Chapter 129: Finding the Coal Field
"Everyone remembers, to make this pool, pay special attention to not have gaps, and holes, otherwise there will be air leakage, there will be accidents, now I just take you to practice, and when we find the coppersmith, we will give this pool in one go." ……
"Xiao Lang Jun, Xiao Lang Jun, we found it, and we finally found it." When Yang Heng took his younger brothers and sisters to explain to them some precautions about biogas and the matter of making pools, a few of Daddy's guards rode horses from afar, panting and running over, and even the horses they sat on were panting, which showed how fast they were running.
"Come, you speak slowly, or rest for a while, little lady, you take a few people to get tea and pour water for this uncle." Yang Heng was in a hurry to take out some of the names of later generations.
"Uncle, drink water." Xiaoniang listened to Yang Heng's words very much, Yang Heng called her whatever she called, she called her, and a few children who followed behind, those who served the teapot and the teacup who took the teacup.
"Don't dare, don't dare, little lady, little Langjun, the little one doesn't dare to let you call it that." As he spoke, he took a sip of the teacup, and then drank a few more glasses of water, which is also the most cups the children bring, if he poured one cup after another, maybe he would drink it with the teapot.
"Xiao Langjun, the coal you are talking about is this thing," as he spoke, he took a small sack from the back of the horse, but when Yang Heng saw it, he knew that it was coal, because the coal ash leaked out of the cracks, and they also had coal ash on their bodies.
"Come down and drink a glass of water." Only then did Yang Heng notice that it was a small head who came down to drink water, and the other soldiers did not come down, because they did not receive orders.
"Xiao Langjun asked you to come down, you can come down, and you want me to invite you." This boss also spoke, it turned out that he didn't speak, they didn't dare to act casually, it seems that Dad's training is still very effective.
"The coal fields are far from here?" Open-pit coal mines, naturally, should be called fields. "It's not far, it's just over sixty miles away, and the place we found is so big." "Okay, you go and tell the housekeeper, let him immediately take the money to the local yamen to buy that place, just use the name of our team, and this coal field should be considered this team, then everyone will have a share, and when the money is earned, then return the money to my family."
"Xiao Langjun is merciful." Compassion, not necessarily, my family can't eat a large open-pit coal mine, and if I buy it in the name of this team, it is in the name of Li Er, who dares to come over and talk about it. Yang Heng thought very far, if it was small, he dared to buy it himself, if it was big, then he still didn't want it himself.
With the coal mine, even Li Er's approval has also come down, which means that at this time, there are more than 1,000 labor quotas under my father, which is forty days of labor per person per year, which is good, very good.
Even the housekeeper also bought the place where there was a coal field, he not only bought the coal field, but also bought some nearby places, naturally, there are also nearly 1,000 households in the vicinity, which is also some bitter people, guarding a coal field, growing grain and grain yield, the black coal makes their lives worse and worse, if you want to move away, and there is no place to go, now it's okay, the master said, didn't dig ten catties of coal, just give them a penny, a tael of grain, this, this is a good thing that fell from the sky, Where did you come from such a good master's house, but you have to write a tablet for offering.
Also, not all farmers had to dig coal, and some farmers had their own families to supply horse-drawn carts for them to transport coal near the barracks, and the roads were uneven, and then the timing of the exercise was for the soldiers to level the road, and they had to drill twice a year, and each time the road would be repaired.
Labor is not willing to be used casually, their houses, and some fields, all need these laborers to work.
When the coal has not yet been transported, Yang Heng chose a loess slope, in this place, there are a lot of mountains and rocks, and there are a lot of loess slopes, they used the fastest time to build several caves here, there are bricks, there are tiles, and there are several kilns to burn, so that the output can be guaranteed.
Yang Heng chose some clever ones from the labor, and some honest ones, even if they were the workers on these kilns, forty days a year were considered labor, and they needed to work for free, and at other times they earned wages, and they were better than farming, naturally, their wages Yang Heng would be carefully calculated, not for exploitation, but to let the laborers have no opinions, don't all think about coming to work in the kiln, and don't let no one come, it is to make the people who come happy, and those who don't come are also satisfied, It's hard to grasp.
"Out of the kiln, out of the kiln......" After about the time, the kiln workers shouted, and then, Yang Heng broke the sealing mud of the kiln pit, which is considered to be the opening of the kiln, and then wait for the heat inside to dissipate, when they can bear to help others, there are kiln workers who can't wait to rush in.
"Xiao Langjun, we burned out." After a while, a potter came out dejectedly, holding a few strange-shaped bricks in his hands, but they were only sticky, and they were just not burned through.
"Very good, this is the first kiln with no experience, and with experience in the future, you can make very good red bricks and red tiles." Yang Heng took it and threw it to the ground, and everyone could see that this brick was still usable, but the color was not right, so they were also happy.
"Now, I announce the official start of the task of building a house, to build several houses at the same time, do not appear nest work, there is also the phenomenon of lost work, and your kiln, to burn the bricks and tiles in time, this is the reason why I built so many kilns for Lu, especially pay attention to the tile, that must be burned, that is the matter of whether the house leaks rain, and red bricks, now almost the same use, does not affect the service life of the building." Natural bricks are used the same, and the earth walls can be used for hundreds of years, not to mention the brick houses, but the bricks are poor, as long as the powder can be used.
