Chapter 1030 Gold Rush Rising

News of the discovery of the gold mine soon spread in Kingsoft County.

Two days later, nearly 10,000 men, women, young and old in Jinshan County went out to the riverside.

On both sides of the river, there were crowds of onlookers standing, and they were talking and watching the county soldiers who were entering the water.

Shi Kai and Zhao Ming stood on the shore, looking a little impatient.

Finally, a county soldier came ashore with a dustpan. Zhao Ming hurriedly took it and handed it to Shi Kai.

At this time, Shi Kai grabbed a large handful of sand and washed it, and it contained at least 20% of the golden sand.

Shi Kai's face turned a little red, and he suddenly raised his arms and shouted: "Jinsha, we have found Jinsha!"

Cheers on the river bank and thought of the excitement of the crowd hugging each other and jumping like crazy.

The Liu brothers hugged each other, "Second brother, I'm really out of here."

"Wuwu! You can finally repay the debt!" Liu Zhongxia cried bitterly.

A large group of men excitedly took the dustpan and rushed into the river. Regardless of the loss of clothes, they began to wash the golden sand crazily.

Shikaize organized county soldiers to build strongholds near the river bank and prepare to monitor the mine.

The news of the discovery of the gold mine is exciting. All the cadres from Jinshan County come to hunt for gold, but they do not have a license. Ninety percent of the gold sand they have found will be handed over to the county magistrate. It is impossible not to pay it back. The guns and cannons are in the hands of Shi Kai.

There are fewer people now, and when there are more people trying to find gold in the future, the proportion of paying will only be higher. Unless you get a license, you only need to pay 70% of it.

However, after applying for this license, it would take 10,000 taels of gold. Everyone was all over the bank and had no money to apply for a license and could not organize their own mining team.

The Liu brothers led their tribe members to soak in the water for a few days, but there was not much golden sand in their hands.

At this time, after Jiang Jiaren obtained the license, he exchanged a large amount of supplies in Jinshan City with the goldware he brought, and returned to the tribe.

A few days later, when he appeared again, more than two hundred Yin men and women were followed by him.

They first built camps nearby and then joined the gold rush.

Now the people in Kingsoft County already know that the real gold mine should be in the mountains upstream, but there are other tribes there, and it is inconvenient to mine and transport, so they did not explore the upstream for the time being, but instead searched for gold in the river first.

At this time, the river section where Jinsha exists is very long, but there are very few people mining, so the appearance of more than 200 Yin people cannot affect the people who are trying to find gold, and there is no conflict between the two sides.

When Shi Kai saw Jiang Jiaren bringing so many people to find gold, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Just give him a license, and Shi Kai shouldn't be exempted from tax.

This was also the first time I became a prefect, and I had no experience and was too excited, so I made a wrong decision.

Shi Kai originally considered that selling licenses could make a fortune, and in the future he would directly collect taxes from the licensed mining team or mines. He only needed to manage it without having to organize mining in person, which would give him more energy to manage Kingsoft County.

At this time, Shi Kai took Zhao Ming to Jiang Jiaren's mining area and smiled and said, "Mr. Jiang, where did you find so many people?"

Jiang Jiaren explained to Shi Kai and said his energy, which was amazing.

Shi Kai, Zhao Ming and others saw a beautiful Yin woman serving Jiang Jiaren, stretching out her slender arms and wiping sweat on Mr. Jiang without hesitation. They were envious.

At this time, Shi Kai and Jiang Jiaren laughed and coughed, and said the main topic, "Haha, what! Mr. Jiang, today, there is something to discuss with you. I just discovered the gold mine, and the county's policies are not perfect..."

After all, Jiang Jiaren was a Jinshi and was an official. Without Shi Kaiming's words, he took the initiative to say: "Don't worry, my mining team will not expand for the time being. Even if it expands in the future, the miners' income will be consistent with the county!"

After hearing this, Shi Kai immediately felt relieved, "Haha... Jiang Yuanwai was a Jinshi in the previous dynasty. He was well-educated and talented. He was the talent needed by the county. I wonder if Jiang Yuanwai was willing to be a senator of the county and assist the county in formulating relevant regulations and laws and regulations to help the county govern Jinshan!"

When developing overseas, Gan Chao was not experienced enough, so Gao Huan once told Shi Kai that he could learn from the experience of Western barbarians and give him a high degree of autonomy. The counties and states only need to pay taxes from the central government, and diplomacy is consistent with the central government.

Because it was far away in Yinzhou, the deterrence of Ganchao was reduced. If Shi Kaiyao wanted to rule Jinshan, it needed some of the immigrants' support. The county sucked the patriarchs and powerful merchants into the council to negotiate the county affairs, balance the interests of all parties, and achieve stability within the county.

Jiang Jiaren naturally had no objection and immediately smiled and said, "Dare you not obeying your order!"

In the distance, when the Liu brothers saw this scene, they saw the female chief sweating for Jiang Jiaren in front of so many people and dressed less, and they couldn't help but get angry.

"Second brother, I'm so angry. Look at that gentle scum, I forgot all our sister and nephew!" Liu Jiqiu threw the dustpan into the water.

"Bah!" Liu Zhongxia also cursed angrily: "This hypocritical Chen Shimei, who abandoned her wife and children!"

The Liu brothers couldn't stand Jiang Jiaren's behavior, but they cursed him. That night, the two brothers came over with gifts.

All of this is naturally because Jiang Jiaren has a license and does not have to pay taxes for a year. He will pay him any amount of gold mines, unlike them who want to hand over 90% to the county.

Now I have to apply for a license, which costs 10,000 taels of gold. The Liu brothers are in debt, so naturally they don’t have the money to apply for the certificate. The county may issue some free licenses to some veterans, but they are not the turn.

Therefore, for the Liu brothers, the best way is to defect to Jiang Jiaren.

After all, they were relatives. Just like in the Ming Dynasty, they could avoid taxes by placing their land under his name. They followed Jiang Jiaren to mine, and they would have no need to hand over 90% of the golden sand to the county.

"Haha, brother-in-law! This is the fish we bring to you, so you can replenish your body!"

"Yes! Brother-in-law, you don't look very good. My sister and nephew are still waiting for you in their hometown!" The Liu brothers played the card of family affection.

"Hmph!" Jiang Jiaren snorted coldly, not taking their tricks at all, "I am not your brother-in-law!"

Jiang Jiaren still resented the two of them who drove him out. If it weren't for A Lian, he might have been dead.

The Liu brothers knelt on the ground, each of them hugged one of their thighs, and burst into tears, "Brother-in-law, we are not human. For the sake of our sister and nephew, just forgive us! We will listen to our brother-in-law from now on..."

Seeing the two incompetent brother-in-law begging hard, Jiang Jiaren felt relieved and told you to look down on me.

He waited for the two of them to beg for a while, and then he let out a sigh, "Forget it, I said I would take you to make a fortune. A gentleman's word is as good as he can, otherwise it would be better to explain it to your sister."

Liu Zhongxia and Liu Jiqiu were overjoyed when they heard this, "I knew my brother-in-law would take us, so we will bring our tribe members here tomorrow and work for you brother-in-law!"

Jiang Jiaren shook his head, "I'm afraid this won't work. The county magistrate has explained to me that my mining team cannot expand the number of people for the time being, and you cannot come here for the time being!"

The Liu brothers were stunned when they heard the words, their faces a little ugly.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiaren despised him: "You are just thinking hard, no wonder you can't make a fortune."

Liu Zhongxia complained: "If you don't take us, brother-in-law, how can we get rich!"

Jiang Jiaren smiled mysteriously, "Who said I won't take you? Now I will give you a clear path. Now there are so many people mining, should I eat and consume? In the future, there will only be more and more people mining, and I will teach you?"

Liu Zhongxia and Liu Jiqiu looked at each other, understood Jiang Jiaren's reminder, and immediately his eyes shone, and he smiled and said, "Brother-in-law is wise!"

The three of them were talking, and A Lian had already walked in and was about to collect public food.

A Lian is good at everything, but she is too unrestrained and does not accept the constraints of the education. She does it whenever she wants, and does not pay attention to the occasion. This makes Jiang Jiaren very distressed and shy, and can't stand this developed sexual concept.

Seeing this, Jiang Jiaren said seriously: "You go back first, I'm going to rest."
