Chapter 285 Jiapigou Gold Mine

"Hey, thank you sir.

As long as I'm sure that's the person I'm looking for and can strike up a few words with him, that's all. I don't do anything else, so I won't cause trouble for you. "

Of course Sheng Xiping knew the concerns of the Su family.

After all, Chen Ruiqing has a special status. At this time, no one wants to get involved, and it is easy to get into trouble.

The conversation came to an end here and could not be mentioned again, so everyone changed the topic and asked about the Maekawa Forest Farm.

After all, Su Mingchang had been working at the Qianchuan Forest Farm for many years and got along well with many people, so he had to ask about news about his old friends.

Sheng Xiping told the Su family everything he knew.

Everyone was drinking and chatting, and by the time they finished eating, it was already getting late.

The Su family had to hold a happy event tomorrow, and there were a lot of things to do, so they quickly cleaned up the house and prepared to rest.

The Su family has a lot of guests today, and the three rooms in the house only have two kang beds, which is not enough to live in.

Originally, Sheng Xiping said that he wanted to stay in a guest house, but Su Mingchang refused and arranged for him to stay at a neighbor's house for one night.

August 15th was the official day of Su Jingsheng's wedding. The Su family started getting busy early in the morning.

Sheng Xiping couldn't go to pick up the bride, so he helped out at Su's house.

From seven or eight o'clock in the morning, the Su family started to be busy. It was not until Su Jingsheng picked up his daughter-in-law that there was a blessing ceremony, a ceremony, and a banquet. Then everyone sat down to drink and eat in peace.

"Zhao Er, Qiao Er, this is Jing Sheng's little buddy, who came specially from Songjianghe Forestry Bureau to congratulate you.

Well, why don't you sit down together and have a few drinks with Xiping. "

Before the banquet started, Su Mingchang specially arranged Sheng Xiping to sit at the table on the kang in the east room, and also specially introduced Sheng Xiping's identity to everyone.

"You don't know that Xiping's father-in-law is the same Zhou Gong who went abroad with the provincial leaders last year to inspect."

"Hey, it turns out he's Zhou Gong's uncle, I'm disrespectful.

We all know the name of Zhou Gong, especially several articles he wrote. We have all studied them and they are particularly good. "

Logically speaking, Sheng Xiping came to sit at the same table with a group of farm directors and secretaries as a person. He was not a little bit different. At first, people didn't take him seriously.

But once they heard that Sheng Xiping was Zhou Mingyuan's uncle, everyone's attitude immediately changed.

You know, Zhou Mingyuan is now a celebrity in the entire provincial forestry system.

Since he returned from an overseas inspection last year, he has written many articles on forestry development, which has been unanimously praised by his superiors.

Zhou Mingyuan's articles were treated as internal documents and were circulated to all forestry bureaus for study after publication.

Anyone with eyes knows that Zhou Mingyuan has a bright future, and if he can't guarantee it, he will be transferred to the province to take up an important position.

The person in front of me is the uncle of Zhou Mingyuan's family. Not to mention fawning, it is definitely a good thing to have a chance to make friends with him.

In these days and months, who knows who can be used in the future? If you form a good relationship, you will be able to use it in the future.

Everyone expressed their goodwill to Sheng Xiping, and Sheng Xiping was very humble and polite. He lit cigarettes and toasted to the leaders at the table, which was very attentive.

After a while, I was chatting with the people at this table.

Only then did Sheng Xiping know that the two people sitting next to him were Zhao Minchu, the secretary of Huangnihe Forestry Farm, and Qiao, the farm director Qiao Yongliang.

It was obvious that Su Mingchang put him at this table to let Sheng Xiping get in touch with these two people so that he could inquire about Chen Ruiqing's affairs.

I don’t know if Northeasterners are the best at connecting emotions at the wine table. Anyway, halfway through the drink, Sheng Xiping had already had a very good chat with Qiao and Zhao.

Qiao Yongliang put his arm around Sheng Xiping's shoulders and held a wine glass with the other, touching Sheng Xiping again.

"Xiping, you are a few years younger than me, I will call you brother.

We didn't know each other before, but when I drank and chatted with you today, I found that you are a really nice little brother, and you are very crisp in your words and actions. I have always been rare for such a person.

Brother, how long can you stay here this time? If nothing happens, come with me to our forest farm to stay for a few days in the afternoon.

Let me tell you, the scenery in our forest farm is getting better. "

Qiao Yongliang didn't know whether he was sincere or fake, but he enthusiastically invited Sheng Xiping to come and play.

"Yes, yes, what Yongliang said is that our place is more interesting than the Forestry Bureau.

Both the big and small Huangni Rivers pass through our forest farm. Our place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, surrounded by large forests, and there are many kinds of game.

At that time, I will ask our employees who are good at hunting to go into the mountains and hunt a roe deer or something for you, and we will have a drink together. "

On the other end, Zhao Minchu's face was slightly red, his eyes were squinted, and he greeted Sheng Xiping warmly and asked him to go to Huangnihe Forest Farm.

“Secretary Zhao, do you have people in your forestry who can hunt?

To tell you the truth, I usually like to shoot guns. I go into the mountains to hunt wild boars, deer, roe deer, etc. According to what you said, I am really excited. "

Everyone had already invited them, but Sheng Xiping couldn't keep going.

"But I took a leave of absence. It's far away from my home, so I waste all my time on the road."

"Well, what can we do if we are delayed for two days? There is not so much work in the forest farm at this time, why don't we all take a break and do side jobs?

You just came back three or five days late, so what's the big deal?

After a while, the banquet is over, so you pack up your things, come with us, and go live at our place. "

Qiao Yongliang was also half drunk. Although he was quite sane, his voice was much higher than usual and his tone was also harsh.

"Well, thanks to the love of Secretary Zhao and Director Qiao, you can call me brother. Come on, my little brother, let me toast you two first."

Sheng Xiping took a look and saw that the atmosphere had reached this point. If nothing else, he would like to propose a toast first.

As Sheng Xiping spoke, he filled the glasses of Zhao Minchu and Qiao Yongliang with wine.

Then, the three people's cups clinked, and Sheng Xiping became bored after one sip. "I'll do it, you two can do whatever you want."

After all, is there still the word "casual" on the wine table?

Sheng Xiping has done it, can those two be left behind? So they picked up the wine glasses and drank the wine in the glasses.

Sheng Xiping quickly picked up some food for them and persuaded them to eat some food before speaking.

"To tell you the truth, I'll come this time. I have something else to do. I have to go to the Jiapigou Gold Mine to find someone."

Sheng Xiping didn't ask anyone to help him find him, he just said he wanted to find someone.

When the two people heard this, they became excited at that time, "Jiapi Gou Gold Mine? You can just come to us."

Our forest farm is only a dozen miles away from the gold mine, and we are all familiar with their mine leaders.

Just tell me who you are looking for? I know everything about it. "Qiao Yongliang patted his chest and assured Sheng Xiping.

"The man's name is Chen Ruiqing. He used to be from the province. A friend of mine asked me to inquire. His family is looking for him."

At this moment, Sheng Xiping finally told the person he was looking for.

"Hey, Ruiqing, are you looking for him? You are really here.

He used to be in our forest farm, and then he was taken to the gold mine. I heard people say that he made great achievements in the gold mine, and the mine now treats him as a treasure. "

When Qiao Yongliang heard this, he immediately slapped his thigh excitedly.

"Come on, don't say anything. You can come with us in the afternoon and come to my house tonight. You can see how I arrange it."

During the banquet at noon, Sheng Xiping was very satisfied with the leaders at the table, and even chatted with Zhao Minchu and Qiao Yongliang and became close friends.

The two of them refused to let Sheng Xiping leave no matter what, and had to let him live in the forest farm for a few days.

Sheng Xiping couldn't refuse, so he followed the trend and agreed.

After eating and drinking, the banquet was over, and the guests who came to congratulate each other took their leave one after another.

Qiao Yongliang and Zhao Minchu accompanied Sheng Xiping to find Su Mingchang and his son, saying that they would take Sheng Xiping to Huangnihe Forest Farm for two days.

When Su Mingchang heard this, he understood that Sheng Xiping must have found out about Chen Ruiqing and was looking for someone.

Therefore, Su Mingchang did not stop him. He only told Sheng Xiping not to cause trouble for others and to drink less when he arrived at Huangnihe Forest Farm.

"Hey, uncle, I know, don't worry." Sheng Xiping drank a lot and his face was red.

However, he understood in his heart that Su Mingchang was doing this for his own good, so he readily agreed.

In this way, Sheng Xiping went back to his neighbor next door, picked up his things, and then followed Zhao Minchu and Qiao Yongliang into the tree farm's car while the driver drove back.

The Hongshi Forestry Bureau was built late, and there are gold mines here, which were developed early, so the road traffic conditions are better, and it is one of the few forestry bureaus that transport vehicles.

Unlike Songjianghe Forestry Bureau, it was developed early and is located in a remote area with poor transportation conditions, so it all depends on railway transportation.

Hongshi Forestry Bureau is in Hongshilizi Commune, while Huangnihe Forest Farm is in the southeast of Jiapigou Commune. The two places are quite far apart.

Sheng Xiping and his party set out from Hongshi Forestry Bureau by car and passed by Hongshilizi Commune, Jiapigou Commune, and Jiapigou Gold Mine.

Jiapigou Gold Mine: Around the 10th year of Daoguang's reign in the Qing Dynasty, some ginseng miners discovered alluvial gold in the Jiapigou river bed, which attracted many refugees to look for gold.

In the twenty-fifth year of Daoguang's reign, gold collector Ma Wenliang discovered a large outcrop of gold veins in the upper reaches of the Jiapigou River. He gathered people to mine, and the number of gold collectors increased day by day.

In the twenty-eighth year of Daoguang's reign, Han Xianzong defected to Ma Wenliang to mine gold. Later, with the help of his ally Li Maolin and others, he cleverly chased the powerful bandit Liang Cai, and was recommended by Jin Fu as the general training officer to develop his power.

Han Xianzong and his three generations of descendants commanded the Jiapigou gold mine.

At the height of the Han family's power, its jurisdiction included Huadian, Panshi, Dunhua, Mengjiang, Fusong, Antu and other places, and it was known as Hanbianwai.

At that time, the people within the jurisdiction of Korea's border areas only knew about Korea and did not know about Qing Dynasty. It became a veritable golden kingdom.

With the fall of Northeast China, Korean and foreign forces collapsed, and the Jiapigou Gold Mine became a base for invaders to illegally mine my country's gold veins.

It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that the country promptly resumed production of gold mines in Jiapigou and other places.

Through general survey and exploration, a large amount of capital and technical force have been invested, which has revitalized the production of Jiapigou gold mine.

Jiapigou Gold Mine currently covers an area of ​​35 square kilometers, has about 2,000 employees, more than 20 departments, and three pits.

From underground mining to transportation to the ore dressing site, mechanized production can basically be achieved.

"Come on, stop here, brother Xiping, let's go, I will take you to their leader."

When passing by the Jiapigou Gold Mine Concentrator, Qiao Yongliang asked the driver to stop, then dragged Sheng Xiping out of the car and went straight to the office area of ​​the concentrator to find the person in charge of the gold mine.

The guard at the mineral processing site knew Qiao Yongliang. When he saw that he was leading a young man in, he didn't dare to stop him. He only said that their secretary was in the office.

Qiao Yongliang waved his hand and led the young man in.

"Lao Xu, Lao Xu, are you here?"

Qiao Yongliang was still drunk, and his voice was still very high. He entered the office corridor and started shouting.

The house this time was a gold mine office, and office staff from various departments were there. Upon hearing the commotion, many people poked their heads out of their offices to check.

As soon as he saw it was Qiao Yongliang, someone came out.

"Hey, Director Qiao, why are you here today? Our secretary is in the office. I will take you over to find him."

"No, I know this place better than you." Qiao Yongliang waved his hand and led Sheng Xiping to an office on the east side.

"Old Xu, you are at work, are you busy? I have something to do with you."

This guy, when he enters someone else's office, he acts as if he were at home.

Xu Shouzhong, secretary of Jiapigou Gold Mine, was reading documents there. When he looked up and saw Qiao Yongliang coming in with a red face, he knew where this guy must have drank at noon.

"Hey, brother Yongliang, what are you doing? Did you drink again at noon?"

Xu Shouzhong hurriedly came forward, helped Qiao Yongliang, sat on the chair next to him, and then poured Qiao Yongliang a glass of water.

"The youngest son of Director Su of our bureau is our production dispatcher Su Jingsheng. He is getting married today.

We went to have a wedding banquet, and when we came back and passed by your place, my little brother said he was looking for someone, so I accompanied him to find you. "

Qiao Yongliang picked up the cup and drank it, then pointed at Sheng Xiping and said.

"Xiping, this is Secretary Xu from Jiapigou Gold Mine, you can just call him Lao Xu.

Lao Xu, this is my new little brother, from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau, and he is also here for a wedding banquet.

He said he wanted to come to your mine to find someone, that precious little guy of yours, Chen Ruiqing. "

Qiao Yongliang was not drunk. That was just the way he was. His face turned red as soon as he drank. It started from the first sip of wine and didn't change back until the alcohol had subsided.

It is said that people who blush after drinking are easy to make friends with. I don't know if this is accurate, but Qiao Yongliang is really cheerful and cheerful.

"Hello, Secretary Xu, I'm really sorry, but I was also entrusted by someone to inquire about the whereabouts of Chen Ruiqing.

I heard Jing Sheng mention it yesterday that there is a person here in the gold mine who is very similar to the person I am looking for, so I take the liberty of disturbing him today.

I also ask Secretary Xu to be a little accommodating and allow me to meet Chen Ruiqing in person. "

Qiao Yongliang can speak loudly here without any scruples, but Sheng Xiping can't.

He quickly stretched out his right hand and expressed his intention to Xu Shouzhong with a smile.

"Oh, oh, then you should be entrusted by Ruiqing's family, right? You really came in time.

Ruiqing is very good to me. He has just gained merit. I am sending a report to the province and want to keep Ruiqing as an engineer in the mine. "

The other party didn't mean to look down on Sheng Xiping, so he stretched out his hand to shake Sheng Xiping's hand.

“I’m also waiting for the province’s approval. If the province agrees, Ruiqing’s hat will be taken off.

This man is a great talent and very capable, but he has been wronged over the years. "

Mentioning Chen Ruiqing, Xu Shouzhong couldn't hide his appreciation and admiration in his words.

"Secretary Xu, I wonder if I can meet Chen Ruiqing? Can you confirm if he is the person I am looking for?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, I tried my best and can give you an answer later. "

Sheng Xiping had known about this for a long time, but he was also very happy for Chen Ruiqing at this moment.

Sure enough, gold shines wherever it goes, and talents like Chen Ruiqing will not remain hidden forever.

However, Chen Ruiqing had not yet taken off his hat at this time. Although he had made great contributions to the mine, he did not know whether those people could allow Chen Ruiqing to contact outsiders at will.

Therefore, Sheng Xiping asked very carefully.
