Zhenfeng County in the central part of southwestern Guizhou is a relatively barren place under Shizhen's jurisdiction. The climate here is mild, with no severe cold in winter and no harsh summers. On more than a thousand square kilometers of land, Buyi, Miao, Hui, and Gelao people live scattered.
, Yao people and more than ten ethnic groups, although Zhenfeng County has Huangguoshu Waterfall, Liupanjiang Canyon, Anlong Zhaodi and other scenic spots far and near, but in this era when eating is a problem, it is of no practical use at all.
Since Shi Zhen followed the example of southern Sichuan in western Guizhou and established various levels of political power and implemented effective rule in counties and villages, this area with mixed ethnic groups and frequent bandits and rebellions has become stable and prosperous. Governments at all levels have been established by local elders.
In the parliament formed, government officials mainly graduated from Sichuan University of Political Science and Law, Xufu Polytechnic University and Xufu Vocational College. After being certified and proven to be indeed capable, they can only be regularized after voting and approval by parliaments at all levels.
Among them, since 2028, orphans adopted by An Yi from all over the country have gradually entered the workplace and performed extremely well. They graduated from the Boy Scout Academy and entered various universities and vocational schools to study. After systematic training, some of them
They were assigned to various places in western Hunan, western and northern Guizhou, southern Yunnan and southern Sichuan to enrich the local civil servants. Many of them have become the backbone of cadres in towns, towns, counties and cities.
This morning, Chang'an Aiguo, from Shaping Township, Zhenfeng County, got up early, rode his "Forever" brand 28-lap bicycle produced by Xufu Bicycle Factory, which he spent two months' salary to buy, and went to Baini Tianzhai under the jurisdiction of his hometown.
have a look.
An Aiguo was an orphan taken in by the Yellow River when the Japanese army entered Shandong in 2008. He was twelve years old at the time, and his parents died tragically at the hands of bandits when his village was surrounded.
"Foot Sheep". The An family army's magic soldiers descended from the sky and quickly wiped out the bandits, and rescued more than 20 children who had the same experience.
An Aiguo will never forget. An Yi, who was still the commander of the *** division at the time, was furious when he saw the tragic corpses in the village. He ordered the *** regiment where the model camp was located to suppress the bandits with all their strength. He could not let a bandit harm the villagers again.
, then An Yi led a large group of children to his division headquarters, arranged gruel, and fed the dying children, including himself, one by one.
In this way, an orphan with a bleak future finally ushered in the light of life. From that moment on, An Aiguo made up his mind to devote his life to An Yi, who saved him from fire and water.
Later, An Aiguo was sent to Old Nanchang together with a large group of fatherless and motherless orphans to study in the Boy Scout Military Academy. Later, the size of the Boy Scout Military Academy became larger and larger. By the end of the Central Plains War, there were already five to six thousand people.
The military academy also gradually became formal and orderly from a simple orphanage at the beginning, and finally adopted full military management as a management method, forming a complete set of rules and regulations.
The Boy Scout School, like all schools established under the control of Anjiajun, is not divided into male and female departments. Instead, male and female students receive military cultural training together.
After the wake-up call is blown at 6:30 in the morning, students must tidy up their personal hygiene within half an hour, and then line up to gather in the large gymnasium for queue and regular movement training to cultivate the students' collective concept. The training ends at 7:30, and there are five
Minutes of rest time, and then go to the cafeteria for breakfast. Enter the classroom for morning reading at 8 o'clock, and officially start class at 8:30. There are four cultural classes in the morning. The junior class learns Chinese, mathematics, art and music, and the advanced class has more subjects such as physics and chemistry.
, there are even elective courses such as foreign languages, lunch at 12 noon, lunch break at 12:30, and two cultural classes starting at 1:30 in the afternoon, followed by military skills training time, including shooting, assassination, bombing, demolition, civil work, etc.
The content runs through it. Dinner and *** activities start at six o'clock, and study starts at seven o'clock. The content is to recall the bitterness and sweetness, learn the spirit of the model camp, analyze the current international situation, etc. Every student of the Boy Scout School has
They must speak to explain their own thoughts and understandings, so the students who graduated from the Boy Scout Academy have a strong centripetal force and cohesion towards An Jiajun.
By the 1930s, after the Boy Scouts School moved from Lao Nanchang to Xufu, the number of adopted orphans continued to increase. In addition, military and political leaders at all levels liked to send their children to military schools to study. One school was overwhelmed, so it was divided into Cui
Ping, Fenghuang, and Yingpan campuses were established. Later, the Southern Yunnan Reclamation Zone was established, and the Simao branch was established. Up to now, many of the Boy Scout School students who graduated from various universities have returned to the Boy Scout School to teach, which has greatly improved the teaching staff of the Boy Scout School.
The level of ideological and military education has reached a new level.
An Aiguo graduated from the Boy Scout Academy in 2003 and received his diploma from the Polytechnic University in 2005. He was then assigned to Zhenfeng County in western Guizhou. After working as a county correspondent for two months, he went to Shaping Township to become a cadre in charge of civil affairs.
Last year, as the township head was promoted to the county government, An Aiguo was appointed as the township head. After a three-month appointment period, he was voted by the township council and officially became the township head.
Today An Aiguo is going to visit Bainitian Dazhai under the jurisdiction of Shaping Township. This village is a Yao village. It is said that a fellow there picked up a large piece of golden rock while hunting in Lannigou. He thought it was gold and took it back.
An Aiguo came to his home, but after being tested by experienced leaders and village elders, they all denied that it was gold, but they did not know what kind of metal it was, so he was reported to the village by the representative stationed in the village. An Aiguo studied geological exploration at the Polytechnic.
In recent years, as the number of graduates of this major has gradually increased, the demand in the geological exploration department has become saturated, so they are assigned to Zhenfeng County to work in politics.
An Aiguo arrived at Bainitian Dazhai and was warmly received by the leaders and village elders. Due to the abolition of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, life in Yao Village has become much better. In addition, the government has unified sales of Chinese herbal medicine and agricultural and sideline products produced in the village. The connection between the village and the government
As they become increasingly close, it is not surprising that An Aiguo is treated with courtesy.
"Uncle Fang, can you let me see that strange stone?" After a few sips of sweet glutinous rice wine, An Aiguo couldn't wait to make his request.
The leader, Lao Fang, smiled and said: "Mr. An, we have identified that stone. It looks like copper but not copper. The texture is very strange, but it can be confirmed that it is not gold. In the early years, we picked up a dog head in the Lannigou area.
Gold, but it is now difficult to find it. Due to extreme disappointment, the person who discovered the stone, Fang Danian, threw it into the ditch in front of the village. If you want it, I will have it delivered."
An Aiguo nodded quickly: "Okay, Old Uncle Fang, I studied geology when I was in school, and I am most interested in various ores. If a high-quality mine is found near your village, whether it is gold, silver, copper, iron, or
For other mineral deposits, your Yao Village and several nearby villages will undergo great development and changes in the future."
Lao Fang was very happy and immediately assigned people to pick up the stones. An Aiguo briefly chatted with Li Dongmin, the representative stationed in the village, about the current situation of the village. Li Dongmin is also a Yao nationality, but he is from Youmai Township, Wangmo County. He once worked as a security guard in Shizhen
He served as a soldier in the army and was assigned to Bainitian Dazhai after retirement. He became a representative in the village, publicizing government decisions and solving practical difficulties faced by the village. It can be said that it is a concrete manifestation of the government's power to penetrate into the village level. Now each village is allocated
A tube radio was placed in Li Dongmin's bamboo house. In the evening, when the villagers had nothing to do, they would gather in the small bamboo house and listen quietly to the broadcasts of the Southern Sichuan Radio Station. Many new things they had never heard before could be heard without leaving the house.
In the hearts of the Yao people in the village, their recognition of An Jiajun has increased a bit.
Not long after, a stone the size of a watermelon with an uneven surface full of pores was presented to An Aiguo.
An Aiguo took out the magnifying glass he carried with him and observed it carefully. The leader and several village elders gathered around and carefully thought about what this stone was and why An Aiguo paid so much attention to it.
After a quarter of an hour, An Aiguo put down the magnifying glass, took out a small hammer and started tapping on the surface of the stone. Soon some fine powder fell down. An Aiguo used a small brush to sweep the powder into the palm of his left hand, and picked up the magnifying glass again.
Observe, and finally said with some uncertainty:
"It looks a lot like gold, but the particles of this gold are very small and almost invisible to the naked eye. In addition, this area is full of karst topography, with prominent karst phenomena and limestone and metal condensed together, so I am not sure.
.When I take it back and give it to the higher-level research department for testing, I can tell you what it is."
Village boss Lao Li looked surprised: "Gold? It doesn't look like it. I picked up nugget gold in the early years. The golden and soft feeling is definitely not comparable to this rotten stone. Unfortunately, the old man and I picked up gold nuggets."
When I went to the county town with my gold nugget to exchange for rice and salt, I was discovered by the head of a regiment of Tang Jiyao's regiment of the Yunnan Army stationed in the county town, and he forcibly snatched me away. The old man and I returned to the village and lay there for half a year before we finally recovered."
Lao Fang echoed: "Yes, my father suffered from injuries and illnesses because of that beating. He passed away ten years ago after passing on the position of leader to me. Fortunately, your Anjia army drove away the evil warlords and implemented a series of
It’s a good policy to benefit the people, otherwise our folks would not be able to live a good life! By the way, Patriot, do you think this thing is really likely to be valuable?”
An Aiguo shook his head: "Old Uncle Li, Old Uncle Fang, detecting metal properties requires a lot of precision instruments and equipment, which are not available in the countryside or county. I don't know if these things are worth anything. But the uncles
You can rest assured that if this thing is of great value, our government will not embezzle everyone's money, and there will definitely be a large amount of compensation... Let's do this, old Uncle Fang, old Uncle Li, go and get Fang Danian
Call me over and take me to the place where I picked up this piece of ore to see if there may be new discoveries."
Li Dongmin said with some regret: "Fang Danian is in good physical condition. After many rounds of selection, he entered the militia brigade of Zhenfeng County. He went out for training and will probably not come back until the Spring Festival.
Lao Fang waved his hand: "It's okay. We all know the place where the boy picked up the ore. Let us old guys take you to see it later! But that place is not easy to get around, so we have to prepare carefully.
Otherwise, you will be in trouble if you encounter wolves and ferocious beasts. The most terrifying thing is the python. If you are not fully prepared, you will not be able to rescue if it is swallowed by the python."
An Aiguo was secretly shocked when he heard this, and quickly stood up to express his thanks.
Li Dongmin smiled and said: "I won't go as long as Lao Fang and the others lead the way. It happens that you are going to Lannigou. It is inaccessible and there are no bicycles there. I will borrow it to go shopping in the countryside. I hope you can
Return in triumph."
"It's okay, you can go. We old guys happened to be walking around, so we thought we were going hunting!" Lao Fang said impatiently, then went out to call a few people, whispered instructions, and quickly gathered a team
The hunting team of more than ten people distributed waist knives and gunshots, and brought an iron pot and rice grain. Then, together with several village elders, they led a few hunting dogs and led An Aiguo on the road.
Along the way, the mountains were high and the forests were dense, and hunting dogs often roamed in front and behind the team. A dozen Yao men walked in front with machetes. When they encountered areas with dense trees and thorns, they would wave their machetes and carve out a path alive.
It was already noon by the time we arrived at Lanni ditch five miles to the west.
The leader, Lao Fang, was not in a hurry. After setting up camp, he detached some of his men to go hunting, and then directed other young men to collect firewood and make a fire for cooking. An Aiguo, under the guidance of several village elders, came to a creek. Lao Li
Pointing to the gurgling stream, he said that the golden stone was found here, and that his gold nugget was also found in this ditch after a flood.
An Aiguo nodded, jumped up to a hill of more than ten meters high in front of the creek, then took out a telescope from his backpack and carefully observed the environment near and far.
Although the entire mountain is lush and green, you can still clearly feel many differences from the growth of forest trees and weeds. The entire mountain is bounded by a stream, and there are almost no tall trees on the opposite side. All are weeds and shrubs.
In some places, there is no grass growing, and the exposed soil shows a strange gray-white color.
An Aiguo was greatly excited. Certain metals can affect the growth of animals and plants, which is also one of the signs of huge mineral deposits. From the distinct distribution of plants on this mountain, there must be good things underground over the creek, and Lao Li harvested
The nugget gold and the metal nuggets picked up by Fang Danian were most likely washed down from the opposite mountain after a flash flood. In other words, the stones in the stream were very good ore specimens.
Thinking of this, An Aiguo quickly put down his telescope, stepped back from the hill, jumped into the knee-deep stream, and picked up rock specimens from the clear stream. Seeing this, several village elders also jumped down to help, until Lao Fang came.
After greeting each other for dinner, the group of people returned to their temporary base still unfinished.
Lunch was very sumptuous, including fragrant bamboo tube rice with roasted pheasant, roasted goat meat, and fresh fish, mushroom and bamboo shoot soup cooked in an iron pot. However, An Aiguo didn't enjoy it as he was thinking about the mineral deposits underground across the creek, so he finished it hastily.
, then picked up the backpack and set off.
Lao Fang was deeply moved and directed a group of young people to quickly put out the bonfire, pack the tableware and prey, and follow An Aiguo across the stream to collect rock specimens on the opposite mountain. In the afternoon, with everyone's full cooperation, not only An Aiguo's backpack stuffed
It was so full that even the bamboo baskets carried by Lao Fang and the others were filled with various stones.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, everyone set off on the return journey and went back to Yao Village after a lot of effort. An Aiguo declined Lao Fang's invitation to dinner, called Li Dongmin, and asked Lao Fang to assign more than ten Yao family members.
The young man helped and transported all the ore specimens back to the countryside.
Returning to the township government, An Aiguo quickly reported his findings to his superiors. Soon, people from the Southern Sichuan Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources came and took away all the ore specimens.
Half a month later, An Aiguo, who was waiting hard for the test results, welcomed a survey team of hundreds of people sent by the Institute of Geology, and then went to Lannigou for an on-site inspection. According to the chief engineer who led the team, geological expert Zu Kezhen
According to the professor, this place is most likely the location of a large-scale micro-disseminated primary gold mine. The gold exists in extremely small particles in the ore and must be extracted through special techniques. As for the creek mentioned by An Aiguo
The difficulty in growing vegetation on the mountain opposite is probably related to the mercury mine associated with the gold mine.
An Aiguo was overjoyed. He didn't need to understand the specific gold refining technology. Since his superiors were willing to send such a large team, it showed that they still attached great importance to the gold mine in Lannigou, and the related technical problems must have been overcome. Now he is most concerned about it.
What is important is the size of this mineral deposit, which will directly affect the economic situation of Zhenfeng County, Shaping Township, and even Anjiajun.
After nearly a month of investigation by the geological survey team, they finally came to a more intuitive conclusion:
The reserves of gold and mercury in Lannigou are extremely rich. Leaving aside mercury, it is preliminarily determined that the gold reserves in this place are more than 150 tons. Although the average grade of the deposit is about six grams, which means that on average, each ton of ore can only produce
It only costs six grams of gold, but the advantage lies in its huge scale. Once developed, the prospects are limitless.
An Aiguo estimated in his mind that the total value of such a large gold mine is about 300 to 400 million U.S. dollars. For the current An Jiajun, it is really a huge fortune. He couldn't help but shout in his heart: developed!
The same situation as An Aiguo's discovery was found in Tuobuka by the Jinsha River. This place was originally covered with virgin forest. Due to the accidental discovery by a survey team of the Institute of Geology and Mineral Resources, it has also become an area of focus for the entire Anjia Army's senior leadership.
The proven reserves of the Tobuka gold mine are about 130 tons, with a grade of between four and eight grams per ton. Since the relevant mining technology is only mastered by Anjiajun’s Institute of Geology, two copies were received in Kunming.
After the report, An Yi immediately proposed to Zhu Peide the proposal to cooperate with the Yunnan Provincial Government to develop the Tuobuka gold mine.
Zhu Peide, who was suffering from financial problems, was overjoyed. He immediately stated that the Yunnan Provincial Government would provide land and manpower, and southern Sichuan would provide technology and machinery. The initial goal was to achieve a gold production of seven to twelve tons within one year, and it would increase year by year thereafter, within five to eight years.
Complete all mining.
The discovery and mining of the Lannigou gold mine in western Guizhou and the Tuobuka gold mine in Kunming greatly alleviated the huge financial pressure on An Yi and provided great financial support for the entire southwest's anti-Japanese preparations. It can be said that God bless China.
