"Liulang, why did you bring up the map?" Li Yong, who was called in, asked suspiciously when he saw what Li Yin had brought up. The so-called map is actually an ancient map. You can buy a map of the whole country for a few dollars. At this time, maps are very rare and can only be found in government departments or the army. This map inlaid on a wooden board, which looks like a screen, is still Li Yin. Borrowed from the Ministry of Industry.

Li Yin smiled mysteriously, and said, "I heard that you brothers bought a lot of slaves?"

"Uh~" Hearing Li Yin's question, Cheng Huailiang and the others were taken aback. Some time ago they heard someone falsely accused Li Yin of treason. Although they were not qualified to intercede for Li Yin, they bought the remaining nearly ten thousand yuan together. The Tubo slaves were just to help Li Yin share some pressure.Didn't those people say that Li Yin bought slaves for the purpose of treason, so why don't they all buy a lot of slaves, don't they all plan to rebel?

Of course, this move was a bit reckless, and many of them were scolded by their elders for this. Moreover, after the slaves were bought back, they had no place to settle. There are some dirty jobs in the cement factory that can be used. Slaves, but thousands of people can be placed in the sky. In addition, some people have found some coal mines, but they are not as big as Li Min's mines. There are not many slaves at all, so most of the slaves are still thrown in the suburbs. It's on.

Looking at this group of brothers, Li Yin was also very moved. Ever since he learned about the situation from Xiao Yu, Li Yin made up his mind. Since the brothers are here to help him, he can't let them suffer. A slave may be a burden in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Li Yin, it is a rare wealth.Capital Datang 77

"Liulang, just say what you have to say, we are all brothers, so don't say anything out of the ordinary!" Li Yong said first, he was the most active in buying slaves, and bought the most, but It's all in the hands now.

"Hehe, Brother Ninth, you misunderstood." Li Yin smiled. He didn't thank you for his great kindness, and he didn't want to say thank you. It is too wasteful to raise them like pigs, so I thought of a way to use these slaves."

"Oh? Liulang, do you really have a solution?" Hearing what Li Yin said, Cheng Huailiang, Li Jingye and others immediately cheered up. It's fine for these slaves not to work, but they have to be fed every day, although the cost is not high. A lot, but it's a loss-making business.

"Hehe, in fact, this method is very simple, that is, just open a few more mines?" Li Yin said with a smile. Datang encourages private operations in the mining industry, but because the government-run mines are strong, so now The private mining industry does not occupy the mainstream, and the government-run mining industry is still the main one.

"Cut~, Liulang, it's easy for you to say, but a mine cannot be opened by someone with money. The most fundamental thing is to have a mine, such as the coal you produced. If it weren't for the coal mines in Heishi Mountain , how can your mine be opened?" Li Jingye said with some dissatisfaction, Li Min took the first step and bought all the coal mines that could be found around Chang'an, so they had to go to other places to find mines.When the others heard Li Yin's words, they were also dejected for a while. They thought that Li Yin had something good to do, and they made everyone happy for a long time.

"Isn't it just a few coal mines? I don't dare to say anything else, but I can make as many coal mines as you want!" Li Min said arrogantly. This is not his boasting. He knows the distribution better than anyone else. For example, in the Shanxi area, everything is lacking except coal, and there is no need to dig the buried coal at all. The open-pit coal mines are enough for them to dig for hundreds of years. .

"Liu Lang, are you kidding me? How dare you brag about this kind of thing?" Cheng Huailiang obviously didn't believe it. If Li Yin knew the locations of several coal mines, he wouldn't be too suspicious, but Li Yin's But the tone was very loud, and he even said as much as he wanted, and charcoal was not a rock on the ground, so he felt that Li Yin's words were not credible at all.

"That's right, Liulang, brothers admire your skills, but charcoal is not cement, it grows from the ground, unless you are a god, it is impossible to know these things." Li Yexu was also called He diverted his attention and said with a look of disbelief.

"Tch~, I know you don't believe me." Li Min looked disdainful, and then he pointed at the map and said, "That's why I asked someone to bring the map, and I will show it to you now."

Seeing that Li Yin didn't seem to be joking, Cheng Huailiang and the others were taken aback. They always admired Li Yin, and they always felt that Li Yin was covered with a veil of mystery, which made people confused. Know what talents he has not shown.So seeing Li Yin's confident appearance, they couldn't help but have unspeakable expectations for Li Yin's "absurd" words.

Li Yin pointed to the map as he spoke, and then drew a small circle, including Shanxi and a part of Henan in later generations. These places are one of the main coal-producing areas in later generations. It is very different from the maps of later generations, but because of the Yellow River as a reference, it is still very easy to distinguish.

"See, the circle I drew should be considered the area with the richest coal deposits in the territory of our entire Tang Dynasty. As long as we send people to look for it here, we will definitely be able to find coal in a very short time. mine." Li Yin said confidently, of course he couldn't remember the exact location of the mine, but as long as an area is delineated, the coal deposits in this area are so rich that it is impossible to find them.

"Liu Lang, is this a joke?" Qin Huaiyu asked with a serious expression on his face. Although Li Yin's appearance did not seem to be a joke, the circle he created is not small. If you want to find Carboniferous mines will definitely cost a lot of manpower and material resources.But if the mine cannot be found by then, even if they don't care, the family behind them will definitely have a bad impression on Li Yin, and even their friendship with Li Yin will be affected in the future.

"Yes Liulang, are you really sure?" Yan Bei also expressed some doubts.

But at this time Li Yong was the first to stand up and said loudly: "I believe in Liulang. Everyone knows his character. Although he sometimes likes to make jokes, he has always been reassuring when it comes to these big things. If you don't believe me, Then I'll go find it alone, and if I find the last coal mine by then, don't regret it!"

Li Yong and Li Yin had the best relationship, so of course he was the first to support him at this time, and what Li Yong said was true, whether it was the brewery or the cement factory, they had greatly increased the income of their Hejian Palace. Yin also admired Li Yin the most, so he was the first to choose to believe Li Yin's words.

Seeing Li Yong's statement, others couldn't sit still. Li Yin wanted to help them solve the big burden of slaves, and they bought those slaves to help Li Yin. Now Li Yin obviously wanted to repay everyone. To express my gratitude, it is impossible to joke with everyone about the disappearing matter.

Thinking of this, Li Jingye, Qin Huaiyu and other people who are closest to Li Yin immediately followed Li Yong to make a statement, and the others also slowly thought of this. Li Yin no longer doubted what he said, and started talking about the development of coal mines in this area.

Seeing that everyone no longer had doubts, Li Yin immediately became excited, and suggested that everyone simply follow the model of the Cement Industry Association and form a Datang Carbon Coal Industry Association. However, unlike the Cement Association, this Carbon Coal Industry Association is a completely private organization and has no Officials like the Cement Construction Supervision Institute got involved.Capital Datang 77

Li Yin also introduced the benefits of setting up the Carbon Coal Industry Association. After the establishment of this association, as long as each company contributes a part of manpower or material resources, and then integrates together to find mines, the mines found will be allocated to everyone for mining according to the amount of effort each company contributes. , In this way, not only is the risk smaller, but also the power of everyone can be better utilized. If there is any problem in the future, everyone can sit down and negotiate together to avoid hurting feelings because of interest issues.

Hearing Li Yin's introduction, everyone who was still a bit hesitant immediately applauded loudly. They can get the greatest benefit at the lowest cost and risk. Everyone knows how to choose, so everyone drew up an agreement at the moment, and the coal The industry association was established, but everyone was unwilling to be left behind in the post of president. They rushed to be the first president. The people here are all young and energetic, and no one wants to be left behind .

Everyone quarreled for a long time, but in the end the position of the president was still not selected, but the deacons were selected, namely Cheng Huailiang, Li Jingye, Li Jingheng, Qin Huaiyu, Yanbei, and finally Li Yin, a total of six. A deacon, during the period without the president, the affairs of the association will be temporarily handed over to the six of them for negotiation. As for the post of president, because no one agrees with the other, it will be temporarily vacant until the coal industry develops. Finally, whoever has the fastest and strongest industry development at that time will be his seat.

"Huh? Liulang, I suddenly thought of a question." After finally calming everyone down, Li Jingheng, one of the deacons, suddenly frowned and said.

"Oh, Brother Jing Heng, please tell me!" Li Yin smiled. He has no regrets about not taking the chairman's seat. After all, he is too lazy. , but threw everything to Li Yifu, and didn't want to take care of those messy things at all, so for this emerging coal industry, he only wanted to make a fortune in silence, and let others do the hard work.Originally, he didn't even want to be a deacon, but he proposed this matter after all, so under the suggestion of several other deacons, he was forced to take the name of a deacon.

"If so many of us go to dig coal, it will definitely increase the production of coal, but because of shipping costs and other issues, our coal can only be supplied to the cement plant in the section from Chang'an to Luoyang at most." Li Jingheng said on the map After a few pointers from above, the coal production area planned by Li Min is not very far from Chang'an and Luoyang. The unearthed charcoal cannot be sold, so let alone making money, we will definitely lose money by then."

Under the influence of his money-grubbing father, Li Jingheng is quite knowledgeable about business and knows the importance of the market to a product. Just now, he was only concerned about being happy and competing for the position of president, so he didn't think about it for a while. As soon as he calmed down now, he immediately noticed this big problem.After hearing Li Jingheng's analysis, the others also understood the seriousness of this problem. If they didn't solve this problem, even if they had dug out the coal, they could only fetch water from a bamboo basket in vain.
