Back in the inn, Qin Tianmin came to Lu Hong nervously, "Engong, it seems that something is wrong, when I was walking around outside in the morning, I always felt that someone was staring, I asked the guy just now, and said that the inn came to the inn last night with a guy The official came to the house, saying that it was from Jinan Mansion, I thought it might be trouble to come to the door!" ”

Lu Hong heard it, this Qin Tianmin owed a debt of thousands of taels of silver, which alarmed the bandits, and this also had to use official errands, the officialdom of this Shandong territory is really chaotic, could it be that this guy still has something to hide from himself? Under questioning, Qin Tianmin squeaked and told another story.

"Engong, when I was planning the Qingcheng County Order, Zhang Hengyuan, the county commander of Wei County, was also planning to transfer, I didn't know at the time, but I found someone to make money to the Ministry of Officials, and the errand came down, and someone gave me the news, saying that he offended the governor of the Yamen Zhang, and then I knew that Zhang Shouling Zhang Daotai was the uncle of the Wei County Order, and then I asked someone to send a tribute to Zhang Daotai, but I also returned it......"

Lu Hong frowned, speaking of which, this Qin Tianmin was wearing small shoes in Qingcheng County! No wonder listen to him, everything is not going well in the officialdom! However, I didn't expect this matter to get bigger and bigger, this Taizhang Shouling looks powerful, and this black hand in the officialdom is not easy to guard......

And he immediately thought of another thing, and immediately asked: "Brother Qin, it stands to reason that your silver will not be borrowed from the hand of the surname Zhang, right?" Is there any trick in the other person's hands? ”

"Engong, the silver is raised from the Da Sheng Rong ticket number, with an annual interest rate of 1 and a half minutes, Da Sheng Rong is the brother-in-law of the governor Fu, and it has nothing to do with Zhang Shouling, the handle, there should be nothing in their hands, otherwise, it is estimated that they will come directly to get people!" Qin Tianmin is also miserable now, he didn't expect that his painstaking official position was gone, and he would cause such a big trouble!

Lu Hong walked back and forth in the house a few times, and then asked: "Brother Qin, the grudge between you and Zhang Shouling is just because of the actual position of this Qingcheng County Order, if you abandon this official position, I don't know if you can solve this trouble?" As for Da Shengrong's troubles, I think you should already have a way to deal with it! ”

Qin Tianmin rubbed his fists and walked back and forth for a cup of tea, and then he made up his mind, "Engong, then I'll go and meet these poor masters of Jinan Mansion and make a decision about the matter!" ”

Lu Hong watched Qin Tianmin take the loyal servant Lao Qin to the backyard of the inn, but he didn't bother to keep up, this matter had to be solved by himself after all, and he wanted to follow him on a completely different path, obviously he couldn't have so much trouble to drag him down, and he could see that Qin Tianmin was indeed ruthless.

Now Qin Tianmin has completely given up continuing to struggle in his precarious position as the county magistrate, of course, he is obviously skeptical about the vision cake that Lu Hong showed him, but today's performance can already see that he is ready to break the cauldron and sink the boat, in fact, he has no way to retreat!

After only half a day's work, Qin Tianmin came back with a calm expression, holding a sandalwood delicate box in his arms, just looking at the carving and the emerald inlaid on it, you can see the preciousness, this guy gave this thing to Lu Hong's hand, "Engong, this is the little belongings I still have at hand, and I should repay you for saving your life...... I'm going to go to Jinan Mansion soon, and I'm done with it, so please be sure to wait for me in Mengyin! ”

This guy ...... At this point, he didn't forget to calculate himself, Lu Hong thought about it for a while, and naturally understood Qin Tianmin's intention to do this, and completely expressed the sincerity of cooperation in the name of repaying his kindness, this guy must go to Jinan Mansion after seeing the coal mine start, as for how he solves the big trouble, then he doesn't have to worry about it, he has no ability at all, and he is a useless person to himself!

Early the next morning, Lu Hong took Wu Shengxi and Qin Tianmin to appear in the disaster relief porridge field at the Wenshui Wharf in the north gate, the county is only a little bigger, and the news has already spread, there is money in the yamen to catch the head of the fat man, and more than a dozen officials are showing off their power to maintain order around the porridge field, and five or six cauldrons have already been boiling, and the fragrance of sorghum rice, brown rice and miscellaneous grains mixed together makes the whole wharf smell.

The peasants and beggars who lined up at the entrance of the porridge field had already lined up with a queue of about two or three hundred people as soon as dawn, and they were still extending, which even exceeded Lu Hong's expectations......

However, a large number of people waiting for the soup soup obviously found that today's porridge field is a little different from the past, a middle-aged man at the door is shaking his head to explain the notice hanging at the door of the porridge field, "Wu County Order can't bear the hunger of the fathers and the elderly, today the special order is to work for relief, no labor is not allowed, participate in the labor of the author, in the morning and afternoon, each has two portions of porridge, today is the work is to put the wood and stone on the wharf on the boat, willing to work, come to me to get a sign, and someone will take you to work!" ”

Lu Hong listened to this rule, and immediately wrinkled his nose, he remembered clearly, what Wu County ordered before was that all the porridge was given, of course, it was a rule set by himself to give one more porridge for participating in labor...... As a result, by the time I got here, the rules had already changed, and this yin and yang violation was really straightforward! No wonder the two old officials said that the 10 stone rice was enough for porridge for half a month......

The people lining up below were chattering, and some of the people who liked to work hard left immediately, but many people dragged their families to escape the famine, relying on short-term work or begging in the city to survive, this cold winter wax moon, I don't know how many people failed to get the soup porridge of well-wishers, I heard that they could get two copies, and they couldn't wait for it, and they still muttered vigorously "Lord Wu is really a green master!" ”

Qin Tianmin next to him naturally saw Lu Hong's expression, and immediately smiled after asking: "Engong, this is an official, and the officials below must not be underestimated, whether the affairs of the yamen can be completed or not depends on whether they are willing to do things...... Of course, when they come out to give porridge, they must want that benefit, and the 10 stone grain, if it is loose in their hands, they can have six or seven stones to take out the soup porridge is already a good person, otherwise where will they come from for their own food! ”

This truth immediately made Wu Shengxi, who was still reading the sage book on the side, snort dissatisfiedly, this guy was obviously still immersed in the realm of "sage to the people", and he was quite disdainful of Qin Tianmin, who was also a scholar......

Lu Hong smiled slightly, from this guy's mouth, he obviously has a deeper understanding of this era, although this thing is not a decent gentleman, but it is indeed a person who can help himself, he thought about it for a while, and asked: "Brother Qin, if Lord Wu asks about this, wouldn't he be annoyed by the people below!" ”

"Engong, how can these old officials' methods be like this, the soup soup is not over at this time, and before it ends, the remaining residual porridge will be washed and brushed, and it will naturally be given to the old and weak!" Qin Tianmin's calm narration made Lu Hong and Wu Shengxi cry and laugh, but they had nothing to say.

However, soon their attention turned to the waist card that went to work on the dock, and after a while, 43 waist cards had been issued, in addition, there were more than twenty or thirty women and children, Lu Hong even saw that there were twelve or thirteen years old, and children who were not as tall as a flat shoulder also came to receive the waist card......

It's just that today's soup kitchen is not only for the sake of Wu County's name, but more importantly, to recruit a group of laborers who are really willing to work hard, which is an important foundation for the coal mine to continue to make profits...... And this batch of wood and stone was also specially obtained by the Qian family in order to build a house in the mining area, God knows how, anyway, it only took a day to pile up a hill on the wharf.

Qian Yiduo obviously underestimated the labor force of these people, and at noon, a mountain of materials were transported onto the flat-bottomed boat, and these laborers, after drinking a bowl of porridge, began to struggle for the next bowl of porridge, and also went to the open-pit mining area of Wennan Village, where the Qian family had already taken the official document from the yamen to circle a large piece of land next to the mountain.

In the afternoon, when Lu Hong felt the coal mine, a small water turbine was already being installed by the small river outside the mining area, but because they did not know how to assemble the coal separator, Li Blacksmith and Liu Carpenter brought various parts and components that were stacked in the temporary wooden shed.

Lu Hong once again mobilized the super industrial system, familiar with the drawings and holograms of the M1 concentrator, and immediately commanded Li Blacksmith, Liu Carpenter and the apprentices they brought, and in the afternoon, a chute of more than 4 meters, under the manpower shake can operate smoothly The concentrator has been installed.

Of course, what made Lu Hong speechless again was that Europe had entered the scientific era of standard measurement in this era, but the measuring tapes used by Mengyin were still varied, which led to the iron drum transmission made by Blacksmith Li slightly enlarged compared with the original design, while Carpenter Liu's chute assembly was slightly smaller in size.

And the next morning, Wu Xianling, Lu Hong, Qian Yiduo, Qin Tianmin all appeared in the mine together, a group of workers in yesterday's phase have begun to work on the original two pits in the open-pit mining area, and the water turbine completed yesterday has been hung on the coal separator, the coal block is simply hammered and sent to the funnel-shaped inlet, through the drum transmission device to drive the coal separator, the whole long chute is slowly vibrating up and down, and there is a water tank to divert water to fill in.

The scene is full of monotonous and piercing "click" sound of the coal separator, but this seemingly crude machinery is indeed very efficient to operate, and the raw coal mixed with various stones and coal skewers impurities enters from the front end, and the black and shiny coal that continues to roll down from the tail of the chute, the raw coal has become the refined coal mentioned by Lu Hong after this seemingly simple treatment!

Everyone was stunned to see that the machine was operating very faithfully, and Lu Hong was experiencing another surprise at this moment, after the M1 concentrator began to work, the super industrial system had obviously undergone some changes, and the hologram, in addition to the first-level resource acquisition system, there was already one more hint at this moment!

"Hello, the Level 1 Evaluation System is activated, you can now evaluate the M1 concentrator!"

Lu Hong needs to click on the image, and a holographic image will come out immediately, and the image of the concentrator in front of him will also appear in the screen, and the system score ...... next to the concentrator will be indicated: "M1 primary concentrator, product efficacy of 63%, measurement and processing efficiency...... 0.2 tonnes of raw coal per hour!"

Ya, this rating is really low enough...... This efficiency is also greatly reduced!

Fast, a number formed in Lu Hong's mind, according to the average day of operation of 10 hours, that can process 2 tons per day, if converted into profits, with a profit of 50 per 100 catties, this machine alone, a day of income of nearly 2000 Wen, the only question is, this completely dependent on manpower to dig the mining area, will be limited by production capacity.

Thinking of this, Lu Hong turned around and came to the newly excavated floating soil open-pit coal pit, a magical thing happened, after starting the first-level evaluation system, when he saw the laborers in the pit, the system would immediately start the evaluation, and a quantitative figure would be given later, when Lu Hong observed one of the quite strong, bronzed men wearing a torn jacket this season, the system actually obtained the highest production efficiency of the workers present, Digging 0.3 tons of raw coal per hour, which is nearly 600 catties, it seems that this manual mining is still not inefficient.

Of course, there are also workers who don't work very hard in the field, and Lu Hong doesn't bother to pay attention to it, and everything is not on the right track...... When he returned to the concentrator, Qian Yiduo was already asking people to weigh the refined coal with scales, and later excitedly whispered to Wu County Ling to report the estimated production capacity, and suddenly, Wu Daxuan's rigid horse face was also full of flowers!

After the emergence of the first-level evaluation system, Lu Hong suddenly remembered an important management initiative!
