Chapter 313 How to fix 313

He drank his tea and opened his mouth slowly.

"Remember when I first met you?"

Zhao Yuanle was silent for a while.

"…Remember."

She still remembers the flustered feeling of being asked.

Ming Hong said, "I'm here to investigate."

Zhao Yuanle: "Investigate agriculture?"

Ming Hong said, "No, let's check if there is anything valuable in Bailing County."

Zhao Yuanle's eyes lit up.

"We have mines there, right? Is it gold mines? Or iron mines? Iron mines shouldn't be worth much, so they're gold mines?"

Ming Hongyan smiled.

"It's a coal mine."

A large coal mine, the entire mountain and the bottom, there is a high probability that it is coal, and it is still high-quality coal.

Zhao Yuanle let out an oh, but he didn't look very excited.

Ming Hong couldn't help saying: "Right now, coal is more practically useful than gold.

With coal, it can generate electricity and be used in steam engines. The trains that will pass by then, or the naval warships that will be confronted in the future will all use coal.

The coal you find here may be able to mine 20 million catties a year. This amount accounts for one of the five coal mines in the country that mines coal in a year, and it is enough to repay the money borrowed to build the railway. "

Zhao Yuanle converted 20 million catties, two catties equals one kilogram, and one thousand kilograms equals one ton, which means the annual production of [-] tons.

Is this number a lot?
She vaguely remembered that the annual coal production in the news broadcast was calculated in billions of tons.

And it feels like billions of tons.

But...she saw the faint joy in Ming Yan's eyes when she said this, she nodded in agreement, pretending to be surprised: "There are so many."

On Ming Hongyan's face, it was rare to see a look of joy from the bottom of his heart.

"At the beginning, I just took a fancy to the pleasant climate here, which is suitable for recuperating.

After I first arrived, I climbed up with the people who came to see me off. People around me looked at the mountains, rocks, vegetation, and speculated that there might be coal here.

I just had the mentality of giving it a try, thinking of doing something while recuperating.

Who knows, it really came out. It is very likely that the mountain is full of coal, and the quality is still high. "

Having said that, Ming Hongyan couldn't help but let out a cold snort.

"The magistrate of Bailing County is really useless. He had already served a term when he was the county magistrate before, and he didn't even discover such a large coal mine."

No wonder he can only be a county magistrate here at this age, and his thoughts are probably all on eating and drinking to make money, and he also seeks to make connections.

Zhao Yuanle nodded hurriedly when he heard Ming Hongyan say this about the county magistrate.

"That's right, he is not a good county magistrate. When did you remove him?"

Ming Hongyan glanced at Zhao Yuanle, and his tone became calm again.

"Now, in name, he is not under my control. I don't have an official position. Strictly speaking, I can't control anyone."

Zhao Yuanle sighed.

"Pity…"

Seeing Zhao Yuanle's regretful look, Ming Hongyan narrowed his eyes in doubt.

"You hate this county magistrate?"

Zhao Yuanle: "He is not a good county magistrate."

Ming Hong said: "Actually, during his management period, the population of Bailing County increased, the food was sufficient, and no taxes were owed. Although it is not a good county magistrate, it is not too bad."

Zhao Yuanle: "That's because you see him from a different angle.

In my opinion, his daughter is not of good character and spends extravagantly on food and clothing, and his son, who considers himself superior to others, does not have the character pattern of a rich family at all. "

Ming Hongyan probably knew why Zhao Yuanle said that.

He knew exactly what kind of people like county magistrate Wang were like.

Zhao Yuanle was angry: "His children are like that, so you can know what he is like."

Ming Hongyan glanced at the teacup in front of Zhao Yuanle, and chuckled lightly.

"Have some tea."

Zhao Yuanle drank the tea and couldn't help humming.

"I hope the next county magistrate will be a good one."

Ming Hong said: "It should be."

This coal mine can be dug for many years, and it will definitely not be guarded by a useless person like the county magistrate Wang.

Whenever he leaves Bailing County, County Magistrate Wang will take off the hat of Bailing County Magistrate.

Zhao Yuanle scolded County Magistrate Wang secretly in his heart, calmed down his emotions, and brought the problem back on track.

"That is to start digging coal after the railway is repaired?"

Ming Hong said: "A lot of things need to be done before the official production. Before that, people have to be arranged to carry out the work."

Zhao Yuanle: "So you should be in a hurry to build the railway, but after two or three months, it will be time to harvest the millet, and everyone here will go to build the road. What about the grain?"

Ming Hongyan thought about these issues long ago.

"There will be a holiday for the few days when the grain is harvested."

Zhao Yuanle: "Where did it come from and where did it go? You can't build a railway through rolling mountains."

She doesn't think people today have this technology.

Ming Hong said: "Naturally, the railway cannot pass through those rolling mountains, but there are rivers in the mountains, and when the mountains come, it is a hilly area that is inaccessible, and the river also bends at the border between the mountains and the mausoleum.

The railway will cross the hills and reach the bend of the river. In this way, the river can send people and things on the plain to the border around the mountain barrier.

The railway can transport these people and things through the inaccessible hills to the crossing of the great river there. "

After hearing this, Zhao Yuanle understood.

"I know, the railway starts from where the river stops and ends at the crossing of the great river.

The area in the middle is particularly difficult to transport things, so it can be transported by railway. "

Ming Hongyan nodded.

"Although the mountains are barriers, there are rivers, and it is convenient to transport things in them.

And the terrain here, there are mountains, there are hills, and there is flat land, but it is only a small piece.The grid is average and uneven, which is really inconvenient.

Going further, although the terrain over there is similar to this side, there is a big river and a ferry in that side.

Your area, between these two places, actually blocks the convenience of communication between the two places. "

Zhao Yuanle chuckled.

"Isn't this going to build the railway? Just build the railway."

Ming Hongyan couldn't help reminding her.

"The terrain here is not good. Although it can be repaired, it must be difficult. Don't be too happy."

Zhao Yuanle is quite confident.

"Actually, you should publicize the benefits of building the railway to the common people, especially tell them that if you do this, you will prolong your children and grandchildren, and you will earn a lot of money when it is repaired. Can marry a wife and have many children.

Anyway, if they painted the prospect very well, they would be motivated.

At that time, the attitude of the supervisors will be better, and they will be able to eat enough to ensure that they will be repaired quickly.

Oh, by the way, if wages are really paid, they will be measured, assigned to different tasks, and paid according to the amount of work, and the repair will be faster. "

Ming Hongyan laughed lightly when he heard these words.

"It seems that the combination of drawing big cakes and actual interests can be efficient."
