Steel isn't that easy to play, it's got blood!

Steel is different from oil. The people of the Great Song Dynasty did not know the value of oil at all, but they knew the benefits of steel. The necessities of life are not only needed for farming, but also for chopping wood and vegetables. Who doesn't need a kitchen knife? Not to mention other higher-level uses.

This is where the benefits lie, and everyone's eyes are hot. Steelmaking and ironmaking all need to use charcoal - that is, coal, which is more of a necessity than steel, because it is necessary to heat the winter, and it is absolutely impossible to do without this thing.

The economy of the Great Song Dynasty was developed, and except for the border areas, the interior was very stable - of course, bandits were inevitable, but for the overall situation, there was no fatal impact. This led to the rapid population growth of the Great Song Dynasty. Population growth brings with it a series of problems, of which fuel for heating and cooking is a major problem.

Bai Juyi's "Selling Charcoal" wrote: "Selling charcoal, cutting and burning charcoal in the southern mountains." During the Tang Dynasty, the people still burned charcoal made of firewood. But the population of the Great Song Dynasty has exploded, and it is simply impossible to rely on wood for cooking and heating – and it is not enough to cut down the surrounding trees.

The Great Song Dynasty burned coal, that is, coal.

There is a very large coal mine in Teng County, which is the Zaozhuang Coal Mine in later generations, and many people die every year around this coal mine, but this is all daily life, and no one cares. It's just that the momentum of the recent uproar is too great, and hundreds of people were killed and injured at once, so the magistrate of Teng County had to come forward.

So many people died under his rule, what if he didn't come forward and die more? Now if you can hide it from the top, you can hide it from the top, and first take the officials to the countryside to have a look.

When I arrived at the coal mine, I saw a lot of pressure in front of me from a distance, and it was full of people.

Zhixian suddenly trembled in his heart, afraid of something. There must be thousands of people, right? Why did they still have the strength to fight for so long? Don't want to live anymore?

Zhixian family history, his surname is Fang, is the distant branch of the Tang Dynasty Fang Xuanling, and he can be regarded as inheriting a little bit of the courage of his ancestors, at this time he did not stop, but accelerated his pace, and ordered the officials to desperately bang the gong, and rushed to the two sides of the opponent.

"Wang Anzhi, Duan Qigui, you two come out for me." Fang Zhixian shouted loudly.

Seeing the magistrate come forward, the people on both sides were a little restrained, and they didn't do it immediately. At this time, one person walked out of each side, both of them were white-haired old men, and those who didn't know thought that the two old birthday stars paid tribute to each other, who knew that they were mortal enemies when they met.

Fang Zhixian was also very uncomfortable looking at the two old men. It's not easy.

The mines of the Great Song Dynasty were basically in the hands of the imperial court, and a good coal mine like this could not escape the palm of Song Huizong. It's his money bag. It's just that he can't go to the coal kiln himself, and he has to contract out. There are many veins in this area, and the five-year period is a period, and when the deadline expires, bidding for mining rights will start anew.

At this time, it is not the future generations, how can there be so many exquisiteness and rules, and the big fist talk. Seeing that the bidding date is getting closer and closer, people from all walks of life have started to move.

There are two largest forces in the region, which are basically two clans. On one side, the surname is "Wang", a descendant of Wang Xi's family; On one side, the surname is "Duan", a descendant of Duan Zhixuan's family.

The two families have been fighting for mining rights for decades, they are mortal enemies, they have been fighting constantly on weekdays, and now they are facing a new bidding, and they can't suppress their hatred, so they will fight first.

Wang Anzhi and Duan Qigui are the respective patriarchs of the two families.

Under their leadership, the young adults of the two families did not know how many had died. However, for the sake of the family, no one frowned. If you die, you die, and you can't still live? If you win the mining rights, you will have money, and only with money can the clan develop and grow.

They have fought no less than 10 games recently, with hundreds of casualties and not a single result. Today, I finally recruited Fang Zhixian.

Fang Zhixian looked at this, and then at that, the two old men with wrinkled faces, one by one, their nostrils facing the sky, did not bird themselves at all. In their opinion, the two sides will not do anything for the time being, even if they give the county the biggest face. Do you still want to mediate with us? Dream about it.

The power of the folk clans of the Great Song Dynasty was very strong, far from being comparable to later generations.

The history of the agricultural era, in a way, can actually be seen as the history of clans. Especially before the Song Dynasty, almost all celebrities were born in the family. It's also easy to understand that productivity wasn't developed at that time, and learning required a lot of investment. How can ordinary people have capital to invest? Only the Maison has this ability.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the situation of "no cold family in the upper grade, no family in the lower grade" can only be said to be slightly alleviated, but it has not completely disappeared.

At present, the clan power in the countryside is still strong, and Fang Zhixian is nothing in front of the two patriarchs. Can you rely on the county to govern the locality? Just the dozens of servants under him, what is enough?

A county is so big and has such a population, the county will definitely not be able to manage it. At this time, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the will of the imperial court was terminated when it reached the magistrate. What the magistrate wants to do, and what the imperial court wants to do, needs to go through local forces. To put it bluntly, the one who really speaks in this land is the patriarch.

It's like although the owner of Wujiazhuang is dead, Ren Xiaoxiao is poking there, which is the top position. If the magistrate of Hancheng wants Wujiazhuang to do something, he has to find Ren Xiaoxiao.

Fang Zhixian is also helpless in the face of the current situation. He looked at it, and suddenly he had a strange feeling, as if he was being watched from afar.

This made him wonder. He looked up and saw a group of people standing on a hill in the distance, several of whom were raising their hands in front of him to block their faces.

Fang Zhixian was very strange, who was this group of people, and how could they still have such strange behaviors.

Qin Mu happened to see Fang Zhixian looking at him through the telescope. was discovered. But Qin Mu didn't have anything to worry about. I'm not here to be a thief, nor is I here to fight and kill, just to see the actual situation.

Fang Haoyin has already explained things to him along the way. Qin Mu knew that he was facing an even bigger problem.

No one knew the value of oil in the Great Song Dynasty, so no one would compete with him for that land. But coal is different, everyone in the Great Song Dynasty, from the emperor to the begging for food, all know that coal is a good thing and valuable.

If it's worth it, you have to grab it!

The people in front of him can be said to be all their opponents, even: enemies.

But can Qin Mu let the Guards Regiment open all the firepower and kill everyone cleanly? Obviously not, Qin Mu never thought about killing people for coal at all. This is also because he comes from the next generation, and the three views have already been formed, so it is impossible to give this order.

In fact, if he gave this order, the Guards Regiment would really carry it out without stumbling at all. At this time, the regional concept was very strong, and the Guards Regiment could barely recognize that the people of Wujiazhuang were their own people, but how could the people of Tengxian County be their own people.

They occupy the coal mine and do not let go, delaying the great cause of the regiment commander, so they must die.

All those who stood in the way of the regimental commander and the Guards Regiment were all enemies, and the enemy must be wiped out like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, without any hesitation.

Now that all the personnel of the Guards Regiment have arrived, and the five hundred people of the Zhejia Army are also here, as long as Qin Mu says a word, even without the Janissaries doing it, the Zhejia Army can level this place.

They are from the northwest, and they don't have any sense of identity with Teng County.

I don't mind killing anyone. He came to suppress bandits, and when the time came, all the people who were killed were bandits, and Song Huizong couldn't do anything to him. If this place is killed, the coal mine will be able to be taken, and when the time comes, with the ability of my brother-in-law, he will definitely be much stronger than these fools now.

The second prince had been following Qin Mu for a long time, and felt that except for their group of people, the rest were all fools - including the high-ranking officials of Bianliang and even the emperor.

Have you ever seen a drone? Do you know that my brother-in-law can talk for hundreds of miles and thousands of miles? Do you know the power of mortars? He who knows nothing, and is still in the city walls. Sooner or later, it's a death.

In fact, Zhi Kecun felt that Song Huizong and those people were already half-dead. As for when he will die, it all depends on the mood of his brother-in-law.

In this group of people, it can be said that Qin Mu is the only one who has no intention of killing at all. Even women such as Jia Hongxian Fang Haoyin also had the idea of killing them all.

Fortunately, Qin Mu didn't have a keen sense of this aspect, otherwise he would have broken out in a cold sweat, why was his side full of devils who killed people without blinking? What kind of people did I pick to be teammates?

But you can't blame anyone for that. With a sharp weapon, the murderous intent rises! They have such an epoch-making weapon, can they not have the intention of killing? Without killing, what is the difference between these weapons and burning sticks?

Qin Mu thought desperately, trying to find a solution.

In fact, the solution is not nothing. These people are fighting for nothing more than interests, and Qin Mu can give them ten times and a hundred times the benefits. With the scientific and technological means of later generations, it is trivial to increase the output of coal tenfold.

In front of me is a small coal kiln, which is closed by the state. Neither the security measures nor the production facilities can be seen.

As long as Qin Mu wins the mining rights of this coal mine, he is sure that everyone will get more benefits.

Now everyone is fighting because the bread in front of them is too small. Qin Mu's plan was to make the cake bigger. It turns out that each of you will share one catty, and now I will give you ten catties, are you still fighting? If you fight again, you will be too ignorant, and for those who are not sensible, Qin Mu will not hesitate to be violent.

He came into this world to be a builder, a revolutionary, not a philanthropist. Qin Mu wants to establish a new order in this time and space, and all those who dare to fight against this new order can die

But how can you achieve your goals?

At this time, the two patriarchs also saw Qin Mu and his party. It's strange that an outsider has come. In the past, their large-scale armed battles were extremely bloody, and no one else had already scared them away, how could anyone dare to watch. Why is it different today?

The two patriarchs each gave each other a look, and immediately two squads came out of the crowd and ran in the direction of Qin Mu.

"All on alert!" Without Qin Mu's order, Shi Yi began to perform his duties. At this time, he also let the regiment commander give an order, which is too much to look down on the commander of the Guards Regiment. Let's do these little things for the head of the regiment.

Hearing the order of the company commander, the Guards Regiment immediately went into combat mode. The artillery squad was quickly put into line, the gun commander aimed at the target, and the first gunner, the second gunner, and the third gunner each held a shell, ready to open fire. The infantry was drawn in a horizontal column, the bullets were loaded, the fingers were on the safe, and they were ready to open fire.

No matter who comes, as long as they dare to pose the slightest threat to the regiment commander, they will all be eliminated.

The Guards Regiment was well-trained, and it was only enviable to see it. It would be nice to have such an epoch-making army yourself.

But at this time, he didn't have time to think nonsense, he couldn't stand still.

The Guards Regiment did what they were supposed to do, and the Folding Army couldn't watch the excitement.

Zhe Kecun knew that Qin Mu didn't want to expose his strength too early, so he kept letting the guards wear family clothes and hide in the ranks of the Zhe family army. At the moment, there are so many people on the opposite side, and there is a magistrate, and it is even more inconvenient for the Guards Regiment to display its time-space firepower.

As soon as he waved his hand, Liang Zhi rushed out with a cavalry and stopped the comer from afar.

The other side didn't dare to rush hard. There were only seven or eight people in their team, and in front of them were Liang Zhi's thirty cavalrymen, although they were not wearing armor, they were all wearing the uniforms of the Great Song army. This made the "Wang" and "Duan" families feel a little strange and a little empty-hearted.

In the past, I had never seen the end of the imperial army. What's going on today?

At this time, Fang Zhixian also saw the Zhejia Army, and he was immediately overjoyed. With the support of the army, Lao Tzu can also shake!
