Don't panic when fleeing famine, she has become the godmother of all the bosses

It took a whole day to build the blast furnace. When Cheng San and Bai Guichen came back, they immediately took a few steps back when they saw the familiar blast furnace.

Cheng San put down the firewood, and said in shock: "Mother, you want to make alchemy again? Why is the stove different this time, and you don't even open your mouth?"

Shu Yan didn't bother to talk to this guy, he just told them to light up the stove first, and then add more firewood to it, the more the better.

Cheng San and Bai Guichen did as they were told, the stove burned for a whole day and then dried for another day, the wood inside had been fully burned.

Shu Yan led people to collect the toner and added some water. Although the whole yard was dirty and there was a lot of commotion, many neighbors were peeping outside.

The idle scholar was also looking at Shu Yan and the others at the door.

An old man said: "Are you burning charcoal? It's just that this stove is really strange."

This blast furnace is a carbonization furnace, mainly for high-temperature combustion.

Shu Yan ordered a few people to put away the finished smokeless charcoal embryos. The weather is fine these days, and they can be dried after a few days in the sun.

Although this smokeless charcoal is not exquisite, it can still be sold at a good price.

The scholar might have chatted with Shu Yan a few times, and felt that he still had some face, so he stepped forward to watch the movements of several people carefully.

Others in the village followed suit and moved forward one after another.

They closed the gate, and those people sneaked into the dog hole to peek.

Cheng San couldn't help but said to his godmother: "Godmother, if they learn the money-making method we came up with, wouldn't we lose our money?"

Shu Yan shook his head.

"Just learn it. If you can learn it, it will be good to live a few more people this winter."

Forsythia at the side was silent, just staring at the hundreds of pieces of black anthracite.

In the middle of the night, Shu Yan, who had worked for several days, slept in the house.

In Sui Ying and Lianqiao's room, Lianqiao suddenly opened her eyes. She got off the bed and went to the yard, but saw a child crawling in from the dog's hole, holding two pieces of smokeless charcoal in her hand, and wanted to run away.

Forsythia flew forward and directly pressed the child under her arm.

The child burst into tears immediately, and Lian Qiao said sharply: "You are a child, and you actually went to other people's houses to steal things?"

The commotion between the two was very loud, Shu Yan woke up from the room in a daze, only to see Lian Qiao holding a crying child whose face was full of marks.

Shu Yan said: "What's the matter? What are you kid doing at my house?"

The child was crying out of breath.

"I... I just want to..."

Cheng San seemed to know this child. Cheng San stepped forward and pulled Lianqiao's arm away. He said, "I know this child. His father and elder brother have gone to war. There is only one mother in the family. She is weak and sick, and the fields have been occupied by others." It must be to find a way out from us."

The child cried even more when he heard Cheng San help him speak.

Shu Yan sighed, and she said to Lianqiao: "Send this child away, they are all poor people."

Cheng San led the child away, Shu Yan was about to turn around and go to sleep, but was stopped by Lian Qiao, Lian Qiao said to Shu Yan: "Madam, you want these people to learn how to make smokeless charcoal, and then subsidize livelihood?"

Shu Yan nodded, it seems that this Forsythia is very intelligent.

Lian Qiao said: "But have you ever thought that it's not difficult to make this smokeless charcoal? Everyone in the village does it and sells it in Xiangcheng. In the end, it will be like firewood, getting cheaper and cheaper. , In the end, it is very likely that everyone will not earn any money, but there will be no firewood to keep themselves warm, and they will freeze to death in the end."

Shu Yan said: "Then have you ever thought about selling this smokeless carbon to other places, buying it in big cities like Shaoyang and Taiyuan, and gathering the people in the whole village to produce it together?"

Lianqiao didn't speak any more, Shu Yan continued: "Do you know why I, a dignified old lady, want to farm here?"

Forsythia: "Do you like rural life?"

Shu Yan shook her head, she took a long breath, as if thinking of many things from the past.

"I did so many things with Old Man Chen back then, and most of them failed. I didn't understand it before, but now I understand that we are too superior. If you want to solve the problem of the peasants, you have to be a peasant yourself. "

Lianqiao naturally knew what Shu Yan and Chen Shengzhi did in the south of the Yangtze River. Although she only heard about it, she also knew that the mistress of the Chen family was definitely not a good person to get along with.

But now Shu Yan is very humane for some reason.

Lianqiao: "Is it really worth it for someone like you to spend so much effort just for a small village?"

When Cheng San came back after seeing off the children, he looked at Shu Yan and Lianqiao with a smile on his face.

Cheng San: "Of course it's worth it."

Shu Yan nodded, Lian Qiao didn't say anything, she turned and went back to her room.

Cheng San crossed his arms, looked at Shu Yan who was beside him who let out a long sigh of relief, Cheng San said, "Mother, you really worked hard to win people's hearts."

Shu Yan kicked Cheng San, and she said to herself, "I also want to ask the common people to do good things, but you have a lot of connections, you know every kid in the village."

Cheng San touched his nose, said with a smile: "Of course I don't know him, I just made it up, godmother, am I particularly witty?"

Shu Yan couldn't hold back and kicked Cheng San again, and even gave him a word in his mouth.

"Hurry up and go to sleep."

Cheng Sanmei happily went back to sleep in her room, while Shu Yan stood alone in the yard, looking at the white moon.

She suddenly remembered something.

During this period of time, Shu Yan's memories would occasionally pop up, which made her a little helpless, as it always seemed to be accompanied by various things in reality.

Like what she thinks of now.

She had said the same thing to old man Chen before, she wanted the people in the world to live a good life, and old man Chen was recruited by Shu Yan in the same way.

She still remembers the passionate admiration and appreciation in the eyes of the young Chen Shengzhi when he heard about her ambition.

However, Shu Yan has been busy for more than 20 years, and most things run counter to her imagination.

Shu Yan covered her head and took a deep breath.

The moonlight shone on Shu Yan's face, she looked at the dark night sky, and she didn't know whether she was sad or happy at the moment.

Perhaps because of a sympathy, Yu'an came out of the house and saw her grandma in a daze, so she came over and took Shu Yan's hand and asked a question.

"Grandma, what are you doing? Are you looking at the moon?"

Shu Yan sighed, looking at her cute little grandson.

"Yu'an, what if grandma can't do it?"

Yu'an froze for a moment, the child seemed to understand, he took Shu Yan's hand, and said, "Then I will take over from Grandma and continue."
