When the man who went to get the coal didn't come, the best blacksmith came. At first glance, it was clear that he had never done anything else except manual labor in his life. His face was dusty and his eyes were dull. Such a person turned out to be

Our great scientist, Ye Tan couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"Do you know how to make this? How long will it take?" Ye Tan drew a model of a stove, a kettle, and a tool for making briquettes. In fact, they are all very simple, but he obviously underestimated the ideas of our ancients.

The man took one look and said, "Just half an hour will do."

"Okay, awesome, give it to me in half an hour. By the way, this man is your apprentice, right?" Ye Tan asked, looking at a very strong man next to the old blacksmith.

"Yes, his name is Wang Xiaoer. What's the matter with you?" the old blacksmith asked Ye Tan warily. It seemed that he was worried about taking away his apprentice. In this world, it is not only difficult to find a good master, but also a good apprentice.

It’s easy to find, but many skills have been lost in reality.

"It's okay. You go find such thick bamboo nearby, cut one, and pierce it, you know?" Ye Tan said to Wang Xiaoer, who also looked at his master and the head of the family honestly, and then went.

"I wonder what the young master means by doing this? What is this thing?" Jiang Kun asked in confusion. This matter is really scratching his head. It seems that others know everything, but it is a pity that he does not understand anything. This

It feels really uncomfortable.

"The weather is getting cold now. Did anyone freeze to death in Tongzhou in winter?" Ye Tan asked directly without answering his question.

"There should be some." Of course, Jiang Kun couldn't directly say yes. If he said yes, wouldn't it mean that he was a bit rich and unkind?

"There are masters, and there are many every year." Although Yanlao is the person in charge of the workshop, he is also an ordinary person, and he can speak more like the people at the bottom. "Last year, more than 300 people froze to death. In our Tongzhou City,

There are less than 200,000 people."

Speaking of this, even Jiang Kun lamented. A dynasty had just been established. Except for the people at the top, the people below were all unlucky. They had no food or clothing, and even warmth could not be guaranteed. According to historical records, even Li

During the Yonghui period, people did not go out in winter because they had no clothes to wear. It was cold. The clothes at home were probably only a few pieces for a dozen people, and they stayed in bed all day long.

"Do you think food, clothing, housing and transportation are people's livelihood, right?" Ye Tan continued to ask.

"It's okay not to have a place to live, as long as you have food and clothing, that's fine. But now many people have a place to live, but don't have anything to keep warm. It's really life-threatening." Yan Lao is naturally the one who has the most say.

He came up from below.

"Oh, if that's the case, if you can help people realize this idea, will you be rich?" Ye Tan asked.

"Real or false?" Jiang Biehe asked puzzledly, how could such a thing be possible?

"We'll see in a moment." Ye Tan watched the man with the charcoal coming, and asked him to find the yellow mud. Then he crushed the large pieces of charcoal and paste them together with the yellow mud. Because he was in a hurry,

I just used firewood to dry some of it, and it would be fine if I just leave it there.

The blacksmith's skills are very good. After Wang Xiaoer brought the bamboo that he had penetrated, he directly brought what Ye Tan wanted. Although it didn't look pretty, the appearance of the stove was revealed. He first used the molding tools to shape it.

The pebbles were mixed together until a few eyes appeared, and then they were put aside and roasted over a fire. At the same time, he explained, "If this thing is normal, after it is done, you can just put it aside to dry naturally."

"Is it more expensive to use large pieces of coal?" Jiang Kun asked. In fact, many people are already using this thing. Unfortunately, because of the coal poison, the adults who use it are all very poor.

, ordinary people would never use it.

"These are for experiments. Such a large piece of charcoal is very effective. It is naturally used for making steel. Who would use it to burn a stove?" Ye Tan said angrily, and then looked at it and felt that it was almost done.

Put a piece of it on the fire and burned it, and then explained, "Normally, just use a pine cone, soft grass or the like, you don't need this."

After a while, the briquettes became a big red, so he put them in the middle of the stove, and then ventilated the opening below. In order to make the thing burn faster, he directly pulled it to the maximum, and then pointed

He pointed at the opening below and said, "If you don't use it normally, you can plug it in and it won't go out overnight."

Then he took the newest teapot and said, "Go and fill it with spring water."

When the bottom piece was almost cooked, he added another piece, put on the kettle and said, "This way, the women at home don't have to wash their hands and faces with cold water in winter. At the same time, you don't have to bring pancakes."

Well, put two on the side, it will be a great barbecue opportunity in winter."

"But this thing is easy to poison." Jiang Biehe sniffed, but he still smelled the smell. He didn't like it very much and couldn't help but ask.

"You are right, so I asked Wang Xiaoer to make a bamboo like this. In fact, iron pipes can also be used, but the cost of that thing is a bit high. Just make a hole in the window of your home with this thing.

Then you won’t be afraid anymore.”

After talking for a long time, Ye Tan solved many of their problems. Finally, after the water boiled and the cakes were hot, Ye Tan poured water for everyone again and said, "The cost of this thing shouldn't be high, right?

It's definitely not possible to use a lot of scrap iron to make swords, but if you make such a furnace, it costs thirty cents or something, how much money do you think you can make, and add that mountain of coal at the same time?"

Ye Tan's words made Jiang Kun's eyes light up. Sure enough, if this thing could really be made, it would be a treasure trove. However, it's funny to say that many places in Songzhou have this thing. I didn't expect that they didn't know about it.

, pathetic spreading speed.

"Thank you, Master, you are really amazing." Jiang Kun's eyes lit up and he said, this is really a matter of gratitude.

"I haven't finished talking yet. You should treat the common people a little lower on this matter, but you need to say hello to your governor." Ye Tan knows that if you want to be the best in many things, you will end up

It has become a fish head with chopped pepper.

"Why?" Jiang Biehe really didn't know, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, while Jiang Kun thought for a moment and said, "Young Master is worthy of being a Young Master. You are right. If the Governor doesn't know about this matter,

, we will not only not be able to find enough manpower to do this, but we may also be jealous.”

"You are right. You are responsible for making money, but the credit must go to the governor. If Tongzhou City does not freeze to death this winter, and everyone has food to eat, what will happen?" Ye Tan knew that Songzhou City was early

It has reached this level, but unfortunately, it cannot be done here.

"That's definitely a great achievement." Jiang Kun found that he suddenly understood that this kind of thing was always like this, but some people could understand it and others couldn't.
