Lian Rongrong gritted her teeth and took a sip, looking at Qiao Wanshi's eyes as if she was poisoned.

She has been looking for Qiao Wanshi for so many days, wanting to breathe a sigh for herself, but she never got news of Qiao Wanshi.

But I didn't expect to run into it today.

However, she is no longer the daughter of the Tianyun Prefect who covers the sky with one hand, she has already taken the turn of being a prisoner.

But the woman stood there richly dressed.

There are even two officials beside her!

Could it be that this is the new prefect who came to Yunjin City to take office?

Why was that woman sitting with the new prefect?

It just so happens that Wang Yiyan and Huang Xu are both positive three products, and even Rong Rong's misunderstanding is just right.

Lian Rongrong was driven by the yacha and had to continue walking, but she kept turning around, staring at Qiao Wanshi.

It's just a pity that her stare is useless.

In this life, she doesn't want to know who she offended, and because of whom she ended up with a full family!

Qiao Wanshi and the others rested for a while and continued on the road, and it didn't take long for them to enter Yunjin City.

The newly appointed prefect Sun Yan received the news and immediately went out of the city to greet him.

The prefect is the third product, Wang Yiyan, Huang Xu, and Qiao Wanshi's official ranks are all the third product, but the three products are also different from the three products.

Wang Yiyan and Huang Xu went out of the palace with the order of the saint this time to assist Qiao Wanshi in digging the coal mine, and Sun Yan naturally wanted to clean the water and splash the street, sound the gong to open the road, and go out of the city to greet him.

Outside the city, Qiao Wanshi and others got off the horse, got off the car, and exchanged a few words of greeting with Sun Yan, all of which were official words.

When they entered the city together, Sun Yan and Qiao Wanshi, who was walking beside him, didn't have to be so polite.

"Wanshi, the winter wheat is growing very well, and I went to see it when I came here and applied some fertilizer with my own hands. Originally, I wanted to bring some here, but I was afraid that I would not be able to raise them if I was not careful, and you also know that a wheat plant may be dozens of good seeds in the coming year. Sun Yan whispered.

At this time, even a grain of wheat is extremely precious.

Brought all the way from Linxian County to Yunjin City, it may not be able to survive, and it is easy for people to leave their hometowns and adapt to the soil and water.

"Lord Sun, when the wheat is harvested next year, you ask the Holy Lord for it, and the Holy Lord will definitely give you some wheat seeds, and this Tianyun Mansion will also have to introduce some good seeds, right?" Qiao Wanshi said.

Qiao Wanshi's words made Sun Yan very happy to hear it.

"Then I'll lend you good words." Sun Yandao.

"Lord Sun, since we have come to Yunjin City, why don't we talk about this mining?" Qiao Wanshi took the initiative.

The letter she wrote to Sun Yan made Sun Yan decide to leave Linxian County, but Sun Yan still didn't know what was going on.

"You say." Sun Yan immediately spoke.

Qiao Wanshi nodded, "The mining I am talking about is coal mining, which you can also understand as a kind of charcoal, which can be burned and then used for cooking and heating. This coal is buried deep in the ground, like the soil and stones in the ground, and after being mined, it can be burned by striking into small pieces. ”

Qiao Wanshi's statement surprised Sun Yan.

Isn't this like a tree, which can be cut into pieces and burned?

"How many?" Sun Yan asked again.

Qiao Wanshi smiled, "There is a large area of the entire Tianyun Mansion from the north to the west to the south. ”

At this moment, Sun Yan was really stunned.

Half of Tianyun Mansion, what a big place it must be!

"How deep can it be?" Sun Yan asked again.

He felt that no matter how Qiao Wanshi answered, his heart probably couldn't bear it.

Qiao Wanshi shrugged, "I really don't know this, I only know that Yunjin City is dozens of miles to the west, and the coal layer there is the shallowest there, buried about two zhang underground, and how deep it is, you can only know after mining." ”

This discussion shocked Sun Yan and convinced him that what Qiao Wanshi said was indeed true, and it could indeed benefit the entire people of Jinzhao.

It's not that I didn't trust Qiao Wanshi before, but this time my feelings are more intuitive.

"So what can I do?" Sun Yan asked.

Qiao Wanshi said, "As long as you are a good prefect, you can." The previous Tianyun Prefect, I don't know if you have heard of it? ”

Sun Yan nodded, "Naturally, I have heard of it." ”

Speaking of which, Sun Yan also understood that Qiao Wanshi wanted him to escort him.

Come to think of it, with people like Lian Lian, it is impossible for Qiao Wanshi to successfully mine coal.

If the mineral is taken away by Lian Qinglian, regardless of whether the silver earned will fall into the state treasury or into whose private treasury it is, the price of this coal will definitely not be low.

What is buried in the ground can be used when it is dug up, and the cost is not high.

Therefore, only when Qiao Wanshi cooperates with Shengshang, can this coal truly benefit the people.

"This official should be for the people of the world, thank you to the county lord of Yifeng." Sun Yan said.

He sincerely thanked him, and at the same time promised, "With this official in this Tianyun Mansion, the county lord will only be bold in mining in the future, and this official will never let anyone obstruct the mining work of the coal mine." ”

Qiao Wanshi and his entourage entered the mansion with Sun Yan to rest for a while, and after lunch, they set off again, heading to a place eighty miles west of Yunjin City.

Here is a hole dug by Qiao Wanshi last time when she came to find a coal mine, and the coal seam here is the shallowest and the best to mine.

Jo decided to start with the best place to mine.

At this time, there were no large machinery, and it was all mined by manpower.

And it is easy to collapse below the ground, so you can only use the stupidest methods.

After a few people set up a temporary tent to discuss a solution, the people they brought began to do things, and even Wang Yiyan and Huang Xu personally took the shovel and went into battle.

This was originally a wasteland, and the ground was a little hard, but fortunately, it was all dirt, so it wasn't too difficult to dig up.

It's just that more than 30 people dug together until dark, and only dug about 200 square meters of ground, digging down more than a zhang deep.

At this time, it can be said that this side is already a very deep giant pit.

Qiao Wanshi looked at the sky and pursed her lips slightly, "Lord Wang, Lord Huang, why don't you come up first to rest and have dinner, and we will continue digging tomorrow." ”

"It's okay, dig a little longer." Wang Yiyan shouted.

Where did the two civil officials usually do such work?

After digging the ground for an afternoon, I am afraid that my hands will be soaked.

Qiao Wanshi was still waiting on it, and Wang Yiyan said again, "Let's dig on the first day today, although it only started in the afternoon, but there is no coal, it's a pity after all, isn't it?" ”

"Then let's concentrate on it, don't be so scattered." Qiao Wanshi shouted.

More than 30 people were scattered around, and the excavation area was large, and if they wanted to dig all the coal seams, they might not be able to dig until late at night, and after dark, they would not be able to see anything.

It can be gathered faster, as long as you can see the coal.
