Assistant: "Hey, Director Ruan, all the charcoal you asked me to buy has been delivered."
"By the way, those military coats might take a while. The factory is quite far away, so they don't have many on hand. They're all leftovers from last year, so there are only 5,000 of them. Including ours, that's a total of 5,300."
"Okay, Uncle Ruanruan knows. Ruanruan will tell uncle." Ruanruan's childish voice suddenly sounded.
"My uncle is sleeping now, so it's not convenient for him to answer the phone."
Assistant: "Okay then, remember to tell Director Ruan."
"Okay, bye, uncle." After answering the call, Ruanruan put the phone on her uncle's bedside table.
She walked around to the other side of the bed and reached out to pull off the quilt covering Ruan Jingye's head. "Uncle, you'll feel suffocated if you sleep like this!"
Ruan Jingye drank a little wine at noon and was sleeping very soundly at this moment. He turned over, hugged the pillow and continued to sleep.
"Uncle, since you are still sleeping, I will go and give the charcoal to my younger brother." Ruanruan stared at Ruan Jingye and had an idea.
"Don't blame Ruanruan when you wake up. It's your uncle who can't get up."
Ruanruan thought about it, ran to her room, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and wrote crookedly on it.
"Uncle, Tan is here, and Ruanruan is out. Don't worry, I'll ask the driver to accompany me. Ruanruan has informed you this time, so don't worry about me.
She didn't know how to write charcoal characters, so she just drew a piece of wood on it, and the other characters looked like dog crawling.
Ruanruan placed the paper on the bedside table and held it down with a pencil.
After doing all this, she trotted back to her bedroom, changed her clothes, took her small schoolbag, picked up the vase on the bed, and walked downstairs step by step.
She called the driver from her home phone and asked him to pick her up.
After arriving at the villa, Ruanruan remembered her uncle's instructions and asked the driver to wait for her outside the yard.
Ruanruan looked at the yard, which was filled with bags of charcoal and boxes of military coats. She put the vase on the ground.
"Little brother?" She squatted down, touched the vase, and said in a baby voice.
Zhao Chengqian's voice came from the other side, "Ruanruan?"
"Brother Xiaogan, I asked my uncle to buy a lot of charcoal and military coats. Find a place to put them. Ruanruan can ask Pingping to deliver the things over there."
Zhao Chengqian glanced at Prince Jin and handed him the vase as before. Prince Jin carried the vase into the yard.
Prince Jin informed Ruanruan, and soon the vase began to emit a faint light.
In the open space not far away, there were suddenly more doors, and large green bags filled with bags of charcoal piled up like mountains.
There were also military coats wrapped in cardboard boxes.
Ying Qi stepped forward and cut open the green bag with a dagger, revealing the charcoal with black crickets inside.
"Your Highness, these charcoals are a little different from the ones we have." He wrapped a piece of charcoal in a handkerchief and presented it to Prince Jin.
The charcoal is cut very evenly, and from the core to the surface, you can see that the firing quality is very high and pure.
"These look more like refined white charcoal!"
The charcoal in Dagan is of poor quality and in limited quantities.
However, white charcoal is expensive and only merchants and officials use it.
Silver bone charcoal is only used by the royal family.
The charcoal they use now is black charcoal, which produces a lot of smoke when burned. Moreover, the black charcoal is not completely refined and has residual tar inside.
The weather was cold and the people in the city were waiting to use charcoal. Their method of making charcoal was very simple. They just burned it in the open air without worrying about anything else.
Occasionally there would be some well-burned charcoal in it, all of which were supplied to the prefectural governor's mansion first. However, the quantity was very small, and the prince's study only used it occasionally.
Sometimes the prince was so suffocated by the smoke that he couldn't sit in the study and had to wait until the charcoal was completely burned before going in.
"Great! With this charcoal, we can solve the heating problem for many people in the city."
"The little immortal is truly powerful. He gifted us so much of this expensive white charcoal."
Zhao Chengqian stared at the charcoal and couldn't help but smile, "This way, the people in the temple won't have to suffer from the cold."
Father doesn't have to play chess outside all the time...
Prince Jin tightly grasped the jade beads in his hand and said with emotion, "The charcoal sent by Ruanruan came at the perfect time!"
I was just worried about the lack of charcoal.
Who knew that Ruanruan seemed to know what he was thinking.
Send charcoal over immediately!
Ying Qi used a dagger to cut open the cardboard box, took out a thick military coat from it, and rubbed his sleeves.
He exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty, this dress is very thick!"
"It's thicker than the clothes we have in the military, and it's very convenient. The sleeves aren't too long, so they fit just right."
"Try it on." Prince Jin raised his voice with a dry smile on his face.
Ying Qi put down the dagger in his hand and put on the military coat. He tugged at the collar and said, "Your Highness, the style of this coat is a little different from ours."
The military coat fit Yingqi perfectly. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and there was a circle of bristles at the collar, which made him look very warm.
"Your Highness, this clothing is windproof and very warm." After Ying Qi put it on, he felt like he was wrapped in a thick quilt, but it was not heavy and it was very convenient to move.
"If we give it to the soldiers to wear, it will effectively solve the problem of cold weather during winter training!"
The King of Jin stared at something not far away and said, "Ying Qi, call someone over here and distribute some of this charcoal to the military camp, temples, and villas. We'll keep a thousand of these military coats for ourselves, and give the rest to the military camp."
Ying Qi stepped back and went to call for help.
