Chapter 169: Coal Mountain
Yun Sizhe was taken aback by the sudden excitement of his aunt, who had always been calm and relaxed, and he replied cautiously, afraid that something wrong would stimulate her. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"yes, it's black dirt. ā
Lin Xuejing was also inexplicable when she saw her so excited, but she still said, "Qing'er, I have seen a little sticky on Sizhe's clothes, which is still different from ordinary soil, but it is indeed black. ā
Yun Wanqing immediately stood up, picked up Sizhe and said, "Baby, take your aunt to have a look." ā
Yun Sizhe glanced at his mother anxiously, how could he think that today's aunt was a little scary.
Yun Wanqing also realized that she was too out of shape to scare the child, so she smiled embarrassedly and coaxed, "Sizhe, I'm sorry, my aunt is too excited." Do you know that this black soil you found may be a treasure, can you take your aunt to see it?"
Yun Sizhe nodded, "Okay, this mountain is in the east of the city, let's take a carriage over now." ā
Yun Wanqing didn't say much, she hugged Yun Sizhe and left the house, and Lin Xuejing naturally followed.
"Auntie, you see this mountain, and that's where Zhe'er found that black soil. Yun Sizhe pulled Yun Wanqing and ran quickly to a mountain that was not too high, and pointed to the black soil not far away.
Yun Wanqing immediately ran to the black soil in their mouths, reached out and picked up a little bit and put it on her hand to look at it carefully, and found that it was indeed the coal she guessed. The excitement in my heart can be imagined.
You know, if this is really a coal mountain, this is more than carbon, and if it can be dug up and distributed to the people, then this natural disaster will no longer be a problem.
"Qing'er, what's wrong?" Lin Xuejing didn't bother Yun Wanqing all the time, and when she saw the relieved expression on her face, she asked with concern in a low voice.
Yun Wanqing clapped her hands and stood up, picked up Yun Sizhe, kissed him fiercely, and said, "Great, baby, you have really done a great job this time." The black soil in this mountain is a big treasure, and it can save thousands of people. ā
Lin Xuejing and Yun Sizhe were stunned by these words, and they didn't react for a long time. Isn't it just some black soil? How can it be possible to save so many people?
Yun Wanqing knew that they didn't believe it, and she didn't explain much. Put down Yun Sizhe and grab some black soil at random, wrap it in a silk handkerchief, and put it away carefully.
This made Lin Xuejing on the side feel very distressed, the silk handkerchief in Yun Wanqing's hand was embroidered by herself for several days, it was very beautiful, and now she actually used it to wrap these black soil so easily, can she still wash it after she goes back?
"Bingxuan, you go to the Three Princes' Mansion and the Six Princes' Mansion immediately, and let your brother-in-law and Brother Chenyi come over immediately, I have something to look for them. As soon as she returned to the mansion, Yun Wanqing instructed Bingxuan to hurry up and find the Situ brothers.
But I didn't expect that there were more than just the Situ brothers who came over.
Yun Kening naturally didn't need to say it, Bingxuan didn't know what was going on, but just said that there was something urgent to find them, Yun Kening thought something was wrong, so he naturally hurriedly followed.
In addition to Yun Kening, Yang Yaoyuan, Zhou Bojian, Yang Xuhuan, and Liang Yuhao also came over. They happened to be in the Three Princes' Mansion discussing how to help the people solve this crisis. Hearing that Yun Wanqing had something, they all ran over.
"Qing'er, what's wrong?" Situ Chenyi asked first with concern.
Yun Wanqing knew that everyone cared about him, so she smiled and said, "I'm fine, I just found something and asked you to come and take a look." Since you're all here, I'll call the eldest brother and them over by the way. ā
Bingxuan didn't need her special orders when he heard her words, and went directly to inform Yun Zirui and them. In a few moments, everyone was here.
Yun Wanqing took out the handkerchief wrapped in coal from her body and placed it on the table. Everyone gathered around curiously.
"Qing'er, isn't this just black soil?what's so strange, I thought you had found some treasure?" Yang Yaoyuan said with a disappointed expression.
Yun Wanqing didn't want to deal with him directly, she had actually been curious about how a person with few brains like Yang Yaoyuan survived in the upper circle of the capital.
Speaking of which, Yun Wanqing really underestimated Yang Yaoyuan, except for the Prime Minister's Mansion, which mansion is not a mess in the backyard, and it will not be stupid to survive in such a messy backyard. Yang Yaoyuan is no exception, he just doesn't like to use his brain when he is with these friends.
"This doesn't look like dirt, Qing'er, you specially asked us to come over and see it, it must not be something inconsequential, right?" Situ Hanyu said.
Yun Wanqing nodded, "That's right, this thing is a life-saving treasure for ordinary people today." ā
When everyone heard Yun Wanqing's words, they all looked at her with a straight face.
Yun Wanqing didn't explain much, so she asked Bingxuan to take out a stove, empty it, put in this small bit of coal, light it with a fire, and after a while, put the stove in front of everyone, and motioned for them to reach out and touch it.
"It's very hot, I didn't expect it to be so hot after such a small bit of black soil is lit. Situ Chenyi said.
After everyone had touched the stove, Yun Wanqing said, "This was discovered by Sizhe and a few other children when they were playing in the mountains east of the city. This is coal, it can be burned, if I guess correctly, that mountain should be a coal mountain, as long as we invest a lot of manpower to mine this coal mountain, and quickly disperse the coal throughout the country, we can appropriately reduce some casualties. ā
Hearing Yun Wanqing's words, everyone was a little excited. If the whole mountain was covered with this coal, those ordinary people would not freeze to death again.
"But there is a problem, even if we are fast, mining and transportation are inconvenient due to heavy snow, it is estimated that it will be difficult to help the people quickly. I called you here to discuss and see if there is anything you can do. Yun Wanqing said softly with her little face in her hands.
The excitement of the crowd cooled down again because of these words. This is the biggest problem today, and now that the roads are closed by heavy snow, they can't get through many places at all. Most of the ordinary people live in the mountains, and it is impossible to get this coal in.
"In any case, let's let the coal mountain be mined first, and where it can be transported, let's transport it first. Yun Zirui said.
Situ Hanyu nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I will go into the palace now and tell my father that he will send people to take turns to mine, and he must dig out all this coal as soon as possible." ā
In this regard, everyone will naturally not be right, the sooner you start mining, the sooner you can save some people.
"Qing'er, since coal mountains can be found in the capital, there should be other places as well. It's better to pass the news on and let the people go to the coal mountain to mine by themselves. Yun Ziheng said.
Yun Wanqing shook her head, "No, let's not talk about whether there is a coal mountain, this coal mining mountain is not a joke, it will bring danger to the people." We're not doing this to help them, we're probably hurting them. ā
"Then what should I do? Do you just let those people fend for themselves?" Yun Zixuan said with some sadness. They are affected by the clouds and sunshine, and they are extremely protective of ordinary people.
Yun Wanqing held her forehead and didn't speak, she just couldn't think of a suitable way to call them over to discuss. Since ancient times, traffic jams have been the most troublesome thing.
In the previous life, you could still take a plane and find a way to help, but in this era when you don't even have a car, there is no way at all.
"Miss, this was sent by the slave maid by the lady, and it is already lunch time, and the lady asked you to eat first anyway. Hongfeng brought a lot of food with the maid and said to Yun Wanqing.
This is Ouyang Qianru's concern, and Yun Wanqing naturally can't refuse. "Everyone is hungry too, let's eat something first and then think slowly, if you are hungry, you don't have to think about helping others. ā
Everyone smiled, didn't say anything, and ate together.
"Hey, thinking about those people, it's also pitiful, we can still eat so much delicious food, but what about those people? If it goes on like this, I'm afraid we're going to run out of food, right?" Yang Xu couldn't bear to say.
The personalities who can play together are similar, and the people sitting here really care about and love the people.
"This is also something that can't be helped, even if we have the heart to save them, but we are so far away, we can only be in a hurry, those magistrates who are better will think of a way, if we meet those who don't care, the people are really pitiful. Even if the coal is dug up, it is difficult to say whether it will actually be delivered to the people in need. Yun Zirui said with a frown.
"You say, wouldn't it be better for us to separate and send it over when the coal is dug up?" Yun Wanqing said.
