Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 1265 : Chapter 494 Gold Rush

"Master Shaobao, Lord Wandai!"

At the beginning of May, Zhang Shouren also put aside everything at hand and rushed to the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine on a light horse.

Now Fushan is recruiting a large number of miners here, the number has increased from a few hundred at the beginning to 4000 now, and the mine veins that have resumed excavation range from one to more than ten places in Jinchi Ridge, and each mine has hundreds of miners .

The number of ores dug out is not a lot, and the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine has a high gold content and is very easy to mine. In the late Qing Dynasty, when China was making the country rich and powerful, Zhaoyuan Gold Mine was the first place where Beiyang made an idea. Mining, buying foreign Machine, under a lot of effort.

Now there is no place for mining machines, even the West is very backward in the mining industry at this time, and it will be a long time before steam engines are used for mining. [

Fortunately, manpower is not exhausted, as long as there are brothers and sisters, we are not afraid that the mine will be less.

Zhaoyuan is already under the control of Fushan. When Li Zhuoran came again, he brought the inner guards and people from the Secret Service. The Mining Bureau also set up its own security team. The number of troops exceeded a thousand, and Zhaoyuan City was also stationed halfway. A battalion of new troops, thousands of troops stationed here, as well as the gentry families from Zhaoyuan and Laizhou who were killed by the secret service before... It is clear at a glance who has the biggest fist.

When Zhang Shouren first came over, Li Zhuoran and people from Fushan's military system saluted first, then the officials from Zhaoyuan, and then the miners who knelt down and called him Lord Wandai.

"Zhaoran, you have worked hard."

"Everyone has worked hard."

"Don't kneel down, get up and talk, I have one nostril and two eyes just like everyone else, nothing to be afraid of."

A while ago, the people from the Secret Service killed people too hard, which made people in Zhaoyuan panic. Now when they saw Zhang Shouren, many people still trembled in fear.

After a few words, everyone looked up and stood up, and their fear was much less.

"How much ore is produced in a day?"

"The ore that can be dug out here in Jinchi Ridge is [-] to [-] catties a day. The mine is large, and there are many people who go down, and there are many people who take turns. The food is good, and the people are energetic, but the output is at most so large. Among them, about [-]% are capable of spreading gold, and [-]% are waste rocks, at most some copper or tin is inside, which is not easy to remove, which is equivalent to waste.”

"So far, how much pure gold has been produced from this mine?"

"Not much, only a few hundred taels are sifted out every day, and it needs to be sown continuously for ten days to get pure gold red sand and broken gold grains slowly. If you want pure gold, you don't need more than 3000 taels a month."

"No wonder they saved so little for half a year."

"My lord, it's already quite a lot."

Li Zhuoran's characteristic is straightforwardness and sincerity, when he heard him speak out against Zhang Shouren, all the Zhaoyuan officials around were frightened to death, thinking that General Li might be going crazy.

But Zhang Shouren didn't say anything. After he laughed, he went around to watch the situation in the mine.

One mine costs 8000 taels a month, and it is still the largest mine. The sum of all veins does not exceed [-] taels a month, and [-] taels a month is exchanged for silver.

This figure is an unimaginable huge amount of wealth to many people, but to Zhang Shouren, killing hundreds of people and causing such a big commotion, the garrison sent thousands of people here, how much did Zhaoyuan and Laizhou go up and down? Hands and feet, Dengzhou alone mobilized a great deal of force, because of this matter, I was scolded by my mentor, Liu Junmen, in a letter. Although Liu Jingyao helped him eradicate many silverfish in the Dengzhou camp, the starting point was to To rectify the army, Zhang Shouren did not say hello in advance, but acted suddenly, there must be something tricky in it, Liu Jingyao couldn't investigate thoroughly, but he couldn't get rid of his depression, and wrote a whole dozen pages of eight lines. Zhang Shouren suffered a lot because of this matter. Small.
