Du He scratched his head and thought to himself, this old fox is too shameless.
Demolition master?
What a high-tech career.
In this era, if someone appears, it will definitely be the treasure among treasures.
It took him half a month to train this guy Zhang Jian.
Li Er actually wants to train a group of blasting masters in five days?
Seeing Li Er's proud face, Du He wanted to rush forward and beat him up... Of course, he was just thinking about it.
He chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, no problem, no problem, to be honest, my Datang Vocational and Technical College is about to start its term, and it is just the right time to train this blasting master into a major, but the tuition is a bit expensive."
Li Er frowned, made some calculations in his mind, and said, "I will give you five hundred coins and train ten blasting masters for me."
Five hundred texts?
Ten people?
It's far from enough to feed ten people.
Fortunately Li Er could figure it out.
Du He was not annoyed and said with a smile: "No problem, no problem. When Datang Vocational and Technical College starts, I will inform your Majesty in advance."
"That's pretty much it," Du He said proudly, "The work-for-relief program needs to be started as soon as possible. There are still more than 10,000 victims with nothing to do. Du He, don't let me down."
After saying that, Li Er left with a proud look on his face.
Du He looked at Li Er's leaving figure with a smile on his lips.
…
A few days later.
Changan International Shopping Center was officially launched.
Datang Construction Company hired 5,000 people at once and invested in the construction site of Yonghe Liufang.
Du He non-stop took over the previously designed drawings and made some modifications and improvements.
It was finally determined that the shopping mall building would have 12 floors instead of 18 floors. The entire shopping mall would be square on the outside and round on the inside, and the appearance would look very domineering.
Moreover, Du He no longer uses traditional wood as the raw material for the construction of Chang'an International Shopping Center, but prepares to bake his own red bricks as the raw material for the main body of the building.
In this era, although fired bricks had been around for a long time, they were not used on a large scale. Moreover, the brick-making technology was backward and the quality of the fired bricks was not good, so they were not widely used.
What Du He wants to do is to change this situation.
To improve the quality of fired bricks, the first step is to change the burning situation with wood and use coal.
There have been relevant records about coal since the Qin and Han Dynasties, but it was still not officially used until the Tang Dynasty. There are two reasons. First, people in this era did not have much demand for coal. Second, the mining technology was backward and the mining
Coal is not cost-effective.
In Du He's memory of his previous life, there were no coal mines around Chang'an, but there were a large number of coal mines near Lantian, including many open-pit coal mines.
This morning.
In the square of the Dream Group headquarters, there are ten horses, five carriages, and more than ten people, all ready and ready to go at any time.
Looking at these more than ten men, they are all mining experts hired by Du Hehua from Chang'an City with a lot of money. Most of these people were experts in mining iron ore for the imperial court.
The leader was a man in his twenties, who could not be said to be strong. His face was as bronze as a bronze, and he looked very tough.
This guy's name is Mu Zongsi. He was originally a mining craftsman from the Ministry of Industry of the Central Government. He had outstanding abilities and a promising future. However, he offended a superior official and was framed by the other party. He made a big mistake during an iron ore mining operation.
In the end, he was demoted to a commoner, and then became anonymous. If Du He hadn't found Duan Lun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, it would have been difficult to find this guy and ask him to come out.
Mu Zongsi had known Du He's name for a long time, but he was not interested in Du He's idea of looking for black soil. If he hadn't been interested in Du He's employment price of two dollars a day, he would never have come to help.
In addition to Mu Zongsi and others, Du He only brought Lu Bu, Xu Zhengdao, and five guards, and set off in a simple and light vehicle. The direction of the convoy was towards Lantian County in the southeast. Du He's memory
, later there was a large open-pit coal mine in the west of Lantian County, which was very easy to mine and had an amazing amount of reserves.
…
Chang'an City, in an unknown courtyard.
A middle-aged man appeared in a hurry.
He said to the ghost not far away: "Sir, Du He has left the Dream Group with his people and headed towards Lantian County. Most of the people following him this time are craftsmen with only a few guards."
Swish.
The ghost turned around and said in an excited voice: "Okay, hum, I thought Du He would be a turtle, but I didn't expect, hahaha, this is a good opportunity to kill Du He. Tell Cui San to stop Ma Zhou first."
Regarding the matter over there, we must mobilize manpower immediately. This time, I will personally take action and kill Du He."
"yes!"
Half an hour later, Guishen and his men quietly sneaked out of Chang'an City and quickly headed towards Lantian County.
…
At sunset.
Du He and others have arrived at the hills about thirty miles away from Chang'an City in the northwest of Lantian County.
Du He immediately ordered everyone to set up tents and prepare to establish a temporary stronghold here.
After all the tents were set up and everyone ate dry food, they began to investigate under the leadership of Du He and Mu Zongsi.
It is said to be a survey, but in fact there is no high-tech equipment to assist it. It is entirely based on experience and observation.
The craftsmen held shovels and iron drills as tall as one person in their hands. Then, under the command of Mu Zongsi, they inserted the iron drill into the ground from time to time, and then pulled it out to observe the color change of the soil stained on the iron drill.
At the same time, Mu Zongsi also sent people to search nearby to see if there were villages. If there were villages, he would ask local villagers whether there was black soil around them.
Black soil is what coal was called in this era.
I worked hard until dark, only to explore a mile or two, but found nothing.
Du He gave the order and everyone returned to the camp.
Just when everyone was eating dry food, they saw Xu Zhengdao, who had disappeared not long ago, come back carrying two wolves.
These were two fat wild wolves. They were fat and strong. They looked like the tyrants in the mountains. They would usually be kings and hegemons in this deep mountain, but they still couldn't escape Xu Zhengdao's archery skills.
Xu Zhengdao said proudly: "Brothers, let's eat roasted wolf meat tonight!"
Everyone cheered.
Eating meat has always been a luxury for many people present.
When Du He saw the two wolves, he simply said: "Roasting wolf meat is such a waste, why not have a pot of wolf soup tonight."
"good!"
Under the command of Du He, several craftsmen who had previously worked as butchers immediately started to work. In a short time, they skinned and shaved the two wolves, cleaned them, and put them into a large iron pot that had already boiled water.
Stew.
Although there were only a few simple spices, the smell of wolf meat spread everywhere, making everyone drool.
at the same moment.
In the distant mountain forest, under the moonlight, more than thirty people can be vaguely seen buried here.
The leader is none other than the ghosts and gods.
