, do you know what I found?" God, you should see for yourself! ”

"Die open, the young master is not Lala!" Li Mo kicked Thomas away, this guy didn't know how many days he hadn't taken a bath, Li Yunfei, who was only as tall as the other party's arm, was almost smoked to death by the smell.

At this moment, Thomas didn't mind Li Mo kicking him at all, but continued to look at him excitedly, shouting: "Li, let your people hurry up, I'm too late." ”

"Okay, then you can change hundreds of people for me!" Li Mo spread his hands and said.

"How many hundreds?" Thomas quickly reacted, now there are only more than 200 people in the camp, Li Mo has sent another 40 people as guards, plus the necessary logistics personnel and gold miners on the river bay, I am afraid that there are less than 30 people who can be pulled out to open mines, and when he thinks of the huge vein containing unimaginable gold, he can't help but pout his mouth when he is most excited.

You must know that it is a super large vein, conservatively estimated to have at least hundreds of tons of gold, such a large vein, if it has to be developed, in addition to the necessary machinery, at least thousands of people are needed. What's more, on Li Mo's map, there are several similar veins, and the population needed is more than 10,000.

"Or let me go back and find some people!" Long Guozhang listened to the conversation between the two and interjected.

"This is a solution, but far water can't quench your thirst, if you want to dig out the mine before winter comes, at least five hundred people are enough!" Chen Ping calculated for a moment and said immediately.

"Five hundred?" Li Mo's head hurts, where did he go to find so many people? At the beginning, I was just bent on finding a big ore vein, but now I have found it, but I don't have enough people to develop it, so do you want to go to a nearby place of residence to recruit people?

Li Mo shook his head, before he had enough strength, he didn't want to deal with foreign devils, at least he had to wait until he had enough money to buy all the ore veins and land, and then he could recruit workers, otherwise the news of the big gold mine would leak out, and it would be a disaster!

Li Mo was having a headache about how to solve the personnel problem, and Zhao Long, who had finally understood a few people who had a few people for a while and Chinese for a while, suddenly interjected: "It's not that there is no way to get there, it's just ......."

"What's the solution?" As soon as Li Mo heard that Zhao Long had a door, he hurriedly asked.

"Young master, have you forgotten that Zhang Shun has been out for four or five days, I estimate that there will be news in the next two days, as long as those natives are caught, there will be enough manpower!"

"That's right!" Long Guozhang slapped his thigh and sighed: "Why didn't I think of it? Anyway, it's a waste to kill these guys to get revenge, so it's better to use them as piglets! ”

Said, despise these guys, and just get rid of the fate of piglets, he thinks about treating others as piglets. But this method is not bad, Li Mo has no good impression of those Indians, not to mention that they killed their own people, even if there is no such thing, as more and more people come to pan for gold, there will be conflicts sooner or later. As for whether it is humane, please, if he doesn't do this kind of thing, someone will always do it, and it is already very merciful to let them only be laborers than to be slaughtered by others in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Mo hurriedly said, "Zhao Long, you still have to strengthen your training there!" As soon as Zhang Shun came back, he set off immediately. ”

"Yes." Zhao Long nodded, gritted his teeth, and went to practice the eggs of those recruits again.

"Guozhang, Yuan Xiao, the two of you can discuss whether you can go back and find some people, after all, we have too few people, if we rely on catching the natives to make up the number, once the natives gather, I'm afraid it will be easy to change!"

"That's what the young master said!" Long Guozhang and Chen Ping nodded hurriedly.

"Well, everyone is too worried, let's go see Mr. Thomas's big discovery first!" Li Mo smiled, dragged Thomas, who was hiding next to him and didn't know what he was thinking, and set off.

Half an hour later, Li Yunfei came to the ore vein discovered by Thomas, and as several guards opened the mouth of the temporarily excavated mine hole, Li Mo took the lead in drilling in.

The passage of the pit is very narrow, because it is dug temporarily, and there are not enough people, so it is only more than ten meters long, but when Li Mo came to the mine wall, he was still stunned. I saw that under the high kerosene lamp temporarily propped up, on the wall of the mine, a wonderful, glittering thin line of golden light gradually extended, until the thin line at the end suddenly enlarged, turning into a whole large ball of golden sand, plunging into the mine wall.

"Thomas said, at least three hundred tons!" At Li Yunfei's signal, Chen Ping, who had already begun to use the metric calculation method, hurriedly added.

"Three hundred tons?!" Li Mo would like to tell everyone that more than 100 years later, after more than 500 tons of gold have been mined here, production is still increasing. But he still held back, because he knew that in this era of insufficient surveying and mapping methods, saying that would only make people think that he was crazy!

The most important thing now is not to estimate the production, but to mine enough gold as soon as possible, exchange it for cash, and then Thomas will come in and buy the land legally.

What's more, this land is not only gold, oil, tungsten, copper, iron, coal, sulfur, etc., it is almost an inexhaustible treasure mountain! For Li Mo, controlling this place is the beginning of his real take-off.

As long as he controls the resources here, then he has the possibility of taking food under the watchful eye of the great powers, of course, this is Canada, next to the United States, he will not be stupid enough to establish a power base here, in that case, I am afraid that the army will drive in the next day, Li Mo only wants the resources here, and it is obtained without being noticed by others, then the best way is undoubtedly to find a spokesperson, Thomas is just a coincidence, even without him, I am afraid that there will be a second and third to be supported.

The most critical issue in front of us now is population, a large number of people, only then can the first pot of gold be mined as soon as possible, and then we can buy the land here and build a huge mining empire

"Damn the population! Where are the Indians hiding? ”
