This night, Li Chengjiu didn't do anything, and drew drawings for half a night.

He didn't have time to look at the group of flashes, so he stayed up until the second half of the night, and finally went to bed because he was too sleepy.

The next day, I had a late set.

Xiaozhu and Li Shun followed Jia Youcai to the shop on Chengzhong Street early.

Jia Youcai has also learned to be smart with Li Chengjiu for a while, and taught Lin Shun and his housekeeper all the work in hand one by one, and soon entered a state of rottenness.

Conscience said that this guy is no one, since he received the quilt and three warm farts sent by Lin Shun, he has been stinky all night.

No, I didn't even wear a Burmese crotch pants, and went to the street directly wearing a three-way warmth.

This is not to let Li Chengjiu see it, otherwise he would have to blind his eyes.

stretched his waist hard, got up and went down to brush his teeth and wash his face.

"I have to let Li Shun recruit some talents from the house, what is the matter if there is no one in the family?"

muttered in his heart, unhurriedly put on his clothes, and then picked up a large roll of drawings and walked out of the palace.

Paper, pens, erasers, and rulers were all given by Sister Na, which is really much better than a brush.

I wanted to call Chen Wu, but I forgot to ask his address, so I simply went out of the city alone.

Anyway, the USP is in the inner pocket of the down jacket, which is absolutely safe.

Yoyo Dada came all the way to his own Zhuangzi.

Sweep your eyes, well, there is no one.

"The people in the village are not right, they all went to Hutou Mountain to dig coal, right?"

muttered in his mouth, I feel that things can't be done like this, coal has to be dug, this land has to be planted, or I have to go to the whole malt myself?

Speed up your pace and go straight to Lao Guotou's adobe yard.

There is no one at home, so it is estimated that he should be supervising the work at the bottom of the mountain.

When Li Chengjiu came to the foot of Hutou Mountain, sure enough, he couldn't wait for all the villagers to come here.

Lao Guo Tou was holding a notebook and bowing his head to record.

After the recording was completed, the coal mine was pulled to an empty field on the east side of Hutou Mountain.

This is the place where the village was cleared out, but in one day, the trees were cut down and the grass was pulled up, and it looked like a few thousand square meters of open space, enough to pile up a lot of coal mines.

Moreover, it is on the side of Hutou Mountain, so it is very convenient to transport.

Li Chengjiu secretly supervised it, and Lao Guotou was quite obedient, and there was really no child labor.

It's just that there are a lot of women in the crowd, all of whom are helping their old men pull the coal mine.

This is a good sign, and it also proves that the dealer is too poor.

In ancient times, male power was supreme, but it was not because the family really couldn't eat, and no old man was willing to let the female relatives of the family show up and go out to make a living, and they couldn't afford to lose that person.

Of course, as for when this relationship between men and women will be leveled, Li Chengjiu will not even think about it.

Even after a thousand years, he can't even pull it off, and he doesn't have to worry about that.

At this moment, the little deflated man not far away was the first to discover him.

He took a few big steps horizontally and vertically, and soon came to Li Chengjiu.

"Lord Wang, are you here?"

This kid was born in poverty, and naturally his family didn't teach him any etiquette, so he just stepped forward and shouted a word and didn't kneel.

Li Chengjiu liked it very much, "Are you an adult and come here to work?" ”

The little deflated man smiled: "Hehe, the kid is not digging coal, he is just helping Uncle Guo keep accounts." ”

"As far as your kid will say, what about your father?"

"Well, over there." The little deflated man turned and pointed.

At a glance, I saw the old man carrying a big bamboo basket full of coal mines and walking back with a smile on his face.

"Okay, you go and call your father, and wait for this king to find him something."

"Okay."

The little deflated boy answered and went straight in his father's direction.

Li Chengjiu smiled, and at this time, most of the villagers also saw him, and they were busy kneeling down and saluting.

waved his hand and asked everyone to do what they should do, and leave him alone.

Then he came behind Lao Guotou.

The old boy was swinging around on the ground with a handful of calculation chips, and from time to time he made a mark on the account book, and because he was too serious, he didn't find the prince behind him.

Sneak a peek.

I have to say,There are all kinds of symbols recorded crookedly in the notebook.,It's estimated that no one can understand what is written except for himself.。

Okay, it seems that we have to talk to the group about this arithmetic, and Arabic numerals must be passed down from him.

"Old Guotou, you're very serious."

Li Chengjiu called out with a smile, and his voice was not loud, which also startled the old man.

Old Guo Tou turned around and saw that the prince was coming and was busy kneeling, but he was dragged up by the prince.

"From now on, you will stand and talk, and then kneel and go back to smoking your dry tobacco."

Pretending to be angry, the old man straightened up.

"Lord Wang, why don't you say a word? The old slave is going to pick you up at Zhuangkou. ”

"How so? The whole village ran here to dig coal, and not a single figure could be seen. ”

Old Guo Tou scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard this.

After all, the salary given by the prince is too high, who will miss this errand in the village?

Hurriedly handed over the account book in his hand to a person beside him, told him to record it well, and then took the prince out of the mining circle, there is not so much coal ash here, but it can't stain the prince's clothes.

Li Chengjiu didn't care, but he still picked up the old man.

"How? The coal mine is digging quite smoothly, right? ”

waited until the two of them stood still, and then Li Chengjiu asked.

Lao Guo Tou frowned, as if he was organizing language, and only after a long time did he reply:

"Lord Wang, the people in Zhuang have been working overtime these days, but no one can dig up 1,500 catties a day."

"Huh? Am I talking too much? ”

Li Chengjiu was dumbfounded, what he thought at that time was still too simple.

The mouth cannon lost to practice.

Whimsy is indeed a common problem for most people without knowing it on the ground.

And then I think about it, in this era of simple and scarce tools, it may be difficult to achieve even more than 1,000 catties by manually mining coal mines.

That's fine, he never wanted to squeeze these dealers anyway.

"It's okay, tell everyone that there is no need to quantify, and if you can, you will still settle at the price of 3 cents per 10 catties, and those who can work hard, but you must pay attention to safety."

Old Guo Tou nodded.

Then Li Chengjiu continued: "When I plan a set of plans, this work will also enter the formal process, not everyone is suitable for coal mining, I will tell you in detail later." ”

Lao Guo Tou frowned, "Lord Wang, now everyone is on the rise, if the personnel are reduced, the old slave is afraid that some people will be unwilling." ”

"It's the king's fault, it's still too simple, but don't worry, I won't let everyone be idle."

After all, the coal mine after digging has to be soaked in water and crushed, cleaned up impurities, and finally pressed into honeycomb coal.

It takes people to do it.

In addition, in the spring of next year, we will try to plant potatoes and corn, and people will inevitably be indispensable.

In the afterglow, he caught a glimpse that the old man and the old man were already waiting aside, so he chatted with Lao Guo Tou for a few more words before turning to the two.

There was no nonsense, and the old man was exempted from a set of cumbersome etiquette, and went straight to the house of the two.

The last place in the house that was smashed has been cleaned up and repaired.

The old man hurriedly found a wooden stool for the prince to sit down.

There is no way, the family is too poor, and he is afraid that he will mistake the identity of the prince.

Li Chengjiu didn't care, just took out a bunch of drawings and handed it to the old man after a few random sentences, and said:

"Look, can this thing fight?"

The old man took the drawing and looked at it carefully, "What is this?" ”

Li Chengjiu smiled, "Coal stove." ”
