If someone else said that he would use 100,000 yuan to buy all the coal in the Wang family's sphere of influence, Wang Ze would definitely agree without thinking about it, but this was a clever word, but he didn't dare to agree like this.

Because almost everyone knows that Gao Ming himself has the ability to turn decay into magic, and the kung fu of accumulating wealth is even more difficult for these families to match.

Just the business strategy of a rugby stadium and the speed of accumulating money have left many families in the dust, how dare Wang Ze wronged him in the first place by a shrewd person like Gao Ming?

"Is this coal really a good thing? Have a benefit I didn't know about? ”

Thinking of this, Wang Ze immediately hesitated, looking at his hesitation, Gao Ming laughed.

"How? 100,000 yuan to buy your Wang's coal, can you do this deal? ”

"This ......" At this time, Zi Wang Ze didn't dare to directly agree to Gao Ming, but arched towards Gao Ming: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what is the difference between this coal and your expression, please tell Your Highness!" ”

Looking at Wang Ze's sincere face, Gao Ming also knew that this set would not be able to be played, so he suddenly shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"I know you won't agree, well, then I'll tell you about the importance of this coal, first of all, let me ask you, do you know what the fuel of steam is?"

"Yes!" As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Wang Ze immediately nodded, "It's coal!" ”

Hearing Wang Ze's answer, Gao Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"By the way, do you know why I use coal as fuel for steam?"

"This ......" Obviously, Wang Ze didn't know this question, so he thought for a while before answering tentatively: "Because you don't want money?" ”

"Hahahaha!"

Hearing Wang Ze's answer, Gao Ming couldn't help laughing, seeing Gao Ming laughing like this, no matter how stupid Wang Ze was, he knew that he had guessed wrong, and he immediately lowered his head with a red face.

Looking at Wang Ze's embarrassed appearance, Gao Ming suddenly took a deep breath, and then shook his head at Wang Ze with a smile.

"The reason for not wanting money is really ...... Well, let me tell you directly, the reason why steam chooses to burn coal is because coal is not only powerful, but also burns for a long time! ”

"The fire is fierce, and it burns for a long time?"

After hearing Gao Ming's answer, Wang Ze thought about it carefully and found that coal did burn longer than charcoal, but he felt that this was not enough to cover up the shortcomings of coal, so he arched towards Gao Ming again.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please forgive Weichen for being blunt, even if the coal can burn for a long time, the charcoal poison should not be underestimated!"

"Charcoal poison?" Hearing this word, Gao Ming was stunned for a moment, but then laughed again, "What you said about the toxic gas released when coal burns, in fact, as long as you pay attention to ventilation, that thing is not threatening, think about it, those charcoal poisons, are they all closed doors and windows?" ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Ze immediately frowned and thought about it, as if he was thinking about something, and soon, he showed a surprised expression.

"It seems that this is indeed the case, as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said, those charcoal poisons are all burned at home with the doors and windows closed!"

"Isn't that right?" Gao Ming smiled slightly, and then spread out towards Wang Ze: "So, as long as you pay attention to ventilation, charcoal poison is not a threat, and this thing is very helpful for iron smelting!" ”

"Helps with ironmaking?" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Ze's eyes widened again.

Nowadays, most of the income of the Taiyuan Wang family comes from iron, that is to say, how much iron can be smelted, which has a great impact on the Wang family.

So he saluted Gao Ming again.

"Please also ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give advice!"

"Well said!" Gao Ming smiled slightly, and then opened his mouth again, "As far as I know, most of the blows used for ironmaking in the entire Tang Dynasty, including Taiyuan, require manpower, right?" ”

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Ze immediately nodded.

"Yes, even if we are in the Wang family, there are only a few blacksmiths who have water drains, and the others are all pulled."

Water drain, that is, hydraulic blast, although this thing has appeared in the Han Dynasty, but due to the environment, such a blast efficiency is actually very unstable, so most people still rely on manpower to make iron, which is why blacksmiths like to recruit apprentices.

If you want to learn to strike iron, first help the master pull the bellows for a year!

Relying on pure manpower to make iron, the efficiency is naturally not much higher, but for this era, this is a very normal situation, so Wang Ze at this time did not have any superfluous expression on his face.

But Gao Ming shook his head.

"Whether it's a water drain or a human pull, the efficiency is too low, but I'm afraid you can't understand what I say, I hope you go to the Ministry of Military Industry first, see what kind of blast is used by the Ministry of Military Industry, and then come back!"

"Let's go to the Ministry of Military Industry first?" Hearing Gao Ming's words, Wang Ze seemed to understand something, so he immediately stood up and bowed to Gao Ming, "Then Weichen will retire first!" ”

"Go ahead!"

After getting Gao Ming's consent, Wang Ze respectfully withdrew from the study, and then left the East Palace in the direction of the Ministry of Military Industry.

When Wang Ze arrived at the Ministry of Military Industry, Lu Zhigang came out of the door of the Ministry of Military Industry, and after seeing Wang Ze, Lu Zhi immediately greeted him with a smile.

"Haha, isn't this Brother Wang Xian? Is there a good thing for His Highness to recruit a virtuous brother this time? Brother Fool is here to congratulate Brother Xian first! ”

Speaking of this, Lu Zhi arched towards Wang Ze with a smile on his face.

Originally, Wang Ze was still a little dissatisfied with Lu Zhi because of the previous court affairs, but after all, the other party was one level older than himself in the official position, and now he was smiling like this, which was enough to give himself face, so Wang Ze could only smile and arch towards Lu Zhi.

"Lord Lu is polite, in fact, His Highness hasn't told me anything specific, just let me come here to see the bellows first."

"Bellows?" Hearing Wang Ze's words, Lu Zhi grinned again, "Then you have come to the right place, this bellows of the Ministry of Military Industry is amazing, even if it is a foolish brother, it is the first time in his life to see it, don't be too surprised later, haha!" ”

"Oh?" Originally, Wang Ze was still a little unimpressed, but now hearing Lu Zhi's words, it did arouse some curiosity in him, so he arched towards Lu Zhi.

"Since Lord Lu has seen it, why don't you tell your subordinates, what is the magic of this bellows of the Ministry of Military Industry?"

"Hahahaha!" As soon as Wang Ze's words fell, Lu Zhi laughed again, and waved towards him while laughing.

"Don't say, don't say, the foolish brother has signed a confidentiality agreement, so he can't say anything, if Brother Wang Xian wants to know, just go in and take a look, the foolish brother has something to do, so he will leave first!"

After speaking, Lu Zhi arched towards Wang Ze, and then turned to leave, looking at the back of him leaving, Wang Ze suddenly became even more puzzled.

"What's not to say about a bellows, and what's this non-disclosure agreement?"

Thinking of this, Wang Ze frowned and walked towards the gate of the Ministry of Military Industry with a stomach full of doubts.
