Dataishan Coal Mine has been an important coal supply site since the Liao Dynasty. The coal fields here are characterized by low sulfur, low phosphorus, low nitrogen, low ash and high heat. The coal mines here supply Beijing iron smelting and residential heating. In addition, there are Da'anshan Coal Mine, which provide a steady stream of coal industry supply to the Jingji area.

On the north side of the Xishan Glass Factory built by Zhu Cixuan, Changgouyu Coal Mine and Muchengjian Coal Mine were all excavated one after another, completely solving the problem of coal use in the glass factory.

Especially this Muchengjian Coal Mine is close to Xishan, with a very rich storage capacity. It is just tailor-made for the glass factory. There is such a coincidence, and it is simply God’s help to me in the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Cilang is not the only one who is happy. The refugees who are saturated in the glass factory can be completely placed in the Muchengjian Coal Mine to the north.

To be honest, the wages given to these refugees by the glass factory are not high, only enough for their family’s living expenses. But at present, these refugees are responsible for food and accommodation, which is a great gift for the refugees.

What’s important is that they know that this is the factory built by the prince. Who is the prince, the crown prince of the true dragon emperor.

In the eyes of the people, few people have seen the emperor in their entire lives. In the eyes of the people, the emperor is like the Kitchen God beside the stove.

And His Highness the Crown Prince is the emperor's son. In the future, he will be the emperor like the Kitchen God.

Therefore, what Zhu Cilang couldn't stand the most was that whenever he went, the refugees knelt all over the ground. Although he ordered that he would not be too polite. When everyone heard that it was the prince who came, they still couldn't help but kneel down to greet him.

"Okay, okay, I don't need you to kneel down, everyone should get up. Next, I will assign you some of the strong labor force to go to Muchengjian Coal Mine, where you earn a lot, and you can support your family. Those with craftsmanship, especially those who can make porcelain or ironwork, stay in Xishan, Miss Yuan, please bring someone to register for them."

Everyone from the Eastern Palace Guard was called to help, and Yuan Xiaoxiao and the others started to resettle the refugees. On a dirt slope, Zhu Cixuan stood at the highest point.

Below are a group of refugees in tattered clothes and slack clothes. The long-term malnutrition makes them emaciated, and some children have surprisingly large belly, which is caused by edema.

The crowd calmed down, listening to the prince’s words.

Zhu Cilang thought he was very good at inciting the crowd: "I know that you are all a group of people who have lost their homes and land. I also believe that your land is occupied by landlords and bullies. I cannot make the decision on these things now. In the future, I will definitely seek justice for you and escape back to justice for my 10,000 people of the Ming Dynasty!"

Meng Fanchao, the secret guard beside Zhu Cilang, was frightened because the prince's speech offended all civil and military officials. If it was heard by the court officials in the capital, they still didn't know how to hate or fear the prince.

Because Zhu Cilang was firing in this dark era, what he was angry with was the corrupt bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty.

It is no exaggeration to say that more than 90% of the refugees in Xishan may suffer from drought or floods in their hometowns, but in the final analysis, it is caused by man-made disasters. The exploitation of the government made them sell their land and live an unsustainable life.

I can’t afford to pay the rent but I can’t pay the bill. After working hard all year round, not only can I save a grain of food, but I also owe the landlords money. In addition, the natural disasters, the people who can’t survive have to wander with their families.

The refugees who flocked to Beijing were just the tip of the iceberg. Most of the refugees were annexed by the landlords and the government. The prince said that he would make a decision for them in the future and would seek justice.

Like whoever seeks justice will naturally go to the government. Zhu Cilang’s meaning is very clear. In the future, this palace will punish all those who rob your land. This is the offending officials of the world. If a prince dares to offend the world, how long can the prince be?

Therefore, Meng Fanchao was scared. He expected that among these refugees, there would be no detailed work by the court. Otherwise, the prince's speech in Xishan today would offend countless people.

Those officials will try every means to stop the prince, because if the prince ascends the throne in the future, they will be the ones they will deal with.

The refugees were obviously moved, and some people quietly wiped their tears. However, even more excited were still behind.

Zhu Cilang then said, "When you arrive at Xishan, you are my people. Here, no one dares to oppress you anymore, no one dares to force you anymore. The land that has been reclaimed in the entire Xishan is yours. Men, working in Xishan, women, and women who have the strength and can work, you can reclaim the land and we are self-sufficient. Xishan Glass Factory will definitely make you wronged at the beginning, because I don't have that much money to give you, but in the future, when our glass factory makes money, I will definitely not treat you badly!"

This is not a prosperous era. Zhu Cilang didn't have that much money to resettle all the refugees. He didn't have that much money to pay the craftsmen's wages. The only thing he could do was to let them eat and work. When the factory made a profit in the future, they would be rewarded accordingly.

But for the people, this is already a great gift. They cried, and one person cried with ten people. Ten people got up a group of people, and they cried loudly, and the crying sounds were everywhere.

Next, they knelt down one after another, shouting for a thousand years!

This thousand-year-old was their heartfelt cry. The prince gave them a chance to be reborn.

There are only a few consequences for being a refugee, one is to be repatriated and resettled by the court. At present, this possibility is very slim. Since the first year of Chongzhen, natural disasters have continued, and the court has no way to resettle these refugees. Otherwise, they would not have been stranded in the capital and become a social uneasy factor.

Another kind of miserable thing is also the fate of most refugees. That is, the family continues to flee and eventually starves to death. There are many corpses on the road, starving to death, and there is not even a person who collects the corpse. The wild dogs can tear the body of the family to pieces, starve to death and die of illness and death, and they cannot return home. How miserable is this for the people who are keen to return to their roots.

Another type is to rebel. Most of the historical books blame the rebellion of refugees on the darkness of the court. In fact, the cruelty of these refugees is no less than that of cruel government officials.

What are the conditions for survival for the thieves and what are they to strengthen their team? Bandits like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong also rely on robbers.

Although most of the robbers they were government officials and landlords, sometimes they inevitably caused some innocent people to suffer from the disaster.

For example, Huang Chao of the Tang Dynasty was a super murderer and a man-eating demon. After the rebel army entered Chang'an City, in order to solve the problem of military food, they actually treated innocent people as food rations in the army. "The thief captured people and ate them, killing thousands of them a day. The thief had pounded Mozhai, and hundreds of giant mortars were taken. They were born with people and smacked them, and they ate them together. If the poison was like this.

Of course, this record inevitably makes people wonder whether someone maliciously belittled the bandits and beautify the court. But it is undeniable that after Li Zicheng occupied Beijing City, he agreed to be completely unwarranted, but in the end he turned Beijing City into hell.
