"But young master, let's go up there and find the empty bamboo in the middle? Besides..... "Lao Zhong was a little embarrassed, he could understand what Zhang Yi meant, but if he wanted to meet the conditions in Zhang Yi's mouth, he felt that it was a little difficult.

The third uncle was not, the two old eyes couldn't stop looking at the roof, then looked at the chopsticks in Zhang Yi's hand, and finally said: "I estimate that it can be done!" Even if there is a hollow bamboo, it is not useful! ”

While saying that, he stood opposite Zhang Yi, pointed to the table and said to the old Zhong: "Steward Zhong, look! This is the smoke outlet, and although there is no direct flame, the temperature is definitely not low, and if it is made of bamboo or hollowed-out wood, I am sure it will be burned, and if it is so, the house will be burned!

But I have a way here, uncle, do you think it can be done? “

Locked, the third uncle found two tiles at the door, and said to Zhang Yi with a smile: "Uncle, look, how about we make these tiles into two semicircles and connect them like bamboo joints?" As long as this gap is sealed tightly with clay, and then the outside is hooped with bamboo strips, then there is no longer the problem of fire, and the smoke in the stove can also lead to the outside along this opening! ”

This time, it was Zhang Yi's turn to be stunned!

I didn't expect it! The method that the third uncle came up with was exactly the same as the chimney of the later generations! If it weren't for the fact that the third uncle and his old man were born and raised in the Tang Dynasty, he would have even thought that this master had also crossed over from the later generations.

Just at him, you can't admire it!

Immediately, Zhang Yi gave a thumbs up to the third uncle and praised: "It's done, it's definitely done!" Third uncle, if you don't succeed in this method, I'm afraid there is no other way to use it! But we still have to see if there is charcoal there to make a chimney, if the amount is not enough to burn, no matter how good the method is, it will be in vain! ”

Although he said that, Zhang Yi was thinking in his heart that even if there was no coal in Jingyang, then there must be one in the entire Guanzhong territory, as long as he found someone to inquire, it should not be difficult.

If you can buy a hill or two with open-pit coal mines somewhere first, and then find someone to dig the coal, then the profit is not small!

Although it is impossible to monopolize the entire coal market, once the use of coal is on the streets, when every household starts to use coal, then making a fortune is basically a matter of getting rich.

For example, coal stoves, honeycomb coal, and tin kettles for boiling hot water..... Take it out any way, even if he doesn't want to get rich, he can't do it!

I was thinking about whether to go directly to Shanxi directly, when I heard the third uncle laugh and said, "Uncle, isn't this thing of stone coal on the back mountain?" Not only there are, but there are also a lot, as far as Sun Shenxian chose the foundation of the monastery before because there is a large amount of charcoal, so it was replaced by the current mountainside, as long as there are people, we want charcoal easily! ”

Hearing the third uncle talk about Taoism, Zhang Yi remembered why he was so familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

The reason is that when he first went to the Taoist temple, Zhang Yi had seen this thing before!

As the third uncle said, the Taoist temple was originally intended to be built on the top of the mountain, and he followed it at that time, and also told Sun Simiao that the location was quite good, with a considerable sunrise in the morning and the waves of the Jingyang River at night.

It was at that moment that Zhang Yi saw a palm-sized piece of coal!

But it's just a glance, and because the coal is small, I haven't thought about it for a long time.

But listening to what the third uncle said, the feeling is actually an open-pit coal mine!

You know, the difficulty of collecting in open-pit coal mines is much lower than that in underground coal mines, and it is also very safe, as long as there are people who keep digging with tools and then transport them back. This way of collecting is almost no different from picking up!

"Old Zhong, is that mountain our family?" Zhang Yi suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, so he hurriedly asked Lao Zhong.

"Young master, it's not our family!" Old Zhong shook his head and said, "That mountain actually has no owner!" If anything, it's Your Majesty! ”

Zhang Yi immediately wondered, how could such a good mountain not have an owner?

Seeing that Zhang Yi was a little puzzled, the third uncle smiled and said: "That's right, not only that mountain, but in fact, many mountains are barren mountains with no people!" Uncle, don't look at the large territory of the mountain, in fact, you can't grow crops at all, firstly, there are often some wild beasts in the mountains that come out to spoil the crops, and secondly, it is also a problem to grow grain for irrigation.

This mountain is high and the road is slippery, and before I can pick up the water, I sprinkle half of it, and then the remaining half of the water can only be wet. The stock is such a big group, so except for doctors like Sun Shenxian, there are almost only three or five Orions to drill into. What do you say you're doing in a place like this? ”

After listening to the third uncle's explanation, Zhang Yi calmed down.

Since the mountain has no owner, then everything is very easy. As long as you find a reason to spend a little money to buy it at the county office, I believe that the county magistrate should not be difficult for himself, right?

What's more, he is generating income for the county government, although this point cannot be written into the evaluation of the county order, but it is also a qualification to be able to exchange a barren mountain with almost no output for a copper coin to hand over to the imperial court.

After paying attention, Zhang Yi immediately instructed Lao Zhong: "Hurry up Ming'er, you will take your young master's and my greeting post to find the county order and buy that mountain for our family!" Whether he wants silver or copper money, let's not bargain, buy a word! ”

Saying that, Zhang Yi looked at the third uncle again, and said with a smile: "Third uncle, you have also helped to inquire in the past two days, there are also such charcoal in the mountains of other places in our Jingyang, if there is one, let people tell Lao Zhong directly, and we will buy them all!" ”

"Done!" The third uncle immediately nodded and said to Zhang Yi: "Tomorrow, I will ask people to look for charcoal in the mountains of Sixiang and Wuli, as long as our method is not spread out, I estimate that the price is lower!" ”

can replace firewood, although it needs to add a chimney, in his opinion, it is definitely better than firewood, and even because of Zhang Yi's statement, he also discovered the profit in hindsight.

If the chimney is really useful, then this time it will definitely make a lot of money, and by that time Zhuangzi is not rich in flowing oil?

Zhang Yi naturally didn't dare to lower the price to buy Shantou, it was really because the benefits were too great, and he had no bottom in his heart!

You know, the interests of coal are not small, and when the time comes, why will he be a little earl and fight with those big guys? Not to mention thinking about Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's gang of old sharks, even if they come out casually from two big families, they can pinch him to death!

And the price is the most criticized place, if it is pressed too low, it is often the evidence of impeachment, and a hat that competes with the people is buttoned down, and he Zhang Yi can't buckle it!
