Chapter Twenty-Nine: There is coal in the black mud ditch, and a visit to the mask
About five kilometers of travel, the official road on both sides is a hundred meters high mountains, there are not many trees on the mountain, Xu is the people of this era are mainly to burn firewood, and there is no Arbor Day, the soldiers are in chaos, although it is spring, there is no spring on the mountain, far less than the mountains and forests that the high-speed rail passes through in later generations, the trees are dense.
Looking through the window at the mountain forest, there are some steep cliffs, protruding from the black patch, and then there is no vegetation below, I don't know why.
When he passed a corner, he wanted to continue moving forward, but Pan Lifu came over on a horse, beckoned to Xi Wenshi, and said: "Xigongzi, you can have a glimpse of the scenery of Linzhou on the mountain in front, which was destroyed in the war due to the war and has not been repaired. The Qi River goes around the city, we can climb the mountain and look at it, and see if the West Gongzi thinks it is okay? ”
Xi Wenshi said okay, and arranged for everyone to stop and rest.
Sivenstone pulled the truck aside. Turned around and asked Guo Xiaoqing: "Are you staying in the car, or are you going up the mountain together?" ”
Zhou E pulled Guo Xiaoqing on the side, Xi Wenshi didn't know why, Guo Xiaoqing said: "We won't go, I remember that there is a village around here, let's get off the car and move." ”
Xi Wenshi opened the car door, Zhou E squirmed and didn't want to get out of the car, Xi Wenshi asked why. Guo Xiaoqing said: "Don't ask so much about your daughter's family, don't look at her, it's embarrassing." ”
Guo Xiaoqing got out of the car and pulled the assiwen stone to the side and said, "My daughter's family has a menstrual matter, and you don't understand it." ”
I see, how many boxes of aunt towels are there in the carriage? said to Guo Xiaoqing that you wait, and then went to the back compartment to prepare to move a box to the back seat of the cab and put it, there happened to be a few boxes of paper towels next to it, and also took a box, and took it to the cab, opened it, took a pack of aunt towels and paper towels and handed it to Guo Xiaoqing, and said: "You take her to change it, there are steps for use on it, you should understand it." ”
Guo Xiaoqing's face flushed, and he beat Xi Wenshi, then took it and ran to Zhou E's side, whispering something. Then the two girls blushed, glanced at Xi Wenshi and turned away.
After a while, the sergeant came over with the land guards of the nearby village.
Na Dibao was about fifty years old, his face was dark and weathered, wrinkles were piled up on his forehead like a knife carving, his hair was not combed much, his clothes were patched, and his legs and feet were not dexterous, Pan Lifu asked, "Are you the land protector in this village?" ”
The local security is estimated to have also experienced a big scene, and the deacon replied: "Little Zhao Er, it is the land security of this black mud ditch that served in the army earlier, and then returned to the village to work after being injured and disabled. ”
"Well, this is the eldest prince of the Han Kingdom, and the uncle of Yecheng Guo Jiedu's envoy, Xi Gongzi, if you have something to ask you, you can tell the truth."
"Yes."
Liu Chengxun looked at Xi Wenshi and said, "Master Xi, if you see any requirements, just arrange it." ”
Xi Wenshi replied: "Okay, the eldest prince. Then he said to Zhao Er: "Zhao Er, there is a good mountain road near here to climb to the top of the mountain, can you see the whole picture of Linzhou City?" ”
"Qi Qi Xi Gongzi, there is a sheep intestine trail to climb this Wuyan Mountain, you can see the city of Linzhou at first, if you want to see more clearly, you need to go to the Guling Mountain five miles ahead."
"You can arrange for someone to take me up the mountain, it will be your benefit."
"Don't dare, it should, Xiao Ke will take the son up the mountain."
After speaking, Zhao Er didn't say much, leading the way in front of his head, although his legs and feet were inconvenient, but after entering the mountain, it was much neater than on flat ground.
It is said that it is a sheep intestine trail, it is really a sheep intestine trail, barely able to see clearly a trace of the locals often going up and down the mountain, there is no stone paving, almost the same as the kind of undeveloped route that was climbed outdoors in later generations, fortunately, there are trees on both sides of this trail that can be pulled by force, and the group stumbled to the top of the mountain.
A cool breeze blew, and the sweat accumulated on his back swept away. Only then did the arganite see why the protruding rock and the bottom were black, and it felt like coal. It's a treasure.
Later, when the Western aragonite went to Anyang (that is, the ancient Yecheng) to explore, when checking the information, it showed that there was a coal mine in Anyang, and it was unthinkable that it was still exposed in this era, which was much more convenient for mining.
Said to Zhao Er: "What is this black?" Why isn't there any grass on it? ”
"Baoxi Gongzi, we don't know about this black, the local call it black mud, it can be burned, but the smoke is too big, it's useless, and our village is called black mud ditch because of this."
Looking at the northwest direction, Linzhou City can see a rough outline, a flat land in the mountains, like a fan embedded in the mountains in the south, and then towards the north fan-shaped branch, there are rolling hills, a river passes through the city, but it is a very good place to build a holy city.
Looking at it like this, for the planning of the holy city, Xi Wenshi had a general idea in his heart: to build the holy city according to the mountains in the south, to build a place for the disciples of the three sects and four great avenues to cultivate on the mountains in the south, and to transform the mountains into scenic spots for future generations.
The city of Linzhou was destroyed by the war, the population in the city is not large, and the hilly area is mostly cultivated, and there are very few fields reclaimed, most of which are cultivated along the river on the flat land near the city, and there is not much wasteland. On the contrary, it is possible to reclaim more ownerless fields in a large area to house the families of the soldiers, and the planning of large plantation parks seems to appear in front of the eyes of the western aragonite, and the slopes of the mountains can be planted with high-yield crops such as cassava and sweet potatoes.
In the vicinity of Heinigou, the coal mines are exposed, and it is also close to Linzhou City, but an industrial park can be planned to use coal as a link to extensively smelt iron ore and local mineral resources in Yecheng. Yecheng also has a large amount of limestone, and the slag from smelting iron ore and aluminum ore can be reused to produce high-hardness cement.
Now, to build houses to house the families of the soldiers, Western aragonite can use cement and steel bars to build multi-storey houses like later generations, and it can also speed up the progress.
With a bottom in his heart, Xi Wenshi was happy to let Zhao Er take them down the mountain.
I don't know if the development of real estate in Linzhou can circle the money of the powerful people of these countries?
Xi Wenshi said to Liu Chengxun: "The eldest prince, do you have any savings?" Do you want to partner with me to make a big business? ”
Liu Chengxun said happily: "What kind of big business? In the past two years, I have received a lot of money by the grace of my father. ”
"Let's build a house in Linzhou and sell it, are you interested?"
"Okay, you can do whatever you say, just tell me how much money you need to invest."
Hey, the whole person who is in charge of the shopkeeper, or doesn't know what money is, has reduced his interest in doing business a lot.
After descending the mountain, I rested in Heinigou and saw that the houses in Heinigou were different from the villages that Xiwenshi had passed through before, and many of the houses were newly built adobe houses.
He asked Zhao Er with great interest: "Who built these houses?" ”
"This, Zhao Binbin from our village took the villagers to build it together, poured the soil into a fixed wooden frame, and beat it up with gravity, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. The tiles on the roof were also fired by Zhao Binbin. Zhao Er said proudly.
"Where is this Zhao Binbin?"
"He organized the villagers to dig caves in the mountains behind the village to feed the pigs."
It seems that this person called Zhao Binbin is a versatile person, Xi Wenshi learned from Zhao Er that Zhao Bin, like Zhao Er, was in the army earlier.
Zhao Binbin, nearly 40 years old, fought with the Khitans in Daizhou for more than 10 years, and became a captain, and later because of the frequent shortage of grain and grass in the army, he discussed with Zhao Jianxia and Zhao Sanguo, the generals of the same township in Daizhou, and let Zhao Binbin return to the village to supervise the grain and grass for military needs. Zhao Binbin was able to return to his hometown in the last year, leading the villagers to rebuild houses in Heinigou, open up wasteland and farm, and he is a good hand in all aspects, and it is said that he has been appreciated by the elders of the Mo family, but the swallowed force pill is too mixed, either a hoe or a pig, so it was not accepted by the Mo family.
Xi Wenshi asked Zhao Er to take Xi Wenshi to the back mountain, thinking about seeing this versatile Zhao Binbin, now is the time to employ people, if you can, you can use it greatly.
After a while, we arrived at the back mountain of Heinigou Village, where more than a dozen elderly villagers were digging caves more than one person high, and more than a dozen of them had been dug with a depth of about three meters. The front of the cave has been leveled and fenced.
Zhao Er stepped forward and shouted, "Zhao Binbin, Zhao Binbin." ”
One of the villagers who was digging a hole came out and said, "It turned out to be Lizheng, Zhao Binbin went to the next village to buy wine and drink." ”
Zhao Er said apologetically: "This Zhao Binbin is good at everything, he just likes to drink, Xi Gongzi, I'm really sorry." ”
"It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future, let's come to him next time."
After speaking, he returned to the side of the big truck, gathered everyone, and marched towards Linzhou City.
