Hello proprietor! Wang Goudan clapped his hands and saluted Tang Pingping respectfully.
Regardless of Tang Ping's official position, people in Shanghe Village still used to call him Tang Ping's proprietor.
"What's going on?" Tang Ping asked. It can be said that the life in Shanghe Village is no worse than that of the wealthy households in Chang'an, so it is difficult to see the villagers still looking sad.
"If I go back to the proprietor, it's... I don't have enough firewood at home."
After saying this, Tang Ping understood that now every day when there is a football match, the people in Shanghe Village will make a lot of food to sell.
The fish and crabs fished out of the river, the potatoes from the fields, and the rabbits from the mountains, as long as they are delivered to the stadium, someone is guaranteed to pay for them.
Of course people from other places also come to sell these things, but after all, Shanghe Village is the closest and the things are fresh and hot, so naturally they sell the best.
On weekdays, the villagers cook at home, which means just cutting some firewood from the mountains behind is enough. But now that they have to eat so much every day, a lot of trees in the mountains behind have been cut down.
If this continues, we will have no choice but to continue cutting down the mountains. Not only will it become more and more inconvenient, but more trees will be cut down, which will also be a big problem for the environment.
Tang Ping touched Goudan's head: "Go and tell everyone, sell the food that has been prepared, and then wait for two days before selling the food. During these two days, the proprietor will make something for you to burn. "
"Yes, proprietor!" Tang Ping's words are now in Shanghe Village, which is more effective than the imperial edict. He said to wait for two days, no matter how much money they can make, the villagers will do it.
It just so happens that the people nearby who come all the way to pick up food and sell it can make some money.
He stopped picking up the hay on Goudan ground and ran to the village to convey Tang Ping's message to everyone.
Li Yuanji asked curiously: "Can you still make something that can burn? Do you need to use electricity again?"
Tang Ping shrugged: "Where do you get so much electricity? It would be great if this river can ensure that every villager has a light bulb on."
"Then what are you talking about?"
"Do you still remember the last case in Tianshui County, Qinzhou, where many people were sent to mine?" Tang Ping asked.
"Of course I remember it, this can be considered a cycle of retribution!"
At that time, all the big players in the mines under Huo Qingshi were killed by Tang Ping. Later, these people

They were all packed together and sent to a mine near Chang'an.
"The coal you said they dug?" During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, coal was mainly used as fuel for metallurgy and ceramics.
Private use mainly uses firewood as the main raw material.
"That's right. Didn't Third Uncle say that the seafood business can't be done recently? Why not just do the coal business?"
"Isn't this coal hard to burn?" Li Yuanji frowned. It's not like he didn't know anything. Generally, large pieces of coal are not used by farmers, but the coal surface is not easy to burn. This is why the people have such a bad attitude towards coal. The main reason why usage is so low.
"Third uncle, what do you think that is?" Tang Ping asked, pointing to a tree.
Li Yuanji looked in the direction he pointed: "It's a honeycomb. If you're afraid of the bees stinging you, I'll call the guards to pick it out for you tomorrow."
"That's not necessary. These little guys are used for pollination in the fields now, and the children in the village know not to mess with them, and nothing big will happen. I'm talking about that honeycomb."
"Honeycomb?" Li Yuanji was talking about coal for some reason, but his nephew immediately turned to the honeycomb with just one sentence.
"Yes, in fact, as long as the coal is made into a honeycomb shape, it is easy to burn. It can also be equipped with a simple small stove, which only weighs about ten kilograms. It can be carried around. It can be directly carried outside the stadium. There’s no problem in making food.”
"Really?" Li Yuanji didn't expect to be able to operate like this: "Then what business are you talking about?"
"You ask someone to transport the coal over, and I'll ask someone to make the coal into briquettes, and then sell them together with a small stove."
The mines are all owned by the state, and the coal dug out is sold to official kilns or metallurgical plants under the supervision.
The only people who can buy coal from it are people with the status of Tang Ping and Li Yuanji.
Li Yuanji nodded repeatedly when he heard this. This time, just by doing the seafood business with Tang Ping in the past few months, he made a good profit.
Of course, he did not keep all the money for himself, but gave a lot of it to Li Shimin's inner treasury.
He was an idle prince and it was enough for him to live a prosperous life. No matter how much money he had, it would not be appropriate to use it to help the poor, so he gave it all to Li Shimin.
But at that time, we had hired a lot of people to run the boats. Now that the weather is getting hot, I was originally thinking about how to arrange those people. But now it's better, and they can have new things to do.
At

Early the next morning, Li Yuanji took Tang Ping to the mine. It was only a few dozen miles away from Chang'an, not too far away.
This is actually a small-scale mine, but the characteristics of Shaanxi coal mines are that the coal seams are nearly horizontal, shallowly buried, and have good mining conditions.
There is no need to even dig a mine. Once you go in, you will see miners digging coal there with shovels.
Tang Ping picked up a few slices and looked at them. He couldn't tell whether they were good or bad, but he just asked someone to transport them on a cart back to Shanghe Village and try them out.
When the person in charge saw that it was King Zhao with the Yinshan Hou, and the approval slip from the Ministry of Works in his hand, he naturally didn't dare to hold it back, so he took a note of the quantity and let it go.
Anyway, this mine is under the control of the Ministry of Industry. Tang Ping and Duan Lun have agreed that the amount of coal hauled will be recorded in the account, and then the accounts will be settled once a month.
He then pulled a cart of coal back to Shanghe Village without entering the village. On the riverside outside the village, Tang Ping had already found someone to level a piece of land.
At this time, Brother Wang Tieniu had already set up a small water truck, and the river water was pumped up and placed in a reservoir.
Next to the reservoir is a pool for live coal. After Tang Ping asked people to pour the coal into it, he smashed it into powder.
After this step, you can actually use water or wind. However, in the experimental stage, you first need to check the quality of the coal, so you can just use it directly.
Seeing that the coal was almost smashed, Tang Ping asked someone to pour mud in again.
The loess used to make honeycomb briquettes should not be too much on this high loess slope. Mix coal and loess in a ratio of ten to two, and then add water.
Soon the slime was stirred together, and Tang Ping asked Wang Tieniu to take out what he made yesterday.
A cylinder made of iron is about ten centimeters in diameter, and there are about a dozen iron sticks in the middle that are as thick as a finger.
Li Yuanji was so surprised that he shoveled a shovelful of coal slime and put it into the cylinder without anyone else coming.
Then I pressed the upper lid hard, and there was a round hole on the lid corresponding to the iron skewer below, and some coal slime was squeezed out of the round hole by the iron skewer.
Then according to Tang Ping's instructions, he pushed the cylinder to the side with his backhand. After lifting it up, a black briquette with more than ten small holes on it was ready.
