    Going to Dongsheng to dig coal cannot be done by the government. If Chen Feng reaches there personally, then maybe Zhu Yuanzhang will be wary, so it can only be through the hands of businessmen.  Copy this address to browse%77%77%77%2e%62%78%73%2e%63%63 Moreover, although businessmen value profits the most, on the Mongolian grasslands, they will be harassed by Mongolians at any time.  , merchants who want to do business there must weigh and weigh in advance.  Therefore, only businessmen who are protected by sufficient force dare to go there.  Chen Feng suggested that Zhu Yuanzhang send Feng Guosheng as the general to conquer there, which was also the intention. Now, the relationship between Feng Guosheng and Chen Feng is also very good. As long as Chen Feng says hello to Feng Guosheng and asks Feng Guosheng to send someone to take care of the caravan,  Then, Feng Guosheng will definitely not let Chen Feng down.  Hearing Chen Feng say that he wanted his father to go into mining, Luo Guanzhong shook his head intuitively: "Your Majesty, my father, let him enjoy his old age in peace. As for joining the mining business now, I'm afraid he no longer has the energy." Hearing  Luo Guanzhong objected so bluntly, Chen Feng was stunned at first, and then he understood that Luo Guanzhong made a clear distinction between public and private matters, and was unwilling to take advantage of himself because of this matter.  "Ben, you also know that we are in urgent need of a large amount of coal. Now, I have found a new source of coal. However, I cannot dig it myself. I can only find someone to dig it for me. This person must be us.  It's a difficult task for you to do it yourself. Since your father is old, forget it." Chen Feng said.  Hearing what Chen Feng said, Luo Guanzhong reacted: "Your Majesty, in that case, I am willing to go to my father and let him take over this arduous task. Are we digging coal in Shanxi?" When it comes to coal mines, everyone can think of it.  Yes, it was Shanxi, so Luo Guanzhong immediately asked.  If it was Shanxi, that would be easy. Chen Feng shook his head: "No, it's in Dongsheng Prefecture." Dongsheng Prefecture?  On the grassland?  Luo Guanzhong immediately understood the difficulty of the task and said: "Your Majesty, that place is still the territory of the Tatars for the time being." "What, are you afraid?" Chen Feng asked.  Luo Guanzhong immediately replied firmly: "Of course I'm not afraid. I'm just confused. How could the prince know that there are coal mines there?" "I not only know that there are coal mines there, I also know that the coal mines there are very shallow. Open the cover  There is a coal mine underneath several feet of soil, so this time there is no need to dig a mine shaft. The soil above can be dug out, loaded onto a truck, and transported away," Chen Feng said.  Chen Feng said it so simply, Luo Guanzhong knew that since the prince said so, it must be like this.  Luo Guanzhong could not have any doubts, he had to accept it with certainty.  Although there are coal mines there, once they are dug out, will they be harassed by the Tatars?  As if he knew what Luo Guanzhong was going to ask, Chen Feng continued: "Before coming here, I have already met with the emperor. Within half a month, the imperial court will send out troops to attack Dongsheng Prefecture and completely turn it into a  Our Ming Dynasty's territory." When Chen Feng said this, Luo Guanzhong felt completely relieved: "Your Majesty, I will send someone to Shanxi immediately to find my father and let him take on this important task." "Leave it to your father.  , I am completely relieved." Chen Feng said: "First, allocate three thousand taels of silver from our income and give it to your father. There must be investment in hiring people for mining in the early stage, and then we will send our army.  It shouldn¡¯t be too many, about three hundred people, pretending to be workers, protecting this team.¡± On the surface, it has nothing to do with Chen Feng, it¡¯s just a businessman¡¯s business, but in fact, it¡¯s all Chen Feng¡¯s behind the scenes.  Without the support of Chen Feng, no businessman would dare to mine there.  Now that Chen Feng has completely planned it, Luo Guanzhong knew that he had no room for objection at all: "Yes, I will do it immediately." Chen Feng patted Luo Guanzhong on the shoulder: "Ben, be strong without desire. You have done a great job.  Well, if you don't avoid suspicion, you have people around you who can take on important responsibilities, why not use it?" Luo Guanzhong lowered his head: "The prince has taught you a lesson." In the past, Luo Guanzhong deliberately avoided selecting talents who had anything to do with him.  He thought that if these people gradually rose up, they might gradually become arrogant and domineering because of their relationship, and thus would not abide by the laws of the country. Chen Feng's words suddenly woke him up.  ¡°I went a little too far.  At Luo Guanzhong¡¯s place, after asking about some government affairs, Chen Feng came out.  "Dong, dong" A bell suddenly rang throughout the city. Chen Feng raised his head. It was a bell tower at the highest point of the Yangzhou government office.  With the support of Chen Feng, ChenWherever the wind belongs, bell towers are built everywhere, and people are accustomed to relying on bell towers to confirm the time.  Now, it¡¯s Shen time.  "Your Majesty, after the bell tower is built, it does feel much more convenient." On the side of Chen Feng, Luo Guanzhong said this when he saw that Chen Feng was looking at the bell tower in a trance.  Chen Feng nodded: "Yes." "George, what are you talking about?" At this moment, a voice came from the distance.  Chen Feng looked around and saw a blond guy with his feet off the ground.  There was a pole between the two pulleys, and he rode on the pole. After sliding for a while, the speed slowed down, and then he pushed on the ground with his own feet. In this way, he had a great time.  This guy is George, and behind George, there are James and Sarri, watching George's performance, and then asking him.  Chen Feng came to Yangzhou by boat, and James and Surrey, who had nothing to do, followed him. When they got ashore, they happened to find George. When the three met, it was quite lively, and George  He began to show off his new invention. Now, George is responsible for building bell towers everywhere. In the past few days, he happened to go to Yangzhou to see whether the clock tower he built was accurate.  George performed very well. He just happened to skate to the yamen gate and was shocked when he saw Chen Feng.  "Wang, your lord" George only looked at Chen Feng, forgetting the mount under his crotch, and the mount rushed straight towards the stone lion at the yamen entrance.  "Hurry up and turn the corner!" Chen Feng shouted.  George tried very hard to get down from the top, but still failed. He only heard a bang, the mount hit the stone lion, the front wheel was broken, and George fell down and chewed mud.  The rear wheel that fell to the ground is still spinning.  At this time, Chen Feng saw that the simple bicycle under George's crotch was really simple enough. It only had two wheels and a wooden stick. The front wheel could not turn. It was not even enough for a child to play with.  However, now, it is a huge invention. Chen Feng seems to have thought of something immediately in his mind.  "My lord, how offensive." George stood up and limped to Chen Feng.  ¡°If it hadn¡¯t been for seeing that this man was acquainted with the prince, the yamen guard guarding the yamen gate would probably have punched and kicked the foreigner.  The stone lion that crashed into the government office clearly showed disrespect to the government.  James and Sarri also came over to meet Chen Feng.  "George, what is this?" Chen Feng asked George.  Hearing Chen Feng's question, George said proudly: "This is a new walking tool I invented. From now on, everyone will not need to ride a horse. As long as you ride this, you can travel around without eating grass or drinking water."  "Forget it, George, you are just a joke." James came up and said, "Look, you bumped into a stone lion in front of the prince. If everyone else is like you, why are you playing?"  It's just a sideshow in a circus. "No eating grass or drinking water, which made James strongly disagree.  Even Sarri scoffed at this.  Chen Feng smiled. The mount under George's crotch is actually the prototype of a bicycle. It only has two wheels and one pole. It cannot turn and cannot provide continuous power. It is okay on flat roads, but on mountain roads, then  It is simply a tool for suicide.  However, if it can be improved Chen Feng thought for a while, George is a clock maker anyway, so he is very proficient in machinery. With George's experience, maybe he can really make something like a bicycle. Although this thing  There is no special benefit. After all, the surrounding road conditions are restricting it, so it can only be a toy in the city. However, there is no disadvantage.  So, Chen Feng said: "George, this toy of yours needs to be modified. The front wheel needs to be made into a rotating shaft to reach the top, and then use a horizontal bar, hold it with both hands on both sides, so that it can be turned.  " A bicycle that cannot be turned is of no use. It must have a handlebar. What Chen Feng said is this simple handlebar.  After Chen Feng said something, George suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, if there were handlebars, I wouldn't have hit this stone lion just now." With the handlebars, I can turn. Chen Feng smiled and continued.  : "In addition to the handlebars, you also need to make them longer on both sides of the front wheel, and make pedals on both sides, just like the pedals pedaled by sailors in our cars and ships." With the handlebars, you can turn.  Pedaling allows you to ride forward directly without sliding.  "My lord, you are simply a god!" The simple principle was easy to understand as soon as it was said. George understood it quickly. This sudden realization made him extremely happy.  &nbsp"The last thing is, if you want to be able to stop, you have to install a brake on the wheel." Chen Feng said: "Find two pieces of animal skin, touch the wheel, and use the connecting rod to connect to the handlebar.  As long as the lever is pulled, the animal skin rubs against the wheel, and it stops. "At this time, there is no rubber, so Chen Feng can only use animal skin instead, but the result is the same.  "My lord, if you come to Great Britain, you will definitely be worshiped by the people." George was completely convinced.  "Your Majesty is in the Central Plains, and now he is worshiped by all the people." James was very unhappy when he saw George's appearance, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a new idea, which is a hundred times better than George's shabby car."
