Chapter 375: Unloading the mill and killing the donkey

(Ask for a subscription!) Ask for a ticket! )

In the cabin, Xiao Qi gnawed on a piece of venison jerky, there was no taste in his mouth, two brothers died this time, and there was a seriously injured person, it is estimated that it will not last long, seeing that he is dying, he doesn't know how to explain to Li Yaoyang and his brothers' families when he goes back.

A cronie leaned over and handed over the kettle, which was still steaming.

"Brother Seven, drink some hot food to warm up."

"Let everyone check the ammunition and respond to emergencies at any time." Xiao Qi was still not at ease, and told everyone to be careful.

"Don't worry, Brother Qi, I have explained to them, there are people outside who are sentry."

"Well, that bastard Britt has shown me a good look, and there are a few other people, don't let them run away."

"It's all tied with ropes, and I definitely can't run!"

"Okay, everyone has worked hard this time, if I can find a gold mine, I will go back and apply to Brother Yang and give you more bonuses."

The cronies hesitated for a moment, and whispered tentatively:

"Brother Seven, only we know about this matter, if we really find a gold mine, it's better to..."

Xiao Qi's expression froze:

"Is that what you mean or is that what everyone else meant?"

The cronies were startled and shrank their necks, he had never seen Xiao Qi with such a look, those eyes were cold and ruthless, like an ice cellar that could engulf people at any time.

"This... Seventh brother, I don't mean anything else, it's, it's..."

Xiao Qi stood up and carried Thompson with him, the muzzle of the gun swayed left and right, and he could aim at the target at any time.

"I don't care what you mean, I don't want to hear anything like that a second time, if you are dissatisfied with Brother Yang, then kill me and swallow the gold mine by yourself, if it's just a momentary greed, I advise you to stop as soon as possible, the money is inexhaustible, Brother Yang and I have not treated you badly, you can't be a man without a conscience."

For a while, the needles in the wooden house could be heard, and everyone was so shocked by Xiao Qi's momentum that they didn't dare to speak, and they lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly into each other's eyes.

The cronie was ashamed and said,

"I'm sorry Brother Seven, it's everyone who is interested in getting rich, and it's all my idea to beat or scold you for coming at me alone!"

Xiao Qi didn't answer, but the disappointment on his face was overflowing.

——————————

There was nothing to say all night, everyone rested for a few hours, and as soon as the sky was bright, they set off on the road again, before leaving, Xiao Qi asked people to leave some materials in the house for the next person to use, which is also the rule of walking in the mountains.

After walking for another half a day, finally, the sound of gurgling water and a trace of moisture ignited the enthusiasm of the big guy, is it coming?

Britt replied in the affirmative:

"This is where I named it the Tsukumeng River, a tributary of the Yukon River."

Walking through the dense primeval forest, soon, a curved river channel came into view, and the cyan river water flowed over the white snowfield, like the blue veins under the snow-white skin of a young girl.

The clear water of the river can be seen at a glance, and fish can be seen swimming freely.

Xiao Qi stood by the river and looked out, completely unable to tell that this was a gold mine.

The gold in the river is called sand gold, and the sand gold ore is formed in the low-lying place, which is a sand gold deposit formed by weathering, denudation, transportation and sedimentation of the upstream rocks containing gold mineralized zones or gold veins or gold deposits.

The most gold content is in the Quaternary strata near the Quaternary contact zone with the bedrock.

There is no difference between sand gold and primary gold, and it has to be purified.

The earliest simple mining was by hand, digging out the topsoil, digging into the gravel layer, and then using the gold panning basin to take the water to wash, because of the large proportion of gold, it will precipitate at the bottom, these golden things are sand gold.

The cost of panning for gold in this method is very low, but the results are not very good.

So there was the birth of the gold panning ship, which also dug out the fine sand layer and clay layer on the surface, and then used the gold panning ship to dig the sand and gravel layer while digging and washing, and moving forward.

This method is fast and profitable, but it is also costly, and the smallest gold panning ship currently costs more than $50,000, and with other expenses, the cost may exceed $100,000, which is obviously not the money that an ordinary gold digger can have.

Xiao Qi didn't understand this, but his cronies knew a little better, and said to Britt:

"This can't be a sand gold tailings, right?"

The so-called sand gold tailings refers to some things close to the sedimentation of sand gold in the process of gold panning, which are basically of little value.

Of course, if there are diamonds, rutile, corundum, jade and the like, it is still useful, and it is possible to lose money by mining these things, and by the way, you can earn a little bit of money.

Britt hurriedly shook his head:

"No, no, absolutely not, you can try it, the sand gold reserves here are very rich!"

The first thing to understand is that the sand and gravel in the stream or creek are constantly moving, and although the gold moves with it, the gold is heavier than all of them, and the gold finds a place to "settle", and it begins to move down in the gravel layer.

It will continue to descend until it touches something enough to stop it from descending and settles.

So a lot of gold will "stay" in the bedrock cracks, and high concentrations of placer gold will accumulate at the very bottom of these bedrock cracks.

However, this particular location is usually in the inner bend of a stream or river or in a place where there are many stones, because the gold will be resisted and settled in the vortex, so the gold content in the inner bend or the place with many stones is high.

In front of him was an inner bay, and in order to prove that he was not lying, Britt asked for a sieve, which he could find at random, any sieve, and it could be used to filter some large sand and gravel.

Then there's a gold pan, and inside the basin is a soft bottle, the kind of material that can suck things up with a pinch, which is to suck up the small amount of fine gold sand in the gold panning pot.

In addition to this, a rare earth magnet is prepared, and then you can pan for gold.

I found a random spot that was likely to be rich in gold, and used a shovel to dig out the gravel and dirt from the stream or river, and dig deeper.

Then use a sieve to separate the grit from the soil, put the sieve on the bucket, rinse it with a lot of water, and the sand and gravel will be obtained.

Of course, it is not sand and gravel, but "muddy water" rich in gold in barrels.

After the sediment in the bucket settles, the sediment is put into the gold panning basin and washed back and forth in the water, just like washing rice.

But try to put as much small sand and gravel as possible in it, so that the silt can be quickly dispersed and washed away.

Don't worry about washing the gold into the river, because it's heavy and won't float at all.

In the same way, what is scavenged out of rice is slag, and what is left is clean rice, and the same is true for gold panning.

Eventually, we will end up with black sand, that is, black sand, which contains more magnetic iron minerals in addition to gold (most of them, not all of them).

At this time, you can find a rare earth magnet to separate these materials, and at the same time, the substances adsorbed on the magnet should be rinsed back and forth in the water several times, so that the gold is washed down.

Over time, you can accumulate many small particles of gold, or gold dust.

If you are lucky, you can dig more than a pound of golden sand in a day.

After such an operation, I really got a piece of golden sand, and some brothers who had never seen much of the world couldn't help but hold their breath, and their eyes were about to fall into the river.

Britt let out a sigh of relief, he thought his life could be saved.

However, Xiao Qi asked his cronies:

"Do you remember where you are?"

The cronies knew what he was going to do, and these bastards who killed their brother must not stay.

"Remember the dead and dead, you can find it with your eyes closed."

"Well, let's do it, let them die on the gold mine, and they will die as they deserve."

Britt was so frightened that he couldn't speak, and his whole body trembled, and poor Jack couldn't have imagined that he would be buried here before he made any money after a trip.

The moment Xiao Qi turned around, the gunshot rang out, bang ~

The clear river water was instantly dyed red, but it was soon washed downstream, and as for people, find a place to bury it, and it can also be used as nourishment for the gold mine, and after thousands of years, it will be a piece of dog's head gold.

Kill people and bury corpses, hands and feet neatly.

After cleaning up all this, Xiao Qi looked at the river and took a deep breath:

"I've memorized this place, and when I come back, we're going to take every grain of gold here with us!"

The brothers shouted in unison:

"Yes!"

——————————

"Gold mines?" When Li Yaoyang received the news, it was already two months later, he was inspecting the construction site, and Xinhua Town will welcome the first batch of owners to move in at the end of the year, the buildings and villas have been capped, and indoor and outdoor renovations are currently underway.

Xiao Qi first reported the good news, and then told Li Yaoyang about the loss of his three brothers.

"Brother Yang, I want to plead guilty."

"Okay, I don't blame you, no one can do anything about emergencies."

"No, Brother Yang, it's me who is not fully prepared."

"Okay, is the pension given?"

"I make my own decisions and give it to the highest standards."

"Okay, but just say that I approved it to the outside world, otherwise it will not affect you well."

Xiao Qi said gratefully:

"Thank you, Brother Yang, it won't be in the future."

Pat him on the shoulder:

"You work hard, go rest first, I have to think about the gold panning."

In fact, the phenomenon of gold panning in this era is very common and occurs all over the world.

For example, in China, at this time it was the early years of the Republic of China, there were many foreign missionaries in Lu Province, foreigners were rampant and domineering everywhere, corrupt officials and corrupt officials extorted money, and disregarded people's lives, and the life of the Zhuang family was very sad.

It coincided with the flooding of the Yellow River, drought and locust plagues, and more than 20 million people were affected.

Tsarist Russia and Neon successively built railways, opened coal mines, and built modern enterprises such as oil mills, glass factories, and match factories in the northeast, all of which required a large number of cheap labor.

Coupled with the abundant natural resources and wasteland in Northeast China, Guandong has become the main way for poor farmers in Lu Province to make a living.

Among them, a man named Wang Rui, who studied for three years from the age of eight to ten.

There are eight brothers and sisters in the family, he is the third, the family has a large population, and it is difficult to make a living, so he went to work in the field at the age of twelve, and also followed the Kanto.

Wang Rui was first introduced by a fellow villager to work as a handyman in a Russian-run restaurant in Bingcheng, washing dishes, working for more than two years, learning to be a "leba", and then living in a restaurant elsewhere for three years.

In the spring of this year, the Guandu Gold Mining Bureau went to Bingcheng to recruit gold miners and go to Taipinggou to mine gold.

The first foothold is in Taipinggou North Zhongka.

Beizhongka is a tributary of the Jiayin River near the Heilongjiang River, where the gold miners live on a horse frame, which is low and simple.

The staple food is not bad, Yishi is the "Golden Rooster" flour from Bingcheng Shuanghe, due to the difficulty of transportation, vegetables, salt, candles, and matches are difficult to buy.

During the Republic of China, the organizational form of Taipinggou gold mining was the manager responsibility system, in fact, the manager was the head, eating, wearing, and living in charge.

The main pipe in the production is segmented, and the gold mined is delivered to the cabinet according to the internal price.

The manager assigned a large section to Wang Rui and a dozen other people, digging deep ditches and picking big hair, and the work was very tiring, but in the autumn, there was no gold, and the result was all in vain.

In winter, there are no clothes for small workers on the counter, and most of them are frozen.

Wang Rui had nowhere to go, so he worked in a small shop owned by a widow and an old lady, and the old lady saw that he worked hard and endured hardships, so she helped Wang Rui scrape together a few dollars to do a small business.

Round trip 240 miles to the ditch to deliver vegetables, paraffin, sugar, matches and other daily necessities, don't look tired, you can really make money.

Not long after, Wang Rui heard that the Beizhong card was worth some gold and wanted to release it.

He found an acquaintance, Manager Huang, and said to him:

"There's no more at the top, there's a small ditch at the bottom, if you want to do it, just do it there."

So Wang Rui found four people to do it, but he didn't expect to see gold when he uncovered the fur, which made them very happy.

At that time, the gold miners were all self-flowing from all over the country, and they were not united with each other, living in a gang or a gang, each with their own henchmen, and who mined gold and how much was kept secret from each other.

But after a long time, there is always a stuffing, so everyone is vying to open a small ditch, and the manager asks Wang Rui for a paragraph, and he insists on giving them the bag, and he doesn't agree to anything. As a result of the dispute, a hundred zhang was left, and the rest was given to someone else.

This summer, they made a "small fortune", and there were more than 100 taels left after paying the gold.

At that time, the "treasure game" and "card pill game" of the gold mining bureau were prosperous, and they were all opened by the leaders, Wang Rui would not have played money, and Wang Rui did not play the gambling game for several days.

But the manager couldn't let his money always be in his pocket, so he played with him vigorously, taught him by hand, and learned it in a few days.

I want to do it when I know it, and I get obsessed with it, and I always have to lose if I am hooked, and it doesn't take long for me to lose all my money, and I have worked hard for a year.

In the spring of the following year, Wang Rui transferred to Jinmangou.

This year, I was lucky and made a fortune, and there were about four hundred taels of gold left.

At that time, if you left it and didn't do it, you could buy half a tunzi when you returned to your hometown.

But people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and he still wants to make a fortune, so he became the leader the next year and recruited more than 50 people.

But it can also be understood, starving the cowardly, supporting the bold, being a full ghost is better than being a starving ghost.

Anyway, Wang Rui didn't think about conservative things at all, if he wanted to make money, if he wanted to make a lot of money, he had to fight, he had to fight, he had to gamble.

Successful people must have gambling nature, dare not bet on a lifetime of success, of course, gambling may also be bankrupt, are particularly fateful!
