Three Kingdoms start to kill Guan Yu

The problem that Li Ru encountered was actually the problem of insufficient fuel.

Originally, there were not so many people in Guanzhong.

With Dong Zhuo's relocation of the capital, and later receiving refugees in various aspects.

Up to now, the number of people in Guanzhong has more than doubled compared to before.

Then the cost of eating and drinking will go up all at once.

Of course, the Guanzhong side has been well developed.

But the basic needs in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation have also increased a lot.

Coupled with the people under Hua Xiong's rule, the standard of living has improved significantly compared to before.

Hua Xiong really treats the people under his rule as human beings.

Under such circumstances, living conditions will naturally improve.

At the same time as the living conditions improved, it also meant that the demand for various living materials began to increase exponentially.

On average, one person now consumes more means of subsistence than two or even three people used to.

Under such circumstances, the demand for materials will naturally soar.

There is no shortage of food, and the land in Guanzhong has been developed.

In addition, there are many canals, which can ensure the harvest in drought and flood.

There are also some planting methods promoted by Huaxiong, and the increase in grain production, many of which can fully keep up with people's needs

Not to mention, Hua Xiong is still a good bargainer.

It is often possible to get a lot of food subsidies from other places to subsidize the family.

Under such circumstances, there is no such thing as a food shortage.

What Li Ru said, the main problem is that the wood is not enough.

So many people don't say anything else, just eat two meals a day, and the fuel consumed in a day has reached an astonishing amount.

Not to mention that now is the time when the sky is freezing, and many people need to light a fire to keep warm.

This further increases fuel consumption

In Guanzhong, because of the entry of many people and the rapid recovery of production and life.

There are also a lot of people who need to build houses, and the demand for wood is also great.

The combination of these things created an important dilemma, that is, there was not enough lumber.

Up to now, the mountains in many places have been cut down a little bald.

If this continues, the matter of burning firewood will become a big problem.

Although Li Ru thought of some ways to deal with it, the ways he thought of were only temporary solutions, not the root cause.

It is nothing more than restricting some people to use wood and the like.

But this way of doing things is not good, and it has little effect.

It's just a drop in the bucket.

More importantly, this kind of behavior can easily conflict with the actual needs of many people in Guanzhong.

It is easy to cause dissatisfaction among many people and bring a lot of inconvenience to the lives of many people.

It has been a while since Li Ru discovered this.

These issues have been going on for a long time, and they don't want to trouble Hua Xiong.

After realizing that he couldn't deal with it in the end, he decided to tell Hua Xiong about it.

Let Hua Xiong see if there is any way to solve this difficulty.

After all, in his opinion, the lord of his family is really talented!
There are many things that are very good, and can often turn the impossible into possible.

He's seen it many times over the years.

So I also developed the habit of asking the lord Hua Xiong for countermeasures when encountering unsolvable difficulties.

Hua Xiong had been fighting in front before, and Li Ru didn't want Hua Xiong to be distracted.

So he didn't inform him about it.

After all, in the short term, the impact of this matter is not too serious.

Compared with the previous battle, it can still be delayed for a while.

Now that Hua Xiong is back, the battle ahead has come to an end.

Then he could report this matter to Hua Xiong.

Li Ru has always been able to clearly distinguish the priority of things.

Hearing Li Ru's words, Hua Xiong nodded to show that he understood.

This matter is indeed no small matter.

As the so-called people's livelihood is greater than the sky, if it is not resolved, there will definitely be troubles.

And Li Ru's consideration is also very good.

Under such circumstances, we cannot just cut down forests blindly.

The speed of consumption cannot keep up with the speed of growth.

Then it will inevitably cause significant soil erosion.

In this way, the influence is all aspects.

In the future, the ecology here in Guanzhong will be seriously damaged.

The land will also become barren, and rivers and the like will be more prone to flooding, causing a lot of sedimentation.

But for Hua Xiong, this matter is not particularly difficult to solve.

After all, he came from a later age, with eyes beyond the limitations of this era.

After listening to Li Ru's words, Hua Xiong nodded.

Soon he had an idea in his heart.

He looked at Li Ru and said:
"Mr. Wen Xian, I know about this matter, and there is already a corresponding solution."

Li Ru beside him was shocked when he heard Hua Xiong's words.

Looking up at Hua Xiong, it seemed inconceivable.

On my own side, I was frowning and worried about it for a long time, thinking that this was a difficult problem to solve.

As a result, I told the lord about it, and the lord said that he already had a solution.

This...is this true?

My lord, can you not be so fast!
Even Li Ru, a smart person, was shocked by Hua Xiong's speed.

If it wasn't for his deep understanding of Hua Xiong.

Knowing that his master is on this kind of matter, he will never speak big words.

He said that there is a way, and there is definitely a feasible way.

Absolutely suspect that Hua Xiong is joking at this time, teasing him.

Compared with his own lord, he looks like his own lord, and is more like a counselor than himself.

"My lord, what method are you talking about, I would like to hear the details."

After Li Ru was shocked, he couldn't wait to look at Hua Xiong and ask.

He was really curious about the method Hua Xiong said.

After all, he had been troubled by it for a long time.

In addition, many people were called to discuss this, but there was no good way.

As a result, after Hua Xiong heard it, he said that he had a solution.

This made Li Ru curious.

What good method can Hua Xiong come up with to break the situation?

Hua Xiong's:
"Wen Xiansheng can burn a lot of things, not just wood."

Li Ru nodded, of course he knew this.

It's just that there are a lot of livestock in Guanzhong, and straw and the like need to be fed to the livestock at home.

In addition, the number of fields in Guanzhong is increasing.

Many original wastelands have also been turned into fields for cultivation.

Originally, on the barren land, some hay and the like could be harvested as firewood
But now that there is no wasteland, naturally there is no way to harvest it.

Moreover, there is no need for his lord Hua Xiong to say that the many people themselves are using straw, as well as withered grass as firewood.

If this idea is hit, it is basically tantamount to talking for nothing.

Hua Xiong said:
"I am speaking of another material, which is called coal.

A black stone.

This thing is buried in the ground. If coal can be found, then the fuel problem in the entire Guanzhong area will definitely not be a problem anymore. "

Hua Xiong looked at Li Ru and gave his opinion.

That's right, the solution Hua Xiong thought of was coal.

How good coal is, and how useful it can be.

Hua Xiong, who came from later generations, naturally knew it very clearly.

Before things like natural gas and coal gas were developed and used on a large scale.

Coal is an excellent fuel.

At the same time, it is also the least difficult to develop and use.

In today's day and age, it's totally usable.

Hearing what Hua Xiong said, Li Ru looked at Hua Xiong and said:
"The thing my lord is talking about is coal?"

Hua Xiong nodded and said:
"Exactly that kind of thing."

Li Ru said with a distressed face:

"My lord, this kind of flammable stone has been told to me before, maybe it can be used as fuel.

But...but this thing doesn't work. "

Hua Xiong was a little curious when he heard this.

"Why doesn't this work anymore?
But because when the coal burns, it will produce an extremely unpleasant smell, which makes people feel uncomfortable? "

Li Ru shook his head and said:
"That's not the case, the smell can be tolerated, and many people don't pay that much attention.

This is mainly... mainly because I heard that this thing is poisonous.

In the past, people in places where coal existed also used it as firewood.

As a result, more than a dozen people died, and two of them died...

That rock carbon is poisonous, and everyone's expressions will change when they talk about it.

Those who died using charcoal at the beginning, at this time, the grass on the grave has grown so much, and the bone residue is probably ruined. "

Li Ru looked at Hua Xiong, and told the news he got.

Before Hua Xiong, Li Ru also actively considered, trying to use other things as fuel instead of wood and other things.

But the end result is that there is simply no suitable thing to use.

Charcoal also entered his eyes, but this thing was too dangerous, and Li Ru soon gave it up.

Compared with the lack of some firewood, it is better not to use the coal that can directly poison people to death.

After all, if you lack a little firewood, you will die.

If you use this thing, you might be dead.

There is also coal in Guanzhong, which is not too short.

More importantly, now Huaxiong has won Bingzhou.

On the other side of Bingzhou, the reserves of coal have gone to sea.

Taiyuan County belongs to Bingzhou, which is a famous coal producing area in the future market.

Moreover, there are open-pit high-quality coal mines now.

It doesn't take much effort at all to get a lot of coal.

Before Hua Xiong, he only cared about doing other things.

And the matter of fuel has never been considered, and there has never been a shortage.

Now that he found the problem, he suddenly thought of himself, there was a lot of coal left unused.

As for what Li Ru said about charcoal poisoning people, Hua Xiong didn't take it to heart.

As a person who came from later generations, he naturally knew very clearly what Li Ru said that after burning coal, it would poison people to death.

Looking at Li Ru now, he said:
"Student Wen, don't worry.

The burning of charcoal will kill people, which is easy to solve.

I have a way to solve it. "
