The ore soil from the mine was carried out basket by basket by manpower, and then picked up by people outside in clay pots. The clay pots were filled with soil and carried to the stream to start panning for gold.
There was no problem with this at first, but then people from the Downstream Women's Federation came up to talk about the problem.
Too much soil was dumped into the stream. Not only did the stream immediately become turbid downstream, but a large amount of new sediment was also deposited into the river bed!
Only then did Liang Chuan realize the seriousness of this problem.
The new mud and sand are sand that has been panned once, so the gold content in it will naturally not be high. If it is poured downstream, it will only increase the workload of the downstream and reduce the gold extraction rate of gold panning!
But it’s a pity that these things are not available!
Finally, Cao Buxiu said a few words. Although there is gold in these soils, there is definitely not much!
The real gold vein has not been found yet, it is real gold visible to the naked eye!
Only when you really find a gold vein, you can't give up any basket of soil at that time, because the gold content in it may be an astonishing amount.
What Cao Buxiu said makes sense.
If the upper reaches get gold and the lower reaches are exhausted, it is better not to dry up the upper reaches, so that the river can still be used for one's own use! Otherwise, if this large amount of mineral soil is poured into the river, the river will be completely filled in a few days!
Ever since Liang Chuan sang that song, it has quickly spread among people like a virus!
Folks are also good at singing. There is no ethnic group in the entire Southwest who doesn’t like folk songs! Liang Chuan's songs are very powerful and catchy, and many people learned them immediately!
Everyone didn't expect that Liang Chuan had this skill and the songs he sang were not bad!
They always thought that Liang Chuan was tall and thick, so he should be a rough old man. Girls usually sing best, but today Liang Chuan broke this convention. He sang better and more pleasant songs than anyone else before!
Liang Chuan sings popular songs, which are popular, so the popularity will naturally not be low!
As soon as everyone started working, they would hum this song unconsciously. After listening to it for a long time, there were still people singing it non-stop. Only then did Liang Chuan feel that sometimes it is not good for these people to enjoy advanced art in advance. A good thing, none of them are bothered!
Liang Chuan wanted to come up with more songs, but he was afraid. He was always worried about the time traveler hiding in the dark!
If he starts singing, this thing will spread as fast as a virus! Soon everyone in the world will know, and the other party will definitely guess that there is another time traveler hiding in Guangyuan Prefecture!
This is what Liang Chuan doesn't want to see!
Ah Yue also heard distant singing in the cave. The song was also very nice, but she preferred what Liang Chuan sang to her before. .
But it’s true that these people have been singing all day long, why can’t they stop singing!
Huh! Why did this song stop suddenly!
Ah Yue is still wondering. Fortunately, she can't hear this song anymore. She can sing it!
At the mine.
Everyone held their breath! Terriers with long necks are all staring at the pit!
'I dug it, I dug it! '
The first cheers were a little stagnant, but the voices of the people behind were louder, one wave after another, and they were even more excited than when they sang folk songs!
'We struck gold! '
A piece of old gold as big as a goose egg, there is still a lot of dust and impurities on it, but the whole piece has not been cleaned yet, it has already shown its quality, a very good piece of nugget gold!
In placer gold mines, most of them are small gold grains, while large gold grains are called nugget gold, and they also have different names: "The big ones are called nugget gold, and the medium ones are called bran wheat and bran gold." This is what Song Yingxing said. There is an introduction in Tiangong Kaiwu!
"Those who dig wells in flat land are famous for placer gold, and the big ones are famous for bean-grain gold." Dog-head gold is relatively rare. It is basically produced in alluvial placer gold deposits, and some is produced in secondary enrichment zones near the surface.
Cao Buxiu trembled with excitement. He wanted to feel the texture of this piece of natural gold with his hands, but he didn't dare to make any mistake.
Finding this gold nugget proves that there is definitely a large mineral vein in this area! He has been an earth master for decades and finally proved his ability with this gold mine!
'There should be a lot of gold mines down there! Don't worry, my king. The discovery of nugget gold means that the nearby mineral veins are not far away! '
Everyone looked at this piece of gold and swallowed hard, their eyes wide open!
In their lives, no, in several lives, no one has seen such an eye-catching thing!
'Oh my god, Di Qing, there is so much gold in our land. It's a waste of time to live in vain. We don't even farm. What if? If I had taken a hoe and dug into this land a few times, I might have made a fortune long ago! '
Lao Mazi took the gold from Liang Chuan and joked a few times, making everyone laugh.
'If only it were so easy. Then every household in the Central Plains of the Song Dynasty was not a farmer. It was possible to dig out some dung. How could gold be so easy? '
The crowd burst into laughter again!
'Now what shall we do with this gold! '
Everyone looked at Liang Chuan eagerly, waiting for him to make up his mind!
'First bring the scale, find a scale, and weigh the weight of this piece of gold! '
'Di Qing doesn't have a scale! '
After asking everyone around, no one has a scale. We are almost too full to eat. Who wants to carry a scale around?
'Nonglie, please go down the mountain again and help me find a scale! '
Nong Lie didn't push back and went down the mountain immediately.
How much does this nugget of gold weigh? Everyone is here to bear witness immediately! Otherwise, if you leave here, you will be one or two short, and someone will come to make trouble for you!
Nong Lie went down the mountain like flying, and he was equally excited. Liang Chuan bought the scale just to know the weight of the gold. When he got down the mountain, Nong Lie realized that he had forgotten to bring the money!
The money to buy the jar last time was given to him by Liang Chuan. He didn't have a penny on him. This time he left in a hurry. .
But he was too embarrassed to talk to Liang Chuan!
What should I do? I can’t go back to the mountain to find Liang Chuan to get money? In desperation, Nong Lie took off the fine clothes he had received from Cao Buxiu, took them to the store, and exchanged them with the store owner for a scale!
Cao Buxiu's clothes are made of silk! There were still many people in the cave who knew the goods. Some of them took money and some wanted to exchange meat with Nong Lie, but he refused!
This may be the only opportunity for him to wear this kind of good leather in his life. He can eat meat every day, but there is nothing special about it!
However, Liang Chuan valued him and asked him to go down the mountain to buy a scale. He didn't want to lose his reputation in front of Liang Chuan, so he decisively took off his silk coat!
The scale seller was a rice vendor. Seeing that Nong Lie had no money, I originally wanted to drive him away. How in the world can any businessman sell scales? How can he do business after selling out the scales?
As a result, Nonglie took out the silk dress, and the dealer was immediately dumbfounded. This thing is a good thing! It was a big advantage to trade him a scale. It was his turn and he was a little embarrassed. Seeing this, Nong Lie gave him his clothes, so he picked up the scale and ran up the mountain naked!
When Nong Lie returned to the mine, everyone was startled by him at first. Seeing Nong Lie naked, everyone's first reaction was that they had encountered an enemy!
'Did you meet the South Vietnamese at the foot of the mountain? Where are your clothes? '
Nonglie scratched his head in embarrassment and told the whole story with a smile!
When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief. Liang Chuan took some money from himself and gave it to Nonglie and said, "Use this money to buy some clothes. I can't bear it in the cold weather!" '
Nong Lie wanted to refuse, but he felt hot after running all the way. After he cooled down in the mountains, his nose immediately started flowing!
'Then me. . Just take it! '
Liang Chuan thought that this young man was very good. If there was a chance in the future, he would definitely take him with him. Such a person is kind and righteous!
'Now let's see how heavy this piece of gold is! '
Liang Chuan didn't know how to use a scale, so he handed the scale to Uncle Bi Mao. Uncle Bi Mao took the scale and put the gold nugget on the scale pan.
???????????????Everyone's breath was held instantly!
I saw the piece of gold nugget put on the scale, and the scale pole was lifted up. Old Bi Mao quickly moved the scale back and forth, but the scale pole still kept running up. Everyone looked at it with anxious eyes and hot eyes. Old Nose Hair even kept squealing!
'One hundred and twelve taels! '
One pound is sixteen taels!
Liang Chuan calculated in his mind that this piece of gold actually weighed seven kilograms!
Damn it, it weighs seven pounds!
Everyone looked in disbelief that such a large piece of gold was right under their feet!
When Cao Buxiu heard this number, he straightened up on the spot. Tears flowed down on the spot. With this piece of gold, his life should be saved! Now he can finally prove his worth!
The song Liang Chuan sang rang out again on the mountain!
Guangyuan Mountain Guangyuan Mountain is connected to Shanwai Mountain, and the moonlight shines on the Golden Beach
Can anyone tell me, but the sky is calling you
A mountain crosses a river, thousands of mountains and rivers will never make you lonely
It is said that you have come to celebrate the New Year, and the cuckoos will never wither for a hundred miles!
With this piece of gold, the current dilemma finally has a breakthrough!
He called Lao Mazi and all the old men from the hunting team together. Everyone gathered around a rock, and the gold nugget was placed on this rock!
'Everyone knows that this gold is a treasure given to us by the mountain god Guangyuan to save the lives of all of us in the mountain. The food in our cave has been eaten up. If no more food comes in, many old people and children will starve to death! '
Liang Chuan looked at everyone and said seriously.
After listening to Liang Chuan's words, everyone was very greedy for gold, but they also understood the truth. Although this piece of gold is very big and heavy, if it is distributed to everyone, they will not get much money at all. Even if they have it, they dare to give it to everyone. Do you have gold hidden in your body? If you step out of this mountain, people may rob it wherever you go!
They knew Liang Chuan's plan, which was to exchange this piece of gold for food, but the key was how to exchange it, who would exchange it, and where to exchange it. This was a very troublesome issue!
Before Liang Chuan could say anything, the hunting team's sentry suddenly rushed up the mountain, hurriedly ran to Liang Chuan, and stood blankly in front of everyone.
'What happened! ' Lao Mazi asked anxiously!
