In the case of Luo Feide's suicide after the coal corruption incident, Feng Yunshan ordered a thorough investigation, and soon a cadre of squires headed by Qin Xinhui, the prefect of Shaozhou, especially the personnel of the 'Qujiang Coal Company', will investigate all the people involved and list all the people involved. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Through the tracing of the villagers who transported coal in the 'Qujiang Coal Company', nearly a dozen dens of coal storage were all identified, and a total of countless coal were found. Because there was too much coal to figure out the exact amount, Feng Yunshan asked Liu Shengbang to interrogate Qin Xinhui and Qin Xinyuan, the actual controllers of the 'Qujiang Coal Company'.

Qin Xinhui was reluctant to admit it at first, and even more unwilling to disclose the specific amount, but later, after Liu Shengbang took out two "mini pills" that he had used to deal with Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, and forcibly fed them for a quarter of an hour, he immediately lost his mind and confided in whatever he asked.

It turned out that after Qin Xinhui learned that the Shengwang Mansion was going to build a large steel plant in Shaozhou Mansion, he pondered how to use this opportunity to gain benefits, so he set his sights on the Quren Coal Mine. First, he joined the company, and then used Roffield's identity to buy coal and hoard it, and when the steel mill needed coal, he came forward to sell the coal for a profit.

Qin Xinhui didn't know exactly how much coal there was, he only knew that the total amount of coal hoarded was roughly about 10,000,000 catties.

Feng Yunshan converted, almost 50,000 tons.

After digging up the coal, there is no scruple and can deal with these people.

Fortunately, the ordinary soldiers in the 18th Brigade were basically not involved, only more than 100 of Luo Feide's personal guards were involved, and it was all because of Luo Feide, Feng Yunshan generously only punished a small part of his bad personnel who persecuted the miners' leaders and beat the miners, expelled them from the captive army, and entered the mine to mine as a person who was guilty of meritorious service.

After confirming that the soldiers of the 18th Brigade were still available, Feng Yunshan set off a bloody storm in the area of Qujiang County in Shaozhou, pulling out all the local squire forces.

The squires headed by the two brothers Qin Xinhui and Qin Xinyuan established the 'Qujiang Coal Company', and absorbed nearly 90 local squires to invest in it, Feng Yunshan did not relent, and arrested all the nearly 100 squires, confiscated the family property, and the leader Qin Xinhui, Qin Xinyuan and more than 10 wealthy squires were all beheaded to show the public, and the rest of the coerced men went to the mine to dig coal, and all the women and children were sent to Qiongzhou Island and handed over to the Hakka people who moved to take care of them.

The rest of the villagers, those who started the trouble and instigated the trouble, were all arrested, fined and confiscated for three years to go down to the mine to mine, and only half the salary was paid.

The iron-blooded methods of more than 4,000 soldiers of the 18th Brigade made other small squires and wealthy families in Shaozhou Mansion and Qujiang City and Qujiang area inhibited, and even the villagers did not dare to go out at home in fear, and for a while, the entire Shaozhou Mansion was dull.

At this time, Feng Yunshan asked all the officials of Shaozhou Prefecture, Qujiang County, and townships at all levels to dispatch, announcing that all the confiscated squire's fields would be rented at low prices by the townships and towns at all levels in Qujiang County, which would benefit the people. Suddenly, the villagers in the Qujiang area cheered, thinking about applying for cheap public rental land, and some even wanted more squires to make trouble, so many fields were confiscated.

With this sweetness, the villagers of Qujiang soon became active again, not only did they lose their resentment against the Shengwang Palace, but the rumors of mining and coal mining to destroy feng shui were much smaller. In addition, when they heard that after the opening of the coal mine, they would develop a steel plant, and that they might hire workers in Qujiang at that time, and that the salary of one person would be worth the whole family planting for a year, so some poor tenants looked forward to building a steel plant as soon as possible, so that they could sign up as hired laborers to earn money to support their families.

After dealing with this matter, Feng Yunshan asked Ding Heishan and those miners to lead him and walk around the Quren mining area, only to find that the mine leaders had already discovered that this mountain range, with a radius of twenty or thirty miles, was a coal-producing mining area.

The Simaoping in the northeast of Quren Village, and then to the areas of Baimaokeng, Taro Ridge and Daling, are all coal-rich areas.

The Baimaokeng mining area can be open-pit coal mining, the highest output, two or three thousand people can work at the same time, after the surface layer of three or four meters thick soil layer is removed, the bottom is all rich coal seams, just dig out, all coal, transport away.

And the rest of the Simaoping, Taro Ridge, Daling on the big mountain ridge in the area, the mountainside ridge drills a few holes in the four directions, after entering a few meters, you can find that there are always one or two holes with coal, and then dig with all your strength, you can dig out a coal kiln.

Feng Yunshan's feeling is that this Quren coal mine is very large, and the reserves are also very large. Even in later generations, Feng Yunshan remembered that this was also a local state-owned enterprise coal mining area at the deputy department level, which was considered to have a lot of reserves, although it was mined out before the millennium, but for himself now, it was simply a huge wealth, and it was estimated that it could be mined for 50 to 100 years by means of artificial soil mining.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan no longer wandered around, and came directly to the center of the mining area, between Baimaokeng and Taro Ridge, a valley with a mountain stream.

Here, Feng Yunshan announced that Li Chunfa, who was born as a miner, would be the director of the Quren Coal Mine, and Chen Ergou, the foreman, would be the deputy mine director, and Luo Feizhi, the brigade executive committee member of the 18th Brigade, would also serve as the executive committee of the coal mine, leading the 18th Brigade to strongly support and re-establish a new Quren Coal Mine.

Later, it was announced that all miners, whether foremen, full-fledged miners, or captive miners, would be provided with more than two meals of rice a day.

Feng Yunshan also gave instructions to Zeng Yuheng, vice minister of public works, who accompanied him, to help organize the construction of the Quren Coal Mine and to draw up a plan for the planning and construction of coal mine facilities. All coal mine construction, the required funds, are allocated by the Ministry of Finance and Taxation, but must be audited.

In the middle of several mines, that is, between Baimaokeng and Taro Ridge, roads were widely built, construction was carried out, and the residential area of Quren Coal Mine miners was built, and brick houses were built for the miners to stay.

In particular, in Feng Yunshan's plan, cement pavements should be built from each mining area to connect them, and then a large cement pavement should be built to the Wujiang wharf in Lishi Town to facilitate the transportation of coal.

Moreover, in Feng Yunshan's planning, a living area modeled after the state-owned enterprises of later generations quickly appeared.

There are dormitories, and each miner is provided with a dormitory of 16 people for accommodation. There is a bathhouse, and every miner can take a hot bath comfortably after mining. There is a cafeteria, which is open twice a day in the morning and evening, and it is enough. However, these are all things that come with some money.

Despite this, the miners' heads were overjoyed to hear the Holy King's announcement. Pay for it, it's a big deal, just mine more coal. And this is exactly a kind of incentive for Feng Yunshan, invisibly forcing the miners to mine desperately and produce more coal.

In the living area, Feng Yunshan asked Zeng Yuheng to remember that a large medical office, a large peasant training center, and a police station should be established, and a polder would be set up to facilitate trading. In short, everything is treated as if the living area of the coal mine was originally a large town.

And the direct management unit of this coal mine is the Ministry of Public Works under the Holy King's Palace.

Feng Yunshan's decisions and plans soon spread. The entire mining area is immersed in a sea of cheers.

Originally, some of the captive miners who had not been seen much also appeared, and it turned out that they did live in groups behind remote mountain beams. And the nearly 10,000 original Tiandihui volunteers who originally placed their camp next to Quren Village, and now the official miners, have also moved one after another and appeared in the central area of the valley.

These miners began to be enthusiastic. The next day, Feng Yunshan asked the new mine manager Li Chunfa to gather thousands of foremen to demand that the coal mine reward and punishment system be reorganized and that some future factory governance concepts be established.

In fact, it is very simple, that is, to set up a weighing system. Each miner, how much coal is mined every day, is checked first, and then weighed with a scale lifted by a hanging rope, recorded the weight, poured into the coal bunker, and at the end of each month, the total weight of the pound is distributed according to the salary bonus.

Of course, there are very few prisoners, but even if they are few, they are related to the amount of production.

The foreman's bonus is measured against the safety, output and number of complaints of the miners.

As a result, on the morning of Feng Yunshan's departure, Li Chunfa excitedly came to report that the total output of the entire coal mine the day before was more than 2 million catties, and Feng Yunshan's calculations showed that it was 1,000 tons per day, which was far more than the total amount of coal piled up on the riverside wharf in Lishi Town.

Seeing that the coal mine was beginning to produce and that the construction of the Quren Coal Mine was about to be implemented soon, leaving Li Chunfa and a regiment of soldiers of the 18th Brigade in the Quren Coal Mine, Feng Yunshan led everyone back to the capital of Shaozhou and rushed to the Dabaoshan iron ore mine area located in the south of the capital city of Shaozhou.
