Kidnapped by Princess Changle at the beginning

Page 222

Looking down from here, I can see thousands of people have appeared on the originally barren hills.

All the buildings at the foot of the mountain have been built. It is not only the office area of ​​the coal mining plant, but also a place for people to rest and eat.

The entire coal mining plant is divided into several parts, including coal mining area, coal washing area, sorting area, and so on.

Chen Chu looked around and said, "We are lucky. This is an open-pit coal yard. The soil on the surface is only about ten feet away. After removing the soil, there will be coal underneath. If it is a deep mine, it will be more troublesome." It's..."

Open-pit coal mining has simple procedures, simple processes, and easy mining.

But the Shenjing coal mine is different. It needs advanced technology to mine, otherwise, landslides, gas explosions, water seepage, etc. will kill you.

Zhu Neng was puzzled and asked, "Boss, could it be that this black soil...ah no, it's coal, and it's hidden in a deep place?"

Chen Chu said with a smile: "Of course, some coal may be hidden in the ground tens or even hundreds of feet deep, and it is not easy to mine it."

Zhu Neng and the others all stared wide-eyed.

How to mine coal in such a deep place?

Just can't imagine.

Chen Chu looked at it for a while and said, "After the workers have lunch, start mining. It will be winter in a few days, and we need to increase the production..."

Even though there were thousands of people at the scene, after being divided into several districts, there were not many people.

Moreover, all of them are mined by manpower, and the efficiency is very low.

So Chen Chu asked everyone to do it early.

"By the way," Chen Chu said, "the new one is His Royal Highness the King of Yue, um... let him be the chief engineer of the mining area, Lao Zhu, keep an eye on him, and don't let him be lazy. "

"Ah..." Zhu Neng opened his mouth wide in surprise, "Boss, that is His Royal Highness the King of Yue today, you actually asked him to dig coal?"

"It's okay, let him exercise for a while, otherwise that bastard who doesn't know the heights of the sky and the earth dares to show off his power in front of me..."

Zhu Neng and others pretended not to hear.

……

Down the mountain, beside the carriage.

"Ah!"

Li Tai sneezed.

He raised his head and asked suspiciously: "Who, who is cursing this king?"

……

Chapter 263 Chief Engineer

Royal Palace.

Ganlu Temple.

Li Er summoned several ministers to discuss major issues.

Wait until the discussions on major political affairs are completed.

The ministers left one after another.

The eldest grandson Wuji was left behind.

Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji and asked, "Auxiliary machine, it seems that you are in a good mood recently, and you don't sigh like you used to..."

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and I am happy these few days... To tell you the truth, one of them is that Princess Gesang broke Chong'er's child, and then In a few days, I will have a baby, and I will be a grandfather, so it is a happy event. Secondly, because of this, I have been worried that Chen Chu will make trouble before, so I have the audacity to ask His Majesty to send Chen Chu to plant potatoes. Now, Hearing that Chen Chu has moved thirty miles to the north of the city and it is rare to come back, I am relieved."

"I see," Li Er said with a smile, "Actually, there is one more thing I want to keep you here."

As he said that, Li Er waved his hand and turned away from the screen.

After a while, the gate of Ganlu Hall closed.

In the main hall, only Changsun Wuji and Li Er were left.

Changsun Wuji knew that His Majesty Li Er was going to discuss important matters with him.

Manchu civil and military, only he has this treatment.

He asked curiously, "I don't know why His Majesty is bothered?"

Li Er took a sip of his tea and said, "Auxiliary machine, I think you know that when I accepted Qian as the crown prince, I didn't want him to be so comfortable all the time. I wanted to sharpen him, so I pushed Qingque away Come out, Qing Que's rewards and rewards since she was a child are all the same as Cheng Qian's. The purpose is to let Cheng Qian develop fighting spirit and become a qualified prince in the future... Now, Cheng Qian has not let me down, but I feel that Qing Que The bird has grown up and has full wings. Baiqisi even heard that some ministers in the court, regardless of right and wrong, privately speculated that I have plans to establish another crown prince, and even planned to support Qingque... Auxiliary machine, what do you think? "

Li Er's starting point is to use Li Tai to sharpen Li Chengqian.

Originally, one was a knife and the other was a whetstone.

But now Li Er suddenly discovered that both of them had become knives.

Changsun Wuji's complexion changed.

He was stunned.

Li Chengqian and Li Tai are both his nephews, both born to the eldest grandson empress.

No matter who becomes the prince and who will become the emperor in the future, it is not a bad thing for the eldest grandson's family.

but……

He hesitated for a moment, then said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this is your Majesty's family matter, and I have no right to ask about it."

Changsun Wuji simply ignored it.

Not even an opinion.

But Li Er did not agree: "Auxiliary machine, this is full of civil and military affairs, and I can only say to you, can you let me down? The one sitting in front of you now is not the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, but the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Good friend, have you forgotten that Erlang back then?"

Changsun Wuji was ashamed.

When he was young, Li Shimin was not the king of Qin, let alone the emperor.

Even Li Yuan was a courtier of the Great Sui Dynasty.

At that time, the two were as close as brothers.

After many years, Li Er suddenly mentioned that Changsun Wuji's eye sockets became moist immediately.

He looked at Li Er and said: "Thank you for your love. This matter actually depends on how your majesty makes decisions. If you choose one of the prince and the king of Yue, you must give up the other. For the one who gives up, I'm afraid it's not small." A blow, I'm afraid I'll be devastated for the rest of my life."

This is exactly what Li Er was worried about.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

He didn't want to see siblings fight each other.

Datang's brotherhood was enough for his own generation.

Never pass it on.

Otherwise, how will future generations evaluate.

How stable is Li Tang's country?

Li Er looked at Changsun Wuji, and said in a daze, "Could it be that there is no way to get the best of both worlds?"

Changsun Wuji shook his head: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and King Yue have grown up."

"Ugh……"

Li Er waved his hand and said, "I know..."

Changsun Wuji got up and left quietly.

Li Er fell into great pain.

……

North of Chang'an City, Meishan.

"what?"

"You let me be a king of Yue to dig coal?"

"Chen Chu, make it clear..."

Li Tai stood in front of Chen Chu, and when he saw Chen Chu bring over a helmet made of bamboo strips, he immediately became furious.

Chen Chu explained: "Qingque, you are wrong, you are not a coal digger, you are the chief engineer of the mining area of ​​Hao Coal Mining Plant..."

Chief Engineer?

I saw Chen Chu handing over a sign.

The sign is carved out of wooden planks.

It read: Li Tai, chief engineer of the mining area.

Li Tai hesitated for a moment and asked, "It means that I have the final say on this mining area?"

Chen Chu nodded: "In theory, yes."

Of course, in reality, Lao Tzu has the final say on the entire coal mining plant.

A broken prince, don't care.

Seeing that Li Tai was silent, Chen Chu said again: "Your Highness, the mining area is the most important in the whole coal mining plant. In a few days, winter is coming, and our coal will be continuously transported to Chang'an City. Hot, as for how much you can sell, it depends on how much you can mine in your mining area, the more you mine, the more you will earn..."

This time Li Tai listened too much.

Your position is related to how much money you will make in the future.

He took the badge and hard hat and said, "Okay, I did it..."

The guard next to him stopped him: "Your Highness, you have a noble status, how can you dig coal?"

Li Tai pushed the other away unhappily: "Go away, what about coal mining, I am the chief engineer of the mining area, don't delay my fortune, or you will be cut off."

The people around, especially Cheng Chubi, were dumbfounded.

Chen Chu actually ordered King Yue to dig coal.

This is too outrageous.

Of course, the most outrageous thing is that the king of Yue actually agreed.

Cheng Chubi asked worriedly: "Uncle, if His Majesty knew, wouldn't he blame you?"

Chen Chu looked at Li Tai's persistent back, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, if Father knows, he will reward me..."

Cheng Chubi: "..."

……

And so the coal mining plant went into operation.

Chen Chu had already discussed with Li Lizhi.

The coal mining plant is in a mess, he plans to build a coal sales center in Chang'an City, and Li Lizhi is responsible for the sales of this area.

His three-legged cat's sales and mathematics knowledge were all taught to Li Lizhi in one go.

Li Lizhi has become the most powerful mathematician and management master in the Tang Dynasty except Chen Chu.

After all this is done, the next thing is to sell.

However, before that, there was one more thing that Chen Chu never forgot.

That is to grow potatoes.

He promised Li Er and Wenwu of the Manchu Dynasty to grow potatoes for the Tang Dynasty.

Moreover, the land of Meishan was cheated from Changsun Wuji in the name of growing potatoes. If no potatoes could be grown by then, there was no way to explain it. At least, Changsun Wuji would not agree.

However, this coal mining plant has Li Lizhi, Li Tai, Cheng Chubi, and Zhu Neng and others watching, Chen Chu is very relieved, and can be a hands-off shopkeeper in the future.

But the potatoes lacked a reliable person to help Chen Chu take care of them.

Chen Chu said that he would help Datang grow potatoes, but he didn't say he would grow them himself.

However, after thinking about it, he couldn't find a suitable candidate.

Ugh!

Talent!

In the Tang Dynasty in the 7th century AD, what was most lacking was talents!
