Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious
Chapter 643: Dig her mountain and make further judgment
"Are you kidding me?" Uncle Yin frowned.
There is no way there are minerals in those three mountains.
He thought that his previous judgment was wrong. Maybe someone saw the treasure and asked the government to mark it, and the government sold it at a high price.
"How much did Miss Shui spend to get the approval document?"
"One hundred thousand taels of silver."
Uncle Yin was stunned again. What's the difference between buying a few barren mountains and spending 100,000 taels of silver? It's just like buying mountains that have no value at all and becoming a mountain owner for a bit of fun.
After all, she is just a little girl. Uncle Yin wants to laugh now.
But he was still not completely reassured: "Go dig in those mountains and see if there are any jades there."
Qiao Jian'er has already obtained the approval document, which means that the three mountains are hers. No matter how powerful Uncle Yin is, he cannot openly dig other people's mountains.
This task fell on the evening.
Qiao Jianer is now in the residential area, recruiting residents to work for her.
Many residents gathered at the gate of Dansuo's yard. When they heard that Miss Shui would offer better treatment, they were naturally willing to do so.
Seeing that quite a lot of people had come, Qiao Jianer held up a finger and said, "This amount every month, plus 100 kilograms of rice and 3 kilograms of pork."
A resident followed his movements and asked, "What's this number?"
But Suo translated on the side and said that after two days of rest, he could barely get out of bed.
"One tael of silver a month." said Qiao Jianer.
The residents all opened their eyes wide. One tael a month, that would be twelve taels a year.
They have a whole family with children, parents and other children, and they can only spend four taels of rice at most throughout the year. However, they cannot even earn four taels of rice. They rely on picking up stones, no matter whether it is a stable income or a lucky one, and they are lucky if they can eat until they are 70% to 80% full every day.
But the Water Girl asked for twelve taels of silver a year, plus rice and meat.
Is there such a good thing in this world?
Some even murmured, "Is this the Naga Buddha appearing in the world?"
"Miss Shui, did I hear it right? One or two taels of silver a month." asked a resident.
"Yes, one or two taels a month, one hundred kilograms of rice, and three kilograms of pork." Qiao Jianer saw everyone's confused expressions and knew that no one believed it.
Sure enough, after confirming it, the residents all exclaimed in surprise.
"Then count me in. I want to sign up."
"There are five working people in our family, and we all go to work for the water girl."
"There are nine working people in our family, and that's not too much for the water girl."
"No matter how many people there are, there is never too many." Qiao Jianer owns three mountains, and the local residents only count the labor force, which is about 600 people.
All the villagers worked for her, and it was barely enough.
Their names were different from those in Daze State, and Qiao Lian'er couldn't remember them clearly. Anyway, every household had to participate, so they didn't register. At most, the soldiers would check them every day.
"Everyone go back first. Construction will start the day after tomorrow."
Qiao Jian'er was actually giving Uncle Yin some time. After all, Uncle Yin wanted to go to her mountain to investigate thoroughly.
But when Suo felt a little better, he started to arrange for the construction of a house.
He took out ten taels of the twelve taels he earned from selling jade to build a house with a living room and four rooms, one for him and his sister, and two for guests.
The residents all came to help. With the good job that Shui Girl had, who would be willing to risk their lives to go to the mountains to pick up minerals, get scolded all the time, go hungry, and have no dignity?
As a result, the mountains where people mined for ore became empty, and the hillsides where people worked for warlords and wealthy businessmen also became empty.
A peaceful day.
As long as the wood supply is in place, the houses here can be built quickly, but the Suo family wants to build a stilt house. People in the residential area who have some means build stilt houses to prevent mosquitoes, snakes and ants, and they can also raise some livestock underneath.
But Suo had bought all the wood, and with so many residents helping him, it only took two days to build a sturdy stilt house.
It would be fine if no one was picking up the discarded stones, but the warlords and wealthy businessmen needed someone to pick up the raw stones and then hand them over to the appraisers for identification. Now there is no one, so it is impossible to start.
Seeing the empty hillside, the warlords' faces suddenly turned unhappy.
After asking, I found out that it was the water girl who recruited everyone to dig the three mountains for her.
The wages she paid were one tael of silver a month, plus rice and meat. As a result, the three taels of silver a year that the residents earned from picking up stones were totally inadequate and seemed stingy and mean.
"Are those three mountains valuable?" a warlord asked his subordinates.
"A total of one hundred thousand taels was spent, and the approval document has been obtained."
The warlord laughed heartily. "Another gambler, dreaming of opening a mine worth ten million taels by spending a hundred thousand taels. What's the difference between him and those gamblers who bet on stones?"
The adjutant beside him said, "She's a brainless person. Just wait and see her make a fool of herself."
It doesn't matter if there are no residents working here, just let the soldiers take over. Otherwise, they would not want to drive all these residents away because they already have enough manpower.
However, those soldiers were originally responsible for supervision, but now most of them had to be assigned to do the work. They all had reluctant expressions on their faces, and they also hoped that Qiao Jianer would make a fool of himself.
At night, Uncle Yin's men began to act. There was no one guarding the mountain yet. Hundreds of people came with tools, some responsible for digging and some for cutting.
They were busy until dawn the next day, and everyone was sweating profusely.
Qiao Jianer sat on the mountain, watching them busy, and then went to the time difference space to have a good sleep.
"Damn, we dug all night and didn't find a single valuable stone. I'm so tired." The soldiers complained.
"It's certain that Miss Shui lost the bet and wasted a hundred thousand taels. She'll soon know what disappointment is, haha."
"We've dug more than ten feet deep. If it were really valuable, we would have seen the jadeite rough stone long ago. Let's go, let's go back and report."
Before dawn, the soldiers left, leaving behind a mess.
They did not hide it. This was very normal in Kachin area. If anyone opened a mine, other warlords would go and "explore" it to find out its true value.
If it is really of great value, then we can cooperate with each other and share a piece of the pie. If you are unwilling to cooperate, then we can fight it out with swords and guns.
In a place like this, you not only have to be able to eat the food, but you also have to be able to consume it.
What’s interesting is that the three mountains of Water Girl are completely made of waste rocks, which is just a joke.
Uncle Yin received the report and took another look at the most valuable stones found by the soldiers, which were worth no more than a hundred taels at most.
He fell silent again and said, "I misjudged him from the beginning."
She's just a clueless girl fooling around. She has some talent in identifying stones, but she's self-righteous and uses them recklessly.
Those three mountains can produce a bird.
