The speed of Qingzhuang's recruitment was far beyond everyone's expectations, and it was not a direct order from the imperial court to call for conscription.

In less than three days, it has far exceeded the number of people Wang Shu promised to recruit at the beginning, but for the number of young and strong, Wang Siqi had already made plans before Wang Yihuan came, that is, the more the better.

120,000 is not too much, 35000 is not too little.

"Move! We want as many people as there are. The newly recruited young and strong people should not be in a hurry to let them go to the mine, first familiarize themselves with the mining process, and find out the people to build temporary shelters first, and there must be no accidents! ”

Let's talk again, Wang Siqi said tirelessly to Wang Yihuan on the side.

Let Wang Yihuan take care of this place, and there will be more convenient conditions.

"Lord Wang.. If it really costs 10,000 or 20,000 people, the expenditure on this coal mine in just one month is not a small number, including food! I'm worried.."

"Don't worry!"

Wang Siqi suddenly raised his hand, pointed to the mountains in the distance and said: "These places are ours, and there is black gold buried in the ground here, as long as I can dig them out of the ground, I have a way to sell them all one by one!" ”

In this era when mining mainly relies on manpower.

The number of hands represents the output of coal, and the output of charcoal is no longer black in Wang Siqi's eyes, but naked silver-white, shining with the luster of wealth.

Although, most of them belong to Zhu Di.

belongs to the helmsman of the Ming Dynasty. But what's wrong with that? Because of Zhu Di, there is this business, Wang Siqi will not be naïve to think that he discovered this carboniferous mine, and everything here will belong to him.

Not to mention now, there has never been such a good thing in this land for hundreds of years to come.

"So what you have to do now is to coordinate the manpower, build enough coal warehouses, and the coal yard should also be sprinkled with water in time to prevent ignition, I don't want the silver to catch fire first." Hearing Wang Siqi's instructions, Wang Yihuan hurriedly nodded.

Before this, Wang Yihuan specially found an old craftsman with experience in mining carboniferous ore to humbly ask for advice, and also knew a lot about some hidden dangers that may exist in the mining process, and then Wang Siqi specially explained again and again, if there will be problems, Wang Yihuan feels that he should find a piece of coal and hit his head to death.

"Lord Wang.. Leave this matter to me with confidence, there will be no problems on the side of the carboniferous mine... There will be no mistake at all, but I am worried that the current production of charcoal may be relatively low because these young and strong men are not very skilled, but after a while..."

"Are you trying to say if you want to mine more slowly?"

"Yes.."

"No, the reserves of this coal mountain are far beyond your imagination, and the completion of mining is not something that you and my generation can imagine..."

Others don't know the reserves of this coal mine under their feet, can Wang Siqi still not know?

What if there were more people digging at the same time? Without the blessing of modern electrical equipment in later generations, even Wang Siqi did not believe that it would take more than 100 years to mine such a coal mine until it was exhausted by relying on manpower.

....

Wang Siqi didn't stay in Jurong for too long, so he got back into the carriage driven by Wu De and returned to the capital, but this time the destination was no longer Baoyuan Bureau but returned to Qingyuan Bofu.

Just got out of the carriage, Wang Siqi stood outside the mansion gate.

Suddenly a little stunned, he looked at Wu De on the side coldly and said, "Have we not had a good meal with my father for a long time?" ”

When Wu De heard this, he was also stunned.

"Since the young master became an official, he has indeed been a lot busier than before... Although I can accompany my uncle and wife to eat together from time to time on weekdays, it's just..."

"Once in a long time, huh?"

"Hmm.."

"Let's go! Change places .."

After hearing Wu De's affirmative answer, Wang Siqi returned to the car without the slightest hesitation, looked at Wu De and continued: "Today, Young Master Ben will cook in person and show his hand!" ”

"Now, let's go to the street and buy some meat and vegetables and come back."

Wu De was a little surprised, and hurriedly said, "Young Master, the gentleman is far away from cooking!" How can you let the young master cook by himself! ”

"Let this sentence die! Just follow Master Ben! ”

Life needs a mood, being able to cook a fragrant meal by yourself, and sit at the same table with your family to eat together, which is a very comfortable mood in Wang Siqi's opinion.

Instead of paralyzing his two waists in the Tibetan Flower Pavilion.

....

The smoke curled, and the people under the maid ring in Qingyuan Bofu were all crowded outside the room without exception, if nothing else, because it was actually the young master of Qingyuan Bofu who was cooking today, that is, Wang Siqi.

The young master cooks..

Just these four words are uttered, and there is no doubt that they have a strong and colorful legendary meaning.

After all, on weekdays, the young master doesn't even go home very often, let alone take the initiative to come back with a bunch of meat and vegetables like today, and get into the room.

He also drove out the cook of the original mansion room.

The unknown cook almost thought that he was going to be laid off, and finally heard Wu De say that it was just a temporary idea of his young master, and he wanted to cook a meal for his uncle and wife at home, and then knocked on the door of the room again and said that he could help.

was put in by Wang Siqi, who couldn't figure out all kinds of kitchen utensils in the Ming room and couldn't burn the fire.

....

Cook... Different eras are simply not the same thing.

Wang Siqi looked at the somewhat messy room that was tossed by himself, couldn't help but sigh and looked at the cook on the side and said, "Let's eat hot pot today!" ”

"Hot pot?"

"Yes!"

It's not that the chef doesn't know about hot pot...

Mainly... With such a big battle, it turned out that I wanted to eat shabu mutton...

....

At the bottom of the boiling pot, the hand-sliced mutton was constantly tumbling up and down, and a pair of chopsticks rescued it from the dire situation, and then wrapped in a thick sesame sauce and sent to the mouth.

Wang Siqi, who nodded with satisfaction, looked at Wang You on the side and said, "Eat quickly!" This is what your son and I cooked and cooked today..."

Wang You said secretly: This thing... Used?

It's not good to directly refute his son's face, Wang You can only relieve the embarrassment with a smile, look at the lady on the side and say, "Come on!" Try our son's craft... After so many years, it's the first time I've eaten the food my son cooked for my father! I didn't expect it.. I, Wang You, also have such blessings. ”

"I just don't know when I will be able to hold my grandson, and then I will enjoy the joy of family." As he spoke, his eyes kept drifting towards Wang Siqi's side.
