"Greetings to the master!"

In front of a bald-leaved old willow next to the fork in Yangfang in the north of Yangshan Beiyuan, five people and six riders are standing quietly.

The willow tree can tie the horse, but the five people are holding the reins, Manchurian customs, birds do not hit magpie Wuya, willows do not tie horses.

Seeing Yuan Ji who was carrying a waist knife, Hang Er Lang shook over, five people were short at the same time, four of them were guards, and the youngest was a handsome young man of fourteen or fifteen years old, kneeling in front of a long-maned black horse.

"Whoosh!"

Yuan Ji threw the waist knife to the short and stubby guard Batu, and Dai Min, who had an eagle-eyed rhinoplasty, walked over with a black coat that kept out the cold and absorbed heat, shook it, and draped it on.

Yuan Ji tied the big one tightly, wiped his long sleeves, stepped on the back of the little eunuch Li Xi and turned over the black horse, and shouted, "Go!" ”

After that, he shook the reins and urged the horse to go first.

The guards Batu, Rising Sun, Dai Min, and Tasha pressed the saddle at the same time, turned over neatly and got on the horse, and walked between the horses.

Even the little eunuch Li Xi is a superb horseman, waiting for the master to get on the horse, and together they didn't have time to dust off the snow on their knees, pulled a Mongolian dwarf horse, and one turned over and sat firmly on the horse blanket, urging the horse to follow.

"Master, don't you want to go home?"

Dai Min, who was accompanied by Yuanji and fell half a horse, saw that the black horse in front left the gallop into the city, turned to the west, and couldn't help leaning forward to ask.

"It's hard to get out of the city, go to the Shangtougou coal yard and take a look at our money bags."

When the snow stopped, Yuan Ji looked up at the sun hanging high in the sky, flicked the reins of his horse, and said, "You are wearing some trouser belts, and on the way into the mountains, you may be able to bring some game." ”

"That's a good idea."

The Mongolian guard on the right side urging the horse to accompany him, Xu Rigan, took off the horn bow that he was carrying diagonally on his shoulder, raised it with one hand, and said loudly.

Batu glared at his brother who was causing chaos, the heavy snow stopped, the mountain road was steep and slippery, the master was interested, he wanted to enter the West Mountain, he couldn't stop it, how could there be a fan? In case of a stumble, who will eat the sin?

Both of them are Yuanji Niang's family, the son of the idle Taiji of the Borzigit clan of the Mongolian Korqin Banner of Waizha Sak, in the fourteenth year of Shunzhi, the most favored of Yuanji, the nine-year-old Batu and the eight-year-old Rising Sungan, were taken as gifts by the Mongolian king, and the flag was compiled into the Zhengbai flag as Yuanji's coat Aha.

In the past ten years, Yuanji's official title has been cleared all the way, but the title of master and servant has been determined early, and Batu and Rising Sun have been guarding Yuanji since they were children.

"Rising Sun, you are skilled in arching and horses, it is better to take the first step, shoot the deer, and let the master see your skills!"

Yuan Ji on the horse turned his head and saw the appearance of the rising sun, and couldn't help but encourage, and then looked around and laughed, "Our bow horses are not as good as the rising sun, it is better to run faster, if you let the one who shoots the deer arrive before us, the face is bigger than the butt." ”

"The slave asks for an order, and is willing to sacrifice a deer for the master as a precursor."

The stout Tasha listened to Yuanji's praise of the rising sun, his face was tied and his hair stood up, he stared at the bull's eye, his face was unconvinced, and he said in a rough voice, "The slave bows the horse, and he doesn't go down to the rising sun." ”

"Tasha" means "brave like a tiger" in Manchu, just as "Yuetuo" means "brave like a mastiff" in Manchu, and Nurhachi means "brave like a wild boar" in Manchu.

Even Dai Min means "as brave as an eagle" in Manchu.

The Manchurian children with this kind of name, it can be imagined what their parents' expectations are, and Tasha naturally demands himself with the courage of a "tiger", and naturally refuses to admit that his bow and horse are weaker than the rising sun.

"Humph!" The proud Rising Sun who was praised by Yuan Ji and glared at Tasha fiercely.

"Accurate!"

Yuan Ji couldn't help but laugh when he saw the two of them staring at each other, "You two wild animals, aren't you the material for the guards, and you will leave the master to fight the deer?" It's a dog chasing a rabbit! You two go and play by yourself, and you will go first. ”

As he spoke, he took the reins of the horse and yelled while urging the horse to gallop forward, "For half an hour, if any of you two dog slaves arrives empty-handed, they will eat the master's horsewhip... Drive! ”

“… Drive! ”

“… Drive... Drive! ”

“… Drive!"

Batu, Dai Min and the little eunuch Li Xi urged the horse in unison, left the rising sun and Tasha, and chased Yuanji away.

"Humph!"

The two horses in parallel, Sunrise and Tasha glared at each other, and at the same time, the two horses rushed to the tunnel, one left and one right, and soon disappeared into the hills and jungles on both sides......

……

Mentou ditch, big platform.

Mentougou is the remaining vein of the West Mountain, the West Mountain is the branch of the Taihang Mountain, the terrain is all mountainous and hilly, the vegetation is dense, there are many underground minerals, especially the reserves of anthracite are extremely rich.

Jingshi, the glazed tiles and marble used in the construction of the Zhili area, have come from here since the Yuan Dynasty.

The famous "Liulichang" in Beijing is just the name of the street, in fact, when the inner city of Jingshi was expanded during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Liulichang was relocated to Liuliqu Village in Mentougou.

Most of the coal supplied to Jingshi is also produced from Mentougou.

There are hundreds of thousands of horses, mules, camels and donkeys in Jingshi alone, and a large amount of forage is consumed every day.

Therefore, since the Ming Dynasty, the citizens of Jingshi Ying Tianfu, the root of the imperial city at the foot of the Son of Heaven, have increasingly abandoned firewood and grass and replaced it with coal to heat the fire.

With the increasing amount of coal, from the door of the ditch to the Fucheng gate of the dirt road, the crisp camel bell day and night, hundreds or even thousands of camels carrying coal bags, day and night back and forth to transport coal, one of the nine gates of the Beijing Division, Fucheng Gate, for this reason got a nickname, called "coal gate".

It's just that before, the residents of Jingshi used coal bricks, briquettes, and briquettes. The coal shop in the coal yard will crush the coal with a hammer, and then save it into briquettes like balls, and then retail the coal bricks like mussels, a coal brick weighs two catties and twelve taels, and a piece costs three yuan.

Qing weights and measures for the Qin system, a pound for sixteen taels, the old two and the modern two is not a tael, not 50 grams, is the old scale on the Big Dipper, the South Dipper six stars, plus Fu Lu Shou three stars, a total of sixteen scale stars of the star two.

The standard weight of each dynasty and each generation of Xingliang is different, and one or two Kuping silver in the Qing Dynasty is about 37 grams, and a catty is more than 590 grams.

This kind of coal brick of two catties and twelve taels is very inconvenient to use.

The stoves of each house have different specifications, and the purpose of cooking hot kang heating is different, and residents also have to prepare hammers, and according to different needs, they must knock again to knock the big coal bricks into broken bricks and burn them.

Otherwise, once a coal brick is burned, it can't be stopped, and it will burn out in a while.

If everyone is like this, it will be nothing, but when a new coal number [Daqing Petrochemical] appears in Mentougou, everything will be different.

This coal number is very trendy, which makes the insiders who make a living from coal mining, processing, trafficking, and sales, as well as the residents of Beijing who burn coal, feel very novel.

This coal number is not called a mine, not a number, not a shop, but a "company".

What does it mean to be a company? The division of the public house? Or what? The masters of the Beijing division don't understand, and they don't know how to feel it!

Everyone just knows that this "Daqing Petrochemical" company has three main products, honeycomb coal, honeycomb furnace, and coal ticket!

What kind of coal is honeycomb coal? It is a cylindrical cake coal full of eyes, extremely beautiful, extremely fast, extremely resistant to burning, saving money, and awesome coal!

A piece of honeycomb coal, with fifteen eyes, net weight of two catties, burning time for up to two hours, with honeycomb coal special "honeycomb stove" and "custom stove", no need to extinguish the fire at night.

As soon as the stove was covered, it was stuffy all night, and the next day when it was up, the stove was covered together, and the coal was still burning.

This is so important in the north, because with a tin chimney that comes with a custom stove, a coal stove can heat the house to the fullest.

The stove can only cook rice, but the honeycomb coal that does not go out can be used as a boiler, build a stove with water, and the thermal effect will not be lost in vain while cooking on the fire, and warm water will be obtained.

Why does honeycomb coal catch fire so quickly, so resistant to burning, and the smoldering furnace is not extinguished, and there are many studies by peers with hot eyes.

But even if it imitates the honeycomb coal production method of the "Daqing Petrochemical" coal yard, and uses an iron casting mold to press the raw coal, it is not easy to press, the raw coal is too loose, and a bunch of eyes will be broken when it is pressed.

Later, he studied the raw materials imported from the coal yard under the "Daqing Petrochemical", and found that there were red and yellow cement, lime, sawdust, and charcoal.

Peers tried to use the same raw material ratio, and found that the pressure was good, but it was still not as fast as the genuine honeycomb coal of "Daqing Petrochemical", the combustion was uneven, and it was not so resistant to burning, and it was easy to extinguish when it was bored.

Why are the results different for the same ingredients?

Because in the honeycomb coal of "Daqing Petrochemical", the raw material of the added ratio is not sawdust, but carbonized sawdust, and the added ratio is not charcoal, but charcoal powder.

Even if these two mixture bases are decrypted by peers, there are flammable accelerants composed of nitrate, potassium permanganate, etc., and we look forward to our peers continuing to work hard to solve the problem!

"Daqing Petrochemical" is very atmospheric, and its coal yard located in the outer city of Beijing is open-pit coal making and pressing coal, which is generous to peers.

Seeing that peers are powerless, it is recognized as the most awesome in the industry!

The honeycomb coal produced by "Daqing Petrochemical" is combined with the honeycomb coal stove, even if it burns day and night, the coal used is only eight to ten yuan a day, and only three yuan a day for cooking and heating is enough.

And the price of "sending coal to the house" of a piece of honeycomb coal is the same as the old coal bricks that can't be burned for half a day, and can only burn for an hour when burned.

If you order a coal ticket of 1,000 yuan at a time, you will receive a household standard honeycomb stove with a combined iron chimney and a set of stove kits, and if you buy it alone, the market price will be two and three hangs, or two taels of silver.

It's just that "Daqing Petrochemical" only prints coal tickets, but does not sell coal tickets, and the ticket number of the coal tickets is called [Daqing Construction Bank]!

Chu Laosan led his little follower Wang Laishun to the front of the Mentougou branch of the "Daqing Construction Bank" in Mentougou, and saw a crowd of people rubbing shoulders and several long queues.

It is said that it is a silver number, which was changed from a two-story "return" shaped passenger and cargo miscellaneous store in the field earlier.

The high mud-plastered brick wall is wedged with hollow wooden windows as the wall, the store is paved with wooden floors, the earlier dining table has been removed, and a table with ochre red lacquer is placed on the inner wall of the leaner as a counter, and a zigzag wooden staircase leads to the second floor on the left hand side of the door.

The building is a hollow shape, surrounded by a circle on all sides, the middle patio is like an open courtyard to open up the ground, there is a well, there are a lot of ropes hung earlier, for people to wash and wash vegetables and dry clothes, sometimes there are more diners, and the dining table will be placed in the patio.

The brick walls and wooden windows outside the stack are mottled.

The red paint on the load-bearing wooden pillars on both sides of the porch has also peeled.

However, the plain lantern from earlier has been replaced by a new red lantern, hanging with bright yellow tassels, which is conspicuous and abnormal.

It's a bank.
