Chapter 28 Sun's Coal Industry
Chapter 28 Sun Family Coal Industry
Although Emperor Taizong of Tang married Princess Gaoyang and Zhang Hao, because Princess Gaoyang is not yet of the age to become a cargo, Zhang Hao still needs to wait for two or three years.
By then, it is estimated that Yue Fei and Zhang Hao may get married in the same year.
Zhang Hao is only seventeen years old, four or five years older than Princess Gaoyang. He is not at all panicked. If he has a choice, he would rather be single than marry a princess who is likely to be unable to control her for the rest of his life.
After learning the good news, Du Gou, Tang Gu, Fang Yiai, Cheng Huailiang, Yuchi Baolin and others also asked Zhang Hao to come out to have a drink to celebrate.
What's there to celebrate! Zhang Hao refused, so he could only leave at the invitation.
"Brother Sun Hao, congratulations, I will be the prince consort in the future!" Fang Yiai at the dinner table also sincerely congratulated Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao doesn’t know how to complain!
Princess Gaoyang should have been yours, what a big cuckold is about to fall on my head!
I only heard Fang Yiai's words before he finished: "I heard before that I might marry Princess Gaoyang, but I was shocked. She is the princess that His Majesty loves the most, and she has to be afraid of being married. However, I believe that Brother Sun Hao can control it!"
Your sister, you are so clear!
I'm going to take the disaster for you!
There was nothing to say, Zhang Hao tried his best to drink Fang Yiai until he was putting him down, and he felt a little relieved.
Drinking to boost courage, Zhang Hao made up his mind and said in his heart: I can’t control a girl’s movie? Wouldn’t I live for two lifetimes in vain!
No matter what princess she loves most, no matter what princess she may be with a cuckold, she has to lie down when she comes to me and be obedient!
For a moment, Zhang Hao, who was drunk, became much more courageous.
Fortunately, it didn't say it out, otherwise it would be said that he slandered the princess, and maybe Emperor Taizong of Tang would punish him.
Winter goes and spring comes.
He entered the fifth year of Zhenguan (631).
Li Bai, Yu Lan and Zhuge Liang went to Qizhou together. It was time to go to work after the holiday.
Chongzhen had already gone to work after the New Year. Emperor Taizong of Tang was even more anxious than him. He was anxious to make more gunpowder and firearms and equip a new army as soon as possible.
Yue Fei made a marriage with the Du family, went to visit, and then left after the beginning of the New Year. He was the central governor and needed to lead troops to guard the northwest border.
His relationship with Li Jing was not affected much. Li Jing understood Emperor Taizong of Tang's intention and did not make things difficult for Yue Fei. He still appreciated and looked forward to Yue Fei's growth.
Bai Qi, Xu Jie, Bai Chao, and the family of three still live in the Sun family in Sanshi Village. While accompanying their wives and children, they manage two important industries: Sun's security and Sun's transportation.
Especially the Sun security guards, after Bai Qi's training, they are strict discipline and have good combat effectiveness.
Zhang Hao temporarily put Princess Gaoyang's troubles behind him and worked hard to do his career. He wanted to be the richest man in the Tang Dynasty who was as rich as the country!
Sun's stationery and Sun's glass, these two industries have been expanding to other prefectures and prefectures in the Tang Dynasty.
There are Boss Zheng, Boss Li, Boss Zhang, and Boss Wu. The people from these five aristocratic families are progressing very smoothly. These businessmen are more active than Zhang Hao with money.
"Boss Sun, these coal mining sites are good. If you are interested, we can help you take it down. It's all small matters and can't delay our big business!"
Several old foxes are surprisingly efficient and have found some coal mines for Zhang Hao.
At this time, coal was basically used for smelting, and the demand was not large. Moreover, the smelting and control of the imperial court, the profit obtained from mining coal was limited, which was not as good as glass.
Glass mirrors and glass windows are very popular, with a lot of demand and huge profits!
The money the five of them earned through Sun's stationery and Sun's glass does not need to be small. What's important is that the market is relatively large, and the Sun's output is far from keeping up.
"The Sun family wants to take these coal mines, so please help the successors take them down. After that, Sun's Glass will arrange to build workshops near these coal mines to expand the scale."
Zhang Hao always revealed that he needed coal to burn glass. The five bosses did not doubt that they had, because they didn't know what other uses of coal besides smelting and Sun's family had.
Zhang Hao is willing to quickly expand the production of glass. The five of their bosses are happy to see it and quickly help the Sun family gain mining power in several coal mines.
With the current power of the Sun family, it can be taken down, but it is certainly not as fast as these five aristocratic families. Why not use them if they can be used?
Mutual benefit!
In addition to the several coal mines brought by the five of them, Zhang Hao also specially searched for several coal mines in Chang'an and Guanzhong.
A few months later, the Sun family owned nine coal mines.
But how big is the Jiujiu coal mine, how long it can be mined, and whether it will be good or not in the future are all problems. You can only look at the mining while looking at it.
Zhang Hao began to form the "Sun Family Coal Industry". In terms of manpower, most ordinary workers were recruited by the Sun family themselves, and the five bosses helped recruit some people.
The most important thing is that at Zhang Hao's request, five bosses helped Zhang Hao dig some technical workers from some coal mine workshops.
Mining coal mines is a technical job, and it is very dangerous and requires people who know how to operate them in detail.
Zhang Hao knew about the situation of coal mining in later generations, used everything that could be used here, and tried to ensure the safety of coal mining.
Reporting to the government is necessary, and the government will also supervise. If coal mining accidents complete casualties, the government will supervise the Sun family to be responsible to the workers. If the matter is serious, it may pursue legal responsibilities.
However, the government will turn a blind eye to the Sun family's current power.
This is the reality. With power, no matter how many people die of coal mining, as long as the Sun family solves it quickly and does not let things get worse, the government will not care about the Sun family.
Zhang Hao is not a cold-blooded person. He attaches great importance to the safety of his own industry, especially coal mining. An accident may lead to the death of many people, and that is how many families are there.
Zhang Hao couldn't do things against his conscience, otherwise why did he spend a lot of effort to help the victims?
For coal, in addition to providing it to the Sun family's industrial production needs, Zhang Hao also plans to make coke, honeycomb coal, and supporting honeycomb coal stoves.
"Cement, burning bricks, can also start."
With coal as fuel, it is easier to burn cement.
As for the soaps and perfumes that are collaborating with Du Gou and Tang Gu, it is impossible to quickly expand the scale due to material limitations.
At present, it mainly meets the needs of Chang'an first.
But the profits of soap and perfume are higher than those of glass. The huge profits in huge profits are the only thing Changan's market can make them profit!
Zhang Hao is very busy this year. He needs to check the situation in various places of Sun Glass, including Sun Coal Industry, Sun Cement, Sun Brick Floor, Sun Cement, Sun Ceramic Tiles, etc.
There are already several glass greenhouses in the Sun family, all in Sanshi Village and nearby villages, managed by his sister-in-law Xu Jie.
The vegetables and fruits grown were not sold, but were given gifts to maintain relationships between the parties.
Professional, the fifth year of Zhenguan, autumn goes and winter comes.
This year, the number of Sun's family workers has reached thousands of people.
