After all, Yuchi Baolin was also the son of Duke Wu. If it hadn't been for killing Dou Gongde this time, after returning to Beijing, Li Er had already planned to make him a school captain, which would make him a sixth-grade official. He would be a big shot in the local area.
But now Du He actually wants to send himself to dig coal?
Yuchi Baolin felt that the gap was a bit big.
Du He turned around and asked with a smile: "Why, you don't want to?"
Yuchi Baolin scratched her head: "It's not that I don't want to, it's just..."
"I understand what you mean. If you don't want to, I have a better job for you, but it will have to wait a few days."
"You want to go out?"
drive.
Outside, the sound of horse hooves sounded.
A strong horse galloped over and stopped at the door. Lu Bu turned over and dismounted.
"Master, everything is ready and ready to go." Lu Bu stepped forward and said respectfully.
Du He nodded and asked, "Is there any news from Lao Yuan?"
Lu Bu said: "Fei Ge Chuan Shu arrived last night. All the machines have been installed and can operate normally."
"Okay, okay, hahaha... let's go!"
Du He was in a happy mood, waved his hand and said.
Yuchi Baolin asked curiously: "Du He, where are you going?"
"Lantian Coal Mine!"
Yuchi Baolin's eyes lit up: "Can I go and have a look?"
"Okay... After a stick of incense, we will gather at the gate of Dream Group."
"good!"
Baolian went to pack her luggage in a hurry.
In fact, he didn't have much luggage, and he mainly went to say goodbye to Yuan Xiu.
This guy is a big man outside, but in front of Yuan Xiu, he is like a good boy... There is no way, if he doesn't obey, he can't play mahjong with Yuan Xiu in the middle of the night.
When Du He and others arrived at the Dream Group, they saw that Yuchi Baolin had put on a leather armor and was riding a group of green horses, with a weird and ugly big ax hanging from the horse's neck.
"Set off!"
Du He said.
The convoy set off immediately.
There were a total of twelve carriages and more than twenty horses.
In addition to Du He and Yuchi Baolin, there were also Lu Bu, Zhang Jian, Xu Zhengdao, Guishen, Cheng Yiyue and others. In the carriage, even Princess Li Yuanshu of Runan and Princess Li Lizhi of Changle were brought along.
Except for Zhang Du, Lu Yuan, Wang Erniu and a few other core members of the entire Dream Group, almost everyone else was out in force.
The reason is that a few days ago, everyone saw with their own eyes Yuan Tiangang and Li Ke setting off from the Dream Group with more than fifty carriages. Each carriage was wrapped tightly, and no one knew what was inside.
Du He then announced that Lantian Coal Mine would become the next most profitable place for Dream Group.
Everyone became interested.
It happened to be cold and there was nothing to do, so they all proposed to go to Lantian Coal Mine to have a look.
In the afternoon.
Everyone then came to Lantian Coal Mine.
From a distance, everyone could see the location of the Lantian Coal Mine, which was smoky and dusty.
What was originally a gentle mountain has now been dug into a huge hole. Looking from a distance, you can see countless people swarming around, looking like ants.
Look at the gate of Lantian Coal Mine. It is made entirely of wood. It is taller and more imposing than the city tower of Chang'an City.
The convoy has just arrived at the door.
Boom, boom, boom.
Boom, boom, boom.
Suddenly there was a violent drumbeat from behind the door.
On a tower at the top of the gate, someone suddenly shouted: "Passed the inspection and released."
Boom boom boom boom.
Two huge doors opened slowly.
A fleet of five extended carriages slowly passed by Du He and others. Each carriage was loaded with coal. The wooden carriages were very rough, and cinders fell down.
Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder even the official roads were dark along the way.
Later, Mu Zongsi came out on a fast horse to greet Du He.
Everyone followed Mu Zongsi into the Lantian Coal Mine.
As soon as he walked through the door, someone exclaimed: "Look, what is that?"
Everyone heard the sound and looked around.
I saw that on the right side of the gate, a piece of land was completely dark. Everything as far as the eye could see was coal. The most important thing was that the coal was floating up and down, like the surface of a lake.
Mu Zongsi said: "Everyone, don't panic. This is the coal sea of Lantian Coal Mine. The mined coal needs to settle in the coal sea for about half a month to remove impurities before it can be transported away."
Yuchi Baolin looked at the vast and endless sea of coal, and suddenly felt an indescribable excitement.
It's so...fucking spectacular.
Everyone continued to move forward.
When we came to the mouth of a canyon, we saw that a dam had been built behind it, forming a spectacular reservoir.
Below the embankment, someone suddenly shouted: "Get ready!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Suddenly there was a deafening sound.
Thousands of men suddenly appeared below. The crowd was divided into four groups, each pulling a rope as thick as a tree trunk. Around the crowd, there were hundreds of strong horses pulling the same rope.
This scene is even more spectacular than when Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty went to Yangzhou and used civilian men to pull boats.
As the men ran forward with loud slogans, the strong horses ran forward with all their strength. The slogans and the neighing of the horses merged into one, and a huge steel monster slowly appeared in front of everyone.
.
This guy looks like a carriage that has been enlarged countless times. It has four huge wheels. It is more than five feet tall, and its length and width are three feet and more than four feet respectively. It has eight floors in total, and there is one in the middle of each floor.
Separated by sieves made of thick iron bars, each layer is filled with coal that has just been collected from the coal sea.
Mu Zongsi said: "This is the coal washing truck invented by the young master... The raw coal mined has many impurities, including stones, soil, and rotten wood. When it is burned, a lot of smoke will appear, so it must be washed..."
No one listened to Mu Zongsi's introduction.
Everyone was shocked by this steel monster.
The huge coal washing truck slowly came to the bottom of the embankment.
Boom, boom, boom.
Boom, boom, boom.
A total of twelve large drums beat suddenly.
The men below drove their horses back one after another.
After a while, the people and horses were all evacuated cleanly, neatly and orderly, as if they had never appeared before.
On the embankment, an old man suddenly appeared. The old man held a flag more than ten feet long. He waved it violently a few times and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Open the gate and release the water!"
"throat!"
"Roar!"
The roars of the men were heard again.
Rumble.
Rumble.
In the center of the top of the dam, there turned out to be two iron gates about six feet thick and three feet high that closed together to block the water in the reservoir.
As the iron gate slowly opened.
The water gushed down violently.
Boom boom boom.
The huge water flow rushed towards the coal washing truck, making a deafening sound, like thunder.
Everyone felt that the ground was shaking.
This process lasted for a full stick of incense.
When the water in the reservoir is drained, the iron gate slams shut, and preparations are made for the next coal washing.
But the coal washing truck had to stay here for half a day, and then men towed it away.
