The briquette-making plant was situated close to the shoreline, on a cliff overlooking the sea.
This particular location was chosen because it was relatively close to the open-air coal pit, and so transportation of the staff, soft rock was pretty easy.
"Welcome, my lord. I greet you well," Takfiz bowed as Alexander approached him on horseback.
And after the initial general talk, Alexander got to know about the plant.
"We have started making the briquettes since yesterday my lord," Takfiz gave him the most important part of the news first as he led the lord inside.
There the very first thing that Alexnder saw were coals being laid down on large, flat terraces which were being run over by heavy rollers pulled by horses and crushing the soft rock.
