Chapter 414: Making Honeycomb Coal
The palace maids were also very excited, they were serving in the queen mother's bedroom, and it would be cold if they didn't burn gold charcoal. Not to mention the age of the Queen Mother.
The palace maid helped the Queen Mother change her clothes and helped the Queen Mother to take a look outside the palace.
The coachman and the little servant got down from the carriage and knelt down to worship the Queen Mother, "The little one is at the behest of the prince and princess, and specially came over to send a cart of gold charcoal to the Queen Mother." ”
"Okay, great, this is really a veritable charcoal in the snow, come and reward someone." The Queen Mother happily rewarded the coachman and the servant.
Supported by the palace maid, he walked towards the carriage step by step, and when he got closer, he saw clearly that it was indeed a large carriage of gold charcoal, which was full.
The Queen Mother has a bottom in her heart, you must know that now there is money in the capital and she can't buy such a large cart of charcoal. How precious this is, in this cold winter, I rely on gold charcoal to keep warm and continue my life.
At this time, the youngest son and daughter-in-law still wanted to send her such a large cart of gold charcoal, and she was comforted.
With this big carriage of golden silk charcoal, even if it is not burned day and night, it is enough for her to use it for a month, and the charcoal from the south has already been sent to the palace in the capital.
Mothers are selfless, the queen mother thought that the emperor and the queen palace were reluctant to burn charcoal, and ordered the guards below to send some gold charcoal to the emperor and the palace.
The crown prince, the empress dowager, did not forget, and the other five princes, the empress dowager also ordered someone to send some.
As for the concubines in the palace, the queen mother can't look down on her except for the queen, and will only compete for favor and sue her, which will add to her boredom.
Except for the queen, there are no concubines who are sincerely filial to her, and the golden silk charcoal will not be sent to them.
The night in the cold winter is really cold, and there is no shortage of gold charcoal in the Queen Mother's palace now, the body is cold, and the heart is indeed hot.
When the queen mother returned to the palace, the palace maid had already re-lit the charcoal fire, and after a while, the palace was warm and warm, and the queen mother was also comfortable.
It's not cold in this bedroom, and she's not in a hurry to lie down, so she eats fruit elegantly.
The county king's mansion also received a large carriage of golden silk charcoal from the palace servant.
The big house, the two bedrooms, the two bedrooms, and the whole family all ran out to see the excitement, and this movement also alarmed Mu Li to come out to see.
"A cart full of gold charcoal, this is a lot of silver! My sister and brother-in-law were so good to us. With the gold charcoal of this large wagon, the room was even hotter.
I haven't burned such a precious thing for the winter, thanks to my little sister's blessing, and I also enjoy the treatment of nobles. Second sister-in-law Mu opened her mouth excitedly.
"This golden silk charcoal is now in demand in the capital, but it can't be bought with silver. What do you mean by that sentence, why does the snow send charcoal? Mu Er was also very excited, and for a while, the words on his lips couldn't be said.
"The second brother is a charcoal in the snow." Mu Li replied.
"Yes, it's a charcoal in the snow, or how good it is to read, you can say it all at once." Mu Er's adoring eyes glanced at the third brother.
The big house family is also very happy, Sister-in-law Mu is almost five months pregnant, and the house is not warm in the cold winter, if she catches the cold. It was a disservice to her and the baby in her womb.
The whole county king's mansion was crazy with joy because of the golden silk charcoal of this big carriage. It won't be cold this winter.
In this way, Kapok sent out the golden silk charcoal of the two carriages, but received the thanks of the Queen Mother and her mother's brother and sister-in-law.
There are more than 100 gratitude points in the space at once.
The next day, the weather was fine, the sun came out, and Kapok couldn't stay in the house and pulled Chu Huaijin out of the house and walked around the house.
In winter, the sun is still cold, and the snow everywhere does not melt. It was still cold to the bone, and the wind was blowing.
"Mianmian Zhulan Courtyard is beating iron and refining weapons over there, do you want to go and have a look?" Chu Huaijin asked in a deep voice.
"There's such a fun thing, then I'll call my father and mother to go with me. I haven't seen an iron strike yet! Kapok agreed without thinking about it.
She told Lotus to invite the old lady and the old man to come over.
Chu Huaijin knew that she loved to watch the excitement.
Mrs. Liu and her husband have nothing to do in the house, and they don't like to go out of the house on a cold day.
I heard that when I went to see the iron, the old couple was idle, and they were idle, so I was not interested.
A group of people went to Zhulan Courtyard to see the iron, Zhulan Courtyard is an idle yard, quite big, usually do some work will come to Zhulan Courtyard.
I saw that the black coal piled up like a hill in Zhulan Courtyard was the kind of black coal that was mined.
This black coal can only be used to make iron and make weapons.
The black coal was blazing in the courtyard, and the blacksmith was roasting iron over the burning fire.
Iron-roasted red refining weapons.
"Where did the black coal come from? Did you buy it to make iron? Kapok asked curiously with a blink of water.
"This king has mined a coal mine in Beishan, and there is also an iron mine. The iron mined from the iron ore was made by the king, and he ordered people to refine weapons. The princess of these two mines is not needed, and this king will not tell you. Chu Huaijin replied.
He thought that the princess would not be interested in iron ore and coal mines.
Kapok's eyes brightened after hearing this, and he looked at the third master with a sparkle. This is a real-life person who has a mine at home. In modern times, with the private property in the name of the third master, that is the domineering president.
"The third master's coal can also be used for heating, and the effect is no worse than golden charcoal. It's much cheaper than golden silk charcoal, and even ordinary people can afford it. "Kapok thinks of modern coal. But the main force of heating.
"Cotton cotton does not know that bituminous coal can only be burned outside, and burning it in the house will make people dizzy and poisoned, and it will be vomiting at least and dying at worst. Even if coal is worthless, no one will buy it for heating. Chu Huaijin patiently explained, without a trace of impatience.
In the past, there were cases where people bought coal and burned it in their houses, causing the death of all three members of the family.
When Kapok heard this, she remembered that she had forgotten that there was no technology for bituminous coal to be processed into anthracite and honeycomb coal again in the Great Chu Kingdom. After realizing this, she blessed her soul and had a bold idea, pulling the third master next to her and speaking softly, "Third master, I happen to have a book here, which records how bituminous coal is made into anthracite and honeycomb coal."
Bituminous coal is burned in an unventilated house to produce carbon monoxide gas, a toxic gas that can kill people. The method I mentioned can be reprocessed into anthracite, honeycomb coal.
In this way, even if it is not burned in an unventilated place, it will not release a large amount of carbon monoxide and will not poison people. ”
Chu Huaijin has always known that his princess is not ordinary, and she always has a lot of ideas. And it's all beneficial.
If this can be said by the princess, it will be a great thing for the benefit of the people.
"King Mianmian will accompany you back to take out this book, this king wants to see it." There was a look of expectation in Chu Huaijin's eyes.
