"Ordinary things naturally can't attract you, the old man knows that you have always liked to study all kinds of strange things, it just so happens that the old man has a strange stone, which can be used as firewood, I wonder if you are interested?"

"Black?" Wang Haoran guessed that the stone Mei Henan was talking about should be coal, which was exactly what he was looking for, and it was not enough to make steam power with only dry firewood.

"You've seen it?" Mei Henan was surprised, a little disappointed in his heart, it seems that this stone is not unusual for this kid!

"That's natural, I'm going to send someone to find out where this thing is." Wang Haoran said lightly, "If you know where this thing is, maybe we can talk about the transaction." ”

"The old man does know where this thing is, and there are a lot of it, what do you think the old man can change from this news?" Seeing that Wang Haoran was still calm, Mei Henan began to doubt the value of this bargaining chip.

"If you want to talk about business, I can pay you a few dozen taels of silver, and if you want to talk about the matter in front of you, I can only say a few good words for you."

Mei Henan smiled bitterly, forget it, anyway, the stone is useless to himself, and he won't need it after he enters the cell, so he just gave this kid a cheap one, he didn't worry that Li Er would cut off his head, because Li Er was not so murderous after killing his own two brothers. Mei Henan was worried that Wang Haoran would go to Li Er to fan the flames, and he didn't have to die, but Wang Haoran said he was dead.

Wang Haoran followed the flying cavalry camp to escort the people of Meijiazhuang down the mountain, and Liu Xiangyu ran over and whispered: "Little master, Mei Changjin and Mei Changxiong have escaped. ”

"What's going on?"

"They were really divided into two ways as the little young master expected, Mei Changjin led people to Wangjialou and pounced, then he knew that he had won the plan, and hurriedly rushed to the government to support Mei Changxiong and them. And the government had already set up a trap on the side of the government, and Mei Changxiong and the others suffered a big loss, but Mei Changjin and others arrived in time and rescued Mei Changxiong. ”

Wang Haoran thought that they would definitely return here, so he told Yang Huwei about these situations, and suggested that the flying cavalry battalion lay an ambush to guard the rabbits.

Mei Changjin and the others didn't know about the situation of the temple yet, and as soon as they came back, they fell into the encirclement of the flying cavalry battalion, and soon all surrendered.

The soldiers of the flying cavalry battalion returned to Chang'an to report the situation to Li Shimin, and by the way, asked for instructions on how to deal with Meijiazhuang. Li Shimin cherishes the people, like the three brothers of Meijiazhuang, all of them are martial artists, what a good labor force, it is a pity to kill the blame, so simply let them mine for the rest of their lives.

Wang Haoran and the others returned to Wangjialou, fortunately, Mei Changjin and they did not take out their anger with the things in Wangjialou, and it was still the same as when they left. Within a few days, Li Shimin's reward came down, and Wang Qihong, Wang Jingxiu, Yu Yuyao, and Yu Zhaoyun were the most generous rewards, and the gravitational acceleration they had studied withstood the test of the scholars, causing quite a stir. Li Shimin called them the "Four Sons of the Capital" when he rewarded them, so the name spread.

The special team has merit in clearing Meijiazhuang, and there are also rewards, that is, some money, silver and wine. But this also made the people of the special team happy, it is not a question of how much this reward can be, it is mainly an honor, how many people can get the reward of the emperor today? Among them is the special forces!

Zhao Wenshan, Yu Zizhao, and Xu Mian developed alloys with high temperature resistance and good hardness, which solved the problem of making guns in the Arms Division, which Li Shimin called "three talents". When they became famous, the common people called them and the "Four Sons of the Capital" together as the "Three Talents and Four Sons".

Ma Jingluo and Xu Xuanan have not yet achieved much, and Li Shimin still encourages him in his will. Ma Jing is a little better, although he has not made any reputation, but he has made a lot of money with hollow glass. Xu Xuan'an took over the miscellaneous rice, and before he took over, the miscellaneous rice had already been completed, and now he can only envy, jealousy and hatred on the sidelines. However, he was not discouraged, miscellaneous rice was originally a very time-consuming research, and besides, he could only grow one season of rice a year, either he would not succeed, or he would become famous in one fell swoop and leave a name in history.

Chen Jun and Chen Jie were not rewarded, Li Shimin knew that these two people were Wang Haoran's right-hand men, and if he was rewarded, he would be suspected of attracting talents. Wang Haoran didn't have a reward, but he was helping him solve his problems, if he wanted to thank him, he should thank Li Shimin.

The fall of Meijiazhuang was able to invalidate the Jianghu Order, and those who wanted to trouble Wang Haoran, even if they prepared for a long time and invested a lot, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

There were many happy events in Wang's house, and Wang Haoran held a banquet in the county restaurant to celebrate. During the banquet, Zhao Yuankai came uninvited, and he also took all the expenses. Someone rushed to pay the bill, Wang Haoran was naturally happy, but he was also a little surprised, why is Zhao Yuankai's iron rooster so generous today, could it be that there is something to ask for himself?

In fact, Wang Haoran really misunderstood Zhao Yuankai this time, Zhao Yuankai's behavior this time is simple, although he is stingy, but as a father, he can let Zhao Wenshan take it to fight his father. For many years, he has always hoped that his son can have a good reputation, but after so many years of hard work, his reputation is not as loud as that of letting him mix with Wang Haoran for two years.

A few days later, Chang Shusheng came over, and Wang Haoran had asked him to go to Zhongcheng to find out if the coal mine that Mei Henan had said was true.

"Little master, can you see if it's this thing?" Chang Shusheng took out a cloth bag and handed it over and asked.

Wang Haoran took out the contents of the bag, it was a black stone, it was indeed a coal block!

"Little master?" Chang Shusheng saw Wang Haoran in a daze there, and called softly.

"Oh...... yes, that's it, is there more of this stuff there? ”

"We follow what the young master said, dig a pit every distance to check, and basically dig this thing out within two zhang, the range is very large, if you add those places that may be hidden in the depths, it may be bigger than the capital!"

"Haha...... That's good, that's good! Wang Haoran was overjoyed, the coal mine is only a few feet deep underground, it is an open-pit coal mine, and it is easy to mine. As for the storage capacity, although the area is not large, how much can Datang use now? There's still plenty of time to find a new mine site in the future.

"Little Master, what is the use of this stone?" Chen Jun asked.

"It can be used as firewood."

“…… And then what? Chen Jie was puzzled, if it was just that, it would be similar to the role of trees, and there was nothing to be so excited about, right?

"It's more resistant to burning than wood, and it burns nearly twice as hot as wood, so it's the best fuel for steam." Wang Haoran guessed Chen Jie's doubts.

"So are we going to dig this thing out before we study steam power?" Chen Jun asked.

"No, you, Chen Jie, and Wen Shan started to study steam power, and I still want to do the coal digging business." Wang Haoran said categorically, these two generals have followed him for many years, although they can be said to have a lot of money, but what they did in the past, they were all in the limelight, and they are still unknown. Now that Wang Qihong and the newcomers can make some reputations, Wang Haoran can't leave behind Chen Jun and Chen Jie, the two generals, and plans to hand over the steam power to them to study.

"Coal? Is this the thing? Zhao Wenshan asked.

"Yes."

"It's okay, anyway, we have already designed the rail car, and if we develop steam power, we can just install it on the rail car." Chen Jie said, he didn't care why Wang Haoran knew the name of this thing so early, this little master had many secrets.

"We've thought about the design of steam power before, but I'm afraid that many of the components needed can't be made with today's production equipment!" Chen Jun raised his own problem.

"These are not difficult things, do it, if today's equipment can't be made, then work with Zhaoyun to study how to improve the equipment or make new equipment, and solve a problem when you encounter a problem, there is plenty of time, and it can be successful after all." Wang Haoran cheered Chen Jun up again, and at the same time, he also began to think about digging coal mines.
