Chapter 508: Coal has been unearthed and has promise, fifth update
The village chief glanced at Liu Chong, who was looking over, and said to Zhu Biao, "Your Highness, there is salt locally, and it is grown in Sanliyan Bay. The land is not easy, but there is no shortage of salt.
Just take the soil from the saline-alkali land and add water to boil the salt. No extra things are needed, and the salt can be eaten directly at the seaside. When the sea was salty, yellow mud water was put in, and the local area was directly saline-alkali soil.
Previous dynasties regarded this place as a good place. There were salt officials here under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, and also in the Tang Dynasty.
The local Wuding River is where Yanwan is located. Chen Tao of the Tang Dynasty wrote a poem vowing to sweep away the Xiongnu regardless of his own safety. Five thousand Shao Jin mourned Hu Chen. The poor bones by the Wuding River are like a spring boudoir dream.
Of course, he only writes poems, he will not go to fight with others, he will not pass the imperial examination.
After the Tang Dynasty, he fought and fought. When the Song Dynasty came out, it was a pity that this place became a border. It was not as good as what we have now.
The border was used for border trade, and it was called Qianhu. Liu Qianhu guarded it, which shows the importance of this place.
p>
The area of saline-alkali land is so large that it is obviously not possible to grow food crops. If the people don’t come, they won’t be able to grow anything.
It would be most suitable to plant the saline-alkali-resistant purple-flowered groundweed and then raise sheep and cattle. , horses can do it, they don’t lack salt or grass.
The most important thing is that there is coal here, which is better than the open-pit coal mine in Baofeng.
The most important thing is that there is coal here. p>
Now there is a large open-pit coal mine next to it. If you dig a little deeper, you can see the coal. There is the Jiahe River next to it, which can go straight into the Yellow River. "
The village chief said the local area. The resources are mainly minerals, salt and coal, and others are secondary.
Zhu Biao leaned back and said, "There is no useless place in Ming Dynasty, only useless people."
Liu Chong is the same as the local officials who encountered this scene before.
Who is not confused after encountering this? Foreigners are more familiar with local conditions than our locals.
But Zhu Xi was used to it. His father had to ask Xiaqiu Village to accompany him. Isn't it because of this? Every time he went to a place, he could talk about the affairs of that place.
While on the way, he taught himself and his brother knowledge. No one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty had this ability, so he did not take the ministers with him.
So he said, "There are open-pit coal mines that are easy to dig, and they are transported by water next to the Yellow River. People in places where there is no coal along the Yellow River can burn cheap coal."
Baofeng's Where the coal pipes are not upstream, there is no shortage of coke for kilns or coal for daily fires."
"Your Highness, it cannot be transported upstream to Jizhou because there is a pot mouth. It is impossible to go down and up the waterfall.
Unless we use the previous method, it is not cost-effective to transport coal by land boat, which consumes too much manpower and material resources.”
The chief reminded. Hey, the coal here cannot be transported further downstream along the Yellow River.
“I’m afraid that if we can’t get across from that side, it will be time for our Xianyang coal to be transported out through the Wei River.” ZhuHe never forgot that there was a large coal mine in his fiefdom.
"What His Highness said is true. In fact, we can blast out a road next to the Hukou Waterfall, for example, build a simple railway, and then connect the shipping.
We can build the Rouge River. It can be blasted out, and the surrounding areas are not so deep. As long as there is a road, it is very easy.
It takes 20,000 people to build the road in two months, and then it will be convenient for everyone to go around. Waterfall."
The chief first expressed his admiration, and then mentioned the matter of road construction. The area next to Hukou Waterfall was completed with a blast.
If you can row on land, you can walk. It’s just a question of how to choose. Why can’t the boat be connected to a track?
There is the Rouge River and the Hukou Waterfall. It's also stone.
“Why didn’t you say it right before? The key is to find a way for the local coal. Only if it can be sold for money will the people be willing to come here. It just so happens that the salt can also be transported together.”
Zhu Cang complained, but he didn't dare to glare.
Zhu Biao interjected, "Find the coal first. It will be convenient later. At least there will be fuel for boiling salt. This salt is better than lake salt.
Liu Qianhu, eat first and finish eating. Let’s go look for coal mines and dig around to see if there are any.
This is Juntun. At least the people in Juntun can burn coal at will this winter. Remember to be careful about charcoal poison. ”
Liu Chong "obeys the order of the Prince's Palace"
He is still guessing about the identity of the li chief. Whether the li chief is a name or a position is the same as some previous officials.
After dinner, Zhu Xi, who put on a military coat, finally felt less cold and followed the team to a place six miles away.
In fact, there is no need to dig, because you can see scattered black coal and stones nearby, but it is desolate and no one cares.
The craftsmen and sergeants went up and started digging without explosives.
Two hours later, coal appeared one after another in several pits six feet deep. The more people there, the better.
"Dig for coal. Use the coal here for tonight's dinner." Zhu Biao ordered. You can tell the truth at a glance.
Actually everyone knows that coal is coal, carry it up in a basket, and when the quantity is almost there, everyone rushes back.
Liu Chong ""
He turned around and told his soldiers, "Go and tell the others to come over early tomorrow morning to load coal. We have good coal, and we can burn it as much as we want in the winter.
Send fast horses to other guard posts and light torches. You don’t have to come back today and let other guard posts come to dig coal.”
The soldiers nodded tremblingly, “Don’t worry, Qianhu. Make sure you run over."
The soldiers are happy. Now that we have coal, we don't have to think about how to get firewood. We can choose the best coal to burn. It won't be cold this winter.
As for building fire tunnels, fire pits, and fire walls, it is too easy. There is clay locally, and cave dwellings are even dug in some places.
Well, for example, next to here, there are cave dwellings left by people in the past.
"Li Chang, what you are holding in your hand looks familiar." Back to the originalWhen he was preparing to eat, Zhu Xiang looked at Li Chang's hand and saw that there was mud on his hand.
"Your Highness, we must use seven things, and they are from Xiaqiu Village. The quality of Xiaqiu Village is better. Guanyin soil is bentonite.
It is used to decolorize brown sugar. We used him to make white sugar, and then crystallized the white sugar into rock sugar.
The little girl’s eyes were swollen from crying, and she regretted buying such expensive rock sugar.”
< p>The director introduced bentonite clay. By the way, I took a look at the girl. Bentonite clay is a good thing. Most people don’t understand it. Bentonite clay has many uses.The little girl pursed her lips and said, "I feel bad thinking about it now. It's such a scam. How dare they sell it so expensively?"
She knows all the crafts, but she gets angry every time she thinks about it. The anger of barbarians.
Liu Chong went to the head of the village, stretched out his hand, took some soil that the head of the village gave him, and squeezed it. "Your Highness the Prince, Your Highness the King of Qin, there are many such soils in the local area, it"
< p> "Liu Qianhu, this soil is a good thing. We use it in Jubiqidu. It has a strong adsorption effect. We can use it to absorb some things that shouldn't be there.When the road is repaired in the future, we will Send it down from the Yellow River, bypass the Hukou Waterfall and take the railway track.
Don't eat it as Guanyin soil, it is not good for your stomach, but it can feed the livestock. In the future, our place will become rich and the people will take the initiative to move there. Life here."
When Zhu Xi heard that it was bentonite, he thought of many applications. Ju Biqi would use it in the process of making oil, sauce and vinegar. Please remember to collect it, the latest and fastest website without anti-theft, free to find books and add books, you can join the qq group 952868558
