Lu Bu decided to change the taste of the war rice and planned to ask the chefs to develop dry food with meat and vegetarian dishes. It can be seen that he attached great importance to the diet of the soldiers.

Since joining Lu Bu, Sun Ce also found that the soldiers under Lu Bu had a small amount of meals every day.

At least compared to the soldiers he once led, the soldiers under Lu Bu only ate just one or two bowls of rice every day.

Although I don’t eat much every day, the soldiers spend a lot of money on food.

They had meat and vegetarian dishes every day, and ordinary soldiers ate better than other officers under the command of heroes.

"Come with me to the coal mine to take a look." It was still early, and Lu Bu stood up and greeted Sun Ce.

I have long heard that there is a coal mine in Xuzhou, where merchants from all over the country gather here, so I waited for the coal to come out of the mine to transport it away immediately.

At first, when coal was mined, merchants did not think that it would have too much profit to make.

Zhang Shiping and others sold coal to various parts of Xuzhou. First, it was used by some blacksmith shops, and later it was spread to the families of officials and gentry, and later it became an important fuel used by the people to replace firewood.

Even when the army went on a war, the fuel it carried was coal, not firewood.

Firewood is never very cheap at the market, and it is even more expensive to burn it into charcoal.

In addition to the burning of blue smoke, the coal produced in Xuzhou is far stronger than the expensive charcoal regardless of the burning time and the heat generated by combustion.

The emergence of coal gradually replaced firewood, which once served as the main fuel in many places.

Accompanied by Sun Ce, Lu Bu and more than a dozen guards left Pengcheng and came to the coal mine located in the suburbs.

Several coal mine leaders heard that Lu Bu was coming, so they quickly welcomed the mine exit.

Seeing Lu Bu and others from afar, they bowed and bowed.

When he came to them, Lu Bu glanced at the few people: "All you are the managers here?"

"Report to the Lord Chu, we are all responsible for this place." One of them replied.

"How are the coal mines recently?" Lu Bu asked: "Are there as many people who come here to buy coal as in the past?"

"It's not just like in the past." The manager replied: "Now the coal mined every day is transported by merchants without even being selected. Even if the gangue and slime are roughly selected, someone will buy it."

"Anyone bought coal gangue and coal slime?" Lu Bu asked, "What's the use of those things they asked for?"

"It is said that it can be mixed in coal." The manager replied: "We don't ask much about business for business."

"It's really a businessman who is traitorous." Lu Bu said with a smile: "You are right. We don't care what merchants do. What we have to do is just that the coal that comes out from here is excellent. As for how they add other things, we don't have to pay attention to it, and there is no need to pay attention to it."

Several managers responded uncontrollably and followed Lu Bu to the mine.

When Lu Bu arrived, the mine gate had been open.

I have only heard of a coal mine in Xuzhou, but Sun Ce has never been here before. After following Lu Bu into the mine, he felt that everything was very novel.

Especially in the mine, there is a small hill piled up by slag. The dark mountain makes it look different from any mountain Sun Ce has ever seen.

Following Lu Bu, Sun Ce looked around, as if he wanted to come to the mine this time to see everything in the coal mine.

"What kind of lighting is used under the coal mine now?" As he walked, Lu Bu asked the manager: "And there is ventilation, how is it solved?"

"We use a large wind bag for ventilation." The manager replied: "There are special people who press the wind bag on it and send the wind to the bottom of the mine."

Of course, Lu Bu could understand what the manager answered, while Sun Ce was confused and didn't understand what he meant.

It's just a coal mine, why do you need wind bags to ventilate? What other lighting needs to be used...

Turning his head and looking at Sun Ce, Lu Bu knew that he must be full of doubt at this time.

He didn't explain to Sun Ce, but just asked: "If Bo Fu wants to figure out what the coal mine looks like, just go with me to see it."

"Take us to see the wind bag." Lu Bu ordered the manager.

The manager responded and led them to the entrance of the mine.

As soon as they arrived, Lu Bu and others saw two huge wind bags at the entrance.

Several miners were stepping on windbags and blowing into the mine.

After the wind bag on the left bulges, the wind bag on the right is then connected.

When the wind inside the wind bag on the right was pushed into the mine, the left one was then filled with fresh air.

"Who thought of making these two wind bags?" Lu Bu asked the manager.

The manager replied: "It's Mr. Chen. He thought we couldn't fan the mine before, so he found a way to build these two wind bags..."

"There are many methods for the public station." Lu Bu nodded, and then said to the manager: "Take us down to the well and have a look."

"Marquis Chu is going downstairs?" the manager asked in surprise.

"When I come here, of course I have to go downstairs to take a look." Lu Bu said: "The most important thing in coal mines is safety. I can't see anything standing here. Only by going downstairs can you understand how you ensure that the miners are thorough in your daily life.

Lu Bu was going to take a look underground, but of course the managers didn't dare to stop him.

The manager who led the charge said to Lu Bu timidly: "The mine is dirty. If it goes down, it will definitely make a face full of carbon ash. I ask you not to mine coal first, and wait until Chu Hou sees it..."

"If you don't mine, how can I know where I can't do it?" Lu Bu interrupted him: "Don't say so much, come over with a few sets of clothes worn by miners, and Bo Fu and others will go down and take a look."

Knowing that Lu Bu must go to the mine to take a look, the manager had to instruct another manager next to him to find a few sets of clothes worn by the miner.

Not long after, the manager brought some brand new sets of clothes with him.

He picked up a piece of clothing and shook it open and looked at it. Lu Bu smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'll wear these clothes."

"The Chu Hou is too burly, and no one can compare to it." The manager who led the lead quickly replied: "If you rush to make clothes, it's probably too late..."

"You can't just make a set of clothes for the next mine." Lu Bu said: "It's better to be smaller than to wear armor to go downstairs."

"Marty Chu, please come here to change clothes." The manager who led the lead asked Lu Bu and others to change clothes at a place not too far from the entrance of the mine.
