Lu Dynasty

Chapter 438 Coal Furnace
Back at the mansion, I saw four old men, Kong Rong, Mi Heng, Cai Yong, and Qiao Xuan, put the coal stove in the middle of the hot pot table, and the long chimney ran along the roof to the outside of the hall.There is also a copper cauldron on the coal stove, and it seems that something is still boiling in the pot!These four old guys actually eat hot pot around the coal stove, and they are not afraid of gas poisoning!When Cai Yong saw me, he smiled and said, "Baxian, just now Ma Jun and Pu Yuan from the Ministry of Industry brought over a dozen of these... Ah! That's right! It's called a coal stove, and you said it was designed and installed by you. How many of us The old guy saw that this thing was good, so he used it to stew hot pot, not to mention, it was very useful. However, Pu Yuan said that the coal stove would produce some poisonous gas, and told us not to close the door too tightly, so we simply did not close the door It's gone!" I would be depressed if Cai Yong closed the hall door!Have you ever seen someone whose door is open but the door of the middle hall is closed?
"I really envy Bo Jie. I just said that my legs are cold a few days ago. My daughter makes the knee pads and my son-in-law makes the stove. Baxian, why don't you look down on my two daughters! They are still very beautiful!" It is undeniable that big and small Qiao is really beautiful, and when I see them, I will be a little impulsive, but when I think of Qiao Xuan, this old thing, I can't get angry.Haoerlang in Luoyang City is a car-loader, and it's not like his daughter can't get married, so why bother me every day!Even if Qiao Xuan wants me and his daughter to develop, there is no need to mention it every day!It made it very embarrassing for me to meet Big and Little Joe, only he is still pretty, Qiao Xuan's face is almost as shameless as the Great Wall.

"Father-in-law, eat with some uncles first, I'll go to the backyard to see Yan'er!" I really couldn't stand these old men, so I went to the backyard to see my wife, to be honest, I wanted to find something for these old men Do it, save them from gathering at my house to drink when they have nothing to do.

When I came to the backyard, looking at the closed door and a chimney emitting black smoke from the window, I knew that Cai Yan must have used the coal stove.I pushed open the door, and Cai Yan was reading while leaning on the bed in a thin shirt.Our son was placed in the cradle at the head of the bed, and fell asleep peacefully.Cai Yan put down the book and said: "My husband is back, this stove you made is really good. In such a cold day, I only wear a single coat and I am not cold. When Sister Rui'er and the others came over in the afternoon, I was envious. Wait a minute After Jun and Pu Yuan packed them up, they all went back to experience the warmth brought by their husband!"

"Ma Jun told you all the precautions! This coal stove is also dangerous, you must pay attention to controlling the air circulation in the room..." I looked at Cai Yan who was wearing unlined clothes, and I really didn't want to educate her any more.I sat beside Cai Yan, with my hand on her waist.

Cai Yan whispered in my ear: "Thank you, my husband, I know you did all this for me!" The soft words and the scent of the scent made me swallow my saliva.Cai Yan looked at me but giggled.

I snorted angrily: "Little girl, how dare you laugh at me, see how my family will serve you..."

The next day, I went to the court full of ambition and entered the main hall. I found that there were also four stoves placed in the court hall, but the stoves in the court hall were not the ones in my house, but the ones decorated by Ma Jun and the others. The pillars were hollowed out and made directly into four huge copper furnaces.They even made the bottom of the copper stove into a dragon hook, while the chimney was decorated in the shape of a dragon head under the eaves.As soon as the four stoves were lit, the four faucets at the front and back of the main hall began to emit thick black smoke, like four living dragons.I really don't know how Ma Jun and Pu Yuan did it in just one night.When I saw that Zheng Hun was not standing in the morning queue as usual, I understood a little bit!
After the morning court started, Liu Bian sat on the dragon chair and said with a smile, "Lu Qing's action is really extraordinary! Yesterday Ma Jun and Pu Yuan installed such a thing in my bedroom, and I was stunned at that time. But I heard It was made by the prime minister, but it feels very normal! When did the prime minister make a move, when did Fanpin exist?"

"Your Majesty's admiration, maybe all the ministers and workers will soon feel that I am a bit long-winded! But I still want to remind you that you must keep the windows well when using coal stoves, otherwise people will die!" Repeated orders and repeated orders made them clearly understand the seriousness of the matter.When things really go wrong, they'll bother me.

Seeing my serious expression, all civil and military officials bowed together and said, "I respect the prime minister's order!" I saw that everyone took my words to heart and nodded in satisfaction.

"Prime Minister, the coal stoves are in the process of being built. Should we install them for the common people first, or for the Jimin Restaurant first?" The output of coal stoves is not small. If the Ministry of Industry devotes all its efforts to build them, at least thousands of them can be produced a day. However, I asked the Ministry of Industry to teach the stove-making process to folk craftsmen, which resulted in the production of coal stoves not reaching the highest level.So Liu Ye didn't know where to install it first.

"Zi Yang, install it for the common people first! But allocate hundreds of them and send them to Jimin restaurants in Yecheng and Xuchang! Just let Yuan Shao and Cao know the benefits of coal stoves! As for the south, there is no need to worry!" South of the Yangtze River , even if it is cold, it will not go anywhere.Liu Biao and Sun Ce can't make a lot of money, and Liu Bei is a poor man, so how can we use a coal stove!Besides, it is very troublesome for me to transport coal to the south. After all, there are more coal mines in the north than in the south, and it is easier to find than in the south!

As soon as I gave an order, the whole Sizhou started to move, and the Zhen family also put into the production of briquettes.The cost of honeycomb coal is really low, and the coal ash is supplied by the Ministry of Industry. The price set by the Zhen family is five pennies for one penny.Of course, the Zhen family will distribute the bonus to the third floor of the Ministry of Industry, and these three floors will naturally be deducted from Lu Bu's bonus. That is to say, Lu Bu holds 50.00% of the shares and only gets 20.00% of the bonus.And for the sake of publicity, all households who have installed coal stoves will first give away ten trial ones.Now, in Luoyang City, every family has a coal stove.Now that there is a stove, the people also drink boiled water.Even the doctors in Luoyang City are free now, and the number of patients with diarrhea at every turn in the past is much less.

The coal stoves sent to Xuchang and Yecheng will arrive soon, and now Cao is strictly controlling me at Jimin Restaurant.When the shopkeeper of Xuchang Jimin Restaurant unloaded the coal stoves from the car, not only the shopkeeper was stupid, but Cao's people were also stupid!None of them knew what it was.After receiving the report from his subordinates, Cao hurried to Jimin Restaurant, pointing to the coal stove, he asked, "What is this?"

"I don't know!" The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "My lord sent someone to install it, how could I know what it is!"
