A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

In the evening, Lu Cheng and Li Kuiyong returned to Baidian Village with a basket of coal and went straight to the home of Bai Guixing, the village party secretary. "Secretary Bai, I brought you a big gift today, come and take a look."

Bai Guixing hurried forward to check it out after hearing it. After seeing that it was a basket of coal, Bai Guixing smiled and said, "Lu Cheng, you are thoughtful, but we don't lack firewood at home. You can take these coals back and use them."

"Secretary Bai, I want to give you something other than this basket of coal."

"What is that? Don't keep me in suspense, kid."

"Secretary Bai, don't be anxious. We didn't buy this basket of coal."

"If it wasn't bought, could it be picked up from the field?"

"You're right, it was picked up from the field." "I picked it up."

"You kid, are you kidding me? Then tell me where you picked it up? I will take people to pick it up tomorrow."

"Secretary Bai, don't you realize the problem? There may be a coal mine near Baidian Village!"

"What? Coal mine? Are you serious? This is not a joke."

"Of course I dare not joke about such things. This afternoon, Kui Yong and I went to the north to collect herbs and found coal in a small ravine. Then we went north along the ravine and found coal along the way. There is no one there, and few people go there. It is unlikely that someone would deliberately spread coal there.

So, I It is speculated that there may be coal mines there. After that, the two of us went north along the ravine and found more coal mines. I have read some books about mineral resources before and know the representative topographical features of coal mines.

I carefully observed the topography and landforms there, as well as the rock features on the surface, which are basically consistent with what is written in the book. It can be basically inferred that there is a coal mine there, and it should be quite large. "

"This... are you really sure?"

"Secretary Bai, I have only read some books and am not a professional. To really confirm, we still have to wait for relevant experts and technicians to come and explore. As for now , what we need to do is report this matter and ask the higher authorities to send technical personnel to investigate. "

"Yes, yes, this matter must be taken seriously. Let's put this basket of coal here first. Tomorrow morning, you and I will go to the commune and report to the commune leaders."

"No problem."

"Lu Cheng, don't tell this matter when you go back. If it is false, don't let it have any bad influence on you."

"I know."

After the arrangement, Li Kuiyong led the other educated youth to work early the next morning, while Lu Cheng went out early and came to the commune with the village party secretary.

When the commune leaders learned about this matter, they also attached great importance to it and immediately called the county to report the situation.

Soon, the county sent people directly to Hechuan Commune in a jeep to check the basket of coal ore brought by Lu Cheng, and then asked Lu Cheng to learn more about the situation.

At noon, the group had a meal in the commune cafeteria, and in the afternoon they rushed to the place where Lu Cheng said.

Because the ravine was remote and there was no access to the nearby roads, Lu Cheng took the village party secretary, the commune leaders and the county commissioner to walk to check.

After walking a long way and confirming that there were indeed scattered coal mines in the area and collecting a basket of coal blocks, everyone returned.

After returning to the commune, the county commissioner smiled and said, "Lu Cheng, you did a good job. This matter is very important. We will report it to the province after we go back. The province should send an exploration team to investigate soon. At that time, you will be needed to guide them."

"No problem."

It was not until the evening that Lu Cheng returned to the educated youth point.

Seeing Lu Cheng coming back, Li Kuiyong hurried forward to ask, and then walked out of the yard with Lu Cheng, and then asked: "Brother Cheng, what's going on? Is there really a coal mine?"

"Don't worry, the province will send an exploration team in two days, and then we can draw a conclusion. However, this matter should be almost certain."

"Then...then can we go to the mine to work as workers?"

"Look at your achievements, being a worker is not enough. Okay, keep it confidential first."

"No problem."

For the next two days, the educated youths in the educated youth point continued to work as usual. Xu Xiulan had to teach the children every day, so she didn't have to participate in labor.

Lu Cheng sometimes went to see the villagers, which allowed him to avoid some labor and be more free.

Two days later,

A jeep and a truck arrived at the entrance of Baidian Village. Then, Lu Cheng took Li Kuiyong and got on the truck together and headed north.

After arriving at a place where they found no time, Lu Cheng and Li Kuiyong each took a few people, carried various instruments, and began to explore and measure.

The exploration work could not be completed in a short time. Lu Cheng and Li Kuiyong accompanied the whole process and provided a lot of useful information.

Not only that, some exploration team members were injured in the middle, and Lu Cheng treated their injuries. He was more professional than the doctors accompanying the team and quickly won the favor of all members of the exploration team.

The exploration team of the province went down to the front line to work, and the food treatment was also quite good. Lu Cheng and Li Kuiyong also ate and lived with them.

After two or three days of exploration, the exploration team has been able to confirm that there is indeed a coal mine here, and the coal mine is quite large.

Although the total area and reserves of this coal mine cannot be explored for the time being, what has been discovered is enough to alarm higher-level leaders.

Soon, after the exploration results were reported, the Ministry of Industry issued an order to the provincial exploration bureau and mining bureau to send more exploration personnel to carry out exploration work in several surrounding counties at the same time.

In addition, the Ministry of Industry also sent a special person to Jingbian County to further understand the situation.

Coal resources are important raw materials for industrial development. From steelmaking and power generation to heating for residents, coal is indispensable.

The discovery of a large coal mine will definitely bring huge benefits to the entire China, and will make the local people rich all of a sudden.

When the news came back to Baidian Village, the whole village was boiling.

A large coal mine was discovered near the village. When recruiting coal miners in the future, they will definitely recruit from nearby villagers, and many farmers can become workers.

Although they are just coal miners who are hard, tired and dangerous, as long as they are workers, they are much better than farmers.

In this year, the farmers in the village all implemented the work point system, one work point is about 1~2 cents, the strongest man can earn at most 10 work points a day, many people can only earn 5~8 work points a day, that is, the daily income is only more than 10 cents.

Even if you do farm work for 300 days a year, a person's annual income is only 30 or 40 yuan. And these 30 or 40 yuan are hard to support yourself.

If you can become a worker, even if the income is only 10 or 20 yuan, it is more than 200 yuan a year, enough to support a family.

Moreover, the wages of workers will increase with the length of service.

In this case, who among the villagers does not want to be a worker?

Not to mention the villagers, even the educated youth now want to be workers.

However, the current exploration work has not been completed. After the exploration work is completed, planning must be carried out to choose a suitable place to mine...
