The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

When he said this, the bureaucratic landlords in the south of the Yangtze River followed him, accusing Yan Song

"Old Yan Ge, you really made a big mistake this time.

Alas, Mr. Yan Ge, you understand the poverty in the north, we understand, but this Datong is because the dog can't support the mud on the wall and can't get on the house. Oh, this railway, it's a loss to grandma's house!

No luck, the railway is also a decoration, Mr. Yan Ge, you should step down and take charge!

Facing the raging crowd, Yan Song smiled lightly

"It can't be transported out? Is it?" Yan Song smiled and said: "It's a pity that I always look up ancient books in this pavilion, but I know that there is an inexhaustible gold mountain in your Datong underground.

"???" The old people of Datong were shocked! ! ! "Jiajing, Zhu Siyuan, civil and military officials forced

what's the situation?

An inexhaustible... gold mountain?

Under the barren land of Datong, there is actually a golden mountain?

How can it be?

Wa hahaha! "Zhu Siyuan laughed until tears came out and sneered: "Yan Song!You are dying, cut the grass and talk about it!Do you think you are the only scholar in the world?The old man dare not boast, but he was also the number one scholar at the time of the tenth exam, a person who has read poetry and books!I have also read all over the ancient books, why haven't I seen any records in the book, what kind of gold mountain is there in the underground of Great Harmony?Hehehe

The old men behind him all laughed

"Gold Mountain? Hehe, if Datong really had a gold mountain, how could it be so poor?

that is!Datong is a thousand-year-old city, which was called Yunzhong in Qin and Han Dynasties, and even in the Western Zhou Dynasty, it was the city of Tianxia.If there is a golden mountain here, it would have been discovered long ago

Mr. Yan Ge, self-made and acted for nothing, talking nonsense.

"Hehe, Mr. Yan Ge, you continue to make it up, I want to see how you make it up!

Even the old man of Datong didn’t believe it anymore. He said frankly, “Yan Tu, I lived to be 80 years old, but I have never heard that there is a golden mountain in Datong. Not to mention the golden mountain, I have never even seen half of the golden sand!

Jiajing was convinced, and smiled bitterly at Yan Song: "If Yan Aiqing loses, he loses, don't you just talk about it?"

All the girls looked at Yan Song with disappointment

Yan Song laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, is this a person who fabricates out of thin air and talks nonsense? Please look!"

he waved

In the distance, a heavy-duty train slowly came

This train is full of certain items, but it is wrapped in tarpaulin to prevent people from seeing clearly? ? ? "The faces of the people in Datong are full of shock.

They don't know that Datong still produces these things?

What is this? "Jiajing lost his voice

..."Zhu Siyuan also stared at the cargo on the train.

Yan Song said indifferently: "This thing is what the old man said... the golden mountain under Datong.

Zhu Siyuan was holding on to the train, and suddenly shouted: "Nonsense! How could this be gold? It looks black to me!

Five old men from Nanjing, Shangshu, said in one go, "It's just that it doesn't look like gold at all.

Yan Song, you are making things up!

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient... Yan Song smiled and said: "You guys wait and see a good show!

the train stops slowly

Yan Song led Jiajing's important ministers forward, and watched the heavy-duty train all the time

Wang Huya and Yan Song's female relatives also brought their children up, very curious

Goudan was more courageous and yelled: "Godfather! This little train doesn't look like transporting gold mountains? What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd? Tell the child

Yan Song rubbed Goudan's head with a smile, and said to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, please uncover the tarpaulin of this train and reveal the answer to the mystery?

Jiajing nodded, and gently tore off a red felt cloth like cutting a ribbon.

...

The cargo of this heavy-duty train finally revealed its straightness!

Zhu Siyuan's eyes widened suddenly.

He saw with his own eyes that the train was fully loaded, and it turned out to be

Mountains of black rock?

coal?

The six ministers of Nanjing also gasped in amazement.

The use of coal has a long history in China. As early as the Han Dynasty, Chinese people knew that coal could be used for heating and burning fire.But the coal on the surface is still a small number after all, and it is not easy to find. It is far less easy than cutting down forests to get fuel and burning charcoal.

But Jiajing Zhu Siyuan and others are not necessarily ignorant of coal.

Jiajing nodded and said: "Yan Aiqing, what do you mean, there is coal in Datong?

Yan Song laughed and said: "Your Majesty, that's right! This coal is also called black gold. For me, who is outside the critical period of the industrial revolution, it is an out-and-out gold mountain! Whether it is a train, or a steel factory, whether it is For heating or as power, a large amount of coal is urgently needed! The demand is simply in short supply, which is called a bottomless pit!

Jifu Shixing suddenly realized and stepped forward and said: "Your minister can testify that Yan Shoufu's words are extremely accurate. Today, there are more than 1 steel factories in Tianjin alone! The total steelmaking capacity has reached 30. 5 tons! And the coal around Tianjin can’t keep up with the demand at all, and the whole North China is looking for coal everywhere. The price of a ton of coal has risen from 10 taels before to 30 taels. The steel mills are complaining. The cost has increased greatly. Since the start of the train, the demand for coal has been increasing day by day! The price of coal is going to rise! Ming! Coal has become a golden bottleneck restricting the economic development and industrial revolution of Ming Dynasty!
