Captain Zhang Depei counted the dead bodies and found that there were six people missing, only one hundred and eleven. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The guide said, "I must have gone up to the mountain to watch the logging." ”

There is hardwood on Mizhou Mountain, which is very suitable for shipbuilding and car-making, and Captain Zhang Depei also wants to use it to build cars.

They captured almost two hundred horses, which came in handy.

The guide knew where the logging was going on the mountain, so he asked him to take a small detachment of fifty men to capture the remaining six Red Horse Explorers.

As a result, four were blocked at once, and two ran through the ravine.

The laborers who had been forced to cut the trees immediately reported themselves to help catch the wood.

They knew the mountains better than anyone else, and finally surrounded them on the edge of a cliff.

But before the guide could speak, a large number of lumberjacks rushed up and threw the two unarmed men off the cliff alive, and the dead could not die again.

The lumbercutters let out a bad breath, and the guide did his job.

However, when they returned to the place where they had been logged, the four guys who were tied to the trees were hacked to death by the people who stayed behind.

The lumberjacks laughed and said, "I was bullied by them too badly, and today I have to take revenge!" ”

Well, the guide took the opportunity to buy all the timber they had cut down and asked them to help carry it downhill.

The lumberjacks said they didn't want money, but the guide wouldn't let them, saying that the merchants were not in the habit of getting money in vain, so they took the money and helped transport it to the city of Mizhou.

Captain Zhang Depei was happy when he saw these people, they were all good laborers.

He hired them and paid them a higher salary, saying that he was going to help dig the coal.

After listening to Captain Zhang Depei's description, the leading logger immediately agreed to his salary, and he also said that he knew the place where the coal was dug and that they were all familiar with these places.

Captain Zhang Depei is happy, and he likes to kill two birds with one stone.

This is not over, Captain Zhang Depei also asked them to observe the structure of the two-horse four-wheeled carriage and asked them if they could make it.

They looked at it for a long time, shook their heads, and said that they were just rough carpenters, barely two-wheeled vehicles, and four-wheeled vehicles could not be imitated.

Two-wheeled vehicles are also cars, and they can transport goods, so they started to build cars.

He's been happy in his heart, it's good, he's got a versatile talent.

The Mizhou Prefecture and various treasury have been sealed by them, and the Han people who know the state do not say that they will surrender, nor do they say that they will not surrender, and they hide at home and do not come out.

Captain Zhang Depei didn't pay attention to him, and directly appointed the guide as the governor.

The other personnel in the state government, if there is no lawsuit, let them go to work as usual, and Captain Zhang Depei also promised them to pay money according to the previous money.

The guide smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a fine worker, where is this rich luck?" Besides, you don't need me as a guide?! ”

Captain Zhang Depei said: "Official, I can see it clearly, it's best to be!" Island Master Zhang said, we are here to change our fate! It's okay to have those logging laborers, they also know the road, besides, didn't you say that there are no soldiers in Yizhou?! ”

The guide said, "Exactly." It's just that there will be grass on the road, so be careful! ”

"Haha, I'm a dignified soldier, how can I be afraid of the little grass coar------ if he bumps into me, he will be caught digging a coal mine!"

Another thing that made him more confident was that due to the geographical location, the captain of the feudal battle would definitely arrive earlier than him, and he would come to greet him at that time, so he didn't need a guide.

He ended up leaving fifty members of his guide to help him manage the entire Michigan area.

Captain Feng Zheng did arrive in the so-called Zaozhuang area earlier than Captain Zhang Depei.

There is no place name called Zaozhuang here, but it is really rich in dates, and there are dozens of large and small coal mines!

However, most of them are abandoned, and only a few are still being excavated.

The captain of the feudal team observed curiously, and also chatted with the mine owner here.

The arrival of their team of men and horses frightened the people who opened the mines, and they didn't dare to run if they wanted to------ captain Feng Zheng asked them very kindly, those abandoned coal mines can still dig coal, why do they abandon them?!

A mine owner replied: "------ general, now that this charcoal is becoming more and more difficult to sell, some mine owners have even paid their wages in vain, so they naturally want to give up." ”

The captain of the Feng Zheng heard and understood, what the mine owner said made sense, from the places he passed, everywhere was deserted, commerce and trade were not prosperous, and naturally nothing could be sold, and the ultimate reason was that the Tatar bandit group had exploited the people too much.

The mine owner went on to say that he had been in business for a long time, and there were a group of old customers who would take care of him, and if he was a newcomer to open a mine, he would definitely lose all his money!

The captain of the Feng Zheng smiled and said, "Your good day is coming, you can mine, how much I want, I want to pay you all the money!" ”

The mine owner was stunned for a moment, and then said with great joy: "You are a begging merchant?!" ”

The captain of the Feng Zheng said calmly: "Exactly! ”

"Ahh

Yes, that's a good reputation!

The captain of the Feng Zheng laughed and said, "You'd better get all the acquaintances back and reopen the mine, and I'll pay your market price!" ”

That mine owner wants to hug the captain of the Feng Zheng, even if it's half the price, he can grit his teeth and do it!

The captain of the Feng Zheng commanded, saying: "Don't be afraid that others will compete with you for goods, I will still accept as many as you want, and even the more the better!" ”

The head of the Wang Defa family said that the coal here is one of the best varieties for making coke, and the great development of Liuqiu Island depends on it.

While sending people to greet Captain Zhang Depei and them, Captain Feng Zheng began to organize the construction of a soil coking site.

Wang Defa's head of the family has confessed, let's waste some if you start to waste some, and then talk about coke first.

Without coke, there would be no good steel, and there would be no agricultural mechanization!

Ever since he heard that the head of Wang Defa's family had inadvertently said that agricultural mechanization would be realized in the future, he had been imagining what agricultural mechanization would look like.

He tried to conceive, but he only thought of using the vacuum boiler power machine to lift water.

Yes, that's really convenient, with a few wooden blocks, branches, and hay, you can let the machine carry the water by itself, saving too much manpower to water it.

But what else? He really couldn't think of it, so he could only obey the arrangement, believing that sooner or later one day Wang Defa's family master would let him see it.

The craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty in this time and space used the heap coking method, that is, a pile of coal, and then patted it tightly, ignited the fire, and let it burn, regardless of whether it was smoking or fiery.

After three days, pour water and open the grill, how much into the coke is the will of heaven, generally can receive one to two percent of the coke.

Otherwise, coke in this plane is not cheap.

Wang Defa had no conditions at the beginning, and they also used the soil method to coke, but they couldn't get to this soil.

They directly used the pit coking method------ there was no way, there was a shortage of bricks at that time.

As a result, he was immediately much stronger than the Great Song Dynasty craftsmen, and he could receive three to four percent of the coke.

At that time, Hu Zhenbei was just a craftsman, and he simply looked at them with admiration.

Wang Defa was embarrassed at that time, this was simply a violent thing, and he had to accept his fate if he was arrested and locked up for several months.

It wasn't until later that they started a long-dragon coking kiln, which not only made the coking rate reach 60%, but also used a combination of gas and tar, and then they felt at ease.

Half of the children have gone through this process and know the development of coking technology.

Therefore, the captain of the Feng Zheng knew in his heart, and he unhurriedly commanded everyone to level the land and dig a round pit of the same size for backup.

I believe it won't be long before there will be a miasma of smoke here------ hehe. (To be continued.) )
