Chang'an West, outside Guanghua Gate.

The people who dug the ice out of the river were still densely packed, except for the team organized by the original government, and others united with others.

The people who united did not provide ice for the ice sculpture exhibition, they specifically sought out wealthy people, and chose the best places to get ice.

The price of ice is naturally high, some people are responsible for talking, and some people organize people to do the work.

Whoever does a good job will get more money.

Several groups of people sometimes have to fight for a good place.

Fortunately, there were people from the yamen who watched, and they did not get injured or sick, let alone kill anyone.

In addition to providing ice labor, wooden racks were erected in the lower reaches of the rivers and canals outside the city, and briquettes were shaken with dustpans.

Since the nearby coal mining site collected money, coal face has become a good thing.

They followed the example of the migrant workers of the Li family Zhuangzi, shook the briquettes out and sold them to the coal-burning families in the city.

There is no water to wash the coal in the place where the coal is dug, it is all dry coal noodles, and the snow has fallen, and the upper layer is frozen hard, and the coal surface inside is put in an open box in the car.

The rope on the flower was covered with a straw curtain, and a cart of briquettes was transported back, and the water was directly stirred by the river, and briquettes were rolled out.

Just this briquette, it's also organized.

Someone called on a group of people who had no livestock or carts, and carried them by manpower from great distances, including their backs.

Go out in the morning and come back in the afternoon.

When I was carrying it, I occasionally stole some good coals, and the price was naturally different when I got together.

Others pooled money together and hired a car to transport coal back and forth.

When I had more money, I bought my car and livestock, and found someone to shake the briquettes.

There are also contradictions between each other for price and manpower.

Chang'an City has begun to be divided, which fang, or a fang, east, west, north and south belong to whom, others are not allowed to sell.

Pei Yaoqing stood next to the place where the ice was fetched, listening to what dozens of people near Zuo said, and shook his head helplessly.

"Sure enough, there were endless disputes, and the poor people found a job to make money, but the poor also bullied the poor."

Pei Yaoqing remembered what Li Yi said, it was useless, he saved the suffering, and when he turned around, he made others suffer.

Some of the people in Pingkangfang are willing to be managed in a unified manner, and some of them actually moved out of the imperial family and relatives, and they don't care about their own county orders at all.

However, the organization's activities still need to be organized to give obedient people the opportunity to earn more money.

I believe that others, driven by interests, will come closer.

Pei Yaoqing thought about it and walked to the south, where there were briquettes shaken.

But the further downstream ones have come up, and they want to fight and kill.

Shake the briquettes with water, and the water with the coal surface flows to the ground to form a layer of ice, and continues to flow into the river.

The village where I live below is gone, and I can't wash my clothes or drink them.

Generally, in this case, you don't look for the government, and you just bring a large group of people to rush over.

"How are you doing right now?" Pei Yaoqing asked the official who followed next to him.

"Retreat to the back, the road to fetch water has to take a few more steps, and a few shallow pits have been dug, and the water is directly connected to the coal."

The official introduced the situation of the gathering place in front of the briquette.

The yamen ordered that coal water should not be allowed to enter the river, otherwise people would be arrested.

Pei Yaoqing listened, and after another moment, he arrived at the place.

Dirty, the first feeling is uncomfortable.

Piece after piece, the ground was black coal dust, some frozen, and some were dusty when the wind blew.

Only a few of the people who worked wore masks made by themselves and learned from the Li family Zhuangzi.

The others had black faces, noses and eyes, and when they opened their mouths, black saliva flowed down the side of their mouths, and they took another sip.

"That's right, that's not the case, you've seen Li Yi there, they shake the briquettes and look clean?" Pei Yaoqing didn't dare to be sure.

When I watched it that day, I only remembered that I had worked a lot, and I forgot to shake the briquettes.

But he can assure you that this is definitely not the case as it is now.

The officials around him have been with him, and they are also reminiscing, but they can't remember, what's going on? How did Zhuangzi shake it?

"Send men on horseback to see, and they can't be told to do the same, for the spring will melt, and when it rains, the river will be black again."

Pei Yaoqing simply didn't want to, so he asked a person to go over there to take a look and learn.

There were officials who rode around the city on horseback, and they ran fast to the east.

"Today's riverside wind is good, yes, put up the sail windmill, connect the basket with the slime, the mold must be controlled, don't lie down......"

Coincidentally, Li Yi is also watching the briquette shake today, which was familiar, familiar with the rules, and familiar with the process.

Now start to use the tool, the briquettes are first to reconcile the coal surface, and then the rows of horizontal and vertical isolation become a square.

Put the cube in a dustpan and shake it, grind off the edges and corners, and it becomes a briquette.

The reason why small squares are not burned directly is because the squares can be stacked together and are impermeable.

No matter how the round briquettes are stacked, there are gaps, which are easy to burn.

Originally, the mold was made of a horizontal wooden stick connected to a vertical wooden stick, and the coal was pressed hard by the person holding it down.

Now it is replaced by a lattice of metal sheets, and the wooden frame is tied with a rope, connected to the lattice, and it falls down, and a small lump of coal appears, fast and not tired.

As long as there is wind by the river, the windmill with sails is loaded, like grinding, and stirred as soon as it turns.

Shake the briquettes without a dustpan, change to a pedal drum type, a pile of square coals poured into it, step on it, the coal rolls in it, and the edges and corners are grinded off.

Other places where coal faces are stacked are covered with straw curtains to prevent the wind from blowing around.

The official who came on horseback saw it and was entangled, this was not what he wanted to see.

He wants to see the more primitive kind, how can others learn it now?

He dismounted and came up: "Li Dongzhu, how did they shake it before?" I mean the ashes, and others outside the city shake it, and it doesn't look the same. ”

Li Yi patted his head: "It's my fault, first use a stone stone to flatten the ground, don't use it in winter, then spread a layer of loess, operate on the coal surface, pour some water when the time comes, and clean it up together." ”

"Can it still burn? There is coal with loess. The official recalled it and determined that the soil could not be burned.

"Five parts of coal or four parts of coal, plus one part of loess, can be burned. I'll teach you how to make a stove for honeycomb coal.

You can walk with it, more than a dozen catties, and you can put a small pot on it. The disadvantage is that there is no chimney, which burns people in the house.

You first let them level the land, and then transport the loess, our place has no shortage of loess. ”

Li Yi considered teaching others to make honeycomb coal, and the stove is easy to make.

After Li Yi finished speaking, he turned around and left, went to find a craftsman, he remembered a very useful small tool, making honeycomb coal is faster than shaking briquettes and beating coal billets.

Just press one by one, no need to add additional ingredients.

The servant himself stood there and muttered several times, wrote it down, and mounted his horse to go back.

Before noon, the place where the briquettes were shaken began to be cleaned, and the coal piles went to the side, and the loess was brought to spread a layer, and the upper stone was pressed and then a layer was laid.

Operate on this, and shovel it out with the loess when you clean it up, and it is clean.

Li Yi's Zhuangzi craftsmen also made things, and the blacksmith's workshop was building.

In front of me is a three-inch diameter bamboo tube, with knots at the back, a few holes drilled in the knots, and the bottom of the thin bamboo is sharpened and inserted into the holes and wedged firmly.

The hole in the middle is the largest, and a bamboo pole that is two circles thicker than the thin bamboo is riveted in.

Take it to the place where the slime has been reconciled, dip it in water first, and press it directly against the coal pile.

Move to the side, put a mound on the ground, pick it up, a honeycomb coal is ready, dry it in the sun, and dry it.

"The disadvantage is that it is easy to break, the workshop makes iron, let's see if it is easy to use?" Li Yi handed over the things to the migrant workers next to him.

The other party followed Li Yi's example, dipping it in water, inserting, moving, piercing, and lifting it.
