Chapter 299 Smuggling coal mines

What?!

The efficiency and output are not up to par, which means that there is less ore they handed over to the court?

Oronate reacted for a moment, and after thinking about what this said, he immediately scared the white-haired sweat on his back: "Impossible... This is absolutely impossible!"

He knows more or less where these coal ores will be used when they are mined.

In recent years, the Science and Technology Department has made many machines, basically steam-powered. The speed of merchant cargo ships has increased rapidly, and it is also driven by coal as fuel to operate the steam engine.

He knew very well that this thing was very important, just like iron ore, and it was clear how much it produced and how much it was handed over.

What is the difference between intercepting coal mine output and rebellion?

Given him ten courage, he wouldn't dare to do this!

Orondai felt a chill on his neck and his head was instantly awake: "Your Majesty, the empress is a clear understanding, and the slaves are not selfless to hide, and they are selling coal mines privately!"

Yongzheng did not agree to the situation, but only signaled to the people from the Science and Technology Bureau to continue.

Both of the officials from the Science and Technology Department followed their chief Nian Xiyao, who were also some "nerd and technical occupants"-like figures.

Unexpectedly, I made such a big noise from one sentence, which scared a dignified prince crying and shouting. He was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment. He knelt on the side awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything.

Chi Xia raised her hand and signaled them to get up: "What's the situation? You can tell the truth."

The two officials looked at each other and then told them all about the situation they had just seen.

They just looked at the operation of the machine carefully, and then asked how many machines there were in the mine, how many starts were there every day, and how many rounds of inspections were there.

The coal mine output estimated based on the operation of the machine is somewhat different from the actual output reported to the Science and Technology Department.

"Last year, the output of coal mines did not meet the amount we originally budgeted, but it was basically quite different. We always thought that the operation efficiency of these machines was not as good as expected, or there was a slight loss in mining, so we didn't think much about it."

"But when I actually went to the mine today, the machine was operating very well. We also asked the workers that the output of a machine is almost like this every day. If we calculate according to the mine manager's mining time, the output of the coal mine should be beyond our budget at that time."

Once in and out, the output gap is probably quite large.

Chi Xia nodded: "Does there be any difference in the past year?"

The younger subordinates were calculating since just now and immediately replied: "I have roughly estimated that there is a gap of more than 800 stones every month."

One stone is about thirty kilograms, more than 800 stones, that is 2,500 kilograms.

It’s not too much to say that it’s too much. Compared with the output of mines, it can only be considered a drop in the bucket, so the Science and Technology Department has never felt that something is wrong. But speaking of that, it’s not a small amount to accumulate in a year.

Yongzheng looked at Orolongtai: "What do you think about Duke Fu?"

Oronate was sweating profusely, but he really couldn't figure out the reason, so he could only say, "Slave, I don't know the reason..."

Chi Xia asked Su Peisheng to take two officials from the Science and Technology Department to the next room to calculate the output carefully.

The machine will not lie, Chi Xia naturally believed the judgment of the two departments of the Science and Technology Department. But she did not think Orostrodai would deliberately intercept and sell coal mines privately.

Everyone knows that this is a serious crime of beheading. Moreover, the court gave them a lot of shares, such as the "land reclamators", and he would not be able to get millet out of trouble and get this "smuggled" money.

There are only Yongzheng Chixia, Oroqa and Longkodo in the house now, and Chixia signaled Oroqa to get up first.

Orondai's legs were almost scared and he didn't dare to get up: "I dare not, I should die..."

"Get up," Yongzheng glanced at him: "I can trust you, otherwise I wouldn't have given you such a big mine to manage. But the gap in output is really not small and it needs to be carefully checked. Otherwise, the gerbils will be small. If these ores go to places that should not be visited, the consequences will be even more unimaginable."

After a roundabout way, Orondai came back from fear, kowtowed and thanked him quickly, and got up in a hurry: "Thank you, the emperor! Your wise! I will investigate now. I will definitely check this matter clearly."

Seeing that he was gritting his teeth, Chi Xia specially ordered Longkodo: "Master Long, please check it together, don't make a big fuss, so as not to alert the enemy. We should not only know how they got the ore out, but also find out where these ores are going."

Oroqdai nodded repeatedly and said, in the cold winter weather, his back was wet layer after layer. Only then did he dare to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He thought about it thousands of times. It would be impossible to eliminate the hatred in his heart if he didn't cut the person who stole the ore into pieces.

Although it is not too far from Jingcheng to Shengjing, it is not easy to get out. Chi Xia intends to stay here for a few more days. First, we will improve the performance of various machines in the mine, and second, we will also want to see if theft of ore can be concluded.

So he abandoned the palace prepared for them in Shengjing City and simply lived in the "living area" in the mine.

Oroqendai is now thinking about "thieves". He is still a "suspect", so how dare he dissuade them?

He asked the general manager to follow Longkodo's instructions and arranged for his confidant to do a serious business without hesitation.

There are nearly 3,000 people living in the living area of ​​the mine, most of whom are the families of mine workers.

Several small courtyards where Yongzheng and others lived were left for the general manager and the major managers, and two cooking people were arranged inside.

One of them was Li Ya, who they had met at the entrance of the restaurant that day.

Li Ya was shocked when she saw Chi Xia and blurted out: "Why are you?"

Chi Xia waved to her: "Didn't Doctor Liu ask Ji Duo to recuperate? Why don't you listen to the doctor's words carefully?"

"Teacher Liu, the Imperial Doctor?" Li Ya finally realized for a while and stammered: "Then, then you, are you the Queen?"

Chi Xia joked: "What? I don't look like it?"

"No, no, I just didn't expect to see the Queen..." Li Ya was stunned for a moment: "Also, I don't know that the Queen is so young."

Chi Xia laughed and looked at Yongzheng jokingly: "This sounds so joyful. We met Miss Li twice in just two days, and we are destined to be destined to be destined to see. Just look at this fate. Should you reward her?

Yongzheng was still looking at the memorial, and when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Chi Xia: "Since the queen has asked for grace for you, I will reward you with a land house and allow you to move your household registration and establish a female household in Shengjing."

"You already have the silver lining and a skill. You can remarry in the future, or support your own family to raise your children. The queen thinks it would be good to give such a reward?"

Oroqdai: It's just one episode...
