Chapter 414: Coal

"Oh, is that true?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Biaoke was excited.

The method of making steel from Zheng Xiong's hands was unexpected.

Peak loop turn.

Zheng Xiong's anxious mood turned out to be unexpected.

"Really, more really, than real gold!"

"I wonder if His Highness can give a promise of 10 billion catties?"

Zhu Biao smiled, his eyes narrowing into a slit.

Again and again.

"Of course, there is faith in words, and you will never do things that are untrustworthy, you can rest assured!"

The devil will let go of your heart.

But Zheng Xiong had no other way but to continue.

"There are two most important steps in iron smelting, one is mining, and the other is fire."

"If you want to mine, you can provide money and hire people, and of course it would be better if the guards could help."

"In the early years, the minister got an iron ore map from a stranger, and he should also hand it over to His Highness."

Who is this capable minister?

This is a proper treasure!

The iron ore map has been figured out, if it weren't for his own people, the first person to kill would be Zheng Xiong.

Zhu Biao's eyes were no longer straight, but showed a frightened expression.

"You really have?"

"Well, it's just that it's not too detailed, after all, it's from the early years, and now it's not necessarily accurate, but it should be useful."

After listening to this, Zhu Biao slapped his thigh violently.

"It doesn't matter if it's accurate or not, as long as you give it, you will be remembered for a great achievement."

"Please Your Highness Rongchen go back and rummage, I haven't seen it for many years, I don't know if it has been eaten by mice, but Your Highness don't worry, the minister will not forget, remember a seven, seven, eighty, eight, and tomorrow I will hand it over to Your Highness."

This is not false, Zheng Xiong is a person with an octa-core processor after all, and he also rummaged through the books he has read from memory.

But the inhuman teaching is purely unnecessary.

Believe it or not, I've explained it myself anyway.

Believe it or not.

You can't dissect yourself!

There is also an advantage, after strengthening the vague impression of the alien this time, his own ability can also have a source, so as not to be abrupt.

It's a precautionary shot.

Sure enough, Zhu Biao's expression softened, and he nodded thoughtfully.

"The doctor has a heart, Lone is waiting for your good news tomorrow, but even if Lone can gather people to mine, the fire source is also a problem, and it is also not easy to solve."

"In this way, if the map is accurate, the lonely master will give you a billion catties, what do you think?"

Don't worry!

Zheng Xiong hurriedly said.

"Your Highness, please slow down, the minister also has some thoughts on the issue of the fire source, and it is not too late for the minister to finish speaking."

After the shock, Zhu Biao was about to become numb at this moment.

Forget it, listen to you!

"Doctor, please speak!"

Having said so much, Zheng Xiong was not in a hurry, took a sip of the freshly refilled tea, and said slowly.

"Before this, the minister asked, I wonder if His Highness is interested in making some money to spend?"

came to sell Guanzi again, and Zhu Biao, who was on the rise, listened to the big head.

Is it profitable?

Of course I was interested.

Don't do that again!

"Of course Lone has an interest in making money, but what do you say have to do with making money!"

"Yes, you can make a small profit while smelting iron, is Your Highness interested?"

I'm convinced.

It doesn't seem like a bad idea to make a little money.

All right!

"Lone agreed, how do you say to take the lead?"

"The minister is going to set up a mining group, His Royal Highness is forty percent, Ying Tianfu accounts for sixty percent, what does His Highness think?"

"What is a group?"

"This doesn't matter, Your Highness knows that it is specialized in mining, can it?"

"What's that? There are some things you can't touch, you should know! ”

"The minister knows, never touch! Will Your Highness answer? ”

Zhu Biao tilted his head and thought for a while, as long as he didn't touch the controlled things of salt and iron, there were no other problems.

Hearing this, he nodded.

"Yes."

Zhu Biao's attitude gave Zheng Xiong a reassurance, and then said.

"Since His Highness has taken a share, there are several places where His Highness has to communicate with him, the first is to let our mining group enter the mining, and the local government must not interfere!"

When he kicked the door, he didn't expect Zheng Xiong to be so inky, so Zhu Biao had to continue helplessly.

"Okay!"

"What the minister wants is Fengyang Mansion, Xuzhou, and Shanxi Political Envoys, I don't know if Your Highness is difficult here?"

It's not difficult, it's not difficult at all

Zhu Biao barely hesitated.

"Fengyang Mansion is not where it is, but the other two places can."

"Not in Zhongdu, Your Highness can rest assured."

Since he was not in the central capital, Zhu Biao didn't say much.

"But, now you can say it!"

Finally got the benefits, Zheng Xiong stopped selling Guanzi and said.

"There is a thing in the north, which the minister calls coal, and it is also called Shini."

"All coal is born in the heavens for the purpose of exercising gold and stones. If there is no grass and trees in the bald mountains in the south, there will be coal below, not to mention in the north.

There are three kinds of coal, including open coal, crushed coal, and end coal.

Ming coal is as large as Dou Xu, Yan, Qi, Qin, Jin Shengzhi. Don't use bellows to blow fans, ignite with a little charcoal, and blaze for day and night.

It is surrounded by crumbs, and it is burned with clean loess to make cakes. There are two kinds of crushed coal, Wu and Chu.

Those who are high in the heat are called rice charcoal, which is used for cooking; The one who is peaceful is called iron charcoal, which is used to treat forging.

When entering the furnace, wet it with water first, it must be red after the drum is used, and it is used to increase it. The last coal is like a face, and the name is the wind.

The muddy water is mixed into a cake, put into the furnace, after burning, it is the same as the open coal, it is not extinguished day and night, and it is half for cooking.

Semi-used for molten copper, fossils, and zhu. As for the burnt stone for ash, alum, and sulfur, the three coals can be used.

Those who have been taking coal for a long time can distinguish the color of the soil from the surface, and then dig to a depth of five zhang to get coal.

When I first saw the coal end, the poisonous gas was scorching. There are those who chisel the middle section of the giant bamboo, sharpen its end, and insert it into the charcoal, and its poisonous smoke penetrates through the bamboo, and people pick it up from under it.

Or a well down, the charcoal is wide and horizontal, and it is wide and wide with it. It has a branch on it to prevent the ear from crushing.

After emptying the coal, fill the well with soil, and after twenty or thirty years, the coal under it will regrow, and it will be inexhaustible.

The bottom and the surrounding stone eggs, the local people called copper charcoal, take out the burning soap alum and sulfur.

Where the stone pebbles take sulfur alone, its gas is very fragrant, the name is stinky coal, Yanjing Fangshan, Gu'an, Huguang Jingzhou and other places have it.

After all coal is burned, the quality is dissolved with the fire, and there is no ash.

Between the cover of gold and the earth and stone, this kind of cloud does not appear in creation.

Where coal does not grow lush grass and wood, in order to see the wonder of the heart of heaven.

If its cooking function is not enough, it is only one kind of corruption. ”

This paragraph is Song Yingxing's description of coal in "Heavenly Creation".

Zheng Xiong retold it almost in its entirety.

Then Zheng Xiong continued.

"These are the minister's understanding of coal, as far as the minister knows, there are many people in the north who use it, and there is a large amount of coal in the Shanxi political envoy's department, and it is easy to mine, and it is very good to use as a fire source."

"There are three places known to the Southern Ministers, two in Xuzhou, and one in Fengyang Mansion."

"Thinking of the inconvenience of transportation, the minister thought that he could divide the north and south, smelt iron separately for preparation, and sell it nearby!"
