Since last year, when honeycomb coal was transported to Shanhaiguan, Ningyuan City and Jinzhou City, Liao Shicong was interested in honeycomb coal, a magical tool that has a huge effect on the Northeast.

Not only Liao Shicong, but all the people and soldiers in the western Liaoning Corridor praised the honeycomb coal.

They feel that there is nothing more important and better than honeycomb coal in winter, and it is even more precious than food.

People who have not lived in extreme cold weather will not know what kind of tears will feel when entering a warm room.

To be honest, he once secretly found a workshop to copy it.

Because the imperial court transported honeycomb coal, the price when it arrived at Shanhaiguan would rise to three cents, four cents when it arrived at Ningyuan City, and five cents when it arrived at Jinzhou City.

This is just a cost, and if it is converted into a trade transaction, it will be even more expensive.

If it can be produced locally in Liaoning, it will not only save more military spending, but also create a job opportunity for everyone. Looking at Xinye, Sichuan always has 30,000 to 50,000 workers, it would be strange if Liao Shicong is not jealous.

But unfortunately, they can't do it.

Even if it is made with pure coal, it is not as good as other people's honeycomb coal.

From combustion time, firepower, storage convenience, etc., all of them are lagging behind.

The price of making coal is ten cents per person. If you make hundreds of thousands of yuan, it may be a little cheaper, but I might as well buy five cents per person from Prince Yu’s Mansion.

Not only does it burn more fully, but it is also very easy to store. Even if it is covered with heavy snow, you can keep it for two days and then dry it and continue to use it, and the effect will not be affected at all.

You have to admire Prince Yu's genius power, and he can make such a magical thing.

Originally, Liao Shicong gave up this idea, but don’t so many people need to be placed now?

If they need to be resettled, they need to find a job to support their family, then they need a large workshop.

So the honeycomb coal workshop once again came into Liao Shicong's sight.

He was not afraid that Liu Mingqi would not agree.

Before, Liu Mingqi had established a honeycomb coal workshop in Guizhou because she wanted to help the natives of Guizhou.

Now Liaoning is still hungry for feeding. According to His Royal Highness De's character, he will never sit idly by.

This turned out to be true.

After he said this, Liu Mingqi understood and then agreed readily.

This made Liao Shicong really grateful from the bottom of his heart.

Liu Mingqi did this not to make money, but to resettle these ordinary people.

"I will write to my mother here and ask her to make arrangements quickly, and then strive for the people from Prince Yu's Mansion to arrive in Liaoning in half a month, and then start to detect the place and see where to build the workshop." Liu Mingqi continued, "It is late August, and at the latest, the workshop will start operating, and then officially start providing honeycomb coal for people in two or three nearby provinces."

"good!"

Liao Shicong admires Liu Mingqi's efficiency in doing things quickly.

He said seriously: "We have many coal mines in western Liaoning, which must be very suitable for the establishment of a honeycomb coal workshop! Your Highness, please rest assured, I am in charge of Chengde, and I will personally supervise and handle all matters, and there will be no difficulties or obstacles!"

"Um!"

The boy smiled and said nothing.

In fact, he had already made plans to open the coal mine.

Anyone who has read history knows that the first modern joint-stock coal mine opened by the Qing Dynasty Westernization Movement was Kailuan Mining Bureau, which is located in Tangshan.

Then there was also a Chengde coal mine in Chengde where Liao Shicong was stationed.

Both coal mines are large coal mines, and according to their current productivity, it is enough for a hundred years.

All he said about exploration was just some excuses.

You can't just say where you are right now, as this seems too hasty and without any conscience.

He suddenly remembered something: "What a pity! It's said that the merchants and residents in the Sanwuguan area like honeycomb coal very much! They were very rich before, and if they were fine, they could make a lot of money there."

"Yes, they bought a lot last year, and they liked it very much. They are all going to buy it again this year." Liao Shicong sighed one after another, "But this year they are in trouble. They can only take a boat to leave this sad place after surviving this winter!"

"As long as their people are still there, there will always be a day of turning over." Liu Mingqi also expressed regret.

In fact, none of these people were the biggest customers he expected.

The biggest customers are the princes, nobles and residents in the four major capitals of Shiwei, as well as the heads and rich people from various tribes!

Once these people's consumption power is stimulated, they are still worried that the two honeycomb coal workshops here will not be enough!

But now that the war has begun, it is conceivable that the court will definitely blockade with revenge, and it is impossible to do any business with the Shiwei people.

Even Dakang needs a lot of delicacies from Shi Wei, a century-old tree, etc., which must be abandoned cruelly.

However, Liu Mingqi’s idea is different from theirs.

Dakang was worried that the economy would prosper, so he solved their problems.

Little do we know that in modern times, there are economic methods to directly kill a country.

As long as you can ensure that you can get the greatest benefits and rely on doing business to continue to strengthen yourself, then your business can be done.

When they become stronger, they will be destroyed directly. Wouldn’t all the money they made back to their own pockets?

According to Shi Wei's weak economic foundation and very primitive commercial trade methods, people like Liu Mingqi who are not from the financial industry can spend more than ten years to completely get them done.

Unfortunately, in this situation, if Liu Mingqi continues to do business with them, she will definitely be resisted and scolded from top to bottom.

Liu Mingqi is not afraid of any rumors, but he will not do anything against everyone.

Anyway, the Wei people need to learn a lesson, so let him go.

In fact, Liu Mingqi felt that what should be taught more was Jin Chenbai from Qiyan's Helda Su tribe.

This kid is not old, but he is just an old silver coin.

He did a lot of sow discord and inciting trouble. Now Dakang has fought with almost everyone, but among all the forces, they are the ones who have suffered the least damage.

Liu Mingqi has deep taboos towards the Qiyan clan.

In terms of which tribe in history has caused the greatest harm to the Central Plains civilization, it can only be Qiyan.

If they hadn't interrupted the transformation of Central Plains civilization from farming to commerce, we would have entered a capitalist society and crushed the world through maritime power.

Of course there is no if in the world, and capitalism is definitely not as suitable as the current system.

Just look at the situation in the past two years, you can deeply understand how happy it is to live on this land.

The topic is far from the bottom of the question.

Although Jin Chenbai is not very strong now, he is very brainy, and has a lot of talents under his command, and has keen observation skills.

Such a person is very difficult to deal with even if he cannot become Temujin or even if he is just a Kublai Khan.

After all, the cavalry's withdrawal from the stage of history will have to wait for the invention of machine guns.

Liu Mingqi probably won't be able to make such a machine gun in her life, but it will take a chasm of the times.

It is a product of a whole generation of industrial revolutions, not something that Liu Mingqi could do alone.

So if that invincible begging soldier really comes out, it will still be a very troublesome thing.

Even if Liu Mingqi can defeat them on the Central Plains, if they hide on the Qiyan Plateau and on the vast grassland, where will you fight against them?

Of course, this matter will be in the future.

The Qiyan tribe has not only split into many small tribes, but also none of them are easy to mess with, and no one is willing to let them rise.

Jin Chenbai wanted to make any big noise, but Liu Mingqi didn't need to take action. Xi Qiang and Shi Wei were going to deal with him.

...

After talking to Liao Shicong, Liu Mingqi asked the General of Jinwu Guard next to him: "General Fang, I wonder how many horses we can use now?"

"After a rough count, there are about 60,000 horses that can be used, and then more than 10,000 injured horses are useless, and there is no way to use them." Fang Kaiyue said: "What we mean is to first cut the dead horses and cook for the people. Then, if the injured horses have time and opportunity, they can be transported to the ship and then taken to the mainland for ordinary cargo transportation, which is competent."

"good!"

Liu Mingqi didn't understand these professions, and he just said what he cared about: "How do you allocate personnel?"

"The wounded soldiers stay here and retreat with the people. Then we will leave five thousand elite soldiers to be responsible for sniping and cutting off the rear." Fang Kaiyue said calmly, "The remaining 30,000 people are resting now. At noon, they will join me, riding on two horses, and running towards Ningyuan City."

The battle last night did not last night, but in fact, the large-scale battle ended at two or three in the morning.

Then now only a small part of the army is cleaning the battlefield.

According to Fang Kaiyue, it must be the five thousand troops that were not busy leaving were cleaning.

The remaining 30,000 people have now rested for five or six hours and will continue to sleep until noon.

After all, in the next few days, they first had to rush on their way, and then they had to fight with the enemy in life and death, which was also their rare opportunity to rest.

Fang Kaiyue was a little bit hard, and he had to discuss countermeasures with Liu Mingqi and the others before he could sleep for a while.

"When the wooden grenade is said, "Leave two thousand troops left for the broken rear army, and you can take away the rest!"

The stock of wooden grenades in Jinzhou City was distributed to Fang Kaiyue and Liu Mingjing and others, and Liu Mingqi only had 15,000 pieces left.

Now both sides are divided into parts, which is very fair.

As a result, Ma Kun from Yulin Guard said directly: "Your Highness, let's just stop it and take them all away."
