Tian Erniu introduced his son to Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin, and then said to Tian Yuanshan: "Hurry up and salute Mr. Zhu and Mr. Liu!"
The identity of Emperor Hongzhi needs to be kept secret. Tian Erniu knew it, but could not leak it, so he called Emperor Hongzhi Mr. Zhu.
"I've met Mr. Zhu~"
"I've met Mr. Liu!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Yuanshan looked at his father's respectful attitude and quickly saluted respectfully.
"Um!"
Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin also smiled and nodded.
This Tian Yuanshan is really tall and tall, even taller and stronger than Tian Erniu. He is estimated to be at least two meters tall. He also looks more European. If he were not wearing the clothes of the Ming Dynasty, he was talking.
He speaks fluent Ming dialect, and you would think he is a European.
"Yuanshan, Mr. Zhu and Mr. Liu are both great benefactors of our Tian family. You must remember them firmly."
Tian Erniu looked at Tian Yuanshan's respectful look and nodded with satisfaction.
Tian Yuanshan was born to a European concubine of his, and he looked more European, so he had not been paid much attention by Tian Erniu, so he was assigned to this gold mine to be responsible for the mining of the gold mine.
But Tian Yuanshan is considered to be one of Tian Erniu's children who loves to study more. Although he is tall and tall, he follows Tian Erniu in mind and study. He loves reading and reading. He is still a scholar now.
, while guarding the mine, he was also studying hard and preparing for the imperial examination.
In addition, this Tian Yuanshan is also good at horseback archery. He is good at horseback archery and swordsmanship. He is also good at using muskets. He has the style of a gentleman in the Han Dynasty, but he does not look like the Ming Dynasty people. This makes Tian Erniu secretly
Pity.
For the people of Ming Dynasty, this point is still very important.
The same is true for Zhao Nan, the waiter at Zhiwei Restaurant. Because he doesn't look like a Ming Dynasty person, his family doesn't pay much attention to it and can only be a waiter. If he looks like a Ming Dynasty person, he would probably have gone to take care of the family business.
.
"Benefactor!"
Upon hearing this, Tian Yuanshan saluted respectfully again.
"Okay, okay, good, good!"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded. The boy was quite nice and polite, like a scholar.
"I heard from your father that you are still a scholar and have achieved fame?"
Liu Jin looked at Tian Yuanshan. Tian Yuanshan was already seventeen years old. This reminded Liu Jin that he was the same age when he had just traveled through time and was also a scholar.
"My benefactor is laughed at because of his lack of talent and lack of knowledge."
Tian Yuanshan replied modestly,
"Well, study hard and maybe we will have a chance to meet again in the future."
Liu Jin smiled and nodded encouragingly.
"Yes, benefactor!"
Tian Yuanshan quickly replied respectfully again.
Under the leadership of Tian Yuanshan, everyone walked towards the mine.
"Is everything going well at the mine?"
While walking, Tian Erniu also asked about things in the mine.
"Back to dad, everything went well!"
Tian Yuanshan quickly replied respectfully.
"Well, that's good, that's good."
Tian Erniu nodded with satisfaction. Tian Erniu felt reassured by his son's work.
Soon, everyone arrived at the mine. Many children were very happy, eating candies one by one and looking at Emperor Hongzhi, Liu Jin, Tian Erniu and others.
As for the slaves here in the mine, when they saw Tian Erniu coming, they all said hello respectfully: "How are you, Mr. Tian? How are you, Mr. Tian!"
"Um!"
Tian Erniu smiled and nodded in response.
Liu Jin looked at these slaves carefully and could tell that these slaves seemed to be living a pretty good life.
All of them are physically strong and seem to be in good spirits.
Although they are all Europeans, they look like people from the Ming Dynasty. They have short hair, shaved beards, and are wearing shorts and working hard to wash gold.
"Is it mining for gold if you wash it around like this?"
Emperor Hongzhi watched with great curiosity the many slaves busy working by the river. It was very different from the gold mining scene he had imagined.
Emperor Hongzhi originally thought that this gold mine was a very large gold mine. Through continuous excavation, the gold was dug out, but who knew that he actually washed it back and forth in the river with large iron basins.
"Mr. Zhu, this is indeed gold laundering."
"Gold is contained in the soil and sand. It needs to be washed out through this method."
Tian Erniu also explained quickly.
"It turns out that this is how gold mines are opened. I always thought that gold mines are similar to iron ores. They have to be dug out and then smelted out. But this is how gold mines are opened."
"How much gold can be washed out in one day by washing and washing?"
Emperor Hongzhi was very curious and came in to take a closer look at the busy slaves.
Watching the slave pour a large piece of mud into the iron basin, and by constantly washing the minerals back and forth, the mud, sand, etc. are constantly washed away, and finally a little bit of stuff is left. If you look carefully, you can see that there are little bits of dirt inside.
Golden little highlights.
The slave carefully and carefully selected the gold and put it into a bag. At the end of each day's work, he had to hand the bag to Tian Yuanshan, the manager of the gold farm.
Tian Yuanshan will smelt these gold sands into gold nuggets, and wait for Tian Erniu to come and harvest them regularly.
It can be said that mining gold mines does not have much technical content. It is purely physical work and requires manual labor to wash it slowly.
"This gold mine is very different from iron ore. The gold is not mixed with other metals. It exists in the form of separate gold sand or small gold nuggets."
"So gold washing is a very cumbersome process, and it needs to be washed repeatedly before the gold can be washed out."
Tian Erniu explained.
"I see, it's an eye-opener and a gain in knowledge."
"If you put it this way, this gold mine is actually a gold mine if you find that there is gold in the soil in a place?"
Emperor Hongzhi finally understood and said quickly.
"Yes~"
"When I first arrived in Huangjin Continent, there were gold mines everywhere in Huangjin Continent. Many river beds and lakes were often covered with a thick layer of golden sand. Under the sunlight, the entire river or lake was covered with gold.
A piece of gold."
"That kind of gold mine is a super big gold mine, and a lot of gold sand can be washed out easily."
"But now it has been exploited to a great extent."
"It's considered good if you can find gold sands now. The natural mining value of high content is high."
Tian Erniu nodded and said.
"Master Tian~"
"My wife gave birth to a son for me and asked me to help him name it."
While Emperor Hongzhi was chatting with Tian Erniu and others, a slave came over with his wife and a child in his arms, and said to Tian Erniu with a happy face.
"Yeah~"
"Congratulations, you gave birth to a son."
When Tian Erniu heard this, he immediately laughed and looked at the little guy he held over. He was plump, with blond hair and blue eyes. He was very cute.
"Let's call him Tian Qin, which means you have to be diligent in doing things."
Tian Erniu thought for a while and said.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"
After receiving the title from Tian Erniu, the slave and his wife were happy and thanked them repeatedly.
He was originally a Slav from Eastern Europe and a serf. He lived a very hard life. Later, he was captured by the Tatars of the Crimean Khanate and sold as a slave to the Ming Dynasty. Finally, he was bought by Tian Erniu.
He came back and became a slave to work here.
Because of his good performance, Tian Erniu also bought a female slave and married him, forming a slave family, and now they have children.
His daily job is to go to the mine to launder gold, while the woman is responsible for farming, washing clothes, etc. She has her own house and some of her own property.
This little life is much more comfortable than when I was a serf before. At least here I can have enough to eat, wear warm clothes, and have a woman to warm my bed and give birth to children.
Although he is a slave of the Tian family, his life as a slave is quite good.
Many slaves have already given birth to several children. No one thinks there is anything wrong with being a slave. Being a serf in your hometown is not just as tiring and tiring. You are also a slave, but you don't have enough to eat and it's cold in winter.
to death.
It's better to stay here, rest every day at sunrise and sunset, it's simple and fulfilling. As for other things, don't think too much about it. It's very important to position yourself correctly and understand your situation.
Master Tian treats them very well. He rarely beats or scolds the slaves. Food is guaranteed and they often have meat to eat, so there is nothing left to be dissatisfied with.
These slaves can work and work as slaves here peacefully, largely because the life here is much better than when they were in Europe.
If you are well fed, clothed and warm, work hard and be rewarded by a slave girl, you can still have children. Once you have a child, you don’t have to worry about work. You can just continue working for Mr. Tian’s family.
"Well, go ahead, go ahead!"
Tian Erniu waved his hand with satisfaction, then looked at the many slaves working and said: "We will give you extra food today. Let's eat mutton!"
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!
Upon hearing this, many slaves also hurriedly said.
