Chapter 293: Exploration

As a shareholder, Ouyang Feng, who was really a bit of a scoundrel, followed with a shy face, standing aside with his arms in his arms, and listened to what arrangements Gail had made. Gail and Yaheng naturally didn't hide anything about these things, pulled Ouyang Feng to sit down, and listened to Roderick's report together.

Roderick is not stupid, although he still doesn't know what the spar mine has to do with Ouyang Feng, but from Gail and Yaheng's attitude towards Ouyang Feng, he knows that what he is going to say next does not care whether Ouyang Feng hears it or not.

Roderick first saluted Gail and Yaheng, found a chair and sat down, and said, "Lord of the city, I was notified yesterday that I gathered seventy-eight miners overnight, these people are all from Ula City, with innocent backgrounds, and they are definitely not spies of other forces. These people don't know what they are doing here, so I first gave them a sum of money to settle their families, and told them that they might not be able to go home for a long time, and as for the specific salary, I tentatively set it at two gold coins per person per month, and three gold coins per month for those who are experienced and skilled people. ”

Hearing what Roderick said about the standard of wages, Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes, feeling that this Roderick was too picky, people worked hard to help you mine, and it took so much money to give you a month, and even those who watched the gate under Zhan Tianhu earned more than them.

Gail found Ouyang Feng's expression, laughed and said: "Good roots, you can't blame Roderick for being stingy, this is the market, this is the rule, we can afford to pay more workers, but if we habitually keep doing this, then after a long time, the wages of the workers used will have to rise." And wages have gone up. The cost of the goods produced by the workers also increased. The price of commodities will also go up, and in that case, the poor will not be able to afford rice, they will not be able to afford food, and it will be more and more difficult for them, which is not what we want to see, so it is necessary to keep the price of the market stable. Ouyang Feng suddenly realized, he used to think that Gail and they were slamming the door, but now he only knew when he heard it. It wasn't as simple as he thought, and there were many things he had never considered before.

Ouyang Feng smiled apologetically and said, "So that's the case, I've been taught, by the way, the high salary of the Qingyuan Guild won't have any impact on the market, right? ”

Gail shook his head and said, "It's okay, the high wages of the Qingyuan Guild are only your internal affairs, and the prices of the goods sold by the guild are only lower than those in the same industry, so it will not have an impact on society." Ouyang Feng nodded, and finally felt relieved.

Yaheng asked Roderick, "Have you informed Alan and Anna?" Roderick nodded and said, "I used the teleportation array to notify me after I received the news last night, and the two of them have already taken people to set off early this morning." I believe that tonight, tomorrow morning at the latest. ”

Yaheng nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at the construction site of the earth furnace and said: "We don't plan to let these craftsmen know about the spar mine, but after a while, you will give an order, let everyone who knows the truth speak carefully, and the rest of the people will go together to help, let's do our best to complete the earth furnace, and then concentrate on opening the mine." By the way, you find a few miners who know how to prospect, and in a while we will go to see the scale of the spar mine, and then determine the next thing, so that you can have roots, and you will also go with us in a while. ”

Ouyang Feng nodded without hesitation and agreed, "Okay, I'm also curious." Roderick reported to Gale what had happened in the city of Ulla for the past two days, and then got up and walked over to a kind of guard and craftsman.

Ouyang Feng said to Roderick: "That kid from Adonis is also there, just over there to help, come and sit down if you have time when you're done." Roderick was stunned when he heard this, and looked back in the direction Ouyang Feng was pointing, between which Adonis and Elena were giggling and laughing, while turning their big swords to clean up the solidified magma on the ground.

Seeing this, Roderick frowned secretly, and was a little unhappy that Ouyang Feng let his son do this kind of work, but when he saw that Qingfeng, Zhan Tianhu, Pei Di and Barlow were also plowing the ground there one by one, his heart was balanced, but this made Roderick even more puzzled.

Roderick's work efficiency was very fast, and after a while, a large group of miners joined in a team, they did not know much about construction, but they had the strength and a certain experience in dealing with hard rock, with their participation, the work of leveling the ground was faster.

As for the hundred or so guards, they are basically Gael's personal guards, whether it is Gael, the city lord, or Roderick, the chief steward, or the captain of the guard, they all trust these people, but, for better secrecy, Roderick did not tell these guards about the spar mine, but asked them to help do some hard work first, and speed up the construction as much as possible.

Although the guards did not know why the chief steward let these guards do the work that coolies could do, they did not ask much questions, and with some confusion and reluctance, they took off their beloved armor, put away their weapons, and revealed their sturdy bodies, and also divided into small teams, interspersed between craftsmen and miners, according to the instructions of the captain of the guard, supervised both sides, and forbade any conversation except work.

Ouyang Feng moved around the construction site for a while, not yet, Gail's guard captain came over and respectfully invited Ouyang Feng to come over, Ouyang Feng looked up at Gale and the others who were ready to go, smiled slightly, signaled the guard captain to go first, and he would arrive immediately, and then said to Qingfeng beside him: "I'll follow over and see, you and them stay, if there is anything, I will send a message to you as soon as possible." Qingfeng nodded.

Ouyang Feng was a little uneasy, worried that Gail and they would really meet Cai Qiqi to kill people, glanced at everyone's guards and instructed Qingfeng to say: "Be careful yourself, if you find something wrong, leave and evacuate, don't worry about me for the time being." Qingfeng glanced at Ouyang Feng worriedly, nodded and did not speak. Ouyang Feng put on his coat, and under the guidance of the captain of the guard, he rode his horse to meet Gael, Yaheng, Roderick and a team of guards, five or six elderly miners, and under the puzzled eyes of everyone, he went straight to the location of the spar mine.

On the way, Gail kindly and gently told several miners about the spar mine, and when he heard that the spar mine had been discovered, both the miners and the guards who had just learned about it were shocked, and then ecstatic.

The guards are happy that with their own spar mine, they should be able to get more spars to cultivate every year in the future, and the miners' surprise is that they finally have the opportunity to dig and mine precious spars by hand, which is the dream of these miners who are not very good.

After saying nothing all the way, the group came to the cave, Angelo came out of it, and said with some complaints: "Why are you so slow, I can't wait." ”

Gail said angrily: "It's not so easy to gather people, it's only been one night, you can't wait, it seems that your concentration is getting worse and worse, haha." ”

In fact, not only Angelo, but even Gail and Yaheng are also anxious, eager to start mining now, and dig out all the spars in it at once, after all, it is very risky to find that the spar mine is still zĂ i, and if you don't get it right, it will be like the spar mine in the disorderly mountains, you will earn a lot, and the blood will flow like a river, and the longer the time drags on, the greater the possibility of news leaking, Gael They don't want to work in vain, and end up making a wedding dress for others.

Without further ado, under the advice of the old miners, five guards were left to guard the entrance of the cave, while the others circled around the mountain where the cave was located, determined the direction of the mountain and the veins of the rocks, and then returned to the entrance of the cave.

Several old miners gathered together to discuss, and divided into two groups, one of which was followed by the captain of the guard and Gail, and went up the mountain from the mouth of the cave to investigate, while the rest entered the cave and inspected the place where the hedron was found.

The two old miners who looked at the cave were very experienced, and they did not rush up to check it after seeing the spar on the top of the cave at first glance, but carefully observed the rock on the top of the cave, and went down little by little according to its veins, and finally, the two took out small hammers, carefully knocked on the determined place, and then nodded as if to verify their guess.

One of the long-bearded miners said to Ya Heng embarrassedly: "Lord of the city, we didn't expect this to be the case here, some of the tools for opening the mountain have not been brought over, do you think it is troublesome for the guards to help take it?"

Yaheng nodded politely and said, "Of course this is no problem, what tools do you all need?"

The bearded old man thought for a moment and said, "Two heavy pickaxes, two sledgehammers and a set of steel drills of different sizes, and two small shovels." ”

Yaheng asked in surprise, "These are enough?"

The bearded old man nodded and said, "Now it's just exploration and determining the scale of the vein, and you don't need too many tools." ”

Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Since this is the case, then you don't need to go back to get the tools, you say, dig there, I'll help you." As he spoke, he released a flying sword and hovered around him.

The two old miners were overjoyed when they heard this, the rocks here were extremely hard, even if they brought the right tools, they would have to dig for a while, and the vibrations caused by the concussion and percussion might also be dangerous, if Ouyang Feng, a cultivator, helped, cutting the rocks with a sharp flying sword would save a lot of trouble, and it would be safer.

The bearded old man was not polite, and drew a circle with a diameter of half a meter on the rock wall with a small hammer and said, "Just here, just dig two meters deep." ”

Ouyang Feng didn't hesitate, he stabbed the flying sword into the rock with his hand, and then poured spiritual power into the flying sword, circled it fiercely, and lightly dug out a conical rock a foot long. Throwing the dug rock on the ground, Ouyang Feng continued to dig to the force, and the two-meter-old miner squatted on the ground and raised a small hammer to knock and hit the rock like a dung shell, and smashed it into pieces in a few clicks.
