In the future, even if someone wants to come to get a piece of the pie, they will have to pass through his family's land, and when the time comes, he will have a lot of income as a rent-collector.

Now the father and son are only looking at the site for stockpiling coal mines, which had been selected a few days ago, less than 50 meters in front of the mine exit.

This is a slope from which the excavated coal is poured and loaded directly under the slope.

This place is close to the highway, and it only takes a simple road of less than 100 meters to allow vehicles to pass.

And it is not far from the mine exit, which will greatly reduce the consumption of labor.

Then there's the spaciousness, and if the slope is used properly, the amount of coal that can be stacked will be enormous.

The most important point is the topography of this place, there are ditches on both sides, no matter how much rain it is, it will not cause flooding.

After careful measurement by Gu Yun and his son, they were quite satisfied with this place.

And Gu Yun knew that in his previous life, this was the place where coal was stored, and it had been used for more than ten years, until he was reborn, and there were no problems.

All they needed to do was build a solid retaining wall and loading area at the bottom of the slope.

Of course, it's not right now, and it's too late to wait until the coal is excavated and then build it slowly.

The father and son glanced at each other and began to dig up in the place designated by Gu Yun.

On the first day, the two dug to a depth of four meters and stopped.

All of the excavated soil was sandy and gravel, mixed with some brownish stones.

It's not that they can't continue digging, but if they dig again, there is a possibility of collapse, and the mine needs to be reinforced.

The method of reinforcement is also relatively simple, just cut some thick trees to make support.

Three thick trees are made into a 'gate' frame, which is erected every half a meter, and the gap is filled with shrub branches to achieve the effect of reinforcement.

This primitive method, in fact, is really useful, it is still good, although it is not as good as the reinforced concrete mines of later generations, it is enough in this year.

The most important reason is that this method is relatively economical and almost does not cost anything, and this is what the Gu Yun family can do at present.

And when it comes to trees, there are quite a few pine trees on one side of this barren mountain, which is naturally their target.

At this time, there was no talk of forest protection, so they could use local materials, otherwise this problem would also make their idea of opening a coal mine bankrupt.

It was another few hours of busyness, and by the time they had strengthened the mine, it was already evening.

The father and son were busy all day, dragging their tired bodies home, Gu Yun didn't even have the strength to eat, and after barely pulling two mouthfuls, he washed and slept.

The next day, Gu Yun couldn't even lift his hands, especially last night, his hands were swollen like sausages, tormenting him to fall asleep in the middle of the night, and now he is sleepy.

At this time, he realized that being a coal boss with no money was such a hard thing.

However, Gu Yun didn't have the idea of looking for someone to help, because if he helped, there would be a conflict of interest, which was a situation he didn't want to see.

He can share the cake with the people in the village, but he won't cooperate with the people in the village.

Because in his previous life, the various strange operations of these people made him remember it vividly, and in Gu Yun's impression, in this village, except for a few two, there was no one who could let him cooperate with confidence.

In Gu Jianguo's shouting, Gu Yun wailed and got up, and then stiffly began to dress and eat, and began to work hard all day.

Today, most of the time Gu Jianguo is doing it, and Gu Yun is working on the side, and the speed is not as fast as yesterday.

After a day, plus yesterday's digging, a total of six meters were dug in.

And here, what appeared in front of them was no longer the sand and gravel layer outside, but the sulfur stone that exuded a strong smell of coal.

This kind of sulfur stone appeared, and Gu Jianguo finally believed it at the instigation of his son, and he was greatly relieved in his heart.

Don't look at him all the time, he's under a lot of pressure these days.

After seeing this sulfur stone mixed with the smell of coal, it was obvious that his hands and feet were much faster.

With the sound of pickaxes striking stones, the loose brimstone was being carved out.

However, after seeing that the sky had darkened, Gu Jianguo still put away his mood, greeted Gu Yun, and the two of them ended today's matter and began to walk home.

In the next nearly a week, Gu Yun slowly adapted to this kind of high-intensity physical work, and was able to take turns digging with Gu Jianguo.

But instead of improving, the speed is much slower than it was at the beginning.

Because at this time, the stone in front of them is relatively hard, and it often takes a long time to chisel into a short distance.

On the ninth day of their excavation, they finally dug up their goal.

As a brimstone fell off, what reappeared before their eyes was a black stone.

But both father and son laughed when they saw the stone, it was not a stone, but coal, and it was high-quality anthracite.

At this point, Gu Yun and his son no longer bothered to dig, and the next thing was to find someone.

After returning to the village, Gu Jianguo went to the old branch secretary's house, and Gu Yun quickly took a bath and then cooked with his mother.

After a while, Gu Jianguo came back, accompanied by the old branch secretary and a few young people from the village.

After a few people had dinner at Gu Yun's house, they began to discuss the matter of the coal mine.

Now that autumn is now, every family is in the village for the winter firewood, and now it is known that the village has actually mined coal mines, which is undoubtedly a great news.

No, I called a few young people to come here, just so that this year, everyone has coal for the winter.

At this time, the old branch secretary also reacted, this ancient founding party wants this barren mountain, and he must have known that there is something below, otherwise he would have divided the land and made such a big event.

Looking at Gu Jianguo's eyes, it was not quite right, but Gu Jianguo had already obtained the lease contract for this barren mountain, even if he wanted to say anything, there was no reason.

In fact, the most important thing that made the old branch secretary helpless was Gu Jianguo.

Don't look at him as just an honest farmer, but Gu Jianguo's popularity is very good, and there are no people in the neighborhood that he doesn't know, and most of them have excellent relationships.

And according to the old party secretary's network channels, the next village party secretary, if there is no accident, will be Gu Jianguo.

Based on these two reasons, the thoughts in the old branch secretary's heart were forcibly extinguished by him.
