Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Flipping through the memorial, Zhu Yunhuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he raised his eyebrows with interest and asked, "Regarding the mining, coal washing, and transportation of the major coal mines?"

See this message.

Zhu Yunhuan couldn't help but show a hint of joy on his brows.

At this point in time, other things can be put aside, and surviving the winter is the most important thing.

After all, the most important of the three elements of productivity is people, that is, workers. Other things such as cannons, industrial revolution, and great voyages... all require a large amount of manpower investment and need to be based on this foundation to proceed in a long-term and sustainable manner.

"According to Qin Kui..."

"The first batch of cloth produced by the Ministry of Industry has already arrived in the north. It will be available in about half a month. I estimate that most of it has already been shipped out from the north and will start to be sold. The next one will be anthracite..." Zhu Yunhuan nodded, secretly calculating and estimating in his mind.

But when he continued to read the memorial.

His brows knitted slightly, and he murmured thoughtfully, "Hiss... two or three months in advance really isn't enough?"

Nothing else.

Song Zhong's memorial was not good news.

Although the coal mine in Shanxi was used as a pilot project at the beginning, other coal mining sites across the country were subsequently arranged in a decentralized manner. At the same time, no one knew that this large-scale coal transportation operation was transporting anthracite, so the mining, coal washing and transportation during this period were not greatly disturbed.

But there are real problems facing anthracite.

First, the efficiency of mining and coal washing.

Second, transportation efficiency.

In this era, initial operations had to rely entirely on manual labor. Unlike spinning and weaving, the speed could be greatly increased through water-powered multi-spindle spinning and flying shuttle looms. Of course, the efficiency was more than a little slow, not to mention transportation.

This has led to insufficient production and transportation of anthracite.

"Your Majesty, do you want me to summon Commander Song to come and see you?" Ma Sanbao, who was standing aside, naturally noticed that Zhu Yunhuan was in a bad mood and asked immediately.

Zhu Yunhuan waved his hand: "No need, this is an objective problem. It's useless to blame anyone for this." After that, he frowned and fell into deep thought.

When doing anything, there is a possibility of making mistakes in anticipation or discovering unexpected problems, but this does not matter.

The important thing is.

Want to get something done.

When dealing with problems, we should deal with the issues rather than the people.

If the people below didn't do their job well, then they deserve to be picked on. But for this objective problem, instead of looking for a solution, they just use the power of life and death in their hands to vent their anger...

In the end it's just a waste of your energy and time.

The correct and rational procedure is always: encounter a problem, analyze the problem, break down the problem, and solve the problem.

ponder for a moment.

Zhu Yunhuan mentioned it casually and started writing and drawing on a blank piece of rice paper.

1. Anthracite is in short supply. How can we ensure that the limited amount of anthracite reaches those who truly need it?

2. Anthracite mining and coal washing efficiency issues.

3. Transportation issues.

Among these, the second and third points are fundamental issues.

However, the first point is the most important and the one that needs to be addressed most urgently.

After all, anthracite is not like the batch of cloth produced by the Ministry of Industry. People with a little bit of money will not look down on it, and it cannot be sold at a high price, so there is no profit.

In fact, anthracite.

No matter whether one is well off or poor, they can all use it. Once it is sold or distributed for free in the form of disaster relief, it will attract people who can afford ordinary-priced heating materials to get involved... and accurate distribution will be impossible.
