At the back of Yang Village
,
in the snow and ice, a few young and strong villagers were digging in the deep pit at the foot of the mountain.
There were also people above who were responsible for pulling the soil. They pulled the baskets of soil to the ground and loaded them into the cart.
The topmost layer was yellow soil, which gradually turned into sand. Now, it had turned into black crushed sand, making it more and more difficult to dig.
Fortunately, the villagers were still studying landmine warfare!
They 'borrowed' a lot of mines to help!
With one shot of the thunder blast, it could dig for half a day, and with two more shots, it could dig for half a day. It was very convenient.
After digging down for five meters, the sand layer became harder and harder, gradually turning into a whole piece of black stone. The villagers were shocked
.”
"Aiya, damn it, I dug up coal!”
"Quick, quick, quick, inform Regiment Commander Li and ask him what to do. Ask the village chief if we should mine these coal.”
Soon,
Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, Kong Jie, Zhao Gang, Chen Rui, and the others all wore green cotton coats and came to the back of the mountain to check.
A large amount of coal waste had also been dug out!
The surrounding villagers stood shoulder to shoulder.
"It's really coal. Look, there's already coal residue in these stones. The quality is not bad!”
"Then our Yang Village has become rich?”
"It's hard to say. The Japanese are eyeing us covetously. I think they might bring us trouble, and it won't be small.”
"Damn the Japanese, they're so hateful! The
quality of this coal mine is really good!”
"I wonder if it will be of any use?”
The villagers had mixed feelings. They were surprised, regretful, and angry. They discussed and guessed what the impact would be.
Should Commander Li mine it?
Would it attract the Japanese?
Can we defend the village?
Chen Rui knew that he couldn't just leave it be. Before Li Yunlong and the others could react, he immediately muttered to himself,
"Hey, I didn't expect there to be coal!”
"Good!
This is a good thing, a great thing!”
"We were just about to build a thermal generator when we discovered the coal mine. It's really blessed by the heavens.”
"In the future, we won't need to burn firewood to keep warm.”
"Our Yang Village no longer has to be afraid of the cold winter…"
His words immediately reminded the villagers. Everyone thought about it carefully and realized that they would definitely benefit from it. There was nothing to be unhappy about.
The villagers and the independent group were in a common interest.
Everyone would benefit ~
Zhao Gang also reacted and felt a chill down his back. As the saying goes, money moves people's hearts. If it was not handled properly and conflicted with the interests of the villagers, the consequences would be unimaginable!
1. Directly losing the foundation of society
2. Creating estrangement with the villagers
3. Being chased away if you can't stay
. After all, people's hearts and human nature are complicated. If you can't stand with the majority of the people, you'll be in danger.
Old Zhao also stood up and promised,"Dear villagers, this coal mine must be mined, and everyone will benefit. Our Independent Regiment can absolutely guarantee it!”
"Whether it's heating or cooking at home, it's free. Moreover, the power supply from the power station will also be provided at a low price.”
"The Japanese can't attack our Yang Village!”
Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao, and the others all agreed with him.
When the villagers heard the news, they were all happy.
Very satisfied!
Free usage, low-cost electricity supply, and mining were more than enough for them.
Everyone smiled happily and praised,
"All the leaders are good leaders ~"
"The Eighth Route Army really cares about the people!”
"Good! Good! Good! That's great
..."”
The villagers cheered and ran around to tell each other. They were overjoyed. They really wanted to spread the news and make others envious. Unfortunately, that would bring danger.
They could only secretly rejoice in the village!
They were happy, but Li Yunlong, Chen Rui, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie, and the others had serious expressions on their faces. They immediately went back to the meeting.
They were discussing how to develop this mine.
Large-scale development, small-scale development,
quiet development, bold development,
mining, and selling to whom?
How to deal with the Japanese?
In fact, the Japanese were easy to deal with. Jiang Feng would soon provide them with weapons, so they did not have to be afraid of the Japanese.
The key was how to develop it and how to sell it.
Cooking
, heating,
and generating electricity
didn't require much at all. He could only sell them!
Even if they didn't sell it, the supply brigade, division, and headquarters had to compensate the villagers. Otherwise, was there a need to say anything?
"If I lose the support of the people, I won't be able to survive in the future…"
Everyone discussed for a long time, but there was no good solution. Chen Rui thought about it carefully and suggested,"Should we ask Brother Feng? Perhaps he has a solution?"”
"Hmm, that makes sense. Ask Mr. Jiang!”
"I agree!"
"I agree!"
Unfortunately, they couldn't contact Jiang Feng. It was only when Jiang Feng got home from work that night that they took the initiative to contact them.
Chen Rui and Li Yunlong briefly introduced the situation.
"Dig tunnels and dig out coal?"
"Damn, your luck is really
…"”
Jiang Feng did not know whether to laugh or cry. The corner of his mouth twitched as he nodded and praised,"Chen Rui did the right thing. This matter is very serious. We can't underestimate it!"”
"Human hearts often can't withstand the test of interests.”
"Even if you don't say it, there will be estrangement in your hearts. You have to try your best to stand on the same side as the commoners.”
"A community of interests is the most reliable ally!”
"As for coal, you can support our troops or I can buy it. Ten catties of coal for one catty of food.”
"You can also make coal products and sell them.”
"For example, briquettes, coke, honeycomb briquettes…"
Honeycomb briquettes and briquettes were made of coal powder and soil, 2:1, mixed with water. It was easy to make.
It could greatly increase the burning time and slow down the burning. It was very convenient to use for heating and was cheap!
Coke was an essential raw material for steel-making.
There were a lot of coke factories in Jinzhong.
However, Yang Village was too close to the front line, so it was not suitable. If they were bombarded once, they would be done for. Honeycomb briquettes and briquettes were better. The market demand was huge.
Old Li's eyes lit up as he asked in surprise,
"Ten catties of coal can be exchanged for one catty of grain?"”
"Xiaojiang, are you joking?”
He wasn't interested in coal briquettes, honeycomb briquettes, or coke. How convenient would it be to sell them to Jiang Feng? This price was also high!
Ten catties of coal, one catty of grain
, ten tons of coal, one ton of grain
, ten tons of coal. That was enough for a family to eat for a year. Wouldn't it be easy to dig up ten tons? It was a piece of cake!
Jiang Feng nodded with a strange expression
.”
A catty of old grain was about one yuan. This year, coal was in short supply, so the price per ton was 2,000 yuan. It was also one yuan per catty, which directly made ten times the profit!
How could he not be willing?
There was nothing wrong with it. It was a win-win deal
