Chapter 1028: 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.

Modernly proven iron ore resources, Shanxi Province has 3.546 billion tons of

usable reserves and 514 million tons of hard-to-use reserves, ranking 4th in

the country, which does not include the Shanxi type which is widely

distributed but has not been surveyed. 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, and it was the state 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 the eyes of Fu Bin, 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 okay, but if there is no charcoal, it's

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...Fubo, why is charcoal useful...oh oh! I see! But you don't need to

worry, Fubo, charcoal is useful to me, and coal is also useful!"

When Li Zexuan just wanted to ask why charcoal is useful but coal is useless,

some memories of his predecessor suddenly emerged. He quickly swallowed the

words that had 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 coal mines in China 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

were the mature stage of coal development and utilization; the Sui and Tang

Dynasties were the stage of general development and rapid progress in coal

development and utilization; The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the heyday of

ancient coal development and utilization.

But it should be noted that the above is coal, mainly refers to charcoal, not

coal, at least before the Song Dynasty, coal was not used on a large scale!

Because untreated coal excavated from coal mines is difficult to fully burn on

the one hand, and on the other hand, a large amount of soot will be emitted

when this kind of coal is burned, so people would rather burn firewood than

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 Tang’s Kang Pian’s Records of Dramas, when the sons of Luoyang

(Luoyang) magnates use coal for cooking, they must first smelt the coal to

burn off the flue gas, which is called cooked charcoal or charcoal. Then use

this kind of charcoal to cook rice. This kind of coking is relatively close 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, the processing and

utilization of raw coal in our country entered a new stage, and the use of

coal was 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

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 glared suddenly, 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 before, what's the matter?"

Fu Bin scratched his head and replied: "Master, it is like this! When we first

arrived in Yifang County, we were spotted by local scorpions! Those scorpions

listened to our accent and knew that we were a few of us. Those who came from

Chang'an wanted to collect tolls from us! Biaozi was too angry, so he summoned

his brothers to beat up the ruffians!

Originally it’s 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, the Biaozi Kungfu is better than the servants. Much higher, he

ran away taking advantage of the chaos. Two days later, the county magistrate

arraigned a few of us, which was actually just a cutscene.

In the public hall, those gangsters became good people, but we became bullies

who were bullying and fearing hard work. The county magistrate and the county

magistrate didn't give us the opportunity to argue at all. In a few words, we

were sent 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 soldiers to the Lanzhou Municipal 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 choice

but to indulge his son to raise slaves and disturb public order. He was

dismissed and investigated by the provincial governor of Lanzhou. Yifang

County Cheng was not spared either! After the incident broke out, the few of

us searched for mineral veins in Yifang County, and we never encountered

obstacles again! "

After listening to Fubin, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Li Zexuan said

strangely: "Hey! There are still such things? This Lanzhou governor is not

bad! Xiao Bin, you have worked hard this time!"

"Huh! Lord Hou don't have to sympathize with this kid! I don't know if you

change into ordinary clothes and low-key, for fear that others don't know that

you came from Chang'an City! There are so many people going to Yifang County,

why don't those scumbags find other people? Do you have to find a few of you?

Didn’t you take the blame?"

Fu Bo snorted coldly and criticized mercilessly.

Fubin's face was suddenly embarrassed, and it was obvious that Fubo's words

touched his pain.

Li Zexuan glanced at Fu Bin, and then he laughed: "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 shouldn't go out today? Bin, they

didn't break the law or discipline, and they couldn't help but fight back when

they were bullied by the ground rascals?

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 merit!

Haha! "
