What's the fun? Why is this guy so obscene? Ma Hanshan finally looked up at Ah Niu and found Ah Niu holding a stone and beckoning to him.

Stone... Hey... Actually flashing? Mahanshan was shocked, and then overjoyed.

Although there are many shiny stones, I know in Mahan Mountain that on this kind of yellow sandy mountain, the shiny stone should be the kind that people like the most.

What is man's favorite stone? There are stones of gold and silver, and the stone that people of every age have loved since ancient times is gold.

Hehe, of course, there are diamonds, but unfortunately, the local people who produced the game are probably still living like orangutans, how can they know what diamonds.

Besides, although diamonds are also valuable and people like them, diamonds are far less famous than gold, because diamonds have never been made into currency, and they have never been pegged to currency.

"Ah Niu, show me the stones." Ma Hanshan ran over in three steps and two to "grab" the stone in Ah Niu's hand.

The dark yellow base stone, with bright yellow stars dotted on it, Mahanshan is excited, is this gold or copper? How did this stone come out of the ground?

"Young Master... Master... Is this gold......? Ah Niu asked in a low voice.

"It's also possible that copper ......." Ma Hanshan is not sure, he has lived two lifetimes, and it is the first time he has seen the gold in the ore, he is not sure.

"Huh? Copper? Ah Niu was immediately disappointed, but he was immediately happy again, and said with a smile, "Copper is also very good, we can mint copper coins ......." ”

Eh, this thing is really bold, how dare you want to dig copper and mint money?

Ma Hanshan smiled, Ah Niu is right, copper is not bad, copper is the third most valuable metal in this world.

If, this is an open-pit mine ... Haha, that's really developed.

In this world, copper mining is more mature than gold mining, and if there is an open-pit copper mine ......here, Ma Hanshan is a little trembling with excitement.

"Where did you find the stones?" Ma Hanshan asked Ah Niu while looking through the stones.

"It's in the grass beneath your feet." Ah Niu looked at Ma Hanshan with puzzled eyes, he had to determine if the young master was in the middle of an illness now, why did he ask such a simple question again.

"Oh? Let's find out if there's any ....... Ma Hanshan put the stone in his hand into the bag on Ah Niu's body, and then he saw that the place where he was a landslide belt, and he didn't know if it was because of the earthquake or rain, but it was obviously slid down a hillside, with a length of one or two hundred zhang long, forming an obvious cascade.

"Yes, young master, there is... There are a lot of ....... At this time, Ah Niu's voice trembled. Because, on the "cliff" formed by the landslide fracture, where there is no grass, there are a lot of bare stones, and there are indeed stars on it.

Mahansan finally confirmed that the bright yellow specks were gold, because some of the stones that were pulled off had not only "yellow stars" but also silver spots.

The yellow stars are gold or bronze, and Ma Hanshan is not too sure, but these silver spots, he can confirm that they are silver.

He really lacked knowledge of geology and minerals in his previous life, but he knew that silver was rarely associated with copper, not nothing, but not much, and even fewer of them were so abundant.

So, he was now sure that the bright yellow dots on these stones were gold.

Now that Ma Hanshan is really shaking, can he not tremble? Look at the gold and silver on these stones, this... This is an extremely rich mine, you can see so much with the naked eye, and so much on the surface.

This is an open-pit gold and silver mine, an open-pit bonanza, and he actually found an open-pit gold and silver bonanza, can he not be excited?

"Young Master... Master... Why is your body shaking? Is it sick? "Ah Niu doesn't care if it's a rich mine or a poor mine here, it's in the open air or whatever, he cares about the young master.

"Nonsense, I'm not shaking, I'm not sick, quick, look for any stones." Ma Hanshan whispered.

"Young master, ask them to come over and help dig it, there must be a broken wall dug into it here." Ah Niu pointed to the earth cliff and said.

"Yes, there is great strength in numbers, call them all... No... You can't call them over, and when you go back, you can't tell anyone where you found these stones, you know? Ma Hanshan suddenly stopped Ah Niu again.

The news of the discovery of an open-pit gold and silver mine here must not be spread, and the current tile pot village is not capable of mining and protecting such a large gold and silver mine, once the news spreads, maybe it will not bring money to the tile pot village, but a catastrophe.

Whether this world is as greedy as the world in his previous life, Ma Hanshan didn't dare to bet, but he believed that human nature is greedy, no matter when people are, their desires are endless, as long as those who are insatiable know that there is wealth here that is so easy to obtain, they will never let the tile pot village have it alone. Robbing is a trivial matter, and it may not happen that they will directly destroy the tile pot village in order to completely possess it.

Thinking of this, Ma Hanshan couldn't help but shiver, this trembling was different from the trembling just now.

"Young master, why can't you let others know, they are all loyal, and they are the militia of the tile pot village." Ah Niu is difficult to understand.

"It's not that they're not loyal, it's just that the more people who know, the easier it is to leak secrets. Do you know what would happen if there was a big mineral deposit here, and then the news spread out of the mountains? Let me tell you, not only will the mine be robbed, but it is also very likely that the tile pot village will be closed by others. Don't underestimate human greed, so there's a gold and silver mine here, and now only you and I know about it. Ma Hanshan said solemnly.

"It's... It's the young master, but don't we mine? As long as we mine, won't others know about it? Ah Niu asked blankly.

Gold and silver ore is different from oil, no one in this world has recognized its value, even if the news leaks out, no one will care for the time being. Therefore, Zhang Wenwu plans to mine a small amount, and then toss out kerosene or something, and then toss some products that use kerosene.

But the gold and silver mines are not good, as long as the news leaks out, someone will come and rob it the next day. u

Therefore, the gold and silver mines are still untouchable.

"Okay, I understand, young master." Ah Niu still didn't quite understand, but he chose to listen to the young master's words.

"Well, let's see if there's anything left, get a few more, and then withdraw." Mahanshan concluded that there was an open-pit mine rich in gold and silver, so the others had no intention of exploring it.

This is going to be a place of lockdown for a while, so what else is there to investigate?

"Just go back? Don't look elsewhere? Ah Niu was very puzzled.

"Tell them that it is not early, this is the Wild Wolf Valley, and we are few of us and cannot spend the night in the valley, so we will return to the place where we camped yesterday on the other side of the mountain and spend the night. They should be back tomorrow afternoon, so they will rest tomorrow and wait for them. "Ma Hanshan is very cautious, which is the character formed by his experience in his previous life.

Undercover social brother, what a dangerous and exciting life it is, it's not easier than being a spy at all, if you're not careful, your life will be gone.

"Okay, I'll go and gather them back." Ah Niu still didn't understand it so much, but he chose to listen to the young master.

Returning to the "station" Mahan Mountain, I am more certain that the slope of the Wild Wolf Valley, which does not grow trees, is indeed a large open-pit gold and silver mine. Because, the other people also picked up a few stones containing silver and came back. Think about it, what does it mean that you can just pick up a stone that contains silver? It shows that the mountain is very shallow and very rich.

The next day, Ma Hanshan left the two of them at the "station" and took others to see the "black mud pond", and found that the pit where black oil was collected was half a pit, and it was estimated that it would be filled with this pit tomorrow, and there were about a few loads of black oil.

Although the amount is not large, for now, the large amount of gushing out is wasted.

So he commanded people to dig a big pit next to it, which was several cubic meters, and it was estimated that it would take half a month to collect it. If the black oil is collected together, the danger increases, and if there is a lightning strike one day, it will be troublesome. Therefore, Mahanshan ordered people to cut down trees to cover this big pit and cover it with earth.

Tossing until the evening to rush back to the "station" Liu Heizai hasn't arrived yet, nothing will happen, right?

I have been worried until the dark, Liu Heizai and they have not come, everyone was worried for a night, the next day, Ma Hanshan was thinking about whether to send someone back to the village to understand the situation, Liu Heizai They finally came.

It turned out that Liu Heizai asked the carpenters in the village to add lids to the barrels, so he arrived so late.

Ma Hanshan is very happy, this Liu Heizai is loyal enough, careful, and trained well, and should be a good helper in the future.

"Ah Niu, Heizai, when Mr. Qi comes back, I will ask him to hold a night class, and you all will study." It's terrible to be uneducated, and if you don't know a few people, it's useless, and Ma Hanshan wants to train them, and the first step is to make them literate.

"Huh? Young master, you don't read anymore, why do you still let us study? Didn't you say that the most useless person is a scholar? "Ah Niu thinks that the young master is now the most sick, otherwise how can he let himself go to school?

"Useless are those foolish scholars who read dead books and only know how to moan and compose poems without disease. I let you read and write because you will give you great things to do in the future. Ma Hanshan glanced at Liu Heizai and said, "The people in the village, whether they are militia or others, as long as they want to be literate, let them go to night classes." ”

"Oh, I'll ask when I get back, but I don't think many people want to go." Liu Heizai said.

"Then you can help me choose some shrewd ones and loyally force them to read them." Ma Hanshan thought for a while and said, "Tell them that in the future, the Wagang Village will implement a scoring system, and the literacy score will definitely be high, and the high score will be rewarded, and by the end of the year, if the score does not meet the basic requirements, it will be punished in the future." ”

There will be more and more people in the tile tank village, and Mahanshan has not yet figured out how to manage it better.

"Young master, the people or villagers of the Water Curtain Cave, do they want to study?" Ah Niu's brain is really easy to use, he has a different opinion from Liu Heizai, he thinks that there will be people who want to study, including those "outsiders".

"Yes, but you need to sign a contract." Ma Hanshan thought for a moment and said.

He remembered the Dai Peisheng of the world in his previous life, if the people in the Water Curtain Cave and the people from other villages wanted to go to night classes, it was okay, but the books he studied in the Wagang Village should serve the Wagang Village, and he couldn't read and go elsewhere.
