The sky is blue and the snow is vast!
At this time, on the right side of the official road as far as the convoy could see, the grassland was no longer white, but dark!
That's a black land!
It was a huge black land, with no end as far as the eye could see!
It was a huge black pit, a scene of hot mining!
That’s the open-pit coal mine in Huangzhou!
There used to be no grass growing there, and the people of the barren state regarded it as a bad land!
But now it’s the cornucopia of wilderness!
Sixty percent of Huangzhou's coal is mined here!
"Hey haha...hey haha..."
That was the "horn" shouted by coal miners in unison.
The sound is rich and powerful, and has a unique charm!
The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince were more and more shocked as they watched it!
Especially the huge tower on the edge of the coal pit and the huge wheel on the tower.
At this time, only arm-thick ropes were seen wrapped around the giant wheel, and baskets of black coal were hung under the ropes. They were lifted high amidst the "horns" of the shearers, and were lifted out of the coal mining industry. Big pit!
Then, the giant tower began to move, and the basket containing coal was lifted to the coal pit and put into the huge carriage. The three princes' eyes lit up!
Then, the carriage goes!
What a clever design!
What a labor-saving design!
In their impression, mining involves using an iron pestle to smash the ore, and then the miner uses a backpack to carry the ore out of the pit. It is very hard and very slow!
But there is no basket in sight at all in the coal mine in front of me, and the coal is being picked up extremely fast!
What a miracle!
At this moment, in the ice and snow, I saw the miners shirtless, their skin covered with hot sweat. It is no exaggeration to describe them as passionate!
finally.
The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince woke up from the shock again!
They turned their attention to the edge of the mine and saw rows of green brick houses. The surface was a little dark, but they could tell that they were relatively new!
Do coal miners live in such a good place?
What a hell!
What on earth is going on in Huangzhou?
at this time.
"Dang Dang Dang..."
I heard a few gongs ringing in the open-pit coal mine, and many people shouted: "The prince is back!"
"Brothers, hurry up and finish the work at hand, and then go out to meet the prince!"
"Okay!"
Huge cheers erupted in the open-pit mine: "It'll be ready soon!"
"Let's go pick up the prince!"
"Go get our king!"
Also at this time.
"Da da da......"
The young man with a hidden sword who opened the way in front of the convoy rode towards the open-pit coal mine and shouted loudly: "Your Highness has an order, so there is no need to greet him!"
"Hey hey hey..."
The general guarding the mine raised his hands and said, "Brothers, what we said doesn't count!"
"Brothers in the mine haven't seen the prince for a long time!"
"The prince is passing by here now. If they still don't see him... they will probably tear this general to pieces!"
"So please two brothers go back and help us ask the prince for instructions... let us greet him at the roadside!"
The guard knew that his prince was the Prince of Daxia, but for a while, he still couldn't change his title!
"good!"
The young man with the hidden sword understood everyone's thoughts and rode back!
Shortly after.
The young man with the hidden sword who opened the way turned back and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness agrees!"
"But he warned everyone to pay attention to safety and not to get hurt just to see him, and not to cause the mine to suffer losses just to see him!"
"Okay!"
The coal mine guard turned around happily and shouted: "Brothers, come up quickly to see our king!"
"coming!"
Suddenly.
The huge tower at the edge of the coal mine stopped working, and countless dark-skinned miners crawled out of the well, like ants emerging from their nests, densely packed, and the scene was grand!
at this time.
The convoy stopped at the edge of an open pit coal mine!
The third prince pointed to the giant tower beside the pit and asked, "What is that?"
"Tower crane!"
Xia Tian proudly said: "The tower crane in Huangzhou!"
The third prince said with a face full of shock: "But as far as Brother Wang knows, although iron is hard, can it lift such a heavy coal?"
"cannot!"
Xia Tian's answer was straightforward: "So, these huge tower cranes are not made of iron!"
"what is that?"
"secret!"
Third Prince: "..."
He glanced at Xia Tian resentfully, pointed at the giant wheel on the tower crane and asked, "What is that?"
"pulley!"
"A combination of several pulleys can allow a strong man to lift a thousand kilograms of objects from the mine!"
"What?"
The eyes of the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince flashed with light, and they all said in unison: "So magical?"
"yes!"
The third prince looked at the huge tower crane, and the shock in his heart deepened. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother Prince, can this giant thing be made by humans?"
“Isn’t it possible that gods really live in this deserted state of yours?”
"Tell me...what exactly did you dig up in those dragon lairs?"
Xia Tian smiled meaningfully: "The miners who mine coal here are also refugees from the famine!"
"The coal here will be processed at Tianmenguan, made into briquettes, and then transported to Daxia Jiuzhou along with the Huangzhou furnace for sale!"
"The income here is one of the supports for Huangzhou Palace!"
The second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince looked at the huge open-pit coal mine, the huge tower cranes, the huge pulleys, and the huge bucket trucks. They seemed to feel that they were in a country of giants, which was unreal. Feelings!
Not long after.
I saw the miners standing in line like sergeants, some wearing clothes, some still shirtless, covered in hot sweat, their faces dark and full of cinders, there were ten thousand of them, they raised their hands in unison and saluted: " Welcome the prince back home!"
"Welcome to the home of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, a thousand years!"
The voice was loud and clear, reaching into the sky!
Xia Tian jumped off the carriage, holding his hands up: "Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
"You have worked hard!"
"All for Huangzhou!"
The soldiers and miners guarding the mine responded in unison: "Everything is for Huangzhou!"
The expressions on the faces of the second prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince suddenly changed!
Fighting spirit!
murderous look!
Are these guys in pitch black miners?
Are you sure it's not Sergeant Huangzhou?
Is this a coal mine or a military training ground?
When we first arrived in the village, there were old, weak, women and children among the people we greeted, so even though everyone stood up straight, the morale of a soldier was not strong enough!
However, the miners here are all young and middle-aged men, all of them full of vigor, with loud voices and strong breaths!
There is no doubt about it.
As long as these miners put on armor and pick up swords, they should become elites in the army!
Thinking of this, a trace of fear flashed across the eyes of the Second Prince, the Third Prince, and the Fifth Prince. When looking at Xia Tian, they inexplicably felt that Xia Tian's figure was much taller!
suddenly.
A question appeared in the third prince's mind: "Brother Prince, these coal diggers are all Huangzhou sergeants, right?"
"no!"
"impossible!"
The third prince seemed to have found a flaw: "This is also the place you use to decorate the facade of Huangzhou!"
"That's why you put your best soldiers here to dig coal!"
summer:"......"
"Brother Three Princes, how do you believe that there are no refugees from the deserted state?"
"food!"
The third prince raised his eyelids and said, "Show me the food in the deserted state that can feed millions of refugees!"
"Where?"
