Chapter 49 Lijiazhuang Coal Mine

Wannian County.

Lijiazhuang.

After the opening ceremony of the Cangwen Pavilion, Lin Feng and Cheng Tianhu led a group of royal guards out of the city, took Li Da from the Royal Brewery, and then rushed directly to Lijiazhuang, Wannian County.

The coal mine is really important to Lin Feng. Only with coal can he do what he wants to do in Dayan. Hearing is deceiving and seeing is believing. Lin Feng can't wait to come to Heituling to witness the existence of the coal mine with his own eyes.

"Mr. Lin, the front is Lijiazhuang. It's getting late now and the road to Heituling is not easy to walk. How about we rest in the village for one night and I will take you there tomorrow morning?" Li Dadao.

The coal mine was right in front of him, so Lin Feng couldn't think of sleeping. He waved his hand quickly, "No, you can take us there now. We will rest at Black Earth Ridge tonight."

"Okay! I'll take you there right now."

A quarter of an hour later, Lin Feng came to a bare hillside.

"Master Lin, this is Heituling."

As soon as Li Da said this, Lin Feng immediately bent down and looked at the soil under his feet.

"Torch!" Cheng Tianhu said.

Under the light of the torch, Lin Feng finally saw the dark soil under his feet clearly. He grabbed a handful of soil and put it in his hand to observe carefully...

coal! It’s really coal! Lin Feng was overjoyed, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Bring me a torch."

Lin Feng took a torch and looked around, and a group of imperial guards also checked on the hillside.

"Mr. Lin, the nearby hills are full of this kind of peat. Why are you looking for peat?" Li Da was very curious.

"Haha! Of course it's for burning. Li Da, how many people are there in your Lijiazhuang?"

"We have more than 100 households in Lijiazhuang, with a population of 600. Mr. Lin, this peat is poisonous and cannot be burned."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "I know this. Li Da, are there any other villages near Heituling?"

Li Da shook his head, "No, our Lijiazhuang is near Heituling."

"Li Da, I have a way to make peat non-toxic when burned. Now that your Lijiazhuang has developed, I plan to build a peat factory in this black soil ridge. You don't have to go to Fengyang City to work in the future, just come to the peat factory. You can make a lot of money by working at home.”

Li Da's face lit up, "Really?"

Lin Feng reached out and patted Li Da's strong shoulder, "Of course it's true. As long as you follow me and work hard from now on, I guarantee that you will get a third wife."

Li Da scratched his head with a silly smile on his face, "Hey hey hey! What about my three younger brothers?"

"Don't worry! Not just you four brothers, but all the brothers in the entire Li Family Village, as long as they follow me and work hard, they will all make a fortune in the future."

"Really? Then I'll go back to the village and tell them now."

Li Da was very excited and turned around to leave. Lin Feng shook his head and said, "Li Da, everyone in the village is asleep now. Call them back tomorrow morning. I have something to say to them."

"Master Lin, I listen to you."

As soon as the genius showed up, Li Da called the entire Li family village to their feet. Looking at the more than 500 people in shabby clothes and skinny faces, Lin Feng felt very uncomfortable.

"Dear fellow villagers of Lijiazhuang, my name is Lin Feng. I want to open a peat factory in Heituling. You are welcome to work in the peat factory. The young laborers will be paid two taels of silver per month, and the elderly and women will be paid one tael per month. Two silver coins, five hundred coins per month for a half-year-old child."

As soon as Lin Feng said this, the people in Lijiazhuang started talking and laughing. It was because Lin Feng's price was a bit high.

"Mr. Lin, I am Li Li, the patriarch of Li Family Village, and I am also Li Da's father. Are these things you said true? Isn't this peat poisonous? Can it still be sold for money?"

"Dad, haven't I told you already? Mr. Lin is a high-ranking official in Fengyang City. He has a way to remove the poison from peat. Why don't you believe it?"

Lin Feng walked towards Li Li with a smile on his face, "Dad Li, I can indeed detoxify the peat. Don't worry, the villagers come to work in the coal plant, and the wages can be paid in one day. I will never let the villagers Suffer a loss."

"Really? Mr. Lin, what do you need us to do now?"

Lin Feng thought for a while. The coal must be made into briquettes before it can be sold to Fengyang City. Naturally, there must be a special house for storage.

"Dad Li, you first organize the villagers to build a house under the black soil ridge."

"Mr. Lin, there is no problem in building a house, but you have to prepare the bricks and tiles for us."

"Don't worry, Dad Li. The bricks and tiles will be delivered here in two days. You finish the foundation first and start work as soon as the bricks and tiles arrive."

"Okay, then I'll arrange the manpower now."

Li Li and Li Da quickly organized dozens of young adults to set off.

"Brother Lin, do you really have a way to remove the poison from peat?"

Lin Feng smiled and said: "It can be said that peat itself is not poisonous. The things inside are very complicated and cannot be explained in a sentence or two. I will explain it to you slowly when I have time."

"Brother Cheng, we will return to Fengyang City immediately. I want to enter the palace to meet His Majesty."

"Brother Lin, do you want to partner with His Majesty in this peat business?"

Lin Feng nodded, "Of course, the peat business is profitable. It's just like picking up money on the ground. With such a big piece of fat, if His Majesty doesn't support me behind my back, do you think I, a small official of the sixth grade, can walk in the cabinet?" Can you eat?"

Cheng Tianhu nodded, "Brother Lin has thought carefully, and I admire him."

Royal Palace.

Wende Hall.

After receiving the communication from Sun He, Lin Feng and Cheng Tianhu quickly walked into the Wende Hall.

"My lord, I greet Your Majesty!"

"Pingshen, you two are so anxious to see me, there must be something going on. Tell me! What is it?"

"Your Majesty, I and Captain Cheng discovered a gold mine in Wannian County. Is Your Majesty interested in cooperating with me?"

"Gold mine?"

Huangfu Gongcheng's eyes lit up and he immediately stood up from the throne, "Lin Aiqing, how difficult is it to mine gold?"

"Your Majesty, this is a large open-pit gold mine. You don't need to mine it, you can just move it home."

"You don't need to mine? Then why are you asking me to cooperate? There's something in your words! Please explain it to me clearly, otherwise I won't be able to spare you."

"Your Majesty, the big gold mine I mentioned is the peat in Lijiazhuang, Wannian County."

"Oh!"

Huangfu Gongcheng slammed the table and stood up from the dragon chair, "Bold Lin Feng, you dare to play with me, peat is poisonous, do you think I don't know?"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. What if I could make the peat non-poisonous?"

"It's not poisonous? How is this possible? The peat in Wannian County has existed since ancient times. People have been poisoned by peat in all dynasties. If you say it's not poisonous, it's not poisonous. How can I believe you?"

"Your Majesty, peat itself is not poisonous, otherwise all the people in Lijiazhuang would have died long ago. As we all know, burning peat consumes air. In the past, the reason why people were poisoned was because they closed their doors and windows tightly when using peat for heating. It is caused by insufficient air supply. As long as we open the doors and windows when burning coal, with sufficient air supply, poisoning will naturally not occur."
