"That's it." Jiang Kun asked his men to take out a piece of briquettes, then found some dry firewood and lit the thing in the yard. After a while, he put it in the stove, put the kettle on it, and said

, "Sir, please see, this is what it looks like."

"This thing is charcoal, how come it has such a shape?" Hu Meng really didn't understand why good charcoal should be made into such a shape.

"Sir, this thing is not complete coal, but the broken pieces." Jiang Kun admired Ye Tan's ingenuity in his heart. He regarded things that others thought were unnecessary as good things, and those

The complete coal can be used to make other things. He no longer doubts Ye Tan's ability to make steel, because the Jiang family has taken a big advantage now, and he originally wanted to kill Zizhu.

Of the sword sect.

"Oh, it's the kind that makes a pile as soon as you do it, and then the wind blows and it's all over the sky?" Hu Meng really did some research on this thing. When we were marching and fighting, there was not always firewood.

, so I will use this kind of thing instead. This kind of thing has many benefits, except dust and coal poison.

"Yes, sir, if this is the case, we don't have to worry about problems even if we mine a charcoal mountain somewhere. Moreover, after this thing is burned, it can also be used to pave roads." Jiang Kun revealed another aniseed.

, Hu Meng was pleasantly surprised. Did this Jiang Kun get some secret book from the outer world? This kind of thing is really not something that should exist in this world.

"Come, come, let's talk." Hu Meng pulled Jiang Kun into the living room. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were really not many corrupt officials, and there were quite a few doing things for the people.

The two sat in the living room again, and Hu Meng quickly asked Nuaneng to serve tea, and then asked him to continue talking.

Jiang Kun took a sip of tea and felt that he was almost twenty years younger. Then he began to organize some of the things Ye Tan told him and said them according to his own thoughts. Although Hu Meng was a stick, he was even more

He is a person with brains. Otherwise, a person without brains would not be able to be a high official and stay there for such a long time.

"So, Mr. Jiang is going to make a fortune." Hu Meng's happy expression suddenly faded a lot, and he suddenly picked up the tea cup and took a sip seriously.

This sentence seems to be a good word of encouragement, but in Jiang Kun's eyes, it is telling you, do you want to be alone? I will not help you and the Zizhu Sword Sect, but I also have this benefit.

I won't let you go. If you don't obey me, then, haha, everything will become different. Maybe the so-called good things will turn into bad things, maybe it only takes a blink of an eye.

Jiang Kun was such a veteran, so naturally he would not let Hu Meng have such a bad idea about him. He quickly said, "Sir, you are joking. Although this idea came from a friend of mine, but...

He also said that the purpose of this idea is to benefit the people, and at the same time, it would be nice to give us some benefits, so I plan to donate 30% of the benefits of making the stove to the Tongzhou government, and 20% of the benefits of the Tanshan Mountain.

Government."

"What do you mean? Do you think I want to covet your things?" Hu Meng suddenly put the teacup on the ground, looking insulted. This is the so-called politician. Even if it is something you gave me, I have to behave.

It has nothing to do with it, otherwise, wouldn’t it appear that I am greedy for money? People in higher positions cannot be greedy for money, nor can they be lustful, let alone have bad behavior. Unless you are beaten down one day, then you may be a

This is the characteristic of a heinous person.

"My lord, I misunderstood. This money is not for you." Jiang Kun had to quickly show off that he did not do this just to tarnish you, the leader.

"Oh? What do you mean?" Hu Meng asked curiously, does this man have other ideas?

"The dynasty has just been established, and there are still many places that need to be built, so with this money we mean to ask the Tongzhou government to help us with infrastructure construction, such as building roads, planting trees, etc." Jiang Kun really said this.

I admire Ye Tan. You can’t do it. Even if you say something like this, in fact, it’s not the other person who has the final say on how to use the money? I really thought they would tell you.

"So you are so thoughtful, yes, yes, that's the truth." Hu Meng didn't expect that this person was so considerate, and couldn't help but feel very grateful.

"The governor is an honest official, how could he want these things?" Jiang Kun said with a flattering smile, and then the two of them chatted happily for a while. As for who Ye Tan was, Jiang Kun himself didn't know, so

, and I can’t tell a result.

"Who, who did this?" Just when the two were planning to chat about going out to see the public sentiment, a thick voice came, making Hu Meng tremble. Then he remembered something and hurriedly pulled Jiang Kun towards the door.

.

There was a woman in coarse clothes at the door. Her biggest features were big hands and feet, a big body, and thick eyebrows. She was a very normal Guanzhong woman. She was pointing at the stove and making a fuss, while a little girl next to her had a bad look on her face.

, but didn’t know what to say.

As soon as Hu Meng walked out of the door, he was stared at by her. He couldn't help but said angrily, "You Hu Meng, are you planning to scare me to death and marry another one?"

This sentence was very familiar. Hu Meng heard it often. Although he thought about it in his heart, he didn't dare to say it. He pretended not to hear it and pushed Jiang Kun out to jack up the tank.

Seeing the old-fashioned Jiang Kun, the woman said directly, "Who are you? Are you Hu Meng's friend and are you going to take him out to visit the brothels?"

Looking into her eyes, Jiang Kun felt that he might as well go directly to the people of the Zizhu Sword Sect and fight for his life. Although he had really told Hu Meng, wasn't he seeking death by saying this at this time?

"No, no, madam, you misunderstood. I came here this time for you, madam." Jiang Kun quickly shook his head, and then said something that stunned her, "For me?"

"Yes, now that the weather is cold, Madam still works so hard every day. She is really a role model for my ladies in Tongzhou. It is much better than those who are sour and jealous all day long. However, the weather is cold, and Madam works so hard every day.

My hand is seriously injured, it’s not right to be like this." Jiang Kun quickly continued to praise.

"You're injured, what's wrong?" Although he accepted your flattery, he didn't accept your statement. He stared blankly, and he was really a couple with Hu Meng.

"Who in Tongzhou City doesn't know that the governor and his wife are in love as strong as gold, and they have worked hard and come through ups and downs together. However, because the wife did not trust the people below to work, she personally took care of the governor's mother. This winter's hand

It's red and swollen all the time. This will make people outside have opinions about the governor." Jiang Kun was really pretty. He looked at her and seemed to be moved, so he continued, "So, I got one.

When this comes out, not only will Madam be able to honor the old Madam comfortably, but also many women in Tongzhou City who think the same as Madam will also enjoy endless blessings."

"Really, how to do it?" The governor's wife was really moved by his persuasion. Most of the reasons why she said Hu Meng were personal habits and not really directed at the other party.

"Come and see." Jiang Kun asked someone to bring a basin, and then he saw that the heat on the kettle was coming out. He lifted the kettle and poured water into the basin. A burst of heat started to rise, and he pointed at the stove and said

, "Madam, please see, you don't need to boil hot water for washing dishes in the future, and when the weather is hot or bad, you don't have to worry about boiling water and sweating, or having to wash again after taking a bath."

, just replace it with a piece of briquettes, and then continue burning. And when this thing is not used at night, just close the stove door, leaving a little gap. When you get up in the morning, just pull it out, and you can boil water in a while.

It’s time to cook.”

As Jiang Kun narrated, the governor's wife's eyes lit up. Although she was a serious and hard-working woman, it did not mean that she would not worry about those things. However, Hu Meng's mother was old and needed hot water to take a bath and wash her feet every day.

After serving the old man a bath, he had to take a bath himself, and when the weather was humid, the firewood was not very dry. After boiling the water, his face was all black, which was not decent.

She might not understand other things, but she was very familiar with things about the stove. She pushed Jiang Kun away and tried it herself. She couldn't help but feel happy. She directly picked up one of them and ran towards the kitchen.

As if he was worried that someone would snatch it away, he shouted to the people around him as he ran to return it, "Take the rest too."

"This can keep you warm." Jiang Kun's words were thrown into the wind and rain, and no one heard him, but he still looked at Hu Meng and said, "Master Governor, my wife has the vision."

Hu Meng laughed a few times, and then Jiang Kun left and went to his mother's room.

Sure enough, there was a stove there, and the room was much warmer. Although it was a bit early to do this now, looking at his mother's appearance, she had worked so hard for this family all these years, and he felt happy in his heart. However, he found that he

My wife only installed the stove but not the vent pipe. Thinking of Jiang Kun's instructions, she quickly had someone install it.

"Meng'er, what are you doing with this?" Hu Meng's mother is eighty years old this year. Although her legs are a little bad, her eyesight is fine. She looked at the hole in the perfectly good window and asked with a little distress.

"Mother, this..." Before he could finish speaking, his wife came in. When she saw that a big hole had been opened in a good window, she couldn't help but said angrily, "You Hu Meng, you are going to make trouble, why are you doing this?"

If you break this window, do you know how much this window is worth? Do you think that since you are an official, you are great and you can do whatever you want..."

"Stop, madam." This time, Hu Meng was no longer afraid. Instead, he stopped his wife's words with a bit of pride.

"What's the matter? Let me see what you can say today?" Madam didn't care at all about his attitude, she mainly looked at his behavior.

"Every year, people who use charcoal for heating will have coal poisoning. Madam, you should know about it, right?" Hu Meng asked pretending to be mysterious.

"Well, I know, what's wrong?" Madam naturally knew. She came from a small place and had encountered such things before.

"This pipe can drain the coal poison from the house. Otherwise, it would be unfilial." Hu Meng explained in a low voice.

"Really?" Madam looked unbelieving.

"It's true." Hu Meng assured, patting his chest.

"Hey, my husband is still awesome." The lady got excited and almost slapped the fierce general Hu Meng to the ground. Then she went over to support the old woman and said, "Mom, let's go, it's very noisy here. Let's go to the corridor for a while.

, come back after everything is well."
