From the gate of heaven

Chapter 61 [Cengfan is here, inspecting the coal mine]

Earning more than 1000 million in one breath, Lin Ze is in a good mood.

So, I decided to give myself a small reward.

I placed an order in the same city for door-to-door delivery, and spent a small 100 million to upgrade my usual drones, portable thermal imagers and other electronic instruments to the top version that is not much different from the military version except for the label.

Before, because the budget was not very abundant, these things that Lin Ze bought were only mid-to-high-end versions. Now it is a shotgun change.

In Lin Ze’s external identity in the main world, he already has the attributes of a military enthusiast. It’s not a strange thing to buy these things. Anyway, as long as he doesn’t use these things to make troubles, he can legally hold them.

After doing this, Lin Ze opened the Heavenly Gate.

First, I went to the two-world trading base to arrange the many electronic devices I just bought, and then opened the portal to another world.

In the quiet small courtyard, Lin Ze opened the door and adjusted a wave of surveillance as usual to ensure that no unsightly servants broke into the courtyard in the past few hours.

Then, he opened the door and walked out.

Because he has been selling fish all morning, Lin Ze smells like fish at this moment, but this is not a strange thing in the eyes of the servants.

This is where Lin Ze used refined chicken essence as an excuse to buy yellow croakers.

Since the seasoning is refined from large yellow croakers, it is normal for the body to smell of fish.

Lin Ze first took a bath and changed his clothes, washing off the smell of fish.

It is already twelve o'clock.

Afterwards, Lin Zegang was about to have lunch and went to inspect the coal mine in the afternoon.

Then I saw a few people come to visit hand in hand.

If it wasn't Li He, Gao Fei, and Liu Pei, who else would it be?

"I came here uninvited, and I hope Ziyi won't be blamed."

Li He, who was dressed in the official uniform of the county magistrate, smiled and bowed his hands to salute.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but Ziyi's style is still the same."

On the side, Gao Fei and Liu Pei also greeted Lin Ze with a smile.

"I have seen Lord Liu, Lord Gao, and Uncle. The three of you are also full of energy."

Lin Ze greeted with a smile and bowed his hands.

Originally, according to the rules, he should greet Li He, who was the highest in the room, first, but at this moment he deliberately put the greeting at the end, and instead of addressing him as Mr. Li, he called him Uncle.

This is to express an attitude. I have no objection to marrying your young lady. After a while, we will be a real family.

Obviously, Li He understood the meaning of Lin Ze's words, and the smile on his face became brighter.

"Zi Yi has been busy with the yellow croaker for so long since he came back, and now I think he has gained something."

At this time, Li He spoke with a smile.

The government servants at the gate of the city are the eyeliners of several county magistrates, so they naturally know about Lin Ze's general movements.

Li He's words hinted inside and out that he wanted to eat meals made with chicken essence.

Lin Ze gave them one or two chicken essences before, but this amount was used up after a few meals.

After eating such delicious condiments, when I go back to eat the original food, I feel that the grade has dropped a lot. No wonder the few people are so active.

On the side, although Gao Fei and Liu Pei did not speak, they clearly expressed the same request for a meal as Li He on their smiling faces.

"You're here to grab some food, aren't you?"

Lin Ze pointed at a few people, some were dumbfounded.

With a joke, Lin Ze said to the servants on the side: "Go let the chef use the delicious food left over from last time to cook, and treat the adults well at noon today."

The servant took the order and left.

It didn't take long before food was served.

Compared with the banquets where Lin Ze entertained a few officials with delicacies from mountains and seas, these dishes are much simpler now, just home-cooked dishes.

But because of the addition of chicken essence, several officials were very happy to eat.

Lin Ze, on the other hand, had a calm expression. He seldom picked up the dishes with chicken essence. He was very interested in the mandarin fish that was simply steamed with scallions and turmeric wine to restore the original taste of the food as much as possible, so he dropped his chopsticks frequently.

Lin Ze usually doesn't eat chicken essence, because he was tired of eating it in his previous life since he was a child, and today he specially added chicken essence as a seasoning for entertaining guests.

The three officials on the side are all human beings, and they see Lin Ze's actions in their eyes.

This kind of living habit, at first glance, is not something that ordinary people can cultivate.

In his heart, he was sure that Lin Ze had an extraordinary background, and he wanted to come from an extremely powerful hermit sect.
-
After the meal, Lin Ze, along with three officials, took a carriage and headed for the coal mine in Heishi Village, Fenglin Township, under the guard of the soldiers.

There was nothing to say along the way, and soon arrived in Fenglin Township.

After getting off the official road, it used to be an extremely rough path leading to Heishi Village, but at this moment, this path has been leveled deliberately, and it is also paved with gravel transported from the river, making the entire road surface smooth and firm.

The carriage didn't stop, and drove directly to the outside of Heishi Village along the smooth and solid road.

"Compared to the last time I came to collect taxes, it saved a lot of time."

Gao Fei jumped off the carriage, and said to Lin Ze and the others with emotion.

Lin Ze nodded: "The road is repaired flat, so it is convenient to transport the dug coal out."

While speaking, he turned his gaze to the wasteland where the coal mine was located.

Compared with a few days ago, this place has changed greatly at this moment.

At the end of the road, you can see many wooden houses standing neatly, which are the fruits of several days of labor spent by many craftsmen and laborers from Heishi Village.

To the left is a living area.

The first is the dormitory area, which is divided into two types.

One is for those single miners who come to work in the coal mine from afar, a Datong shop for five people, with a construction area of ​​[-] square meters.

The second is to provide for those miners who bring their families to work. The building area is also [-] square meters, and the internal furnishings need to be arranged by themselves.

These log cabins are all set up with simple fire kang, and when the weather is cold, coals can be burned outside to keep the temperature inside the log cabin.

Then there is the canteen area, which is located at the end of the dormitory area. In the future, the entire mine will cook, and many workers will go to this place to eat.

More than 100 meters away, in the area close to the forest of Heishi Village, public toilets have been built. Workers can go here to solve their physiological problems.

In the area near the river, bathrooms were built, and stoves for boiling water in batches were set up, where many miners could bathe and wash clothes.

The wooden house on the right is the commercial area.

For the sake of safety, the commercial area is set 200 meters away from the mining area and living area. There are warehouses to store the excavated coal, and there are many scales and desks. The sale of coal is carried out in this area.

Lin Ze pointed to these buildings and introduced their functions to the three officials around him one by one.
