That's right, the way Yan Liqiang said that the way to sell soil as expensive as coal is honeycomb coal.

When he came to the craftsman camp, he saw Qian Su talking about coal in the coal yard, and he had already thought of honeycomb coal at that time.

In this era, people who have really burned coal stoves know that people who buy coal like to buy large pieces of coal, because the fine coal is not good to burn in the traditional stove, it is not easy to burn, and those fine coal is like sand, and it is more put in the stove, and it is even possible to extinguish the firewood and grass, so the fine coal is very difficult to sell, and when everyone goes to buy coal, those fine coal are put into the big coal and sold together. Because the supply of coal in Pingxi County is now tight, the coal imported by the craftsman battalion this time is not in good condition, and the fine coal that is not easy to burn accounts for a considerable part.

These finely crushed coals that are not easy to burn are annoying to others, and for Yan Liqiang, these finely crushed coals are simply the best raw materials for making honeycomb coal.

The most traditional formula of honeycomb coal is 20% yellow clay, plus 80% pulverized coal, then add a little lime, add some water, and then make an iron mold for honeycomb coal, and you can start work.

Don't talk about coal, but if you want to talk about loess, there is no money all over the mountains, you don't need money at all, you can dig it, and lime is also very cheap, it is ready-made, and there is no problem with water, as for the iron mold of honeycomb coal, it is not difficult, whether it is Yan Liqiang's house or the general camp here, it is a simple matter to create a little iron mold.

The price of cinder pulverized coal is lower than that of coal, after mixing with loess to make honeycomb coal, the same weight of honeycomb coal, even if it is only sold at a price with ordinary coal, this is also the business of turning loess into gold, absolute profiteering, and in fact, after it is really made, this honeycomb coal should be sold at least a little more expensive than coal, and the profit is terrifying.

Yan Liqiang asked Qian Su to find a charcoal core and a wooden board, and while speaking, he clearly drew the honeycomb coal and the iron mold for making honeycomb coal, so that the two of them could see it more clearly at a glance.

For Qian Su and Yan Dechang, who saw honeycomb coal for the first time, looking at the appearance of honeycomb coal drawn by Yan Liqiang on the drawing board, the mouths of the two people, after they opened, they couldn't close, both of them were blacksmiths, and it was commonplace to burn the stove fire, and the two of them knew the mystery just by looking at the appearance of the honeycomb coal.

Qian Su slapped his thigh twice excitedly, "Wonderful, wonderful, it's really wonderful, the eyes on these briquettes can naturally be ventilated, no one needs to dig it, this fire can naturally burn vigorously, these few gas eyes, it's amazing, it's amazing......"

"Yes, yes, when burning charcoal or coal in the furnace, if the fire of the stove is not strong, there is still a need for someone to pick up the fire at any time, that is, to leave a gas eye on the fire, so as to help the fire, let the gas under the stove come up, if there are these gas holes on the briquette, as soon as the coal burns, no one will have to take care of it!" Yan Dechang nodded and said, and at the same time glanced at Yan Liqiang with some surprise, even as Yan Liqiang's old man, he felt that Yan Liqiang made him more and more incomprehensible at this time, could it be that Yan Liqiang was really taught by a god when he was dreaming?

In the past, Yan Dechang was still a little unimpressed by Yan Liqiang's statement, but now, even he was shaken, thinking of this, looking at the thing Yan Liqiang drawn, Yan Dechang asked a question, "Liqiang, what kind of coal do you say you made this thing called?"

"This coal is called ......," Yan Liqiang just said four words.

"Wait a minute, let me guess......" Yan Liqiang hadn't said the three words honeycomb coal, Qian Su next to him suddenly spoke, Qian Su looked at the picture drawn by Yan Liqiang seriously, his brows furrowed tightly, and then stretched out all of a sudden, "This thing, is it called lotus root coal, you look at these pores, this section looks like a cut lotus root!"

Yan Liqiang blinked, and then looked at the appearance of the honeycomb coal he painted, don't say it, Qian Su said that it looks like a lotus root, which is really not wrong at all.

"Liqiang, did you say I guessed right?"

"Yes, this is the lotus root coal, Uncle Qian's insight is very subtle, which really makes Liqiang admire!" Yan Liqiang said with a straight face, and at the same time gave Qian Su a thumbs up.

"I'll just say, Liqiang, what you got from the gods in your dreams, this name must also be immortal......" Qian Su stroked his beard, and his face was quite proud.

"What does Uncle Qian think of this business?"

"If this coal ash is mixed with loess and can be burned, then this business is an endless mountain of gold!" The expression on Qian Su's face slowly became serious, revealing a thoughtful look, " This business is too big, the craftsman camp can't eat a bite, these things you said, if you just let the craftsman battalion do it, it will be a waste, there are many people in the craftsman camp, this thing is made, the money has not been earned, others will take a look at it, the secret can not be kept, immediately someone can follow the imitation, the imitation of the people are more, the price of this lotus root coal can not go up, the money will be less, and this thing, should be in a city like Pingxi City with large sales, enough profits, if you can grasp the supply of Pingxi City lotus root coal in your hands, it is difficult not to make a fortune, if you want to do it, it is best to find one or two powerful partners to do it together, and Pingxi City will be packed......" Speaking of this, Qian Su saw Yan Liqiang smiling silently, he reacted immediately, guessed Yan Liqiang's thoughts, he laughed all of a sudden, pointed at Yan Liqiang and shook his head with a smile, "Liqiang, you really even calculated your Uncle Qian, okay, I'll go with you tomorrow......"

Yan Liqiang laughed, "Thank you Uncle Qian, but this matter is not just borrowing Uncle Qian's name, it really depends on Uncle Qian's contribution, my father and Uncle Qian are counted together, no matter how much the shares on our side are talked about in the end, the two of you will account for half, this thing is really going to happen, Uncle Qian, you can live in Yixiangyuan every day for the next three hundred and sixty-five days......

"Living in Yixiangyuan every day, my bones can live for a few years......" Qian Su laughed.

"What are you two talking about, why do I get more confused the more I listen......" Yan Dechang next to him looked at Qian Su and then at Yan Liqiang, with a blank face, not knowing what kind of dumb riddle the two were playing.

"Liqiang, this is trying to bring the Lu family in first......" Qian Su explained.

"Liqiang, this, do you really want to do this business? Why do I feel that you have spread the stall so big all of a sudden, and it is a little unsteady...... Yan Dechang said worriedly.

"Dad, don't worry, I'm measured, we and Uncle Qian only have ideas for this business, take out the secret of lotus root coal and invest in shares, don't invest much, don't occupy many shares, just make a few friends first, make people first......"

Hearing Yan Liqiang say this, Yan Dechang naturally had nothing to say.

......

The next day, the heavy snow fell, and in the midst of the heavy snowfall, Yan Dechang took a carriage, left the craftsman camp, and returned to Qinghe County, while Yan Liqiang and Qian Su, after lunch, the two of them rode on the rhinosaurus horse and headed towards Lujiazhuang......

I haven't gone to Lujiazhuang yet, just walked halfway, there is a hillside in front, it is a three-way road, the sound of the ground shaking came from the corner of the hillside in front, listen to the sound, at least hundreds of riders are riding horses at a rapid pace, the momentum is magnificent.

Yan Liqiang and Qian Su, who were chatting for a day, glanced at each other, slowed down their horses, and let the horses stand on the side of the road.

So many rhinosaurus horses are running together on the road, it is very terrifying, it is like there are a lot of people racing on the highway, if you accidentally hit it head-on, one of the other party is not good at riding and can't control it, once someone lands at this time, maybe there is a danger to life, so both of them are cautious.

After just a few breaths, a large number of heavily armed cavalry with bows and guns turned from the side of the hill, and those cavalrymen didn't look at Yan Liqiang and Qian Su, and after turning the hillside, they went directly to the other side of the three-way road in a rage......

"Ah, these cavalry are the elite stationed in Pingxi City, how could they come to Huanglong County in a hurry?" Yan Liqiang said to Qian Su in surprise.

Looking at the direction in which the cavalry left, Qian Su frowned, "Let's go, let's go to Lujiazhuang first......

"Hmmm......"

The two men continued to walk towards the front, but they did not expect that the two of them had just walked for a few minutes, and a large number of riders appeared on the road ahead, and those riders, there were forty or fifty of them, all wearing cloaks and red headbands on their heads, braving the wind and snow, waving whips, and riding rhinosaurus horses at a gallop, as if chasing the group of cavalry in front of them......

The next group of riders, from the way they dressed, knew that they were all rangers.

Something happened, something must have happened......

Yan Liqiang and Qian Su glanced at each other and stopped at the same time.

"Uncle Qian, look at ......" Yan Liqiang shouted.

"Let's go, let's go up and have a look, and then go to Lujiazhuang......" Qian Su immediately turned the horse's head

"Good ......"

The two of them directly clamped the horse's belly and rushed after the group of rangers......
