Chapter 93: What He Sees and Hears in the Valley of Peace

Sunflower Ancestor and Dugu Zhu are not unlearned people, so they agree with what Huang Sheng said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, a voice came from behind him: "What this noble man said is extremely true! The owner of this valley of peace is indeed a man of great talent! ”

When everyone looked back, it turned out to be the camel team that they had just overtaken, and the person who spoke looked like the treasurer of the camel team.

This shopkeeper looks like he is fifty or sixty years old, which makes Huang Sheng and the others very strange.

In this era, people generally live a relatively short life, and fifty or sixty can already be regarded as longevity.

People of this age generally live at home, how can they come out to drive the camel caravan to trade, is it for the two money, they also fight?

"Oh! I don't know the shopkeeper, why do you say this? I hope to teach you a thing or two! ”

Although Huang Shang is old, he looks younger than the shopkeeper, just like Dugu Zhu, he looks very young.

However, many years of nurturing qi in the sea of books have made him have a sense of nobility, so although he said a word of inquiry casually, it has already made the shopkeeper feel flattered!

"Where is the teaching, since the nobles ask each other, the little old man naturally knows everything, and he has no end to it!" The old shopkeeper said a little excitedly.

"Mr. Bai Niu Chen Jin knows astronomy and geography, you know this, right?" The old shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"Please also ask the old man not to sell Guanzi, I Duguzhu only know that this Chen Jincai is a martial arts that is shocking and crying ghosts and gods, but I don't know astronomy and geography, and I ask the old man to talk about it in detail!"

The old man likes to let people praise him when he speaks, and now Dugu Zhu knows how to praise it, so the old man is satisfied after successfully selling it!

So he continued: "It's not an exaggeration to say that he knows astronomy and geography, but what kind of business do you do? ”

"I'm in the peat business, but it's not called peat in the Valley of Peace, it's called coal.

In the past, when only a few dozen people from Wangjia Village were here, cow dung, horse dung and sheep dung, as well as some dead branches in the groves on the barren hills, were barely enough for the people of the village to make fires in their daily lives. ”

"But since Mr. Bai Niu began to crack down on bandits last year, a total of thousands of people have moved here, not to mention making a fire, even drinking water has become a problem!"

Speaking of this, the old shopkeeper paused and continued: "No water, in the eyes of others, is a catastrophe, but in the eyes of Mr. Bai Niu, this is not a matter!" ”

"There is a young scholar named Li Mingtai, who brought back Mr. and drew a map, and only two places were drawn on the map, one place is where the current water eye is, and the other place is where Xiao Lao'er's current coal vein is located!"

"Thousands of people, in one day, dug a river that went around the current residential area of the city, and finally dug up the water eye.

Do you know that the water eye is only half a foot from the ground, but no one before Mr. can see that it is actually a dark river! ”

"It's not surprising that you say that he knows a water eye, after all, the art of mountain and river geography, it is very simple to learn to be proficient in finding water!"

Speaking of this, the old shopkeeper became excited: "Do you know how deep the little old man's current ore vein is from the ground before it is dug up?" ”

"It was five feet deep, and no one believed it before digging it, but there was still coal under that piece of land, because there was not even a trace of coal on that layer of soil.

But others don't believe me! For sir, I believe it unreservedly! So Mr. gave this coal mine to Xiao Lao'er at a suitable price! ”

When he said this, the little old man's face was full of red light: "According to the position given by the gentleman, the little old son dug straight down for five zhang, and when the little old man saw the black coal, he burst into tears on the spot!" ”

"I don't know if Mr. knows astronomy, but whoever wants to say that Mr. doesn't understand geography, the little old man will be the first to be anxious with him!"

In fact, this is just the place of the Jing'an Coal Mine in the later generations, and Chen Jincai is very, very confident that there is a coal mine under that land, which may not be a big mine in modern times, but here, this is already a very amazing vein!

Hearing this, someone raised a different opinion, and that person was a member of the Yellow Horse Team.

It was a man in his thirties, and he said disapprenously: "He knows where the water eye is, and he knows where the coal veins are?" It is very likely that it is his teacher, who has a record before! ”

This suspicion is normal, and it is very normal, which, no matter who you are, may be so suspicious!

Because how to look at it, such a young man and a half, only fifteen or sixteen years old, how could it be because of the master of geography, and he can also look at water veins and mineral veins.

But it's not, it's completely unbelievable, so you have to come up with evidence, don't you?

"Good! Unbelief? Then I'll talk about this coal, in fact, coal is not a rare thing, but in the Great Song Dynasty, very few people actually use it, even if I don't say it, you know why, isn't it because there are often reasons to use coal and cause yourself to be smoked to death! ”

"But it hasn't happened in the Valley of Peace, do you know why?" The old shopkeeper asked proudly.

Threesomes must have my teacher! This sentence is Huang Shang, who is a scholar of the official residence university, also agrees with it.

So he solemnly saluted the old shopkeeper: "I want to hear it!" ”

Huang Shang seemed to be the most noble one in this group, and his courtesy made the old shopkeeper feel a little fluttery.

Without saying a word, he began to speak: "I heard that the people of the Great Song Dynasty don't want to use this coal because it is easy to poison people with charcoal, and this problem is not a problem for Mr. at all!" ”

"He directly built a stove, an iron stove, and connected an iron pipe to lead the poisonous smoke out of the house, and he also taught us to make honeycomb coal, which can make the coal fire more vigorous!"

"Isn't all this something that people who don't know how to do it?"

There must be my teacher! This sentence is Huang Shang, who is a scholar of the official residence university, also agrees with it.

So he solemnly saluted the old shopkeeper: "I want to hear it!" ”

Huang Shang seemed to be the most noble one in this group, and his courtesy made the old shopkeeper feel a little fluttery.

"All of this is unlearned. )
