Chapter 173 Coal Mine Discovered
Li Dakang continued, "Uncle Ergui, don't worry, I promise I'm not asking you to do voluntary labor.
After you find the coal mine, the independent column will give you the corresponding reward. Next, I would like to invite you to be the mine manager and be responsible for leading people to dig coal. "
Yang Dahua came over from the kitchen with tea. After hearing what Li Dakang said, she hurriedly spoke to Li Ergui.
"Boss, why are you still hesitating? Hurry up and agree to it. This is a good job."
"If you work for the Eighth Route Army, will they treat you unfairly?"
Li Ergui, who was still hesitating, nodded in agreement after hearing the old woman's urging.
If he dared to disagree, another family conflict would break out.
The reason why Li Ergui dared to take this job was because of the skills he had acquired since childhood. If it were someone else, they might not be able to guarantee it.
When Yang Dahua heard the boss's agreement, she immediately smiled.
She handed the brewed tea to Li Dakang and spoke enthusiastically.
"Dakang, my uncle Ergui can be handed over to the Eighth Route Army. You must not let your uncle Ergui suffer any loss."
Li Dakang replied with a smile: "Auntie, don't worry, Uncle Ergui will definitely have a bright future if he helps us in the Eighth Route Army..."
Yang Dahua smiled even more brightly.
She had no doubt about what Li Dakang said. After all, Li Dakang was one of the top figures in the Independent Column. In their eyes, Li Dakang was a high-ranking official.
Li Ergui said, "Dakang, when are we going to look for a mine? Give me some time so I can prepare something."
"Uncle Ergui, we can set off now. This matter is very urgent, so we have to find it as soon as possible." Li Dakang said hurriedly.
"Okay, wait for me for a moment. I'll go back to the room to get the tools."
After saying that, Li Ergui stood up and walked into a small utility room in the yard.
I saw him rummaging around in the utility room, looking for tools.
after awhile.
Li Ergui walked up to Li Dakang holding a Luoyang shovel and carrying a box on his back.
"Da Kang, I'm ready and can go now."
Li Dakang looked at Li Ergui and said, "Uncle Ergui, is this all you have?"
Li Ergui patted the box behind him.
"This is enough. This is a good thing passed down from my ancestors. It will ensure that we can find the coal mine quickly."
Li Dakang didn't understand the ins and outs of this, so he could only nod.
Anyway, what he knew was that Li Ergui often went around the country to look for minerals for others, and he was very good at it.
I hope we can find a coal mine today and choose a location to build a power plant.
........
After Li Dakang and Li Ergui set out from Lijiazhuang, they rode to Yelang Mountain.
He pointed at Wild Wolf Mountain and said to Li Ergui.
"Uncle Ergui, we need to find a coal mine near Wild Wolf Mountain, ............."
Li Ergui rolled off his horse and carefully looked at the terrain near Yelang Mountain.
"Dakang, based on my many years of experience in prospecting for minerals, there must be a mine near Wild Wolf Mountain."
Li Dakang was overjoyed when he heard Li Ergui's words.
It’s good to have mines, it’s good to have mines.
Now the site for building the power plant has been decided.
Wild Wolf Mountain is located in the heart of the Independent Column’s base. Building a power plant on Wild Wolf Mountain can ensure safety to the greatest extent.
Next, Li Ergui took off the box he was carrying, put it on the ground and opened it.
The box was filled with all kinds of utensils and cooking tools.
Li Dakang had never seen many of these things and was very curious.
Under the gaze of everyone, Li Ergui put on his robes, then took out the utensils from the box and laid them out one by one on the ground.
After everything was done, Li Ergui began to prepare.
He began to dance in circles around the magic tools on the ground, muttering incomprehensible spells.
Li Dakang was stunned. This was the first time he had seen such a ceremony in his life.
Oh my goodness, prospecting for minerals really has to be done by professionals.
The dance that Li Ergui performed alone is not something that can be learned casually.
A few minutes later.
Li Ergui stopped the practice.
Li Dakang asked hurriedly: "Uncle Ergui, how is it? Is there any mine?"
"Dakang, I have found out where the mine is through my practice just now."
"You come with me."
Li Ergui packed up his things, took the Luoyang shovel, held the compass in his hand, and started walking into the Wild Wolf Mountain.
Li Dakang and others followed Li Ergui.
After half an hour.
The group went around a mountain and came to a flat plain.
I saw that this place was full of weeds and the ground was covered with stones. It didn't look like a place with mines at all.
Everyone was wondering if they had come to the wrong place.
Li Dakang walked up to Li Ergui.
"Uncle Ergui, is the coal mine here? This place doesn't look like a place with a mine."
"Dakang, where we are standing now is a coal mine."
Li Dakang looked at Li Ergui in shock.
"Uncle Ergui, you are not lying to me, are you?"
Li Ergui knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. Li Dakang and others had to see it with their own eyes before they would believe it.
He put down the things on his body and began to assemble the Luoyang shovel.
Then, he found a place with relatively loose soil and started to dig down with the Luoyang shovel.
As soil was continuously taken out of the hole, everyone was looking forward to discovering black soil.
After a period of time.
The soil Luoyang shoveled became deeper and deeper, but he never saw any coal slag.
Just when everyone thought there was no mine in this place.
Suddenly, the Luoyang shovel took out a piece of black soil.
"Look, there is coal slag in the soil." someone in the team exclaimed.
Others looked at the Luoyang shovel and saw a section of black soil on it.
Li Ergui walked up to Li Dakang with coal slag.
"Dakang, I have accomplished my mission and finally found the coal mine, which is 4 meters underground.
Based on my years of experience, this is a medium-sized coal mine with a very impressive output.”
Li Dakang was ecstatic. He didn't expect to find the coal mine so quickly. It was simply amazing.
This good news must be reported to the commander immediately.
"Uncle Ergui, we were able to find the coal mine this time thanks to you.
Next, we will select a site nearby to build a power plant. I solemnly invite you to serve as the mine manager and lead the mining team."
Li Dakang extended a warm invitation on the spot.
In his opinion, Li Ergui was so capable that he was born to do this job.
The Independent Column is in great need of this kind of talent, and will need to find more mines in the future.
Li Ergui grew up in a mine and must be very familiar with mining, so it is most appropriate for him to be the mine manager. As the saying goes, every profession has its specialties, and this kind of thing should be done by professionals.
