This winter passed like this, and although people also toiled, they also stopped steadily. This group of hired laborers has already paid for a year's wages in advance, and the price is not low.

Such a long distance, such a desolate deep mountain and old forest, otherwise no one would want to come, and everyone is still at risk, and it is also appropriate to pay more wages.

It is precisely because of the lack of gold and the advance payment of wages that these talents have a stable mentality and work hard, so it is easier to manage.

Spring in the mountains came late, it was May, and the grass was just about to grow, and even the hungry horses were already skinny by this time.

There were two horses that couldn't be seen and were killed and eaten during the Chinese New Year. The horses that can survive to the beginning of spring now are in good health, but they are also strong and have not fallen.

As soon as the grass came out, Guo Jianglong led the two brothers to hurry to release the horses, and after more than ten days, the remaining horses were a little relieved and full of energy.

When the river completely melted, Jin Wuye left a few people to carry sand for him and Li Er, and he and Li Ertou stood by the river all day to sand gold.

The rest of the people still went to the place pointed out by Jin Wuye to transport sand here, although there were fewer people, but people carried horses and horses, and there was a lot of sand a day.

Guojiang Long sent Qian Dagui and the mountain monkey to look at Jin Wuye and Li Er's head left and right. Every day, the gold that comes out of the sand must be weighed, counted, and handed over to the river dragon for safekeeping.

Throughout the summer, Jin Wuye was busy leading the employees. Seeing that autumn is coming, there is not much sand left by the river, and what is worse is that the food brought by it is almost exhausted.

At this time, there was a sudden increase in gold, and Jin Wuye said that this was to find the golden vein, urging everyone to work harder.

When people saw that there was more gold, they all came to the spirit and tried desperately to pick it. But as time passed, that momentum slowly faded, and the phenomenon of grinding and laziness became more and more.

After all, no matter how much gold is mined, the hired workers will not be able to make it, saying that it will add some extra wages, but that is only a matter of the future, and the hired workers do not approve of it.

In particular, in order to save food, the food is also rationed, and the strength of the hired workers is even less sufficient, and even if there is a mountain of gold in this way, there is not much to dig up.

For several nights in a row, Guo Jianglong couldn't sleep, he was a little worried about the slacking off of the employees in front of him, and tried his best to think of countermeasures, trying to mobilize people's enthusiasm again.

Guo Jianglong was afraid that he would affect Qian Dagui and the mountain monkeys over and over again, and he was worried about those thin horses, so he went to the place where the horses were fed, and while watching the horses graze, he was thinking about his thoughts.

The night in the mountains is already very cold, the half moon passes through the faint clouds, and tomorrow may be a good autumn weather, but the river dragon is not happy.

At this moment, Guo Jianglong saw that the door of the house where Jin Wuye and Li Er lived quietly opened, and a figure flashed out, looked left and right, and trotted to the hillside behind.

It was Li Er's head, it seemed that he was quite familiar with the road, and he didn't stop in the night, and ran straight up the hillside, it was estimated that this was not the first time he came out in the middle of the night.

Guo Jianglong stared at Li Er's head with his eyes, and slowly stood up, he wanted to follow up to see what Li Ertou was going to do in the middle of the night.

But Guo Jianglong finally didn't move, and slowly squatted down again, looking at the direction where Li Er's head went. He knew that in the dead of night, he might be found if he followed.

After waiting for half an hour, Li Er turned his head back in a hurry, dodged into the house, and quietly. Only then did Guo Jianglong get up, return to his room, and lie down to sleep.

The next day, Guo Jianglong did not make a noise, silently went to the construction site to observe for a day, and when he came back, he took a detailed look at the grain in the warehouse.

Guo Jianglong judged that Li Er's head must have gone to hide gold. Gold is small, does not take up space, and can easily be hidden under people's noses.

I can't look at it, let alone a gold mining veteran like Li Ertou, who wants to prevent him from hiding it, unless he strips him naked and searches him every day, but he can't do it.

The key is that Jin Wuye knows about this matter, and whether he is also involved, it is difficult to say.

Man dies for money, and birds die for food. Guo Jianglong decided not to ask about this matter for the time being, he had to think of other more secure methods.

After dinner in the evening, Guo Jianglong came to the house where Jin Wuye and Li Ertou lived. When they arrived, they built three houses, and they lived separately.

Guojianglong lived with Qian Dagui and the mountain monkeys, and the rest of the space was used as a storehouse, and the food and tools brought were kept there.

Jin Wuye lives with Li Ertou, and cooks outside. The rest of the house was occupied by hired workers, and a dozen people were huddled together.

"Is there something wrong with Lord Liangtai?" Jin Wuye saw Jiang Long coming, and hurriedly got up to give up his seat, which was actually the bed they were living in.

"I want to come to the logarithm of the two of us, it's late autumn, and the gopher digging is about to get up and go home."

Guo Jianglong sat down as he spoke, and Jin Wuye hurriedly took out the account he had recorded, of course he did not hand it to Guo Jianglong, but looked at the number by himself.

"Alright then, let's get together. I don't think it's any worse, it's logarithm every day. You see, this is my account. ”

Jin Wuye's accounts are really detailed, the accounts are clear, and Guo Jianglong doesn't look at them carefully, and he can't see them clearly in this dim light.

"The big number is really right, this time we have gained a lot, and we have taken it. Oh, by the way, I still have something I want to discuss with Jin Wuye.

I don't think there's much sand left, and the food is almost gone, so let's finish the rest of the work and go back together. ”

Guo Jianglong sat up straight and looked at Jin Wuye, wanting to see how Jin Wuye reacted. And Jin Wuye also hurriedly answered Jiang Long's words, but he didn't agree to go back now.

"Let's do it for a few more days, I just found a thick place, and I didn't see how much gold is coming out these days! We can't afford to lose our chance. ”

"I want those hired people to work for ten or twenty days by themselves, even if they are paid more, I don't know what Jin Wuye wants?"

"That's not going to work! We have been paid when we came, so you can add some more. Now is the good time, the fat can't be eaten by them, but they can't be too cheap. ”

Jin Wuye hadn't spoken yet, and Li Er shook his head vigorously and said no. But Guo Jianglong did not give up his ideas, and he was still kind and enlightened.

"Don't you see that those people don't want to do it? When the gold came out, my eyes were red, and I was afraid that they would make trouble. Only in this way is the best way, and they can work hard. ”

"Absolutely not, whoever makes trouble will kill him! From tomorrow onwards, let people watch them, and beat him if he doesn't do a good job, and I won't believe in treating them honestly. ”
