After the Wu family’s affairs were settled, peace returned to the county.

Mo Qingling sent the wooden box to the capital at full speed.

As for how to deal with it, it is none of his business.

Then he announced publicly that he had found an iron ore mine and recruited people to open the mine.

He also had the iron smelting recipe given by the emperor, and the Ministry of Works also sent two people to assist him.

Soon, an iron smelting workshop was built.

Shi Qingluo was wearing a sweater and a plush cape that her husband had specially asked someone to make in the city, but she still felt cold.

She found that braziers were used here.

Using ordinary carbon will produce loud fireworks and be choking.

You have to use silver wire charcoal to avoid this problem, but a brazier will still be cold.

Putting in a few more braziers would be too expensive.

She held the hand warmer and squeezed on the sofa with Xiao Hanzheng, "Old Xiao, let's go find Mo Qingling to get some iron."

Xiao Hanzheng looked away from the book and asked, "What are you doing with iron?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "Build an iron coal stove. The weather is getting colder and colder, so a brazier is not as practical as a coal stove."

Nowadays there are also coal stoves that burn charcoal, which are made of mud or bricks in the kitchen.

There are neither iron coal stoves nor honeycomb coal yet.

She added: "When the time comes, we can make some honeycomb coal. The cost will be much cheaper than silver carbon."

"Let's build an iron stove like a table. You can put your book on the table when you read. Not only will your whole body be warm, but your hands will also be warm."

"We also need a kitchen. We can eat on the stove. The food will be kept hot and won't get cold all of a sudden."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should get out the iron coal stove and honeycomb coal.

It not only brings convenience to themselves, but also benefits the people.

Xiao Hanzheng knew that his young wife was afraid of the cold, and seeing the sparkle in her eyes, he put down the book and said with a smile: "Okay, then let's go find Mo Qingling now."

He was used to such a winter, but his young wife was obviously not used to it.

What else can I do? I can only pamper her.

Shi Qingluo gave him a big kiss on the cheek, "You're the best!"

The two went to the county town, where Mo Qingling was handling official business.

There was a brazier under the desk. He was wearing a woolen sweater given by Xiao Hanzheng and woolen gloves on his hands.

My body and hands are much warmer than in previous years.

When he heard that the two people were coming to visit, he put aside his official duties to receive them.

After sitting down and drinking a cup of hot tea, Shi Qingluo stated his purpose directly.

When Mo Qingling heard that she wanted to use iron to make an iron coal stove, he agreed readily.

He decided to be a good guy to the end, "We have quite a few blacksmiths in our iron smelting workshop. You can draw a blueprint of the iron coal furnace you want to build, and I will have someone build it for you."

Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your help then."

“I’ll draw now.”

So Mo Qingling asked someone to prepare paper and pen, and Shi Qingluo drew the square table and iron coal stove that he wanted.

She is a waste metal.

She handed the blueprint to Mo Qingling and asked, "I want to make a few more. Can I buy the iron?"

Mo Qingling laughed, "No need. You offered the iron smelting recipe. After the Ministry of Industry refined it, they found that this method can double the amount of iron produced compared to the previous method, and the iron is harder and tougher."

"Making a few iron stoves is nothing compared to your contribution."

The weapons they made with the newly refined iron were twice as hard as the previous iron. The refined swords could even cut off the swords made from the previous iron.

This made them all very excited. As soon as they reported it to the emperor, they believed that he would also be happy and excited.

This is all thanks to Shi Qingluo's iron prescription.

Shi Qingluo saw that he was serious and didn't act pretentiously, "Okay, thank you very much!"

After reading the blueprint, Mo Qingling sighed, "This kind of iron furnace requires too much iron. Otherwise, if it is easy to use and saves coal, it can be promoted."

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "This is what I wanted to build."

"You can also carry it around with you. If you don't have a chimney, you can just open the window frequently for ventilation."

"Using honeycomb briquettes saves coal and is more durable."

Mo Qingling was ready to quickly build the iron coal furnace that Shi Qingluo had mentioned. "Okay, I'll do as you said and have the people in the workshop build it and give it a try."

He asked again: "How to make honeycomb briquettes?"

Shi Qingluo replied: "The key is to make a mold for pressing honeycomb coal."

She drew the mold for making honeycomb briquettes on paper and wrote down the method of making honeycomb briquettes on the paper.

"Just follow this."

Let Mo Qingling do it, it will be much more efficient.

She just waits and reaps the benefits.

After the Chinese New Year, she would accompany her husband to the provincial capital and the capital for examinations, and she had no intention of opening a workshop of her own.

Moreover, the government now has strict control over iron, and a large amount of iron is needed to build an iron furnace.

Even if Mo Qingling agreed to provide it, after they left Xiaxixi Village, if someone took advantage of the situation, or deliberately set a trap and allowed the people in the workshop to secretly take the iron to make weapons or something, it would be a big trouble.

Therefore, this kind of business is more suitable for government officials.

Mo Qingling put away the paper and said with a smile: "When the iron stove and honeycomb coal are ready, I will ask someone to call you over to see it."

Shi Qingluo nodded, "Thank you!"

Mo Qingling thought of a question, "By the way, please sell me some of the sweaters, trousers and socks from your wool workshop."

He wanted to buy some to give to his grandparents and others.

As for the relatives in the Marquis' Mansion, forget it. From his grandmother to his father, they only have face for him.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "No problem, are you going to transport it to the capital?"

Mo Qingling nodded, "Yeah."

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "Could you help me transport some to the capital? I was planning to find a caravan these two days. If you want to transport it, I'll ask for your help."

The wool workshop had only been open for a short time, and the sweaters and trousers knitted there before were not very refined.

So Shi Qingluo was not in a hurry to send him to the capital.

Now the female workers have mastered the art and can even weave different patterns based on what she says.

In addition, Shi Qingluo also gave a lot of extra sets to Xi Rong and others, so it delayed some time.

I had originally been thinking of heading into the county town today, and asking if there were any caravans heading to Beijing recently.

Mo Qingling came right to the door.

Mo Qingling laughed: "No problem."

"But I might be delayed here."

He shook the paper in his hand and said, "I plan to make some honeycomb coal and iron coal furnaces and send them to Beijing after they are manufactured."

Naturally, there was one for the emperor, and he also wanted to prepare one for the empress, the prince, his grandmother and others.

Although the thing that Shi Qingluo gave has not been made yet, he thinks it will not be bad.

Hearing him say this, Shi Qingluo's eyes lit up, "Then I will also make a dozen iron coal furnaces to give away, and you can help transport them when the time comes."

It just so happened that she also wanted to give Xi Rong and the others an iron coal stove.

This kind of table stove has an air outlet sealed, so the honeycomb coal will not burn so quickly and will not be too hot. It is perfect for playing mahjong on it and keeps your hands and feet warm.

"How about exchanging these papers in your hand?"

Even if you give him money, Mo Qingling probably won't take it.

Anyway, her family couldn't afford to open such a workshop, so she might as well do a favor and exchange the recipe.

The emperor can also keep a note of it, which is quite a good deal.

Mo Qingling nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll explain it in the memorial."

This thing must be made known to the emperor, in a clear way.

Sorry, I forgot to set the alarm last night, and I woke up at almost 11 this morning, so this update is late~ The rest will be around 16:30~ 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
