Chapter 88 The Sin Slave Trade (Part 1)

After Chen Ying came to Lingzhou, the biggest change that brought to Lingzhou was the use of carbonite instead of firewood. In order for the people of Lingzhou to survive the cold winter, Chen Ying brought the kangs and fire walls of later generations to this era. The carbonite mined was loaded on four-wheeled carriages and transported them into Lingzhou City, or the six counties of Lingzhou to use the 18 towns of Lingwu to serve the people to cook, boil water or keep warm. In the entire Lingzhou area, almost no one uses firewood anymore.

Even if you don’t want to spend money on charcoal, you can sweep some of it on the official road with a broom, and the carbohydrate powder is enough to consume it every day. With the development of carbohydrate, this thing is also mixed into part of the soil and processed into honeycomb coal balls. However, whether it is a fire pit or a fire wall, it is not as convenient as a fire. It is not as convenient as a fire pit to burn dry firewood. There is a way to burn from shallow to luxury, but from luxury to shallow. Lingzhou people are used to using coal as firewood, so they can no longer change it.

Especially after Guo Zhun moved to Lingzhou with his family, he started a soft iron workshop. Guo Zhun used the method given to him by Chen Ying and began to build a simple coal ball stove and iron chimney. Less than five months after Guo Zhun arrived in Lingzhou, the soft iron ball stove entered thousands of households.

With the large-scale use of coal ball furnaces, Lingzhou's consumption of carbohydrates gradually increased. In terms of production and life alone, Lingzhou had about 150,000 people, a total of more than 46,000 households, and consumed more than 200,000 kilograms of carbohydrates every day. After the cold winter, with the consumption of fire pits and fire walls, carbohydrates directly increased by nearly three times, and now it consumed nearly 600,000 kilograms of carbohydrates. If the primary school established by Li Daozhen and the heating consumption of workshops was included, the daily consumption of carbohydrates and ox carbohydrates would be consumed in more than 1.5 million kilograms of carbohydrates in later generations, if in later generations, the carrying capacity of only seven or eight coal king trucks was only carried, but for this time, it was more than a hundred times more difficult. Because of carbohydrates, many industries have been derived, and cow carriages with counterfeit carriages and carriages began to appear in large quantities.

When there were as many as two or three thousand four-wheeled carriages and ox carts in Lingzhou, some problems arose. Li Daozhen took the Modao given to him by Chen Ying, and under the banner of Chen Ying, successfully accepted the coal mine developed by Chen Ying in Lingzhou. However, with the sharp drop in the cold winter, new problems arose again.

Originally, Chen Ying only used four or five thousand Turkic prisoners of war to mine coal mines. Because of heavy physical labor, illness and injury, or poor working conditions, these prisoners of war reduced by nearly one-third. It was originally nothing to dig 200,000 kilograms, and it was easy to complete this task. However, as the consumption increased, Li Daozhen received four salt mines prepared by Chen Ying at that time and used carbide to cook salt. The coal consumption in Lingzhou was nearly three million kilograms per day. In this case, each prisoner of war needed to dig out five or six thousand kilograms of carbide to meet the consumption.

In particular, it was learned that Chen Ying had three blast furnaces, each of which could smelten tens of thousands of kilograms of fine steel. In this case, the amount of coal mining is far from enough to consume.

As the weather in Lingzhou was really simmering outdoors. Seeing that the city's reserve coal was used for less than ten days, Li Daozhen was frowning and was worried about food and food.

Xiaotao saw it and was anxious. She thought Li Daozhen was sick, so she hurried to find Song Wusao, the old woman who had given birth to a child, to check the situation.

When Song Wusao came to Bogulu City, she found that Li Daozhen did not have an appetite because of her physical reasons, but because of insufficient carbohydrate.

Li Daozhen sighed: "The weather is so cold. If the charcoal is cut off, I am afraid Lingzhou will not be able to hold on!"

"It's not that I'm afraid, but I'll definitely not be able to hold on!" said Mrs. Song, "I heard that in the winter of last year, thousands of people were frozen to death in Lingzhou because of the cold weather."

The town general Ma Laoliu said disapprovingly: "There is not enough carbon, so just dig it. It's not a big problem. Even if the road is blocked by ice and snow, it's not that there is still the snow boat that General Chen carries when he comes. As long as there is snow, he will run like flying on the snow."

Li Daozhen smiled bitterly and said, "I know how to dig, but there are no one. There are less than 4,000 prisoners of war in total. Now each of them has to dig six or seven thousand kilograms of carbohydrate every day. It has reached the limit. If you add the amount to them, more people will be exhausted. At that time, the output will not only not increase, but will decline significantly."

"No one, there is actually a way to solve it!" Ma Laoliu scratched his head and said, "General Chen captured many Turkic prisoners of war and asked them to dig charcoal. Not to mention that these Turkic prisoners of war are tall and strong, and they are very strong. Digging charcoal is a good player."

"We can't even see the shadow of the Turkic people now, where can we go to catch Turkic prisoners of war?" Li Daozhen shook his head and said, "It's really difficult."

Song Wusao suddenly had a flash of inspiration in her head: "County Lord, why have you forgotten Yu Guni?"

"Yu Guni? That Turkic barbarian?" Li Daozhen did not have no impression of Yu Guni, but his impression was particularly clear. Because when Yu Guni first saw Li Daozhen, he learned that Li Daozhen had Chen Ying's child in his belly, and actually crawled on the snow and held a kissing boots to Li Daozhen, which made Li Daozhen blush.

Song Wusao smiled and said, "Now Yu Guni is a rich man. His Yu Sheshi Division's population is almost over 30,000, and most of them are young and strong, with only tens of thousands of elite cavalrymen. As long as the county lord finds him, he will definitely bring enough prisoners of war to the county lord!"

Li Daozhen said without thinking: "It's good, so please go to Lingzhou City and call Yu Guni!"

...

Yu Guni was also the General of Lingwu in the Tang Dynasty at this time, but no one in Lingzhou City could like him, but Yu Guni didn't care about it. He set up a tent in the Wild Boar Ridge Valley outside Lingzhou City because the Wild Boar Ridge Valley was leeing in the Wild Boar Ridge Valley and there was a natural hot spring, so it wouldn't feel cold if camped here.

Yu Guni was also very disappointed without the recognition of Tang officials and scholars. He also lost his mind to camp in Lingzhou, but Chen Ying gave him great rewards. Now the Yushe Division does not have to worry about food and clothing. Especially this winter, three or four thousand women are pregnant just at the station in Wild Boar Ridge. As long as spring comes, these three or four thousand women give birth to three or four thousand children. The population of the Yushe Division will exceed 35,000, and at worst, it will increase to 50,000 or 60,000 in a few years.

Although the Yusheshi Department still makes a living by nomadic life, its living habits have also undergone tremendous changes. At this time, they no longer used cow dung and horse manure to keep warm as before, but used charcoal cakes produced in Lingzhou. Each of these charcoal cakes weighed one and a half pounds and were placed in a tin charcoal stove. Three pieces could be cooked for a day and one night. A family of five boiled water to cook is very convenient. They did not have to smell the pungent smell, nor did they have to watch the disgusting horse manure all day long to eat.

People in Yushe like this kind of charcoal cake very much, which is very fire-resistant and very clean. The most important thing is that it is very cheap. A sheep can be exchanged for a hundred charcoal cakes, which can be burned for a full month. Especially in the cold winter covered by ice and snow, herders cannot find firewood at all. Although sheep manure, cow manure, or horse manure can be used to burn fire, it not only has a small amount of heat, but also requires a lot of manure. The most important thing is that the tin charcoal stove of horse mouth is also very convenient to transfer. Now more and more herders like this coal ball furnace.

A coal ball stove was placed in the tent, and the tent was warm all day and night. Unlike the originally cold, for the Turks, coal cakes were not expensive, and in one winter it was only equivalent to consuming the cost of five or six sheep. Five or six sheep had a warm winter, for the people in the Yusheshi Department, this was no different from giving away for free.

On this day, Yu Guni had just vented his vent on the newly-Na Lite (Persian) concubine, and drained his extra strength.

Although Yu Guni had no strength, his brain was very active. He hadn't seen Chen Ying for almost half a year. He missed the scene of following Chen Ying on the battlefield. At this moment, a gentle microwave appeared in the milk tea bowl in front of him.

When Yu Guni saw this scene, he knew that there were cavalry approaching quickly.

Yu Guni smiled slightly and clapped his palms on Li Te's plump buttocks: "Hurry up and put on armor!"

The slap was very heavy, and a big red and purple handprint appeared on the buttocks of Li Te instantly, but she did not dare to neglect and quickly put on armor for Yu Guni.

When Yu Guni put on his armor and walked out of the tent, he saw a team of cavalry appearing at the end of the snow.

Yu Guni carried the sentry looking at the watchtower: "Who is it?"

"Black Flag Army!"

Yu Guni breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little disappointed.

After a while, a team of war horses came to Yu Guni in panting. Yu Guni saw the big pie face of Song Wufu.

Mrs. Song Wushao said: "The Lord of Baicheng County is welcome!"

After saying that, Mrs. Song took a horse and returned to the same route.

Yu Guni waved his hand left and right: "Go out with Yeye!"

The cavalrymen of the personal guards howled and followed Yu Guni towards the No. 1 Town Fort of Bogulu City.

The horse's hooves stepped on the snow, and bursts of snow rose shallowly.
