Mining gold has now become the top priority in the cave, and everyone is going crazy. The hunting team gave up hunting and sent all their manpower to protect the Women's Federation and Cao Buxiu and his party on the mountain. The manpower was already somewhat stretched.
The Women's Federation at the foot of the mountain also mobilized a large number of people, and they all participated in the gold rush, and the harvest of wild vegetables was also much smaller.
This winter, you will either have a happy life or you will be extremely miserable. Liang Chuan is like a gambler who bets all his treasure on gold!
Everyone is like crazy, they don't care whether they can really dig enough gold to buy their food later, they dig first!
But judging from the current progress, this gold is enough for them to exchange for food! Even if Cao Buxiu and the others couldn't dig out gold, the amount of gold sand they mined at the foot of the mountain after a few days was already a very considerable amount!
Cao Buxiu and others are making steady progress. The next day, the water jade he mentioned was dug up! Liang Chuan took a look and realized that the water jade Cao Buxiu mentioned was actually quartz!
Is quartz an associated mineral of gold? This Liang Chuan hasn't really learned enough yet, but Cao Buxiu said it, so let's just believe him. Anyway, if the gold can't be dug out by then, this kid will be filled in this pit with Quartz as his companion!
'How's the situation down the mountain? 'It's a pity that the three Nong brothers are not with him, otherwise Liang Chuan would have asked them to go down the mountain to inquire about the situation of the South Vietnamese!
At this time, Liang Chuan could only ask Nong Lie, who had just returned from the mountain! This kid has the vigor and cleverness of a young man without losing his poise. He is really a rare talent. It took him a long time to find this talent. How could Liang Chuan let him go!
'Another group of Nong people came back from the foot of the mountain. The South Vietnamese people are very strange. I don't see them very much recently. They all seem to have retreated!
''Returned? How do you know for sure? ''When I arrived at the foot of the mountain, I was worried that all the shops at the foot of the mountain were gone, and I didn't know where to buy cans. Who knew that the streets at the foot of the mountain were empty, and people actually started to go to the market. In addition to us Nong people, there were also some other people. The local people just can't see the South Vietnamese. This is the case all the way!
'In the last war, the South Vietnamese captured the cave where Nong Quanfu was located, and took away the father and his son. All the people in the cave were scattered. A large number of Nong people were scattered in various places, and only a small number were reunited. !
The South Vietnamese will withdraw their troops. Is their goal just Tusi Nong Quanfu, or do they have other battle plans?
No wonder they were able to take a breath recently. It turned out that there was no one under the mountain! That information is so crucial!
There is no one at the foot of the mountain, so Liang Chuan is going to let loose and have a big show! Liang Chuan first withdrew the sentry posts of the hunting team and directly pushed the hidden posts down the mountain, making the intervals longer and farther away. Then he arranged most of the people from the Women's Federation to go downstream to pan for gold. The rest, as long as they were in good health, all Come help dig for gold!
Gold mines not only require people to dig the earth, but also to erect beams inside the mine to prevent the top of the pit from collapsing. Originally, there were not enough manpower, but now it is better. As soon as Nong Lie said that there were no South Vietnamese at the bottom of the mountain, Liang Chuan immediately sent out manpower to help. Cut down trees and use the trunks to make beams for the roof of the pit!
Nearly two thousand people, except for the particularly old and sick, all participated in this huge battle!
Once the manpower is increased, the progress will make a qualitative leap! Not to mention anything else, the efficiency of moving soil has been increased by more than a hundred times!
Baskets of soil are moved out of the mine. The soil is not thrown away. There is gold in the soil!
Everyone moved the soil to the stream, put the soil in the pottery basin, and started scouring the soil over and over again!
In order to prospect for gold, Liang Chuan also specially organized this group of Nong people to build a pottery kiln! The difficulty of making pottery is tens of thousands of times lower than that of making porcelain. Pottery only requires water and mud and is fired in a kiln. The yield is much higher!
There is no need for the finished product to be exquisite, as long as these pots can hold water! Making pottery is the same as making tiles. It is easy to make. Just dig a hole, put charcoal in it and smolder!
In the most remote place of the Song Dynasty, in the most inconspicuous corner, there are barren mountains and rocks all over the ground. Even if they are harvesting grain, they can't find an acre of fertile land. In order to improve their lives, a group of ordinary people do things that ordinary people can't. Things to understand.
Mining, if this kind of thing happened in the later generations, if I heard that there was a mine in a certain place, the court would not even need to use huge manpower and material resources. As long as the people let go of their hands and privatized it, let alone a gold mountain, they could be moved for you in one night. empty!
Liang Chuan could not see any bitterness or hatred on the faces of each of them. Liang Chuan could not understand this kind of life.
The life of the Nong people is inherently a tragedy. Apart from suffering, they have almost no happiness at all. From birth, they have lived a life of slavery, with almost no hope.
Every day we are on the verge of hunger, and every family is still in abject poverty! They are like children, whoever treats them well will give their hearts to him!
What a stupid ruler. Do they need to be extremely benevolent to these people in order to gain their favor? No, no.
The rulers even only need to reduce their taxes, keep more food on hand, and distribute some agricultural tools to them so that they can have the conditions for their own production. Such trivial requests can completely change the people of these old, young, border and poor areas. Poor situation!
As long as they meet such low conditions, their lives can be improved and they can live happily. What a humble and miserable group of people!
Do they not understand this truth, or do they think that these people at the bottom are just ants? How can they listen to what ants say and how can they believe it?
When Liang Chuan saw this scene, he suddenly thought of the late Ming Dynasty. This was the last Han dynasty, an era in which Han people governed Han people.
But at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was such a dark age of cannibalism. Corruption was rampant. From top to bottom, the imperial court was full of beasts and lackeys. Taxes were as high as ox hair, and officials were as ruthless as snakes and scorpions. They did not regard the common people as human beings at all, regardless of the chaos in the world. No matter what, everyone still only cares about immediate interests. What does the world have to do with me!
It's a pity that this is a Han regime. If it doesn't even care about its own people, and still expects the Jurchens to be good to the people, isn't that a fool's errand?
Liang Chuan was even thinking that if one day he made a name for himself in this world and his butt was high, would he still remember today's emotion, and would he express a little indignation on behalf of the common people and let them live a good life for a few days? ?
Alas, what are you thinking about? My stomach is still not full! Cao Buxiu never thought that such a big scene would happen. He built a stove and a pottery kiln beside the gold mine, and even burned charcoal, sawed and felled wood, and started a series of huge projects. It seems like it was just yesterday. Yesterday this place was completely deserted, but now it has become a place full of people!
This guy is so capable! Cao Buxiu looked at Liang Chuan and thought of the 'Liang Chuan' from Qingyuan back then!
However, the man in front of me is called Di Qing. If he were in a better place, it is unknown how much he could accomplish!
Suddenly a burst of singing came from the mine, and everyone was suddenly stunned, stopped what they were doing, and listened to the song carefully.
"Guangyuan Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain, and the moonlight shines on the golden beach. Can anyone tell me, but the sky is calling for you. Cross a mountain and cross a river. Thousands of mountains and rivers will never be lonely. You come to spend the years. It is said that hundreds of years The cuckoos never wither!
Guangyuan Mountain is connected to the mountains outside the mountain, and the moonlight shines on the golden beach. Can anyone tell me, but the sky is calling you. Cross a mountain and cross a river. Thousands of mountains and rivers will never be lonely. You come to spend the years. It is said that it is hundreds of miles away. The cuckoo never withers!
'This is a very famous song in later generations, but at that time Liang Chuan still felt it was a bit rustic when he heard it, and he felt a little embarrassed to sing it in public!
But today on this occasion, Liang Chuan was also working. The fiery atmosphere of the entire mine completely infected him. He couldn't help humming the song, and the more he sang, the louder it became. Finally, he just shouted it out for everyone to listen. get!
The successive sufferings really left him without knowing which way to go, and he could only live with the days in front of him! I have to say that when I sing this song here, I suddenly feel very powerful!
A song seems to bring back people's memories! Before the war started, when the South Vietnamese did not invade the southern states and counties, how peaceful the situation was!
In those years, there was a folk song gathering during the March Festival every year. They would always gather on the mountain at the foot of the mountain, light a bonfire and form a circle together, singing folk songs happily to celebrate the harvest and wish them good luck!
How many years have passed since there was no singing from this mountain! Today this song is echoing in this mountain again. What a beautiful song!
This song is very popular, easy to understand, and catchy! Everyone just listened to Liang Chuan sing twice and immediately started singing!
'Can anyone tell me, but the sky is calling to you. . ! 'If this were normal, Liang Chuan would have jumped up and cursed his mother. He sang so loudly, not to attract the South Vietnamese, but at this time the South Vietnamese had already left, and they could really sing without any scruples!
The singing is getting louder and louder, and people's singing is getting more and more uniform. There is no one in Guangyuan who can't sing. The loud singing penetrates the white clouds and sky, and echoes in the mountains and forests for a long time!
This is because God heard their call and sent Liang Chuan down! This man saved them all, saved Guangyuan, and saved the cave. Perhaps it was retaliation. Liang Chuan's life was saved by this place. Today, he did his best to return the kindness to this land. people!
