Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Coal has a wide range of uses. For industrial purposes, it can be used to make steel and iron. For civilian purposes, it can be used for cooking and boiling water. Generally, briquettes and briquettes are used.  .  .  Qian Xiaoxing immediately asked the people to find some coal, smash it, add some yellow mud, mix it together, shape it into the size of table tennis balls, and dry it in the sun.  The people gathered around curiously, and Qian Xiaoxing explained to everyone: "This is called briquettes. Once dried, you can make a fire for cooking." "It's strange that this can still be burned." The people were not too worried either.  Believing it, the crowd started talking.  Seeing the people present, Qian Xiaoxing did not forget about the recruitment of female soldiers, and said to everyone: "Men can mine coal to make money, and women can join our army. Not only will they be responsible for food and housing, but they will also have five wages per month."  The pay for both armies is not low. If you are willing to participate, you can sign up with Sima Chuchu. She is the leader of our Sima Yeying Regiment. " The people immediately started discussing, and many people had seen the style of the Yeying Regiment.  , when he attacked Hu Jun, he was also very powerful in horseback riding and archery. Everyone expressed their intention to send women of the right age in their families to join the army.  After making arrangements for Sima Chuchu to recruit female soldiers, Qian Xiaoxing and Ling Yi led everyone to dig coal. About three miles outside of Yubi City, there was an open-pit coal mine, and the ground for several miles was pitch black.  After Qian Xiaoxing taught the people to identify high-quality coal, everyone picked up their hoes and started digging.  Qian Xiaoxing saw that those hoes were all made of copper. Although the coal on the surface was weathered and easier to dig, the bottom was much harder and it would be difficult to dig with copper. It seemed that some iron tools must be made.  That's it.  Ling Yi also tried to dig and said: "Brother-in-law, digging a hoe can make money. This money is really easy to make." Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said: "If you really want to turn this coal into money, you have to rely on  You, in addition to making iron, these coals are also made into briquettes and sold to people's homes. There is definitely a market for this. It costs a woodcutter a day's wages to cut a load of firewood and sell it.  As long as our price is not too expensive, people can accept it," Ling Yi said confidently.  Qian Xiaoxing agreed: "But the bulk is still used for smelting. Those places where gold and silver are refined can be promoted. This depends on Brother Ling." "No problem, I will try my best to expand sales." Ling Yi confidently  replied.  Qian Xiaoxing thought that there were still six cities that needed to be used for poverty alleviation, and said: "We can't stay here for too long. There are other cities waiting for us to go. When the time comes, we will arrange for someone to manage this place. I think we will use local people. When we get back  I'll go recruit him when the city is over." The two returned to Yubi City. Qian Xiaoxing approached the old man and asked, "Who in your city has some authority?" The old man thought for a moment and said, "That should be me."  Xiaoxing saw that the old man was too old, so he had to ask: "Apart from you?" "That should be my son." The old man replied seriously.  "Oh, call me and have a look." Qian Xiaoxing ordered.  After a while, the old man's son called. He was about thirty years old, with a loyal face. He introduced himself: "I have met General Qian. My name is Jin De. What does the general want from me?" "Jin De,  It's a good name. It seems that we will make a lot of money." Qian Xiaoxing praised it and said: "Our Qian Group is planning to set up a coal mine in Yubi City, but now we are missing a manager.  Are you willing to let me do it?" Jin De couldn't help but ask: "Is it just to manage everyone's coal mining?" Qian Xiaoxing explained: "Yes, it is to arrange everyone's work, and then record their wages and be responsible for the incoming and outgoing goods.  "Okay, since General Qian thinks highly of me, I will learn from the beginning and work hard to do well." Jin De was not humble and agreed.  Qian Xiaoxing said happily: "Now my Qian Group has another coal mine. I'm very happy. Jinde, you don't have to worry. I will send someone to teach you how to manage it when the time comes." Qian Group, in  He is also very famous among businessmen. Jin De has also heard of it. Today he saw that he could join the Qian Group and said excitedly: "Thank you, General Qian, for your cultivation. I will definitely do a good job." Qian Xiaoxing laughed and said  "Since you have joined my Qian Group, you can't call me General Qian. If you want to call me Chairman, you can also call me Director Qian." "Director Qian, do you understand Qian?" Jin De thought for a moment and couldn't help but say  "The chairman really knows money very well. He can make so much money." Everyone laughed after hearing this. Qian Xiaoxing saw that Sima Chuchu was recruiting soldiers in the distance. He buried his head in registration and walked over and asked: "Recruitment  "How many female soldiers have you recruited?" Sima Chuchu said angrily: "They also said they were recruiting soldiers for the Wild Sakura Regiment, but you are nowhere to be seen. You can see how many they have recruited." After that, Sima Chuchu said.?Chu Chu threw the notebook over.  Qian Xiaoxing took the book and read it, and saw that thirty people were registered on one page. After flipping through more than twenty pages, there were more than six hundred people registered. He praised: "Not bad, keep up the hard work." Yubi City  The coal mine began to operate, and the excavated coal was piled up like a hill. Qian Xiaoxing had also notified Huang Wenqiang to complete the laying of wooden rails here as soon as possible to facilitate transportation.  With coal, Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but think of steam trains. If they could be built, transportation would be much more convenient.  Qian Xiaoxing still knows a little about the principles of steam engines. After all, he has learned it in physics class. When the water in the steam engine boils, the air in the cylinder expands rapidly, pushing the piston in the cylinder. The piston drives the axle connected to the back.  The left and right sides of the lever it is connected to are the wheels of the train, which makes the train move.  Qian Xiaoxing had nothing to do, so he drew a sketch. This steam engine is not so easy to make, but as long as you know the principles and slowly modify it, it will be possible to realize it one day.  For this task of manufacturing steam locomotives, Qian Xiaoxing thought of Yang Sishi. He used to be a vehicle manufacturer and was good at vehicle manufacturing. Now he is an arsenal and has completed many sophisticated weapons such as sniper bows. Compare this  The parts of a steam engine are relatively simple.  Thinking of this, Qian Xiaoxing not only drew the picture, but also wrote down the purpose in detail, and wrote more than ten chapters. After completing it, he immediately sent it to Yang Sishi in the arsenal for development to be completed.  Ling Yi saw that Qian Xiaoxing had been drawing for a day. Whenever Qian Xiaoxing started drawing, there must be something new. Of course, Ling Yi would not miss it. He asked: "Brother-in-law, you have been drawing for so long this time, you must be a  It's a good thing." "This time's stuff will definitely open your eyes." Qian Xiaoxing said mysteriously.  Ling Yi said happily: "Really? What is it? Fresher than air conditioners and tricycles?" Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said: "Air conditioners and tricycles are nothing compared to them. Brother Ling, if I  "I can pull a wooden rail car without a horse. Do you think this thing is good?" "I can pull a wooden rail car without a horse?" Ling Yi asked with a face full of surprise: "Is there really such a thing?"  "Yes, of course!" Qian Xiaoxing said with certainty: "But this thing is still in the research and development stage. If it is really going to be completed, it will probably take a while. When it is done, I will let you see it." "Well,  Then you must call me!" Ling Yi looked forward to it.  Qian Xiaoxing thought that if he could make a steam locomotive, he could also make a steam car. Then he would really want to drive one around
