Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Zhao Yong spoke first: "My idea is very simple. What is the most profitable thing now? Of course, mining. Everything else is just a small thing. Manufacturing is at most the icing on the cake. Minerals are the real resources. The islands over there are full of rubber, gold mines, and rice fields that can be harvested three times a year. This is a very good place. With the Gan family's mass base in the local area, plus our military quality, isn't it easy to take over a few islands?"

Chen Ziguang groaned in silence: "Zhennan Mine is too close to the border. The advantage is that Luo Xingxing dare not use force casually, but the disadvantage is also obvious. We can't vigorously develop our strength at all. Luo Xingxing alone is suppressing us and we can't breathe. Look at our equipment, all of which are weapons from the World War II period. More importantly, the Xiangyun Gold Mine is about to be exhausted. At most, there is one year's production. By then, thousands of miners from the country will be dismissed."

Liu Xialian arranged: "No, after the Xiangyun gold mine is mined, it will be reclaimed and covered with soil, and converted into thousands of acres of farmland to grow bananas. Geese will be raised under the banana trees, and some people will be left to manage it. Dozens of villages around will all be arranged for breeding and planting. We need a stable supply of goods, and their miners will come to mine the gold in the Zhennan Mine. The gold in the Zhennan Mine is in the mountain, and it is difficult to mine, but the quantity is large, and it will not be mined out in the short term."

Xiangyun Gold Mine has mined a total of 16 tons of gold so far. After deducting the various expenses such as labor, equipment, and distribution to shareholders, Liu Xialian can only get no more than 6 tons of gold, which is far from the huge profits she imagined. Zhennan Mine mainly produces a large amount of jadeite and a long development cycle. As for gold, it is estimated to be only 10 to 20 tons, and the cost of underground mining will increase.

Li Dabiao touched his crew cut and said, "We'll be done with it. With only 50,000 or 60,000 troops, we'll be done in two or three years."

"Okay, since everyone agrees, I will talk to Gan Yongfu and ask him to pay us ten tons of gold in the early stages so that we can do some preliminary preparations first."

Chen Ziguang opened his mouth in surprise: "Boss, you are right, right? You want him to pay ten tons of gold first?"

"That's right. You should not use human wave tactics in modern warfare in the future. Those Nanyang soldiers are not a concern, but what about the imperial powers? What if they send out aircraft carrier fleets to interfere with us? We can't use howitzers to attack warships, right? First, we need to build a heavy automobile factory that can produce tanks and armored vehicles. We also need shipyards to manufacture ocean-going ships. Even if we can't build warships, we must be able to build cargo ships. This is a huge matter, not a game. Let alone ten tons of gold, even a hundred tons may not be enough. There is another problem, that is, there are too few talents. We need a large number of talents, talents that we can trust."

Chen Ziguang nodded: "As long as there is money to earn talent, it is not a problem. The most important thing is that we have helped this kid to conquer the family business. What if he doesn't acknowledge it later?"

Liu Xia Lian looked at her watch. It was getting late. "That's all for today. This matter is top secret. Anyone who leaks it will die. I'll keep it to myself. Just follow the instructions. I'll go back tomorrow. I'm going to give Luo Xingxing a warning today."

Liu Xia Lian left, leaving everyone in the office drinking tea.

Li Dabiao laughed and said, "Military Advisor Chen, are you stupid? Who is our boss? Do you think he will fight for Gan Yongfu to conquer the territory? Once we conquer it, it will be ours. There are two possible outcomes. With the support of the country, our boss is expanding the territory and will be a big shot in the future. If this is done privately, we will also benefit from it. However, this is a huge matter. If we want to succeed, we will need at least 30,000 to 20,000 elite soldiers to stabilize the situation. However, this requires great generals. Where can our boss find such talents?"

Zhao Yong shook his head: "You know shit. There is no such thing as a natural talent. Zhu Yuanzhang started out as a beggar, but he achieved so much. All of his generals came from poor backgrounds. There are some things that you can't do without, but once you do them, your bloodline will be awakened. Do your best. You've followed the right person. The boss is famous for protecting his brothers."

This is natural, and the two of them understand it deeply. Li Dabiao did not dare to return to the village because of his status, but his parents' old house had been renovated long ago, and the family had several mules and horses. Most of his brothers and sisters also worked in the kimchi factory, and they were all rich.

Chen Ziguang was even more so. His wife bought a big house in the provincial capital and worked as a senior foreman in a restaurant, earning more than 300 yuan a month. The dividends from the secrets were enough to buy several big villas. In short, the money given by the boss was definitely enough.

Just this morning, Luo Xingxing paid three and a half million dollars to redeem all the mercenaries he hired. Of course, the people were returned, but all their equipment was left behind to arm Li Dabiao's elite troops.

One hundred kilometers away is the central fortress where Luo Xingxing is stationed. It is a city with a population of up to 30,000 people. This scale is definitely large in the local area. Together with hundreds of villages around it, there are nearly 100,000 people here.

The surrounding mines are all his family's properties, and the factory taxes and farmland taxes are also not small, enough for him to support 5,000 soldiers.

Luo Xingxing felt very aggrieved about this incident, but he did not give in. It was just that the mercenary leader Evan Klin kept persuading him not to make an enemy of Zhennan Mine, which made him very unhappy. If it were because of the family behind him, he would have been killed long ago.

Before leaving, Evan Klin sneered, "Although this Zhennan Mine is powerful, it is more or less stupid. My family is an oil tycoon, and they only asked for $100,000. If you contact my dad, even if it's $3 million, you have to give it to me."

A big bird flew by in the sky and actually shit on his face, which made him so angry that he used up all his bullets.

Luo Xingxing was practicing calligraphy in the room when he suddenly heard a bang on the roof, as if something had hit him. He immediately called out to his men, "What's going on? Go check it out."

The security personnel quickly took down a hollow mortar shell from the roof. Inside was a note. It was very simple and the handwriting was very ugly. "General Luo, your dog head is available at any time. Don't be arrogant." It was signed by Li Dabiao of Zhennan Mine, and there was a picture of a big knife with a red tassel.

Luo Xingxing was shocked. His first reaction was that there was a traitor among his men. He immediately launched a purge, conducted a large-scale investigation, and even shot several suspicious people.

After this scare, I never dared to live on the ground again. I had to live in the secret room underground when I had nothing to do.

While Liu Xia Lian was busy with the gold mine affairs, the fourth brother Liu Jingwen had been in office for more than five months.

As a town mayor who is in charge of the economy, the pressure is quite great. There are more than 30,000 people in the town, but there is no medium-sized enterprise, and there are only more than 300 individual businesses. The only town-run enterprise is the meat processing plant, which is simply a pig slaughterhouse. It slaughters more than a dozen pigs every day, earns more than 1,000 yuan a month, and pays more than 100 yuan in taxes a month.
