However, it was said that after some twists and turns, the matter of mining carboniferous ore was finally beyond doubt, and the group rushed to Qianling.

After a careful investigation, Lao Dao chose a location in a clearing at the foot of the mountain, and said: "Just dig down from here, and you can dig out the coal." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, why don't you dig down and dig up." Zhao Kun is very positive. Everyone also responded, picked up hoes and shovels to dig up, but Xuanqing walked away, looking around to explore the terrain and estimate some of the conditions such as the direction of the carboniferous mine. In a short time, the flat ground at the foot of the mountain was already devastated.

Xu Fan was also helping on the side, listlessly helping to transport the mud, but he was thinking in his heart: What is this, good weather, not swimming in the river, catching a few big fish is refreshing, and digging here for no reason. I also thought that if I couldn't dig up the black coal, everyone would definitely think that this Taoist priest was talking nonsense, and even cut off the dragon veins of other people, this old way would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and everyone wouldn't have to do this boring egg thing.

Xu Fan thought about it, couldn't help laughing, and deliberately shouted impatiently: "Ouch, why is there no movement at all, is that bull-nosed old way miscalculated?" It doesn't matter if you miscalculate the mine, if you dig up the dragon vein, it will be terrible. ”

Several people in the vicinity heard it clearly, and their legs were frightened by these words. Muttering began to talk about it. "Eh, if you really dig up the dragon vein, it will be bad." "Yes, our village is already so poor, when the time comes, we will destroy the feng shui, I'm afraid it will ・・・・・・" "Wouldn't it be impossible to steal chickens and rice?" ”“・・・・・・”

The gossip spread out one after another, and everyone gradually lost their enthusiasm and became listless, not wanting to continue digging. This gossip reached the ears of the patriarch, and the patriarch was immediately angry, and he had clearly said at the entrance of the village that the dragon vein of Zhaolou Village was in the back mountain, not in the front ridge at all, and there must be some guys who were lazy and made excuses to shake the hearts of the army.

The patriarch stood on a boulder, "Everyone cheer up and do your best. It's said that the dragon vein is in the back mountain, don't believe those gossip. As the patriarch, I am also seeking the well-being of our Zhao Lou, or we will be poor for the rest of our lives, you will not do it! "The patriarch has the heart to lead the villagers to get rich, and the mood is that the world can learn from heaven and earth, as long as there is a chance to dig a coal mine, it will also be done.

"At this rate, even if there is a treasure, I don't know how long it will take to dig it!" One of the villagers responded.

"Everyone," Liang Wenzhen shouted, "this kind of coal, which is what I call coal, was made after thousands of years after ancient trees were buried, so it is not uncommon to use coal, but it has rarely been discovered and exploited." If the people of Zhaolou Village find out and buy money first, it will be a preemptive step, and if it is dug up everywhere, it will be worthless. In addition, since coal is buried in the soil by ancient trees, some are buried deep, and some are shallow. In this place, there is a lot of coal, so don't be discouraged. ”

Everyone felt that it made sense, and muttered, "That's right." "I didn't dig that deep!" "How deep do you have to dig?" “・・・・・・”

"Then the big official, how deep do you have to dig this?" A bearded villager, bold, asked sharply.

"This ・・・・・・," Liang Wenzhen paused and said, "Oh, this Dao Master probably knows." All in all, you have to dig seven or eight zhang deep, if it is shallow, your ancestors would have dug it out long ago. ”

Everyone felt reasonable, no longer cranky, and dug deep with one mind.

I don't know how long it was, but I listened to "Ah! Liang Wenzhen and Xu Fan rushed over one after the other, but they didn't see the coal, only to see a villager sleeping on the ground, and the villagers next to him hurriedly went to help him.

"What's going on?" Liang Wenzhen asked eagerly. The man seemed to have bitten his tongue with nervousness just now, sticking out his tongue and panting, looking like he couldn't speak in pain. The man who was holding him said: "Maybe I dug up some snakes, insects, rats and ants, and I was startled, and I accidentally bit my tongue, right?" ”

Liang Wen really thought so, and was about to nod, but the man hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, as if to explain that it was not the same thing. He tried to say something, but he couldn't really hear it.

The few people sitting around were frowning, not knowing what to do. At this moment, the man had a flash of inspiration, rolled his eyes, and suddenly got up to dig up the loose dirt on the ground.

Liang Wenzhen's eyes were straight, and he seemed to have an answer in his heart, but it was not so real. A piece of black entered his eyes, Liang Wenzhen was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes, and looked at it again, there was no doubt that it was indeed a charcoal, so Liang Wenzhen exclaimed: "I dug it." Got it! Several villagers around were also excited, as if they were about to jump, shouting, "Dig, dig!" ”

Everyone gathered to watch, all of them were extremely excited, only Xu Fan, like a sick cat, listless. What the Taoist priest said was true, but Xu Fan's heart became empty for a while, he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, but arbitrarily refuted others, this is good, it's a shame.

Where do you care about Xu Fan's thoughts, they are smiling and talking about it. "It's done." "Isn't it?" "Xuanqing Dao is profound, I want to ask him to go back to my house to see Feng Shui." Me too. "Me too." "In my opinion, our village needs to set up a feng shui array, so as to ensure that people and money are prosperous." "yes, yes. Don't miss out on this opportunity. ”“・・・・・・”

"Don't be impatient, big guy," Liang Wenzhen said to the crowd, "Now that the black coal has been dug out, everything is already a matter of course." What matters now is the planning and planning of future mining. Let's go down the mountain first, and I will discuss with the Taoist chief, and then determine some mining matters according to the specific situation of this coal mine. ”

When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense, and they said this, called friends, and prepared to go down the mountain. Liang Wenzhen felt that there was still something that had not been explained clearly, so he patted his forehead and frowned. "Oh," Liang Wenzhen suddenly realized, "come and dig a few baskets of coal back, and I'll teach everyone to make briquettes." ”

A few people who walked behind immediately came up, digging coal, and at the same time arranged for men to go down the mountain to fetch bamboo baskets to load. Liang Wenzhen was relieved at this time, and the rest of the people turned back, leaving only Xu Fan and Liang Wenzhen to go together.

"Brother Fan." Liang Wenzhen called Xu Fan. Xu Fan knew that he was talking nonsense, he did reckless things, he lowered his head and didn't dare to reply, but Liang Wenzhen was meaningful, and said: "Look, don't be in a hurry to refute others in everything, you must know that there is a specialization in the art industry, and if you don't understand it, you must be modest, don't be blindly arrogant, and there is no one in your eyes." ”

Xu Fan lowered his head and said softly, "Got it, Brother Liang." I won't be in the future. Immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly had a little reverence for Xuanqing Daoist.

After Liang Wenzhen went back, he ordered someone to dig up some loess, and explained to make some hollow wooden tubes, which were almost as big as the index fingers and thumbs of both hands could hug together. The bottom surface of the wooden cylinder should be sealed, and in the direction of the barrel, make some thumb-thick wooden sticks, and insert them vertically on the bottom surface, and the wooden sticks should be just flat than the height of the wooden cylinder.

The old carpenter in the village did what Liang Wenzhen instructed, but he couldn't figure out what the use of making this thing was, but he didn't dare to ask.

In a short time, loess, black coal, broken straw, wooden tubes, and water were all ready. Liang Wenzhen was on a flat stone in the village and said to everyone: "Now, I will teach everyone how to make honeycomb briquettes." I saw him crush the black coal and loess with a shovel, add some broken straw, and constantly flip it, blend it evenly with each other, and pour it upside down, and he didn't forget to explain at the same time: "The black coal and loess must be crushed, and the harmony must be uniform, and it must not be perfunctory." ”

Everyone didn't dare to say anything, and watched Liang Wenzhen make briquettes carefully, afraid that if Liang Wenzhen left in the future, they would not know what to do.

"Alright, let's start adding water." When Liang Wenzhen spoke, he piled the mixed black coal dust into a small mountain, dug out a pit from the center, poured water into the pit, observed it for a while, felt that it was appropriate, and buried the puddle with dry powder.

"Wait until the water is fully absorbed by the black coal dust, and you're good to go." Liang Wenzhen gossiped with everyone, about half a pillar of incense, and then went to stir the wet pulverized coal, and after stirring evenly, he pinched it with his hand, which was just right to form. nodded and said, "At this level, you just need to use a wooden tube as a mold to make honeycomb briquettes." ”

As he spoke, Liang Wenzhen wet the wooden tube, packed the reconciled black coal powder, compacted it, and said: "Just like that, choose an appropriate place to gently push out the black ball inside, and dry it to finish." After finishing speaking, he gently pushed the briquette out and shook it to the flat ground.

And all the people came up to see it carefully. The honeycomb-shaped briquettes are really unheard of and unseen, and everyone is amazed. "Wow, that's amazing." "Looks pretty good." "I don't know why there are so many holes in it?" “・・・・・・”

At this time, Xuanqing just had explored the terrain and smiled Yingying coming over. Everyone greeted enthusiastically, "Haha," Liang Wenzhen listened to everyone's discussions, smug, and said, "You can try it first, I'm going to discuss mining matters with the Dao Chief." Everyone was eager to try, and they did it according to Liang Wenzhen's appearance.

Liang Wenzhen and Xuanqing went to find the patriarch and sat in a side room. With some pen and ink, a few people locked up in the house to discuss and study carefully, and made a detailed plan for the mining matters. Then, Liang Wenzhen introduced the concept of modern enterprise management and wrote down the management of coal mines.

In this material, Liang Wenzhen made a detailed plan for the management and operation of the coal mine in the company's model, and called several people with high education and virtue in the village, and I believe that he told them his ideas. Although everyone heard a little understanding, they probably understood it together.

"For a while, it is difficult to say clearly, and my ideas may not be practical, in the future production practice, you will have your own ideas." Liang Wenzhen saw that it was getting late, and said to everyone. Everyone nodded their heads, and Liang Wenzhen said the point, "Then let's end here." ”

Everyone is still unsatisfied, and the love is gone. The patriarch had already set up a banquet to thank Liang Wenzhen and his entourage for their contribution to Zhaolou Village. The wine and food are not a problem, and the villagers' heartfelt thanks are even more moving.

Many villagers asked Xuanqing to go back to help look at the feng shui, but Xuanqing was already too busy to collapse, so he had to say: "The feng shui of Zhaolou Village is impeccable." It's just that this coal mine has affected the operation of the five elements, and now that it is mined, the five elements are prosperous, and it is prosperous for both people and money. Then the people gave up.

A banquet was eaten late into the night. Early the next morning, I hit the road. The villagers sent all kinds of dry food, roast chicken, roast duck, and roast goose, and said goodbye to the team.

In front of it is the boundary of Yuncheng, as a farewell to Zhaolou Village, what will happen, and listen to the next decomposition.
