Chapter 14 Registration
"Contracting?" Yang Dongsheng walked to the bulletin board and couldn't help but glance at a few small hills not far away, which is the mine of Yangzhuang.

Mining and iron smelting started in the area of ​​Yangzhuang since the Western Han Dynasty. Almost all dynasties have set up iron smelting institutions. During the large-scale iron and steel smelting, it is said that hundreds of small blast furnaces were built. It's like a demon is coming.

But after all, it has been mined for more than 2000 years. The grade of iron ore in the Yangzhuang Mine has been getting lower and lower over the years. Last year, after working for a year, the income after selling the ore, minus wages, losses, and fuel consumption, was a loss.

Together, the village decided to carry out reforms in response to the call of the state and contract out the mine.

According to the announcement, the village divided the Yangzhuang Mine into six mining areas for this contract, and adopted a bidding system, with the highest price winning.

At this time, Yang Dongsheng also remembered one thing. The richest man in their village won the contract rights of all six mining areas this time. Since then, no one in the village can compete with him.

At this time, the owner of the restaurant shouted that the food was ready. Yang Dongsheng returned to the restaurant, poured the twice-cooked pork into the noodles, cleaned it up in two or three times, paid the bill, and then went straight to the small hills.

Staring intently at one of the small hills, the moving four-square frame appeared in front of him. Suddenly, Yang Dongsheng discovered that the square frame was more than ten times larger than when it appeared last time, covering almost the entire hill. , After selecting the small mountain bag, the detection depth also reached tens of meters.

"What have I been doing lately?"

Different from gold, most iron exists in the form of compounds in nature, such as ferric oxide, ferric oxide, iron disulfide... This is the case in the small hill in front of you, and besides these iron compounds, there is also copper , cobalt, gold, silver and other minerals, but the content is much lower than that of iron.

Yang Dongsheng selected various iron compounds, and a three-dimensional map appeared in front of him immediately, and he could see the strangely shaped ore veins buried underground, like flatbreads or potatoes.

Yang Dongsheng made a rough calculation, and the iron content in it is about 35% to 40%, which is really not high compared to those mines in Brazil and Australia with a grade of 50% or more than 60%, but this is already a high grade in China. of mines.

After looking through the six mining areas in turn, Yang Dongsheng already had an idea in his mind.

After returning from the mining area, Yang Dongsheng went straight to Yang Jiayun's house, knocked on the door, and Jiayun's mother opened the door and came out, "Dongsheng, don't you go to school?"

"Don't mention it! Auntie, is good luck here?"

"It's here!" Jiayun's mother hurriedly let Yang Dongsheng into the courtyard, and shouted in the direction of the main room as she walked, "Jiayun, Dongsheng is here."

Yang Jiayun came out of the house and asked as soon as they met, "Brother, why are you back?"

"I got into a fight with someone and got fired."

Yang Jiayun immediately rolled up his sleeves and was about to start, "Who, who hit you? Brother, tell me."

"No one hit me, I hit someone. Don't talk about this, do you still have the money?"

"Save it, didn't you tell me not to waste money?"

"Just keep it, remember I said I will bring you a fortune? Here comes the opportunity."

"Really, what is it?" Yang Jiayun rubbed his hands excitedly.

"The iron mine in the village has to be outsourced, and the accountant just posted the notice on the bulletin board."

Yang Dongsheng went to buy Hongtashan first, and then went straight to the village committee.

It is said that it is the village committee, but in fact it is in the home of Yang Wu, the village party secretary and director of the village committee. Yang Wu is in his fifties, and he is also the fifth in the family.

Yang Dongsheng and Yang Wu are considered to be a family, but the Yang family has been in Yangzhuang for hundreds of years, and nearly half of the people in the whole village are surnamed Yang, so the blood relationship has long been out of control.

As soon as he entered Yang Wu's house, he saw Yang Wu's son Yang Bao sitting under the grape trellis to enjoy the cool and eat melons.

"Uncle Bao, is Fifth Grandfather there?" Yang Dongsheng said.

"..." Yang Baochong pointed at the room, without looking at Yang Dongsheng and Yang Jiayun.

Yang Jiayun couldn't bear it immediately, and Yang Dongsheng grabbed him.

Yang Dongsheng's heart was also on fire, but the village party secretary in this era is the god of the village. Yang Baozi is far from being able to provoke Yang Dongsheng and the others because of his father.

Yang Dongsheng suppressed his anger.

Walking into the main room, I saw a figure with combed hair standing in the middle of the main room, with his back turned to them, fiddling with something.

Yang Dongsheng pulled Yang Jiayun, and the two shouted respectfully together, "Fifth Grandpa!"

In fact, Yang Dongsheng's father was called Yang Wu's fifth grandfather, although in terms of age, Yang Dongsheng's father was older than Yang Wu.

In the room besides Yang Wu, the accountant of the village, and a man in his 40s, who was sitting on a chair and reading a newspaper, this man was Yang Shan, the richest man in the village who had acquired all six mining areas in his previous life.

There are more than a dozen large glass jars in Yang Wu's house, filled with all kinds of weird things.

When Yang Dongsheng and Yang Jiayun came in, Yang Wu was fiddling with one of the jars. He closed the lid when he heard the sound, turned around and said, "Dongsheng, Jiayun, what's the matter with you?"

"We are here to sign up for the bidding." Yang Dongsheng put two red tower mountains on the table.

Yang Wu was taken aback, "What are you two brats doing? Especially you, Dongsheng! You have good grades, you should go to school, and the first college student of our old Yang family is counting on you. Otherwise, every time I see Yuan Jiacun That Yuan Laoliu, I can't even lift my face."

"Fifth Grandpa, you don't know that I got into a fight at school and was expelled. You should still count on my younger brother, who has better grades than me."

"Dismissed for fighting? Hey, even you can't go down!" Yang Wu sighed, but then he showed a look of course, "If people in our old Yang family don't fight, what kind of Yang family is it? I used to look at you Brothers only know how to read, I wonder if you are from Lao Yang's family."

Good grades are not like the old Yang's family, what kind of nonsense is this?
"Fifth Grandfather, I can't go to school now. Jiayun wants to be a soldier, but he is not qualified. We have to find a job for ourselves. We can't count on my father and Jiayun's father, right? Look, can we sign up? "

Yang Wuchong waved his hand at the accountant, "Register them."

When registering, Yang Dongsheng handed over a pack of Hongtashan to the accountant.
