On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Yuanbao Town.
A strong man wearing a sheepskin coat and a dog-skin hat on his head was standing on the carriage and shouting loudly.
"Hi! Hi! Hi!"
“If you want to make a fortune, come to Jingou!”
"Hi! Hi! Hi!"
“If you want to make a fortune, come to Jingou!”
“We have plenty of gold in Lao Jingou, it’s up to you whether you can pick it or not!”
After a while, a circle of people surrounded the strong man, asking relevant questions.
"How can there be such a good thing in the world? Are you afraid that you are not lying?"
The strong man smiled slightly and said calmly: "Brother, I'm not lying. We have nothing in Laojingou, but there is a lot of gold everywhere. As long as you go there, you can make a fortune!"
"real or fake?"
"Can such a good thing exist in the world?"
"Brother, if I go to work for you, do you have to pay for your food?"
"Where is Lao Jingou?"
"Can I do part-time work? I will come back after a few months of work, and I still need to plant the land at home!"
Although the strong man claimed that everything was true, the people at the scene were not that easy to fool, and they still asked questions that they were concerned about.
Seeing that the scene was getting more and more chaotic, the strong man lowered his hands slightly to signal everyone to be quiet.
"Brothers, come one by one."
"Come on, come on, come on, brother, you just asked me whether you want to eat, right? Let me answer you now, not only do you care about eating, but you also have white flour buns for three meals a day, for you to eat with open stomach!"
As soon as I heard that there were white-flour steamed buns available for every meal, the scene immediately exploded.
In this day and age, who would dare to do this?
Landlords and wealthy people are afraid!
In an instant, many people made some changes. Most of these people came from Guandong. Before they came to Guandong, they only thought about Guandong and how good it was.
There is fertile land here, there is endless game here, and there is endless fish here.
However, when they actually arrived here, they found that the legendary Kanto was not as good as they imagined.
The land here also has to be bought with money. It doesn't matter who owns it. There are also a lot of people here. It's not that easy to find a living.
What's more, most of the people who come to Guandong are bringing their families with them, the old ones and the small ones. Even if there are people recruiting workers, the old ones and the small ones are probably not wanted by anyone. And it is very difficult for one person to work alone to feed a family.
Therefore, even though this group of people know that gold mining is a very dangerous job, they do not mind trying their luck in the gold mines in order to obtain high rewards.
After all, I've even broken through Kanto, so why not break into the gold mines again.
"By the way, there's you. Don't look at it. It's you. You just asked about hiring part-time workers, right? We, Lao Jingou, can come and go freely. We work for a day and get paid. When will you no longer want to work? Just tell the mine manager in advance, it won't affect your family's farmland."
"And you, you just asked where Lao Jingou is. I think you are really ignorant. My brother will kindly tell you today that Lao Jingou is the largest gold mine in the Northeast and the Qing Dynasty. It is located in the corner of Mohe. Five hundred miles from here."
When the people at the scene heard that it was five hundred miles away, they immediately started talking.
"What? Five hundred miles of land? Even if it's not a dead person!"
"Yes, brother, the weather in the Northeast can be freezing to death. Walking five hundred miles in this kind of weather would be quite chilling for me."
…
…
"What are you arguing about!"
When the strong man heard everyone's complaints, his face immediately turned serious and he said with a dark face.
"What's wrong with Yuan?"
"You want to be close? You want a lot of money? You want an easy life? Why don't you think about it, where in the world is there such an easy place to make money?"
"It's a bit far to go to our gold mine. Let's go on the road together. Are you still afraid of freezing to death?"
The strong man spoke very strategically. He did not blindly satisfy everyone's requirements. If he really described Laojingou as being like a 'paradise', the people present would probably not believe it even more.
There are advantages and disadvantages, but it makes it easier to win the trust of others.
After spraying the person who wanted to spray, the strong man pointed at the table next to him.
"Has anyone signed up? Hurry up, the recruitment quota is limited. If you want to go, hurry up and register nearby!"
On the other side, Li Jie and Zhu Kaishan stood outside the crowd, observing the recruitment scene and communicating in low voices.
"Should we sign up now, or should we wait and see?"
Zhu Kaishan pondered for a moment: "Wait a little longer. I'll find an opportunity to inquire about the situation in the mine later."
Li Jie pretended to be confused and said, "What are you asking about? Didn't Fourth Uncle He tell you?"
"Hey, this is what I'm worried about too."
Zhu Kaishan sighed and explained.
"Before, He Laosi and I made an agreement to contact him once a month. Counting the time, his letter should arrive after the New Year. But half a month has passed and no letter has been sent back from him. I'm afraid that he will Something unexpected happened."
Li Jie nodded slightly. Although he knew that He Laosi had had an accident at this time, he could not tell Zhu Kaishan.
Without a source of information, you can’t say you calculated it, right?
Therefore, he had no choice but to remind him indirectly.
"But there are many trees on the mountain top of the mine. If you go up and ask like this, aren't you afraid of alerting the enemy?"
Zhu Kaishan looked startled when he heard this. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
If he cares, he will be confused!
However, He Laosi has a close relationship with him. The two have a life-long friendship. Although rushing forward to ask for information about He Laosi may bring risks, he wants to know He Laosi more than taking risks. news.
Li Jie saw the look on Zhu Kaishan's face and immediately understood that 'Captain Li' probably still couldn't change his mind.
"How about this? I'm young and can't easily arouse the other person's vigilance. I'd better go and ask?"
Zhu Kaishan glanced at Li Jie and thought to himself.
Based on the boss's recent performance, it doesn't seem impossible for him to ask?
After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Kaishan nodded silently.
"That's fine."
"But be careful, you will be like this and so and so later."
Although Zhu Kaishan agreed, he was still a little worried. After giving careful instructions, he patted Li Jie on the shoulder and said.
"Go ahead and do what I said."
"Yes, I understand." Li Jie replied with a smile, and then pointed to the recruitment location: "Then I'll go."
"Go ahead."
Looking at the leaving figure of his eldest son, Zhu Kaishan couldn't help but sigh.
After all, I couldn't defeat the boss.
In the end, he agreed to let the boss accompany him to the gold mine.
But this time, the future is uncertain, and they don't know how many hardships are waiting for them.
If something happens to He Laosi, there will inevitably be a fight at the mine. When the time comes, I wonder if the boss can adapt?
