"Qiongzhou is very warm, and the temperature in winter is almost the same as spring in Beijing. How could they freeze?"
As soon as Father Shen said these words, Mrs. Zhang's expression froze.
"Yeah?"
Mrs. Zhang was dubious. She had never been to Qiongzhou and didn't know much about this. But as long as Jiang Miao and the others couldn't freeze, Mrs. Zhang was relieved.
"Don't worry. With the third daughter-in-law here, they will definitely have a good life. Maybe they will discover something new now."
In Father Shen's heart, his third daughter-in-law is almost omnipotent, and there is nothing she cannot do.
Mrs. Zhang nodded heavily after hearing this, "What you are saying is that with Miao Ya here, we really don't need to worry."
——
Qiongzhou.
Father Shen thought that Jiang Miao would discover something new. He was indeed not wrong. Jiang Miao really discovered it.
In fact, it is not Jiang Miao who discovered it. Qiongzhou is currently building roads. It has many mountains and rivers, so building roads is not easy.
Fortunately, Jiang Miao had gunpowder in hand. In some places where mountains needed to be carved, gunpowder was used directly without manpower, which greatly saved manpower.
And it was also while bombing the mountain that the workers discovered something new.
"Sir, what is this?"#@$&
With a bang, the mountain was blown open, revealing what was inside.
I saw black earth and rocks mixed in between the rocks. The workers had all seen charcoal, and these black earth and rocks looked similar to charcoal.
Liang Duo came over when he heard the noise. He narrowed his eyes when he looked at the earth and rocks and asked the workers to continue digging.
I saw more and more earth and rocks being dug out, as if the entire mountain was a black stone mine.
Liang Duo naturally knew how precious charcoal was, so he picked up a piece and lit it with fire. Sure enough, the piece of earth and stone really burned.%&(&
His eyes lit up, and he quickly surrounded the mountain and told everyone not to leak the news, otherwise he would kill them without mercy.
These earth and rocks are treasures, and he must report them to the adults as soon as possible.
The workers now also understood the importance of the matter, and they might have dug something incredible.
Liang Duo was very fast and rushed back to Qiongzhou City overnight.
Shen Yan got up early in the morning and saw him waiting in the study.
After not sleeping all night, Liang Duo was not only not sleepy, but also very energetic. His hands holding the box were sweating, but he was unwilling to put it down.
Seeing Shen Yanqing coming over, he excitedly stepped forward and presented the box.
"Sir, my subordinate discovered charcoal."
It is not an artificial charcoal fire, but one created by oneself.
Liang Duo didn't know the formation process of coal. He thought that these earth and rocks grew by themselves like other stones.
Shen Yanqing quickly took it and opened the box. It was filled with coals. Each one was about the size of a baby's fist. They looked very inconspicuous, but Liang Duo knew how resistant they were to burning. They were better than the best silver charcoal in the capital.
It is also resistant to burning.
"Bring me the flint."
After hearing Liang Duo's report, Shen Yanqing felt hopeful. He asked Zhu Kuan to get a brazier and flint, and lit a piece of coal himself. As Liang Duo said, these coals burned better than ordinary charcoal fires and were smoke-free.
Also small.
"Call Madam over."
Shen Yanqing has already guessed what this thing is. It has been recorded in ancient books, "The mountain of women's beds has many hidden stones."
Although coal is rare, it is not that no one mines it. It is just that the mining and mining process is difficult and there is little circulation in the market.
Shen Yanqing called Jiang Miao over, just to let her take a look and confirm what she was thinking.
In Shen Yanqing's heart, Jiang Miao was more knowledgeable than him, so the two always discussed important matters. Shen Yanqing never looked down upon Jiang Miao because she was a woman.
When Jiang Miao woke up, she knew it was Liang Duo who had come. He was leading people to build roads outside Qiongzhou. If he didn't have something important to do, he would never come back easily.
Shen Yanqing called her over, and Jiang Miao felt curious.
Could it be that something happened outside?
But when she saw the coal in the box, Jiang Miao finally understood the purpose of Shen Yanqing calling her here.
"This is indeed coal. What Liang Duo discovered should be a large coal mine."
Even Jiang Miao felt excited when she saw this coal mine.
Especially this year, it was a cold winter. Snow disasters occurred in many places. News of people freezing to death came from all over. Jiang Miao asked Yuhua Building to donate a lot of thick clothes, but it was only a drop in the bucket.
But with the advent of coal mines, everything changed.
"Ms. sir, with so much coal, the people of Dayan can be saved."
"Um."
Shen Yanqing was also very excited, obviously he had also thought of this.
"Put the road construction on hold and focus on manual coal digging!"
"yes!"
The news of the discovery of coal mines in Qiongzhou spread quickly. The court was shaken, and the ministers had different thoughts.
They all lamented Shen Yanqing's good luck. He was probably a literary star who could find important things wherever he went.
It's like they have all the luck in the world. They were jealous at first, but gradually became numb later.
This person was born for them to look up to.
When Shen Yanqing discovered the coal mine, Zhao Jing was the happiest.
He was already worried about the snow disaster, but now that coal is available, the starving people have a chance to survive.
"Ziyan and Miaoya are indeed my lucky stars!"
Zhao Jing knew that manpower was needed to dig coal, so he sent Guo Zhao to lead troops to help, which also served as a deterrent to prevent anyone from having any objections.
After all, the benefits behind such a large coal mine are immeasurable.
I'm afraid it will take a long time for Guo Zhao to leave. He and Shen Yingxue have just been married not long ago, so they will definitely be reluctant to separate suddenly.
Shen Yingxue thought about it all night and decided to follow him to Qiongzhou.
Anyway, there are still Jiang Miao and Shen Yanqing in Qiongzhou, so she won't feel bored there.
Mrs. Zhang also had the idea of going to Qiongzhou. She really missed her grandchildren, and since Mrs. Zhang had seen more, she wanted to see more outside. So the mother and daughter hit it off and decided to take this opportunity to go to Qiongzhou.
No one can change what Mrs. Zhang decided, not even Father Shen can persuade her to come back.
The Shen family had no choice but to go with her, but the journey was far away and they had to leave immediately, so the whole Shen family came together to help pack their things.
Shen Laoer carried a strange car and put it on the carriage. Mrs. Zhang didn't know what it was, so Shen Laoer gave it a try.
"Mom, take it to your third wife, she knows how to ride it."
He only made this bicycle last month. Jiang Miao gave him the drawings before, but some parts could not be made. This time it was finally done. Shen Laoer couldn't wait to send it to Jiang Miao and also made some parts. The craftsmanship was also sent over.
Mrs. Zhang saw that he was mysterious and didn't say much. Since it was for Jiang Miao, she had to protect it.
Before setting off, there was one more person in the team.
"Da Ya, why are you here too?"
It turns out that Da Ya has also been packing her things quietly these days, just waiting to go with them.
"Grandma, I also want to go to Qiongzhou with you!"
