Da Qin: At the age of six, I beat Qin Shihuang at the beginning

Chapter 180 Coal Stones Are Present, Xiang Yu Questions

Er Gou raised his head, but no one around paid attention to him, he gritted his teeth, and with a strong hand, a hard stone-like thing jumped out with the pick.

It was a flat, boulder-like thing covered with brown, moist dirt.

He picked it up with his hands, and it weighed fifty or sixty catties!
Er Gou ran towards Qin Mu's direction, he was a little proud, this is probably what Mr. Qin Mu said!

Qin Mu didn't give them any details. For one thing, he only knew that there was a coal mine nearby, but he didn't know the exact time when the coal mine was mined.Secondly, even if I say it, Ergou and the others may not understand it.

So, he just said, let them dig the ground, find something unusual, and send it to him.

These days, he has piled up a lot of useless things around him.

What moss-covered tiles, ginseng-like grass roots, odd-shaped pottery, and even weird-shaped clods...

All sorts of things, as long as it is something that the folk husbands have never seen, they will desperately send it to him, and then pile it all aside.

Qin Mu was a little at a loss. Did he come to look for coal mines, or did he come here to collect junk?
He saw Ergou running over from afar.

This kid, in the past three days, he has been the most diligent in running here.Others go once, he can go three times.He contributed at least [-]% of this pile of waste.

However, this is not without benefits.

At least, Qin Mu remembered his name, and he also vaguely became the leader of this group of peasants.

"My lord, look, I have dug up something unusual! I have a hunch that this is the one you are looking for!"

Qin Mu lay on the chair with a helpless expression on his face: "Ergou, you have said this eighteen times, which one came true?"

Er Gou blushed, and said forcefully: "This time it's different, I have a hunch, it must be this!"

Qin Mu was still too lazy to move.

In fact, he was a little strange that he hadn't dug it for such a long time.

After all, the place I found was a famous open-pit coal mine in my previous life!

The so-called open-pit coal mine, as the name suggests, is a coal mine exposed on the ground.Of course, it may not be exposed at first, but the buried soil layer must be very shallow, there is no need for a large mine, and the difficulty of mining is extremely low.

This kind of coal mine can be mined with only a few people carrying shovels on their backs, and it is also the main type of coal mine mined in ancient China.

Since it is in the open air, it is actually a bit abnormal that it has not been dug out for so long.

If it was really so difficult that even Qin Mu couldn't find it, how could those ancient people who didn't have any knowledge of prospecting find it?

Seeing that Qin Mu didn't move, Ergou felt a little uncomfortable: "Young master, did I disturb you? I'm sorry, I won't casually say those things are strange in the future..."

Qin Mu hummed.

Er Gou threw the stone in his arms to the ground: "Master, I just want to talk to you. In order to hold this stone, I have to work hard. It is full of mud and my clothes are dirty. Hey , Why did my clothes turn black?"

On the reclining chair, Qin Mu's body froze.

As if loaded with springs, he flew up from the reclining chair and jumped in front of the stone thrown by Ergou.

The outside of this stone is flat and covered with thick clay, but the place where Ergou's clothes rubbed just now is clearly black with sunlight reflecting!
black!Qin Mu was so excited!

Except in Xianyang for so long, I eat and sleep in dew every day!Abandoning the big soft bed in the Xianyang Supervisory Garden, losing the delicious meals every day, and staying away from the field of roasted sweet potatoes that was being harvested, the result...

Finally got the coal!

"Hahahahaha!" Qin Mu laughed loudly.

"Er Gou! You are really my lucky general! I found it, I found it!"

For a while, all the peasants in the field looked here.

They dug for a long time, but they didn't know what Qin Mu was looking for. Now that they knew that something had been brought out, they were all very curious and surrounded him.

"what is this?"

"I don't know! I heard that the stone was dug out by Ergou! As a result, Mr. Qin Mu said that he was looking for this!"

"Just this thing? If you want stones, aren't there all over the mountain? Why did you go to this flat bottom to dig?"

"What do you know! This is not an ordinary stone, this is a black stone, and there are black stones on your mountain?"

"On the nearby Xuanwu Mountain, there are black stones!"

"Um... what do you know! Can the rocks on the mountain be the same as the rocks in the ground?"

Folk husbands, you glanced at me and discussed with each other, when suddenly a voice called out.

"I see! This is not an ordinary stone, this is a flint!"

Qin Mu was puzzled, flint?Is the name so random?

Seeing his doubts, Ergou quickly explained: "Young Master Qin, we sometimes have a kind of stone that is piled together, and sometimes it catches fire by itself! And once it catches fire, it can't be extinguished!"

Qin Mu smiled slightly: "What is flint? This is called coal! The situation you mentioned is because a large amount of coal is piled together, and the temperature is too high to spontaneously ignite!"

Er Gou seemed to understand, but he shouted and began to explain science to others: "Shut up! What kind of flint! This is called coal! You guys who don't know much!"

"That... coal, on fire, because he will stop himself..."

Qin Mu corrected with a smile: "Spontaneous combustion!"

The crowd burst into laughter.

Qin Mu asked someone to fetch two buckets of water to wash away the dirt on the coal.

A black lump of coal appeared, and that huge lump of coal shone faintly in the sun, appearing somewhat mysterious.

Xiang Yu squeezed in the crowd, wanted to reach out to touch, but held back.

who is he?Peerless hero!If you rush to reach out and touch this thing.Isn't it the same as those folk husbands?

He snorted coldly: "I've never seen this thing before! What are you looking for?"

His tone was cold and hard, and the people around him involuntarily stepped back half a step to give him some space.

Qin Mu smiled: "This thing can be used as firewood!"

Xiang Yu frowned: "Although this coal has the name of fire, it is an exaggeration to use it as firewood. The firewood is warm because it burns wood. But this stone is cold and hard. Even if it can burn, how can it be warm?"

He clasped his hands a few times, and the coal stone made a dull sound: "This thing is so hard, even if it is going to burn, it may not last long! If you take this opportunity to let us chop firewood, I'm afraid it is enough for you to accumulate enough firewood now." Burning firewood in winter!"

Qin Mu smiled: "If this coal burns, it will not only be hotter, but also last longer than firewood!"

They all know that Mr. Qin Mu has considered us so much, so we can't let Mr. Qin Mu pay for nothing!
Even if you don't rest at noon, you still have to help Mr. Qin find those strange black stones!

Ergou gritted his teeth, and ruthlessly planed the ground with the pickaxe in his hand.

one more time.

Suddenly, Ergou's hand trembled, as if he had dug something!
