Liu Hong shook his head. "Probably not!"
Upon hearing Liu Hong's words, a hint of disappointment appeared on everyone's faces.
Since no one has ever used coal, its value cannot be determined. Moreover, the area belongs to the territory of the Xiongnu and Wuhuan people. Sending people to search for it before its value is certain would not be easy.
Liu Hong then continued, "However, I have already sent a message to Yang Biao, the governor of Liaoxi, instructing him to search in secret. As for whether it is as recorded in the ancient books, we will have to wait a while!"
Li Ying suddenly stood up, bowed to Liu Hong, and then said respectfully:
"Your Majesty! I believe that in addition to Yang Biao, we should also send an order to Huangfu Song to search for information about coal within the Wuhuan territory! As for Bingzhou, we should not make any moves for the time being, lest the Xiongnu discover our secrets!"
Liu Hong nodded and said slowly, "That's excellent! With Huangpu Song and five thousand soldiers, the search will be much easier!"
Everyone nodded in agreement; until the effectiveness of coal was confirmed, they had no choice but to wait and see.

Liu Hong would carefully inquire about each official's memorial and offer his own insights, which earned him repeated nods of approval from the officials.

"Speak if you have something to say; otherwise, the court is adjourned!"
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
As soon as Zhang Rang finished speaking, Cao Song hurriedly stood up and bowed to Liu Hong.
