Du He scratched his head and said in his heart, this old fox is too shameless.

Demolitionist, huh?

What a high-tech profession.

In this day and age, there is one, which is definitely the treasure of the treasures.

Zhang Jian, this guy, took him half a month to train.

Li Er actually wants to train a group of blasting masters in five days?

Seeing Li Er's smug face, Du He wanted to rush up and beat him...... Just thinking about it, of course.

He smiled and said: "Your Majesty, no problem, no problem, don't hide it, my Datang Vocational and Technical College is about to open, and it is just right to train this blasting master to open a major, but the tuition fee is a bit expensive." ”

Li Er frowned, thought about it in his heart, and said, "I will give you five hundred yuan to train ten demolition masters for me." ”

Five hundred texts?

Ten people?

It's not enough to feed ten people.

Li Er thought about it.

Du He was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "No problem, no problem, when Datang Vocational and Technical College opens, I will definitely inform Your Majesty in advance." ”

"That's pretty much it," Du He said proudly, "The cash-for-work needs to be started as soon as possible, and there are still more than 10,000 victims who have nothing to do, Du He, don't let me down." ”

After speaking, Li Er left with a smug face.

Du He looked at the back of Li Er leaving, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

A few days later.

Chang'an International Shopping Center was officially launched.

Datang Construction Company hired 5,000 people in one go and invested in the construction site of Yonghe Liufang.

Duhe immediately took the drawings of the previous design and made some modifications and improvements.

In the end, it was determined that the shopping center building had 12 floors instead of 18 floors, and the entire shopping center was square on the outside and round on the inside, and the appearance looked very domineering.

Moreover, Duhe no longer uses traditional wood as the raw material for the construction of Chang'an International Shopping Center, but prepares to burn red bricks as the raw materials for the main body of the building.

In this era, although there were already fired bricks, they were not used on a large scale, and the technology of burning bricks was backward, and the quality of the fired bricks was not good, so they did not begin to be widely used.

What Duhe wants to do is to change this situation.

The first step in improving the quality of fired bricks is to change the use of wood and use coal.

Coal has been recorded since the Qin and Han dynasties, but it has not been officially used until the Tang Dynasty, for two reasons, one is that people in this era do not have much demand for coal, and the other is that the mining technology is backward, and coal mining is not cost-effective.

In Du He's memory of his previous life, there were no coal mines around Chang'an, but near Lantian, there were a large number of coal mines, and there were many open-pit coal mines.

Early in the morning.

On the square of the headquarters of the Dream Group, there are a total of ten horses, five carriages, and more than ten people, all of which are ready to set off at any time.

Looking at these more than ten men, all of them are mining masters invited by Du Lotus from Chang'an City with a lot of money, and most of these people are good at mining iron ore for the imperial court in the past.

The man at the head was in his twenties, not strong, his face was like bronze, and he looked very tough.

This guy's name is Mu Zongsi, he was originally a mining craftsman in the Ministry of Industry of the DPRK, with outstanding ability and a promising future, but because he offended a Shangguan, he was framed by the other party, made a big mistake in an iron ore mining, and was finally demoted to a concubine, and then he went incognito.

Mu Zongsi had known Du He's name for a long time, but he was not interested in Du He's idea of finding black soil, and if it weren't for Du He's employment price, two yuan a day, he wouldn't have come to help.

In addition to Mu Zongsi and others, Du He only took Lu Bu, Xu Zhengdao, and five guards, and set off in a light car, but the direction of the convoy was towards Lantian County in the southeast. In Duhe's memory, there was a large open-pit coal mine in the west of Lantian County in later generations, which was very easy to mine and had amazing reserves.

……

Chang'an City, in an unknown courtyard.

A middle-aged man appeared in a hurry.

He said to the ghost god not far away: "My lord, Du He has already left the Dream Group with people and headed towards Lantian County. Most of the people who followed him this time were some craftsmen, with only a few guards. ”

Swish.

The ghost god turned around, and said excitedly in his voice: "Okay, hmph, I thought that Du He would be a turtle with a shrunken head, but I didn't expect it, hahaha, this is a good opportunity to kill Du He, tell Cui San, let him stop the matter on Ma Zhou's side first, and immediately mobilize manpower, this time, this seat will personally take action and kill Du He." ”

"Yes!"

Half an hour later, the ghost and god sneaked out of Chang'an City with people and quickly headed in the direction of Lantian County.

……

At sunset.

Du He and the others had already come to the hills in the northwest of Lantian County, about thirty miles away from Chang'an City.

Du Ho immediately ordered everyone to set up tents and prepare to set up a temporary base here.

After the tents were all set up, everyone ate dry food, and then began to survey under the leadership of Du He and Mu Zongsi.

It is said that it is a survey, but in fact, it is not assisted by high-tech instruments, but is completely based on experience and observation.

The craftsmen held shovels and iron drills more than one person high in their hands, and then under the command of Mu Zongsi, everyone inserted the iron drills into the ground from time to time, and then pulled them out to observe and see the color change of the soil stained on the iron drills.

At the same time, Mu Zongsi also sent people to search for villages nearby, and if there were villages, he asked the local villagers whether there was black soil around.

Black soil is the name of coal in this era.

I worked till dark, and I only went out a mile or two, but I found nothing.

Du He gave the order, and everyone returned to the camp.

Just when everyone was gnawing on dry food, they saw Xu Zhengdao, who had disappeared not long ago, come back with two wolves.

These are two fat wild wolves, fat and strong, at first glance they are a tyrant in the mountains, and they are usually bound to be the king and hegemon in this deep mountain, but they still can't escape Xu Zhengdao's archery.

Xu Zhengdao said proudly: "Brothers, eat roast wolf meat tonight!" ”

Everyone cheered.

Eating meat, for many of the people present, plain is a luxury.

When Du He saw these two wolves, he simply said: "What a waste of roast wolf meat, why don't you have a pot of wolf meat soup tonight." ”

"Good!"

Under Du He's command, several craftsmen who had previously worked as butchers immediately took the knife, and in a short time, the two wolves were skinned, shaved, cleaned, and then put into a large iron pot with boiling water and began to stew.

Although there were only a few simple spices, the smell of wolf meat spread everywhere, and everyone couldn't help but start drooling.

At the same time.

In the mountains and forests in the distance, under the moonlight, more than 30 people can be vaguely seen buried here.

It is the ghosts and gods who lead the way.

……

(The dragon set [Mu Zongsi] appeared!) Brothers, there is a second watch today, and a wave will break out tomorrow, at least six watches. ）
