If possible, Pei Yun would want to take all safety measures before letting people go down to mine.
But time waits for no one, and Nanshan Village cannot wait that long. If safety measures are taken, the villagers will starve to death.
Under the current situation, we need to seize the time to monetize coal mines.
You can only take one step at a time, and you can only start with simple things, such as digging waterways, ditches, and building windmills. You can only do things later and do things that can produce immediate results first.
I hope God will give me some face and allow Nanshan Village to survive the most difficult time.
After finishing his instructions, Pei Yun found a place to rest and rest.
Thinking about things can be really nerve-wracking.
Qin Qi'er fetched water, and now she had time to help him scrub the black paint off his body.
"Thank you for your hard work, sir." Qin Qier said this not only for herself, but also for the villagers of Nanshan Village.
"Who doesn't work hard?" Pei Yun said cheerfully.
"But the young master shouldn't be like this."
"Is there anything I should or shouldn't do, and no one is forcing me to do these things."
"Actually, the slave family has always wanted to ask the young master what he is pursuing." He asked carefully.
"Pursue? I think it's okay now. As for the future, I will see different things in different stages of life. I don't know what will happen in the future. If you really have something to say, can you not give it to me?
Adding to the congestion."
The last sentence adds insult to injury, which sounds like a reproach, but in fact it makes me laugh or cry.
Qin Qier understood what Pei Yun was talking about, but why did he add to the problem?
"The slave family is thinking about the young master. Only a man with three wives and four concubines can make a real man. The slave family just wants them to just covet the young master. It depends on whether they have this ability."
On that day, what Qin Qi'er said spread throughout Nanshan Village. From that time on, when those unmarried women saw Pei Yun, they all wanted to take a bite as if they saw Tang Monk's meat.
We cannot say that they are nymphomaniacs, this is decided by the current society.
There are already many boys and girls, especially in Nanshan Village.
A capable man is admired by everyone.
Women in this era have a deep-rooted idea that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines.
A capable man should have more women, because a capable man can make more women live a better life.
There is no reason to say such a thing.
In fact, this is the requirement of reality. There are fewer men and more women. This is a fact and cannot be justified.
Furthermore, the labor force is now the primary productive force, coupled with perennial wars.
Men can do more things than women, and their role is greater than women.
Although men are superior to women, it is a bad habit, but it is also an inevitable result.
Qin Qier is living today. Although she is special, many of her thoughts are the same as those of today's women.
In her heart, the young master is a man and he is so capable. There is nothing wrong with having three wives and four concubines. All she has to do is to look after the young master.
There is nothing wrong with my thinking.
Because, if you can really become husband and wife with the young master, then the other women who enter the family will be concubines, and concubines are your wife's property. Even if you have more concubines, it will only be more of your own property.
Pei Yun really couldn't laugh or cry, "You are really not afraid that I will fall in love with someone else. You must know that I am not a saint, and I cannot withstand the test."
"Then will the young master not want the slave family? Or the young master thinks the slave family is a jealous woman. If the young master can't stand the test, he can just marry her into the family."
This was said seriously.
Pei Yun was defeated and could only say emphatically: "Remember, don't cause trouble for me in the future."
Pei Yun stayed on the mountain for three days to ensure that the arrangements were implemented.
God is kind to me. It has been sunny and sunny these past three days. According to the trend, the weather will not be too bad in the coming days.
If there is any change, it is that the temperature is getting lower day by day, and winter is coming.
This is both bad news and good news.
The bad news is that people will freeze to death in winter, but the good news is that when winter comes, the coal market will come.
In three days, a lot of coal was dug out. If this batch of coal can be sold, it can temporarily alleviate the urgent needs of Nanshan Village.
Sitting on the raft with baskets of coal, Pei Yun drifted down the river.
The convenience of the stream is reflected here, otherwise the coal would have to be carried down the mountain manually.
After half a day's journey, the raft docked.
There were villagers waiting there, and the shore was still some distance away from Nanshan Village. This required people to transport the coal, and there was also an ox pulling a wooden cart.
Oxen are precious. In addition to pulling things, they can also plow fields.
The status of cattle is also not to be taken lightly. There is a law in the Qin Dynasty that killing cattle is against the law.
As far as Nanshan Village is concerned, even if it is hungry, unless it is really desperate, the cow will live until its deathbed.
Pei Yun has special treatment. He can ride an ox cart back to the village.
Due to limited manpower, the coal transportation would take many round trips. It was not until dark that the coal was transported to Nanshan Village.
After returning to Nanshan Village, Pei Yun went to see Sun Yaozu immediately. When he went to the mountains, he explained some things.
Although the remaining people in the village are old, weak, sick and disabled, it does not mean that they cannot work.
Live in the present, and as long as you have the ability to act, you have to work.
The cruel reality will not show you any extra mercy just because you are old, weak, sick or disabled.
If you want to live, you have to do things until you die.
The things Pei Yun explained are not difficult, so even the old, weak, sick and disabled can do them.
In addition to coal, the materials for making honeycomb briquettes also need yellow mud. Pei Yun's instructions were to find yellow mud.
In fact, you can make money by selling coal, so why make briquettes?
The reason is.
The cost of briquettes is lower and the effect is better.
Moreover, unique things can better open up the market.
If it's coal, you have it, and so do others.
Then why should people buy yours instead of others, unless it's a price war?
Pei Yun's requirements are not too high. As long as the price of briquettes is the same as that of coal, he won't worry about no one buying it.
The most lacking thing in Nanshan Village today is money. Only when you make money can you buy food. Only with food can you avoid starving to death.
Making briquettes also requires a mold. The mold did not stump Pei Yun and was built early in the morning.
On the fifth day, Nanshan Village began to make briquettes.
Briquettes are not difficult to make, and the method is simple. Just add coal and yellow mud, add water, and mix them in a certain proportion.
The trick lies in proportion.
It is not difficult to imitate briquettes, as long as you know the proportions.
Pei Yun is not afraid of someone imitating it. Even if someone does imitate it, he will have made money by then.
My purpose is only to help Nanshan Village overcome the current crisis. As long as people are alive, there will be many opportunities in the future.
When making briquettes, Niu Lili was the main worker, and his great strength came in handy.
The lumps of coal were knocked into powder, and then mixed with yellow mud and water, while others used grinding tools to make briquettes.
The briquettes are neatly arranged in the open space. They are dark, but it makes people happy to see them.
You know, this is something that is going to be sold for money, so you will naturally be happy after seeing it.
"Sir, if you add yellow mud like this, the product is really so good, even better than the original coal?" Qin Qier said.
Sometimes, women should ask more questions, so that they can show that men are useful and make men look good in disguise.
Of course, in fact, Qin Qi'er didn't understand that coal would be better if yellow mud was added to it. Is there any other reason for this?
"The reason is that there are many holes in the middle of the briquettes. With the holes, the area in contact with the air is larger, and the combustion will be faster and more complete."
Also, the hole is upward, which allows the flame to burn upward faster instead of spreading outward. If it is an ordinary coal block, the temperature will not only rise slowly, but it will not be fully burned, and it will be wasted."
Pei Yun had explained it in as much detail as possible, but Qin Qi'er was still confused. She didn't understand the relationship between combustion and air contact area.
But the more she didn't understand, the more profound she felt, the more amazing she thought the young master was, and the more she looked at him with admiration.
There is a woman next to you, looking at you with admiration. As a man, how should you react? Naturally, you should tell everything you know, speak everything you want, and express yourself well.
Pei Yun cleared his throat and continued: "The burned briquettes are actually of great use and can be used to grow flowers."
"The burned briquettes can be crushed and used to make soil. Such soil is light, breathable and has excellent drainage."
"The burned briquettes also contain some minerals and trace elements, which can promote the growth of various flowers and plants."
"The honeycomb cinder is granular. If used as soil, it will have pores, allowing plant roots to breathe better, which will also enhance the plant's resistance to diseases and insect pests."
"Honeycomb cinders also have a porous structure, which has adsorption and drying properties and can form a rapid dry-wet cycle."
As soon as Pei Yun opened his mouth, he couldn't stop.
Qin Qi'er on the side was just like listening to the Book of Heaven, looking confused from beginning to end.
Then I couldn't help but feel an emotion: "The slave family is really useless. I didn't understand a word the master said. I think the master feels the same way. It must be hard to talk to the slave family. I need to take care of whether the slave family understands or not."
This reaction is an expression of inferiority complex.
Yes, people always feel inferior when exposed to things beyond their own knowledge.
Pei Yun found that things seemed to be self-defeating.
In fact, this is not Qin Qi'er's stupidity. Even if he were another knowledgeable person, he would not be able to understand what Pei Yun said.
Although we are talking about simple briquettes, these are contents that transcend the times.
Pei Yun didn't want to see Qin Qi'er feel inferior, but if he just comforted her, would it make her feel that this was just a pity?
Thinking of this, an idea suddenly came to my mind: "When I have time in the future, I will teach you how to read and write."
Qin Qi'er was stunned: "What did the young master say he wanted to teach the slave family?"
Pei Yun: "Read and learn to read. In this way, as long as you don't understand, I will teach you."
