"Phew, what the hell is coal?"

"Black stones, can be burned, I think the Great Law Order is purely to spend money to find happiness!"

"Where are there any black stones, they have been dug up to the ground, and there is nothing!"

In Pinyang, in a ravine, twenty or thirty young and strong young men scolded and complained.

Three days ago, they found this ravine, and instead of looking for it, they dug it with their own hands.

They were all in one place, not too many, but not many, so they opened three patios in a row along the ravine.

There was no rest for three whole days, and twenty people took turns digging in turn.

Now it has fallen to a depth of seven or eight feet, and it is almost necessary to dig out the groundwater, but still no black stone has been dug up.

"No, no, no, isn't this suffering in vain!"

"One hundred gold, brothers, work hard, if we come out on top, we'll send it."

"Looking at the attitude of that big official, it must be for fun, in just three days, the bounty has increased tenfold, if this is taken by others, it will be a loss."

"But what the hell is this coal, the black stone, or the burning stone?"

Several people complained, among which the prestige of the young man was more consoled.

Even though they were all hired.

But it's not so desperate.

But for the sake of the bounty, they have to dig it out even if they are exhausted.

However, they opened three patios, and all of them dug seven or eight feet deep into the ground, but they saw nothing.

Black stones, not even white stones, are not seen.

"Why don't we dig in another place?"

The young man inside the well shouted.

"Dig, this well digging is most afraid of giving up halfway, just grab a place to dig, only dig a well that can't dig deep, how can there be a well that can't dig water."

"Come to think of it, the black stone that the big official said is like well water, flowing in the ground, just waiting for us to dig it!"

The youth on the well shouted similarly.

As soon as the young man in the well had finished shouting, he heard an exclamation not far away.

"Out of the water, out of the water, come up, come up!"

Someone dug water out of a well, and someone shouted hurriedly outside the well.

"Fuck, how long is this going to go!"

……

Yingcheng didn't know how coal would appear in Pinyang.

The young people who followed also didn't know whether to dig or find, all in all, there were people looking for coal everywhere in the mountains, but no one had seen what coal looked like.

I can only dig one by one.

"Sweep away and see!"

On the other side, on a barren beach, as far as the eye can see, it is white.

A group of more than 20 young and strong people formed a straight line and swept past.

Take two steps.

Then he swept away the snow that had not yet melted on the ground, and looked for any black stones on the ground.

"Where is the black stone, how do I think the Great Law Order is lying to us!"

"That's right, in this place, except for the mountain soil or the mountain soil, not to mention the black stones, not even the stones."

"Will we find the direction, where did the stone come from in this mountain soil bag, if you want to find black stones, there should be a lot of stones on the mountain!"

"Let's continue to look ahead, so far I haven't heard of anyone getting the bounty, and those who are looking for it in the stone mountain will definitely not find it."

"It's already freezing on this day, if you can't find it again, I'm afraid this bounty will not be easy to earn!"

"Don't talk about the bounty, I'm afraid it's not easy to get the fifty dollars."

The team on the desert beach was also not found.

The other side.

In the ravines, on the mountain beams, someone shouted loudly: "Have you found it?" ”

The people in the ravine replied loudly: "No! ”

Someone from the top of another mountain beam also shouted, "We don't have it here!" ”

A responsible young man shouted loudly on the mountain beam: "Keep going, I don't believe that I can't find a black stone, brothers work hard, and a hundred gold will be in hand." ”

Some people dig in ravines, some people dig on barren beaches, some people seek beaches on barren beaches, and some people sweep ditches in ravines.

In the entire Pinyang realm, 20,000 people are scattered inside, although it seems that there are only a handful, but it can't stand the 20,000 people like plowing the ground, looking for it layer by layer.

In just three days, half of the territory has been cleared.

But that's it.

Still no one has found the black stone...... Coal.

But.

Because of the existence of a hundred bounties, these 20,000 people are still looking for their spiritual heads.

"The bounty has been raised to one hundred and fifty gold, damn it, what the hell is this thing!"

Yingcheng stood on top of a mountain peak, overlooking the four fields from afar, eager to come to something to find the dragon to see the winding mountain, a heavy entanglement is a heavy pass, if there are a thousand locks in the door, there must be a prince living here!

He, did his best.

I have already gone into battle to find it myself.

But.

There is no hope in sight.

For three whole days, there was no hope in sight.

Even if someone finds the missing piece of coal.

I really can't find even the slightest trace.

"Childe, what the hell is this coal?"

Guo Huaiyi next to him couldn't help but ask.

It's really all the manpower and material resources that have been spent, and there is no trace of it at all.

If it weren't for the fact that he believed in Yingcheng very much, really, even he thought that Yingcheng was playing around here.

Spending money to find happiness is not unheard of among the many noble sons in Xianyang.

"Find!"

Yingcheng was irritable and did not answer Guo Huaiyi's question.

Coal.

An indispensable thing for the development of an era.

In the land of China, there are very rich coal resources.

It can be said that coal is very important for the development of society as a whole.

Even if it's not used to generate electricity.

That is also extremely important for the improvement of Daqin's current smelting technology and the burning of ceramic paper.

What's more, the winter is too cold, with coal, a boiler, and a little more smelting, you can burn the heating.

With heating, the winter days are much better.

Nothing else.

If he couldn't find coal, he would have to cut down trees.

Yingcheng became more and more irritable.

"How the hell did you find that thing?"

Yingcheng was speechless, and turned forward another mountain, kicking the snow on the ground with both feet, but there was still nothing.

Without testing equipment, he himself relied on this clumsy method.

It's just that this efficiency is really low.

"Da Lu Ling, let's think about it now, how to face the counterattack of my Bai clan!"

"The old man is very easy to catch, but if he catches it, it is not so easy to let go."

Bai Lang was taken by Yingcheng with him, and his body was tied up by Wuhuada, and when he saw the irritable Yingcheng, he couldn't help but ridicule.

"Noise, shut up!"

Yingcheng snorted coldly, everything has been done, let's talk about it too much.

"I don't know how to weigh myself, believe it or not, Lao Tzu slaughtered more than 10,000 people in your Bai clan, and you are used to it!"

Bai Lang said angrily: "You dare! ”

Yingcheng sneered: "Look at whether Lao Tzu dares or not, respect you for martial arts, you really treat yourself as a thing!" ”

"There is no coercion in my heart, relying on the merits of the past generations to occupy one side, relying on the ancestors to occupy the fiefdom by Mengyin, and the way to die."

Yingcheng smiled.

Bai Lang's mouth had been tightly blocked, and Yingcheng turned around and continued to walk forward.

I'm walking.

A burst of anxious shouts came, Feng Shijie rode a fast horse and ran, shouting happily as he ran: "Da Lu Ling, I found it, I found it!" ”

"The black stone has been found!"

Suddenly.

Yingcheng turned around and stared in the direction Feng Shijie was running from.

A wave of ecstasy welled up in my heart.

"Hurry up, let's go!"

Yingcheng turned over and ran over to Feng Shijie.

Guo Huaiyi also breathed a sigh of relief with a look of surprise, and hurriedly followed.

Three hundred black armor guards followed, and a trace of doubt flashed in the eyes of the white waves who were being held, and they knew the black stone after being guarded by Yingcheng for so long...... What kind of miracle is coal?

Although he has lived in Pinyang all his life, he has never seen that thing.

Can be found once found.

That's going to turn the world upside down.

"Where did you find it?"

As soon as he met Feng Shijie, Yingcheng asked with a look of surprise.

"This!" Feng Shijie smiled very embarrassedly and said, "The lower officials don't know if it's what the Great Law Order is looking for!" ”

"And it's a very strange place."

"Talk as you go!" Yingcheng urged the horse, and he could already ride a foal skillfully and run.

"Yes!" Feng Shijie responded, and said while leading the way in front: "It's Du Lao Wu and them." ”

"After they searched for a day and a night and didn't find it, they ran back to where we had just been, and there were more than 20 pits at once."

"As a result, after digging just over four feet, I dug into a black layer of soil, and when I dug down again, it all turned into black stones."

Hearing this, Yingcheng suddenly looked at Feng Shijie speechlessly, "Just dug it up where we came on the first day?" ”

The greasy one in my heart.

20,000 people searched for three days and three nights, but Mao was not seen.

He was stunned and didn't expect that he would be in the place when he first came.

That place is a mountain, the terrain is very high, and I didn't expect it.

"Hey, the main thing is that the location where the Great Law Order landed is so good!" Feng Shijie was also speechless and sighed: "Because it is the place where I just came, everyone has gone out for forty or fifty miles to look for it these days, but no one is looking for it in the place where I just came, so that place is automatically ignored." ”

"If it weren't for Du Lao Wu and them, I'm afraid even if we look for a month, we may not be able to find it."

"Who's to say it isn't!" Yingcheng nodded, and couldn't help but speed up.

Soon.

Yingcheng came to the place where he first came.

It's weird to say.

Qin Zhidao was on this mountain range with a large span, and after he reached the Pinyang Realm, he stopped on the side of the road.

Logically speaking.

If coal could have been dug up in this place, then the people who built the road back then should have dug up coal, and there should not have been any records, and it was only discovered now.

Suppressing the strangeness in his heart, Yingcheng quickly came to the place where Du Lao Wu dug a pit.

Sure enough.

In the distance, he could already see a pile of coal on the ground.

Du Lao Wu and his entourage were not idle, and continued to dig with people, digging out more than a ton.

But.

But no one was seen burning charcoal, and there was a big fire burning next to it to keep warm.

What made him even more speechless was.

Du Lao Wu actually sat on the ground with a fire fold and lit charcoal, and scolded from time to time: "This thing can be burned, I ate this thing, order a fart, can this be lit, a fire fold is gone, this thing has not been lit yet." ”

"A mouthful of foam and a mouthful of nails, you Du Lao Wu really want to eat this thing!" Yingcheng rode on the foal and laughed.

A bone.

Du Lao Wu turned over and hurriedly greeted: "The grass people meet the Great Law Order!" ”

Yingcheng raised his hand and smiled very happily: "Go, get a bucket of this thing in your mouth and throw it in the fire." ”

"Gotta do it!" Du Lao Wuyi got up and beckoned, "Come two people, pour this thing into the fire." ”

Swiftly, shovel after shovel of coal was poured into the fire.

Moment.

And he poured out the fire.

"This, the Great Law Order, is destroyed!" Du Lao Wu looked at the fire that was extinguished in an instant, and turned around speechlessly.

"This, the Great Decree!" Feng Shijie got off the horse and quietly gathered beside Yingcheng, and couldn't help but mutter: "Can this thing really burn?" ”

"Yes, Childe, is this the coal that can be burned, this stone is subordinate, the subordinate has actually seen it, and can write black characters on the stone, I thought it was strange at the time, and I brought it home."

Guo Huaiyi rode on horseback, looked at a pile of coal, and couldn't help but say when he got to Yingcheng's side:

"Actually, in fact, this thing is also in His Majesty's treasury!"

"That was Your Majesty's second eastern tour, when passing by Yishan Mountain, I picked it up in the mountains and forests, Your Majesty also studied it for a long time, but I didn't study it, so I lost it in the treasury, in fact, there are also in the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"I heard that the warlocks put this thing in the Danding to refine the pill, but they didn't refine anything!"

Listening to Guo Huaiyi's explanation, Yingcheng grunted twice.

He has long said that coal is not a scarce thing in the land of China, and the reserves are still very rich.

Yishan, that is the boundary of Shandong, it is very normal to encounter a real open-pit coal mine.

It's just that discovering the use of coal is a long process.

When an item is found, someone puts coal in the fire to find a use, an official or a large family notices the use, and then the central official notices it, and then it is possible to replace charcoal.

"What's the hurry, wait a while, it's time to witness the miracle!"

Yingcheng smiled, for him who had used it in a large area, he didn't have much curiosity about this thing.

Let the coal burn, Yingcheng dismounted and came to the place where the coal was dug out.

I saw the situation clearly, but I didn't understand the specific situation.

After digging more than four feet, I found coal, and the thickness of the coal seam looks good, but the specific reserves are unknown.

But.

Whatever, just dig it out.

"Go and call someone to dig it, everyone call here, dig out this layer for me!"
