Daqin: At the beginning, he revealed that he was a traverser, and Ying Zheng was paralyzed

Beside the original wells, at this time, the peasants shuttled back and forth, constantly lifting the underground coal to the ground with a potter's wheel, and then piled it on the open space not far away.

"Sir, in three days, tens of thousands of catties of coal have been mined."

"This is indeed a treasured place of geomantic omen."

Fusu looked at the huge coal pile happily, and said with high morale.

Chen Qing shook his head slowly: "No."

???

"Why not?"

Fusu asked inexplicably.

"It's not the right way to do it."

Chen Qing pointed out the location of Xiabaligou: "Xianyang City has a population of hundreds of thousands. If coal is used for heating, the daily consumption may be tens of millions of catties."

"It's just digging from the ground little by little, how long will it take?"

Fusu couldn't help being discouraged: "If we add some more people, the output will also increase."

"Your Highness, if you agree to run a coal mine with me, I will tell you how to do it."

"It doesn't cost much and it works great."

Chen Qing couldn't help sighing: Fusu is good everywhere, but he is not greedy for money or power, and he is too decent.

How can you beat those villains like this?

I have to be a villain to help you make a plan!

"This……"

"Okay, I will promise you, and I will tell my father when I turn back, and I will definitely handle this matter properly."

Fusu thought for a second, there are tens of thousands of coal mines around Xianyang.

Even if the coal mine here is handed over to Chen Qing to manage, so what?

If you can learn some skills in managing the world, it will be worth it.

"Relying on these few wells alone, I'm afraid they won't be able to finish digging forever."

"According to Weichen's plan, it is better to remove the entire soil layer above the Baligou to expose the coal below, and just dig with your eyes closed. It is quick and convenient."

Chen Qing gestured at the bottom of the valley among the hills, and said with certainty.

Fu Su froze for a moment.

Since Baligou is named after this, the length should be almost eight miles.

The widest part is probably two miles, and the narrowest part is also one mile.

It is not easy to remove more than ten meters of soil!

"Your Highness, listen to me carefully."

"As far as I can see, the surrounding mountains are densely covered with rocks and the soil is scarce, so it is impossible to cultivate."

"In this valley, due to the erosion of rainwater, the soil has been fertile over the years, so the people settled here."

"We can use gunpowder to open a mountain to form a layer of stairs, and then move the soil from the valley to spread a thick layer."

"Isn't such a mountainous land turned into a fertile field?"

Chen Qing turned to look at him.

"This...it's okay."

"I'm afraid that the extra cost will be huge, and the gain outweighs the loss."

Fusu hesitated.

"As I said before, it won't cost much."

"Your Highness, what time do you think it is now?"

Chen Qing took the initiative to remind.

"It's late autumn now..."

Fusu immediately remembered that the autumn harvest is over now, and it will soon be winter with heavy snowfall.

At this time, the people are almost all nested at home to do some chores, preparing for the winter.

"In the villages around Xianyang, there are not more than one hundred and eighty thousand idlers at this time."

"Anyway, I don't have any other recreational activities at home except to hate my wife. Why don't you take advantage of your spare time to earn some pocket money."

"Regardless of men and women, we take care of two meals for one day's work."

"When the terraced fields on the mountain are built, those who are willing to ask for land, add three melons and two dates, and give him a few acres of land."

"If you don't want the land, let's give out some food stamps."

"The Jiangzuo Shaofu is building the second and third water mills."

"Anyway, water power doesn't cost money. People can exchange wheat for flour with food stamps, one catty for one catty, and they are bound to be happy."

"In this way, even if the entire valley is emptied, it won't cost much."

"In addition to spending some rations, what we have left is a large coal field that is eight miles long and more than one mile wide!"

Chen Qing was imagining the spectacular scene, but he couldn't figure out how much it was worth.

After all, it is an unimaginable wealth.

Fusu thought for a long time in a daze.

Something feels wrong, but can't tell.

"Mister is a great talent, I am not as good as you in case."

"Since the cost of mining coal mines is not much, so that the people of Xianyang City can use cheap coal to survive the cold winter, this palace can be regarded as a good deed that benefits the country and the people."

Chen Qing shook his head again.

Fusu, Fusu, your heart is too kind!

This is not acceptable.

"cheap?"

"We work hard to mine coal, but we can't make it cheaper for others."

Chapter 116 What big health care?I do not know

Chen Qing's categorical veto made Fusu stunned on the spot.

"Your Highness, you don't have to look at me like that."

"The so-called act of benefiting the people should benefit many poor people."

"But think about it, who has the largest house in Xianyang? Who needs the most coal?"

"If you're like you, I'm afraid ordinary people won't get much real benefits, but it's cheaper for the rich and powerful families in the city."

"Anyway, coal is cheap, but it can be built with strength!"

"They don't care how difficult it is to mine coal. Since it's so cheap, those luxurious palaces and pavilions are all equipped with heaters, so it's not unusable, right?"

Chen Qing explained patiently.

Fu Su nodded slowly: "That's true, so what should be done according to Mr.

He now found that he was far behind Chen Qing in terms of knowledge and structure.

It is best to listen to the other party's ideas and not to make claims.

"There is good coal and bad coal."

"Fine coal produces less smoke and has high heat power. Whether it is used to smelt copper or iron, it is excellent for household fires."

"Inferior coal has a lot of smoke, is not resistant to burning, has many impurities, and is unusable."

"Good coal is sold at a high price, and bad coal is sold at a low price."

"It's the same with people."

Chen Qing talked eloquently: "In my humble opinion, the old, weak and helpless in Xianyang City, it is better for each family to distribute some bad coal. No matter a few hundred catties or thousands of catties, they will be able to survive this winter."

"The smoke is nothing but choking. It's better than firewood, and it's not impossible to use it."

Fusu immediately cheered up: "Good! This plan is very clever. The common people..."

Chen Qing knew that he was going to talk about being lenient, benevolent and caring for the people again, so he interrupted without a trace: "I wonder if there is a similar institution in the imperial court that specializes in this matter?"

"This……"

Fu Su shook his head: "I'll report to my father later, and I will add it immediately."

"Since His Royal Highness has agreed to hand over the coal mine to this officer, then..."

Chen Qing hesitated to speak.

Fusu immediately understood what he meant, and said with a wry smile: "Of course the imperial court won't ask Mr. for nothing, just pay for it."

"Money is not needed."

Chen Qing said awe-inspiringly: "I am a people's entrepreneur, and I should do something for the people."

"Why don't we just use bad coal to offset the tax?"

When Fusu heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately agreed: "Of course!"

Without spending a single penny, the people of Xianyang City can have coal available, which is really a boon for nothing!

The corners of Chen Qing's mouth curled up slightly.

How much oil and water can be squeezed out by counting on the poor in Xianyang City?

The 12 nobles from the six countries that the first emperor moved were his goal!

"Medium coal, the price is neither high nor low, just sell it to ordinary people."

"The high-quality coal is naturally sold to the rich."

"It's freezing cold today, but it's time to use coal."

"Weichen Custodian sells them for a good price."

Chen Qing said confidently.

"Sir, not many people know that Shi Nie can make fire."

"Besides, the wealthy households in the city accumulate firewood every autumn. I'm afraid the coal won't be able to sell much for a while."

Fusu kindly reminded.

"Your Highness, Shanren has his own plan."

"The bathrooms in Xianyang Palace are extremely luxurious. With coal, it's time to let it enter thousands of households."

"There is also a bathing center. This business can do a lot."

The daily enjoyment of the first emperor was far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Over 200 BC, he had used baths like those of later generations, with ceramic floor drains, and water supply and drainage pipes.

In the bathroom, there is also a fireplace for heating, even if you don't wear clothes in it, you won't catch cold.

Chen Qing knew that the palace people had said it, but because of his status, he had no chance to enjoy it, so he had been thinking about it for a long time.

"I don't know what the master intends to do?"

Fusu asked curiously.

"Weichen intends to open a heaven and earth in Xianyang, exclusively for rich and wealthy households to take a bath and relax."

"What kind of essential oils are used to open the back, Thai massage, and everything that needs to be adjusted."

"Orchid dancers in the Western Regions, arrange for one hundred and eighty of them. Belly dancing, pole dancing, whatever they want to see."

"Once they get used to such enjoyment, they will naturally want to create their own private bath at home."
