After a few days, Qin Shou finally comprehended the "old way" of internal cultivation, and it was this fur that made him a little uncomfortable.

Intuitively, my own blood was spurting and I was uncomfortable.

The point is that it's hard to be self-sustaining!

Nima!

In the past, when Ling'er pulled the curtains, she always found an excuse to escape, but now she wants to be the cow that plows the field.

It was Li Ke, Changsun Lian, and Cheng Chubi who all found that Qin Shou was a little strange, and wondered: "What's wrong with you?" Stomach ache? How often do you hunch over these days? ”

"......" Qin Shou blushed and waved his hands silently.

Fang Yiai had a black face as usual, but seeing that Qin Shou was uncomfortable, he finally asked: "Shall we go back or continue to go south to Wudi to visit the southern scholars?" ”

Although he is an inspector, the decision is in Qin Shou's hands.

"I think let's continue to go south, meet those southern scholars, and it's good to communicate with each other after all." Li Ke suggested for the first time.

Naturally, he wanted to go south.

Without him, since he wants to seek a big position, whether it is as Qin Shou said, whether it is going out to enhance the influence and military merits in the army, or developing political strength and status in Chang'an, after all, he must establish his own foundation.

Just like the battle between his father and the former crown prince to build his uncle's throne, he wanted to draw the southern nobles into his camp.

"Let's talk about it next time, when I go to Huaishui, I already have a bottom in my heart, and the waterway to continue south will only be wider," Qin Shou said.

In his mind, with his current status, it doesn't make much sense to visit these scholars.

Only if you are strong enough can you have bargaining power.

Now Qin Shou wants to go back as soon as possible, after all, there is still one thing in his heart that he hasn't done!

Coal, or rather coal!

That's the point!

......

Swimming against the tide takes a little more time than it takes.

A few days later, the crowd abandoned the boat and got on the horse.

In everyone's puzzlement and confusion, they went around and came to Mayi County, that is, Shuozhou.

Although there are discrepancies, it is also called Shuozhou.

Where is the coal?

The first choice is Shanxi!

(I remember reading a report in my previous life, saying that Shanxi has a very high coal content, and nearly 70% of the soil contains coal.) ）

There is certainly no way to mine deep coal with current technology, and only surface coal can be considered.

In his previous life, when he was in college, his roommate had a Shanxi, and he always boasted that they had a lot of coal in Shanxi, and the soil slope behind the house could be dug out with a hoe.

At first, Qin Shou didn't believe it, but later when the baby got married, he really went to his hometown, there was a big open-pit coal mine on the side, and coal could really be seen in the stone cracks on the mountain behind the house.

"This should be it!"

Qin Shou said excitedly pointing to a location.

"Here? Is there a coal here? Cheng Chubi asked with a confused expression.

"That's right, right here!"

"Dig!"

He vaguely remembered the geographical location, and it took a little effort to find it, but fortunately, although it was separated by thousands of years, the changes in the mountains and rivers were far from as big as imagined, and he finally found it!

The corners of everyone's mouths couldn't help twitching.

This mountain looks unremarkable, can there be coal underneath?

At this time, the amount of mining in Datang is not large at all, and there is still little coal after all, even in Chang'an City, it is mainly charcoal-burning, and coal is often used by those iron-striking shops or some high-ranking households.

Why?

The big problem is that finding the coal is a time-consuming and laborious task, and even if the coal can be found, digging it out is a big problem.

As far as the eye can see, there are many pebbles and bluestones on the mountain, but there are no wild grass and shrubs, and there are not even a single tree.

How to dig?

Qin Shou had already prepared, and had installed a few pickaxes under the boat before, but now he also brought them, and one of them was handed over to Fang Yiai.

"......" Fang Yiai's face turned blue.

Fortunately, Cheng Chubi and Changsun Jian also received the pickaxe, so he gritted his teeth and followed everyone to planing down.

Soon, their clothes were soaked with sweat.

It took half a day to dig a small hole, but he was exhausted.

Then substitutions, substitutions.....

Qin Shou: "Let's go on!" ”

The faces of the crowd were a little ugly.

From the time a few people came over in the morning, until twilight began to fall, Li Ke picked up the pickaxe and dug several rounds, and finally couldn't help it, and said: "Brother-in-law, where is there charcoal here, who did you hear say that there is charcoal here?" Don't be hysterical, right? ”

"yes, where this bird doesn't poop, can there be coal?"

"Gongzi Qin, this place is not right, it is full of stones......"

Several people said one after another.

Planing for half a day, full of stones, who wants to dig?

Qin Shou said with a firm look in his eyes: "It's almost dug up, dig up this layer of stone skin on it, and you can see it." ”

Everyone pursed their lips, their faces were like constipation, and they could only continue to dig.

Anyway, it's getting dark, bear with it, dig for a while, and withdraw if it doesn't work.

Qin Shou kept grabbing the freshly scraped soil with his hands, and the look in his eyes became more and more shining.

At this time, Fang Yiai was standing in a one-person-high pit, digging up, and suddenly, he poured out a basket of soil.

Everyone looked at the soil and was shocked.

How is this ..... Black soil?

What is it?

Li Ke, Cheng Chubi and others hurriedly stepped forward to grab the soil, and their eyes suddenly widened.

This is..... Carboniferous?

"Coal!"

"It's really coal!"

They stared at the upside-down thing with burning eyes, and couldn't help but exclaim.

Is it really carboniferous?

The other people's heads buzzed, and they hurriedly squeezed over to look at the past, and they were excited

Qin Shou looked at the coal that was dug up and was also excited, "Old Fang, dig a little deeper, I'll see how the coal quality is?" ”

soon

The black and shiny coal was displayed in front of everyone.

And all the eyes straightened.

it!

Did you really dig it out? Got the charcoal so easily?

It's incredible!

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I haven't come back to my senses for a long time

Qin Shou threw the coal on the ground and said with a smile: "This is anthracite? Go get some food, let's make a fire and cook. ”

Not long after, a few people came out of the forest in the distance, brought back a few rabbits and a deer, and Qin Shou had people set it on fire, ignited the coals, and then roasted them.

By this time, it was getting late, and the cold wind was howling.

However, when I gathered in front of the burning coal, I didn't feel cold at all, but I wanted to take off my clothes.

This can't help but make everyone smack.

The charcoal was red, and after burning for a long time, it finally slowly dimmed, but everyone looked at Qin Shou in a daze, and their eyes became brighter and brighter.

How did he know there was coal here?

Everyone was shocked!

You can't think about it in detail, it's frightening!

Li Ke's eyes flickered, swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, opened his mouth a few times, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Brother-in-law, how do you know that there is charcoal here?" ”

Everyone "brushed" and all turned their heads to look at Qin Shou.

Because that's really what they want to know.

Qin Shou smiled lightly and said, "I said that when I dreamed, I dreamed, do you believe it?" ”

Li Ke looked at Qin Shou's eyes like a torch, his heart was surging, what did he dream?

Do you really dream about it?

But what else can be explained?

At this time, he looked at Qin Shou blankly, and he really believed it.

Demons!

Peerless Demons!

"That'...... How much charcoal can be dug here? ”

Qin Shou pointed to several connected mountains and stomped on the ground and said: "This underground mountain is full of coal, even if you dig it for several lifetimes, you can't finish digging it for a few lifetimes!" ”

He still remembered that his roommate boasted that this open-pit coal mine had a huge area and reserves of tens of billions of tons, and that the technology of later generations could be mined for hundreds of years, not to mention the Tang Dynasty at this time.

"Goo-toot!"

When everyone heard this, their chests suddenly rose and fell, and their mouths were dry.

......

Not far from the woods

Li Jingzheng looked at them from a distance, his eyes were stunned, his eyes flashed, and he asked, "What did the person from the Baiqi Division say?" ”

Huo Ziqian: "General, they came to dig coal. ”

"Did you hear that right? Running so far for the coals? How can it be so easy to ...... coal?"

Li Jing didn't finish speaking, but he suddenly stopped, because Huo Ziqian took a piece of coal and put it in front of him.

"What is this?"

"That's right, they've dug it out!"

Li Jing's eyes couldn't help but squint suddenly, looking at the dug up charcoal in dismay, and his heart was in a trance, "Do you really know the way of heavenly calculation?"

After a long time, he said quietly: "This matter must be kept secret...... Also, report this matter to Your Majesty quickly! ”

"Subordinate Order!"

After giving the order, Li Jing turned his head to look at the man in the distance whose face was illuminated by the charcoal fire again, and the disbelief in his eyes was beyond words.

.....

Following

As soon as the morning dawned, Qin Shou said to Fang Yiai: "Old Fang, you can find the local government now and buy all these barren mountains and wild lands." ”

"After doing these things, I began to hire workers to dig coal, first transport it to the river by horse-drawn cart, and then take a boat back to Chang'an!"

I have to go back to Chang'an quickly!

Cheng Chubi: "Old Fang, take care!" ”

Everyone clenched their fists.

"......" Fang Yiai's face turned black and dark.

What does it mean?

You all went back one by one, why should I be the queen of the palace?

Am I a real inspector, okay?

But before he could say anything, Qin Shou and the others had already gotten on their horses, and their faces couldn't help but become more and more pale.

He gritted his teeth and said in his heart: Listen to my father, I will bear it!

"Second brother of the Fang family, why did you stay?" Li Jing came out from behind and patted Fang Yuai's shoulder, and said, "This person has to look forward, and the old man will tell you about his family affairs when he turns around." ”

"I'm not rare!" Fang Yiai was stunned for a moment, and then his face was as black as ink.

"yes, it's quite impulsive!"

Li Jing couldn't help but be speechless, his temper was quite big?

Not uncommon?

If it weren't for your father's face, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to you.

......

Inside Chang'an City

Li Chengqian often wanders around the 'Benxin' department store these days, because he can often see a familiar figure here.

Today, Li Chengqian came again, he stood upstairs and watched this round and jade, plump figure walk into the 'Benxin' department store, his eyes were fascinated.

Especially when she walked and shook step by step, with all kinds of charms and trembling, she sucked her whole mind into it, which was inextricable!

He couldn't help but admire, such a soft and plump, it was really perfect!

But at the same time, there was so much pain in his heart that he couldn't tolerate it.

suddenly

"Pedal ....."

The sound of hurried footsteps came, which planned Li Chengqian's thoughts, and he couldn't help frowning.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Li Jing is back, and it is estimated that Gongzi Qin is also back?" Hou Junji walked upstairs quickly and whispered to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian said lightly: "Oh? Coming back? Is there any news that there is not? ”

"I heard that in this water war, they seem to have used steel crossbows? And they went to Shuozhou on the way back, and it is said that they found coal. ”

"Also, the first thing General Li Jing did after he came back was to invite His Majesty to go to Goguryeo!"

"Steel crossbows? Carboniferous? Expedition to Goguryeo? Li Chengqian's face couldn't help but change, and he said with a faint look in his eyes: "Is this news reliable?" ”

"A relative in the Hundred Horsemen Division revealed it, and the news is absolutely reliable!"

Li Chengqian's brows were furrowed, and the cold light under his eyes flickered.

Hou Junji next to him did not speak, but waited quietly aside.

"Wu Wangke, what do you mean over there?"

Hou Junji said: "King Wu, he also went to see His Majesty, and also went to Goguryeo. ”

"It seems that Li Jing and King Wu seem to be getting closer!"

Li Chengqian couldn't help but be stunned, and looked at Pei Wanyin's back who was about to disappear in a daze, his face was cloudy, "What does this mean?" Do you want to exchange military merit by conquering Goguryeo? ”

"Lord Hou, do you think it could be Qin Shou's idea for King Wu?"

Hou Junji nodded and said, "Very likely!" ”

“”

.....

Although Qin Shou and the others set off earlier, they were behind Li Jing and they returned home, because they entered the boundary of Chang'an City, Li Jing crossed the horse into Chang'an as soon as possible.

Qin Shou, who returned home, didn't even bother to eat, so he was closed by Gao Yang.

As the saying goes, a little don't win a newlywed.

When the delicacy emerges, the condensed jade bones, willow eyebrows and red lips, and the love eyes look at each other...... So, everything changed.

Hum turned into a roar!

Reserved for crazy!

Concentrated accumulation into a volcano!

Waves roll into a tsunami......

Even the subordinates in the house were stunned when they passed by the door!

Hide your face and leave!

The wind and rain were blowing, and when everything was calm, Gao Yang stared at her big watery eyes, and asked with a flushed face: "Lang Jun, have you taken medicine?" ”

"Hey, can I eat that?" Qin Shou said stiffly: "From now on, Lang Jun, I stand up!" ”

"Hmm!" Gao Yang was delicate, and his face was fascinated.

......

Some things are really physically demanding, so it's important to replenish energy.

Meals come up.

But Qin Shou noticed a faint strangeness from Gao Yang, and couldn't help asking, "Ling'er, has anything happened recently?" ”

After a while, Gao Yang raised his head and said to Qin Shou, "Lang Jun, didn't you say that you were going to see your mother?" Mother is seriously ill and wants to see you! ”

"Oh? Is my mother-in-law's illness serious? Looking for Langzhong? Qin Shou hurriedly asked with concern.

"Quite serious...... This time, I found a lot of Lang Zhong and I was helpless, I was afraid that it would be ......" Gao Yang's eyes were red, and he was choked and speechless.

He stretched out his hand and took Wen Rou into his arms and comforted: "Don't worry, it'll be fine!" ”

"Let's go see my mother-in-law for dinner!"

"By the way," you and I told me in detail about the symptoms of my mother-in-law's illness, and what did the Lang Zhong say? ”
