Chapter 873 Mining Area

Liu Shidao's grouting process method is a big rebellion for craftsmen, but for large merchants who make porcelain in batches, it can be called against the sky.

It is not good to make pottery, it is easy to be seen flawed, but there is a process of hanging glaze to cover up the traces of porcelain, and it is easy to obtain porcelain fetuses in batches.

And because of the support of the mold, the difficulty of making a large tire was overcome by this method!

It can be said that in the tens of millions of benefits of several sea trades, this baby has one-third of the credit, and this medal is the biggest beneficiary - Zhao Ji specially approved.

For example, this Meizhou assault built a house for 30,000 people, in addition to the masonry beams and columns, the walls and tile roofs were quickly built with bamboo reinforced concrete, which was Liu Shidao's idea.

So although Su You didn't want to give him this medal, he had to send it even if he pinched his nose.

The next day, Su You took a horse-drawn rail car to Anfeng Prefecture to inspect the coal mine.

Even in the premium carriages in which the managers traveled, there was nothing comfortable about the journey.

The carriage is similar to that of the small buses of later generations, with a car that can seat 30 people and two horses that can be easily pulled.

The carriage is also divided into passenger and cargo dual-use, and can also be hooked, with four horses when the carrying capacity is large, there is no problem in pulling six carriages with a load capacity of five tons, and it can transport thirty tons of coal at a time.

But that's slow, unlike now, from Yezhou to Anfeng Coal Mine, just 25 kilometers, more than an hour to arrive.

Of course, this is also related to the inspection of the road clearing along the road.

All the way to the top of the mountain, under the brown soil, many of the rocks exposed are black.

Shi Lian introduced that it was also coal, but it had little mining value.

The Anfeng Coal Mine is an endless primeval forest, and now it is only a few valleys that are being developed.

At the end of the railway, there were several branches, which led to several valleys.

The largest valley is called Yuhuang Mountain, and part of the valley has been stripped of its ground, revealing a swarthy mountain.

"Boom!"

A puff of black smoke rose from the mountain, and it was the demolition team that was carrying out the blasting operation, and then a large area of the hillside collapsed with a clatter.

Countless people shoveled coal into the carriages of horse-drawn carts, and then pulled the wagons and sent them to the railway station for transshipment.

It has become a mining town, and the station is both the town center and the coal mine office building.

There are 3,000 miners in the entire Anfeng Coal Mine, who are able to excavate and produce an average of 2,000 cubic meters of anthracite a day, which is 3,000 tons in weight.

This is the advantage of explosives and open air, and several coal mines in the Great Song Dynasty, the largest of which have a daily output of only 300 tons, are crying greedily.

The supplies here are all transported by Yezhou, the salaries of the Sitong merchants are not bad, the miners of Jiaozhi are well paid, the town is expanding in all directions, and many houses with wooden walls and tiled roofs are also being built on both sides of the planned streets, all of which are the homes of the people in the town who got rich first for themselves.

There are also hardware stores, pubs, restaurants, grocery stores, and a ready-to-wear store in the town.

After looking around, Shi Wei frowned: "Why is there no health center?" There are also no sewers. ”

Shi Lian had a bitter face: "The sewage ditch is easy to manage, but the doctor is really difficult to handle, and now there is a shortage of doctors everywhere......"

Shi Wei thought for a moment: "Why don't I find two senior brothers to come over, it won't work like this." ”

Su You comforted: "It's only been a year, and it's good to be able to repair the road, but it's good to have a Taoist temple, in addition to treating people, you can also preach and accumulate Taoist skills." If the Heavenly Master Mansion can vigorously support it, I can ask the prefectures and counties of Jiaozhi to build Taoist temples for the Heavenly Master Dao, and by the way, it will become a hospital. ”

Shi Wei smiled and nodded: "Opening the altar on the edge of the ancestral court of the Buddhist family, there is no one who is unhappy to come to the Heavenly Senior Brother." ”

At the edge of the washing area, Su You found a big black stone: "Small stone, this is too much, right?" This thing can also be thrown around? ”

Shi Lian was criticized just now, and quickly repented: "Then I'll find someone to throw it in the ditch in a while." ”

Su You followed with a kick: "Look at this shell pattern, this brightness, this is coal essence!" It's also called Moyu! Are you crazy about you! ”

Shi Luan was a little flustered: "What can you do?" ”

Su You instead said "uh": "Yes...... Engraved seals, ornaments ......"

Shi Lian pouted: "Then whoever likes to want it, I now grasp the overall situation every day......

This was despised, and Su You had no choice but to touch his nose: "I want it, I'll take it away in a while." ”

In the early days, the coal mine was mined by the captive army, which can be said to have only ensured the most basic survival, similar to the labor reform, and has not kept up in many aspects until now, which makes Shi Wei very dissatisfied.

Su You also felt that it would not work like this, so he set up the methods of "release after completing his sentence" and "commutation of sentence for meritorious service", and at the same time demanded that special care be given to the mining area in terms of people's livelihood, housing, and medical care.

For this reason, Shi Wei specially inspected the coal mine for two days, and Shi Wei gave the health management regulations of the mining area under the current conditions, promoted several people who had medical experience to serve as temporary hygienists, and conducted emergency training for some simple medical aid.

This reminded Su You of the artifact of the barefoot doctor, but the Jiaozhi area believes in witches and does not believe in doctors, so maybe the natives are even more resistant.

The best way is still the Heavenly Master Dao, not to mention witchcraft, thunder law will be the capital, there is a system and inheritance, and the medical skills are also high, they are the artifacts to deal with local witches and gods.

When I got back, I wrote to them.

Coal mines are like this, the scene of gold and silver mines is even more unimaginable, taking advantage of Shi Wei's training time, Su You rode a horse to the golden cave on the border of Guangyuan Prefecture to investigate precious metal mining.

The situation was miserable, but Su You was an eye-opener, and he saw what the golden vein looked like for the first time here.

Inside a cave, the torches shone brightly, and the ore was full of glittering gold.

Technicians draw circles with ink pens on the walls of the caves, and masonry chisels holes in those places, where detonators are inserted.

After an explosion, a thick wave of gunpowder smoke rushed out of the mine, and when the dust had subsided a little, the masked miners entered the mine with torches and began to push ore out with chicken carts.

A huge ram swirls around the stream, smashing up chunks of ore.

A mechanical sieve then separates the metal from the stone to extract the coarse gold.

There are also countless people on both sides of the mountain stream in the mining area, panning for gold with wooden dustpans, they are all Tibetan people, and they are organized by the leaders of the mountainous areas here.

More of the sand is sent to float beneficiation, using mercury, which can easily separate the gold from the ore, allowing production to increase by leaps and bounds, but the natural pollution and human toxicity are very serious.

The same is true for the smelting of silver mines, where coarse silver is used to remove impurities with lead, and the snowflake pollution caused by lead oxide is also very terrifying.

The guards here are very tight, and the people who come here are all heavy prisoners, and Su You estimates that these people will probably not live to the day when they are released from prison.

Copper smelting is slightly better, but it also uses a large amount of sulfuric acid, which can be said to be the hundreds of gold caves on Jiaozhi Road today, which are hundreds of hells.

There is no better way to improve this place, and it can be said that every currency in Jiaozhi Road is stained with the blood of these prisoners.

can only tell Liu Ji that Jiaozhi is not short of food, at least in terms of food, so that these people can be full.

The inspection took eight days, and by the time he returned to Yunzhou, the "South China Sea Convention" had been drafted by Li Wensheng and Chao Buzhi under the auspices of Li Shunju.

This was the first time in history that an international maritime treaty was signed, and for the first time on the sea, there was a law governing the behavior of ship owners.

In this fair, the most profitable commodities were glazed palace lamps, glazed mirrors, porcelain, soap, beeswax cast ornaments, pearl products imitated by Seluro and clams products.

The Ten Treatises on Wisdom says: "There are seven kinds of treasures: gold, silver, glaze, pear, chariot, agate, and red pearl. ”

Biliu glass is glass, pear is glass, red pearl is not a red pearl, nor is it a coral bead, but a kind of artificial glass beads, is a secret glass on the border of Nepal and Tibet - Xueba beads.

Xuebazhu is the secret recipe of the Tubo craftsmen in the northwest of the Erlin Department to the great witch, out of respect for the craftsmen, the secret recipe has not been announced to the public, and it is still in the hands of a very small number of people.
