"What? You want me to be in charge of coal mining and sales?!"
Meng Yi sat in the hall of the Nei Shi Mansion, staring at the person opposite him in amazement.
"No, what does this have to do with me?"
Meng Yi didn't even know what coal was.
"Yes, it's you. I've already spoken to the king. It's settled."
"I came to you today to talk about this."
Zhao Jun took a sip of water from the cup in a very leisurely manner.
"Okay, tell me what this is all about."
As soon as Meng Yi heard this, he knew that this matter could not be refuted, so he asked helplessly.
Mr. Zhao first told him about the role of coal and then boasted about it for a long time.
"I have completed the training at the coal mine and now I am just waiting for mining to begin."
"You said it so well, why don't you do it yourself?"
Meng Yi was also shocked by the effectiveness of coal at first, but how could such a good thing suddenly happen to him?
"I'm busy. Okay, I'll tell you about your job now."
"After the coal is mined, it will be supplied first to the royal palace and ministers at all levels. You will decide how much to supply each person."
"If the amount mined is sufficient, we will sell it to ordinary people at a price. You can decide the price and how to sell it."
"Coal mining is risky. You are responsible for the subsequent safety inspections."
"Anyway, I've already set up my stall, and the rest is up to you."
Perfect!
Zhao Jun smiled and drank his tea leisurely.
She'd better avoid working in an environment where dust is everywhere.
"No, I'm in charge of everything. Do you want to be a hands-off boss?!"
Meng Yi felt that he had been cheated.
This is a huge project, involving officials at all levels of the imperial court, and it also has to be sold to the people.
This was a big job, and his free time was over.
After that, no matter how Meng Yi wailed, Zhao Jun ignored him.
Fusu, who made the suggestion, stood behind and kept his merit and fame to himself.
After Meng Yi followed Zhao Jun to the coal mine and saw the environment there, his face became even darker.
He knew that this was definitely not a good thing!
Zhao Jun felt that there were basically no problems with the mining methods used in the coal mine.
But there was another problem, and Zhao Jun planned to ask Mozi to solve it again.
After coal is mined, it is best to spray it with water before transporting it out.
This way, fire is less likely to occur during transportation.
After mining, it is best to frequently spray the piled coal blocks with water.
In this case, the demand for water will be very high, but the nearby stream is a bit far away, so it is not very convenient.
So Zhao Jun planned to find a big man to dig a few wells in the coal mining site.
If there were a stable supply of well water, it would be much more convenient in the future.
So Ju Zi, who was studying a piece of coal in the studio, was dragged to the coal mine by Zhao Jun.
While studying the well, she encountered another problem.
The location of the well has been determined, and the method of digging the well has been determined, but the water pipe problem cannot be solved.
Zhao Jun thought about the worst quality rural water wells in modern times, where the walls of the water pipes are basically made of cement.
Then let’s just go all out and get the cement out at the same time.
Anyway, if she wants to take a car in the future, she has to build the road first.
These past two days she had asked for some architecture books from her modern sister Sun.
Construction management and objects, building materials, and basics of architectural form design.
The raw material composition of cement is not complicated, but the basic architecture books gave her a headache.
Fortunately, Juzi was there to help her, otherwise she wouldn't be able to do it even with the books.
She once again sighed that she was right to study liberal arts.
She's really not a logical freak.
But Juzi seemed like a natural genius in science, and Zhao Jun could tell from the description in the book in just a few words.
Juzi actually understood what she meant, and after a few experiments, he successfully made the cement.
Once the cement is ready, the water well problem will naturally be solved.
Although it is not as convenient as modern old-fashioned pressurized wells, water can only be drawn manually with buckets.
But this is much better than running to a distant river to pick them.
It's sunny in August.
In the coal mine, dust and sand filled the air.
Four men, who were already darker, stood in the sun and looked at the two wells that were finally completed.
Finally smiled.
"Finally done. I can't take it anymore. I have to take a good rest for a few days."
Zhao Jun and the other three sat in the rest area of the former quarry, breathing heavily.
Zou Yong stood silently behind them and brought them a few glasses of water at the right time.
"I originally told you to rest in the house, sir. I can handle it by myself."
There was no change in Juzi, he didn't even sweat much.
As for his skin, it's already dark, and there's no room for it to get darker this time.
"That won't do. This is the solution I came up with. I have to help you. How can I leave you alone in the sun?"
Zhao Jun shook the large leaf in her hand, which was her simple fan.
"Sir, why did you bring me here? I can't help you with what you are doing. I can just stay in the room and look at the account books. Why did you have to call me here?"
Meng Yi, who was also exhausted, complained softly.
He really can't help.
"That won't work. This coal mine will be handed over to you from now on. How can you, as the person in charge, supervise it on site?"
Of course, Mr. Zhao would not let go of someone who had shared his hardships.
