Chapter 82 Preparing to Dig Coal Mine
82
The glass produced by the glass factory has been promoted nationwide and even exported abroad. The other two countries are still wondering how Jin can have so many good things. No wonder Jiang is always ready to take over Jin.
As the glass production increased, some people began to wonder how big the mine was. Even if it was huge, it couldn't be inexhaustible. Could it be that the ground had been hollowed out?
However, with the premise of the salt well, before Lin Baige proposed to extract salt underground, who would have thought that there was salt underground, and this gem might also be deep underground.
Those brave enough to dive in and take a look found that there was no mining at all, they just transported sand in and made it into glass.
Although porcelain is also made of clay, it is not as transparent and crystal clear as glass. How is this achieved?
No wonder I used to call Lin Baige the Demon Concubine. It turns out he really knows magic.
It is now illegal to say that he is a demon concubine. No one dares to say that anymore. Besides, everything Lin Baige does now is good for the people. He is not a demon, but a god from heaven who has come down to earth.
As expected, their emperor was a true dragon emperor who married a god.
The thermos was ready, and Lin Baige took one back to the palace. It happened to be snowing today and it was cold outside, but the bedroom was equipped with floor heating, and the glass windows kept the temperature inside the room. Fu Jiangyu was sitting barefoot at the desk, reviewing memorials.
The emperor is really pleasing to the eyes.
Lin Baige admired it at the door for a while before carrying his thermos in: "Your Majesty, I have a gift for you."
"What's this?" Fu Jiangyu put down the memorial in his hand, hugged the man and put his hand to his ear. "It's so cold, and you go out without a hat?"
"I'm going to get on a carriage as soon as I go out, so why would I need a hat?" Lin Baige rubbed his hand with his ear, "My hands are cold too, help me rub them."
From now on, carriages are not allowed in the palace. At most, people can go out in sedan chairs, and then change to carriages. Now the carriages are parked at the door of Lin Baige's bedroom. Let alone carriages, he can even ride a horse in the palace if he wants. As long as he wants, Fu Jiangyu will indulge him.
Fu Jiangyu held his hand and asked, "Why are you so popular?"
"It's okay, I don't have frostbite. It's a bit cold in school. If I could dig a coal mine and burn coal, it would definitely be warmer than it is now."
Lin Baige felt that burning charcoal was quite a luxury nowadays. He had gone out with Fu Jiangyu before and found that many mountains were bare. All the trees had been cut down and carried back home as firewood. Even if they were not burned at home, they could still sell them to make money.
He is a person who traveled back from the modern era. He grew up hearing slogans about protecting flowers, plants and trees. He felt really uncomfortable when he saw them, and he even wanted to hire someone to plant trees.
There are fewer and fewer trees, and many people cannot afford to burn firewood in winter. If coal mines can be dug out, it will reduce the suffering of the people in winter.
The neighboring snow country is in winter for half of the year. If we can export coal to them, we can make money.
But he knew nothing about mining. If the mine collapsed, many people would die, so he didn't dare to take the risk.
The glass series tasks have been completed. I wonder if there will be any mining tasks.
While Fu Jiangyu was rubbing his hands, he entered the space to check the tasks.
The time it took to complete this task once again exceeded the system's expectations. In addition to doubling the original three times the medicine, the system also gave him a time-reversal item as a reward.
Last time, this prop brought Lin Baige back to Fu Jiangyu's childhood. Seeing the cute Fu Jiangyu, he quite liked this prop.
I wonder if the next time I use it, I will go back to Fu Jiangyu’s childhood and pinch this little ball again.
"You really are a good system for the people. I hope you can give me more rewards like this in the future. It would be best if you can let me adjust my time." Lin Baige said.
System: "If you do this three times cumulatively, you will receive a reward at a time of your choice."
Lin Baige has already completed it twice. If he succeeds next time, he can choose his own time. He asked excitedly: "What conditions must be met to get the reward?"
The previous wine-making and sugar-making tasks took him less than a year, but this glass task took him more than a year. The second time took longer, and he never thought that the system would reward him.
System: "The time is calculated based on the difficulty of the task. Generally, as long as it does not exceed three years, a reward will be given."
"Ah? Three years?" Lin Baige suddenly thought that other time travelers did not have such good conditions as him. He is not an emperor now, but he is better than an emperor.
Then if we complete the task within three years, isn’t that stable? We can get rewards every time.
He clicked on the new task and his eyes lit up.
The new tasks include coal mining. The first task is a salt well, which is shown to have been completed. The second task is a coal mine, which includes mining tasks and mining scale tasks.
The mine's structural diagram and specific location were clearly marked: "It's so detailed, it seems like I'm just a porter of the task."
The other hosts were completing their missions too slowly because they had no money and no people. Furthermore, how could an ordinary person just start mining? Would the imperial court approve? He had to be arrested and charged with illegal mining. With his current status, he could just speak to the emperor and it would be done.
Lin Baige was still acting coquettishly to him the last second, saying that the school was too cold. Fu Jiangyu was still waiting for Lin Baige to ask him to add more charcoal to the school, or to add floor heating to their school. As long as Lin Baige started to act coquettishly to him, he would even build Lin Baige's school into a palace.
The next second, Lin Baige patted his arm and said, "Do you have a map? Bring one over here."
"What do you want the map for?" Fu Jiangyu asked him.
"Keep warm." Lin Baige urged him.
"Isn't this room warm enough? Do you want to burn the map to keep warm?" Although Fu Jiangyu said this, he still asked the eunuch to get the map.
"When did you start telling jokes?" Lin Baige took the map from the eunuch and spread it on the table. The map made him dizzy. He said a place name and patted Fu Jiangyu: "Where is that place?"
The eunuch standing by was very nervous when he saw him ordering and slapping the emperor. Only Lin Baige dared to treat the emperor like this. If anyone else dared to slap the emperor like this, he would have been chopped to death by the emperor.
The emperor is also devoted. He has liked Lin Baige for so many years. The degree of his indulgence towards Lin Baige is beyond the reach of ordinary men in treating their wives.
Fu Jiangyu pointed to a place and asked, "Why, do you want to go here?"
When they were digging the salt well before, Lin Baige wanted to go over and take a look, but he stopped her. Later, when they went to provide disaster relief, Lin Baige acted coquettishly and angry with him, and even promised to come back and sleep with him.
Now Lin Baige pointed to another place name. Does he want to go out?
Fu Jiangyu stared at the location on the map. What was so special about this location?
He remembered this place as poor, remote and nothing special.
Could it be that Lin Baige wants to go to this place to provide disaster relief?
"It's freezing cold, and the journey is long. You're not allowed to go." Before he could even speak, Fu Jiangyu ordered him not to go. "Just tell me what you want to do, and I'll send someone over."
"I don't want to go over. It's so cold. I'm planning to have a winter vacation for the school. From now until after the New Year, I don't want to leave this house." Lin Baige was reluctant to leave this warm house. It was very difficult for him to get out of bed every morning. There was no heating in that era. Several students got sick from the cold. It would be better to have a winter vacation if it continued like this.
This is a serious school, so he has to arrange his classes during both winter and summer vacations.
It just so happens that Fu Jiangyu can send someone to handle the mining.
"You're not going out anymore? Really? Or are you lying to me?" Fu Jiangyu couldn't hide his excitement. He had always wanted Lin Baige to stay in the palace, to stay by his side.
Seeing how excited Fu Jiangyu was, Lin Baige knew what he was thinking. "I want to take a winter vacation for over a month, not study here for over a month! Put away those unrealistic fantasies of yours!"
Fu Jiangyu pinched his chin and shook it left and right: "Why, serving me in bed is like working for you? Is it that painful?"
"..." Lin Baige wondered if he should buy a book on the art of speaking. He had to be careful at all times when talking to Fu Jiangyu. If he was not careful, Fu Jiangyu would find him vulnerable. After all, he was the emperor, so he had to be coaxed.
Normally, when Lin Baige wanted to ask Fu Jiangyu for something, he would deliberately quarrel with Fu Jiangyu, find loopholes in Fu Jiangyu's words, and then take the opportunity to pretend to have suffered a great injustice and ask Fu Jiangyu for the thing.
Every time he tried to find loopholes in Fu Jiangyu's words, he had to work very hard and never dared to lose focus for a moment. Fu Jiangyu was really good at finding loopholes in his words. He should learn from Fu Jiangyu.
"No wonder you are my senior brother. You are much better at causing trouble than me. Tell me, how do you want to sleep with me tonight? Just come directly without arguing with me first." Lin Baige spread his hands and slumped down in the chair, looking like a broken jar, ready to be slaughtered.
As a result, he looked up and saw the two fathers-in-law standing behind him. His eyes widened instantly: "Why are you still here?"
He sat up straight in embarrassment and looked at Fu Jiangyu.
Fu Jiangyu liked to see him looking so flustered with his eyes wide open and rolling around, which was so cute.
Fu Jiangyu gave them a wink, and they hurried out, fearing that if they were late, they would delay the two ancestors' work and then be blamed on them, which they could not afford.
People outside say that the imperial concubine has some tricks, but they have never seen what tricks the imperial concubine uses. They are all out of tricks and cannot argue with the emperor. They can only let His Majesty do whatever he wants.
It's also hard to tell that the imperial concubine likes the emperor. Every time, it seems like she's being forced by His Majesty. The only difference is that the imperial concubine is very bold and can beat and scold the emperor at will. No matter what outrageous words she says, His Majesty thinks she's just flirting and never blames her. He even likes her more.
"How many times have you slept with me? They record every time. It's something everyone knows. What's there to be shy about?" Fu Jiangyu asked, pinching his blushing cheek.
"What! What are you recording? How are you recording them? Are they watching through the crack of the door every day?" Lin Baige grabbed Fu Jiangyu's arm and shook it hard. "Tell me you're just teasing me, okay?!"
"We don't record the content, we only record the number of times," said Fu Jiangyu.
"The number of times is not okay! There is no need to record this at all. You don't have any other concubines. Isn't the purpose of recording this to see if the child is yours? I can't get pregnant, so why are you still recording this?" Lin Baige shook him hard.
Fu Jiangyu: "I want to see where your limits are."
