Chapter XXVII. Mining for the Resettlement of Displaced People

During the time when Zhao Gou was recovering his health, displaced people poured into the county seat of Dongming from all directions, and the city was already overcrowded, and the price of grain doubled.

The county magistrate of Dongming County said to Zhao Gou: "Your Highness, if this continues, we can't continue to accept the displaced people, if this continues, the local people will be occupied by the displaced people, and I, the parent official, will be embarrassed." ”

Zhao Gou said: "This king knows. You send out an announcement and ask the leader of the homeless people to come to my Chinese army tent. ”

These displaced people have left their homes because they are hungry, and they must solve their work problems, which is a matter of productivity.

Quickly enter the mall and find a way to solve the employment of displaced people.

Suddenly, I saw a map of minerals that required 30,000 points to redeem.

Zhao Gou had an idea, and first said that if he had this map, he would look for mineral deposits nearby that could be mined, wouldn't it solve the employment problem of the displaced people?

Lao Tzu was abused by the black whirlwind and half to death, and only earned 30,000 points, which were all redeemed, but it was bloody.

But for the sake of the people of the world, what is the hardship to endure?

Zhao Gou immediately exchanged the mineral deposit map.

Bite! Remind the host that you still have less than 100 points, please increase your points in time.

Sure enough, after the points were exchanged for the mine map, the system immediately came to remind of the lack of inventory.

But Zhao Gou did not regret it at all.

When I opened the map, I saw that there was an open-pit coal mine for mining in the wilderness sixty miles east of Dongming County.

At this time, the leaders of the displaced people all came to the big tent of the Chinese army, knelt down under Zhao Gou's feet, and shouted long live.

Zhao said: "Who of you knows the current coal market? ”

One of the leaders of the displaced people said: "When the weather is cold and winter, the supply of coal cannot keep up, and now it is ten catties of charcoal and a cart of firewood, which is very expensive, and it is not that the rich and noble cannot afford to burn it." ”

Zhao said: "Do any of you know how to mine coal?" ”

Immediately, there was a man from Mangdang Mountain: "The villain used to mine coal, knew about coal mining, and even if he sold coal, he knew some people." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Since you know how to mine coal, it is not difficult to do. You go and contact more homeless people, and in three days you will be inspected by the king in front of the big tent of the Chinese army, and then the forbidden army will escort you to the coal mining field. As soon as the start-up capital should be paid, I will let the rich families in Dongming County pay for it, and you don't need to operate the machines and tools. You only need to bring people, even your own family. I want you to get the coal to the market this month. ”

A humane: "Your Highness, can you really find coal?" ”

Zhao said: "Don't doubt it, as long as you carry it out, the people I want will come and place you." In the future, everyone will earn money and serve the country together. ”

All the people shouted long live, and they all went out to gather their fellow villagers.

Han Shizhong's face was very unhappy, and he said: "Your Highness, this project is not small, and it is naturally good if it is really feasible, but now that the ground is freezing badly in winter, it is not so simple to dig." Besides, where is the coal, Your Highness doesn't know, right? ”

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "Han Jun, it's all in the king's mind, you wait to see a good show." Wouldn't this king want to build the largest coal industry base in the Great Song Dynasty, solve the employment of displaced people, and enrich our military supplies at the same time. ”

Han Shizhong said: "Your Highness, you are wise and martial, you are unexpected, you are in front and you are in the back, it is really unpredictable." ”

Zhao Gou sighed and laughed: "Han Jun, you seem to have learned a little bit of the ability to pat on the back?" ”

Han Shizhong blushed with shame, Ge Ling laughed beside him, and all the leaders of the forbidden army also laughed.

Zhao Gou asked Han Shizhong to contact the wealthy households in Dongming County, but the wealthy families did not believe that there were coal deposits near the local area, so they did not dare to pay money, I am afraid that it was a fraud by the military in order to enrich the military quartermasters.

Zhao Gou gave them a loan note, and used the royal identity as a guarantee before they dared to take out the money and hand it over to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou recruited a few skilled craftsmen and geography masters from Dongming County, reluctantly made a team, and encouraged them.

Three days later, the displaced people gathered, there were tens of thousands of people, all of them in ragged clothes, yellow faces and thin muscles, and they were eager to wait for them. After Zhao Gou finished training them immediately, he arranged for the forbidden army, took them to the designated place, planned the houses according to the households, and set up camps. The craftsmen, the miners, and the leaders of the homeless people planned for a few days, and within a few days the construction began.

Half a month later, with the sound of a cannon, the whole earth shook.

"Out of coal!"

"It's really coal!"

"Hurry up and report to His Royal Highness King Kang, the coal is out! This piece of coal is sent to His Royal Highness King Kang, our master! ”

"What! Coal out so soon? ”

"Oh my God! God bless His Royal Highness King Kang! It's really out of coal! We are saved! ”
