"Brother Yi'er, you don't want to dig up charcoal to burn, right?"

Hearing Yun Yi say this, the expressions of the two cousins suddenly became anxious.

Immediately afterwards, before Yun Yi could explain, they had already hurriedly put down the wine bowl and explained the dangers of coal with a serious expression.

"Brother Yi, don't you dare to touch that thing!"

"Everyone knows that charcoal can be burned, but do you know why people would rather chop wood than dig charcoal to burn?"

"That's because of the charcoal thing, which burns with poisonous smoke."

"If it is burned in an open place, if it is burned in the house, it will not take long for the people in the house to be poisoned and unconscious, and once poisoned, it will be difficult for the gods to save it!"

……

Seeing that the two people in front of each other looked nervous, spitting everywhere, Yun Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Coal is something that does produce a lot of carbon monoxide if it doesn't burn well.

In fact, not only in this era, but even in previous lives, there were not a few people who were poisoned by carbon monoxide.

However, the problem of toxic smoke is actually very easy to solve.

First of all, the excavated coal is thoroughly washed with water.

In this way, some of the toxic gases contained in the coal can be washed away.

In addition, when coal is burned, the main reason why carbon monoxide is produced is insufficient combustion.

The easiest way to make the coal fully burn is to add yellow cement and make the coal into honeycomb coal with combustion holes.

Carbon monoxide poisoning can be avoided by simply putting honeycomb coal into a stove with a chimney and burning it.

In addition, in the previous life, those who were poisoned by burning coal were nine times out of ten because the airtightness of the room was too good.

But this problem, in today's Great Zhou Dynasty, there is no need to worry about it at all.

After all, most of the houses in this era were adobe houses and brick houses, and since there was no such thing as glass, the airtightness could not be compared with the previous life.

Just when Yunyi was excited to think of something like coal.

Uncle Yun Hai's words were like a basin of cold water, which directly made his good mood sink to the bottom in an instant.

"Brother Yi'er, don't say that the charcoal is poisonous when burned, even if it is not poisonous, that place in Xishan is also the property of Zhou Yuan's foreign family."

"Although the West Hill is almost barren land, and there are no crops at all."

"But since the ancestral grave of Zhou Yuanwai's family is near Xishan, even if the charcoal in Xishan can be sold for money, it is estimated that they will never let you dig it."

"After all, the hat that disturbed his ancestors of the Zhou family was buttoned down, even if the lawsuit hit the county government, they would also occupy a reason."

Everyone in the village knows the quarrel between Yunyi and Zhou Yuanwai's family.

Uncle Yun Hai was worried that Yun Yi's scholar would be angry, and if he had to let those poor people dig coal to burn, he would accidentally cause death.

So when he saw that Yun Yi didn't listen to their words in his heart, he simply told Yun Yi about the situation in Xishan directly.

In his opinion, after Yunyi learned about the situation in Xishan, he should have dispelled the idea of digging coal.

It's just that what he didn't know was that when he thought of coal, Yun Yi had already made up his mind to do this well.

Although coal contains huge benefits, in Yunyi's opinion, as long as the government can be pulled into it, and he has Zhuang Jing'an as a backer, even if this business will cause others to be jealous, it will not be unsustainable.

Moreover, there was no patent law in this era, no matter how strong he Yunyi was, it was impossible for him to monopolize the coal mines of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Moreover, as long as honeycomb coal and stoves appear on the market, they will definitely fly quickly throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty like wings.

So from beginning to end, Yunyi's main purpose is to save as many lives as possible.

As for making money, it's just relying on the opportunity to make more money in the early stage.

Of course, in addition to the above benefits, the most important thing is to earn a good reputation for Yunyi.

After all, he is cooperating with the government in this matter, and his name will definitely reach the heavens when the time comes.

Although his current goal is still to be a small landowner.

But if you can increase your weight in the eyes of the emperor, you will be much more stable in the future in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Although he could not monopolize the coal of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the royal family had various ways and means.

In this way, it is equivalent to him Yunyi indirectly giving the emperor a big gift.

I believe that by next year, the household department of the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely be much richer.

But when Yun Yi heard that Xishan actually belonged to Zhou Yuanwai's family, his brows still wrinkled unconsciously.

Although he Yunyi didn't take Zhou Yuanwai's family seriously, it was really hard to say about the ancestral tomb.

Not to mention this era, even if you look at the entire history, no one dares to joke about their ancestors.

If the ancestral tomb of the Zhou family is really too close to Xishan, I am afraid that even if he uses the power of the government, he may not be able to get Xishan into his own hands.

This matter, the emperor can't come.

"Uncle Yunhai, how far is the ancestral tomb of the Zhou Yuanwai family from Xishan?"

Although he was unwilling, Yun Yi still asked Uncle Yun Hai.

"You kid, why don't you give up?"

"The ancestral grave of the Yuanwai family that week is only more than two miles away from Xishan."

"If you want to dig for coal in the West Mountain, you must ......"

"The distance of two miles is enough, I thought his family's ancestral tomb was on the edge of the West Mountain!"

Hearing Yun Haishu say this, Yun Yi, who was originally depressed, immediately interrupted his words excitedly.

Although the distance of two miles is not far, digging from the other side of the mountain will not affect the ancestral grave of Zhou Yuanwai's family at all.

Thinking of this, Yun Yidang took a big sip of wine excitedly.

"Brother Yi, you must not be reckless!"

"Now that the county test is imminent, you can't get into a lawsuit at this time!"

Seeing that the two of them had been talking for a long time, Yun Yi didn't listen to a word at all, and the two cousins immediately stood up anxiously.

"Uncle Cousin, Uncle Yunhai, don't worry!"

"Even if you ask me to do this now, I can't do it alone."

"Tomorrow I will go to Linjiang County first and find my teacher Zhuang Jing'an."

"Whether this thing can be done or not depends on his old man's attitude in the end."

Yun Yi said, and helped the two cousins to sit down.

In fact, Yun Yi said that he was going to find Zhuang Jing'an, but it was just a pretext.

If Xishan is a barren mountain, he can ask Zhuang Jing'an to help contact the county government to get the property rights.

But now that Xishan is in the hands of Zhou Yuanwai, if you want to get the title deed of Xishan, you have to use some commercial means.

Yun Yi has already made up his mind, and when he enters the city tomorrow, he will go to discuss with Wan Fatzi to see if he can get Xishan through his channels first.

If he couldn't get his hands on Nishiyama, this matter wouldn't work the way he wanted.

Even if there were honeycomb coal and stoves, the benefits to the poor would be limited.

"This ...... That's fine! ”

Hearing Yun Yi say that he was going to find his teacher, Uncle Tang and Yun Haishu were a lot more relieved.

After all, Mr. Zhuang Jing'an is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, and he must be more insightful than them in these things.

In addition, he is Yunyi's teacher, I believe that he will definitely be able to persuade Yunyi not to do such a stupid thing.

After sending Uncle Tang and the others away, Yun Yi first had lunch around the charcoal basin, and then went to the study to draw drawings of stoves, chimneys, and honeycomb coal making tools.

Although the matter of Xishan has not yet been completed, the preliminary preparations cannot be delayed.

Even if he really couldn't take Xishan, he decided to make these things public.

As long as the people know how to make honeycomb coal, they really don't believe that his Zhou family can guard Xishan.
