Chapter 283 Black Charcoal, the Emperor is Angry
After leaving the academy, Shen Xiangwan took No. 3 out of the space under the pretext of going out. He would then personally teach those people surgical skills. Although he was not a human, no one should be able to tell unless they looked closely. Moreover, apart from teaching those people, she did not plan to let him come into contact with more people.
That afternoon, two small tiled houses next to the main house were cleared out. One was used for teaching, and the other was temporarily occupied by No. 3. He would stay outside for a while before teaching those people medical skills.
"He's number three. From today on, he will teach you surgical skills."
The next day, Shen Xiangwan got up early and personally introduced No. 3 to the rest of the people.
"yes."
No one dared to object, and they all bowed in unison. Shen Xiangwan glanced at them one by one and had someone hand out the printed booklet to them. "This contains all the medical knowledge related to surgery. Read it when you have time. There will be exams on the third of every month, and I will also randomly test you. Whether you can stay until the end depends on your willingness to work hard."
"yes."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes uncontrollably looked at the booklets distributed to them, secretly warning themselves that they must work harder next time, otherwise, they might be the ones sent back to the dental clinic one day.
"Number three, I leave it to you."
Retracting her gaze from them, Shen Xiangwan nodded to Number Three. A loud drum doesn't need a heavy hammer, and she believed that they were not stupid.
"Yes, Master."
With one hand across his abdomen, number three is just like number one, gentlemanly and respectful.
"Um."
Shen Xiangwan looked at the medical children again before leaving with Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying. Number Three clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention to himself before he began to teach them. He did not teach them medical skills right away, but first explained to them what surgical skills were, and then slowly guided them into the field of surgical knowledge.
"What is this pulling?"
As soon as Shen Xiangwan and the others stepped out of the classroom, they saw Yuan Zhengzheng directing more than a dozen carriages to the backyard. Each carriage was carrying a mountain of sacks, and they looked pitch black, so there was no way they could be food or anything.
"lady."
Turning around and seeing her, Yuan Xiu quickly smiled and said, "It's black charcoal. Didn't you tell the Second Master and the others about the smelting technology that black charcoal can make the furnace temperature higher and more stable? We've collected a lot of black charcoal in the past few months. I thought it would be better for burning glass than charcoal, so I had more than a dozen carts sent over."
Their glass business was getting bigger and bigger. The caravans would buy in large quantities every month. Under Cheng Yusheng's control, they also sold a lot of it domestically. The money flowed into their pockets like water. If the expenses for the development of the army and people's livelihood were not so high, they would have been sitting on a mountain of gold and silver long ago.
"Did you collect a lot of black charcoal?"
As Shen Xiangwan asked, she walked forward and opened one of the sacks, and took out a palm-sized piece of black charcoal, or coal, from it. She had just written it casually at the time, but she didn't expect that they actually found it, and it seemed that there was quite a lot of it.
"A lot indeed."
Nodding, Yuan Xiu continued, "We've found several black charcoal mines in Da'an County, all open-air. We've collected an inexhaustible amount without much digging. Unfortunately, the smoke from burning this stuff is poisonous, so it can only be used for smelting. If it could be used in daily life, so many people wouldn't freeze to death in winter."
"Who told you that black charcoal can't be used in daily life?"
Raising an eyebrow at him, Shen Xiangwan put the coal back and continued while wiping his hands: "Not all black charcoal produces smoke. There is also smokeless charcoal. And, even if there is smoke, so what? As long as it is used with the appropriate stove, black charcoal can completely replace charcoal."
The role of coal is far greater than they could have imagined.
"real?"
If this is the case, they will have to pay attention to the mining of black charcoal.
While Yuan Xiu was seeking confirmation, he was already thinking about how to increase the efforts in charcoal mining.
"I'll first sort out the information related to Black Charcoal, and then draw a few blueprints of the stove. I'll have Yuanyue and the others give them to you later."
Anything that benefits the people is an opportunity for them to win over their hearts. Shen Xiangwan naturally won't miss it. Don't blame her for being calculating in everything she does. There is no conflict between benefiting the people and winning over their hearts, right?
"good."
Yuan Xiu nodded with a smile on his face. They had tried it and found that black charcoal was much easier to use than charcoal and was very durable. If the problem of toxic smoke could be solved, it would definitely benefit the people. It would not be impossible to directly replace charcoal with black charcoal in the future.
"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'm going back."
Without disturbing him any longer, Shen Xiangwan turned around and took Yuanyue and Yuanying into the yard. The weather in October was already a bit chilly. Zhao Yuping and others were gathered in the main room to help them make winter clothes. Shen Xiangwan didn't understand anything and didn't join in the fun. She gave Yuanying and the others a few words and went back to her room alone. She wanted to find No. 1 to sort out the information about coal.
Imperial city, imperial palace.
"bump!"
The emperor, wearing a dragon robe, slammed the dragon table with his hand. The eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting on the side all knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Get out, all of you, get out of here!"
Pointing his finger at the door, the emperor shouted sternly. He was not a good-tempered king, especially when he was angry, he looked particularly terrifying. The eunuchs and palace maids were so scared that they trembled and almost stumbled out.
"Are you sure that everything said here is true?"
When only he and Xu Hui were left in the imperial study, the emperor picked up the letter he had just received. It blatantly claimed that Wei Chengyi had seized control of Chenzhou's military and was actively recruiting soldiers, potentially plotting a rebellion. How could this be possible? Were the commander and prefect of Chenzhou completely incompetent? How could they allow an exile to control military power?
"This was sent back by Elder Hu and the others. It should be true."
Xu Hui raised his head to look at him and replied stiffly, not to mention the emperor, he was also shocked when he saw the content above, and he couldn't believe it at all. In just a few months, Wei Chengyi had already taken control of the military power of Chenzhou, and was preparing to expand them to a scale of more than 100,000 people again. The most important thing is that they had only received the news until now. Wei Chengyi's ability was too terrifying. No wonder the emperor was determined to kill him at all costs.
"bump!"
The emperor slammed his fist down on the dragon table again, his well-maintained face twisted and gloomy. Why, why had he let him go so easily? Otherwise, how could he have grown to the point where even he couldn't easily shake him?
