God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 288 Looking for Coal
Du He scratched his head, thinking, this old fox is too shameless.

Master of Demolition?
What a high-tech career.

In this era, the emergence of one is definitely the baby of the baby.

It took him half a month to train Zhang Jian.

Li Er actually wants to train a group of blasting masters in five days?
Seeing Li Er's smug face, Du He wanted to rush up and beat him...Of course, it was just thinking about it.

He chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, no problem, no problem, to be honest, my Datang Vocational and Technical College is about to start, and it happens to train this blasting master to open a major, but the tuition is a bit expensive."

Li Er frowned, thought about it in his mind, and said, "I will give you five hundred Wen to train ten blasting masters for me."

Five hundred words?
ten people?
It's far from enough to feed ten people.

Thanks to Li Er who figured it out.

Du He was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "No problem, no problem. When Datang Vocational and Technical College starts, I will definitely inform His Majesty in advance."

"That's about the same," Du He said proudly. "The work-for-relief work needs to be started as soon as possible. There are still more than 1 disaster victims who have nothing to do. Du He, don't let me down."

After finishing speaking, Li Er walked away with a face full of pride.

Du He looked at the back of Li Er leaving, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

……

a few days later.

Chang'an International Shopping Center was officially launched.

Datang Construction Company hired 5000 people at one go and put them into the construction site of Yonghe Liufang.

Du He non-stop took over the previously designed blueprints and made some modifications and improvements.

It is finally determined that the floor of the shopping mall building is [-] floors instead of [-] floors. The entire shopping center has a square outside and a circle inside, and the appearance looks very domineering.

Moreover, Duhe no longer uses traditional wood as the raw material for the construction of Chang'an International Shopping Center, but prepares to burn red bricks himself as the raw material for the main building.

In this era, although fired bricks have long been available, they have not been used on a large scale, and the technology of firing bricks is backward, and the quality of the fired bricks is not good, so they have not been widely used.

What Du He has to do is to change this situation.

To improve the quality of fired bricks, the first step is to change the situation of firing with wood and use coal.

Coal has been recorded since the Qin and Han dynasties, but it was not officially used until the Tang Dynasty. There are two reasons. One is that people in this era do not have much demand for coal, and the other is that mining technology is backward and Coal is not cheap.

In the memory of Du He's previous life, there were no coal mines around Chang'an, but there were a large number of coal mines near Lantian, and many of them were open-pit mines.

This morning.

On the square of the Dream Group headquarters, there are a total of ten horses, five carriages, and more than a dozen people, all of which are ready and ready to set off at any time.

Looking at these more than ten men, they are all mining masters that Du Hehua hired from Chang'an City with a lot of money. Most of these people were masters of iron ore mining for the imperial court in the past.

The leading man, in his 20s, is not considered strong, his complexion is like bronze, and he looks very tough.

This guy's name is Mu Zongsi. He was originally a mining craftsman in the North Korean Ministry of Industry. In the end, he was demoted to a commoner, and then became anonymous. If Du He hadn't found Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, it would have been really difficult to find this guy and invite him out of the mountain.

Mu Zongsi had known Du He's name for a long time, but he was not interested in Du He's idea of ​​looking for black soil. If he hadn't liked the price of Du He's employment - two pennies a day, he would never have come to help.

Apart from Mu Zongsi and others, Du He only brought Lu Bu, Xu Zhengdao, and five guards with him, and set off in a light car. The direction of the convoy was towards Lantian County in the southeast.In Du He's memory, there was a large open-pit coal mine in the west of Lantian County in later generations, which was very easy to mine and had an astonishing amount of reserves.

……

In Chang'an City, in an unknown courtyard.

A middle-aged man appeared in a hurry.

He said to the ghosts and gods not far away: "Master, Du He has already left the Fantasy Group with his people and headed for Lantian County. Most of the people who followed him this time were craftsmen and only a few guards."

Swish.

The ghost turned around and said excitedly: "Okay, hum, I thought Du He would be a turtle, but I didn't expect, hahaha, this is a good opportunity to kill Du He, tell Cui San to stop Ma Zhou first." For the matter over there, immediately mobilize people, and this time, I will personally take action and kill Du He."

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, ghosts and gods sneaked out of Chang'an City with people, and quickly headed towards Lantian County.

……

at sunset.

Du He and others have already come to the hills about [-] miles away from Chang'an City in the northwest of Lantian County.

Du He immediately ordered everyone to set up tents and prepare to establish a temporary stronghold here.

After all the tents were set up, everyone ate dry food and started to investigate under the leadership of Du He and Mu Zongsi.

It is said to be a survey, but in fact there is no high-tech equipment to assist it, it is entirely based on experience and observation.

The craftsmen held shovels and iron rods as tall as a person. Under Mu Zongsi's command, everyone inserted the iron rods into the ground from time to time, and then pulled them out to observe the color change of the soil contaminated on the iron rods.

At the same time, Mu Zongsi also sent people to search for villages nearby. If there were villages, he asked the local villagers if there was black soil around.

Black soil is the name for coal in this era.

I worked so hard until it was dark, but I only probed out for a mile or two, but found nothing.

Du He gave an order, and everyone returned to their tents.

When everyone was eating dry food, Xu Zhengdao, who had disappeared not long ago, came back with two wolves on his shoulders.

These are two fat wolves, fat and strong, they look like a tyrant in the mountains, and they must be kings in this deep mountain, but they still can't escape Xu Zhengdao's archery skills.

Xu Zhengdao said proudly: "Brothers, let's eat roast wolf meat tonight!"

Everyone cheered.

Eating meat has always been a luxury for many people present.

When Du He saw the two wolves, he simply said: "What a waste of roast wolf meat, why don't we have a pot of wolf meat soup tonight."

"it is good!"

Under Du He's command, several craftsmen who used to be butchers immediately worked on the knives. After a short time, they skinned and shaved the two wolves. After cleaning, they put them into a large iron pot that had already boiled water and started Stew up.

Although there were only a few simple spices, the smell of wolf meat spread out, making everyone salivate.

the same moment.

In the mountains and forests in the distance, under the moonlight, more than 30 people can be vaguely seen buried here.

The leader is ghosts and gods.

……

(The dragon set [Mu Zongsi] is on the stage! Brothers, there are two more events today, and another wave will erupt tomorrow, at least six more.)
