At this time, Dulin was chatting with Mr. Federley about the gold mine.

In the west, gold mines are always the things that attract people's eyes the most. A newly discovered gold mine first represents not wealth, not luck, but disaster. Every new gold mine discovery means the beginning of a bloody and cruel battle. It is difficult to stop the battle without the big crocodile entering the field, but big crocodiles do not enter the field on time every time and join the game. They also need to consider whether there are too many things in their hands and whether it will cause people to rebound.

This is the western part of the empire, and it is synonymous with barbarism. Even if the capital tycoons aroused public anger here, some people dare to come over and do a vote in the middle of the night. Anyone who wants to make up the business here will tell them that the money will be put into one pocket, and the final pocket will be broken.

So even if new gold mines appear, the giants will not show too much possessiveness. This is not the south, the east, the north, and the places where civilized people are mostly occupied.

Mr. Federley has a gold mine and a gem mine here. He is the supplier of Dulin Ilian Jewelry Store. The jewelry store in Ilian has always used Mr. Federley's gold and gems, and the two parties also have good cooperative relationships. With the help of the gold from Federley, this formal channel, Dulin cleaned up his batch of gold.

This time when I came to the west, the first person Dulin met was Federly.

Mr. Jack has a certain understanding of the West, but he does not live in the West. His understanding of the West comes from those under his command. It seems that he knows a lot of things, but these things may not work in the West. So Dulin first meets Federley and talks about some specific things in the West. This topic starts with the mine.

"If you want to talk about interesting news recently, it must be the matter on Yagur Mountain..." Mr. Federley is in his fifties and looks very ordinary. The only regret is that his hair, the middle piece has fallen out, leaving only a shiny big bald head that can reflect the shadow of the light. "Last time in the West Mining Conference... Oh, by the way, you just came here and didn't know much about the matter here. The West Mining Conference is abbreviated, the full name is the Western Mining Development Committee, composed of mine owners of all sizes, and mainly solves some disputes."

"It is said that several tourists picked up an iron ore in the river outside Yagur Mountain that had been dry and weathered for many years and brought it back. They were discovered when they took it out at the market. After inspection, they found that it was an oxidized silver mine. News of the silver mine in Yagur Mountain spread immediately. Almost most free gold diggers and large and small forces ran away. They found a huge silver mine near the Yagur Mountain area that they had never paid attention to in the past. According to the exploration results of the Western Mining Association, Yagur Mountain silver mine is a rich mine, with a finished product inventory of about 120,000 tons to 200,000 tons."

"Some copper ores were also found around. Geologists believe that some ground faults were caused by terrain changes. Yagur Mountain should have huge and abundant mineral resources. The emergence of copper ores and silver ores means that there may be some other mineral deposits and associated deposits, so everyone rushed over."

Du Lin listened with relish. Although he didn't understand at all, it did not hinder his desire for knowledge. "Does no one want to take it down?"

"Catch it?" Federley laughed loudly, "You are kidding, Dulin, a 120,000-ton silver mine. Even if the imperial official forcibly occupied the mine, it may not last much time. This means a huge amount of wealth, and anyone who wants to take it will only be washed away by others."

At present, the silver price in the Western world is very stable. According to the exchange rate of the empire, one empire star dollar can purchase four grams of finished sterling silver. If a silver mine with a reserve of 120,000 tons is fully excavated and purified into a finished product, the total price is about 30 billion!

This is a number that makes everyone crazy, so any individual or group who wants to occupy this mine alone will be wiped out by some thugs who are blinded by wealth and have been crazy. There are 30 billion yuan. Since the New Party came on stage, they have not collected so much taxes!

There is also a good chalcopyr mine next to it, and there are some other small mining areas nearby, which are very likely to be hidden in other types of huge rich mines. Under the auspices of the Western Mining Association, Yagur Mountain has become a "public mining area". Anyone or any group can go to mine.

The term public mining area first came from some depleted mineral deposits. After many low-reserved mining areas are completely exhausted, the mine owners will give up, and they will also give up the ownership of the area where the mining area is located. It is very unprofitable to buy land in the west without a mine. According to the current land use regulations of the empire, non-agricultural and residential land needs to be built after purchasing private ownership, and a certain number of jobs need to be solved according to some local standards.

If there is no mineral deposit in your land and you don’t give up, these miners will have to spend money to support a group of people. Regardless of whether they have something to do or not, they will have to transfer the designated "salary" into the designated account every month, otherwise they will face problems such as fines.

Therefore, once most mines have no mines to dig, the mine owners will immediately give up the ownership of the land and change from private land to public land. At this time, the mine on the land becomes a public mining area. The deposit is sometimes magical. It is not that it is really nothing left. Maybe digging here and digging there can be digging something out. In the past, some mine owners gave up the depleted mine and were dug out new veins, and there are quite a few.

Once it belongs to the public, it is not easy to buy it again.

This time, the huge silver mine discovered in Yagur Mountain was huge, no one dared to occupy it, and it could not afford it. It finally became a public mining area. It is said that more than 400,000 people have made a living in Yagur Mountain, and the short term from zero to 400,000 in just three months is definitely a terrifying growth rate. And because the news was not spread enough and the weather was too cold, many people have not yet passed. After the spring begins, I am afraid that the number of people there will exceed one million, or even more!

After chatting about the matter on Yagur Mountain for a while, Mr. Federley changed his subject and turned around to ask about the reasons for Dulin's development in the west. He and Dulin have known each other for three or four years, and they have been working happily. They can be said to have enough understanding of Dulin. In his opinion, Dulin's development in the west is purely a thankless thing. With the various disciplines currently running Dulin, it is much faster than mining, and has much greater prospects.

Mr. Federley's gold mine can produce about 400 to 500 pounds of pure gold every year, with a market value of about 1.2 million. He earned only more than 800,000 yuan in every cost, including the purchase of slaves and the formation of mine guards, and daily losses such as wages. Of course, he also has a gem mine. This money seems to be very much, much higher than the profits brought by some good industries of merchants, but compared to those tycoons and Dulin's smuggling business, this money is actually nothing.

Dulin's current private wine trade can bring him more than 400,000 yuan in net profit every month. His income in Audis City averages more than one million yuan per month, which does not include other income. Therefore, it is a very stupid investment to go to the west to mine. The biggest dream of these individual or collective miners in the west is to make a lot of money, and then leave the poor place in the west, which is full of dust, and go to the south to enjoy it.

Dulin did not give him a direct answer to Mr. Federley's doubts, because he himself did not have an accurate answer. He came here not to make money, but to his career.

"I don't have the time and energy to hire an exploration team to find veins for me everywhere. I plan to buy some directly and find new mines. There are a few places I think are good, not far from you." Dulin talked about the several mines he planned to buy. The more he heard Federley's face became stranger. Dulin soon noticed this. He stopped himself and looked at Federley, "If you have any experience to teach me, it would be my honor."

Federly struggled a little, and after a while he sighed, "For the sake of our good cooperation in the past, Dulin, I have to remind you that those who are willing to sell their industries to you are either in trouble in terms of funds or they have found new ways. If it is the latter, the problem will not be too big, but if it is the former, it may be a little trouble. You must know that this is the West, and the set you use in the civilized world is not very useful here."

"Here, people believe in 'the dead will not inform'. If you swallow your money and let you disappear forever, it has definitely happened more than once here!"

It is not impossible to encounter mine owners who collect money and do not give up the mine. These bloody mine owners and their subordinates are all the ones who dare to shoot for the sake of interests. If they really make a fuss to the point where war is needed, the state government will also ask about it, and this is not a good thing. At that time, a hat of illegal transactions will not only prevent their own money from being returned, but also face fines or even expulsions. The state governments of the three western states have always been such a bastard.

Oh no, this is not a bastard, it is a local protection policy!

Those miners who were slutty and earned money made money, and the state government obtained hundreds of thousands or millions of benefits through fines, and only outsiders were unlucky.

So there is a famous saying here - bullets are more effective than money.
