Da Tang: Three days later, I was frantically collecting supplies

A few days later, Li Kei found Zhang Jinbiao again.

“Your Highness, you mean that the structure of the steam engine still has to be changed?”

Li Kei nodded: “That’s right, do it according to the drawings that Benwang said, but Benwang hasn’t thought about it yet, and there are still some deficiencies that need to be changed, so this matter can’t be rushed.”

But at the moment I need a batch of iron pipes for chimneys. You still need to do a lot of coal stoves that I made the other day, and you also need a lot of iron. ”

Zhang Geng frowned: “But Your Highness, the Holy Lord means that I will assist you in making steam engines and steelmaking, but did you not say that you want to make these things?” ”

Li Ji smiled and said, “Well, King Ben asked you if qualified steel was made.” ”

Zhang Geng shook his head: “Your Highness, how can it be so easy, I haven’t burned the coke yet, there are more than ten people under me, I can’t be busy at all, the iron is very heavy!” ”

“You said it’s a coincidence, it just so happens that this king has thousands of disaster victims and strong workers to use, how many people you lack, I will deploy for you.”

Zhang Geng was stunned: “Your Highness, there are so many disaster victims, didn’t you drive them all out?” ”

“King Ben can’t bear it!”

Zhang Gengeng looked at Li Ke, and couldn’t help but praise: “Your Highness is really benevolent and generous!” However, with so many disaster victims, Xiaguan does not need much here, and more than a hundred people is already the limit. ”

“Okay, then give you a hundred people, and then make me a batch of chimneys and coal stoves.”

In addition, give you another hundred people to help you dig iron ore and save some money for iron.

King Ben also needed to give the victims something to do, so King Ben planned to let them dig coal mines. ”

“Your Highness, this…”

“After the matter, these people will leave you with the need to refine coke in the future, and there will be a lot of manpower needed.

In addition, these people are at your disposal, and you don’t have to be afraid that they will be tired.

If King Ben ignores them and becomes a displaced, it will inevitably cause chaos in Yizhou, and you and I cannot bear this responsibility. ”

Zhang Jinbiao had to nod.

Li Kei said again: “By the way, I remembered something. In addition to controlling the carbon content, steelmaking should also remove phosphorus, oxygen, sulfur and so on.

In addition, other elements can be added, and the performance is also different, just when I remember that some ancient books have been recorded, I will give it to you later. ”

Zhang Jinbiao immediately bowed his fist and said, “The lower official will not be humiliated!” ”

Seeing convinced Zhang Genggeng, in a few days there should be a coal stove and chimney.

Li Ke, with several thousand disaster victims, went to the nearest coal mine in the city.

A disaster victim who usually likes to compare prices asked: “Your Highness, this kiln factory has stopped, what are you digging so much coal for?” ”

Li Kei said: “From today onwards, King Ben will no longer give you food for nothing. ”

When the victims heard that they were going to have nothing to eat, they were immediately shocked.

“What, Your Highness, it’s not winter yet, how can we survive without food!”

“Yes, Your Highness, I beg your kindness, I still have a wife and children. As long as I spend this winter, I will be a cow and a horse and will repay His Royal Highness the King of Shu for saving his life!” ”

“Alas, the landlord’s family has no surplus food, His Highness has already done so much for us, we should have been content a long time ago.”

“Your Highness, it’s just that it’s a little cold, you can still work, can we continue to burn bricks?”

“Your Highness, is there a shortage of slaves in your family?”

“Your Highness…”

Li Kei deliberately delayed to see the reaction of the victims.

The result is still very satisfactory, they are all simple and kind people, and there is still a clear difference between them and those fierce and evil people in the books they read.

These are just the people affected by the disaster, they can eat enough, there are not so many flowers and intestines.

“King Ben means that you don’t care if you eat, but if you dig coal, you can be paid, that is, money.”

“Dig coal, give money?”

Everyone looked at each other.

“Is there a place to sell this stuff?” This thing smokes so much, smokes the eyes, and can’t light it for cooking on fire. ”

“You don’t care about this, the king arranges to sell, you just have to dig coal.”

Subsequently, Li Ke, according to the daily mining volume of his subordinates, customized a standard, and he could give a penny when he reached a hundred catties.

As long as everyone works well, digging two or three hundred pounds a day is not a problem.

In addition, there is a group of people responsible for loading and unloading, and because the road has been built in Yizhou City, transportation is not so laborious.

In previous years, charcoal sellers were responsible for selling stoves and coal.

Of course, there is also a small group of people who do not participate, and they continue to burn charcoal and sell charcoal.

Li Kei ignored them.

The coal stove also needs some charcoal to ignite the fire, and the charcoal is only in small demand, not gone.

Anyway, it is not a problem for each person to earn 2-3 dollars per day, so that you can basically buy a bucket of rice in two days.

Some young and strong people do not have a problem earning a bucket of rice a day.

Moreover, since these people had no money or food, Li Kei decided to pay his salary directly a few days ago.

Then he sent people to the city to sell corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, Chinese cabbage and other crops.

If you want people to eat this thing, you must first let everyone know how to eat this thing, whether it is good or not.

These are new grains and vegetables for the winter, and after trying, there will definitely be people who stock up on a batch.

When the people bought charcoal, they found that something new had come out.

Coal stove, add coal.

I heard that the effect is better than a charcoal pot, cheap and long-lasting, and a few pieces of coal can be burned overnight.

The ability of the people of the Great Tang Dynasty to accept new things is still very strong.

Out of support for the king of Shu, or out of desire to try new products, some people bought stoves and coal for heating.

The first people to eat crabs enjoyed the convenience brought by the coal stove, and it spread ten, ten and hundred.

“Did you burn the stove at home?” It can be warmed and can be used to boil water for cooking, which is convenient! ”

“That’s necessary, my family bought a bag of coal for 2 cents, this has been burned for half a month and has not been burned, and I have to buy a few bags when I turn back.”

“Yes, I didn’t expect this coal to be able to heat up. Moreover, this coal stove is well controlled, and it will not be extinguished overnight, which is really useful! ”

“Yes, the house is warm, and it is much more convenient to do anything…”

“Coal is so good to burn, why didn’t you know it before?”

“Hey, I didn’t know it before, I can’t help it, I can’t get tired of grandchildren when I bring it back from the mine.”

“His Royal Highness King Shu really has vision, I know what he is so anxious to repair the road before the end of the year, it turns out to transport coal.”

“I think His Highness is working for the benefit of our people step by step!”

“Well, it is said that in order to resettle those disaster victims, the king of Shu thought of letting them dig coal to make money, and they could earn three or five cents a day, and I wanted to dig.”

“Go if you want, anyway, His Royal Highness the King of Shu is also recruiting workers.”

“I’m not going, it’s too cheap to mix with those disaster victims.”

“Well, I’m not going either.”
