Chapter 898: Taocheng Prison
Yelu Chongguang returned to Taocheng from Qingyuan, and Liangchuan improved it against the coal stove.
Yelu Chongguang looked at Liang Chuan as if he was crazy, and he would tinker with the carpenters and blacksmiths when he got up, and he didn't know where the fun was.
The blowing thing is a bit interesting. Shake it with your hands and the wind from the blowing mouth will blow out continuously. The coal stove air inlet will be installed with this thing, which will burn very vigorously.
But if you want to boil water and rice, isn’t it the same as putting it on a coal stove as it is on ordinary coal? Anyway, the fire is so strong that it will not kill people when it is burned!
Anyway, he felt that this thing had no market in the south. There were too many trees in the south. Every household could burn a little firewood for ten days and half a month when they went to the mountain to make some firewood. The city might be a little rare, but the firewood was so cheap. Many people would carry it to the city to sell it every day.
Moreover, there is a new type of firewood stove in Qingyuan City. That thing is a good thing. It can save fire when it is burned. It has this thing, but who cares about coal stoves? It’s so boring.
To be honest, everyone would give a thumbs up when Liang Chuan made something before, but this time, none of them applauded him, and it was incredible to look at him.
Yelu Chongguang couldn't bear to interrupt Liang Chuan's interests and hobbies, so he could only report on his work.
"Mr. Su has already agreed with General Si Fangxingsi and Gao, that he plans to send a group of prisoners to this Taocheng, and plans to build a prison camp here, and in the future it will be the new prison of Quanzhou Prefecture!"
Liang Chuan never expected that there would be this happening. Su Wei was indeed a man of old age and wanted to get such a bad idea. It was so bad.
Who are those in the prison? As long as you don’t have to sentence it for a day, it will be free labor. Liang Chuan is still thinking that it is too dangerous under the mine. Tianxiong Army is his treasure. If a mine accident occurs, the loss will be great.
He didn't dare to go outside to recruit villagers to mine with great fanfare. They were afraid that they would be not strict, and they were worried that they would be worried about going to this coal mine, so it would be difficult to deal with if they got up to make trouble.
Now, Su Wei brought these prisoners over, and Liang Chuan, the prison in Weiyuan Tower, has also been in. There are so many people inside. In any place with good economic development, if there are more people in the world, there will be more people causing trouble! The prison in Weiyuan Tower is crowded, and Gao Chun has long had the idea of urging Zhao Weixian to rebuild a prison. Now that Su Wei comes forward, Zhao Weixian should agree very readily.
These people don't have to pay their wages!
Liang Chuan asked, "Have Mr. Su done the plan?"
"Mr. Su said that he has grasped everything in general. Just wait for the boss to go back and finalize some details with him. Don't worry about coal transportation. He has a solution!"
Liang Chuan smiled: "This old fox is indeed my Zhang Liang!"
The coal stove burned for a day and cracked with a loud bang. Liang Chuan, who was about to be happy, frowned again.
After the coal fire was extinguished, Liang Chuan picked up the inner wall of the furnace and looked at it. The wall of the furnace was made of blue bricks. The inner wall made of kaolin and yellow mud sintered with yellow mud became extremely hard. Seeing this thing Liang Chuan slapped his thigh heavily and thought to himself: Why did I forget such an important raw material for production!
But now is not the time to do other things, Liang Chuan must first improve the coal stove!
The strength in the coal stove is OK, it is the brick outside
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
It is easy to dissipate, so just go to the blacksmith shop to make a layer of iron to wrap it up?
The blacksmith shop does not have that much energy to shoot iron sheets. Such a fine iron sheet must be hit continuously with a hammer and human power. It will be thick and thin in the end. They only have so much energy. The little apprentice of the iron shop in Taocheng County is still a child. How can you bear it? You don’t have to take any other work?
Liang Chuan was helpless and finally asked the blacksmith to make a few iron bars and just hold the coal stove first!
Not to mention, with the iron bars, the strength of the coal stove instantly increased by several levels. After returning for a long time, although there were minor cracks, the overall strength was still there and the function of the coal stove was not lost!
This coal stove is made and it is really burnt. It is easy to change coal balls. It is not like throwing coal in and burning it directly. It is often burned into stones below without flammability, but it is not convenient to replace it. New coal can only be piled on it, which reduces the combustion rate a lot, and the fire is easy to extinguish!
It takes another half a day to ignite the fire as soon as it is extinguished. It is really annoying! The people of Tianxiong Army are exhausted every day when they go to the mine. They have to raise the fire and cook by themselves after leaving the mine. Who is not annoying?
The coal stove invented by Liang Chuan is different. If you seal the air inlet under the coal stove when you are not in use, then if you keep it for no more than three days, a new honeycomb coal can be burned for two or three days. Open the air inlet, hold the blower wooden box and turn it a few times, and the fire will get up immediately. It is easy to make a fire and cook!
Everyone can see the usefulness of this coal stove now!
What’s even more amazing is that the cinders are soaked in some places where the mine entrances come out. When you step on them, it will be muddy. If you break the cinders and sprinkle them on them, it will be much smoother and easier to walk!
For a time, Liang Chuan's new invention went from being despised by everyone to being sought after by everyone. There were hundreds of people from Tianxiong Army in the Tianhushan Mine. They followed suit and pulled out some of their hands to press the dug coal mine into coal powder, and then pressed it into coal balls. They neatly formed a large open space!
The coal stove has been made more than thirty more! In just a few days, the coal stove has become the main force in cooking!
It seems to be a good thing, otherwise everyone would not be chasing this thing!
Liang Chuan himself lamented, who didn’t have a coal stove back then, otherwise he could still cook?
It was not until the emergence of natural gas that the honeycomb coal was knocked down, otherwise this thing would be very common in the 21st century.
The first batch of honeycomb coal was coated with a layer of yellow mud, which was like bricks. It was loaded into a carriage and drove towards Qingyuan. Liang Chuan took Cao Buxiu to escort the carriage himself.
There were really a lot of investigations on the way, but no one could have thought that this brick-like thing was coal. Taocheng was too poor. If there were minerals, it would have been poor for so many years!
When Liang Chuan returned to Qingyuan, the first thing he did was to call Gao Chun and Si Fangxing together, and Su Wei was accompanying him.
He said something straight, not afraid that these two people would betray him.
Gao Chun's brother Gao Guan is now completely with Liang Chuan, so it is impossible to betray him. I believe Gao Guan also gave Gao Chun's background to Liang Chuan's younger brother Liang Chuan in private. Si Fangxing is completely the Land Lord raised by Liang Chuan. If Liang Chuan doesn't want to give him these benefits, he will be able to support another person!
The two of them are now living by Liang Chuan. Su Wei found them and said they wanted to build a prison camp in the place where birds do not shit in Taocheng, but they didn't dare to mention it without saying a word!
A table of people sit down
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Su Wei looked at Liang Chuan, who had eaten a lot of rice these days, and said, "I heard that you have developed a new thing again?"
"You still have such a good ear when you get old. This thing is called a coal stove. In the future, our port can be promoted first. There are so many people coming and going to the port and there is no place to set up a stove. It is the most suitable to use a coal stove!"
"Can this coal be sold? If it is easier to use than wood firewood, why not transport it back and sell it in large quantities?"
Liang Chuan and Su Wei indeed came to the same place and said, "I think that's exactly what I think. It seems that we have thought of one thing! But the problem is how to solve the transportation!"
Liang Chuan explained the method Cao Buxiu said to Su Wei, and Su Wei commented: "This method is good, but after all, it is not a long-term solution. After a long time, someone will always look at it, so I thought of another method, which is to bring people from Quanzhou Prefecture in!"
"Tell me how to do it!"
Su Wei was not afraid to say directly in front of Gao Chun and Si Fangxing: "We blacksmiths need a lot of coal on Liuao Island. You only went to Taocheng mine to dig it out this time, but our people can't dig coal in person. It's better to use those dead prisoners to dig coal. First, there is no need to spend our money, and second, there is an official watching them for us. The most important thing is this transportation!"
Liang Chuan heard some clues and said, "Lao Wei, what do you mean..."
"We must transport these coals in the name of the government!"
Si Fangxing and Gao Chun were sweating in a cold sweat on the side.
It’s okay for Gao Chun to know that Liang Chuan did all the big things that were beheaded. His brother is now Liang Chuan asked him to do whatever he wanted, and he also said that he could not rebel against Liang Chuan’s intentions, so he didn’t realize that he was too surprised.
Si Fangxing couldn't do it anymore. He didn't drink too much this time. The sober man looked at Su Wei and Liang Chuan digging coal and asking their government officials to help transport something. He was so scared that he was about to jump out. He still needed a lot of coal. What was Liang Chuan doing?
"Sanlang, what are you doing?"
Si Fangxing was a little scared, he was afraid that the wealth he had won would turn into a bubble!
Liang Chuan said: "It's nothing. I just saw that the firewood in the city is transported in a considerable amount every day, so I developed a new coal stove, which is just burning coal!"
Si Fangxing finally realized it: "You dug coal privately?"
Liang Chuan waved his hand disregardly and said, "What are you saying, Lao Xing? I bought that mountain. Why did I dig out a few taels of crushed coal? Is it illegal?"
What Liang Chuan did at Qingyuan Port back then was thousands of times more guilty than this, and that was not a big deal. Now it would be impossible to dig a little coal in the court. When did Si Fangxing's courage really become so small? How can he do big things?
Several people couldn't help but become a little contemptuous. Besides, what's not nonsense if you can dig coal in the south?
Si Fangxing, what are you anxious about?
Si Fangxing seemed to realize his incompetence. To put it bluntly, this matter could not be put on the table. Even if the land of his family was dug out, it would be his family. Unless the court opened its own mine, there were too many things in the northwest, who could dig it all?
"That's not, it's just what Sanlang, what do you want to do? Brother Gao Chun also agrees with your approach. There's nothing to say about Prince Zhao's place. Taocheng is a bit far away, and it's just right to accommodate these prisoners!"
