The four of them, avoiding the busy young man, stepped aside.

Tang Xidong organized it in his mind, and then squatted on the ground again.

"I used to travel with my father and study abroad, and I used to study coal mines in other places. I also have an understanding of coal mines. "First of all, I pointed out my understanding of coal mines.

Then looking at the three of them, Tang Xidong said while paddling on the ground: "Just now, I went in to check this coal cave, and I found that the direction of the coal and stone in the mountain is along the northwest direction, all the way down, and the reserves of coal and stone are very deep, there must be a lot of coal and stone in this mountain." ”

"I think that the cottage can try to dig a coal hole along the direction I found, as long as you dig inside, you will definitely be able to dig out the coal and rock, and you can avoid the rocks of the collapse, so you don't have to worry about the danger. I'm 80% sure of that. ”

After Tang Xidong finished speaking, he looked at the three people next to him.

"Why do you want to mine black kilns, it is time-consuming, and it is not very useful for cottages!" Liu Lianqing was silent and did not speak, and Deng Dahu asked.

"Hey, the main thing is that I burned the first kiln bricks yesterday, and I found that the fire was made of wood, the fire was insufficient, and the temperature was not high, so the masonry could not be burned." Tang Xidong said with a sigh.

"It's really not good, it's still what I said, just don't burn the bricks, just use a stone pankang to get it, so there will be a lot of things left." Liu Dagou said impatiently on the side.

Tang Xidong looked at it, and his heart tightened, but he couldn't let these people retreat in their hearts.

glanced at the silent Liu Lianqing, and showed a killer feature: "Actually, this coal and stone has a lot of benefits for the cottage, not to mention the far, in the future, everyone will put on the kang on the plate, and the daily consumption of firewood is a lot, and then it will be necessary to arrange people to cut down trees, which will also consume manpower and material resources, and the wood is not resistant to burning, and the fireworks are large, so it is not as good as coal and stone." ”

"It's the same with coal, it takes manpower and material resources to mine it, it's the same smoke, and it's dangerous, what if the mountain rock collapses and buries people?" Liu Dagou said with a frown.

As soon as Tang Xidong saw that someone answered, he opened his mouth and continued: "As long as the coal and stone are mined, I have a way to solve the problem of soot." ”

When the time comes, make briquettes, won't it solve the problem, it's too simple.

Tang Xidong saw that it was not enough to impress the three of them, so he continued: "The mining of this coal kiln, first, I can guarantee the production of coal, and second, as long as I open the hole according to the method I said, I can ensure that there will be no disaster of the collapse of the rocks." ”

"Moreover, there are many benefits to the excavation of this coal and stone. One is to supply burning bricks, the second is that everyone will be able to use heating in the future, the most important thing is that during this time I see the three village owners in the front of the cottage headache, the three village owners think about it, now the weather is cold, as long as the cottage mines coal and stone, when the time comes to Pingyang City and several nearby counties, it is not a lot of silver in hand, with silver, you can naturally buy food, is not just to solve the problem of the cottage? ”

Tang Xidong threw out a killer plan to solve the biggest problem of the cottage, and the eyes of Liu Lianqing and the three of them lit up suddenly.

It's like clearing the clouds, and the road ahead is clear all of a sudden.

With coal and stones, everyone will not have to worry about running out of food to eat, and there will be no need to go down the mountain to rob, which will kill people.

It's really a lot of benefits!

"According to what you say, this coal kiln must be opened, it must be opened, and it must be opened immediately." Deng Dahu's eyes widened and he said loudly in surprise.

"Gotta open, gotta open. And it will be opened right away. Liu Dagou also happily agreed.

Liu Lianqing took a deep look at Tang Xidong again, then the coldness on her face dissolved slightly, and said: "Since this is the case, then you will have to count on Tang Gongzi a lot in the future, I hope it is really as Tang Gongzi said." ”

Tang Xidong naturally nodded in agreement.

So the cinders were no longer transported, and the three of them gathered Qingzhuang again, and then took all kinds of guys and hurriedly led Tang Xidong.

Go to the mountainside northwest of the back mountain and dig a hole.

Since it is an excavation of coal kilns, it is natural to carry out it in a more reasonable way in later generations.

Tang Xidong estimated the direction and distance, found a good position again, and instructed the young men to start digging holes.

The hole full of rocks is not easy to dig, one must be accurate, and the other must be stable.

Tang Xidong asked Liu Dagou to instruct the blacksmiths who repair the blades in the village on weekdays to use a small amount of iron from the cottage to create iron chisels, sledgehammers, pickaxes, shovels and other iron tools for digging holes.

These things are not technically difficult and are easy to build, but iron is not as good as steel.

With these things, the speed is a lot faster.

By evening, the excavation had been excavated to a depth of five or six meters.

The method of Tang Xidong's guidance is different from the coal kiln mining at this time, one is that the hole is large, but the slope is small, and the third is that each deep step must be supported, and all adult thick trunks are used to support both sides and the top of the head.

The trunks have been cut down a lot before, and the ready-made ones can be used.

Tang Xidong closely guarded the mouth of the coal kiln, commanding Qingzhuang to dig the roadway, the most important thing is not to deviate the direction, and occasionally to personally enter the cave to observe the direction of the rock formation and geological conditions.

His estimation of the direction was very accurate, and by the afternoon of the second day, the roadway had been dug more than 30 meters deep, and coal primers had been dug out.

With a coal primer, it is a sign that the coal seam is not far away.

Tang Xidong felt excited, and his exhaustion disappeared.

On the third day, more than 200 young and strong workers excavated about 60 meters of coal kiln, and a few coal stones were excavated.

Large pieces of coal and slag were pushed out with a newly made bucket truck, and Tang Xidong and Liu Dagou Deng Dahu touched the coals, and everyone had excited smiles on their faces.

Liu Dagou and Deng Dahu were happy, with coal, the cottage would be able to have money, while Tang Xidong was happy, everything needed for his plan was all.

In the evening of this day, Tang Xidong was invited back to the brick kiln by the teenagers.

The first brick kiln is about to come out, and naturally Tang Xidong needs to come back to sit down.

The furnace was extinguished, the seal was opened, the weather was cold, and in an hour, the temperature in the kiln had dropped.

Tang Xidong arranged for Qingzhuang to carefully lift the bricks in a basket, looked at it, and was a little disappointed.

Most of the bricks are either burned or have a big belly.

Only a small number of bricks appear to work.

After Tang Xidong checked, he found that first, the proportion of ingredients was wrong, second, the ingredients were not fine enough, and third, the duration of high temperature was not good.

The first kiln brick is considered to be wasted. But Tang Xidong also found a lot of problems, failure is not terrible, and he can get close to success next time, comforting the young people and young people.

Tang Xidong redirected the details of each link.

For example, after transporting loess and cinder, it is necessary to screen and sort on site, try to pick out the fine material, and the second is to re-adjust the ratio of loess and cinder and water, and add half of the total amount of water to cinder and loess 3:7, and stir evenly.

For this reason, Tang Xidong found a carpenter and instructed him to make a simple version of the mixer overnight, a manpower mixer, with a feed port on it, and a large runner handle behind it, which was shaken by manpower and mixed with wooden blades.

The third is to let Qingzhuang transport the coal excavated from the coal kiln to make fuel tomorrow.

That's pretty much it.

After Tang Xidong finished explaining, he went to Liu Lianqing's room to prepare dinner.

Nowadays, the cottage can be regarded as a regular one.

Tang Xidong hopes that through interlocking steps, he will imperceptibly carry out the large-scale construction movement he planned, and then achieve what he imagined.

A Daming cottage with modern characteristics.

Hope everything goes well and well!
