I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Du Qi saw it in his eyes, but he sighed in his heart. The people of this life are not as good as the people of later generations. Although future generations are also full of various pressures, such as lending, car loans, children, etc., at least eating meat and drinking is no problem, and filling the stomach is solved long ago. Countless people in this life can’t do it if they want to eat.

After all, productivity is too low.

Regardless of the level of science and technology, or the level of life, they are seriously inadequate.

Du Qi wants to change this situation in his heart, but it is not overnight, and the journey is far away.

Du Qi chatted with Yue Laojiu again and asked about Yue Laojiu about himself and the situation in Shangyuan Village. Nowadays, many villagers in Shangyuan Village go out to work, and they also plant food in their homes.

The days of these people are pretty good, but much better than in previous years.

In previous years, there were heavy taxes.

After paying all kinds of taxes and paying the grain, it is quite good that the little grain left over can satisfy the stomach. But at the end of this year, many people have saved food and made some money to save. Life is very good.

Yue Laojiu said that he had all gone to work, but his work was slow, after all, he was getting old. But at any rate, when you are working, you can make a small amount of money to ensure that you can eat some meat.

Du Qi nodded in approval after hearing this.

This is not bad.

It seems that Ye Daosheng is in charge of Jiuquan County, and with the addition of road construction and other things, the people’s life is improving rapidly.

I will definitely live a good life.

Du Qi said goodbye to Yue Laojiu and left.

Yue Laojiu was extremely excited at this time.

He personally went out to bid farewell and sent Du Qi out of the village before Yue Laojiu turned and walked back. At this time, Yue Laojiu was already holding his head high and his face was full of pride.

The king of Pingxi came to see him.

Pingxi King did not forget the people of Yue Family.

At this time, Village Head in the village and the rest of the villagers came. When they saw Yue Laojiu, they all asked about Du Qi’s intention to come to Shangyuan Village. When they learned that Du Qi came to Yue Laojiu’s family for condolences, whether it was Village Head or the villagers, they were all envious. Because King Pingxi came to Yue Family alone, that was the recognition of Yue Laojiu.

Regardless of whether King Pingxi will come back in the future, Yue Laojiu can’t wait for him here, he must be treated with caution.

Village Head even proposed to give Lao Yue the 9th layer a new house repair, but Yue Laojiu tactfully refused. A crowd of people returned to the village amid the happy laughter and cheerful voices, and the envy of some.

Du Qi and Guo Xiaozheng went to the next house.

I went to visit Wang Shengli.

Wang Shengli’s family background is worse than Yue Laojiu. After all, Wang Shengli was a lonely old man and had a hard life. After this experience, Wang Shengli was extremely grateful to Du Qi and full of praise for Du Qi.

By this time it was almost noon.

Du Qi, accompanied by the Village Head of Shengli Village, had a light meal in the village. The meals are quite hearty, with chicken soup and mutton, which are very hearty.

Du Qi didn’t say anything in advance. After having lunch and chatting with the host family before leaving, he asked Guo Xiaozheng to give the host family some money for meals, and then left with someone.

After Du Qi left, he went to Gao Leping’s home in Dapinggou.

The Gao Leping family, it’s pretty good.

After all, Gao Leping has a family, and although Gao Leping himself was injured, his legs are inconvenient, but he knows how to operate, and with the addition of raising livestock, he can make money to support his family.

When Du Qi talked with Gao Leping, he found that Gao Leping’s house was quite warm.

This is coal burning in the house.

Du Qi saw the coal and asked: “Gao Leping, your house is burning coal. It’s cold. The room is closed for airtight. Don’t you worry about poisoning if you burn coal?”

If it is low-quality coal, the combustion will produce carbon dioxide, which is easy to poison.

Of course, the finest anthracite is different.

It can burn directly.

Even if carbon dioxide is produced, the content is extremely weak, or even none.

A smile appeared on Gao Leping’s face and said, “His Royal Highness, this coal is not the same as ordinary coal. It is not toxic. Don’t believe me, I have been using it and there is no poisoning. It’s just that many people, I don’t want to believe it, so our family uses such coal.”

Du Qi asked: “Where did you find this coal?”

Gao Leping replied: “Reporting back to Your Highness, this kind of coal is on Daping Mountain to the west of Dapinggou. There are countless coals on Daping Mountain, all of which are on the ground and can be picked up everywhere. This Commoner uses The coal rock was picked up from Daping Mountain. But this kind of coal rock is considered toxic and unusable by many people, so they are reluctant to use it.”

Du Qi heard it brightly.

Coal!

Especially the anthracite exposed on the surface, this is an opportunity. However, it is not suitable for mining because it is frozen in the cold and the mountains are covered by heavy snow today. When the spring begins, manpower can be mobilized to mine anthracite in large quantities.

Whether it is used for heating or for smelting weapons, it is all right. Once coal smelting weapons are used, the smelting temperature can be greatly increased.

After Du Qi had another conversation with Gao Leping, he finally sent food, wine, meat and cloth to the people, and finally left. Now, after walking through these three places, Du Qi heads to Daping Mountain.

Guo Xiaozheng said: “His Royal Highness, we have already walked all the places, don’t we return?”

“Don’t worry!”

Du Qi He shook his head and said: “Let’s go to Daping Mountain first and take a look at the topography of Daping Mountain.”

Guo Xiaozheng had heard the situation of coal rock before, and he said solemnly: “Your Highness, coal rock is a Very dangerous item. If you don’t pay attention to it, you may die. Mining coal, but be careful!” Du Qi said: “Let’s take a look first.”

“Yes!”

When Guo Xiaozheng heard this, he stopped saying more.

Du Qi entire group, head towards Daping Mountain, because it is not far from Ben, and it will be there in less than two quarters of walking. Now that the heavy snow falls, the entire Daping Mountain has been covered by heavy snow, and it has become wrapped in silver and white, without a layer of coal stone outside.

In such a situation, it is impossible to mine coal.

Du Qi did not order mining.

It is just that people plow away a layer of snow on the surface, pick up some coal rocks from the ground, and order to return. This time, when I returned to the county seat of Jiuquan County, when I returned to the palace, it was already dark.

After all, it gets dark early in winter.

Du Qi and Guo Xiao are in the study, the guest and host are seated.

Guo Xiaozheng said: “His Royal Highness, today I condolences Yue Laojiu and the others. After that, I am going to publicize this news and let countless people know about it, so as to establish his Highness in the common people. Position in the heart.”

Du Qi thought for a while and said: “There is no need for publicity in publicity. It only needs to be publicized on a small scale, and the people can talk about it. It is too deliberate. , There is no need.”

Guo Xiaozheng said: “Understand the humble position.”

Du Qi waved his hand, Guo Xiaozheng turned around and left.

In fact, although the news of this era is closed, word of mouth, especially Du Qi’s visit to condolences to the people, is the first time splitting heaven and earth apart for the people in Jiuquan County.

There were countless people talking soon.

In addition to the many reforms of Du Qi before, they have brought benefits to the people, and the people’s impression of Du Qi is very high. The people’s impression of Du Qi is even more deeply grateful.
