Coal is widely used. In industrial use, steel and iron can be used, and in civil use, it can be used to cook rice and water. Generally, honeycomb coal and coal cakes are used... Qian Xiaoxing immediately asked the people to find some coal, smashed it, and then added some yellow mud and mixed it together, and pinched it into the size of a ping-pong ball, which was burned in the sun.

The people all surrounded him curiously, and Qian Xiaoxing explained to everyone: "This is called honeycomb coal. After it is dried, it can be used to make a fire and cook."

"It's so strange that this can still be burned." The people didn't believe it very much, and they watched and started to discuss.

Seeing that the people were present, Qian Xiaoxing did not forget about the recruitment of female soldiers and said to everyone: "Men can dig coal and make money, while women can join our Sijun. Not only do they control food and accommodation, but they also have five taels of military salary every month. If you are willing to participate, you can sign up at Sima Chuchu. She is the head general of our Sijun Ye Cherry Band."

The people immediately started to discuss it. Many people also saw the style of the Wild Cherry Group. When they attacked the Hu army, they were also majestic and powerful. Everyone expressed their opinions that they would send women of the right age at home to join the army.

After arranging the matter of Sima Chuchu's female soldiers, Qian Xiaoxing and Ling Yi led everyone to dig coal. After walking out of Yubi City about three miles, there was an open-pit coal mine. The ground within a few miles was pitch black. After Qian Xiaoxing taught the people to distinguish which high-quality coal were, everyone picked up their hoes and dug them up.

Qian Xiaoxing saw that the hoes were made of copper. Although the coal on the surface was weathered and easier to dig, the bottom was much harder, and it was difficult to dig with copper. It seemed that some iron tools must be made.

Ling Yi also tried to dig it out and said, "Brother-in-law, digging a hoe will make money. This money is really easy to make."

Qian Xiaoxing smiled and said, "If these coals really want to turn into money, it depends on you. In addition to making iron, these coals must also be made into honeycomb coal and sold to people's homes, and they can be sold."

"This is definitely a market. If a woodcutter cuts a load of firewood and sells it, it will cost a day's wage. As long as it is not very expensive, the people can accept it." Ling Yi said confidently.

Qian Xiaoxing agreed: "But the big head is still used for smelting. Those places where gold and silver are alchemy can be sold, and this depends on Brother Ling."

"No problem, I will try my best to expand sales." Ling Yi replied confidently.

Qian Xiaoxing thought that there were six cities that needed to help the poor and said, "We can't stay here for too long. Other cities are waiting for us to go there. Then we can arrange to manage the place by one person. I'll use the local people when I return to the city. I'll recruit you."

When the two returned to Yubi City, Qian Xiaoxing found the old man and asked, "Who in your city has a bit of prestige?"

The old man thought for a while and said, "That should be me."

Qian Xiaoxing saw that the old man was too old and had to ask, "What about you?"

"That should be my son." The old man replied seriously.

"Oh, call me and have a look." Qian Xiaoxing ordered.

After a while, the old man's son called him, and he saw that he was about thirty years old and looked honest. He listened to his self-introduction and said, "I have met General Qian, and my name is Jinde. I don't know what the general is asking for me?"

"Jinde, Jin has to be a good name. It seems that we will have a lot of money." Qian Xiaoxing praised and said, "My Qian Group is planning to set up a coal mine factory in Yubi City. Now there is a lack of management personnel. I want you to do it if you want to?"

Jinde couldn't help asking: "Is it just to manage everyone's mining coal?"

Qian Xiaoxing explained: "Yes, it means arranging everyone's work, and then paying everyone's wages, and being responsible for the in and out of the goods."

"Okay, since General Qian looks at me, I will learn from the beginning and work hard to do it." Jin De was not humble and agreed.

Qian Xiaoxing said happily: "Now I have another coal mine factory under my Qian Group. I am very happy. Jinde, you don't have to worry. I will send someone to teach you how to manage it."

Qian's Group is also very famous among businessmen. Jin De once heard that when he saw that he could join Qian's Group today, he said excitedly: "Thank you, General Qian, for the cultivation, I will do it well."

Qian Xiaoxing laughed and said, "Since you have joined my Qian Group, you can't call me General Qian. If you want to call me Chairman, you can call me Dong Qian."

"Dr. Qian, Qian understands?" Jin De thought for a while and couldn't help but say, "The chairman really knows money very well. He can make so much money."

Everyone laughed after hearing this. Qian Xiaoxing saw Sima Chuchu recruiting soldiers from afar. He buried his head in the process of registering, walked over and asked, "How many female soldiers have been recruited?"

Sima Chuchu said angrily: "I also said that I would help the Ye Sakura Group recruit soldiers. I didn't see you. You can see how many you recruited." After that, Sima Chuchu threw the notebook over.

Qian Xiaoxing took the notebook and looked at it. He saw that there were thirty people registered on one page. He flipped through the registration for more than twenty pages, and there were more than six hundred people. He praised: "It's good, good, keep working hard."

The coal mine in Yubi City began to operate, and the dug coal accumulated into a hill. Qian Xiaoxing has also notified Huang Wenqiang to complete the wooden tracks here as soon as possible to facilitate transportation.

With coal, Qian Xiaoxing couldn't help but think of the steam train. If it could be done, transportation would be much more convenient.

Qian Xiaoxing still knows some principles of the steam engine. After all, he has learned it in physics classes. When the water in the steam engine boils, the air in the cylinder expands sharply, pushing the piston in the cylinder. The piston drives the wheels connected to the rear. On the left and right sides of the lever connected to it are the wheels of the train, which makes the train move.

Qian Xiaoxing was idle and drew a sketch. This steam engine was not so easy to do, but as long as you know the principle and slowly modify it, it will be realized one day.

Qian Xiaoxing thought of Yang Sishi in this task of manufacturing steam locomotives. He used to be a vehicle manufacturer and was very good at manufacturing vehicles. Now he works in an arsenal and has completed many precision weapons such as sniper bows. Compared with this steam engine, the parts are relatively simple.

Thinking of this, Qian Xiaoxing not only drew the pictures, but also explained the purpose in detail everywhere. He wrote more than a dozen chapters of paper. After completion, he immediately sent them to Yang Sishi, the arsenal for the development of the development.

Ling Yi saw Qian Xiaoxing drawing pictures for a day. Whenever Qian Xiaoxing started drawing pictures, there must be new things. Ling Yi certainly would not miss them. He asked, "Brother-in-law, you have been drawing for so long this time, so you must be a good thing."

"This time things will definitely open your eyes." Qian Xiaoxing said mysteriously.

Ling Yi said happily: "Really? What is it? It's fresher than air conditioners and tricycles?"

Qian Xiaoxing nodded and said, "Compared with air conditioning and tricycle, it's a big deal. Brother Ling, if I say I can pull the wooden rail car without pulling it, would you say this thing be good?"

"Can you pull the wooden rail car without a horse?" Ling Yi asked in surprise, "Is there really such a thing?"

"Yes, of course there are!" Qian Xiaoxing said affirmatively: "But this thing is still in the research and development stage. If it is really done, it will probably take a while to wait. I will let you see it after it is done."

"Well, then you must call me!" Ling Yi looked expectant.
Chapter completed!
