Chapter 1328: Each Industry Has Its Own Rules

"There is a coal mine here, anthracite." Li Yi returned to the car and gave his apprentice, the little guy and Li Tan a string of candied haws each.

He unfolded the map, drew a horizontal line with his finger, and stopped. Coal mine.

As he said this, he drew his finger downward again: "The mine just now is north of the Yellow River. Now it is across the Yellow River, south of the Yellow River, and it is also anthracite."

"How deep is it from the surface?" Li Longji was worried that it would be difficult to dig.

"The mountain is on the ground, but it doesn't burn very well. The advantage is that the ash after burning is very suitable for making cement."

Li Yi has been to two mines, no, passing by, and doing greening. It pollutes the environment too much, and it is a tourist area and a medicinal material planting area.

Datang does not need to carry out greening locally at this time, it is green.

If it weren't for the people of the Feng family who collected and prepared medicinal materials here and took turns living here, there would be no people at all in the local area.

Even the woodcutter would not run so far to cut wood, there are a lot of mountains nearby.

Li Yi thought of the woodcutter, and Li Longji thought of the same.

"People who collect firewood can go to dig coal, so they don't lose their livelihood." Li Longji now considers the problem more comprehensively.

"You can earn more. These two mining areas belong to the Great Tang Dynasty World Fund, and the villagers are counted per head.

Those under 15 years old are not counted. Those who are 15 years old and under 60 years old pay three cents per month.

The money earned goes into the fund, and by the way, a few cement plants are built to provide jobs for local people."

Li Yi directly arranged and gave it to Li Chengqi to manage the fund.

It is hard for woodcutters to make money. They need to form a team, go to the mountains to cut wood, carry the wood down and sell it to the county town.

The village does not need woodcutters to sell firewood. They can go to the mountains to pick up firewood by themselves.

Every family has their own firewood pile. In autumn, the family takes time to go up the mountain twice, and a large firewood pile appears.

It is enough to burn for a whole winter, and they will pick it up in summer.

"How does the woodcutter collect firewood?" Li Tan asked timidly. As a child, he should not interrupt when the "adult" is talking.

"Forests with woodcutters usually grow better. Woodcutters use axes and hatchets. When they use axes..."

After Li Yi finished talking about the business, he began to "popularize science" for Li Tan.

The woodcutters are responsible for pruning the forests, not just chopping down every tree they see.

In winter, they go into the mountains to cut dead branches, tie them up with ropes, put them on poles, and carry them back.

In spring, they go into the mountains and use hatchets and axes to prune branches. They see which big branches of the trees need to be removed and then deal with them.

In summer, they need to form a team. In spring, they observe the good ones. If some trees are not good, they will be cut down and carried back.

In autumn, they will check the trees again. If there are pine trees, they will use rakes to collect pine branches, bring sacks into the mountains, and install pine tree towers.

The woodcutters are familiar with every tree on the mountain they are "responsible for".

For example, if there are crooked trees that occupy a large area and affect other trees, the woodcutters will peel the bark first, peel off a two-inch wide circle of bark, and the tree will die, and then they will be chopped.

If a family wants to make coffins or build beams for houses, the first person they will look for is the woodcutter.

The woodcutter takes them to the mountain and chooses a usable tree for them, and they pay the woodcutter.

The woodcutter will never cut down a tree that can be used as firewood and sell it.

Li Yi explained it in detail, and no one except the people of Feng family knew about it.

It turns out that the woodcutter doesn't go into the mountain to cut firewood and sell it with the firewood he gets?

"Master, you know a lot. We also see medicinal herbs. Some medicinal herbs are not old enough, so we will write them down. Some places have seedlings, and we will help fertilize and water them."

The little girl followed the woodcutter's story and talked about herself, and the herbalists did the same.

"Yes, and there are hunters. They will take good care of the places they are responsible for." Li Yi said and opened his mouth.

The little girl quickly handed over the candied haws and asked the master to bite off one.

Li Yi was satisfied. This apprentice was so smart and sensible.

"Master, now that there is a coal mine, does the woodcutter only need to make some soft firewood?" The little girl knew the situation.

Firewood is divided into soft firewood and hard firewood. Hard firewood is wood chopped wood, and soft firewood is small branches and pine needles.

"You also need to get some hard firewood, otherwise you can't ignite the coal, but the demand is small. People in the mountain villages, except in winter, still
