After receiving the news, Gonggong Zheng couldn't even care about the matter at hand, so he quickly took a few of his subordinates, rode on a fast horse, and galloped towards the Yiluo Coal Mine.

The Yiluo Coal Mine is more than 70 miles away from Luoyang City, even if it is fast, it will take a lot of time, and when Gonggong Zheng arrived, he saw the people of the white kite, which was already surrounded by three layers outside the mine and three layers outside.

Got out of the way and prepared to clean the water from the mine.

As soon as Zheng Gonggong and his party arrived, they were blocked by a janitor: "The construction site is dangerous, don't break in." ”

Gonggong Zheng snorted: "Our family represents the Fuwang Mansion, your construction site is contracted from our family, why has our family become an idle person?" ”

Gatekeeper: "You middle-aged fat man looks like a thief, you don't look like a good person, I don't believe you are from Fuwangfu." ”

Gonggong Zheng was angry: "How can this be reasonable, our family is Gonggong Zheng of Fuwangfu, you hurry up and inform the white kite, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." ”

The gatekeeper seemed to be frightened, so he slowly went in to report.

After a while, the white kite came out and said with a smile: "Oh, it turned out to be Gonggong Zheng of the Fuwang Mansion who came, and he missed the distance, forgive the sins." The doorkeeper just now was a temporary worker, and he didn't know Gonggong Zheng, so it was no wonder that he was offended. ”

It was the first time that Gonggong Zheng heard the term "temporary worker", and he was easily fooled, but he didn't expect that Gaojiacun deliberately sent a stunned young man here to sweep his face, and took the opportunity to scold him.

He followed the white kite into the construction site.

I saw a large group of workers, who had already surrounded the door of the mine, and among the workers, there was a huge machine.

The machine looked like a boiler with a long tube in front of it.

The workers were shouting, "One, two, three...... Hard...... One, two, three...... ...... hard"

They lifted the long pipe and stuffed it into the pit.

The pit is black and hollow, and you can't see inside.

Of course, a noble person like Gonggong Zheng is not willing to go in, and the situation inside is invisible. I saw that after the group of workers carrying the pipe entered, they withdrew after a while, and said loudly: "Okay, the pipe has been inserted into the sinking water." ”

The white kite raised his hand: "Start pumping!" ”

Then the huge boiler began to burn, and the wheels of the machine spun rapidly with the sound of steam, and a stream of yellow water spewed out from the water pipe connected to the machine. Rush into a pre-dug drain and flow into the distance.

The workers cheered: "The water is pumped out!" ”

Gonggong Zheng: "Huh? ”

Although he had never seen a pumping machine, he could see that this strange machine could actually pump out the water in the pipe, and the pipe was connected all the way into the mine, that is...... It can pump water out of the mine.

"it!" Gonggong Zheng was shocked, and thought that he was relying on a bucket to fetch water, carrying it on his shoulders, and he didn't know how long it would take to clean up the mine, but he didn't expect that the white kite actually had such a magical machine.

The huge thick water pipe, the brushing and pumping water, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to drain all the water.

Don't panic!

Gonggong Zheng thought to himself: Even if you can easily pump out the water in the pit, it is just to restore the pit to the way it was before the flood, and the coal mine produced is still the same as before.

A few days later......

Gonggong Zheng received a report from his subordinates again: "Father-in-law, the white kite has played a new trick at the entrance of the mine." ”

Gonggong Zheng: "??? ”

He hurriedly stepped up and ran to see the excitement.

After being tossed around by the new temporary worker gatekeeper for a while, he finally entered the construction site, only to see a large circle of people surrounding the entrance of the mine.

They were fiddling with strange little tracks, a piece of railroad rails that stretched out into the depths of the mine. On the tracks is a small minecart with iron cables wrapped around it.

A worker pushes a small mine cart into a mine.

The minecart began to slide slowly, but soon brushed the ground and slid into the depths of the cave, and Gonggong Zheng was still unwilling to go down to the mine to see, just waiting outside and not knowing what the minecart was doing inside.

After a while, a small bell rang on the track.

The workers outside laughed and said, "That's it! It's time to pull the car out. ”

A worker started the steam engine, the boiler machine that pumped water, now turned into a drawstring, and he pulled the iron cable, and he pulled and pulled. There was a rumbling sound on the rails, and after a while, the small minecart that had just slid into the depths of the mine was pulled out.

The cart was full of ore.

"Unloaded!"

A worker shouted as he walked over and hooked an iron hook to the board on the side of the small minecart, and when he pulled it, the board on the side of the minecart was turned over.

The body was slightly crooked, and the coal stone of the whole vehicle fell to the ground.

Then, the workers covered it with side panels and pushed it into the mine, and the cart slid back into the mine.

Gonggong Zheng: "!! ”

He understood that the coal kiln built by the white kite did not need coal miners to carry the coal out of the ground on their shoulders, but used this small mine cart to achieve extremely high transportation speed.

In this way, the workers do not need to run back and forth, they just need to dig underground, throw the excavated ore into the small mine cart, and then the small mine cart can return to the surface in the blink of an eye.

This...... This...... Digging coal like this?

Disastrous!

Gonggong Zheng suddenly discovered that the output of this coal mine is not only as simple as increasing several times, but it is not ten, twenty, or thirty times.

I knew it earlier, so I would have let him give it to Fuwangfu Sancheng, instead of signing a dead contract, ahhhh

Gonggong Zheng was so distressed that he couldn't breathe.

Suddenly, he thought of something, turned to a few of his subordinates who came with him, and said in a deep voice: "Regarding the output of this coal mine, you must not tell the prince, everyone's mouth should be tightened for me." ”

His henchmen instantly understood.

It doesn't matter if he loses, as long as the prince doesn't know the production capacity of this new pit, he thinks that the contract money he collects is a big profit.

In this way, you will achieve a world where "everyone earns"! No one loses.

The henchmen hurriedly expressed their loyalty: "Don't worry, father-in-law, we won't tell you about this matter if we die, and the prince will never teach him to know the slightest bit of news." ”

Gonggong Zheng nodded: "That's good, that's good." Our family is very loyal to the prince, and we have done our best all our lives to serve the prince. A dirty and smelly pit like a coal mine, a noble person like the prince should not worry about it, just have our family watch it for him. ”

Confidants: "What Gonggong Zheng said is true. ”
