Chapter 80: The Road to Prosperity for the Whole Village
On the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, I wish all friends who read books a happy holiday. Thank you for your blessings and encouragement. The following text:
Farewell to Cheng Hao and replied to Didian. He Libo had already returned. He said that Yu Danian and Yin Shijie were ready and would pick up the king to the fast ground he had bought tomorrow morning.
The next morning, Yu Dainian came to Didian to pick up the king. Wang Bang saw that the way he led was different from what he had taken last time. Yu Dainian explained: "This road leads directly from the county town to Tangjia Village, Xiaboluo, Bohuling."
Wang Bang remembered that there was no such way before. Yu Dainian said: "The county magistrate saw that the soldiers were too idle, so he asked them to do some work. And if you sponsor the school, the county magistrate posted an announcement.
People in our village and people in the county know that your daimyo is here to help, so they drove this road."
Wang Bang said: "It's a blessing for everyone, I've put in such a lot of effort"[
Yu Dainian said, "It's not difficult. There was a road here, but many people have walked around recently. We just walked a few more trips except for miscellaneous things, and the road came out again."
Wang Bang laughed loudly and Cheng Hao thought carefully. Erxiao remembered a sentence. He said: "Lu Xun said: There was no road in this world, and if there were too many people walking, it would become a road."
Yu Dainian asked foolishly: "Who is Lu Xun?"
He Libo shook his head: "Maybe it is an adult in the court. I really haven't heard from the young master."
Wang listened to the conversation between the two, thinking that I had never met this Lord Lu before, "I'm afraid you will meet." He smiled and urged the horse to speed up.
The three of them were about to arrive at the entrance of the village, and the king saw someone waiting there. When the man saw someone coming, he turned around and ran into the village, shouting while running, "Young Master Wang is here." As if he was on guard, he saw the enemy, and was anxious.
Tell us about information.
When I entered the village, I saw the doors of the houses on both sides of the village. The elderly and children in the village stood at their doors and watched the king. The king turned over and got off the horse. If he was on Yu Street, he would definitely be passing by with his head held high, but this place is different.
When I was in the capital, Wang Bang also knew about Yin Shijie and Yu Dainian. Tangjia Village was originally a wasteland village, with only a few families in the village, all of which were elderly people and children of different generations. Some adults went to the county town to give them money.
People became servants and servants, and some went to other wealthier villages and towns to work as long-term workers in the homes of large farmers in farmland.
From the eyes of these worn-out villagers, it seemed that Wang Bang saw expectations, and of course he also questioned why Wang Bang chose this barren land. No matter how these people looked at it, Wang Bang knew that there were treasures everywhere here, not only the underground coal,
There are also mines on the mountain.
The village is not big, and a house is very prominent among the old village houses. This house was renovated on the basis of a rich family's abandoned house here.
At the door of the house, Yin Shijie and some workers were standing. When Yin Shijie was in Meyer's mansion, he saw Lu Shenyan arranges his servants to do things every day. When he saw everyone next to the king, he also greeted him in line. The workers stood together.
Wang Bang walked into the house with a greeting to them. The house itself was too big and renovated. The front yard was wider, which was the hall and the east and west wing rooms. From the corner door, we entered the inner house, there were three main rooms. There were two ear rooms each.
Yin Shijie asked the workers' yard to wait. Wang Bang entered the main hall and took a look. He was facing a table and two chairs, as well as a seat and a square table arranged for guests on both sides. The two chairs and one square table were in a group, with various styles on both sides.
Group three. This main hall is quite large.
Wang Bang ordered everyone in the courtyard to enter the main hall, and then asked everyone to sit down. Seeing that there were many people in their thirties and forties, he bowed and asked everyone. I don’t know which one was Li Jian.
This name is also a detailed discussion between Wang Bang and Yin Shijie and Yu Danian. He learned that this person has been mining coal for the longest time and has worked with his father since he was a child. An old man in his forties and fifties, with a black and red face quickly stood up and said.
:"It's me."
Wang Bang saw that this man was the oldest among these people, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle Li, when I was in the capital, I often heard Yin Shijie and Yu Danian talk about it, saying that you are the most accurate in your opinion.
The most experienced one. Thank you for helping me first.”
The old man hurriedly bowed: "Young Master, don't be so polite. You have brought us a great favor and greeted us people, and you already thought you had already repaid."
Wang Bang said: "Yu Danian, Yin Shijie and others are younger than you, but after reading some books, I want them to manage them. Uncle Li has rich experience and help them. Do you have any opinions?
”
Although everyone didn't know what management assistance was specifically said, they also understood that they were willing to obey.[
Seeing that everyone had no objection, Wang Bang asked: "Who has a daughter-in-law who can be a female worker? The job is to cook for everyone, wash clothes, and clean the yard."
Then five or six people raised their hands, and Wang Bang said, "I will call you tomorrow."
Everyone looked at each other and looked at Old Man Li. The old man said, "Our mothers are capable, and two or three people are enough. I think my mothers don't come." Hearing him say this, someone said, "
Then my family is different. If there are too many people coming, the young master will spend money."
Wang Bang smiled and said, "I'm free to make arrangements. Today, everyone is tired. Please leave me behind for some time. I have something to ask for advice. The others will prepare for it. The construction will start tomorrow."
When everyone heard this, they were very happy and left one after another. Only He Libo, Yu Danian, Yin Shijie, and the old man Li were left in the room.
Wang Bang asked Old Man Li for advice: "The old man has been digging coal for so long, but has he studied this coal?"
The old man said: "It's not easy to study, but there are three types of coal. If the young master wants to listen, I will talk about it."
Wang Bang said, "Listen with your ears!"
Old Man Li told Wang Bang that there are three types of coal: Ming coal, crushed coal and powdered coal.
Mingmei is relatively large, and some are close to the size of a rice bucket. It requires a small amount of charcoal to ignite it. There is no need to use a bellows to blow the air when burning.
There are two types of crushed coal. Those with high flames are called "Rice Charcoal" and those with slightly flat flames are called "iron carbon". Generally, they are used when making iron. When using this coal, you must first wet it with water, and also use a bellows to assist.
Also be careful to add it at any time.
There is another type called cobalt, also called "Zhilaifeng". It is made of water and mud to make coal cakes. Coalt can be cooked, smelted, and cinnabar can be refined.
Wang Bang nodded after listening. It seemed that this old man Li was not just about the ground. He knew that people with rich experience in mining coal could judge whether there was coal underneath just from the soil on the ground.
Wang Bang asked, "Old Mr. Li, according to your gaze, there is coal in the terrain here." What he said was naturally the land he bought.
The old man smiled and said, "This is a good place. The mountains and grasses in this place are not growing well."
Wang Bang asked again: "If construction starts today, how long will it take to dig it up?"
Old Man Li said: "The well has to be dug five or six feet deep. If you find the right coal, it will take about ten days for three or four people to dig together at the same time."
Yu Dainian said: "Young Master, we can start construction at the same time in three places."
Wang Bang shook his head: "You follow my arrangements. In the future, Yin Shijie will be responsible for the silver affairs, Yu Dainian will be responsible for daily contacts and transportation, and Old Man Li will be responsible for the supervisor of the coal mining. In addition, you will be responsible for the coal mining in the future and I will hand it over to you.
to do the division of labor.”
He took out some papers that had been prepared, which stated the specific division of labor and the number of people arranged. He also ordered three people to start digging wells tomorrow, one person was responsible for preparing a bamboo pole worth more than five or six meters, and two people were responsible for preparing wooden boards and strips.
, the required size is met. Two people are responsible for renovating and preparing a turntable water truck. The artificial image is transferred to the blue basket.
Before digging, you must first build a canopy. As the well is dug, you must prepare the cutting of the wooden piles and make sure that they must be strong. Workers must protect the upper and lower parts. If you dig coal, don’t rush to take it up for the time being. Use a hollow bamboo pole to insert it into the coal seam. Three
Five days of poison gas.
At the same time, Yu Dainian was instructed to go to the blacksmith shop to create a number of safety helmets according to the drawings.[
Wang Bang looked at the winter again. Yin Shijie and the other two purchased cinders at low prices were all stored according to their requirements, which was much more than what was temporarily produced last year. However, even if all of them were used, they were just enough.
The Wang Bang ordered that the goods will continue to be received this year. The receipt price will be one cent lower than last year.
After all these were explained, Wang Bang walked around the mansion again. As he explained before, the wing room on the west side was made into a conference room style according to his ideas. He pointed to the table and chair and said to Yu Dainian Yin Shijie: "From now,"
You and I will discuss matters here."
I obeyed the orders and each went to prepare for it. That night, Wang Bang still returned to the county town to live. Yin Shijie asked, "Are the young master dissatisfied with this residence?" Wang Bang said, I have other arrangements for this residence."
Riding back to the county town, thinking about his own arrangements, he was about to follow his own ideas and operate step by step. Wang Bang felt relieved, and He Libo said, "Brother, I don't know that you still know how to dig coal
.”
Wang Bang said, "What's this? I'll let my brother see more in the future." Keep a low profile when it's time to keep a low profile, but when this small Jincheng County is about to show its strength, you'll be crazy.
The next day, I met the wives of various families. Seeing that Li Jian's family really looked virtuous and steady, Wang Bang arranged for her to take charge of the business and arranged for people to cook, wash clothes and clean on a daily basis.
The wives from each family said that they could not use these many people and gave in to each other. Wang Bang said, "You don't need to give in." There are two people who specialize in taking care of children from each family under the age of six."
He also said to Yin Shijie: "In the inner residence, make a house for a bookstore. Let children over six years old study. You need to invite a gentleman and prepare a separate residence for the gentleman."
Everyone was even more grateful for Wang Bang's arrangement. Wang Bang also posted a notice in the village that any laborers who are willing to return to the village can report to Yu Dainian, and children in the village can also study here.
Originally, Wang Bang had made such a detailed division of labor. At present, this person may not be enough. What's more, Yu Dainian's transportation team has no staff. The items needed to enter the village and the coal that needs to be transported to the capital require cars, cows and
Coachman.
As soon as the notice appeared a few days ago, the middle-aged people in the village almost all returned. Wang Bang first gave them three guan to repair the house. Everyone had something to do and had money to get it. Then the village became lively immediately, and the work started in March.
Chapter completed!
