Finally, Jiang Ling said something to the people in the villa and left the northern border with An San.
I originally wanted to not bring anyone with me, but An San followed me wherever I went.
He also said: Even if the master doesn't lead him, he will follow behind. This is his duty as a subordinate.
Jiang Ling had no choice but to bring him along. He couldn't scold or beat these annoying little secret guards.
Each of them is very cute and obedient. After a year of getting along with them, they are like a family. He will dote on his brothers as much as possible.
Who doesn’t like someone who works hard, is obedient and reliable, loyal and responsible?
So, Jiang Ling asked Chen Lei to roast more than a dozen roast ducks, roast chickens and other food for him. After putting them into the space, the two of them drove away from Northern Border City in a carriage.
The speed along the way was neither fast nor slow. He also passed by the fields planted by his own family. Looking at the green and vibrant seedlings, Jiang Ling felt indescribably satisfied.
Maybe when he comes back, the scenery will be even more beautiful.
Holding the blueprint drawn by Yue Qianli in their hands, Jiang Ling and his companions moved forward.
When they were hungry, they ate the boxed lunches prepared by Chen Lei for them. Just like the rice topped with toppings that modern people eat, one meat, one vegetable and rice were packed separately in the box. It was very convenient and delicious.
After dinner, they rested in the carriage for half an hour and then continued on their journey.
In this way, we walked for about ten days without encountering a single person along the way.
They came to a place specially marked by Yue Qianli.
Black stone...
Sure enough, there was a valley not far from the road that was completely bare, with no grass growing at all.
There are some black stones mixed in the yellow rocks.
From a distance, it is a unique scenery.
The carriage stopped and Jiang Ling jumped out.
He walked into the valley, bent down, reached out to pick up a black stone, and squeezed it in his hand.
My hand instantly became pitch black, and my guess was almost right.
Oh my god!
This is a blessing for the people of the North.
Coal mines……
With this, what's so scary about winter?
Isn’t honeycomb coal fragrant?
There is no need to cut down trees indiscriminately. Just let the plants grow well. Wouldn’t it be nice to beautify the environment?
Moreover, the heat and duration of coal burning are several times that of wood, and it can even be used for forging iron and refining weapons.
Jiang Ling walked into the valley with satisfaction. The further he went into, the wider the bare area became. Not even a single weed could be seen.
This is open air, so it is very convenient to dig.
When the time comes, I will transport it back and ask Gu Chenfeng’s family’s blacksmith to make some honeycomb coal tools.
Although he didn't know the specific production formula, he knew the style and general idea, such as mixing water and soil together and then solidifying it with tools.
He believed that as long as he gave a general idea, the ancients would figure it out quickly, and the wisdom of the ancients should never be underestimated.
Of course, in addition to honeycomb coal, you can also make simple coal cakes, which can also be used.
Looking at the entire valley, Jiang Ling scanned it with his spiritual sense and found that this coal mine was really quite large.
In addition to satisfying the needs of the North, they could even launch the North City and sell it to other cities with cold winters. This could be considered a specialty of the North.
It can also be considered as doing something good for the North, so that fewer people will freeze to death in other cold cities in winter.
After watching it, Jiang Ling returned to the carriage with satisfaction and continued on his way.
An San also went to see, and seeing Jiang Ling's satisfied smile, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Master, could that black stone be a good thing?"
Jiang Ling was not surprised at all by An San's question.
The current An San is no longer the An San who couldn't say a word for a long time.
Now he can still speak several sentences a day.
hehe……
"San'er, you finally couldn't help your curiosity. That's good, you've made progress."
Knowing that An San wouldn't explain, he continued.
"There's a coal mine over there. Do you know what coal is?
That's some pretty powerful stuff.
It makes us feel warm as spring in the winter in the north by wearing summer clothes at home.
It is faster to cook than firewood.”
Hearing Jiang Ling's words, An San's eyes suddenly lit up.
Others may not know that among the secret guards, An San is very afraid of the cold. He is already cold, but he didn't expect that his body in winter is even more like a piece of ice. Even if he wears several layers of clothes, he is still cold.
So, when An San heard what Jiang Ling said, he suddenly became interested.
Is there a solution for his winter?
As a result, even the sound of his own voice became excited.
"Master, when are we going to dig it back? I am willing to carry out this mission."
After hearing this, Jiang Ling didn't know why An San was suddenly so interested, but since the secret guards also had their own unique hobbies, he didn't want to ask too much.
Since he is so proactive, it is not impossible to let him take charge.
"After we return to the North, we'll send someone to dig it back. Since you're willing, I'll leave it to you.
However, there are several safety points that must be paid attention to regarding this coal. You must listen carefully and pass it on.
That is, this coal will produce smoke during use. The smoke is toxic and excessive inhalation can cause poisoning and death.
So, when using it, once the coal is burning, it is important to keep the air circulating.”
After listening to this, An San thought for a while and said.
"After it's produced, have Xu Wenzhi write a user manual.
Display it at the place of sale and inform everyone who buys the coal, and give each of them a copy of the instructions for use.
You can even write a rule stating that you will be solely responsible for any accidents caused by improper use of the product after purchase or failure to follow the instructions.
Jiang Ling heard An San slowly finish these two sentences.
Everyone was stunned...
Oh my God, if anyone said that the secret guards were all wooden, he would definitely stand up and express his dissatisfaction.
Their secret guards are more shrewd than each other.
If he wasn't a secret guard, he could definitely do business. He's definitely a profiteer.
Jiang Ling really wanted to give a thumbs up directly, but at this time An San was driving in the front of the carriage.
Even if I gave a like, he couldn’t see it.
So, he said in a tone of great surprise.
"San'er, you are worthy of being the secret guard of the palace. Are you interested in doing business with Shen Yinyun?
I don't think you'll need him to teach you, you'll soon surpass him and even surpass him by a long shot."
Unexpectedly, An San answered seriously.
"No, I have no interest. I just like being the secret guard of my master and lord. That will never change in my life!"
He uttered this sentence word by word.
Jiang Ling listened, why did he feel a little gnashing his teeth?
