Chapter 380: Mining and Enlightenment

Liu Di and other military households in border towns did not leave their hometowns again.

As a result, many border residents began to receive training.

In fact, because of the payment of peace and tribute, the border troubles of the Wanli Dynasty have been greatly reduced, so many border people no longer know the sword soldiers, especially the younger generation, and most of them only know how to do business with the Mongolian people.

Now, the imperial court has begun to train them, which can be regarded as avoiding the decline in armaments caused by peacetime.

While compiling and training the border people, Zheng Luo also began to send people to contact the three ladies in Mongolia to open mines and make profits.

Considering that she was getting old and needed to use money to stabilize her prestige in Mongolia, the third lady agreed to partner with the Ming court to open mines for profit.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun ordered Xu Zhenyun, the Taifu Temple, to go to naturalization and prepare for the opening of the coal mine as the right attendant of the Ministry of Commerce and the right imperial historian of the capital.

Zhu Yijun specially named the coal mine to be opened in the holy decree Huangming Naturalized Coal Industry.

The coal mine was funded by the Ming Dynasty, and the Mongolian nobles such as Sanniangzi accounted for a part of the dry shares on the grounds that they guarded the place for the imperial court.

As for where the coal mines to be mined, they were naturally explored by the technical craftsmen sent by the Ming Dynasty.

Daming's coal mining technology was the most advanced in this era.

According to historical records, at that time, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty had been able to distinguish whether there was high-quality coal in the place from the soil surface, and also knew that the use of gas gas without the principle of air weight to eliminate gas, and even the "Compendium of Materia Medica" painted the scene of the Ming people lighting the lamp in the cave to mine coal, which undoubtedly also shows that the Ming people have been able to eliminate gas, but also can mine coal with open fire, which is much more advanced than Europe that can only mine coal in the dark at that time.

No further ado.

In the end, the Ming court and the Mongolian nobles such as Sanniangzi decided to mine a large coal mine found near the city of Guihua, and also built a road from Guihua to Datong, which was specifically responsible for the rudeness of Xu Zhenyun and Sanniangzi Aiko, officials sent by the imperial court.

As a result, Xu Zhenyun recruited a large number of impoverished Mongolian herdsmen, and under the leadership of Ming officials, they went into the mining area to mine and build roads, so that these Mongolian herdsmen no longer relied only on herding to live.

this day.

The weather was just right.

When the third lady came to inspect the mining area, she saw that many Mongolian herdsmen were already working in the mining area, and also because she saw many herdsmen buying a lot of tea, salt, cotton cloth, salted fish, jewelry and other things in the shops opened by the Ming people who received silver dollars in this area, so she asked Xu Zhenyun: "Xu Butang, can these charcoal really be sold for a good price?"

"Madame, don't worry, the price of coal in Kannai has been rising now, so the mined coal will not be sold."

Xu Zhenyun replied.

Because the third lady was named a loyal and obedient lady by the Ming Dynasty after I answered and paid tribute, Xu Zhenyun called the third lady his wife.

"If you want to come to the court, you won't lie to us."

"After all, the money is from the imperial court, and we are just people."

"And the Great Tomorrow is not so stupid, the silver dollars of the white flowers are used to turn into ore in vain, it seems that the Han people in Guannai have indeed become more and more rich under the governance of the Son of Heaven, otherwise, the price of charcoal will not keep rising."

The third lady smiled at this time and said, "This is very good! I can also make people earn money from mining."

Speaking of this, the third lady said, "However, the price of these goods in the customs is really getting cheaper and cheaper, especially the cotton cloth, I took a closer look, and the wages received by the Mongolian people working in this mining area were actually exchanged for a lot more cotton cloth than before."

"Presumably this is also due to the good governance of the Son of Heaven?"

The third lady asked Xu Zhenyun.

Xu Zhenyun said with a smile: "Madame is right, the country is prosperous, Ming Jun is in power, so Li Min is getting richer and richer, and after Li Min is rich, he will promote the department store to sell well, so that Baiji can also have the opportunity to improve, in Jiangnan, there are skilled workers who can spin dozens of spindles of yarn at the same time, so this cotton cloth is naturally cheap, and the same is true for others."

"And in this, the most important thing is to get the people rich, so that the people can make more department stores flow into the homes of ordinary people."

"This is the victory of Huimin and Benevolent Government!"

"No wonder

The Son of Heaven will now open mines for the benefit of my people."

"I hope that the imperial court can continue to make the world prosperous in this way, so that my Mongolian people can always make money through mining, and then know etiquette and morality, no longer plunder, no longer Han Yi discord."

"As for the so-called non-rituals that they are inferior to Han, it is nothing, and it is understandable that the people of Wanghua are more noble, and those who have not yet learned the rites should have done these tiring work; Otherwise, if it is treated the same as the Han people, then how can we, the nobles who were enshrined by the Son of Heaven, be qualified to be honorable people among the Mongolian people? It's not because we nobles know more about etiquette that it's expensive."

The third lady said with a smile.

Xu Zhenyun followed and nodded: "It would be nice if everyone understood like Madame."

A large number of poor Mongolian herdsmen have improved their lives a lot because they have worked in the mining areas or participated in the construction of the road from Datong to Naturalization, and they no longer have the desire to be Koubian.

Therefore, when autumn came and the weather turned cooler, when the Fried Flower Xiaoju tribe was ready to go to Kou to plunder the Ming Dynasty, they found that there were not many Mongolian people who were willing to enter the customs with them to loot.

"What's going on?"

"Bu Jisu, didn't you ask you to take all your tribe and go south together to teach him a lesson to Mingguo?"

"Why are you so?!"

At this time, when he saw a Mongolian tribal leader Bu Jisu appear with only thirty horses, he frowned and asked about Bu Jisu.

Bu Jisu said with a dark expression: "Don't mention it, those small tribes under me have all gone to the Naturalized Three Ladies to transport coal and pick up coal, and few of them are willing to go to Koubian with me, only these people in my own family are willing."

After hearing this, the frown of the fried flowers furrowed even tighter: "Coal transportation and coal mining?"

"Don't you know, Sanniangzi has a big coal mine opened by the Ming Kingdom, and there are already many Mongolian people who are begging for a living there, and the horses and sheep are handed over to children and women!"

Bu Jisu replied.

Fried flowers clenched her teeth for a moment: "What kind of words is this! The Mengyuan people of my immortal life have always been either grazing or looting, how can there be any reason to work for the Han people!"

"Stir-fried flowers! When to dispatch, didn't it mean that it was good to let the Ming Kingdom know what true dignity and humility were, and to teach the Han people a lesson?"

The rabbit also rode over at this time, and because he saw that there were not many people around him, he asked.

Fried flowers told the rabbit about the situation.

After hearing this, the rabbit immediately turned cold: "In this way, we can really only take him captive, and when we see the border army of the Ming Kingdom, we must be careful."

As he spoke, he pulled out his knife and said, "But even so, we should kill a few more Han people to teach Ming Guo a lesson, and let them know that the descendants of our golden family are not something they can respect or humble!"

[In view of the general environment,

"That's right!"

"No matter how you say it, it has always been me Meng Yuan who bullied his Han people, and the Han people are cowardly and will only compete with the land, and now, I should still let him know that only the brave and martial Mongolian people blessed by my immortal heaven are more noble than other Han people, not that they are more noble than us!"

After the fried flowers also echoed the words, they also drew their swords and rode their horses south.

The rabbit and the rabbit followed, and the fried flowers, the rabbit, and the rabbit and the rabbit appeared outside the side wall with dozens of horses, and the wolf smoke ignited.

Seeing this, Fried Flower was shocked, and couldn't help but look at the rabbit: "The Ming army reacted so quickly?"

Because the Ming Dynasty began to build a large number of lookout stations at the beginning of last year, it strengthened communications.

Therefore, a quarter of an hour before this, the Jinyi guard who was in charge of reporting the news on the border town of Datong had already seen the figure of the prisoner waiting for fried flowers with binoculars, and shouted: "Let go of wolf smoke! Send a flag and tell the Guantai behind that there are about 500 horsemen attacking!"

And the Jinyi guards stationed on the platform behind them didn't take long to know the information through the flag, and began to pass it on to the outside, so that the governor of Datong and other officials and generals knew about the enemy's attack and the specific location before they entered the customs.
