Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

This little girl used to be heartless and mischievous.

I went out a few days ago.

If you think about it, you will know when this happened. Although she is a monk, she is also half a mother to this girl, so she can't help but worry about her.

however.

As soon as these words came out.

However, a hint of disappointment appeared on Xu Miaojin's pretty face. "No, no, you're wrong, Master. I... I don't know which family he belongs to. We just happened to have some disagreements at the market. It was just a chance encounter. We probably won't meet again in the future."

Think about it carefully.

The only thing she knew was the other person's name.

She had met most of the noble sons in the capital, and among the noble sons she knew, there was no one with the surname "Tong".

Although I said last time that I would treat him to a meal later, neither of us had introduced ourselves or agreed on a time, so where did the "next time" come from?

Think of this.

Xu Miaojin took a deep breath and shook her head, as if trying to shake all the previous thoughts out of her mind.

Then he smiled faintly at Master Qingning, took Master Qingning's arm and leaned on her shoulder: "At worst, you can become a nun in Jingyue Temple in the future."

Master Qingning patted her head and said, "This silly girl keeps talking nonsense."

After that, he said in a soft and comforting voice, "Everything in the world has its own destiny. If you are destined to meet again, you will definitely meet again. If you can't meet again, it only means that you are not destined to meet. Don't regret it. You will naturally find your own destiny in the future."

Xu Miaojin wasn't a stubborn person, so she probably took this to heart and chuckled, "Maybe my destiny is to follow Master and become a bhikkhuni~"

……

In Shanxi, deep in a mine that is rarely visited and little known.

There is a concave-shaped mine.

Inside the mine, black coal can be seen everywhere on the ground. Wheel tracks are reflected on the black ground, and large and small pieces of coal are piled up like small hills at the edge of the mine.

Some people were transporting cartloads of freshly dug coal from the mines connected to the mines; others were using hoes, shovels, and other tools near the coal mounds, hammering at the large chunks of coal one by one...

"Old Wang, you've been working for several hours straight, don't you want to take a break?"

"Don't stop! This job is exciting!"

"When have I ever heard of the imperial court paying people for work? I thought it was a scam at first! I didn't expect they would actually pay me!"

"Yeah! The foreman here underpaid us a few days ago, and he was immediately dragged away and executed by the police. From now on, our daily wages will be exactly as agreed. Of course we're happy to do this, even if it means we die! Hahahaha!"

"After these few months of work, this year might be a good year!"

"Hehehe, the woman in our house is having some chicken soup. Next year we're still waiting for her to give birth to a big fat boy for us, hahahaha!"

"..."

The workers in charge of crushing stones in the mine were working hard while sweating profusely, but they had smiles on their faces and there seemed to be light in their eyes.

Amid the constant knocking sounds, people were chatting.

"When the news of the previous emperor's death and the new emperor's ascension to the throne came, I heard many people say that our new emperor's ascension to the throne was not good or good. I don't know which bastard spread these nonsense. When did the court treat us so well?"

"But... I don't know what the court wants to do with all of us digging coal and crushing rocks. What can we cook with all this coal? Even if we need to burn iron to make weapons, we don't need so much all at once."

"Hehe! Whatever you want to do with the imperial court is none of our business. We work, and the imperial court pays us, so we must do our jobs well! All we know is that our new emperor is a good one!"

"That's right! Hahahaha!"

"..."

For these miners, they didn't know what happened in Yingtian Prefecture, nor did they know what the new emperor did. They only knew that thanks to the new emperor, they made money. Naturally, the mine was bustling with activity and received rave reviews.

While everyone was talking.

A group of people came over pushing empty carts.

"What is this for?" The miners who were knocking coals stopped chatting, not knowing what was going on.

Then we saw the team loading the crushed coal onto trucks and transporting them out of the mine one truck at a time.

Although many miners were curious, no one dared to ask.

They all continued to work hard.

And the other side.

The cart loaded with hammered coal left the mine and was pushed down the mountain along a temporary road built in the mountains until it stopped near a rumbling stream at the foot of the mountain.

Large pits have been dug on the flat ground next to the water flow.

"Captain Wu, we have arranged for the miners to transport the crushed coal here one after another. What do you think we should do next?" The leader respectfully asked a young and strong man wearing a Feiyu suit and an embroidered spring sword on his waist who was standing under the waterfall.

"Dump them all into the puddle!"

"coal washing!"

The young and strong man known as "Captain Wu" frowned slightly and gave the order.

There was also a hint of hesitation on Captain Wu's face.

He was originally an ordinary captain of the Imperial Guard, and had a very good relationship with Song Zhong. After the new emperor ascended the throne, Song Zhong became the commander of the Imperial Guard. However, he never expected that his first mission would be to dig coal...

It’s just that Song Zhong was particularly cautious when giving instructions.

He was told to process the coal according to the prescribed method, saying that it could be made into anthracite...

But, is it really possible to have anthracite?
