Originally, the Banknote Bureau was only responsible for making treasure banknotes, but since Han Du came, it first made cement, and then arranged for craftsmen to mine coke ore, and then made steel.
Although the Banknote Bureau is still preparing to make new banknotes, most of its manpower is still divided between steelmaking and coal mining, and even the manufacturing of cement has almost stopped.
Firstly, because cement is indeed not as profitable as coal mines and steelmaking, its status in Han Du's heart is naturally not as good as those two. Secondly, the banknote bureau is indeed short of manpower and cannot take care of it.
Most of the twenty cement kilns now have been closed, and only one or two are still burning intermittently.
After reading the banknote game, Han Du suddenly wanted to go to the coal mine to have a look. Then he said: "While it's still a little early today, let's follow my officer to see how the coal mining is going."
Huang Lao was stunned when he heard this. He seemed to have not come back to his senses and looked at Han Du blankly.
Han Du was surprised by Huang Lao's appearance and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Is there any problem with the coal mining? Or is the coal supply insufficient for His Highness to sell?"
Huang Lao's eyes dodge and he quickly replied: "No, no, there is no problem with coal mining. Since you solved the transportation problem, the speed of coal mining is now much higher than before. The supply of coal is not a problem at all. As many as there are ~"
Han Du listened and nodded with satisfaction. This was almost what he thought. Then he said: "Then let's go and go take a look today."
Mr. Huang had no choice but to follow Han Du and move step by step.
As soon as he arrived at the place where the coal was unloaded, Han Du saw that it was piled with coal and nodded with satisfaction. Huang Lao is indeed telling the truth. The mining speed of coal is much higher than before, and the supply of coal is not a problem.
Just as Han Du was silently estimating how much coal was piled here, a mine cart roared down the mountainside, accompanied by old cheers.
Is this a minecart with people inside?
Han Du's expression suddenly turned grim. He had repeatedly warned that for the safety of the craftsmen, no one should sit in the mine car. Now it seems that Mr. Huang still treats his words as deaf ears.
Han Du glared at Mr. Huang coldly, with a look of shame and embarrassment on his face. If it doesn't happen, it will happen. Han Du is going to catch it first and then talk about punishment.
Seeing the mine cart slowly sliding over and stopping just in front of him, Han Du immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "I have said long ago that you must not go down the mountain in a mine cart. It is too dangerous. Come out. , let me see who doesn’t want to live anymore.”
When Han Du saw that the mine cart was motionless, he sneered and moved closer to look inside the mine cart.
Unexpectedly, before he could see who was inside the mine car, he was slapped on the head by an old hand stretched out. The filming almost brought tears to Han Du's eyes.
The anger in Han Du's heart suddenly surged up, and he stepped forward angrily.
Soup, soup and? Believe in the Duke of the country.
How could it be Tang He? Why did he come here when he had nothing to do~
When Han Du saw the person climbing out of the mine car clearly, his eyes were stunned. Han Du never guessed that it was Tang He who was in the mine cart. So this man was the instigator of the vicious attack he suffered just now?
When Tang He saw that Han Du didn't come forward to help him, he said dissatisfiedly: "I am old and have difficulty moving. Don't you know how to help me?"
When Han Du heard this, his head ached and his anger was gone. He went forward to support Tang He and sighed: "Xin Guo Gong, what are you doing? Since you are old, how dare you Sitting on this thing? I want to tell you clearly, this thing is dangerous. If there is an accident, your Majesty, won’t you tear me apart?”
Han Du helped Tang He down, and at this time another person emerged from the mine cart, it was Li Wenzhong.
Li Wenzhong didn't need Han Du's support, he just turned over and jumped out.
Yes, this is also a master.
"It's better to tear it up." Instead, Tang He glared at Han Du and cursed: "If you don't tear up something that has no filial piety, why keep it? You don't know how to tell me about such a good thing. .”
Han Du had a weird look on his face and said with a wry smile: "What's so good about this thing? It can run faster than a galloping horse, and there are no protective measures. If anything goes wrong, it will be death or injury. It's okay to say that this thing is extremely dangerous. .”
"This thing is faster than a galloping horse, so that's good." Tang He sighed, and then asked: "Did you really spend hundreds of thousands of kilograms of steel to build it? Although the cost is a bit high, it's worth it. "
Han Du nodded in agreement, "It's more worthwhile. Since the introduction of this thing, the speed of mining charcoal has been more than ten times higher than before. In the past, we could only collect more than a thousand kilograms of pebbles a day, but now we can mine tens of thousands kilograms a day as long as we think about it. , if we add more manpower, we can collect tens of thousands in a day."
Originally, coal mining was restricted by transportation. The roads were difficult to travel, and only a small amount of coal could be transported in a day. However, since the track was laid, coal mining has been restricted by the number of people mining. A mine cart weighs two thousand kilograms when put down. As long as there are enough people to mine the coal, this track can transport hundreds of thousands of kilograms of coal a day, which is not a problem at all.
After hearing Han Du's words, Tang He blew his beard and glared at Han Du, "Is this what I'm talking about?"
So which one are you always talking about? This track was originally used to transport coal. If you weren't talking about it, what else could it be? If it were not for transporting coal, Handu would not have expended so much effort to build this track.
"This is what I'm talking about," Tang He pointed at the mine cart, "When you get down from it, it feels pretty good to be traveling at lightning speed."
Han Du almost vomited blood after hearing this. He was still thinking about it after making trouble for a long time. No matter what, Han Du couldn't let Tang He worry about it anymore. If something happened to such a dangerous behavior, he would have no way to explain it in front of Lao Zhu.
"Mr. Xin Guo, this thing is really dangerous. You must never sit on it again."
"Danger?" Tang He glanced at Han Du contemptuously and said scornfully: "I have never seen any big winds and waves in my life, how can I still be afraid of danger?"
Raising his head, Tang He looked at another mine cart containing coal that was lowered from the mountainside. He sighed: "I am old. When I was young, I could still ride a horse. How joyful and unrestrained was it? Unfortunately, I am now too weak to ride a horse. I originally thought that this generation would never have the chance to experience what I did when I was young again. I feel it, I didn’t expect you to have such a good thing here, which allows me to experience the feeling of riding a horse while sitting down. Hahaha, what’s a little danger?”
After saying that, Tang He was about to jump into the mine cart again.
Seeing this, Han Du quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Mr. Xin, this is really too dangerous. You can't go there no matter what."
"You want to stop me?" Tang He asked, stroking his beard. Without waiting for Han Du's answer, he said again: "Ask yourself, can you stop me?"
Me, I really can’t stop it!
Han Du wanted to cry but had no tears. How could he, an eighth-grade official, stop Tang and the supreme-grade Xin Guo Gong?
Even if you can't stop him, you have to stop him, otherwise if something happens to this man, you will die.
Seeing that Han Du refused to give in and didn't insist on going up, Tang He suddenly stopped talking, "But today I'll give you a favor and I won't go up. I'll come back tomorrow. If you agree with me, you can come and see me." Look, if you still want to stop me, then you might as well stop coming. Once you come, you won’t be able to stop me. Hahaha~"
After saying that, Tang He left with a happy smile.
Han Du was left there, wanting to cry but without tears.
Li Wenzhong walked to Han Du and patted him on the shoulder. "Don't forget the treasured sword you promised me."
"Mr. Cao Guo," Han Du gave a salute, "I have remembered it, but the material for this sword is hard to find. Please wait a little longer. I will definitely satisfy Mr. Cao Guo."
Li Wenzhong smiled and nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Han Du took advantage of every opportunity and asked: "I can't persuade Duke Xin anymore. I wonder if I can ask Duke Cao to help persuade Duke Xin. It's really too dangerous to go down the mountain in that thing. If there are ten thousand people, One, what should we do?”
After hearing this, Li Wenzhong quickly waved his hand to stop Han Du, "I can't help you with this."
"Why?" Han Du asked in surprise.
In Han Du's view, there should be no problem with Li Wenzhong and Tang He being closely connected and giving each other a few words of persuasion.
"Because, like Duke Xin, I will come and sit here tomorrow. Hahaha~" After Li Wenzhong finished speaking, he looked up and smiled, and went to chase Tang He.
Han Du was stunned on the spot, "I really believe you." 'Why are they all so old, still acting like children? Is it true that men can't resist the feeling of sliding down from the moment they wear crotchless pants?
Han Du stared at the track fiercely, thinking fiercely whether he should dismantle it? But then I thought about it, even if I dismantled it myself, Tang He might have to ask me to repair it again.
However, I still have no way to refuse.
This time, you are the only one who has to deal with it, so why bother!
Just when Han Du was thinking about whether to dismantle the track, Tang Hesen's grand voice came from the distance, "Han Du boy, don't forget my sword. When the time comes, if he has one or not, I will Let me ask you."
What else can Han Du say?
Li Wenzhong asked me for a sword, so there was some reason. But Tang He was so familiar with him and was not polite to Han Du at all.
It's not easy to make a sword, and Han Du doesn't have meteorite. If there is meteorite, he might as well build two for them now.
