Chapter 58 Honeycomb Coal

"Haha, brother of the Feng family, we came to see you" Feng Daiwen had just finished saying that he would rest for a while, when he heard Cheng Chumo's gong-like voice coming, and when he looked up, it turned out that it was not early.

"A few brothers are here, I thought you wouldn't come after you were promoted," Feng Daiwen teased.

"Haha, if you want to say that the promotion is also the promotion of Brother Feng, I can't wait because I'm afraid of disturbing you and Princess Qingqing," Yu Chi Baolin said back.

"Knowing that I was promoted, why did you come empty-handed," Feng Daiwen looked at Yu Chi Baolin's disobedient white face and kept wondering, is this really Yu Chi Gong's own child? Not only does the face not look like it, but neither does the mind.

"Hehe, my brother still needs to give gifts." Cheng Chumo smiled and said. Cheng Chubi also smirked, Zhang Shanfeng was a shy teenager who had been bored on the side.

"Alright, let's go, I just have something to tell you." Feng Daiwen shook his head and looked at the two brothers Cheng Chumo, obviously with faces like twins, why did one laugh like a treacherous smile and the other like a smirk when he smiled, I don't understand,,,,,

Feng Daiwen took Ma Zhou and Feng Daiwu, who had just returned home from the fourth child, into the house to eat together. Feng Daijin and Feng Daihuo went to the barracks again,

"If you want to talk about things today, you won't drink, eat first, and talk after eating." Feng Daiwen said

When everyone heard this, they all picked up their bowls and moved silently.

After everyone put down the dishes and chopsticks and let the subordinates clean up, Feng Daiwen said: "I have discussed with the merchants of Jiangnan, Shuzhong, and the Western Regions, this time you will also send some people to bring our porcelain to the Western Regions, I hope you will run in person, and the third brother will also go, the Western Regions will definitely be fought in the future, you can get familiar with the Western Regions in this trip, and lay the foundation for future battles, and secondly, you can bring more manpower just in case, by the way, help Dingfang, he is the main general this time, and I have only one request for you, come back safely, It's okay to throw things away. ”

"Haha, thank you brother, it's really boring to stay in Chang'an, just go to the Western Regions." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.

"Don't be too happy, this matter must be agreed by your family Aye, even if you go all the way, you must listen to Dingfang's words," Feng Daiwen said solemnly:

"This is natural, General Su and I are acquaintances, and we must listen to him." Yu Chi Baolin hurriedly said.

"Well, that's good, this time you still have a task, try to buy as many white stacks in the Western Regions as possible, this is a big deal, but it takes a long time" Feng Daiwen said with satisfaction.

"Well, Brother Feng told me to do it, anyway, you won't treat me badly." Cheng Chumo said with a big grin.

"Well, if you Aya promises you to go to the Western Regions, you brothers have to be careful, after all, the Western Regions are not as good as the Central Plains, it is best to be well prepared, everything is to save your life, and you will find it back next time you suffer a loss." Feng Daiwen looked at the younger brothers in front of him and said babblingly. It's a fuck-up era, and it's normal for men to go to war in their teens.

In ancient times, it was very poor, the Central Plains was fine, the remote mountain villages may not be able to make a kitchen knife in a village, and it would be good to be able to mix wild vegetables at home after paying taxes on grain, no tools, in the water, and the prey on the mountains can only be looked at, thinking of these Feng Daiwen thought of their own children in later generations, born in a beautiful era, maybe in their hearts they can't imagine how poor they could be in ancient times, and many people freeze to death every winter,

Some people may ask why they don't cut wood to burn, there are several reasons, at that time, the peasants did not have their own mountains, and there were not many trees on other people's mountains, so how would you let you cut them, so there was a woodcutter, and the woodcutter had to go far to the borderless land to cut it, not to cut down the trees,

In fact, many places are not like after the 90s, to the forest is woods, many of the mountains before are grassy mountains, there is not much timber at all, the 80s began to plant trees to 2000 years later, and now the country is full of forests. (The author is a post-80s generation, who was taken up the mountain by his parents to cut grass in the autumn, and the large bundles were picked up home to burn in winter, and there were so many knives to cut grass in ancient times,)

In ancient times, the winter was called Wo Dong, all wars would basically stop, Wo Dong was a family who slept together at home to keep warm, but also to reduce activities, to be able to eat less, and wait until noon to go out to work for a while, get food, find money, many families in winter bed is a variety of grass, clothes are two layers of cloth, the grass in the middle, is to Feng Daiwen to the white stack, that is, cotton is so important, keep letting his brother and Cheng Chumo and others go to run,

"Got it, second brother, why are you talking as much as Aya" Feng Daiwu saw that Feng Daiwen had been repeatedly instructing there, so he interrupted:

"You stinky boy, if you are not obedient, I will clean you up when you come back" Feng Daiwen pretended to be annoyed and pointed at Feng Daiwu and said:

"Hahaha, brother, don't worry, we must take my brother's words to heart, and when we return, I will invite my brother to eat celebration wine" Yu Chi Baolin got up with a few people and said goodbye:

"Okay, Baolin, you have the most delicate thoughts, they will be handed over to you, remember to come back together safely" Feng Daiwen walked over and hugged Yu Chi Baolin hard and said:

Feng Daiwen kept sending a few people out of the house, and Ma Zhou asked behind him: "Since Wei Guo is not at ease, why do you want to let them go?" ”

"King Bin doesn't know, this matter is too important, I can't just count on those merchants in the Western Regions, I don't have much to worry about when I say that there is a fixed way along the way," Feng Daiwen said as if comforting himself.

"Haha, it's best that Wei Guo can think like this, but in fact, Wei Guo is too worried, he underestimates them, they have all fought on the battlefield, they know how to measure" Ma Zhou said with a smile.

"What King Bin said is that I'm too worried, and when they come back successfully, I won't freeze to death in the winter in the future, by the way, King Bin knows that there is charcoal there." Feng Daiwen relaxed and asked Ma Zhou.

"Carbon? There is near Chang'an, but the smell of charcoal is very strong, not easy to burn, it is used by poor people in winter, and many people die of carbon poisoning every year. Ma Zhou replied suspiciously.

"Yes and no, the charcoal is just one of them, let's talk about this charcoal first, the charcoal is fine, add a certain amount of clay and water to make a honeycomb shape, it is very flammable, and lasting, as for the carbon poison, it is just the toxic air after the charcoal is burned" Speaking of carbon, I thought of the honeycomb coal factory near the school when I was a child, at that time, it was like a strange thing to stop for a while every time I passed by, thinking of the simple happiness at that time, Feng Daiwen explained with a smile.

"So, as long as you keep it outside the house, you won't get carbon poisoning?" Ma Zhou's eyes lit up and said:

"Not only that, as long as the house is ventilated and ventilated, it will not be carbon toxic," said Feng Daiwen.

"Then the second one must be the white stack, but the white stack is also used to clip it in clothes, Zhou has been poor since he was a child, and he has also worn it, it is bulky and not warm, and many boys can't sleep in it, and they can't be used to make beds, if you want to take it, it's really troublesome to be as good as reed grass." Ma Zhou thought about it and said.

"These are all easy to do, there are always more ways than difficulties, I already have a little idea, and I will arrange someone to try it tomorrow." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"Haha, defending the country and righteousness, if you succeed, everyone in the world will be favored by it." Ma Zhou laughed happily.

"King Bin has won the award, since he is an official and wants to serve the country and the people, I think this is also the meaning of the Emperor Taishang naming me to defend the country," Feng Daiwen was also very happy, after all, it is a very pleasant thing to be able to move the things that he knows in later generations, so that Datang can have a great development, population is the key to restricting the development of Datang, this is one thing that Feng Daiwen has long understood, how to make Datang always have more people This is a difficult problem,,,,,
