Chapter 15: Black Gold

On the second day, Wang Xuance, who had a bit of a headache, got out of bed and saw the eldest grandson exhaling white qi and making strange movements in the yard, which he had an indescribable meaning.

originally felt that even if his talent was not the first in the world, it could be regarded as rare in the world.

When I was in Luoyang City, I despised those noble second generations. I always feel that they are the kind of waste who are useless except for their family background, but today I look at the back of the eldest grandson and feel that I am a waste.

It's just that no one has a good family background, but no one has worked hard, and more importantly, when people are working hard, they are complaining, so there is always a reason for success.

Wang Tietang was also on the side, basically the two of them trained together every day, but Changsun Tang was a little sad, the stone pier that he couldn't lift with both hands, Wang Tietang could do it with one hand, which made Changsun Tang feel that he was a waste.

A lot of things are like this, I feel like a waste, but the person I envy actually thinks I am a waste. This is not irony, nor does it confirm how unbearable a person is, but it is just that they are in different positions and look at things from different angles.

Wang Xuance felt that it was necessary to ask his sister more about the matter of Changsun Tang, it was really not good, he followed him for a period of time, when he chatted with his sister yesterday, he still remembered that Changsun Tang really wasted a lot of energy for this one-armed bodyguard, with such a leader, I think the future days and achievements will not be too bad.

Doing it when you think of it is one of Wang Xuance's points.

After breakfast, when the eldest grandson was about to go out, Wang Xuance followed.

"Eldest grandson, please stay." Wang Xuance intercepted the eldest grandson who was about to go out.

"What's the matter with Prince Wang? Are you planning to leave today? "Changsun Tang knows that people like Wang Xuance belong to the kind of stubborn donkey-type talents who don't go away and retreat, so he asked.

"Oh, that's the case, I see that Brother Zhiyuan is planning to visit this Jinyang today, I have come a few days early, and I am still familiar, why don't you have me to lead the way?" Wang Xuance blushed a little, but thinking of the current situation, how can people not bow their heads when they are under the eaves.

"It's okay, then I'll bother Brother Wang." Changsun Tang knew that there were some things that could not be done too much, so he gave Wang Xuance a step.

When passing through Fang City, Changsun Tang made a new discovery.

Watching the eldest grandson staring at the black thing, Wang Xuance seemed to have discovered a new continent.

"Guest officer, do you want to buy some charcoal to go back?" The stall owner asked tentatively, but the Jinyang accent was too far away from Chang'an's official speech, and Changsun Tang didn't react for a while.

"Oh, you say it's called coal?" The eldest grandson asked.

"Yes, don't look at it as a stone, and it's also mined from the ground, of course it has to be called coal." As soon as the stall owner heard Changsun Tang speak with a foreign accent, he decided to try his luck.

"Then what can I do when I buy it back?" The eldest grandson knew that this was coal, and there was really nowhere to find it when he stepped on the iron shoes, and it turned out that someone had already mined it.

"It's okay to heat and cook." The stall owner said that as expected, the coal at this time was only used as fuel.

"And how is this sold?"

"Ten catties for a penny, don't look more expensive than firewood, but more than firewood and burned." The stall owner introduced.

"Oh, could it be cheaper?" The eldest grandson tentatively asked.

"Twelve catties for a penny, it can't be less, you go to those few stores and ask, it won't be sold for less than a penny and eight catties." The stall owner hurriedly said.

"Zhang Zhong, you go and ask." Naturally, it is impossible for Changsun Tang to be fooled like this.

Zhang Zhong asked around, and the price was really the same as what the stall owner said.

"Housheng, don't be fooled." A man of some age stopped the eldest grandson. This offspring is the most common way for elders to refer to younger generations here.

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" The eldest grandson asked.

"His charcoal is very cheap, but no one dares to burn it." The old man said.

"I don't know what to call it." The eldest grandson had a rough plan in his heart.

"My surname is He, I am the Lizheng here, and I will never let him deceive you." As soon as he said this, the stall owner's drooping head was lowered, who knew that he had met this plague god at this juncture.

"Dare to ask He Lizheng, is this charcoal poisonous?" The eldest grandson asked.

"It seems that you are a connoisseur, but I am too talkative. As soon as he burned the coal, the yellow smoke billowed out, and the people next to him would cough and cry, making people dare not stop. Changsun Tang was very surprised, at this time, he already had the concept of bituminous coal and anthracite.

"Thank you for the reminder."

"It's okay, since you know what's at stake, then I won't talk much." He walked away as he spoke.

"Childe, this is not a small pure deception, it's just that all my family's savings have been invested in it, but the coal that came out is like this, and dozens of people in my family have lived on this, which is really unbearable." The stall owner hurriedly apologized, but he didn't notice the contradiction in his words.

"There are dozens of people in your family, and it seems that there are a lot of followers, why are you doing this in person?" Wang Xuance was not polite and said it directly.

"This, this ......" The stall owner actually threw down the stall and ran away.

Seeing that the stall owner's somewhat fat body could run so fast, he left the stunned four eldest grandsons.

The eldest grandson had already made a plan at this time, so he no longer planned to test Wang Xuance too much.

"Brother Wang, I need you to help me go to Jingzhou for something, I don't know what you think." Sometimes, what is yours is yours after all, and what is not yours is not yours after all, and there is no need to deliberately accomplish something.

"I don't know what?" Wang Xuance hesitated, but still said it.

"You go to the Jingzhou Governor's Mansion to find Wu Yuanqing, the eldest prince of the Yingguo Mansion, and ask him to gather a group of cement-burning craftsmen to come to Jinyang, the salary is preferential, and the family can move to Jinyang after working for a year." Changsun Tang originally planned to let the power of the people to promote cement, but when he arrived in Chang'an City for half a year, this cement did not appear.

"But my sister ......" This is Wang Xuance's final excuse, if he wants to go, he will arrange it in advance, if he doesn't go, this must be the reason not to go.

"In this case, my sister will be handed over to Brother Zhiyuan to take care of, and I will pack up and leave tomorrow." Wang Xuance originally didn't plan to go, but this future is a little confused for him, and there is something to do, which is better than being hungry. The big belly is the biggest.

Wang Xuance decided that Changsun Tang's Jinyang industrial plan could basically be prepared.

As the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry appointed by the imperial court, Tuntian Langzhong can be stationed in Jinyang, but this must be reported for the record after all.

Returning to the inn, the eldest grandson began to prepare two things, one was the reason why Shang Yuming stayed in Jinyang, and the other was to prepare the plan for industrial development.
