Mo Lan pondered for a moment, then carefully recounted everything she could think of these past few days to the two of them. "If there's anything you need to add, just let me know. This is a big matter, and I can't think of everything on my own."
“Sister, we have many mountains and little water here, and flat land is also rare. For storage, I suggest digging a cave in the mountain, which is more convenient than building a house.”
The caves are all existing, and there are several empty ones on the back mountain. If they are not big enough, we can carve more. As for the cable car, that is the key point.
"What is that zipline my sister mentioned? Does it really mean we don't need to check our luggage with it?"
"Yes, if it is used smoothly, it can indeed free up some labor. I am still planning the specifics and can't see the results yet. We'll talk about it later."
Seeing the curious looks on their faces, Mo Lan could only show them the blueprints. Without a finished product, the blueprints were just a blur to them.
“Before the cableway is built, Father needs to gather the villagers and have them take turns going up the mountain. Some will transport coal, others will carve into the mountain. We need to use the coal first. Also, Brother, you need to think carefully about the confidentiality agreement. Give them a verbal warning first, let them know what's going on, and don't let them easily leak it. Fortunately, the villagers aren't going down the mountain, so there aren't any major safety issues for now.”
People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat. Once they achieve something, even if it gets out, their military strength can keep up, and ordinary people won't dare to provoke them easily.
"That's easy. Leave it to my elder brother. As for arranging the personnel, leave it to Father."
The coal mining project was decided, and the priority was to solve the heating problem in Qinglongzhai before winter arrived.
The father and his two daughters divided the work and each took on their respective roles, and immediately got busy.
It's unclear how the father and son mobilized everyone in the village, but the entire village was somehow coaxed into action.
Everyone put in their best effort for the good life promised by the village chief, and surprisingly, not a single person complained.
In the past, the village was bustling with people every day, but now, apart from a few toddlers, you can't see a single person.
Half a month later, the镖局 (escort agency) delivered the coal stove made by Tie Niu to the mountain stronghold. Mo Lan then demonstrated the benefits and effects of the coal stove in front of everyone.
Seeing the actual coal made everyone even more motivated. They figured they had to chop firewood anyway, and with these coal briquettes, the firewood could be retired.
Taking advantage of everyone's high spirits, Hua Yifei immediately spoke up, "Brothers, as long as you work hard, each room can get a coal stove in the winter, and you can use coal briquettes as much as you want. In addition, we can sell the coal briquettes to exchange for silver to buy food, and our lives will get better and better from now on."
"Alright, we'll listen to the chief and try to make our lives better."
Amid cheers from the crowd, Mo Lan had several large coal stoves delivered to the kitchen, installed ventilation pipes to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, and strictly forbade the use of damp coal briquettes.
Hearing that coal briquettes could cause poisoning, everyone was very cautious. However, after using them for a while, they finally discovered the benefits of coal briquettes. As long as they are properly managed, there is no need to worry about extinguishing fires.
No more worrying about the firewood getting wet in the rain and not being able to light it.
During this time, Molan also noticed that Karen often went down the mountain, and sometimes he could not be seen for several days in a row, so he knew that Karen was not far away.
That morning, as Mo Lan was pondering how to improve the blueprints, Karen knocked on the door with a smile and came in, "Little Lan, I'm leaving. I came here specifically to say goodbye."
