The color of coal is dark, like a stone, so in ancient times there are "stone nirvana", "stone coal", "graphite", "black gold stone", "black dan" and other names, industrious and brave Chinese people, in the Western Han Dynasty there is a record of the understanding and use of coal, but a large number of coal can be used after the Song Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Wangniudun also has coal, that is, coal, in this way, the iron ore is transported to Wangniudun, and the iron ore is refined into iron by using coal, which can save a lot of transportation costs.

Seeing Zheng Peng's happy look, An Lushan knew that his idea was accepted by the young master, and quickly added: "Young master, with a slight change to the embankment, you can install a large waterwheel, and when the waterwheel rotates, it can be refined and automatically transported water. ”

That's right, Zheng Peng's eyes lit up, patted An Lushan's shoulder and said, "Fat An, yes, you think very thoughtfully, it seems that the decision to put you here is correct." ”

Ordinary subordinates, let him do whatever he wants, don't worry about overstepping, but there will be no surprises, like An Lushan, not only do his own thing, but also consider the related issues thoughtfully, Zheng Peng is very satisfied with him.

"The young master has won the prize, these are all small ones that should be done." An Lushan said with a smile.

It's a rare opportunity to perform, An Lushan has been thinking about this matter from morning to night these days, and for this matter, he has turned around the neighborhood, and he is so tired that the whole person is almost paralyzed, fortunately, but with the recognition and appreciation of the young master, all the hard work is worth it.

Zheng Peng's eyes rolled, and he pointed to a stain on An Lushan's sleeve and asked, "Fat An, what's the matter with your clothes?" ”

An Lushan lowered his head, his old face was a little feverish, and he said a little uncomfortably: "Back to the young master, in the past few days, I have been climbing mountains and wading through rivers, and I am so busy that I am dizzy, and my clothes are just flowing casually, which makes the young master smile." ”

Originally, he was born in the Hu people, and he didn't pay attention to cleanliness and hygiene, An Lushan was alone, it can be said that one person is full of food and the whole family is not hungry, where to pay attention to so much, if the clothes are dirty, they just rub them a few times and dry them, how can they be clean.

"Listen to you, you washed this garment yourself?" Zheng Peng pretended to be surprised and said.

“... Yes" An Lushan was a little strange about Zheng Peng's question, but he still said it honestly.

It's always been like this, why does the young master ask this question?

Zheng Peng shook his head, patted An Lushan on the shoulder and said: "You are the person in charge here, and it is right to have clear accounts, but there are some necessary expenses that cannot be saved, and no one around you can serve you, Cui Er." ”

"The old slave is here." Cui Er immediately responded.

Zheng Peng instructed: "The situation of the mine is almost touched, it must be put into production as soon as possible, what is mined is money, now there is a shortage of manpower, and it is necessary to buy a batch of slaves to replenish, in addition to Zhuangli, buy a few aunts who wash and cook, and arrange a maid for An Fatzi, who will serve him specifically, no, you take him with you, don't be stingy with money, buy a good one that he likes." ”

Cui Er said respectfully: "The old slave has an order." ”

An Lushan was a little flattered and said, "Young Master, this... It's not good. ”

Can't stand the white eyes of the family, after An Lushan escaped from home, he let go of sheep, farmed, became a horse dealer, and made a cameo appearance as a thief, and did everything to make a living, and he didn't succeed for a while before he met the young master, and when he saw the young master for the first time, he was still tied up, not to mention how embarrassed he was, but the young master did not dislike himself, and repeatedly gave him opportunities, it is not an exaggeration to say that now An Lushan has a feeling that a soldier dies as a confidant, as long as Zheng Peng speaks, Daoshan is willing to go, and the sea of fire is willing to go.

Eat well and live well, the monthly money is extraordinarily rich, this day is unthinkable before, and now I am rewarding a maid, An Lushan was so moved that he was about to cry.

I wanted to refuse, but I heard Zheng Peng want to say that he bought it well, and he also bought one he liked, and when he thought that he had someone to serve, he would no longer be alone at night, and he didn't have to be always anxious that Ma Lao wanted to drink flower wine, and that "no" came out of his mouth and swallowed it back.

Zheng Peng didn't speak, Cui Er said on the side: "Master An, the young master has always said the same, saying that rewarding you is rewarding you, and refusing is to refute the young master's face, why don't you thank the young master?" ”

"Young Master Xie, Young Master Xie, Young Master Xie." An Lushan said three thanks in a row, and then stopped.

When he spoke, An Lushan's eyes flashed, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, if Zheng Peng wasn't still here, he would have wanted to drag the old housekeeper Cui Er to buy slaves.

Zheng Peng waved his hand and said: "As long as you work hard, you will definitely get more than you think, if you steal Jian and hide evil intentions, I will definitely not let go." ”

After a pause, Zheng Peng said confidently: "As far as I know, none of the people who have become my enemies have a good life. ”

The last sentence was said lightly, but every word was loud, An Lushan heard that his heart was excited, and he hurriedly said with a solemn face: "The little one is loyal to the young master, if he has two hearts, there will be five thunders in the sky, and there will be no place to bury him." ”

Everything now is given by the young master, except for the young master, no one is willing to give An Lushan a chance, and now An Lushan is afraid that Zheng Peng will abandon him, how can he have two hearts?

When Zheng Peng heard this, he smiled, patted An Lushan's shoulder again and said, "Don't be nervous, I know that you are loyal, come, talk about your ideas, and see what can be improved." ”

After giving the sweetness and beating again, Zheng Peng quickly turned the topic back to the topic.

An Lushan replied in a row, and put forward some of his own opinions, Zheng Peng heard the words and gave some opinions, and according to his understanding of the coal mines in later generations, put forward some mining and management suggestions, when An Lushan heard Zheng Peng said that the efficiency of using artificial back ore is too low, when mining, the mine should be leveled, transported by board car, and can be used for traction by the rope, etc., these are simple operations in the later generations, but An Lushan sounded shocking, and even said that Zheng Peng's method was very good, and he must follow Zheng Peng's method when mining.

I have more respect for Zheng Peng in my heart.

It takes a while to prepare, Zheng Peng has too many things on his hands, and he has to take care of the firearms department in the forbidden garden from time to time, and it was over after talking with An Lushan for half an hour, leaving Cui Er to help deal with some things, and he and Cardinal rushed back to Beijing first.

Now the most trusted is Cui Er, who can only let him work harder.

On the way back, Cardinal suddenly said, "Uncle, you seem to value that fat man very much. ”

"Capable people naturally have to be valued" Zheng Peng asked rhetorically: "You also saw it just now, why, this fat man can't do it?" ”

"Very capable, diligent and active, but it can only show that he works hard and carefully, people like him are not difficult to find, and many people around the young master can also do it, but the young master attaches great importance to him, and the cardinal is a little curious."

As Zheng Peng's personal guard, Cardinal asked herself to know Zheng Peng well, but she didn't understand how Zheng Peng first saved An Fatzi in the bazaar, and then gave him a lot of money, and finally entrusted him with a heavy responsibility, directly let him be the shopkeeper of a restaurant, and now he also handed over the mining of iron ore to him, in addition, in order to envelop him, he also gave him a maid, or that kind of beautiful maid, from which it can be seen that he values An Fatty.

That fat man is just a low-status Hu man, except for being fat, he is not famous or famous, and he really doesn't understand what Zheng Peng likes about him.

Zheng Peng couldn't find out that he knew An Lushan's talent, and subdued him in advance, so he just smiled and said: "Actually, I don't understand why, I just think this person is useful, so I will give him a chance to test whether his feelings are accurate, for the time being, it seems that he is not blind." ”

"Uncle, you said him so well, what if he can't be raised?"

The corners of Zheng Peng's mouth showed a subtle sneer, and he said indifferently: "Even if it can't be used by me, it must not be used by others." ”

It's gold, it can shine everywhere, An Lushan is the unstable factor of the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Peng is determined to control him in his own hands, if he is allowed to go, maybe it will be to let the tiger return to the mountain, and Zheng Peng will get rid of this tiger before the "tiger returns to the mountain".

Later generations have seen a story, there is a boss, a few talents in a row, but his company can only entrust a person with a heavy responsibility, but he did not fire the redundant people, but arranged for them to do idle work, high salary and lulu, friends asked him why he did not fire the excess talent to throttle, the boss said meaningfully, those are talents, into the competitor's company must be unfavorable to themselves, it is better to raise high salaries for two or three years, wear off their sharpness, momentum, wait for two or three years later, and then let out, they can not turn the wind and waves.

Zheng Peng gave An Lushan a pretty maid, in addition to winning people's hearts, it also has this meaning, there is a pretty maid to accompany you every day, and you don't have to think about it all day long.
