The next day, Wang Haoran personally went to Zhongcheng to check, fortunately, the coal mine is some distance from Zhongcheng, otherwise it will be difficult to excavate, which will seriously affect the environment of Zhongcheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wang Haoran asked people to roughly measure it, and after staying in Zhongcheng for one night, he went to the county seat to visit Zhao Yuankai, and he had to take down this piece of land first. This thing is easy to do, and there is no need to bribe, so Zhao Yuankai directly approved it.

However, there are still a few farmers in the mining area, and Wang Haoran still needs to negotiate with them himself. Wang Haoran gave them a building in a good location in Midtown, and those people happily agreed to relocate.

Mining coal is much easier than mining iron ore, and the mining tools are directly made with iron ore mining tools, but maybe it can be improved, so Wang Haoran asked Chang Shusheng to find someone to start mining, and he has been following up, in addition to finding better mining methods, but also to solve the safety problems of miners.

In his spare time, Wang Haoran also asked people to build a small factory near here, just to make honeycomb coal and coal stoves. This is a very urgent matter, although this coal mine is not too big, but for Wang Haoran, its output is no longer what he can use, even if he develops steam, he must make honeycomb coal as soon as possible and promote it. Fortunately, the weather is now slowly getting colder, which is extremely beneficial for the promotion of honeycomb coal.

It took Wang Haoran nearly 10 days to thoroughly study honeycomb coal, such as what kind of mud is best to use, what is the most appropriate ratio of coal to mud, and how to deal with coal mines to make them suitable for indoor heating......

The construction of the small factory was relatively simple, completed in less than a month, and the weather was already very cold, so Wang Haoran couldn't wait to promote the use of coal in the county. The effect is average, which is also expected, the people here are no more than the capital, they need more time to understand this new thing, and then get rid of the habit of using firewood. The trouble is the transportation problem, the middle city to the county seat still needs two hours of travel, and the current means of transport transport volume is small, so that the cost is high, so that the price of coal products is higher. In the future, Wang Haoran will also promote coal to the two major cities of Chang'an and Luozhou, and the solution of the transportation problem will be somewhat urgent. However, with Chen Jun's ability, steam power must not be able to be produced in such a short period of time, and in desperation, Wang Haoran can only slow down the mining and production.

One day, Yu Zhirong, the director of Puzhou, came to the door, and when he saw Wang Haoran, he went straight to the point and said: "Little master, our factory has been using firewood before, and many people have made a living by selling firewood in the factory, but now we have switched to coal, and these people have come to the factory to ask us to give them a way to live......

Every new thing will break the original balance, no matter how good this thing is, it will eventually touch the interests of some people, Wang Haoran has thought of this before, but he didn't expect it to have such a big impact. After thinking about it carefully, the root cause is still on him, after the construction of Zhongcheng has accelerated, the demand for firewood in the factory has been rising, which has never decreased in the past year, so that some people abandon the field to make money by cutting wood. The sudden switch to coal in the factory caught these people off guard, and they wanted to change back to their old jobs, and they could only wait until next year when others finished harvesting the grain and then ask for the leased fields back, and now, they can only eat their old books at home and wait for next year.

"In this way, if they want, they can go to the coal mine to dig coal temporarily to make some money, although it is harder, but the income is certainly no worse than logging, and they can leave at any time if they want to leave in the future."

"Okay, I'll arrange it now." Yu Zhirong said happily.

After another month, Wang Qihong hurriedly found Wang Haoran, gestured to the letter in his hand and said, "Dad asked me to quickly explain the matter here, and then go home to prepare for marriage." ”

"Has it already been decided? Whose girl? Although Wang Haoran was not surprised, he also felt a little worried about Wang Qihong, in this era of paying attention to the orders of his parents and the words of matchmakers, he was really worried that Wang Qihong had married a wife who he didn't look down on.

"Not yet, there are already several families who have the intention of marrying, and my father means to let me go back and discuss it."

"Then you have to hurry, you must definitely pick a beautiful person." Wang Haoran breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Furen is still very talkative.

"Do you want to see if there's anyone right to take care of Midtown's business for me?" Wang Furen has already used the shop reserved for him by Wang Haoran to hand over to Wang Qihong to do business, and the business of growing vegetables is still managed by the partners of the Xie family, so there is no need to worry. In fact, Wang Qihong is not unable to find manpower, but his younger brother is here, if he doesn't look for him first, I'm afraid that there will be a gap between the brothers.

"You better find this yourself, I can manage it for you for a while. But you have to look for it quickly, it's almost the New Year now, and I'm almost going back to Chang'an. Wang Haoran excused himself, Wang Furen asked Wang Qihong to do this business, mainly to let Wang Qihong know how to make good use of people and control capable people, the most important stage, that is, now is the time to be the shopkeeper.

"That's okay, I'll let my clan brother come and take over when I go back."

"And when are you going back?" Wang Haoran is not familiar with the people of the Wang family, and he has only seen a few of them when he went to the execution platform to enforce the clan rules. So what is Wang Qihong's vision, Wang Haoran still has no way to draw conclusions.

"Tomorrow." Wang Qihong said again: "One more thing, do you remember the person who whipped you when you were subject to the clan rules?" ”

"Still a little impressed, what's wrong?" Wang Haoran wondered.

"I'm going to find the brother who will take care of this business, and it is the eldest son of this man. I wonder if you will? ”

"Do you think that clan brother has the ability to take care of the business here?" Wang Haoran asked noncommittally.

"He does have some brains, but he just didn't meet his talents, and his family was in decline, otherwise his father wouldn't have ended up being a torturer." Wang Qihong said regretfully.

"That's it, I'm not that stingy. Moreover, people who do business should not be stingy, they can bring us benefits, and we can control them, and those small grievances are not worth mentioning. Wang Haoran mentioned Wang Qihong by the way.

"That's good, I'll let him come when I get back." Wang Qihong said happily.

After several months of research, Chen Jun and the others had to improve the production equipment during the period, so they made a steam power head, and hurriedly brought Wang Haoran for details.

"This power head is just a model, and some places are relatively loose, but these are all minor problems, and they can be completely corrected in the next production. Do you think this power conversion method works? Chen Jun said nervously, like a lottery player waiting for the lottery results.

Wang Haoran observed, this structure is quite complicated, but he has already understood its operating principle, shook his head and said: "This operation method, the power supply is not continuous enough, and this pole is too thin, it will become bent after a long time, and then the cover on this will not return to its original position at all, if the gap is too large, once it leaks, it will not turn." ”

Chen Jun and the others did not answer, thinking about ways to improve.

"Your imagination is not broad enough, don't let the kettle boil water and break the lid to limit your imagination. To take advantage of such a phenomenon, it is not necessary to make a large kettle with a large lid first. You take this out of your mind, and now you only know one thing, which is that water swells when it is boiled, and think about how to use the power of swelling. ”

Wang Haoran's words were flat, but they also made Chen Jun and the others listen like a reprimand, all of them were red and red, and they didn't dare to speak.

"It's also important to know how to break down a simple action into several movements, and then use them in each subtle action. In particular, don't let the steam in this large pot run out after breaking the lid, so it will take more time for it to gather enough strength to break through the lid again. ”

"You have a point, it seems that all our efforts in the past few months have been in vain." Zhao Wenshan said in frustration.

"Haha...... You don't need to be discouraged, you have accumulated a lot of experience and improved equipment over the past few months, some of which may not be needed now, but not necessarily in the future. ”
