Jiang Feng confirmed that ten catties of coal was equivalent to one catty of food.
Li Yunlong immediately slapped the table, his face full of excitement, as if he was afraid that he would regret it. He quickly agreed.
"Little Jiang, then it's a deal. You can't go back on your word. I'll exchange ten catties of coal for one catty of food, right?"”
"That's right!" Jiang Feng nodded speechlessly.
Chen Rui looked at the boss and couldn't help but laugh. Both of them sighed that Li Yunlong still thought that they had taken advantage of him. Perhaps he did not suffer any losses, but Jiang Feng had made a huge profit.
In the past year, coal was not cheap!
At its peak, it had once broken through 3,000 per ton!
Now, it cost more than 2,000 yuan per ton, which was a little higher than the price of old grain. It was really expensive, unlike the 500 yuan per ton in the past.
Ten catties for one catty was equivalent to ten times the profit!
However, Li Yunlong also felt that he had profited…
Why?
The reason was very simple. Coal could not be eaten as food. It was useless to him!
Ten catties of coal a day could fill a person's stomach.
A hundred catties of coal a day could feed a family.
A thousand catties of coal a day could feed a hundred people.
As long as one was willing to work hard at mining coal, it would be easy for a young man to dig a few hundred catties of coal every day. It would also be easy for him to dig up a thousand catties of coal!
That was equivalent to a hundred catties of grain.
It was much more expensive than the sales price during the Anti-Japanese War.
Right now, resources were scarce, and food was the most scarce. It was not easy to buy food even if you had money. It was more precious than anything else.
Without coal, it was the same as burning firewood.
It was dispensable!
Without food, everyone would starve to death.
Indispensable!
It was indeed worth it to exchange dead things for food…
Moreover, ten catties of coal for one catty of food. It was profitable. The old, the weak, women, and children could support themselves. It was very good.
Even if it was reduced by half, there would still be people who would flock to it!
The miners working for Yan Laoxi now could only earn a few yuan even if they worked themselves to death. On average, they could earn a few catties of food a day, but there were still people who were willing to queue up to work for them.
Why? If he didn't do it, he would starve to death.
After all, war was raging and human lives were like dogs.
"Yes, that's right," Jiang Feng answered with certainty."As long as you have the remaining coal, I'll buy it all!"”
Li Yunlong also promised with a smile,
"Then just wait and see.
I'll arrange for the villagers to participate in the mining immediately!"”
"At least 100 to 200 tons per day.”
He was extremely excited. He chuckled and immediately gave the order to recruit the villagers to dig for coal. The independent regiment would send someone to guide them.
There were many miners in the Jinzhong area. Many of the independent regiment's soldiers were miners and had rich experience.
The order was passed down at an astonishing speed. The
establishment of the Yangcun coal mine
recruited villagers to
work according to their performance. The coal miners miners would be paid
30 catties of coal for one catty of grain, and the auxiliary workers would be paid 60 catties of coal for one catty of grain.
Young and strong laborers joining the mining team!
The old, weak, women, and children would join the auxiliary squad!
If they did not meet the standards, they would be demoted. If they performed well, they would be promoted. Women could also enter the coal mining team.
In total, ten mining teams and ten logistics support teams would be set up. They would work together one-on-one to calculate the performance.
This way, it would be easier to motivate the workers!
As expected, when they
heard that they would be given a catty of grain for every 30 catties of coal dug, the villagers of Yang Village went crazy and lined up to sign up.
I
want to join the mining team. I have the strength. If the dozen of us want to join the same team, we can all be trusted.”
"We also want to form a mining team!”
"Our wives also want to join the logistics team!”
"Regiment Commander Li is really reliable. I think it'll work. If we follow Regiment Commander Li, we definitely won't suffer any losses. This treatment is good!"
”
"30 catties of coal for 1 catty of grain. Heh, this treatment is much more generous than Yan Laoxi's.”
"That's right! Will Commander Li lose money?"
"I really don't know about this
... Food is precious!"
The villagers were excited and even had some doubts. They were afraid that the independent regiment would lose money. They did not want to see it happen. After all, it was their own team.
In reality? A loss? How was this possible?
Li Yunlong teared up and earned half of the price difference.
They encouraged production and provided full support. They provided money and labor for tools, mines, and transportation to promote mining.
The thickness of the coal bed was 90cm, and the
burial depth was 5m.
The difficulty of mining was small, and the quality of the coal bed was high. With the support of the mines, the coal production also increased.
They worked together day and night!
[Daily production: 300 tons
of carriages, donkey carts, wheels, winches, shovels, hammers, mines, and other production tools.]
Moreover, Jiang Feng had also supported them-the
electric impact drill,
the conveyor belt,
the track cutter,
the coal cutter,
and the mechanical equipment. With the power supply from the diesel generator, their productivity was so high!
300 tons of coal a day was worth 30 tons of grain, which was equivalent to 60,000 catties of grain. It was enough to feed tens of thousands of people!
The villagers earned 30,000 catties of food every day.
The independent regiment earned 30,000 catties of food every day.
An average of 30 catties of grain per person per day. This income had far exceeded the income from farming. The treatment was generous!
Moreover, the elderly, the disabled, and the children, who were the weakest, also had jobs. The honeycomb briquettes factory had started operating.
The honeycomb briquettes factory specialized in the production of honeycomb briquettes. The
cylindrical shape
weighed one catty per piece
, and the
production method was also simple. The crushed coal sand and coal powder were crushed into powder by a stone mill, then added with 1(3 of the yellow soil, and then mixed with water.
It could be used to stir a large amount of water in a jar!
Then, he used a large spoon with a standard capacity to scoop it out.
It was poured into a pressurizing mold to form, compress, demold, and dry into honeycomb briquettes. The combustion efficiency was very high.
Honeycomb briquettes could increase the value of coal by several times!
It was even more profitable than selling it directly to Jiang Feng!
After all, one-third of the soil was added, and the labor cost was very low. Children liked to play with mud, so he let them help with the mud.
A hundred catties of honeycomb briquettes cost five candies!
Unfortunately
, the market channels were limited and the technology was simple. It was impossible to sell them far away. The sales were ordinary.
Most of them could only be sold to Jiang Feng for disposal-
they would be transported to the granary of Yanshan Town using a conveyor belt and stored in an empty warehouse with a capacity of more than ten thousand tons!
Jiang Feng had hired someone to install a television on top of the warehouse, pretending to be for publicity purposes, but in fact, it was being sold!
The coal was being sent over continuously.
It would help solve the domestic energy shortage.
But who would he sell it to?
A large number of sales might be noticed.
Jiang Feng was about to call Zhao Dezhu and ask him if his chemical plant needed coal. It was really hard to say!
"Hey, Old Zhao, does the chemical plant need coal?”
"Yeah, Mr. Barker, you heard about it too?”
Zhao Dezhu, who was on the other end of the phone, sighed. He seemed very worried and helpless as he asked in a low tone.
Jiang Feng was speechless. (Dumbfounded)
"The wind? What news? What's going on?"
Zhao Dezhu was also stunned. I heard that the higher-ups issued an order to limit the supply of coal to all factories that are highly polluting and energy-consuming.”
Jiang Feng's mouth twitched and he rolled his eyes
.
"I wanted to ask you if you need coal. I have a large amount of private coal here.”
Zhao Dezhu was speechless. [I
need it!] Of course I need it very much ~
" From now on, you're my biological brother!"
