Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1009: 1 twists and turns!
Li Zexuan didn't know that Yifang County was normal, but if he talked about Lan County, he would definitely know.
Modern proven iron ore resources. Shanxi Province has a usable reserve of 3.546 billion tons and an unusable reserve of 514 million tons, ranking 4th in the country, not including the fact that it is widely distributed but has not been surveyed. Shanxi-style hematite.
Among them, 89.3% of the identified iron ore resources are concentrated in Lanxian District (2 billion tons) and Wutai Mountain (1.625 billion tons).
In addition to iron ore resources, Lan County is also rich in other mineral resources, such as coal, iron, manganese, sulfur, marble, granite, etc.! It can be said that this is a real mineral county!
And Lan County was called Yifang County during the Zhenguan Period of the Tang Dynasty. It was the capital of Lanzhou at this time!
Therefore, it is not surprising that Fubin can find two iron mines, two sulfur mines and a large coal mine in Yifang County!
"Thank you, Master!"
In Fu Bin's eyes, Li Zexuan is a real big man. Now that he can be praised by Li Zexuan, this guy is so happy to find him!
"Ahem! Master! Forgive me, this coal mine is very difficult to mine. If you can extract a lot of charcoal, it's good to say, but if there is no charcoal, all coal, then you will lose a lot!"
Fu Bo is obviously more stable and takes a longer-term view, he said to Li Zexuan anxiously.
"Uh... Fu Bo, why charcoal is useful... Oh oh! I understand! But Fu Bo, don't worry about it, for me, charcoal is useful, as is coal!"
When Li Zexuan wanted to ask why charcoal is useful but coal is useless, some memories of his predecessor suddenly appeared. He swallowed back what had already reached his lips, and then hurriedly said.
The memory of 's predecessor told him that even though people had begun to use charcoal at this time, coal had not yet become popular!
The history of ancient Chinese coal mines can be divided into four stages: the pre-Qin period was the stage of coal discovery and early development and utilization; the Western Han Dynasty to the Southern and Northern Dynasties was the stage of maturity of coal development and utilization; the Sui and Tang Dynasties were the general development and progress of coal development and utilization. Progressive stage; Ming and Qing dynasties were the heyday of ancient coal development and utilization.
But it should be noted that what I mentioned above is coal, which mainly refers to charcoal, not coal. At least before the Song Dynasty, coal was not used on a large scale!
Because untreated coal dug from coal mines is difficult to fully burn on the one hand, on the other hand, a large amount of soot will be emitted when this kind of coal burns, so people would rather burn firewood than Willing to burn coal!
Because firewood emits less smoke than coal!
It was not until the late Tang Dynasty that the technology of coking with coal appeared.
According to the Tang Dynasty’s Kang Piao’s "Lot of Dramas", Luo (Luoyang) Zhong Hao Gui children, when cooking with coal, first smelt the coal to burn off the flue gas, which is called cooked charcoal or Refining charcoal and then cooking rice with this refining charcoal. This kind of coke refining is closer to coke, but since it is not fired intentionally and consciously, it is only the prototype of coke.
Until the Song Dynasty coking technology was perfected, my country's raw coal processing and utilization has entered a new stage, and the use of coal has gradually expanded. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the development and utilization of coal in my country has reached its peak. Similar to the previous dictatorship of salt and iron, coal mining rights have also been nationalized, and coal taxes have begun to be collected!
"What? Master can use raw coal?"
Fubin didn't think there was anything, but Fubo stared sharply, sat up straight from the sofa, shocked.
Anyone with a little bit of common sense knows what an amazing wealth that a coal mine can bring if raw coal can be used!
Li Zexuan did not deny it, nodded happily, and said: "I know some ways! So this coal mine must be mined! Whether it is charcoal or coal, we want it all!"
Fubo excitedly said: "If the young master really has a way to use raw coal, of course this coal mine must be mined!"
Li Zexuan smiled, he pondered for a long while, looked at Fubin, and asked: "Xiaobin, you said you encountered some small twists and turns in Yifang County earlier, what's the matter?"
Fubin scratched his head and replied: "Master, it's like this! When we first arrived in Yifang County, we were spotted by local scorpions! Those scorpions listened to our accent and knew us. Some were from Chang'an, so they wanted to collect tolls from us! Biaozi was not so angry, so he summoned his brothers to beat up the ruffians!
This is nothing, but who knows that the ruffians have something to do with the son of the county magistrate of Yifang County. The son of the county magistrate, indiscriminately, let the servants take us back to the prison, but fortunately, Biaozi Kungfu Much higher than those yamen, he fled in the chaos. Two days later, the county magistrate arraigned a few of us, which was actually just a cutscene.
In the court, the gangsters became good people, but we became bullies who were bullying and fearful of hardship. The county magistrate and the county magistrate didn’t give us the opportunity to argue at all, so they had to send us to a mine in the county for hard labor. !
Fortunately, Biaozi came in time and brought the long history from Lanzhou Governor's Mansion! It turns out that in those two days he took your young master's warrant to move the soldiers to the Lanzhou Provincial Government! At that time, the governor of Lanzhou was not in the government office, so Changshi came here!
The following things are logical, the Yifang County magistrate has no way to teach his son, connivable his son to raise slaves, disturb public order, and was dismissed by the Lanzhou provincial governor for investigation, and Yifang County is not spared! After the incident broke out, the few of us searched for mineral veins in Yifang County, and we never encountered obstacles again! "
Listen to Fubin~IndoMTL.com~Li Zexuan said strangely: "Hey! There are still such things? This Lanzhou governor is not bad! Xiaobin, you have worked hard this time!"
"Huh! Master Hou doesn’t have to sympathize with this kid! I don’t know if you change into ordinary clothes and keep a low profile, for fear that others don’t know that you came from Chang'an City! There are so many people who go to Yifang County, why don’t you look for them Other people, do you have to look for a few of you? Didn’t you take the blame?"
Fu Bo snorted coldly, criticizing mercilessly.
Fubin's face was suddenly embarrassed, and it was obvious that Fubo's words touched his pain.
Li Zexuan glanced at Fubin, and then he smiled: "Fu Bo, you can’t say that. This person was suddenly knocked to the ground while walking on the road. Can you blame the person who was knocked down should not go out today? Xiaobin and the others did not break the law or discipline, and they can’t help but fight back when they are bullied by the ruffian?
I told them before they left that they are not allowed to cause trouble, but they must not be afraid of it! I think they did very well this time! Besides, this time Xiaobin and the others accidentally helped the people of Yifang County in addition to a major harm, not only without fault, but also with merit! Haha! "
