The abandoned coal kilns in western Beijing are overgrown with all kinds of weeds because no one has walked for a long time, and although most of the dead grass has been harvested by the common people and taken home to burn the fire, the road is still very difficult to walk.

There are still a large amount of coal gangue scattered on the road, and the original coal mine is in danger of slipping large pieces of ore at any time.

Not long after the group paddled against the cold wind, they came to the head of the horse in the coal washing plant, and the head of the horse was already lively.

The workers of the Infrastructure Construction Department and the workers of the Zhu's Cement Plant rushed here in a team, and because the cement needed was relatively large and the construction period was quite urgent, the Infrastructure Construction Department was planning to build several cement kilns here.

The direct production of cement in BWI eliminates the time of transportation and saves the construction period faster.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Gongzi of Zhenyuan walked on the horse's head, and their eyes involuntarily fell on the workers of the Infrastructure Construction Department who came and went.

Each person also wears a rattan hat on his head, some of which resemble a hat from the previous dynasty, but without a brim.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan held an important position in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and he was very familiar with marching and fighting, so he probably guessed the function of these rattan hats: "I take the liberty of asking, the rattan hats on these long foremen should be used to protect the head." ”

This sentence sounds like a nonsense, the rattan hat is not used to protect the head, is it used to see.

Zhu Shun glanced at the Marquis of Zhenyuan because of this sentence, and he could see that there was really not much role for the rattan hat, and the status of the military household in the Ming Dynasty was very low, and no one would follow the dress of the military household.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, only the helmet of the military household is used to protect the head, and all the other soft scarves and hard hats are basically used for viewing and wearing for others to see.

If it weren't for Zhu Shun's insistence that the workers of the Infrastructure Department must wear rattan hats, the workers of the Infrastructure Construction Department would not have worn rattan hats, which are ugly in appearance and do not keep warm in winter.

In the past two years, in addition to an accident when the workers were building the building, the rattan hat saved his life, and after several years of changes, the workers of the Infrastructure Department are not allowed to wear rattan hats.

Zhu Shun did not answer the Marquis of Zhenyuan, but asked back: "The coal kiln in the hands of Benhou occupies thirty percent of the western part of Beijing, and the Marquis of Zhenyuan also occupies thirty percent, I don't know who the remaining forty percent is in the hands of." ”

Since the coal kilns in western Beijing were abandoned, the Marquis of Zhenyuan rarely cared about the situation in western Beijing, and devoted himself to buying and selling Liaodong.

Marquis Zhenyuan looked at the chief manager who came with him, and the chief manager who got the instructions of the old man said like a few family treasures: "If you go back to the industrial marquis, there are only two owners of the largest coal kiln in western Beijing. ”

"One is my master, the other is an industrial marquis, and although there are a lot of abandoned coal kilns, they are basically in the hands of some bureaucrats and squires."

"If you want to say the most, the coal kiln in the hands of the Bao Yuanwai who came here today should be the most, accounting for about half of it."

After the chief manager finished telling the situation of the Jingxi coal kiln, he shut up and didn't say anything, and he didn't mean to ask Zhu Shun's question without authorization, even if he was very curious.

Not only was the chief manager curious, but the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Marquis of Zhenyuan had already felt very strange because they had not gone to the industrial city to come to Jingxi, and Zhu Shun's inquiry deepened the strong curiosity in their hearts.

Zhu Shun didn't explain, because there was no need to explain, Zhenyuanhou understood all this when he saw the flotation method of coal washing in the coal washing plant.

Coal washing plant.

Far away, I saw black smoke like magic, spewing into the sky from a large chimney.

The Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Marquis of Zhenyuan have already seen it, especially the Marquis of Zhenyuan, who is also very curious about the various new machinery in the industrial city like the prince, and often follows his good brother Huaiyuan Marquis into the industrial city, and he is not surprised.

The other people who came with him, the chief manager's eyelids suddenly trembled, obviously frightened by the roar of the steam engine and the billowing black smoke, and the entourage was even more unbearable, and they were almost frightened by the witchcraft here and turned around and ran.

Zhu Shun took Zhenyuanhou and others all the way to the vicinity of the coal washing pond, and after looking for a long time, he didn't see the seventh disciple Xu Jixin and the students of Jingshi University, and learned from the mouth of the coal washing plant manager that Xu Jixin had gone back to study the industrialization of steel, so he let the steward leave.

Zhu Shun stood next to the coal washing pool and didn't speak, stood on the cement floor and looked at the black stream, staring at the half-column of incense.

Half a pillar of incense was spent all the time to see a black water ditch, and Zhu Shun was not seen talking about borrowing money, so the chief manager had to stand up and be a bad guy: "Master Hou, if you have any requirements, just ask." ”

"Even if it's three points of silver interest, the manager admits it to be in charge of his own affairs, but he keeps staring at Heishuigou, I'm afraid it's a bit rude."

For the sake of his master, the chief manager stood up and became a bad person, and the tower man was also unaccustomed to seeing someone dare to be disrespectful to his father-in-law.

The man of the tower glared at the chief manager, and was about to punch him, so that he would know the fate of offending Master En.

Before the tower man could make a move, the Marquis of Zhenyuan suddenly scolded loudly: "Shut up!" ”

Zhenyuan Hou Gongzi's voice was very loud, but he was not annoyed by the rudeness of the chief manager, but was shocked by the scene in front of him, pointing to the coal that was quickly salvaged, and he stammered a little: "Hou... Hou Ye... This... This..."

As if feeling that he was embarrassed to his father like this, the Marquis of Zhenyuan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, took a deep breath of winter cold, and tried to calm himself down, but he was still extremely excited: "Where is this a black water ditch." ”

"It's clearly a golden ditch flowing with silver, no, gold!"

Flowing gold? Did the industrial Hou develop a gold mine?

The chief manager and the others looked over in confusion, and when he saw a pile of coal, his body trembled a little with excitement.

Just before the half-pillar of incense, the chief manager clearly saw that there was nothing on the ground opposite, and in just the time of the half-pillar of incense, there were hundreds of more long-term workers who could pick out the coal that could only be picked out in a day.

The chief manager didn't bother to apologize to the industrial marquis, so he hurriedly ran over, picked up a piece of wet coal, and looked at it carefully.

After seeing a cup of tea, he suddenly raised his head, looked at the Marquis of Zhenyuan and said solemnly: "Master, it is the refined coal sold on the market." ”

Zhu Shun heard the chief manager solemnly say a word of refined coal, and couldn't help but smile, where is this refined coal, it's just medium coal.

Grade B refined coal and grade A refined coal that have been desulfurized through the desulfurization process are called refined coal.

However, for the Ming Dynasty, or for the small-scale peasant economy, China Coal is already considered refined coal, and it cannot be further processed.
