Chapter 133: Fire in the Snow



On the plateau, under the dark sky, a young boy was so tired that he was gasping for breath after shoveling the snow on the roof. He dropped the shovel in his hand and sat down on the roof.

“Pah.”

Ji Sang slapped his son on the head and scolded him, "Be careful, tiles cost money."

People who often do the work are naturally not easy on the hands. The boy was slapped and grimaced. He rubbed his head twice and complained: "Don't hit me on the head all the time. My grades in the academy are not good. It's all because of you. Otherwise, I would have ranked first in the exam a long time ago."

"First place is bullshit, don't just be thankful for being in the last few places. If you are in the last place again next month, be careful or I will punish you."

The young boy squinted at Ji Sang and said disdainfully, "That's still better than you. There are only about 10 to 20 people in our class, and everyone is fighting hard. I'm not outstanding. There are hundreds of people in your adult class, and you're still ranked last?"

Ji Sang's face turned red, he pulled the corner of his mouth, stiffened his neck and said: "Those guys in our adult class are also fighting hard."

Wang Zheng held the urgent letter in his hand and couldn't help but frowned. He carefully recalled in his mind what was a thousand miles to the northeast.

In fact, this was also the way Wang Zheng selected talents in the beginning. He taught everyone without distinction and then picked out the people who were useful.

Ji Sang exclaimed, "How can a fire start in such a thick snow?"

The father and son were about to jump down, but were stunned by the scene in the distance.

The young boy nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, the world is better now, thank the Second Saint and thank the steward."

A huge fire, a huge fire that covered half the sky, suddenly appeared in the northeast direction.

After the accident, all the people in the coal mine and nearby residents have been relocated to a nearby city, which is dozens of miles away from the coal mine.

Zhang Zheng was actually less than 20 years old. The fact that he could manage such a large coal mine proved his ability. At this moment, his eyes were red and swollen, and he cried, "It was my fault that I didn't do well and made you worry."

Wang Zheng went home and explained things, and then held a meeting in the city, mainly to hand over various matters, and then left. He was accompanied by no more than 200 guards, but he did bring Niu Laosan and Li Si with him.

Then Ji Sang touched his son's head and said, "Let's go back. It's windy outside."

"Never mind what it is, just go and tell those young gentlemen, something serious must have happened."

"On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the coal mine had not started construction, but black oil was gushing out of the mine pit, which was flammable. Due to the heavy transportation task, no one was evacuated. On the eleventh day, a large amount of black oil continued to gush out, and the staff were organized to evacuate urgently.

The delay in evacuation resulted in the death of 98 people, serious injuries to 132 people, and minor injuries to 451 people. Zhang Zheng has failed to live up to Mr.'s trust and is guilty of death. "

The father and son were silent for a while, and then the young boy said something else: "This house is good, but I have to climb up and shovel snow in the winter, which is too troublesome."

Ji Sang hit his son again, but this time with less force. "You kid should be content. You've only had a few days of good life, but you're already complaining about this and that. Have you forgotten the collapse of the tent the winter before last? You only shovel snow three or two times a month. What's the big deal?"

If Yuzhou wants to develop, it naturally has to absorb all kinds of talents, but they must be outstanding enough. After all, Yuzhou has already developed, so naturally it will not let the unqualified ones be lacking.

"Yes, after all, it's not easy to get the opportunity to study. Not to mention much, at least arithmetic is very practical. Naturally, everyone tried their best. If you can't rank among the top three, you can't become a direct disciple. It's a bit frustrating." The boy sighed.

Wang Zheng gave a bitter smile and instructed Zhang San, "Pass the order down, block the news for now, and make preparations. I want to go over there and take a look. I don't need to bring too many people, just a small group. This way we can go faster."

Seeing Wang Zheng getting off the ice boat, Zhang Zheng crawled in the snow, crying but not saying a word.

Wang Zheng sighed, bent down and helped Zhang Zheng up. Looking at the young face in front of him, he smiled and said, "You did a good job. This is not your fault. It's just a natural disaster. We have encountered all kinds of natural disasters over the years. It will pass if we hold on."

"well."

“Pah.”

"It's the Qaidam Basin. This must be oil leaking out. There are thousands of people working in the coal mine. This is a blessing in disguise. We still suffer from our lack of experience."

At Jisang's urging, the boy immediately jumped off the roof, went back to the house, put on his snowboard, and ran away.

Zhang San nodded and asked, "When does the master plan to leave?"

Wang Zheng patted him on the shoulder and consoled him, "You are still young, and this is something you have never encountered before. You have handled it very well. If you can still hold on, take me to see the place now."

The young man gestured the distance and direction and said, "That direction looks like a coal mine, but coal can't be so flammable, right?"

"In two hours, call all the chief officials in the city and I will give them instructions. I will go home first and leave directly after the meeting."

Ji Sang took out the small wooden sculpture from his arms and stuck it on his forehead, muttering to himself, "Thank you, Steward."

The father and son looked at each other and sighed together.

Materials are transported on the plateau in winter. After all, using ice roads for transportation can save a lot of effort, so basically all places are connected by ice roads. Wang Zheng hurried all the way, changing a batch of sled dogs every time he arrived at a place. It took only three days to reach the scene of the accident.

The fire at the coal mine has been extinguished. As we don’t know if it will reoccur, the disciples have not yet sent anyone to collect the bodies of the victims. When the disciples evacuated, they actually had someone extinguish the coal stove, but for some reason the black oil still caught fire.”

Wang Zheng smiled bitterly. The ignition point of the gas evaporated from the petroleum is extremely low. There is no need for an open flame. The temperature outside the coal stove may be able to ignite it. This is not uncommon.

"You don't need to think too much about it now. Once I get the sample, I will personally take you to test it. Then you will know the specific reason."

It didn't take much time to walk dozens of miles on the icy road. After approaching the accident site, Wang Zheng smelled the gasoline in the air and couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that oil was indeed gushing out.

Wang Zheng and his group did not go directly into the mine. Instead, under the guidance of Zhang Zheng, they got off the ice boat and climbed up a nearby low mountain, from where they could overlook the entire coal pit and all the surrounding facilities.
