It was another busy day. Antonio went to the town for a drink after get off work and returned to the small shack at the end of the town.

"Antonio, those yellow guys are selling machinery. Steven has calculated that if we buy it, we can make more." As soon as Antonio returned to the small shack, someone in the same group said.

"Let this go beforehand, we are in trouble." Antonio said drunkenly.

"What's wrong?"

"Our gold mine doesn't have much mining value. Maybe we will soon be unemployed." Antonio burped from the wine.

"How is that possible! Another group of people came to the mine, and now there are 1,500 miners!" Steven said in surprise.

"If there is no mining value, they will not increase the number of miners."

"It's true. One ton of ore can only extract more than one gram of gold, but they have to pay us more than three grams of salary. It doesn't look like it will last long." Antonio scratched his head.

Three pounds a week, twelve pounds a month, and four days of rest are unthinkable for a low-level person like him, but it seems to be over soon.

Before his colleagues could react, Antonio had already fallen asleep.

"Wake up, Antonio! It's time to go to work!" Steven woke up Antonio.

"Huh?" Antonio looked confused.

"Hurry up, the car is about to leave." Steven pulled Antonio up, took the tools, went out, and got on the construction site transport truck.

The town is two kilometers upwind from the mining area. It is actually just one street, and the only industries are the properties of the mining company.

Taking a ride to the construction site every morning and returning to the town in the afternoon is very happy for the miners, and it is also very happy for the mining company.

"Everyone, please be quiet." Liu Bicheng, wearing a striking uniform, stood upwind.

"What a stupid uniform. It's huge and bloated. It will only make it difficult for people to work." Everyone else sarcastically said. Antonio didn't answer, just wanting to know what the boss wanted to say.

Should we lower salaries or simply lay off everyone?

"I believe everyone knows that this is a failed investment. The gold content here is too low to support the operation of the entire company." Liu Bicheng said in a heavy tone.

"No! Am I going to lose my job just now when I get here? If I had known, I would have stayed at Uncle Huck's farm."

"Sure enough, are we going to be dismissed next? Then can we refine the gold ourselves?"

"Idiot! This mine belongs to someone else, and there are dozens of miles around it, ha! Stupid yellow-skinned man."

Looking at the various people, Liu Bicheng curled up his lips.

"Calm down, those who are worried about losing their jobs, don't be afraid, the gold mining company will definitely die;

But after several weeks of excavation, we discovered that it was not just gold, but also pyrite, granite, uranium, chromium, etc., and anyway, it still has a certain value." Liu Bicheng said slowly.

"Iron ore has a broad market, uranium and chromium can also be sold, marble can be used as furniture, and the mining value is still there. It is just cheaper." Liu Bicheng announced the latest salary system.

"Because we are not developing high value-added things like gold and silver, the performance salary will be reduced by half. If anyone wants to quit, we have a car to take you to the nearest city." After Liu Bicheng finished speaking, he left.

There will definitely be people leaving, some unbalanced, some making trouble, and some staying.

This salary is not low, and it is not cheap in Australia where labor costs are high (performance).

"Antonio, are you leaving?" Steven asked.

"I don't know, two pounds a week seems okay, but..." Antonio felt very unbalanced, but he didn't have any drastic thoughts. He just wanted to leave.

"No, I've done some calculations. If we buy a transport truck, have one person drive and six people mining, our mining efficiency will be three times higher, and our wages will even increase." Steven eagerly proved.

He was the only one in their group who had studied for several years. If he didn't have a criminal record, he wouldn't be a miner. He saw the trucks transporting people to the construction site every day and felt that he already knew how to do it.

"How much does it cost?" Antonio was a little excited.

"Eight hundred pounds, hey! You can get a loan without interest, but the car can only be left on the construction site. You think, the money is going to be spent anyway, why not buy a car? By then we will have spent all the money and still have a car.

Isn't it?" Steven said eagerly, looking at Anthony who turned around and left.

Anthony stopped: "Loan?"

"It's like this. We pay one hundred pounds first, and the car will be used by us first. After that, we will pay five pounds a week for one and a half years. And after half a year, if the mine evacuates, the car will be left to us." Stephen said quickly.

said.

"There are seven of us, and each of us pays fourteen shillings a week." Stephen looked at Antonio and said firmly.

"Did anyone else agree?"

"Huh~ As long as you agree, they will agree." Steven breathed out. Antonio is their leader, and his agreement is half the battle.

"That's all we need..."

………

In Surabaya, Liu Yiming is revising the city planning map.

"Your Majesty, the gold has been shipped, but something unexpected happened." Jiang Wang pushed away Liu Yiming's office.

"What?" Liu Yiming stopped what he was doing.

"It's not a bad thing. One of our intelligence officers has mastered a Boer army of about 3,000 men. He sent gold when he attacked the Cape. Now he is forced by the British army to a position between the German and Portuguese colonies.

." Jiang Wang said.

Tower Reading & Little

Because the entire plan was led and formulated by Liu Yiming, Jiang Wang reported directly to Liu Yiming after receiving the news. After all, Liu Yiming had been planning for the British for a long time, so maybe this news would be useful.

"Where is it?" Liu Yiming was a little confused. Portuguese colony?

"Here. This place belongs to the British army's sphere of influence, but it is dominated by tribes and cannot be controlled. Many Boers have retreated here, including their president." Jiang Wang said, pointing to an area east of German West Africa.

The specific location is between German West Africa and Zimbabwe.

"Let them retreat to the German colonies and leave a tail for the British. It is best to let reporters know and then withdraw the intelligence personnel." Liu Yiming originally wanted to do business in the second half.

But the opportunity is here. As long as this army appears in German West Africa, William will lose his crotch with yellow mud - either shit or shit.

As for business, it can be done at any time, and such a good opportunity to frame someone up does not come often.

"Yes, by the way, Your Majesty, we have received intelligence that the Qing Empire is not very peaceful. An organization called the Boxers is developing rapidly with the slogan of resisting the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. The intelligence officer believes that this organization is similar to the one from decades ago.

There are some similarities between long hair." Jiang Wang thought for a while and reported the information himself.

The Qing Empire's position in Nanhua was somewhat awkward. On the one hand, most people in Nanhua were from wherever they came from and had feelings for it. On the other hand, most people had not had a good life before, and they had concerns about the government after coming to Nanhua.

Full of hatred.

What's even more amazing is that the royal families of the two countries can be said to be hostile to each other, and there are many contacts between the two peoples. Nanhua is already the second largest importer and the largest exporter of the Qing Empire.

If it weren't for the restriction of some mysterious force, Liu Yiming would definitely fight back. Unfortunately, now he can only be a businessman.

"Oh? Are you rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty again? Is there still Wusheng Old Mother?" Liu Yiming smiled.

"Please report this matter to Mr. Li, and don't worry about anything else. Is there any movement in North Korea?" Liu Yiming shook his head and couldn't care less.

It’s not time to take care of it now, the British are keeping a close eye on it, and Nanhua can only export weapons, fuel, dyes, chemical products, etc.

"The Japanese expanded the army to twelve divisions, but reduced the number of divisions. Five of them were placed in North Korea, totaling 75,000 people." Jiang Wang knew what Liu Yiming was concerned about.

Liu Yiming also understood what Jiang Wang meant. If 75,000 people marched wherever they wanted, it would be useless for them to think whatever they thought.

"Expansion?" Liu Yiming frowned.

"How has Japan's strategic material collection in the past two years been? How has its recent dealings with the British been? How is its financial situation?" Liu Yiming was a little uneasy.

His plan is based on the original time.

At that time, the railway was almost completed, and Japan had also completed the construction of the Sixth Fleet. They took advantage of the time difference and chose to go to war.

But at that time, Japan was accumulating trump cards, and the most important thing was supplies. In four years, it plundered a large amount of supplies at home, on the peninsula, and in the Qing Empire, saved a lot of money, and paid off debts of 1.7 billion yen.

But now Japan already owes more than one billion yen, and the second six-six 10,000-ton cruise ships of the Six-Six Fleet have not yet been accounted for.

As for plundering, the common people are no longer able to plunder. They are so poor that they don’t have any clothes. This is a true portrayal.

"Japan claims that this time it is carrying out reforms for the sake of peace, reducing the number of troops stationed on the peninsula, and reducing friction between the two sides. As for the material reserves, there should not be much." Jiang Wang summarized the estimated total amount of materials in his head.

"It should be enough for 100,000 people for two months, and it won't be enough for more." Jiang Wang came according to Nanhua standards.

"Is this so? How many Russian troops are stationed in that corridor?" Liu Yiming judged according to Japanese standards.

"The two divisions have 60,000 people, but this is only inside the corridor. There are about 170,000 people in the entire Far East." Jiang Wang recalled briefly.

"The war will not break out for the time being. Pay attention to the trends of the British. Help me make an appointment with the German ambassador and say that I am willing to exchange naval technology with them." Liu Yiming planned to exchange steam turbine technology for artillery technology.

Without him, the 45-caliber 305 naval gun planned to be used by the Dahan class encountered difficulties. Under normal charge, the firing life was only 80 rounds, which was far lower than the expected life.

The artillery factory inspected for a long time and did not know what went wrong, hoping to seek cooperation with the French.

Liu Yiming agreed, but it did not prevent him from finding the Germans. This did not mean that Liu Yiming was superstitious about Krupp, but that for every battleship Germany built, Britain would build two.

That……

…………

Liu Yiming never expected that Jiang Wang would evaluate the Japanese material reserves according to Nanhua standards.

I agree with Jiang Wang, but I can’t imagine why Liu Yiming used Japanese standards?

Japan is used to being poor, so they practice hard on shooting and stabbing skills, and if they can't excel at one, they'll do it.

The Nanhua Army's early tactical skills were not good, so they could only make up for it with firepower, and if they failed to stand out, they would explode.
