The ups and downs of the cabinet have not yet left the Forbidden City for the time being, and naturally they will not be able to blow on Zhao Hao's head.

At this time, he was not even in the capital, but led a huge sightseeing group for a day trip to the West Mountain.

This is something that was said last month.

At that time, Zhao Hao asked the eldest princess to help and prepare to hold the first general meeting of shareholders of Xishan Coal Industry on the eighth day of this month.

In order to ensure that you cut a large handful of leeks...... Oh no, to ensure the smooth convening of the meeting, he specially invited each shareholder to send a steward to visit the Xishan mining area with him.

At present, there are 22 shareholders of Xishan Coal Industry. But not counting Zhao Hao and his wife, there are also people who act in concert like Ji Sizheng and Sun Fatzi. There are only thirteen foreign shareholders.

But there were more than thirteen carriages that followed Zhao Hao to Xishan.

The stewards, merchants, and eunuchs who got out of the car exceeded a hundred.

This is still after Sun Fatzi's layers of screening, picking out the intended candidates with financial resources, energy, and connections. If the visitors do not refuse, the number of people will have to quadruple.

Who doesn't want to see with their own eyes Zhao Gongzi, the scientific master of the five jinshi, the inventor of coal root technology, the first person to fly to the sky in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor who just gave a lecture to the emperor's ministers yesterday?

What's more, Xishan Coal Industry itself is already very topical.

In the past two months, there have been legends in the streets and alleys of the capital that there is a family that has lost its mind and gone crazy, and has wantonly purchased waste coal kilns in the areas of Hunhe, Dayu, Mentougou and Juyongguan, and has not collected those that are not wasted.

The common people said that the silver of Xishan Coal Industry was blown by the wind, and the nobles were playing badly.

But no matter how rich a noble person is, he can't take out more than 100,000 or 200,000 taels of silver and specialize in playing in the water, right?

Therefore, the businessmen who had a little brains, as well as the shopkeepers who ran the business for the noble eunuchs' houses, pondered it early in the morning.

What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Xishan Coal Industry?

After a little investigation, they found that the Xishan coal industry was actually very large. It is the eldest princess and the science Zhao Gongzi who are partnered to make a living.

Now everyone dared not underestimate it.

Only one eldest princess who has been in charge of the imperial property for nearly ten years is enough to make them pay attention to Xishan Coal Industry. What's more, the previous cooperation between these two has been a great success!

Everyone knows how much coal lotus can be sold every day in the Lugouqiao Coal Yard.

A few months ago, who would have imagined that a small gray coal root could bring tens of thousands of taels of net profit per month?

Who is not red in the capital? With a little strength, who doesn't want a piece of the pie?

That is, there is an eldest princess in the field, so no one dares to reach inside......

Now it is found that the two gods of wealth have actually established a Xishan coal industry, and all the silver earned from the coal root is smashed into the Xishan. And outsiders are also allowed to participate in shares, who can sit still if there is money and power in the capital?

Don't you all have to come over and see the excitement? In case someone really has a way to make money, they can also follow and participate in a share.

~~

The convoy stopped at .asxs., three stores on West Hill Parkway.

Sun Fatzi and Tang Fatzi led the way, and everyone crossed the big stone bridge together with Zhao Gongzi.

Because the Inner Court Glaze Bureau is located in the west of the bridge, the road conditions that have been walked before are not bad.

But further on, the stone paved mountain road has been seriously worn and uneven due to the fact that the hooves of animals have been trampled all day long. There are potholes everywhere, and it is not open to traffic at all.

In addition, it had just rained, and the road was seriously waterlogged and muddy, and everyone walked very hard.

"It's really unlucky, it doesn't rain for a month, and I run into it when I go out." The shopkeepers couldn't help complaining: "But the road in Xishan is too bad, right?" I've just entered the mountain, and it's going to be even worse if I go inside......"

"That's why we have to build roads!" Sun Fatzi announced to everyone in a loud voice: "Gongzi has already had a foresight, and has already recruited 20,000 people to start renovating the entire mountain road in Mentougou!" ”

As if to confirm his words, the crowd heard the clanging of chiseled stones.

After they turned a mountain bag, they saw thousands of people holding chisels and sledgehammers digging the road, forcibly expanding the mountain road that was less than one zhang wide into two zhang wide.

"The first phase of the 'Jingxi Mountain Road' project is to rebuild the Xishan Ancient Road. After the completion of the project, the Yuhe Ancient Road and the Pangtan Ancient Road will be rebuilt in turn, and these three trunk roads will all be built according to the standard of two zhang wide and can allow four iron tile carts to run in parallel. ”

"Wow, that's a big deal!" The shopkeepers secretly calculated that just by repairing these three main roads, I am afraid that they will not be able to get down without fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver.

"Once it's done, the effect is immediate." There are also many people who secretly look forward to the fact that the entire western Beijing artery will be blocked by these rotten roads, and once it is completed, the cost of transporting coal will be reduced by half. And the capacity will also be greatly increased.

"Ben Gongzi didn't just build this road to transport coal." At this time, Zhao Gongzi finally spoke: "After this road is completed, business travelers from Zhangjiakou to and from the capital will also benefit greatly. ”

"Childe is really righteous...... the shopkeepers patted their ass, and scolded him in their hearts. Is that something you should worry about?

While speaking, everyone walked to the position two miles away from the Liuli Bureau, and saw a circle of reed sheds on the hillside next to the road.

"We're here." How could Tang Fatzi let Sun Fatzi be beautiful, so he rushed to Zhao Hao and flattered: "Son, this is the No. 1 kiln of our Xishan Coal Industry trial mining." ”

"So close?" The shopkeepers couldn't help but be surprised, and then laughed dumbly: "That's right, it's very reasonable." ”

Since there is a coal mining industry in Xishan, it must start from the best place to dig recently.

After the best locations are dug up, the coal kiln owners will continue to go deep into the mountains, so that from generation to generation and hundreds of years, the coal kilns have been opened to Miaofeng Mountain.

If you mine coal here, you can save a lot of money on freight alone.

Therefore, these coal kilns must be mined and can no longer be mined, and they will be abandoned if they can no longer be scrapped.

What's the use of looking at this thing, nostalgic?

Everyone secretly slandered, but it was just because of Zhao Gongzi's reputation, no one dared to say strange things.

Zhao Hao didn't explain, and greeted everyone with great interest: "It's all here, let's go and have a look." ”

Wu Yu, who was guarding the coal kiln, saw that Gongzi had arrived, so he hurriedly stood up and saluted, and then opened the gate.

'It's also a mysterious ......' The shopkeepers were aroused with the slightest curiosity.

When they followed Zhao Hao into the reed shed, they saw a huge coal pit under the shed, with a coal lifting wheel next to the well, and four strange-looking instruments.

They had cast-iron faucets and long bamboo pipes that went deep into the mines.

"This No. 1 well was mined more than 400 years ago. The location is good, but because the water seepage is very serious, it was abandoned after a few years. Zhao Hao stood by the well and introduced to everyone with a smile: "But after scientific treatment, it has turned waste into treasure and can be mined again." ”

"Really?" The shopkeepers were immediately whetted with an appetite, what would it mean if the abandoned coal kiln could be re-mined? I can't even dream of it......

"If you can really turn waste into treasure, I'm afraid Gongzi will become the richest man in the capital!"

"Just, how is that possible?" Even if Zhao Hao can really go to heaven, everyone will be in disbelief.

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Just follow me down and take a look." ”
