Ancient promotion routine

"Erlang, Miss Li asked me to bring this to you." After he finished speaking, he looked like begging for praise, which made Zhang Yanjin want to slap him.

Li Rongniang sent it, is it necessary to show such an ambiguous expression?

But Zhang Yanjin couldn't help herself and opened it immediately, wondering how Li Rongniang would return the gift to him.

When he opened it, he was a little taken aback, there were some clothes, shoes and socks, and there was another box.There is really a lot of silver, several hundred taels?

In addition, when the clothes were spread out, it was clearly his figure, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. Now he has someone to help him make clothes, and it's still...

He opened the letter immediately, and the arc of the corner of his mouth disappeared when he saw it.

The letter said that Datong was poor, and she knew that he had ambitions, but she also knew that without money, it would be difficult to mobilize the armed forces, so she sent the money, and finally said that most of the money was actually the Zhang family and others looking at his face She bought it for her, and she couldn't refuse it. Li Rongniang also understood that the money would be returned by the Zhang family at the New Year's Day in the future.

Zhang Yanjin is not happy anymore, he has a thousand taels of gold, can he take a fancy to this mere hundred taels?Thinking of what she said in the carriage to reassure him... His heart sank a little.

If she doesn't want to owe the Zhang family anything, but wants to break the boundaries, then what clothes will she give him?

Zhang Yanjin suddenly became entangled, what exactly was this woman thinking.

"Jiro?"

Zhang Yanjin put away her facial expression and said, "Go on, you are tired from the journey."

Ruifu is a little disappointed, so there is no praise or something?

Ruifu left heartbroken, and as soon as he left, Zhang Yanjin still put on the clothes, which were still pretty, but he also hated that the bronze mirror could not show his beauty and clothes, so he must toss out the glass in the future!

When Zhang Yanjin took Wang Youwei and the others to see the clay field, Zhang Yanjin did not let the other craftsmen idle. He drew the shapes of the equipment used for mining coal and asked the craftsmen to make them.

The current conditions are really limited. He must use the available materials to mine the first part of the coal.

The first step in mining coal is to excavate rocks. In the place he drew, the coal was buried under a thick rock layer. It would be too slow to break through the rock layer. Zhang Yanjin thought about it for a while. , then thought of the principle of leverage.

The force of falling heavy iron cones breaks open thick layers of rock so that coal can be mined.

A group of craftsmen were extremely enthusiastic. In less than a morning, they went to the blacksmith shop in the market town, and made a lot of strong and hard iron cones, as well as Zhang Yanjin's hand picks and other things.

After everything was ready, Zhang Yanjin led the workers and craftsmen to the place where a large amount of coal was hidden.

The craftsmen first built a solid wooden frame, then used a highly elastic wooden stick, several people pressed the other end of the wooden stick together, lifted the heavy iron cone high, and smashed it down towards the rock formation. .

Accompanied by a loud noise, the rock layer on the ground quickly shattered, and several craftsmen began to smash a horizontal groove with picks along the cracked gap.

Zhang Yanjin stepped forward to take a look, and found that there was indeed a shining black coal underneath.

"Erlang, should we start digging now?" Wang Shi's eyes sparkled.

Zhang Yanjin glanced at the workers behind them who were watching their actions with curiosity. He had handed over some of the workers just now to Wang Youwei and Old Liu, who took care of them and asked them to take those workers to burn bricks. He took the remaining workers to dig coal.

None of these workers have any experience. The brick-burning workers only need to follow Lao Liu Tou and Wang Youwei. But the workers who follow him are different. He must first give a correct demonstration. These workers It will not be dangerous for them to operate.

In his impression, mining and coal mining are divided into open-pit mining and underground mining.

In the early stage of open-pit mining, it is necessary to break through the rock layer on the ground and transport all the stones on the surface to dig out the underground coal.Underground mining is because many minerals or coal resources are deeply buried in the ground and need to be mined by drilling wells.

The structure of the underground rock layer is complex, and it is also full of dangers such as water, gas, and lack of oxygen. After careful consideration, Zhang Yanjin decided to take it one step at a time. First, dig out the open-pit coal plant here, first dig out the coal, and wait until the time is right. Now, let's think about the technologies needed for underground mining.

Zhang Yanjin took a good look around the rock layer they had just excavated, and said: "The rock layer here is relatively thin, so it can be excavated so quickly. We must first remove all the rocks and sand before we can dig coal. , otherwise it will bring a lot of trouble to the subsequent processing."

He looked at Wang Shi and said, "Wang Shi, Wang Jiu, the two of you are in charge of leading the workers to dig rocks and transport away the sand, and you are in charge of making the brackets. Wu Yi, you take the craftsmen to observe carefully, see what tools are needed, and speed up the production Come out. Wu Er, you take the rest of the workers to dig the coal, then pick out the stones in the coal, and then transport the coal to the puddle over there with a small cart."

After arranging the follow-up work, Zhang Yanjin returned to the low-slung auspicious inn.

Coal mining is followed by coal washing. If you want to wash coal, you need a lot of water. It is very important to find a puddle that keeps flowing water. The question is, how to deal with the water after coal washing?Similarly, there is a long way to pull coal from the coal yard, and it is also important to build roads and improve the vehicles used to pull coal.

Once the roads are fixed and the vehicle is changed to the best four wheeler, it saves a lot of time.Another advantage is that when he popularizes the use of coal, he can sell the coal to various places. In this way, the effect of a good road will be even greater.

Zhang Yanjin was thinking in his mind, and his hands were not idle, writing down concise notes and time on the paper.

Just when he had finished his lunch and was drowsy with a cup of hot tea, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

"Erlang, Wang Jianting led officers and soldiers to surround our coal digging place, and we are not allowed to continue digging coal!" In the bleak autumn wind, Wang Shi ran with his face flushed, and a lot of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Zhang Yanjin's drowsiness disappeared in an instant, Wang Jianting?Is that the newly appointed county magistrate?That is what Dawei called the county magistrate, why didn't he go to his own county magistrate's office and go to his territory to make trouble?

Sleep was mixed with the irritability and depression that were disturbed by others, and it all turned into anger.

Zhang Yanjin and Wang Shi walked out of the inn in a hurry, and came to the open-pit coal mining area he had delineated as quickly as a storm.

The open-pit coal mining plant, which was originally full of workers' chants, was quiet at this time, but the silence was filled with a sense of tension.Soldiers wearing thin Lin armor and aprons surrounded the open-air coal mining field. Zhang Wu, who came after hearing the wind, held a saber in both hands, and blocked the leader of the soldiers wearing a fur head, military uniform, and black leather boots. Outside.

The innermost ones are the craftsmen and veterans brought by Zhang Yanjin from the back camp of the supply chain. They have experienced such a scene in the military camp. To them, the scene at this time is nothing short of trivial. , holding the tool high, watching the soldiers vigilantly.

As for the innermost ones, there are villagers recruited by Zhang Wuyi from various villages. Where have these villagers seen such a posture?All of them looked tense, their foreheads were sweating, and they couldn't hold the tools tightly.

But seeing that Zhang Wuyi and the others were so courageous and upright, not only did they have no fear, but they also had the momentum to overwhelm these officers and soldiers, their hearts gradually calmed down, and they all began to guess who Zhang Yanjin was?Why are his subordinates not even afraid of officers and soldiers?

Standing at the front, Wang Jianting was wearing a red round-neck lingluo gown, a black cape on his head, and a belt with dark flowers symbolizing his official position around his waist.

Wang Jianting originally wanted his officers and soldiers to bring all these people back to the Yamen, but when he came to take a look, he found that there were not only Zhang Yanjin's people, but also other villagers.If he arrests them all, his county magistrate's office won't be able to accommodate them, right?

But when he asked the officers and soldiers to arrest Zhang Yanjin's people, he realized that Zhang Yanjin's cronies were actually more violent than his officers and soldiers, and they were ready to fight if they disagreed.Feeling guilty, he immediately asked people to go to the county government to call people over, but he never thought that he didn't wait for the soldiers in armor to come, but instead waited for Zhang Yanjin who was aggressive and murderous.

Wang Jianting looked at Zhang Yanjin, who was tall and tall and tall, and felt even more guilty. He hadn't forgotten the way Zhang Yanjin beat Zhou Qihui on Chang'an Avenue, and he was hit a few times at that time.

But Wang Jianting thought about it again, he is now the county magistrate here in Datong, Xizhou, and the largest official in this place is appointed by the imperial court. Zhang Yanjin is under his control here, so why should he be afraid?He must get back his former face!Besides, he has officers and soldiers in his hands, so why should he be guilty? !

Zhang Yanjin, who came in a hurry, looked around at the soldiers surrounded outside the open-pit coal mining area, feeling more and more unhappy.He just started work today, and Wang Jianting came to find trouble. Isn't this looking for bad luck for him?

"Zhang Yanjin, did you let someone dig this place?" Wang Jianting was not as tall as Zhang Yanjin. In order not to lose to Zhang Yanjin in terms of momentum, he raised his chin slightly and put on an official air.

"It's true that I had someone dig it up. What's the job of County Magistrate Wang?" Zhang Yanjin showed a cold expression.He knows that the county magistrate is equivalent to a local snake in every place. It stands to reason that he should visit Wang Jianting, the local county magistrate, when he comes to Datong, Xizhou, but the problem is, if he doesn't go, what can Wang Jianting do to him? ?

Wang Jianting looked at Zhang Yanjin, who was looking down at him with a majestic expression, and his expression froze. Zhang Yanjin was not afraid at all when he saw him?Shouldn't Zhang Yanjin give him a smile at this time?Zhang Yanjin did not follow the rules, and Wang Jianting was at a loss for a while.

"Zhang Yanjin, I heard that you want to dig coal here to make a fortune?" Wang Jianting saw that it was useless to suppress Zhang Yanjin with official airs, so he sneered again: "Everyone in the world knows that coal is poisonous, and you actually want to use coal to make money? Do you want to make a joke of the people of the day?"

He had indeed heard that Zhang Yanjin was making a big move here, that he wanted to dig coal to make a fortune, so he brought the officers and soldiers here, and wanted to give Zhang Yanjin a serious blow and make fun of Zhang Yanjin by the way.

Zhang Yanjin glanced at Wang Jianting, and said without haste, "It's true that ignorant people are fearless, but it's really impossible for a person like you who is as ridiculous as me to understand my behavior."

Zhang Yanjin's "Slippery World's Big Joke" made Wang Jianting unable to say anything again. He just called Zhang Yanjin a joke of the world, but Zhang Yanjin actually scolded him with a rhyming and connotative phrase like "Slippery World's Big Joke". Want to poke fun at his level of knowledge?

When people around heard Zhang Yanjin's phrase "the great joke of the world", they all had the urge to laugh. Zhang Wuyi behind Zhang Yanjin couldn't help laughing out loud. The two of them laughed, and the people behind also laughed. come out.Since when did Erlang of his family become so polite, that he no longer curses with dirty words?

Wang Jianting's face was red, and he tried his best to scold back, but he couldn't find a word that was more powerful than the sentence "Slip the world's jokes".

"Zhang Yanjin, you did such a big move without the government's consent, breaking rocks and destroying land, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?!" Wang Jianting gritted his back molars and said.Since Zhang Yanjin refused to give him face as the county magistrate, don't blame him for being rude!

Zhang Yanjin smiled, and did not follow Wang Jianting's words, but said: "The emperor gave me Zhang Yanjin this place to serve the court. You, Wang Jianting, used officers and soldiers without authorization to break into private houses and bully others. Do you know you What should be the crime?" Isn't it just putting a big hat on someone?Make it look like no one will be.

Wang Jianting was so blocked that he had nothing to say. This land was indeed bestowed on Zhang Yanjin by the emperor.

At that time, the emperor saw that Datong was not a rich place, and the amount of grain and tax paid every year was very small. Wang Jianting went to the county government to check the scope of the grant, and found that except for the county town, seven of the surrounding mountain villages had gone to seven out of ten opportunities. It's not bad, how dare he, the Datong order, only manage a county town and a small village?

Wang Jianting held his breath in his chest, he couldn't get up, he couldn't get down, he looked at Zhang Yanjin angrily, this guy deliberately didn't give him face!

Zhang Yanjin just looked at Wang Jianting like this. If Wang Jianting dared to deliberately find trouble for him today, he would not give Wang Jianting a step down. He wanted to see what Wang Jianting would do next.

The last time I was beaten on Chang'an Avenue is still vivid in my mind. At this time, the villagers in Datong, Xizhou, and my own subordinates all looked at me. If Wang Jianting left in such a disgrace, he would still How can you be the county magistrate in Datong, Xizhou?

"Zhang Yanjin, you despise the county magistrate and disregard the laws of the country. The county magistrate will take you back to the Yamen for interrogation today!" Wang Jianting was secretly pleased. Anyway, he is an official here, so he doesn't believe that he can't find a fault for Zhang Yanjin .

Zhang Yanjin raised her fist unceremoniously, blowing a gust of cold wind.

"Zhang Yanjin, what do you want to do? This county magistrate is an official of the court, you want..." Wang Jianting staggered back.

Zhang Yanjin put down her fist, shook her hands and said, "I'm a rich man, and after a long time, I want to find someone to practice my hands. Today, my hands and feet seem to be a little itchy."

Wang Jianting's face turned blue and white, and his eyes turned black with anger.After he was beaten by Zhang Yanjin last time, facing Zhang Yanjin's iron fist, he felt a little scared, and his body even had a conditioned reflex.Now this guy actually dares to threaten him in front of so many people. If he doesn't get angry again, what will he do in the future? !

"You dare to threaten the court order, hit me!" Wang Jianting shouted hoarsely.He wants to show Zhang Yanjin that he, Wang Jianting, is not easy to mess with!

Hearing this, Zhang Yanjin went up and smashed Wang Jianting's white powder.

Wang Jianting screamed, covered his face and took a few steps back, two hot streams with a fishy smell flowed out of his nostrils, the originally not tall nose was now crooked and short, hanging on his chubby face Pretty funny.

The guards who followed Wang Jianting were also dumbfounded. Although this Zhang Yanjin was the nephew of Ning Guogong, Wang Jianting's father was also an advising doctor of the court. Why did Zhang Yanjin do it when he said it?Now they are all sweating in their hands. If they do it, they will offend Zhang Yanjin completely, and if they don't, they will offend Wang Jianting...

The guards simply set their eyes on Li Quanmao, their head catcher. Li Quanmao had been a servant for many years before he got into the position of catcher.

Although he is only a headhunter in a small place, he has long been slick and can read words and expressions. From the brief contest between Zhang Yanjin and Wang Jianting just now, he knew that Zhang Yanjin didn't take Wang Jianting seriously at all, and these few days he After getting along with Wang Jianting for a short time, I also know that Wang Jianting is a dandy who only has airs. If he completely offends Zhang Yanjin for Wang Jianting, it would be too uneconomical.

"What are you all doing standing there?! Hit me..." Wang Jianting was furious, clutching his sore nose, tears streaming down his face.

It's just that before he could finish his sentence, Zhang Yanjin slammed two fists on his eyes with lightning speed, completely turning him into a panda.

This time Zhang Yanjin kicked him in the stomach without waiting for him to finish screaming, and kicked him out.

Wang Jianting howled in pain, completely silent.

Wang Quanmao stepped forward to take a look, and found that Wang Jianting had passed out, so he hurriedly said to the guards beside him, "Hurry up and take him back to the Yamen!"

"Boss, is this the end of the matter?" The guards looked at their leader Zhang Quanmao in disbelief.

Zhang Quanmao stared back and said: "The county magistrate is dizzy, and no one has given orders. What should I do if I don't go back?"

The villagers in Datong were stunned to see the guards carrying the new county magistrate away quickly.Officers and soldiers came up to arrest people, how could it end in such a way?

"Work hard!" Zhang Yanjin turned around and shouted: "With me, Zhang Yanjin, you will not be without work for a day. As long as you work hard, you can receive your daily wages. In a word, work hard and make money earn!"

His voice spread across the empty mountain, and there was an echo not far away, which was deafening.

Regardless of whether it was the craftsmen who came with Zhang Yanjin or the new villagers, they all cheered up at this moment, shouting loudly: "Work hard and make money!"
