Chapter 19 The Mountain God Works
"Boom."
In the awe-inspiring eyes of everyone, the mountain in front of him seemed to have become a living life.
The stone that should have been hard became as soft and elastic as a human body. After a difficult wriggle, I saw a whole piece of material of various colors squeezed out of the mountain.
With a "bang", these substances were smashed into countless pieces.
If someone knows some mineralogy, he can roughly tell that there are dozens of substances such as copper, iron, silver, and coal.
And they are all products after fine treatment, with very high purity.
Then, the ground began to wriggle, like conveyor belts formed, moving these substances to one side in different categories, and specialized workers transported them to the steel plant at the foot of the mountain.
Over the days, all workers have reduced their work intensity too much.
Because their lives were done by a mountain.
That's right, it's the mountain in front of you.
According to legend, the mountain gods in this mountain were in chaos that day and asked the residents of Huanglongxi to sacrifice ten pairs of boys and girls for him to enjoy every year. It happened to be known by Mr. Wu San, who lives here, that Mr. Wu San came late at night and fought with the mountain god for 500 rounds. Finally, he surrendered the evil god and returned the peace here.
In order to atone for his sins, Wu Sanye ordered the mountain god to collect tens of millions of kilograms of ore every year to compensate the people of Huanglongxi.
I don’t know who passed on this story first, but everyone believed it.
Especially in the eyes of local workers, Wu Sanye is undoubtedly a top-notch figure, otherwise how could he drive the mountain god to do things for him?
...
"Woo."
A steamboat on the vast Minjiang River made a low whistle sound, and nearby fishermen shook their own ships and avoided them from afar.
The Yellow Dragon Flag was hung on the boat, and when the river breeze blew, it opened high.
The entire flag is yellow as the base, with a green dragon embroidered on it. As the flag flutters, the dragons on it are also surging with their teeth and claws.
No wonder these fishermen dare not approach. This is the Qing Dynasty flag, and only official boats are qualified to use it.
On the deck of the bow, a heroic young man stood.
He was wearing a golden jacket, a thick and black braided neatly combed it, and dragged it behind him. He was extremely tall, probably close to 1.9 meters. In this era when his average height was only over 1.6 meters tall, he was really a little giant.
"Sir, after passing the fork in front, you will reach the Chishui River."
On the four sides of the young man, many officials of varying ages stood bent. Although his age was almost the shallowest, his status was the highest.
This person is not a person, but Wu He, who was newly appointed as the 17th Town of the New Army in Sichuan, and also acted as the governor of Sichuan.
Wu He is a leading figure in the new army in recent years. He studied in the West when he was a teenager, proficient in many languages, and had a very thorough understanding of the systems of various countries. After returning to China, he joined the new army. Because of his repeated suggestions on improving the military system, he was appreciated by some big shots, so he rose all the way.
He was only in his early thirties and had already reached the position of command.
This time, the governor of Sichuan, Zhao Erfeng was assassinated and seriously injured. When the railway state problem broke out, the entire southwest became turbulent.
Now the Qing Dynasty is worried about domestic and foreign troubles, and it really cannot withstand the toss and consciences.
In order to cut the mess quickly, the Regent sent out a capable general from the new army, hoping to calm the situation as soon as possible.
The official ship quickly left the Minjiang River waterway and entered the Chishui River.
Compared with the wide and surging Minjiang River, the water flow of the Chishui River has become much smoother. Along the way, the number of merchant ships can be seen has also increased.
Wu He held his hands behind his back, his eyes swept across the familiar and unfamiliar scenery around him, and his thoughts drifted farther and farther away.
Most of the things I don’t know are that he is actually from Sichuan. He spent basically in Meizhou in the first sixteen years of his life. However, in the later period, he went abroad to study and changed his identity, but few people knew his real background.
"I haven't seen the youngest for a long time. I've given me such a big surprise before I met."
The Wu family has three children, he is two-way, and the youngest is ten years younger than him.
Before the third brother was born, he did not believe that there were really people who knew it in this world.
The third child of their family knew how to read at the age of three, memorized the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of five, and was very independent at the age of eight, and often spoke some secret words, but they often got the most. The Wu family was originally just an ordinary wealthy family, and they had some influence in Meizhou.
But after several instructions from the third brother, his assets doubled and soon became famous in Sichuan.
After the financial resources grew to a certain stage, their assets began to be transferred abroad. The country only combines with local forces to support some puppets to operate their business.
After the Wu family arrived abroad, the asset growth rate not only did not slow down, but it was even more exaggerated than the growth rate in China. The penicillin extraction method developed by the third brother has become the treasure pot of the Wu family, and has brought billions of wealth to their family every year.
Penicillin is a magical tool in this era, and I don’t know how many people live with it.
The official ship slowly approached the pier of Chishui River. Wu He narrowed his eyes slightly. In the crowd, he saw a familiar figure.
The ship was docked, and Wu He hurriedly walked down.
Just as he was about to say hello, the man bowed and bowed, "Caomin has met Lord Wu."
Wu He froze, looked around, and nodded slightly.
"I am going to take office in Rongcheng. I happened to pass by here and want to meet my old friends. Just leave two people with me and everyone else will be repaired on the spot." Wu He turned around and told everyone, and then left straight away.
The officials on the ship stared at each other, a little confused and at a loss.
This Lord Wu is really willful and is a senior official of the court after all. How can I do it if there are only a few people around me? What if the last incident of Zhao Erfeng happens again?
"The third brother, I haven't seen each other for three or four years in a flash. You are a little taller than before."
When only the confidants were left nearby, Wu He gave Wu Xuanzhi a hug. He was half a head taller than Wu Xuanzhi, and he was completely alone. With this hug, others would probably be too hungry to breathe.
"Second brother, you still look like that." Wu Xuanzhi had a faint smile on his face, without any sign of embarrassment.
"How can you still be like before? Your second brother, I, now I am the second rank. Now I am released in Sichuan. I am a real chief official." Wu He laughed and was in a very good mood.
Wu Xuanzhi didn't answer the conversation and was still smiling.
"Hehe, of course, there is also the third brother behind this, you are also the credit."
