I’m Marquis in Great Tang

The weather in late November was getting colder and colder, and even big snowflakes were already falling. The entire inside and outside of Yiwu County was enveloped in a piece of wrapped in silver and white, becoming a piece of white world.

So far, many things have stopped, and the people are all idle.

Du Qi doesn’t wear thick clothes, and his clothes are loose.

He is reading in the study.

Only when Du Qi was reading a book, the attendant entered several times and added charcoal to the brazier to dispel the chill. Although there are currently mined anthracite stones, the taste of anthracite is not as good as that of charcoal. In Du Qi’s palace, the subordinates used coal stone, while Du Qi himself used charcoal.

Du Qi was bored when he was free from reading, his eyes fell on the burning charcoal.

Charcoal burning, not at all smoke.

On the contrary, there is a hint of fragrance permeating the charcoal, making the smell of the room very good. Du Qi’s thoughts flew to the coal that is now being sold.

Coal has been widely sold, and many people can afford it. After all, it is not expensive. In addition, the people in Yizhou nowadays, because Du Qi exempts many taxes and has countless fortifications, the people’s life is generally good, and there is no shortage of money to buy a little coal. After all, coal stone can be used for heating and boiling water. It has many uses, and many people are buying it.

This is a big industry today.

What Du Qi thought of was the Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette of later generations. At a certain stage in later life, Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette is a must for every household. It wasn’t until gas and natural gas were widely promoted that Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette gradually withdrew from the mainstream.

This is the case, Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette still has a place, after all, many places are available.

Du Qi wants to manufacture Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette, he needs the machine of manufacture Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette. In the current environment, there is no mechanization at all. Nowadays, it is more manual, so the complicated Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette manufacture machine must be impossible.

The only thing that can be made is the simplest manual 12-hole Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette mold.

Such a mold manufacturer Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette is entirely manual. Although the speed is slow, on the current basis, it is sufficient to meet the needs of the moment, and such productivity requires many workers to work. It can also make people work and make money.

Du Qi searched in his mind and found the twelve-hole Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette manufacturer’s abrasive tool, and began to copy the sketch.

This mold is not complicated.

After several revisions to the sketch drawn by Du Qi, each part of the mold is marked. When it comes to parts, in fact, the mold is the simplest, not much marked. In a short period of time, Du Qi has been fully completed. After the ink dries up, Du Qi puts away the manufacturing picture, instructed: “Liu Jian!”

“In!”

Liu Jian enters the room to answer.

Du Qi said: “Get ready, let’s go to the University of Science and Technology.”

“Yes!”

Liu Jian answered immediately.

When it comes to the manufacture of Hexagonal Household Coal Briquette molds, the craftsmen at Du Qi’s house are not good, and they have to rely on the cooperation of many craftsmen who make Academy. Du Qi went to the University of Science and Technology to take a look at the situation inside the school.

Now it’s windy and snowy outside, but the main streets in the city are all cleaned. Moreover, the main official roads inside and outside Yiwu County, Yizhou, are now poured with concrete. The roads are easy to clean and pass through, and the speed of driving is fast.

Carriage drives on it, it is easy to pass.

Du Qi sat in the Carriage, looking at the current Yiwu County town, with a smile on his face. Because today’s Yiwu County is quite clean, adjustments have been made everywhere, and it looks pretty good overall.

Du Qi lifted the curtains of Carriage and looked out, except for the concrete official road, it was still white.

There are big snowflakes floating in the sky.

There are concrete roads on the ground, and the snow quickly melts after falling on the ground. And even if there is some snow, the roads in the city will need to be cleaned every other time, so there is no fear of snow closure.

“Hah! Ha!”

At this moment, Du Qi suddenly heard a shout. Curious in his heart, he looked through the curtains of Carriage and saw that there were about a hundred people on the road ahead, rushing neatly.

The clothes of more than one hundred people are very ordinary, even some of them are relatively thin. And this group of people are hair grey-white, or less forty-fifty years old.

In their hands, everyone is carrying a broom.

This scene surprised Du Qi a bit.

What kind of battle is this?

Especially a group of elderly people carrying brooms, walking neatly in the cold weather, and some of them are not well dressed. There was heavy snow flying in the sky and a cold wind was blowing, but a group of elderly people were on their way.

Du Qi said: “Stop!”

When the driver heard this, he tightened his horse’s rein, Carriage stopped, and stopped driving forward.

Liu Jian said: “Noble Son, what’s the matter?”

He is sitting on the shaft.

As for Morado, he rode with him on the road without sitting on the cowl.

Du Qi said: “Liu Jian, go and ask, what are these elderly people doing neatly on their way? It’s cold, a group of people walking on the official road is very strange. Remember. , Don’t reveal your identity, please find out first.”

“Yes!”

Liu Jian got the order and immediately jumped off the Carriage.

He hurried forward.

Liu Jian did not ask the old man, but went straight to the front and saw the leader. The leader was an old man, about fifty years away, his body was quite vigorous and his clothes were slightly thicker.

Liu Jian stepped up to get in touch with the situation. Fortunately, the leader was kind and smiled and said: “Our group of people are all sweeping the floor, and we are in charge of the streets in the city. Because of the arrangements above, we Discipline must be rectified. The above requirements are that we must have the spirit of a soldier and the discipline of a soldier, so let us line up to practice walking in the city in the cold weather.”

Liu Jian heard After that, I was stunned.

He really doesn’t understand how the street sweepers need to be practiced, disciplined, and like a soldier.

Liu Jian said: “Sir, you people are only responsible for cleaning the streets, not going to the battlefield, and no matter what other things. What’s the point, it also requires the spirit of a soldier. What is the truth? Ah!”

The leading old man smiled helplessly and said: “We know that, anyway, we people are generally around 50 years old. It is not easy to do things, and farming is no longer possible.”

“Now that the government is willing to let us do things and give us the opportunity to make money, this is a great gift.”

“Although the salary is very low, at least it can make money to support the family. Not to mention supporting the family Living, you can at least subsidize the family. This age can make money, which is also very good.”

Liu Jian said: “As for this exercise, there is nothing wrong with it anyway. Practice it, after all, every month. The money was given out.”

Liu Jian wrinkled frowned after hearing this.

He really doesn’t understand.

Liu Jian asked: “How long do you have to practice this day?”

The old man said: “It takes about an hour to walk around the city. Anyway. We don’t have much to do now. If you want to turn around, let’s turn around.”

Liu Jian shook his head at hearing, but didn’t ask more, turned around and left. He returned to Carriage’s car shaft and immediately said: “Noble Son, I have found out clearly.”

Du Qi said: “What is the situation?”

Liu Jian Reporting: “Reporting back to Noble Son, this group of people are responsible for sweeping the street. They are now practicing on the street. According to the old man, the reason why they practiced is because the officials above said that they need to rectify the discipline. You must have the discipline of a soldier. That’s why you have to practice like this.”

Du Qi asked: “How long does the practice last?”

Liu Jian said: “About an hour , They want to go around the city.”

Du Qi frowned, his face flashed with anger. The government recruited these many elderly people to do things in order to give them opportunities so that they could make some money.

This matter is to make the people’s life better, not to add trouble to the people.
