Of course, Zhang Guoan also needs coal there. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In that side of the world, the entire Quang Ninh coal belt made him salivate.

It stretches for more than 100 kilometers in a north-south direction and is one of the largest coalfields in Southeast Asia.

In the west of the whole coal belt, there are about 10 layers of coal seams with a thickness of 2~8 meters, and the eastern part has better coal content, with a total thickness of about 120 meters and a thickness of 30~40 meters for individual coal seams, which is one of the best thermal coal in the world.

The total amount of resources is more than 6.5 billion tons! I'm afraid it's enough to use the island for a thousand years......

In fact, what is more attractive to Zhang Guoan is that they can basically be mined in the open pit, and they are very close to the coastline.

According to Mr. Zhang, the world's closest open-pit coal mine is just two kilometers from the sea.

Of course, this is still more than 800 years later, and the siltation process of more than 800 years on the seashore will certainly not be very slight.

However, the coal belt was too long and wide to be easily found as long as it was roughly in the right direction.

Equally important, in this plane, it is probably a desolate area within a radius of thousands of miles.

It is less than 1,500 kilometers from Liuqiu Island to Halong Bay, and it will take less than a month to arrive, and, if you want, you can also make a temporary stop at Yazhou City or Haikou on Hainan Island, which is very convenient.

Zhang Guoan made a simple decision.

At this time, Captain Bao Wei and Guo Beyu handed in their reports on the number of conscripts.

Both of them were anxious, waiting to give Zhang Guoan's family a comment for them.

Who knew that Zhang Guoan's family said another thing first.

"You two boys, why are you so fierce to Shen Qianqian? Why does she always come to me to complain? ”

Captain Bowie said hatefully, "She always wants to gamble with me...... Win our money"

Deputy Captain Guo Beyu said: "Exactly, that little lady will hurt me and break the rules of Master Zhang's family!" ”

Zhang Guoan smiled and thought, they are really like what Jing Jing said, they have not yet reached the age to be better for their sisters.

"Then you two have a better attitude when talking to people...... A man who always shouts at girls. It must be someone who has no chance! ”

The two stopped talking and nodded, okay, next time I'll talk a little calmer.

Zhang Guoan is happy that although these half-grown children are in a rebellious period, they still listen to their own words. It's all the result of a little bit of careful cultivation.

He carefully read their feasibility report, and they proposed to conscript up to 4,000 men...... Looking at this number, he was overjoyed, this was the ideal number in his heart.

He took a closer look at their arguments on all sides, and they were very good, the figures were accurate, and the inferences were rigorous...... That's exactly what he asked them to do!

He said to the two half-grown boys, who were still a little nervous: "You have succeeded, this is a very good feasibility report, I will study it carefully." Listen to my reply tomorrow. ”

Zhang Guoan took this feasibility report to show Quiet...... This report is better than any of the high school students he has ever taught in that world!

Quiet was happy, but she pointed out that the boys had forgotten the role of women in childbirth...... All men are in the workforce.

Zhang Guoan said: "I came to you for this, to find a way to let them learn to treat women correctly." ”

Quietly shook his head and said: "In this time and space, men can naturally accept widows, and they can also make women show their heads to do business, and even let young men and women walk hand in hand on the street. The best place is that a married woman can still have her own property. It is possible to inherit the inheritance of the elders like men...... Except for the Spring and Autumn Period, this dynasty may be the best, so it is not good to be ahead of time without requiring them to learn to understand the role of women immediately. ”

Zhang Guoan said: "Then what do you think? ”

"The high salary you gave is enough for the time being......"

This is the truth, and I will express it from the money. This will naturally make the women look up to people.

The rumor that the women who spin and weave on the island are well paid is true.

There are always women who come here to work in groups, which has played a role in spreading the effect of ten to hundred, and if Huang Daopo escapes from home later, she may come here.

Quiet has its own arrangements for these growing female workers. All are located in the spinning and spinning industry.

They got twice as much as they did in Da Song, and they were in charge of food and housing, but Jing Jing and Zhang Guoan knew in their hearts that they still earned it.

Now, the best manpower spinning machine on the Great Song Dynasty is only one spindle, and the ordinary human Jenny spinning or cotton spinning machine here is four spindles...... In other words, in fact, one of them is equal to four people.

Of course, water-powered spinning machines are more efficient.

When it comes to the efficiency of the loom, it is also two or three times better than that of the Great Song...... And the cotton linen cloth they are currently processing and producing is in short supply in the Great Song market, and they have never worried about sales.

In addition to being used by his own people, Zhang Guoan had to remove the process of washing and grinding cloth, and also increased the proportion of hemp yarn.

This creates a virtuous circle, with more and more people coming here on their own initiative, both for businessmen and for women workers.

A serious county town is slowly forming, but there are no city walls.

Female workers can still have their own houses, and they can still rest every ten days, so that the Badaohe area is slowly becoming lively.

The ratio of men and women is slowly beginning to equalize, which means that a city is growing.

Of course, Zhang Guoan doesn't have to worry about the affairs of men and women at all, let the family find a way to solve their own affairs, as long as they provide real opportunities for others.

Zhang Guoan then agreed to the goal of asking the guards to recruit 4,000 soldiers...... Although this figure already accounts for one-tenth of the total population of the Badaohe area, it belongs to the military development of the army, but it has a relatively high science and technology in this time and space, and the products are all high value-added categories, so there is no need to worry about the materials.

There is also a criterion for this conscription, which is to live here for at least one year.

The Ryukyu prince carefully observed the entire recruitment process and found that the friends he had made in his heart had designed many running and jumping projects, and there was also a method called extended practice...... Observing the degree of cooperation between the applicant and others, I really eliminated many people who looked strong but didn't care much about others.

Captain Bao Wei said to him: "This is the method designed by Master Zhang's family, that is, the prince, and others don't want to see ......."

The prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom shook his head lightly and said: "Captain Bao, this time the owner of Zhang Island did not arrange for you to help me pacify the robbers, which is a pity, but after I go back, as long as it is pacified, I will definitely come back soon, and when the time comes, I will also ask Captain Bao to help me train a strong army, and the Ryukyu Kingdom will definitely be rewarded!" ”

Captain Bao Wei thought for a moment and said, "Your arquebus team is also very brave, so you can quickly dominate the other two islands.

What the head of the Zhang family said is good, in this sea, you are also the third strongest team...... Cracking down on robbers should not be a problem. ”

The crown prince of the Ryukyu Kingdom sighed and said, "Of course we are not afraid of fighting on land, but fighting at sea is really too poor......"

Captain Bowie, who knew their shipbuilding capabilities well, smiled and didn't say anything more. (To be continued.) )
