Hello proprietor!" Wang Goudan clapped his hands and saluted Tang respectfully.
Regardless of Tang Ping's official position, the people in Shanghe Village were still used to calling Tang Ping the proprietor.
"What's going on?" Tang Ping asked, now the life in Shanghe Village can be said to be no worse than that of the rich families in Chang'an, so it is difficult to see the villagers still have sad faces.
"If you go back to the proprietor, it is...... It's because we don't have enough firewood at home."
As soon as he said this, Tang Ping understood that now there is a ball game every day, and the people here in Shanghe Village will make a lot of food to sell.
The fish and crabs caught in the river, the potatoes in the field, and the rabbits up the mountain are all done anyway, as long as they are delivered to the stadium, someone will pay for them.
Of course, people from other places also come to sell these things, but after all, Shanghe Village is the closest, and the things are fresh and hot, so naturally they are the best to sell.
On weekdays, the villagers cook their own food, that is, it is enough to cut some firewood on the mountain behind, but now they have to eat so much more every day, and a lot of trees in the mountain behind them have been cut down.
If you continue like this, you can only continue to cut down the mountain, which is not only more and more inconvenient, but also cuts down more trees, which is also a big problem for the environment.
Tang Ping touched the dog's head: "Go and tell everyone, sell the food that has been prepared, and then postpone it for two days to sell food again, and the proprietor will make you something that can be burned in the next two days."
"Yes, proprietor!" Now Tang Ping's words are in Shanghe Village, which is better than the holy decree, he said that if he delays for two days, he can make more money, and the villagers will do the same.
It also allows those people who come from all over the neighborhood to sell food to make some money.
I didn't want the hay on the dog's ground, and I ran to the village to convey Tang Ping's words to everyone.
Li Yuanji asked curiously, "Can you still make something that can be burned?" Don't you want to use electricity again?"
Tang Ping shrugged his shoulders: "Where did you get so much electricity, this river can ensure that the villagers have a light bulb on."
"And what are you talking about?"
"Do you remember the last case in Tianshui County, Qinzhou, where many people were sent to mine in the end?" Tang Ping asked.
"Naturally, I remember, this can be regarded as a cycle of retribution!"
At that time, those big hands in the mines under Huo Qingshi were all wiped out by Tang Ping, and later these people

They were all packed up and sent to a mine near Chang'an.
"The coal they dug up?" During the Sui and Tang dynasties, coal was mainly used as a fuel for metallurgy and ceramics.
Firewood is mainly used as the main raw material for private use.
"That's right, didn't the third uncle say that the sea students can't do it recently? Why don't you just start this coal business?"
"This coal, it's not easy to burn, is it?" Li Yuanji frowned, he didn't know anything, large pieces of coal are generally not available to farmers, but the coal surface is not easy to burn, which is also the main reason why the use rate of coal by the people is so low.
"Third uncle, what do you think it is?" Tang Ping asked, pointing to the side of the tree.
Li Yuanji looked in the direction he pointed: "A honeycomb, if you are afraid of bees stinging, I will call the guards to dig it for you tomorrow."
"That's no, these little guys are used for pollination in the fields now, and the children in the village also know that they can't be provoked, nothing big will happen, I'm talking about the honeycomb."
"Honeycomb?" Li Yuanji didn't know how to talk about coal, and the nephew turned to the honeycomb with a word.
"Yes, in fact, as long as the coal is made into this honeycomb shape, it is very easy to burn, and it can be equipped with a simple small stove, which is only about ten catties, and it can be carried around. It's no problem to eat directly outside the stadium."
"Really?" Li Yuanji didn't expect to be able to operate like this: "Then what is the business you are talking about?"
"You have someone bring the coal, and I'll ask someone to make it into honeycomb coal, and then sell it with a small stove."
The mines belonged to the state, and the coal dug up was sold to the official kilns or to the metallurgical works that would be supervised.
The only people who can buy coal from it are people like Tang Ping and Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji nodded again and again when he listened, this time just by following Tang Ping in the past few months to do sea food, he made a good profit.
Of course, he didn't keep all this money himself, but gave a lot of it to Li Shimin's inner treasury.
He is an idle prince, as long as he can live a rich life, no matter how much money is used to help the poor, it is not appropriate, so he gave it all to Li Shimin.
It's just that a lot of people were recruited to run the boat at that time, and now that the weather is hot, I was thinking about how to settle those people, but now it's okay, there can be new things for them to do.

Early the next morning, Li Yuanji took Tang Ping to the mine, which was dozens of miles away from Chang'an, not too far.
This is actually a small-scale mine, but the characteristics of Shaanxi coal mines are that the coal seams are nearly horizontal, shallow burial, and good mining conditions.
You don't even have to open a mine, you just go in and see miners digging coal with shovels.
Tang Ping picked up a few pieces and looked at them, but he couldn't tell whether they were good or bad, but he asked someone to transport a car back to Shanghe Village to try it.
The person in charge saw that it was King Zhao with Yin Shanhou, and he was still holding the approval slip of the Ministry of Industry in his hand, so he naturally didn't dare to stay in trouble, so he wrote down the number and let him go.
Anyway, this mine is under the management of the Ministry of Industry, Tang Ping and Duan Lun said that they will keep an account of how much coal they pull, and they will settle the account once a month at that time.
He pulled a cart of coal back to Shanghe Village, but he didn't enter the village, and by the river outside the village, Tang Ping had already found someone to level a piece of land and come out.
At this time, the Wang Tieniu brothers had already set up a small water wheel, and the river water was pumped up and installed in a reservoir.
Then next to the reservoir was a pool for live coal, and after Tang Ping asked someone to pour the coal into it, he smashed it and smashed it into powder.
In fact, in the future, you can also use water or wind power, but now in the experimental stage, you must first look at the color of the coal, so you can go directly to the people.
Seeing that the coal was almost smashed, Tang Ping asked someone to pour mud into it again.
The loess used for honeycomb coal, in this loess high slope, is not too much, according to the ratio of coal and loess ten to two, and then add water.
Soon the slime was mixed together, and Tang Ping asked Wang Tieniu to take out what he had made yesterday.
A cylinder made of iron is about ten centimeters in diameter, and there are about ten iron skewers with the thickness of a finger in the middle.
Li Yuanji saw the novelty, and he didn't want anyone else to come, so he shoveled a shovel of slime and put it into the cylinder.
Then press the lid on the top hard, and there are round holes on the lid corresponding to the iron skewers below, and some slime is squeezed out of the round holes by the iron skewers.
According to what Tang Ping said, he buckled the cylinder to the side with his backhand, and after lifting it up, a black honeycomb coal with more than ten small holes on it was ready.
