I went to a few more mines, invited a lot of bombing masters, and agreed to go to Nan'an in half a month. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The matter of building roads and rivers, Chen Jian did not have these mine owners to say.

Now that he has money in his hands, he does not want these mine owners to share the pie, and in the future, he will use canals and wooden rail roads as a means to check and balance these mine owners, and he will never allow them to intervene in it.

Whoever controls the roads and canals is the master.

By manipulating transportation costs, they can help any mine squeeze through the rest of the competitors, and break through the vertical and horizontal lines, and these mine owners will make the right choice under the huge temptation, as an important fulcrum for the disintegration and reorganization of the Nan'an Coal and Iron Association.

As for inviting those bombing masters to learn and communicate, Chen Jian was not at ease.

Today, there is an Enlightenment School in Nan'an that has been completely inked. Chen Jian contributed part of the money, party property and charity funds contributed a part, there were a total of twenty-eight Mr. Kaimeng in the school, seventeen members of the Mexican Party who went through the regular procedure or were transferred after Chen Jian bribed Xuezheng, and three were on the verge of Moxico.

In addition to the literacy and arithmetic that normal Kaimeng has to learn, two courses of physical education and fun nature have been added, and some people have specially taught them.

From the Enlightenment School, Chen Jian and his comrades in the party reached a consensus: certain education should start from children.

In the enlightenment stage, no political ideas are instilled, and even if they are indoctrinated, they cannot understand it.

However, the class presidents and various representatives and committee members in the school must be elected by the children, so that they can accept the concept of election from an early age and understand this concept subtly from an early age.

The best propaganda is not to open your mouth and talk endlessly to listen to the thunder in a silent place, but to sneak into the night with the wind and moisten things silently, that is, let children accept what the generation of rights should be like since childhood, nothing more.

The best effect is to wait for this group of children to grow up and throw them into some desolate colony, where they can quickly elect a committee or authority and agree to form a small community. Or go to work as an employee to prepare for interests and know how to hold together.

On top of the Enlightenment Academy, as early as when Jian Chen took root in Nan'an, he had already begun to prepare for the middle school. Scholarships can be provided in the hope that more gifted children who are enlightened but cannot go to school due to financial problems will have the opportunity to study.

The textbooks compiled by Li Yun and others, as well as the various textbooks completed later, are the textbooks of this school.

In addition to these popular science textbooks, the name of this school is Lanxiang Technical School.

The duration of study is four years, and the first two years are to complete the foundation of popular science textbooks and mathematics and literature, and after two years, they will take separate exams.

In the next two years, he used the tactical and scientific advantages of the sea of questions to take the route of the national examination and grab the vacant position of the officer.

The other part spent two years to become specialized skilled workers, including simple chemical industry, acid and alkali manufacturing, simple lathe use, crude mechanical principles, explosives, new textiles and other planned and ongoing industries.

For the part of the bombing, Chen Jian has already looked for a candidate. There is a marginal member of the party in the mining area, who has studied with the bombing master for seven years, and he has learned six or seven points of ability, and there are some things that Chen Jian can't understand, but this person can understand.

sorted out those skills passed down by word of mouth, and relied on Chen Jian's half-baked mechanical level to sort out a general enlightenment foundation full of loopholes.

In order to quickly cultivate and support the new generation of explosives talents in mining areas across the country, as a starting point to establish an organization within the miners.

First of all, the few real employees who are the easiest to organize at this time will be trained and the backbone will be cultivated. So as not to wait until the handicraft factory is greatly developed, it is difficult to carry out the work quickly due to lack of experience.

As for whether those masters can open their mouths, Chen Jian thinks that the best way is to use the money to smash it, and he does not hesitate to take out 100% of the profits of his glass factory or 1% of the explosives factory as dry shares.

There may be those who stick to tradition, but there are certainly those who are loose, and money can solve many problems.

Once money becomes a means rather than an end, there will be no pain in taking money out.

In this regard, those bombing masters didn't have time to feel it, but the two deputies who followed Wang Zhe felt it first.

On the way back, Jian Chen paid three hundred silver coins for surveying and mapping, which was already a huge amount of money at this time, especially for these businesses or practitioners who did not have much money.

Along the way, I already knew about Jian Chen's industry in Nan'an, Mincheng. Even if they opened their mouths, the two of them had no doubts, and their hearts were full of joy.

Wang Zhe was bored for a while and asked, "Mr. Chen, how are you going to repair?" ”

Seeing that Wang Zhe was relieved, Chen Jian hurriedly said: "Between the nearby mining areas, I want to build that kind of wooden rail road and connect it to one place." Centered on the coal mine I went to yesterday, build a canal to the Min River. There was a small river near the mine, which could not be used by boats, but could be stored as a source of water for the canal. ”

"There are not many wooden rail roads, and the canal is the big one. Roughly calculated, it will be repaired for at least twenty miles. Twelve steps wide, three steps deep, can pass the inland river coal transport flat-bottomed boats, do not need to be too wide for the time being. ”

"It would be best if you could go down the river from the topography of the mining area to the Min River. Brother Wang doesn't have to ask about the canal, locks, and construction, and someone is responsible for it. I just need a perfect route, and the level of height along the way. ”

"There are a lot of explosives, and there should be enough manpower. These 300 silver coins are only the cost of surveying and mapping, and the rest of the ropes, lime, man's hands, wooden poles, etc., are all paid by me. There is only one thing, within two months, come up with a rough feasible path. ”

"Of course, it is impossible to go to Qi Country in these two months, and I still have a lot of things to prepare. In addition, there are some new tools such as goniometers, which I hope you will familiarize yourself with. There are also measurements, estimates, predictions, and the use of telescopes after the balloon has flown into the sky, all of which have to be tried through these two months. ”

When Wang Zhe heard this, he nodded in agreement. I want to see the new goniometer and feel the feeling of flying to the sky and looking at the earth.

It must have been a completely different feeling from previous measurements.

"I will prepare the tools as soon as possible. I will also pay for the expenses of money and carriages in advance. In short, the sooner the better. ”

…………

At the same time, somewhere in a wasteland in Nan'an, Zhao Si and the others sat on a rock, staring at the people who were busy in the distance, and a few people came over with bad intentions, all of them looked hooligans, and they were not too provocative.

Zhao Si couldn't understand what these people were doing.

It's a large wasteland, sparsely populated, but there are quite a few small houses nearby.

There was a small river in the wasteland, and near the creek there were puddles dug everywhere, and in many places there were potholes.

On top of these puddles, there is a layer of black stuff, and some puddles will bubble up from time to time.

In the puddle, there were many pieces of wood lying horizontally, and the black grease that floated on the surface of the water was gathered together.

Holding a jar in your hand to collect the black grease floating on the surface of the water into a wooden barrel, or gathering together the pieces of wood that have been soaked in a lot of black oil.

There are still many people digging in the vicinity, and there is a wonderful dazzling color reflected on the surface of the water, which glows seven colors in the sun.

The puddles near the creek were apparently dug by hand, and the grease floated on the surface of the water to be enriched with still water or pieces of wood.

A person next to him said: "Fourth brother, this should be what kind of stone fat oil seedlings Mr. Chen asked us to find, right?" He didn't say that there were sales in Mincheng, we asked a lot of people, this place should be right. ”

"This place is a bit out of the ordinary. Have you asked? Who owns this land? ”

"None of them. It's a group of people from the neighborhood doing this. Collect it into barrels and sell it to Mincheng. Or it is used for medicine, or for the fire tribulus terrestris used for naval stringing, or it is used to lubricate iron tools in some workshops. This piece of land can be sold for 1,800 silver coins a year. ”

Zhao Si was a little strange and asked, "No one buys this land?" ”

"Some people wanted to buy it, but the house was burned down just a few days after they came, and they understood that they couldn't stay still, so they left. Besides, you can't make much money in a year, and those who are really rich won't buy this, and digging puddles every day and scraping them with scoops in the pit is not a good job.

One person said strangely: "What do you say Mr. Chen asked us to do in this place?" His industry of tens of thousands of silver coins a year, how can he still look at the place of hundreds of silver coins a year? ”

Zhao Si snorted and scolded: "You know a fart? Since Mr. Chen has taken a fancy to it, he will let us find it when he comes back, and there must be a lot of money to be made. Is there a time when he suffers? When people came back from the capital, didn't they forget to bring us a few bottles of the capital's wine? How much is the wine? The friendship has arrived. Besides, we also share a lot of money a year, if it is really an industry of hundreds of silver coins, do you really think that Mr. Chen can afford it? ”

He was actually very strange in his heart, after Chen Jian accidentally found the stone grease in the Mincheng pharmacy a few months ago, he asked Zhao Si to inquire where these things came from.

At that time, he didn't take it seriously, but after returning from the capital, Chen Jian asked again when he was drinking, and Zhao Si remembered it and hurried to do it.

Before going to the mining area again, Chen Jian instructed Zhao Si: If he found the oil seedlings he said, ask who the land belonged to.

As soon as Zhao Si heard it, he understood that Jian Chen wanted this land.

He knows this line of work. If it's cultivated land, you can talk about it. If you can't talk about it, light a fire at night, or sprinkle salt and lime on it; the next set of gambling to deceive people into the pit; Blocking the road and not allowing entry and exit, etc., forcing people to move.

At the same time, Chen Jianyou told him that if he found it, he would immediately buy a batch of cattle, as well as a large number of moso bamboos and a master who could repair moso bamboo, and look for them with a lot of money.

Zhao Si didn't think about buying cattle and it had anything to do with this oil seedling. A few years ago, Chen Jian asked him to contact some farms or large slaughterers to see how to sell the cattle blood of the large slaughterers in Mincheng, and let him find a way to collect all the cow blood into his own hands.

He thought that Jian Chen asked him to buy cattle for cow blood, which was simple. The matter of moso bamboo, it is not difficult, there is bamboo nearby, there are many craftsmen who are proficient in bamboo craftsmanship, Chen Jian said that the bamboo knot of a whole moso bamboo can be opened from the inside, and the two bamboos of thickness are stuffed together, although no one uses these strange postures, but just find a better bamboo craftsman to do it.

Now it seems that the land has been found, although it is far away, it is still in Nan'an. Zhao Si felt that Chen Jian would do it, and he would have to leave the rest to himself.

At this time, a few people with sticks came over from the opposite side, and shouted with cross-eyebrows: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhao Si saw that there were many people on the other side, so he muttered: "It's nothing, just take a look." ”

scolded a few words on the other side and told him to get out, he estimated that he couldn't beat others, so he obediently took people away.

"Go back. I'm going to inform Mr. Chen, and you can contact some friends. ”

"How?"

"Eat first, don't talk about things. It may or may not be used. ”
