This winter is not so sad for the people of Linjiang City.

In the past, when winter came, the people began to worry that winter would not be so easy to pass, and they would not only have to endure severe cold, but also pervasive hunger.

simply has Huang Zhang, even if he is not a citizen of Linjiang City, he does not need to worry about his survival.

Because of the existence of Wuyi Port, there is almost no need to worry about materials and the like, and the people who arrive in Linjiang City, even in this winter, do not worry about work, and now the most lacking thing in Linjiang City is manpower, and there are opportunities to work everywhere.

As for the government's money and the like, Huang Zhang has too many ways to get money, and taxes account for a very small part.

In addition to the money from the last auction of green land and the sale of land developed by the government, Huang Zhang also has a huge income.

I remember that when Huang Zhang was exploring the terrain around Linjiang Town, he found a bare mine in the northeast corner of Linjiang Town.

At that time, due to the lack of professional talents, Huang Zhang's prospecting career was hindered.

And now, the fame of Linjiang City has spread throughout Sunan, and all kinds of professional talents have also poured to Linjiang City.

Among them, there are talents who specialize in prospecting.

With talent, it is natural to explore the vein.

And the first place to explore is the mine in the northeast corner.

Unexpectedly, the prospecting expert handed Huang Zhang a black stone.

The first time he saw this stone, Huang Zhang recognized it.

"Coal!"

That's right, this thing is coal!

However, the expert has his own understanding, "Your Highness, this is a burning stone, which can be burned by fire, except for iron smelting, it has little effect, and Linjiang City lacks iron tools, and it is not as useful as His Highness thinks!" ”

Hearing the words of this expert, Huang Zhang called it vulgar.

It was even said that coal is useless!

Of course, in this era, coal is not a rare thing, but it is generally only used for smelting, and the amount used is not large.

It's normal for them to be useless.

But coincidentally, Huang Zhang knew the purpose of coal and the reason why coal burning was not popularized.

In fact, the reason for this is very simple, the ignition point of coal is very high, and it is not easy to ignite.

First, there was a lack of iron tools in this era, and it was impossible to make coal furnaces from iron.

Coal is generally used to assist in iron-making, because blacksmiths have blowers when striking iron, which can blow air in the furnace and maximize the ignition point of coal, but ordinary people cannot use coal in a forging furnace like blacksmiths.

Naturally, coal, a natural ore, has lost its attention.

However, since Huang Zhang knows the reason why coal is not reused, he naturally knows how to solve this problem.

Huang Zhang made a fireplace out of heat-resistant red bricks in his mansion.

Of course, if you use this fireplace to burn coal, it will definitely not work, and if you use this fireplace to burn coal, I am afraid that you will be poisoned on the same day.

In addition to making the fireplace, Huang Zhang also built an iron-striking blower at the bottom of the fireplace, and then the chimney extended to the back of the house instead of to the roof, so that the ventilation problem was solved.

When burning coal, you only need to pull the blower from time to time to make the coal burn more vigorously.

"Childe, you designed this?" Hu Yi'er looked at the closet in the room and said with a stunned expression.

She had never seen such a thing before, and it was not burned with wood, it was coal that had just been mined by Huang Zhang's faction.

With this closet, the whole room is warm like spring, and the cold outside the room is completely different.

"I'm going to spread this fireplace, what do you think?"

Hu Yi'er looked at the fireplace and said in surprise: "Childe, you are simply a genius!" If you match this fireplace to the children in the school, they will not feel cold in winter. ”

In this regard, Huang Zhang clearly refused.

"No way?" Hu Yier was stunned, not understanding why Huang Zhang did not allow it.

"Let them study to let them know that if they don't work hard, they will have to be cold, not let them fall asleep in a warm classroom, only difficult conditions can make them understand the importance of learning!"

“……”

Although Hu Yier disagreed with Huang Zhang's statement, she had no way to refute it.

For these children, the harsh environment really motivates them to learn.

"Where is the boy going to promote this fireplace?"

"The whole Linjiang City!"

"The whole Linjiang City? Is Childe going to let them install this kind of fireplace in every house? ”

I saw Huang Zhang smile, "More than that!" ”

As he spoke, Huang Zhang took Hu Yier's hand and took her to his bedroom.

Seeing Huang Zhang take himself to his bedroom, and then bring her to his bedside, seeing Huang Zhang's bed, which was twice as big as hers, Hu Yi'er seemed to think of something, and immediately blushed.

Huang Zhang pointed to his bed, "You sit down." ”

Hearing Huang Zhang's words, Hu Yi'er said shyly: "Public...... Childe, I'm ...... I'm not convenient these days! ”

Hearing Hu Yi'er's words, Huang Zhang directly rolled her eyes and knocked her brain.

"What are you thinking, I'll let you sit on it and try it."

Hearing this, Hu Yier sat up suspiciously.

As soon as she sat on the bed, Hu Yier immediately stood up.

"Gong ...... Childe, hot ...... Hot! ”

"Haha." Huang Zhang looked at her expression and movements, and couldn't help but laugh and said, "This is called Kang, how did you feel when you sat down just now?" ”

"Hot, a little hard!" Hu Yier replied.

Huang Zhang sat on the kang very casually, and then pulled a hair dryer next to the kang.

"This kang was built by me with red bricks, look at the bottom."

As he spoke, Huang Zhang opened a small iron door under the kang.

Hu Yi'er looked in from the iron gate, and there was also coal burning inside.

"Childe...... This ......"

Hu Yier didn't know what to say anymore.

She never thought that her son would have such a talent and turn decay into magic.

"With this kang, you don't have to worry about the cold when you sleep in winter. If you feel that the fire is small, pull the blower twice, and you only need to add a little coal, and you can warm up the whole night! ”

"Wow!" Hu Yi'er sat on the kang excitedly.

"Childe, I want it too."

Huang Zhang directly scratched her nose, "What do you want, my kang is so big, isn't it for you?" ”

Hearing this, Hu Yier immediately bowed her head and remained silent.

When it comes to men and women, she is somewhat shy.

Huang Zhang said reluctantly: "In the future, you will come to sleep with me at night, so that you will not be cold and I will not be lonely." ”

Since seeing Shi Yunmeng's body, Huang Zhang's male hormones that have been silent for an unknown amount of time are directly vented, he used to fight in the east and west, busy trying to survive, he didn't have the leisure at all, and now he finally calmed down, but his heart couldn't calm down.

"Hmm." Hu Yi'er also nodded obediently.

In fact, she had wanted to be with Huang Zhang for a long time, but Huang Zhang seemed to be very busy in the past, and she didn't have any thoughts about this at all, but now that Huang Zhang took the initiative to bring it up, Hu Yier was naturally happy.

In Hu Yier's heart, she has long belonged to her own son-in-law, and when they are together, it is naturally the son-in-law who has the final say.

The words that Huang Zhang said to her in the compulsory school last time made Hu Yi'er feel calm for a long time, but apart from those words that day, Huang Zhang didn't do anything else, which made her a little disappointed.

I hope this time, Childe won't let her down!

After solving the problem of using the coal mine, Huang Zhang immediately sent people to mine.

As for the mined coal, Huang Zhang sold it at a very low price in Linjiang City.

At first, the people were still a little puzzled, will the burning stone? Some short-sighted farmers have never heard of it.

Even if they knew, they were just some craftsmen who made iron, and no one paid attention to them at all.

It wasn't until the coal was mined that Huang Zhang promoted the use of the renovated fireplace and kang to all government institutions in Linjiang City.

In addition, Huang Zhang also made a slogan, anyone who buys more than 300 catties of coal will be funded by the government to help build a fireplace for free.

As for the kang thing, since it needs an iron piece to isolate the fire, it is naturally impossible to be free.

But the way to build a kang and a fireplace, Huang Zhang taught it at the first time.

All of a sudden, every household began to repair the fireplace, and those who had the conditions could afford to repair the kang.

After Huang Zhang and all the government agencies began to promote coal burning, coal burning became popular in winter.

Even the eldest prince burns it, and they burn it with them, isn't it fashionable.

Huang Zhang also sent Zhu Tun to explain the details of coal burning, such as coal must not be burned in a closed room, and must be ventilated, otherwise there will be life danger.

There are also burnt cinders that can be used to build soil.

In short, in the eyes of this group of people, because of the coal, this winter is no longer so cold.

In addition, the price of coal sold by Huangzhang is extremely low, and the people of the entire Linjiang City can afford it.

When the people of several major chambers of commerce saw that coal was so profitable, they all wanted to get some business rights out of it.

It's just a pity that Huang Zhang didn't plan to share this cake with everyone.

Now Linjiang City is asking for money everywhere, and finally there is a monopoly business to share the soup for the five major chambers of commerce? Think beautifully!

Don't look at the cheap coal sold, five catties is only a copper, but the small profits are quick turnover, and the ore just mined from the coal mountain is sold out in a blink of an eye.

This coal sale became the start-up capital of Liu Hanhan's cold wind camp.

With money, coupled with the twentieth rank military merit system that Huang Zhang said to Liu Han before, it is not too easy for the Cold Wind Camp to recruit people.

In just two months, the Coldwind Camp expanded to 30,000 people, more than double the previous number.

The total population of the entire Linjiang City is only about 100,000 now, and the number of soldiers recruited alone is 30,000, which is terrifying.

Of course, more than 100,000 people include homeless, and almost all the homeless people on the ninth floor have gone to join the army.

There is no way, the acquisition of Linjiang City's nationality is too harsh, don't look at the many ways to obtain, but for these displaced people, none of them are beyond the reach of the dust, if you want your children, your own mother-in-law, and your old mother to live well in Linjiang City, joining the army is almost the only way.

If one of the family members joins the army, the whole family can obtain civil registration, the children can enter the Linjiang City Compulsory School, and the old mother can live in a nursing home.

If she dies in battle, her wife can also receive a subsidy from Linjiang City.

There are no worries at all, after this series of policies, anyone is willing to join the army.
