Chapter 415: Mine Explosion
"Girl, you have a lot of treasures in your hand. It seems that it will never be able to be taken away. "Po Liu has also read books, and her vision is not ordinarily high.
From the conversation of his daughter and son-in-law, I knew that bituminous coal made anthracite, which was a good thing for the people, and they would not have to endure the cold of winter in the future.
However, when her daughter said this, it may not be realized, after all, it doesn't sound like an easy task.
Otherwise, coal would have been available for a long time, and I haven't seen any powerful people come up with a way to process coal for the second time.
Kapok is also very keen on this, "The third master will go back to the house, and I will find you the book I said." ”
The little couple went back to the house, Kapok asked Chu Huaijin to sit at the tea table for a while and drink a cup of tea, while she went to rummage under the bed.
The third master was worried that she was going to follow, and was stopped by her. The third master followed her, how did she take things out of the space.
Kapok is indeed a wooden box under the bed, which is not too big. She is seven months pregnant, and it is not easy to bend over, anyway, there is no one around, and she is not embarrassed by herself.
Directly in the space mall, I exchanged my points for a book on the method of secondary processing of bituminous coal into anthracite and honeycomb coal.
She didn't have time to read it after the exchange, so she took the book and went to find the third master.
"Oh, it's this one, the third master will take it and read it." Kapok walked up to him and handed the book in his hand.
Chu Huaijin got up and took it, and by the way, helped the princess to the chair and sat down. Only then did he begin to look through the book in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the brighter his eyes became. The methods recorded in the book are very detailed, and they are accompanied by pictures, so that people can understand them at a glance.
"King Mianmian thinks the method in this book is feasible. The king will go to the palace in a while and discuss this matter with the royal brother. You can use Benwang's mine as a test site, and then see if you can make anthracite and honeycomb coal according to the method in the book. After success, Mianmian will be a great meritorious, and the people of the Great Chu Kingdom will benefit from your method, which is a great merit. ”
Kapok has always known that the third master is a person who cares about the people, and as long as it is beneficial to the people, he will try it.
It's good that her husband has the world in mind. He's a real hero.
"The third master will go early and come back early, and wait for you to come back for dinner." Kapok naturally supported him, otherwise he would not have taken out this book to him.
Chu Huaijin responded, he entered the palace to inform the emperor of this, and the emperor was even more excited than him after hearing this, so he simply got down from the dragon chair and hurriedly read the book in his hand.
"I also think the method in the book works. This book was obtained by the royal brother from the third princess. The third princess is really the lucky star of the Great Chu Kingdom. Every time I am more and more happy. The emperor sincerely admired.
Chu Huaijin and Yourongyan, he carefully explained his plan with the imperial brother, as early as on the way to the palace, he had a set of regulations on this matter.
There is no need for the emperor to come up with an idea at all, and entering the palace is nothing more than an informant.
The emperor transferred the ministers of the Ministry of Industry to assist the three princes in making smokeless charcoal.
This matter was put on the agenda, and the miners who dug coal were all found, and on the basis of the original miners, more than a dozen strong men were found.
There is a certain risk in the mining work, and the salary given by Chu Huaijin is not low. Five hundred wen a day, and one or two silver in two days.
One or two pieces of silver, even in this place in the capital, it takes two months to do other coolies.
If you do this for a period of time, you will have silver and two flowers in the New Year, and you will be able to build a new house in the spring of the next year.
Wealth and danger are sought, and these men are not afraid of risks.
Lunch is also served at noon, and there is a half-hour break. Five hours a day.
The mining of coal mines was in full swing, and the miners were divided into two groups, one group was responsible for mining the coal mines. A batch is responsible for the secondary processing of the mined coal mines to make anthracite and honeycomb coal.
Chu Huaijin handed over the book of the anthracite method to the Ministry of Industry, and Master Xu of the Ministry of Industry studied it thoroughly and taught it to the five subordinates below.
Five of his subordinates learned to lead the miners to make anthracite and honeycomb coal.
I thought that the coal digging would always go so smoothly, and the production of anthracite and honeycomb coal was only the last process, and it would be successful.
Unexpectedly, an explosion occurred under the coal mine, killing three miners on the spot.
There were ten miners who went down the mine at that time, and one of them was a captain, and he smelled an apple-like smell in the mine.
He has five or six years of mining experience, and the smell of this smell means that the mine is about to collapse and explode.
The captain hurriedly shouted for everyone to evacuate, and seven of the ten people, including the captain, climbed up from the well.
The remaining three didn't believe what the captain said, and they were absent from work and had no pay. It's been a long day.
This did not kill three people without a mine explosion.
Lord Xu of the Ministry of Industry learned of this and went to the prince's mansion in person.
"There was an accident in the mine, and the mine exploded and killed three miners. Xia Guan came over to let the prince have an idea. Master Xu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. I'm afraid that the prince will convict him of negligence, and the black gauze hat on his head will not be guaranteed!
Chu Huaijin didn't hide anything from the princess, he didn't ask the princess to avoid it.
When Kapok heard that there were people dead in the mine, his heart jumped, and he was not very comfortable, after all, it was three living lives, and it was still a strong laborer in the family, the pillars of the family.
"Mining coal in a mine is a life-threatening job. Otherwise, this king would not have paid 500 wen a day. These miners also knew in advance that they were in danger of dying at any time. The king could compensate the families of the three miners for a large sum of money out of humanitarian consideration. Enough for their families to eat and drink for the rest of their lives. Chu Huaijin said coldly.
He was so sane at all times.
Kapok gave the third master an approving look, you must know that these miners signed a death contract before entering the mine. Knowing the risks, even if you unfortunately die, you can't blame the imperial court.
There is a death contract, even if the family of the deceased goes to the mine to make trouble, they will not be reasonable, and they will be punished by the government for a crime of disturbing public order and thrown into prison.
The third master offered to give a large amount of compensation to the family of the deceased, which can be regarded as conscientious.
"The prince is really kind-hearted, if this is to give a large sum of money to the families of the three miners. It can not only comfort the family of the deceased, but also be a comfort to other miners. There will be no panic in the explosion of this mine. Lord Xu's face was full of respect.
"Without further ado, Lord Xu will go and do this and give the families of the three deceased, five hundred taels per household. This two taels of silver shall be paid by the king. Chu Huaijin commanded coldly.
Lord Xu didn't dare to refute, and secretly sighed in his heart that the prince was rich. I went down to the steward of the king's mansion and received 1,500 taels of silver, and I didn't dare to delay for a moment.
Fifteen hundred taels of snowflake silver, a total of several large boxes of white silver were carried to the mine, and the eyes of the miners who saw it were straight.
I have never seen so much silver in my life, and the panic of the mine explosion before is gone, and there is only white snowflake silver left in my eyes.
