The presence of oil has made Arabs rich, and it has played an important role in daily economic life, industrial production and aerospace and military industry. It can be said that whoever controls the supply and pricing of oil controls the direction of war and the lifeblood of the world economy. But before that, coal has always been a change-maker of the times, it is the main force of the industrial revolution, but also an important energy and strategic resource before the industrial age. Therefore, as long as there is coal, there are countless coal kilns, and for the sake of profit, there are often countless unregulated small black coal kilns.
Historical records
During the Qing Dynasty, Tongchuan (ancient tongguan county) in Shaanxi was an important base for coal production at that time, but at the same time, it was also the place with the most black coal kilns and the most chaotic order at that time. In the Qing Dynasty's "Tongguan County Chronicle", a story about the black coal kiln was recorded, and it was not ordinary people who fell into the black coal kiln, but the Four Pin Daotai of the Great Qing Dynasty!
Micro service private visit
According to the literature, at that time, this Daotai old man chose Tongguan County as the place of investigation in order to observe the people's feelings. In order to further understand the real situation in the local area, the old man of Daotai did not bring a bodyguard, and he wore plain clothes and micro-clothes for private visits, but the result was a big incident. When he first came here, The old master of Daotai felt that the people of Tongguan County were simple and simple, and the locals greeted him warmly and treated him with courtesy, and when he learned that he was from other places to "run to relatives and friends", the locals were even more enthusiastic, and some people wanted to introduce him to work.
In this regard, the Old Master of Daotai was quite proud, and he also felt that there was light on his face. But in fact these people are
Up to no good
。
At that time, due to the large number of black coal kilns in Tongguan County, it was not easy to recruit workers on the surface, and many people moved their minds to recruit workers through fraud and abduction. And once someone enters the black coal kiln, basically a lifetime is over, the lucky one can still eat three meals normally, most of them work day and night, no wages, no normal food, no rest, and no hope.
The platform of tragedy
In order to obtain stable recruitment channels, these black coal kilns will establish contact with local well-informed people. For example, shavers, carpenters, tailors, etc., may be their informants. While they charge commissions, they are also responsible for defrauding people into black coal kilns, and people like Daotai, who obviously have a foreign accent, are their first choice. Therefore, when Daotai was still lamenting that the rivers and mountains were good and the people were friendly, he was "enthusiastically" sent to the black coal kiln by these people.
However, ordinary people do not know the Daotai Master, but the owner of the black coal kiln cannot not be unaware. He is also a party figure, and naturally recognizes the Daotai. But at this time, it is difficult to ride the tiger, and you can only arrange it as a coolie. Countless days and nights, the Daotai master got up early and felt dark, tired to the point of vomiting blood, and his originally rounded and white body had lost a large circle.
Finally rescued
Three years later, when it was a severe winter, Tongguan County Ling accidentally found a blood letter in the coal pile while taking coal for heating, and through analysis, he was surprised to find that this was actually written by Daotai! After learning of this, he immediately thoroughly investigated the source of this batch of coal, and also found the Daotai that had been missing for 3 years, but at this time, the Daotai was almost dying.
This matter comes from the "Tongguan County Chronicle", which has a certain degree of authenticity, but in some places it is ambiguous, so the authenticity of the incident still needs to be judged. However, the rampant black coal kilns during the Qing Dynasty are ironclad evidence. Even Jiaqing attaches great importance to cracking down on black coal kilns, after all, even the "Daotai" can be caught by black coal kilns, let alone ordinary people!
