The coal province is in the east of the grassland. As the name suggests, this province produces coal.

Coal is a black energy buried underground. It is a solid combustible mineral gradually formed by ancient plants buried underground through complex biochemical and physicochemical changes.

Coal is known as black gold and industrial food. It is one of the main energy sources used in the human world since the 18th century. Even with nuclear energy, the value of coal is not as good as before, and it still belongs to one of the indispensable energy sources for human production and life.

For the Han Dynasty, coal province has been the most important place for coal production since ancient times.

In prehistoric times millions of years ago, this area was a vast lake, known as "Datong Lake" in history. It has a warm climate, abundant rainfall and dense forests. After crustal movement, the vast virgin forest has become a rich underground treasure: coal.

There is no clear record of when coal was used. The only guess is that coal has been mined and used from the outcrop of coal seams since the Neolithic age.

Shui Jing Zhu, written by Li Daoyuan, is the earliest written record about the spontaneous combustion of coal seams and the development and utilization of coal in this area.

At present, the coal mining in the coal province is the main pillar of the Republic, accounting for more than half of the coal mining and output to support the construction of the motherland.

There are also important state-owned coal production bases here, mining day and night.

In the past, no one dared to move his mind here, but now it's different.

The country's reform and opening up has allowed some people to get rich first and make money on their own.

Relying on mountains and rivers, since relying on coal province, it is of course coal mining!

The State encourages you. As long as you have the courage, you can borrow money from credit cooperatives. After lending the money, you can open coal mines, dig coal, and sell it. If you sell it, you can make money, and you can hire more workers to dig coal.

However, these are all formal procedures.

The country's resources cannot be mined casually. Coal mining needs approval and various procedures. When these procedures are completed, it needs to pay taxes to the country, that is, part of the income still needs to be given to the country.

For some people eager to get rich, turning over to the state is absolutely not willing, so they adopted a very simple way to steal coal!

Anyway, there are barren mountains everywhere, and few people come. Several people gather together to secretly dig coal. No one knows. Dig it out and sell it, and the money will go directly into their own pockets.

When the first batch of coal is sold, the pockets are bulging and there is power. At this time, there will be another problem.

There is a serious shortage of coal diggers.

Yes, all people are eager to make money and get rich. People in this era have no awareness of safe work. They don't know what dust pollution is. Even if there is dust everywhere, they still dare to breathe and work.

However, mining coal is definitely a hard work. This labor intensity will make many middle-aged workers unbearable.

This privately dug small coal mine is just like the coal mine in the old society. There are no safety measures, no support, no ventilation equipment, and there may be landslides or gas explosions at any time.

At the same time, there are no railway tracks and no trains. People dig coal out of it and carry it out on their backs by relying on their own physical strength. Some tunnels are even relatively short. People can't stand up in it and can only walk on their stomach, which is almost like animals.

The labor intensity is high and life is in danger. If there is no way out, absolutely no one is willing to work in a private small coal mine.

At this time, an ancient means appeared again, black coal kiln.

There are many explanations for the so-called black coal mine. For example, coal is black. For example, the hearts of people here are black. For example, an interest group has been formed from top to bottom, and so on.

Apart from rich coal reserves, the coal province has not been injected with any vitality factor, not to mention its remote counties. Surrounded by mountains, these counties have neither economic vitality nor tourism resources, and the environment is so bad that it is difficult for people to survive. Such a small place lacks any attention and vitality, so it is doomed that all bad habits and ignorance are easier to breed and germinate here, and all greed for profit is intensified here, All uncontrollable power has developed inextricably here.

It is in these valleys where there is neither management nor civilization that the worst form of labor appears, that is, slaves.

These workers were trafficked.

Generally, people with intellectual disabilities are the majority. These people have no brain and can only be enslaved by bad people. After they sell them, they will do such hard work all day. Until they die, they will be thrown into the gully and eaten by wild wolves without any trace.

There are also a few healthy people. Such people are the object of strict supervision. They will be beaten at any time in the black coal mine, so that they give up running away and sell coolies all the time. They have no salary and no personal freedom. Once they enter the black coal mine, there is only the last outcome, they are drained of their last flesh and blood, and then die.

In later generations, Qin Guan has heard of the existence of such black coal kilns, similar to black brick kilns, and so on. Even in the 21st century, there is still such barbaric existence in the 19th century, the greed and cruelty of evil forces, the inaction of local grass-roots government institutions and cadres, even colluding with evil forces, and the local villagers are generally silent.

Various factors tangled together, making the existence of black coal mines become an indelible ugliness.

The poor mountains and rivers make trouble for the people, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the county officials are not as good as the current management. One by one, the black coal mines have always existed and become the cancer of the society.

With the continuous progress of national civilization, there is such barbarism.

Qin Guan is not an omnipotent Savior. When Qin Guan came to this era, he just wanted to rely on his own ability to help the strength of the motherland's military industry and make the motherland a strong country in the world. But now, Qin Guan has to be busy with such small things at the grass-roots level.

Wu Lei was sold to a black coal mine, and Qin Guan needed to rescue Wu Lei.

They really dare not kill. After all, killing pays for life. They are not big villains, just a group of gangsters. However, what they do is still immoral. They abduct and sell people. What is waiting for them must be severely punished by the law!
