The hole that the boy fell into was a completely open-pit coal mine, and the vegetation around it was quite sparsely grown, and it looked much more yellow than the grass and trees in other places, and this situation spread all over the slope.

Thinking with his toes, Li Chengyang knew that he had made a fortune.

That's coal, the mother of industry, the source of energy, the symbol of the industrial age, with this kind of coal, then as long as he runs it well, money will no longer be a problem.

I had a faint guess when I saw the girl for the first time, but I had never seen someone who was dyed so evenly with coal ash, and the situation at that time was unknown, so Li Chengyang had to act cautiously.

It wasn't until later, when he was leaving, that he saw the soot that fell on the ground under the girl's body because of the vigorous exercise, and decided to take a look first.

Fortunately, Li Chengyang never believed in any providence, although he came through, but he still firmly believed in the scientific system, and would rather believe that he had inadvertently fallen into a wormhole, rather than believe that there was a god three feet above his head.

But now he really wants to light three sticks of incense and worship, he should have such a great creation.

God also thinks that he is doing the right thing to clean up Wang Xiao? So he specially sent a pair of sisters and brothers over and guided him to this huge gold mine.

Li Yi looked at Li Chengyang in embarrassment, and after hesitation, he still spoke: "Young master, this black stone has no effect, and it is highly poisonous, this is not something that can make a fortune."

Highly toxic? It's just charcoal poisoning, it's just carbon monoxide poisoning, the ancients didn't know the reason for it, how could Li Chengyang not know.

Waving his hand: "Don't worry, your young master naturally has a way to deal with them, Li Yi, we are about to make a fortune."

Li Yi will be skeptical, but it's not good to say anything, Li Chengyang's magic is in his eyes, and now that he has said that there is a way, he naturally doesn't need to worry about it.

Li Chengyang lay down at the entrance of the cave, took out the original rope, found a stone at the bottom of the rope and put it down.

There is a depth of two zhang under the foot, and the hand feels light, which is estimated to be the bottom.

The hole in the ground five or six meters deep doesn't know when it existed, no wonder the young man's legs were broken, it is indeed not shallow.

Li Chengyang was overjoyed, grinning and laughing wildly.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he first looked around, confirmed the position of the top of the slope, pedaled and ran over, picked up a wooden stick, and cut it down a few times.

Then I watched the black ball on the stick, and the music became even more powerful.

After laughing, he rushed to the edge of the dirt slope like a wind, found a wooden stick and gouged it a few times, and then began to jump and jump.

Looking at the area of this soil slope, it is estimated that it is impossible to estimate, but the naked eye cannot see the edge, how to say that the area of this soil slope is large enough.

There is less than a handful of topsoil on the surface of this coal mine, and when the topsoil is broken, it is a coal seam.

Pulled out a small piece of coal and looked at it carefully, well, the quality is still high, and it is gratifying to look at it black.

It's already more than September, almost October, and although the weather is surprisingly hot today, it should still be cold.

The Ice Division's industry has not opened much for several days, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it will be completely shut down, waiting for the next year to continue to show its talents.

Wu Li has urged Li Chengyang more than once to think of more ways to get some more money for the Ministry of Industry.

is used to the days of having money to spend by himself, and as soon as the industry of the Ice Control Division stopped, Wu Li's whole person became a little troubled by gains and losses.

Li Chengyang is naturally also having a headache about this matter, the Ice Division is not only linked to the Ministry of Industry, but also inseparable from his Li Chengyang's restaurant branch plan, if the Ice Division stops like this, then his goal of opening the restaurant to the whole Tang Dynasty will be postponed for another year.

Now there is no need to worry, with coal, it is still such a large open-pit high-quality coal mine, and then you just need to prepare a box to hold the money.

It's not that I haven't had the idea of mining coal before, but Li Chengyang is just a top student in the history department after all, and he really doesn't know anything about the distribution of coal mines.

There is a lot of coal around Chang'an, but the distribution is too small or too deep, and there is no mining value at all.

Too small to support a large industrial chain, only selling to a small number of people can't satisfy Li Chengyang's appetite.

If you want to forcibly mine, I don't know how many lives will be harmed, Li Chengyang naturally disdains to do that kind of thing.

Now that the money has been made, the problems of the Ministry of Industry have been solved, and I have gone back to make the coal stove and the tools for preparing honeycomb coal, and everything is fine.

This time, he learned the lesson of the last time, first took out some shares to comfort and comfort Li Shimin, and then he would be red in the future and find an excuse to get involved in that hand.

Then you can make a fortune in a muffled voice.

Li Yi, who was stunned and looking at himself worried, called over, and the two of them worked together to deduct a piece of coal from the entrance of the cave, which was half a person high, Li Chengyang lifted the coal and smashed it to the ground several times, breaking the large piece of coal into a small piece that was convenient for burning.

I gathered a lot of wood around, took out a fire fold and lit it, and finally put the coal on it.

The lump of coal slowly burned up, and the burning became more and more intense.

Li Chengyang pulled Li Lizhi, who had just come over, to stand upwind of the fire, and nodded with satisfaction as he looked at the burning coal pile.

After taking a few steps closer to the fire, he shrugged his nose and took a few breaths.

Well, I didn't smell anything.

Now I'm even happier, no smell means that the coal has less impurities and is of high quality, go back and try to see if it can be used directly to make steel.

The temperature of coal is much higher than that of charcoal, and as long as it is confirmed that the content of this coal is small, it can completely replace charcoal.

"Young master, you don't plan to burn these black stones, that's not good", Li Zhi, who had watched the whole process, slapped his head until now, and persuaded Li Chengyang:

"This black stone has been used by many people before, but if one person uses it, one person will die, and if a family uses it, it will die for a family, it is really not a good thing, only the really poor people will use this, and beggars, young master, your identity, is it not appropriate."

Li Chengyang smiled at Li Yi when he heard this: "Isn't it that those poor people and beggars will not have a problem burning these things."

Li Yi thought for a moment and nodded.

It is also strange to say that the poorer the people, the safer it is to burn this black stone, and most of the poor people burn this, most of them just get up the next day with a headache and nausea, but few people die directly in their sleep.

Not to mention beggars, who don't even have a headache and brain fever.

"That's right, you don't care about it, if you really want to talk about it, there is no one in the world who understands this thing better than me", he raised his chin proudly at Li Yi.

I didn't expect that an unlucky thing like the devil in your eyes could become a mountain of gold and silver to me.

That's the power of knowledge drops.

Now when coal is burned for heating, there is no precautionary measure at all, and the coal is knocked into small pieces, thrown into the brazier, and brought into the house.

In order to keep warm, people even close the doors and windows, for fear of running out a little heat.

Is this heating or bacon?

As for those who are poor, they will not be affected much, because most of those people's homes are broken houses and windows, and the front and back are ventilated, and the soot is blown away directly when the coal is burned, and the remaining gas is still poisonous, but it is not enough to kill.

And beggars? Not to mention, it's good for beggars to have a place to live, take the dilapidated temple where Li Chengyang lived at the beginning, not to mention the ventilation on all sides, it is equivalent to living on the street, and the ventilation capacity is leveraged.

The solution is better, a briquette stove can do the trick.

In his previous life in the orphanage, Li Chengyang's favorite thing was to listen to the old dean's stories around the coal stove in winter.

At that time, there were still a few volunteers in the orphanage, and they would always bring them some snacks, but Li Chengyang's favorite was the peanuts and potatoes grown in the old yard.

As soon as winter came, the old dean took out the things he had grown, put them on the stove and roasted them slowly, and unhurriedly told him how the monkeys were making trouble in the heavenly palace.

At that time, he would get a cup of sugar water specially given by the old dean from time to time.

Holding a hot glass of water and surrounding the warm stove, a group of friends quietly listened to the old dean tell them stories.

With the sound of the wind whirring outside the house, a group of children gathered around the stove, picked up the water glass in their hands and took a sip gently, and then closed their eyes in satisfaction.

There will also be those who are hungry and pull a half-cooked peanut or a potato with only a ripe skin from the stove while people are not looking.

Quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and then covered his mouth, tears burned out, and he was still reluctant to spit things out.

At this time, the old dean became like thunder, cursing the naughty child, and at the same time looking for warm water to pour the child down, for fear that the child would be scalded out of something.

Li Chengyang has always had different feelings for the stove, but since he came out of the orphanage, he has never seen such an amiable pot-bellied stove again.

Although he had never seen it, every structure of the furnace was firmly in his mind.

There is nothing to pay attention to, as long as there is a material that can withstand high temperatures, it does not need to be high, ordinary iron can fully withstand the temperature brought by coal combustion.

For the rest, just adjust the air outlet and air inlet of the coal furnace.

Finally, add a piece of tin pipe to the outside of the house, and a stove similar to the one in the previous life can be done.

Li Chengyang couldn't wait to go back and discuss with Wu Li.

No, you should go to Chang'an County Commander first to see whose name this land belongs to.

Whether you want to grab or buy, you must get this piece of land in your hands.

The rest of the places can't be empty, and then they will order the Luoyang people of the Ice Control Division to go out more if they have nothing to do.

At present, there is nothing to do in the Ice Control Division, and Ma Zhou is still presiding over the expansion, and their group of people are idle, so it is better to go and circle the open-pit coal mines scattered all over the place first.

It doesn't take much money left and right.

The families buy and sell the land, but it is only one or two to a few taels and one acre, and this kind of wasteland that cannot grow food is even less valuable, and such a large piece of barren land may be won for a few hundred taels of silver.

This kind of open-pit coal mine land is not given to people for nothing, and now that there is such a wronged leader who is willing to take over this plate, it is too late for those people to be grateful.

When you buy it, it may only be a few hundred taels of silver, but if you want to buy it back, it will be more than that.

It's a pity that the territory of those families is a bit far away from Chang'an, otherwise they can be a little tricky.

Sure enough, technology is the primary productive force, and now the experience is incisive, even if Li Chengyang doesn't do anything, buys a few pieces of coal mine land, and then enters and exits, the money can be increased by tens of thousands of times.
