    You can search "Da Wei Nengchen" in Baidu to find the latest chapter!

    ¡°So far, there are more than 197,000 mining people in the Pingdingshan area, more than 300 mine openings, and a daily output of more than 3,000 trucks of coal, 1,500 trucks of iron ore, and 800 trucks of mineral salt.  There are many loads, and as time goes by, the number of people and output are increasing.

    There is more than enough minerals to supply Runan County. The government is organizing caravans to sell the remaining coal and mineral salt to Xuzhou, Yanzhou, Sizhou and other places in exchange for money, grain, cattle and seeds that the people urgently need.

    The iron ore is smelted into refined iron on site, half of which is used to make weapons for the army to fight; the other half is used to make farm tools and distributed to ordinary people. If there is any leftover, it is sold to northern states and counties!  "

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In the large tent of the Chinese army, Xiao Yi sat in the middle, with civil and military personnel on both sides, all listening attentively. Shi Tao held an account book and reported in detail the mining situation and the use of minerals.

    Among Zhuge's four friends, Shi Tao was kind-hearted by nature and didn't like the way of war and killing, but he was very interested in people's livelihood. Seeing that the mining area was very busy, but the accounts were very chaotic, causing a huge waste, he couldn't help but take action.  Already

    As a result, after more than half a month, the accounting books of the mining area were all clear, the personnel arrangements were very reasonable, and the mineral output continued to increase. It was logical that Shi Tao became the supervisor of the entire mining area. Although he did not have an official position, he kept his promise!

    "Mr. Guangyuan, thank you for your hard work. From today on, you will be the Salt and Iron Official, responsible for the Pingdingshan Mining Area. You will manage this 'golden doll' well and benefit the people here!"

    The world is one family, and there are no boundaries in business. The coal, iron, and salt produced in the mining areas can be sold not only to the northern states and counties, but also to Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Yizhou in exchange for more cattle and grain!

    Liu Bei's army is fighting with the Baiyue tribe, and the weapons consumption is very high. We can sell some of the refined iron we smelt to them, even if it is used to defend the country from enemies, but the price must be high, and the big-eared thieves cannot be cheap!  "

    Xiao Yi is very satisfied with the situation in the mining area. In this era, there are no heavy machinery or high explosives. It is all the work of ordinary people digging with pickaxes and carrying people on their shoulders. Being able to produce thousands of carts of minerals a day is already very impressive.  incredible.

    The people were extremely enthusiastic and divided into three teams to dig day and night. Even women and children came to help. The officials also worked extra hard to provide food and accommodation in the mining area. Especially the newly appointed students showed crazy enthusiasm.  So energetic that some people actually fainted from exhaustion

    Those who have made meritorious deeds will naturally be heavily rewarded. Xiao Yi has the power to run the government and appoint officials by himself. Shi Tao is immediately named the Salt and Iron Envoy, in charge of all affairs in the Pingdingshan Mining Area. The other students have  award!

    However, there is also a problem, that is, in terms of weight unit, coal and iron ore are calculated using trucks. However, trucks may be large or small, full or full, so how many are one truck? This is very inconvenient for statistics on production and goods transactions.  !

    The weight units of the Han Dynasty: ten gui weighs one baht, twenty-four baht weighs one tael, sixteen taels weighs one catty, and one hundred and twenty catties weighs one stone. There is no more after that. It is okay to measure general things. Faced with  The mountains of ore are a bit unusable.

    Therefore, Xiao Yi made a new weight unit with a stroke of his pen: two thousand kilograms is a ton, and ten thousand kilograms is a square. This way, when digging and selling coal mines, it will be much easier to settle accounts.

    "Da Sima has the wisdom of heaven and man - he benefits the people and is admired by all people!"

    "My lords, you are serious in your words. I hope we can work together to appease the civil unrest in the Central Plains. The people are really suffering!"

    "No!"

    Facing the great situation, the civil and military officials smiled happily and kept singing their praises. Xiao Yi kept smiling on his face, but his heart was up and down. Things are not that simple!

    This time when the class returned to the court and passed through Runan County, Xiao Yi went on a killing spree and eliminated countless corrupt officials, but he also offended many people. The reason why everything was safe:

    First, he had outstanding military exploits and arrogance, and the people he killed were all corrupt officials. He had an upright and bright banner, which shocked the world!

    Second, he discovered the mineral deposits himself and used the excavated coal, iron, and salt to relieve the people of Runan County, stabilize the situation in Yuzhou, and alleviate the civil unrest in the Central Plains!

    With the exploration of the Digging Army, gold, copper, tin, lead, graphite many minerals were discovered one after another around Pingdingshan. Although they are not as large as coal and iron, they are rich enough, of excellent quality, and easy to mine.  .

    Someone has carefully estimated that within three years, a mining city will be formed here. The value of the ore produced every year is comparable to the tax of a large state, or even more. Mining can make more money than farming!

    Since ancient times, money has been the most attractive thing, but now the treasury is empty.Over the past few days, I have been preparing to make a kind of coal cake, with the same size and portion, which is both beautiful and practical. Now that it is the coldest month of winter, it will definitely be a big seller!

    "The quality of the mineral salt is excellent. You can sell some on the grasslands in exchange for a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, and camels, and then drive them back to the mainland of the Central Plains. The price can increase more than ten times"

    No wonder Liang Xiaoyu has made a fortune. He has a keen sense of business and an extremely active mind. If he follows his operating methods, the income from the Pingdingshan Mining Area will definitely increase exponentially!

    What's more important is that he doesn't want to live alone. He only wants the right to sell coal and half of the mineral salt. As for the iron ore and the other half of the mineral salt, it is left to another wealthy family, the Zhen family. Don't forget Xiao Yi's third wife.  The eldest lady of the Zhen family is too distant to kiss her!

    ¡°You know how to advance and retreat, know what to choose, and are not enslaved by money. You are truly a wise man. If you give up business and join politics, you will definitely be one of the Nine Qings!

    The business of coal and mineral salt is left to the Liang family caravan, but there is one thing to note: the export price must be high, and foreigners must not be cheapened, and the domestic sales price must be low, and more care should be taken of the poor people!  "

    Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction, took out a scroll from his arms, and slowly unfolded it on the table. On it was a strange stove with a long chimney, and an oval briquette with a center full of  Small hole

    Burning coal in a brazier not only wastes heat and pollutes the environment, but also easily causes gas poisoning. In the past, there were rich people who used high-quality coal for cooking, wine, and heating at home, and did not pay attention to the ventilation of the house.  During the night, the whole family was wiped out, and they died without any injuries. This caused a huge panic, and they thought there were ghosts at work!

    Nowadays, coal is supplied to the market in large quantities. In order to avoid further accidents, Xiao Yi 'invented' a new way of using it. He smashed the raw coal into powder, added lime, sawdust, straw, loess, water and reshaped it into an ellipse with sixteen sixteenths in the middle.  A hole, this is briquettes!

    Briquettes save materials, have simple processes, burn longer, are easy to transport, and are naturally cheap. Even some poor families can use it for heating and cooking.

    Stoves are even simpler. If you are a poor family, you can use tiles, yellow mud, sand to make a simple small clay stove, and use a bamboo tube as a chimney. Although the appearance is not very beautiful, it is absolutely practical for living at home.

    As for wealthy families, they can use brass, pig iron, yellow mud, red bricks to make more exquisite and movable stoves, which can also be paired with some barbecue racks, shabu-shabu hot pots, etc. The Liang family caravan can take advantage of the opportunity to make more  Make a fortune!

    "My eldest brother is really wise. If he abandons his official position and engages in business, he will definitely become the world's most powerful businessman, possessing wealth that can rival the country. I am convinced and admired!"

    Liang Xiaoyu quickly understood the uses of stoves and briquettes, as well as the huge business opportunities in them. Then he put the drawings in his arms and rushed to the mining area to inspect

    Xiao Yi then returned to the Zhongjun tent, preparing to receive the second guest - Sima Fang!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
