Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 345 There are treasures there

"Why did this happen?" Xuanyuan Yuchen knew that there must be some reason why she cared so much about this matter.
"I suspect that there are coal mines underground in the first generation of Huanfengguan, but most of the reserves should not be in our Beizhou, but in Beiming. Therefore, they cannot be mined now. If people in Beiming know about it, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Coal mine?" Xuanyuan Yuchen stood up and looked at Tong Xiaowu, "How did the lady know? Is there any difference?"

"It melts when the snow falls, which proves that it is an open-pit coal mine. The burial is not very deep, and the hardness of the coal is very high. It belongs to the first-class coal, which can generate high heat. Therefore, the first generation of Huanfengguan melts when the snow falls, and there are no tall trees nearby. , Because of the heat of the earth, the trees cannot live, and naturally they cannot grow!"

Tong Xiaowu explained: "According to my guess, I feel that the depth of the coal is about [-] meters below the soil layer! If it is too deep, the tall trees here must be able to survive. If they cannot survive, then it must not be Very deep!"

Xuanyuan Yuchen looked at Tong Xiaowu in surprise, and nodded after a long time, "It's a pity that it's winter now, so I can't go to survey, otherwise, I really want to find someone to take a look now..."

"The soil over there is not very cold, don't worry, we will talk about it after the new year, and this matter cannot be known to others, Yuchen, do you know? If coal is found in Beizhou, what is the significance for Xuanyuan?

The entire national power will increase several times, which is a huge profit, and the people of Beizhou will also become rich in the future, and Beizhou may become the richest state city in Xuanyuan in the future.

Of course, these also depend on the coal reserves of the Huanfengguan generation, if there are very few, none of these can be realized, but I checked, it seems that there are quite a few..."

Tong Xiaowu wanted to speak while Xuanyuan Yuchen hugged her.

"What kind of lady did I marry? I came to such a conclusion just to have a look. Lady, it's no wonder Liu Xuan and Doctor Liu admire you so much. This king will think you are a god."

"What kind of god? It's all well-founded. My former uncle studied geological prospecting, and he learned it by osmosis..." Tong Xiaowu laughed.

"If there's a chance, I'll let someone dig it up secretly, maybe I can really dig it out!"

"Not now, let's defend Beizhou, and then take down the Beiming tribe closest to Huanfengguan. Besides, we can only do it if we are sure that those mineral deposits are ours. If the people of Beiming know about this, they will It would be a disaster if all the tribes were united to grab the territory from us..."

After Tong Xiaowu finished speaking, Xuanyuan Yuchen nodded, "Indeed, we can't be too hasty, but I really want to verify it!"

"The area around Huanfeng Pass won't be frozen. If you take the iron pipe for exploration, find a place with a deep ditch, drop the drill bit, and you should be able to know the answer!"

This is a relatively old-fashioned modern exploration method. It uses iron pipes, installs a drill bit at one end, and drives piles underground. Although the beginning is similar to piling in the tomb, it is different in the later stage, because geological exploration requires a deep layer of soil, so it is necessary. The lower length is very long.

After pulling out the iron pipe, you can tell what is underneath according to the material in the iron pipe empty bucket.

"Okay, tomorrow I'll have someone make an iron pipe drill..." Xuanyuan Yuchen looked excited.

"No matter what, don't let others know about it!" Tong Xiaowu sat down and prepared to eat.

"Yeah..." Xuanyuan Yuchen nodded heavily, and brought food for her.

The recruiting of Xuanyuan Yuchen was carried out in the whole Northern State. At the beginning, Trull was particularly opposed, because they were also recruiting every year, and of course it was mandatory.

Although he didn't believe how many people Xuanyuan Yuchen could recruit in this winter, when the new year was approaching, he was after all the General Zhenbei appointed by the emperor himself.

Of course, Xuanyuan Yuchen didn't care about his thoughts at all, he was the prince of the fiefdom, so he naturally had the right to coordinate this matter, although his army was under the control of his general and he, the prince, couldn't move it, but he could build his own army.

Moreover, the emperor had already issued an order to allow him to build his own army. Of course, the reason why the emperor agreed to his proposal was mainly because he wanted to rely on the power of Xuanyuan Yuchen and Tong Xiaowu to suppress Beiming.

All around Xuanyuan, all neighboring countries are very stable, only Xijiang and Beiming are worse, Xijiang is at least stable these years, but Beiming commits crimes every year.

Don't look at the emperor sitting high in the imperial city, but he knows that the tribes of Beiming are at odds. If one day they react and the tribes are unified, then Beizhou and Qinzhou will be in danger.

So he also wanted to take this opportunity to strengthen Xuanyuan Yuchen's power in Beizhou and suppress Beiming's development.

Xuanyuan Yuchen recruited troops from all over Beizhou. The imperial court conscripted soldiers, and the military salary was two taels of silver per month, but Xuanyuan Yuchen was actually one or two taels more than the imperial conscripts. Income from working outside.

According to the income from farming, ten mu of grain can buy two taels of silver, so don't look at a big family for one tael or two taels. In the eyes of ordinary people, especially ordinary families in places like Beizhou, That's not a small amount.

According to the law of Xuanyuan, families with only one child are not required to join the army. For families with two sons, one must join the army. If there are many children and grandchildren, only one of them can join the army. So despite the sparse population of Beizhou, there is still a surplus of labor.

In Beizhou City, outside Prince Xuan's Mansion, the Conscription Office directly registers and checks, and distributes clothes and silver taels. That is to say, as long as you agree to enlist in the army, you can advance one month's military salary in the first month.

That's three taels of silver, which is not a small amount for many families, and there are still ten days before the Chinese New Year. Everyone wants to have a good year, so there are a lot of people who sign up for the conscription this time.

"I, I, this is my identity badge. I am from Heilang County. I work in Beizhou. I want to be a soldier!"

"I want it too, I want it too..."

"Count me in……"

Standing in the side door, Tong Xiaowu looked at the people who signed up in the concierge next door, and understood that everyone was forced by life. If they had money, who would be willing to do such a job that would cause them to lose their heads at any time?

Of course, there are some patriots among them, but the Chinese New Year is only ten days away. I really hope that the people from Beiming will not suddenly come to commit crimes. Otherwise, if people die, how can they celebrate the New Year?

Tong Xiaowu left the palace, followed by Lu Xing and Zhang Quan, and the three of them came to the city wall to check. After more than ten days of hard work, the city wall was almost repaired.
