Speaking of Gao Yuan, Xuan Shijing remembered the matter of Shangzhou, there is also a Qinling Tiger Qin Zhan in the Qinling Mountains, and I don't know how Gao Yuan is investigating in Qin Zhan's house now. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"You write a letter to Gao Yuan, and ask him to find an excuse to get out and go back to Chang'an immediately, and bring back the news of the investigation in the Qinling Mountains." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Master Hou."

Xuan Shijing rubbed his forehead: "By the way, what extent is it over there in the Daozheng Fang?" ”

"Master Hou, the old mansions and dilapidated yards in Daozheng Fang have been demolished, and now the people we hired are starting to clean up those waste materials outside the city."

At the foot of the mountain over there, a lot of people were arranged earlier, opened a kiln, fired cement, and now Xuan Shijing has not seen the finished product, and I don't know what the situation is, without cement, even if the Daozheng Fang is cleaned up and the house built is still like that, the money that the Chamber of Commerce has invested in the Daozheng Fang over the years has basically been wasted.

"In the past two days, we will send people to Qinling, and let the people over there hurry up to fire the cement, otherwise we won't be able to start construction here, and it will really be unfinished." Xuan Shijing said with a frown.

"Master Hou, the cement you mentioned, our people over there have been experimenting for a year, and these days I heard the workers there say that the temperature in our kiln does not seem to reach the level you said, and the difficulty is here." The money pile replied cautiously.

"Not enough temperature? What do they burn? Xuan Shijing asked.

"Carbon."

Xuan Shijing's question made the money pile stunned, what else can be burned besides burning charcoal?

Hearing Qian Dui's answer, Xuan Shijing was speechless for a moment, guarding such a large coal mine in Guannei, burning cement and burning charcoal? What about coal?

After being stunned for a while, Xuan Shijing reacted, now a large amount of coal is buried underground, even if it is burned in the charcoal basin of the Hou Mansion in winter, it is charcoal.

"Bring me the map of the gate." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes." After hearing Xuan Shijing's command, Qian Dui turned around and rummaged through the large row of bookshelves on the fifth floor, according to the books posted next to the bookshelf, and soon, Qian Dui pulled a scroll out of the vase next to the bookshelf, and walked in front of Xuan Shijing again, and spread the scroll on Xuan Shijing's table.

Xuan Shijing began to carefully study the map of the pass, compared the terrain in his memory, and roughly circled two places: "Find a few experienced ore exploration masters, in these two places, take people to dig, find a black, softer ore, and report it immediately after finding it." ”

"Yes, Master Hou." The money pile answered.

Qian piles of things, never ask why, since his own Hou Ye wants to find this kind of ore, naturally there is a use for Hou Ye, as a subordinate, you only need to do things according to Hou Ye's instructions.

Xuan Shijing didn't expect that he would also be a coal boss one day, and when he waited until this winter, maybe the Hou Mansion would be able to have a stove, and in a few years, there would be heating.

"Let's do it, by the way, I will post to Wang Chongji of the palace, saying that this afternoon, I will prepare a banquet in the Xuanwu Building, and invite Lord Wang to come over and talk about it."

"Yes."

The money pile is gone, Xuan Shijing's eyes are still on the map of the pass on the table, coal mine, for the time being, this is an inexhaustible coal mine, with coal mine, not only can the cement be burned, but the iron smelting of the Tang Dynasty can also go to a higher level, which is just right for His Majesty Li Er.

Xuan Shijing leaned down, looking at the two places that he had circled, eight or nine were not far from ten, they were the great harmony of later generations......

Putting away the scroll with the map drawn and putting it aside, Xuan Shijing leaned back on the wide chair, closed his eyes, and thought quietly.

Coal for him, in addition to burning cement, that is, heating in winter can be used, as for iron smelting, Xuan Shijing does not intend to contaminate that thing, whether it is salt or iron, this thing can not be touched, if possible, if it is not for the raw tea of the Tang Dynasty is too difficult to taste, Xuan Shijing will not even be contaminated with tea, originally a pound of raw tea is just dozens of hundreds of texts, after Xuan Shijing made the method of roasting tea, and then circulated to the market, the lowest is hundreds of runs, and the huge profits in it are self-evident.

And if this coal is directly reported to the imperial court, Xuan Shijing believes that in the end, it is not the imperial court that will benefit the most, and this piece of fat will still have to be shared and eaten by those families, which makes Xuan Shijing how willing.

If it is said that it is handed over to the country, it is okay, after all, the Xuan family in Chang'an is favored by the emperor, but if it falls into the hands of those families, then Xuan Shijing will feel uncomfortable.

Looks like you'll have to figure it out.

For a while, Xuan Shijing thought of the Lu Guo Mansion and the Yiguo Mansion, after telling His Majesty Li Er about the coal mine, in the end, this matter still had to fall into the hands of the family, since he couldn't escape from this circle, he simply did his best to be a good person. Besides, the military is in the same vein, and it is not worrying about people.

Those who have no source of livelihood who have retired from the battlefield can be properly arranged in the coal mines, naturally, Xuan Shijing will not employ people like those black-hearted coal kilns in the future, and according to the current demand for coal, there is no need for such large-scale mining.

Thinking of this, Xuan Shijing spread out the white paper on the table, picked up the pen, dipped it in ink and began to write.

It's like this, but there must be a charter, and the benefits must be explained to Cheng Yanjin and others, otherwise, how could the grandfathers of the country arrange those retired soldiers to do such hard work.

In the future, Datang is estimated to have to go to re-education through labor...... While thinking, he laughed, full of the appearance of a coal boss.

It seems that Wang Jingzhi is a very suitable candidate......

After having lunch in the Xuanwu Building, Xuan Shijing asked the shopkeeper to prepare a table of banquets in the private room on the third floor facing Xuanwu Lake, waiting for Wang Chongji's arrival, meeting with Wang Chongji today, Xuan Shijing is eighty percent sure that he can negotiate things, after the negotiation, Wang Jingzhi is in Chang'an, and he will not be able to jump for a few days, by the way, Xuan Shijing also wants to inquire with Wang Chongji to see if he knows about his mother's encounter with the assassin outside Chang'an City.

This matter is definitely not Wang Jingzhi's doing.

In the palace, after Wang Chongji received Xuan Shijing's invitation, he hesitated, then packed up and went to the Xuanwu Building to attend the meeting, while Wang Jingzhi was in the study, with his face intersecting.

"Second young master, the Zheng family's side, there is no reply, how should this be?" The servant who reported Xuan Shijing's whereabouts to Wang Chongji that day stood in the calligraphy square, with a little anxiety on his face, and told Wang Jingzhi what happened to him in the Zheng family.
