Chapter 415 Mine Explosion
"Young girl, you have so many treasures in your hand. It seems that you will never take them." Liu Po has also read books, and her vision is not ordinary.
From the conversation between my daughter and son-in-law, I know that bituminous coal is made of anthracite, which is a good thing for the people, and I will not have to endure the cold of winter in the future.
However, her daughter may not be able to achieve this by saying this, after all, it doesn't sound easy.
Otherwise, coal would have existed long ago, and no powerful person has come up with a way to process the coal twice.
Kapok is also very keen on this matter. "San Master is back in the house, I will ask you the book I mentioned."
The young couple went back to the house, and Kapok asked Chu Huaijin to sit at the tea table for a while, and she went to search under the bed.
Third Master was worried that she wanted to follow her, but she stopped her. How could she get things out of the space after her?
Kapok did put a wooden box under the bed, which was not too big. She was seven months pregnant and it was difficult for her to bend down. Anyway, there was no one around, so she didn't make things difficult for her.
I directly exchanged points in the space mall for a book on the secondary processing of bituminous coal into anthracite and honeycomb coal methods.
After redeeming the book, she didn't have time to read it, so she took the book and went to find the third master.
"Here, this is this book, Master Third, please take it to read it." Kapok walked to him and handed the book in his hand.
Chu Huaijin got up and took it, and helped the princess to a chair and sat down. Then he began to look through the book in his hand, but the more he looked through the book, his eyes brighter. The method recorded in the book was very detailed, and it was accompanied by pictures, which made people understand at a glance.
"Mianmian Ben thinks the method in this book is feasible. I will go to the palace later and discuss this matter with the emperor's brother. You can use my mine as a test point to see if the method in the book can be made into anthracite and honeycomb coal according to the method in the book. After success, Mianmian will be a great hero, and the people of the Great Chu State will benefit from your method. This is a great merit."
Kapok has always known that the Third Master is a person who cares about the people and will try any thing that is beneficial to the people.
It's so good, her husband has a world-renowned heart. He is a real hero.
"The third master goes early and comes back early, and waits for you to come back for dinner." Kapok naturally supported him, otherwise he would not have taken out the book for him.
Chu Huaijin responded, and he went to the palace to tell the emperor about this. After hearing this, the emperor was even more excited than him, so he simply came down from the dragon throne and rushed to read the book in his hand.
"I also think the method in the book is feasible. This book was obtained by the Emperor's brother from the Third Princess. The Third Princess is really a lucky star in the Great Chu State. It makes me happy every time." The Emperor exclaimed sincerely.
Chu Huaijin and Youheng, he and the emperor brother carefully explained his plans. As early as the way to the palace, he had a constitution for this matter.
There is no need for the emperor to give advice at all. Entering the palace is just to inform him.
The emperor transferred the ministers of the Ministry of Works to assist the third prince in making smokeless charcoal.
This matter was put on the agenda, and all the miners were looking for coal miners. It turned out that the miners had found more than a dozen strong men.
The mining work has certain risks, and Chu Huaijin gave a wage of not low. Five hundred cigars a day, and one or two days would make a fortune.
Even if you spend one tael of silver in the capital, you will have to work for two months as other coolies.
After working for a while, there will be silver flowers during the Chinese New Year, and you will be able to build a new house in the spring of the following year.
Wealth and honor are in danger, and these men are not afraid of risks.
Lunch is also served at noon, and there is a half hour rest time. Five hours a day.
The mining of coal mines is in full swing. Miners are divided into two batches, one of which is responsible for mining coal mines. The other is responsible for secondary processing of the mined coal mines to make anthracite and honeycomb coal.
Chu Huaijin handed over the letter to the Ministry of Works to the Ministry of Works. Lord Xu of the Ministry of Works studied it thoroughly and taught it to the five subordinates.
The five subordinates learned to lead the miners to make anthracite and honeycomb coal.
I thought that coal mining would be going so smoothly, and making anthracite and honeycomb coal would be the last step, and it would be successful.
Unexpectedly, an explosion occurred under the coal mine, and three miners were killed on the spot.
At that time, there were ten miners who went down the well, one of whom was the captain who smelled an apple-like smell underground.
He has five or six years of mining experience, and smelling this smell means that the mine will collapse and explode.
The captain quickly called for everyone to evacuate, and seven people, including the captain, climbed up from the well.
The remaining three people didn't believe what the captain said, and they would have no wages if they were absent from work. They had been in vain for a short while.
This would kill the three of them if the mine exploded.
When Lord Xu from the Ministry of Works learned about this, he went to the prince's mansion in person.
"There was an accident in the prince's mine. The mine exploded and killed three miners. The official came over to ask the prince to make an idea." Lord Xu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. He was afraid that the prince would convict him of being in prison, so the black hat on his head would not be guaranteed!
Chu Huaijin didn't hide anything from the princess, and he did not ask the princess to avoid it.
When Kapok heard that the mine had died, his heart was shocked and he was uncomfortable. After all, it was three living lives, and it was also the strong labor force in the family and the pillars.
"Digging coal in a mine is a life-threatening job. Otherwise, I would not have paid 500 million yuan a day for wages. These miners also knew in advance that they were at risk of death at any time. I could compensate the three miners with a large sum of silver for humanitarian reasons, which was enough for their families to eat and drink for the rest of their lives." Chu Huaijin said coldly.
He is so rational at any time.
Kapok gave the third master a look of praise. You should know that these miners signed a death contract before entering the mine. They understood the risks, and even if they died unfortunately, they would not blame the court.
If there is a death contract, even if the deceased's family goes to the mine to make trouble, they will be indecisive and will be punished by the government for disrupting public order and thrown into prison.
The third master took the initiative to propose a large amount of compensation to the family of the deceased, which is considered to be conscientious.
"The prince is really kind-hearted. If he gives the three miners a lot of money, he can not only comfort the deceased's family, but also comfort other miners. He will not be worried about the mine explosion this time." Lord Xu's face was full of respect.
"It's not too late, Lord Xu will do this now and give it to the family of the three deceased, each of which is 500 taels. The silver will be paid by me." Chu Huaijin ordered coldly.
Lord Xu did not dare to refute anything, and he sighed in his heart that the prince was rich. He went down to the housekeeper of the royal palace to get 1,500 taels of silver and went half of this matter, and he did not dare to delay it for a moment.
One thousand five hundred taels of snowflakes, a total of several large boxes of white silver were carried to the mine, and the miners' eyes were straightened.
