God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 291 Red Star Brick Factory
Facing the rolling mountains, Du He sighed in his heart: "From then on, a new era is about to begin, with coal, steam engines, trains, automobiles, ships... It seems that it is not impossible."

Afterwards, Du He directed everyone to conduct another survey around the area.

He can be sure that this is the largest open-pit coal mine near Lantian County recorded in the history books.

In later generations, this coal mine began to be mined in the Song Dynasty, and it was not exhausted until the 20th century, and the reserves are amazing.

Du He couldn't wait to say: "This place is a barren mountain, it seems to be an unowned land, right way, you bring people to station here, after I go back, I will send people to take over soon."

"Okay!" Xu Zhengdao agreed.

Then, Du He turned around and said to Mu Zongsi and the others: "You have already completed the task. According to the previous contract, each person's daily salary is two yuan. You can go back with me and get the money from Dream Group."

All the craftsmen were happy.

But Mu Zongsi asked curiously: "Uncle Huyi County, it seems that you plan to exploit this black soil wantonly?"

Du He nodded: "Yes, but from now on, this is not called black soil, but coal."

Mu Zongsi bowed suddenly, and said: "Mu is not talented, he comes from a humble background, he only has the ability of prospecting and mining, but there is no use for it by accident, and now he is living an isolated life under his name at a young age. Thinking of this, I feel ashamed of my ancestors, now I am honored by Huyi County Uncle to take part in this coal hunting matter, if Huyi County Uncle is going to mine coal, Mu can help a little bit, if nothing else, he will The ability handed down from the ancestors should be used to the fullest, so as not to be buried."

In just over a day of contact, Mu Zongsi admired Du He more and more.

Hearing that Du He's goal was to build a huge coal mine here, he couldn't hold back his inner excitement and wanted to participate in this matter.

Du He asked: "Have you thought it through?"

"Mu has a very clear idea. From now on, he is willing to stand on the saddle for the young master. He doesn't want to be rich and unparalleled, but only wants to learn a skill from the young master." Mu Zongsi said solemnly.

What he admired was not Du He's money, nor Du He's identity, but Du He's ability.

Rotating wooden chairs, mahjong, and popsicles are very famous in Chang'an City. Among them, the mahjong machine and popsicles are the most technical. Mu Zongsi tried it before, but found that he couldn't do it no matter what. After coming out, when I heard that these things were all invented by Du He, I immediately felt a little worship towards Du He.

It wasn't until yesterday and today that he got in touch that he made up his mind to seek refuge with Du He.

Hearing this, Du He turned around and patted Mu Zongsi on the shoulder: "Since that's the case, I'm going to build a coal mine here. The name should be Lantian Coal Mine. When the time comes, you will be in charge of all matters, and you will be Lantian Coal Mine." Coal mine manager, I hope you will not disappoint me."

Mu Zongsi said excitedly: "Master, I won't let you down, but I don't understand one thing."

"Say!"

Mu Zongsi said curiously: "This black soil... No, although this coal can be burned, it is not as convenient as firewood. Just this, what's the use?"

Du He laughed and said: "Firewood and coal are incomparable. The role of coal is definitely beyond your imagination, and the prospect is broad. Not to mention, just recently, with coal, this young master can burn hard Incomparable bricks, when winter comes, this young master can promote coal stoves so that every household in Chang'an city will use coal instead of firewood, and then it will be the time for you, a mine grower, to shine!"

When other craftsmen saw it, they also stepped forward one after another, expressing that they did not want to leave and were willing to stay and work in the Lantian Coal Mine.

Du He immediately took out the paper, drew up the contract, and signed a three-year contract with everyone.

These craftsmen are not only good at prospecting, but also good at mining.

Afterwards, Du He handed over a dozen captives to Xu Zhengdao, made some arrangements with Mu Zongsi, and then led Lu Bu towards Chang'an City.

On the second day, Du He asked Zhang Du to suspend the work at hand, and recruited a thousand victims. After eating in the canteen of Dream Group, they all brought their tools and rushed to Lantian Coal Mine.

Afterwards, Du He took Yuan Tiangang and took away [-] workers from the furniture factory. They built six brick kilns day and night in the valley not far from Dream Group, and established the Red Star Brick Factory. Du He He personally served as the director of the brick factory.

After the establishment of the brick factory, it immediately recruited [-] disaster victims and began to break bricks according to Du He's method.All the bricks made of clay are neatly sent to the brick kiln to be fired.

……

After five days.

The first batch of coal was transported from Lantian Coal Mine to Dream Group.

A total of twelve carriages transported more than 5000 catties of coal.

The coal was then sent to the Red Star Brick Factory.

In the evening of that day, six brick kilns were ignited and began to burn bricks. For a while, thick smoke billowed in the mountain depression, full of industrial atmosphere.

With the continuous delivery of coal from Lantian Coal Mine, the first batch of red bricks from Hongxing Brick Factory were fired and soon sent to the construction site of Yonghefang in Chang'an City, and Lu Yuan began to let go.

The cart for transporting bricks is not an ordinary carriage, but a carriage designed by Du He himself with twelve carriages, which can transport tens of thousands of bricks at a time. It needs ten horses to pull it at the same time. There are twelve carriages, and the length is very scary.

Therefore, when this strange carriage arrived in Chang'an City on the first day, it immediately caused a sensation, and half of the people in Chang'an City went to the streets to watch.As the days go by, everyone is no stranger to it.

a few days later.

Duhe launched the renovation project of Renmin Avenue.At the same time, the resettlement housing project for the victims outside Yanxing Gate was also launched.

All victims of disasters are resettled.

At this time, people suddenly discovered that all the victims who fled to Chang'an City had disappeared.

Guozijian, Yonghe Liufang, Renmin Avenue, resettlement houses for disaster victims, Dream Group, just these few places have digested more than 2 people.

People suddenly discovered that without knowing it, Du He's dream group had become a colossus.

In the past, when people talked about any big family in Chang'an City, they would say that this family hired hundreds of people to work, which was very remarkable.

Now, compared with Du He, these big households are all scumbags.Because the number of people working under Du He is now tens of thousands.

All the victims' matters have been resolved, marking the great success of the work-for-relief program.

For a while, there were constant congratulations to Li Ergong from inside and outside the court and the public.

As everyone knows, at this time Li Er has a headache.

It turned out that on this day, Princess Li Lizhi of Changle returned to the palace suddenly. Li Er heard the news and hurriedly put down what she was doing, and went to the harem to see if her precious daughter was being bullied by Du He.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the palace where Li Lizhi lived, he saw huge boxes at the gate, all of which were opened, and the inside was full of Kaiyuan Tongbao.

Li Er couldn't help being startled, he hurriedly called the left and right over, and asked, "What's going on, why is there so much money?"

The eunuchs around hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this was brought back by Her Majesty the Princess."

"Ok?"

Li Er was taken aback.

He has always been frugal, and he treats his children very harshly, and he will not reward money easily.

Where did Li Lizhi get so much money from?
Li Er was puzzled, so he hurried inside.
