A small peasant girl

Chapter 955 The Explanation of the Rough Emissary

Wenzi held a black stone in his hand, and was so moved that he almost burst into tears, but when he heard Xiaoying's question, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know how to answer her question.

Looking at the coal in his hand, Wenzi couldn't help but sighed up to the sky, this is the treasure bestowed by all things, and it is the best thing that can be exchanged for money.

Xiaoying didn't know much about the value of black stones, and she didn't know how to deal with these things, she just looked at Wenzi's emotional expression, and asked curiously, "Girl, what's wrong with you, I look at you like I'm going to cry."

"Xiaoying, these black stones don't seem to be worth a lot of money. In fact, if you make good use of them, they are worth a lot of money." Wenzi couldn't explain the role of coal to Xiaoying all of a sudden, so she could only briefly explain to Xiaoying, but what was in her mind at the moment , Immediately flashed an idea of ​​making money.

Wenzi has been in this world for a long time. She knows that firewood is the most commonly used firewood by ordinary people, and charcoal is also often used, but she has never discovered the existence of coal.

For this reason, Wenzi also consulted many useful books, but he could not find a description of coal. He asked Wang Qingwen himself, and the answers he got were not satisfactory.

"Oh, that's it." After listening to Wenzi's words, Xiaoying immediately regained her spirits, and quickly put the black stones into the bamboo basket, with an attitude that none of them would be left behind, carefully and seriously, "Girl, if it's really what you said In this way, if the black stone can be turned into something valuable, then Dehua Town will not have to continue to be so poor in the future."

"Well, if possible, I also hope that the people here can live a better life in the future." When Wenzi said this, the inside story was excited. She felt that the few villains she met today were not real. In the sense of being bad, it's just that you have lost the kindness you should have due to poverty.

Back at the yamen, Wenzi found Lao De directly. After she dumped the things on the table, she immediately said to Lao De straight to the point, "Debo, have you seen these things before?"

"Oh, these are..." Old De's eyes showed a puzzled look. Although he is a parent officer in a poor place, he still doesn't fall into the situation of dealing with the kitchen himself.

Seeing Lao De's puzzled expression, Wen Zi laughed instead. If people here don't know the existence of coal and its commercial value, that would be the best thing.

At this moment, a rough envoy's servant brought Wenzi in with tea. When she saw the black stone that Wenzi put on the table, she whispered, "Isn't this a black stone?"

Wenzi's ears are very useful at critical moments. She directly pulled the rough envoy's servant and asked, "You also know that it is called Black Stone?"

"This..." Wenzi pulled the servant by the sleeves of the rough envoy, her eyes showed a little panic, she was timid, thinking that the county master must entertain the distinguished guests, so she kept looking at the master in a panic De, "I, I..."

"Say what you know. In front of Miss Wen, there is no need to hide it." Lao De received the signal from the eyes of the rough envoy, and directly ordered her to tell the truth.

After receiving the reminder from the county lord, the rough envoy dared to whisper, "Girl, this thing is called a black stone, and it's used to light fire."

"Oh, it's used for burning fire?" Hearing this, Wenzi's face couldn't help but a trace of disappointment flashed across her face. Could it be that her guess was wrong, and everyone here knows the existence of coal?
The rough envoy looked at Wenzi with a worried look on his face and said, "Yes, girl, there is not much firewood to cut on the mountain in winter, and the poorer families can't afford firewood, so they can only pick up some black stones to make do with it."

"Oh, since this black stone can be used as firewood, why are you still chopping firewood?" Wenzi continued to ask the servants about some details, so that she could think about the key points.

"Girl." Hearing Wenzi's question, the servant of the rough envoy stood here and giggled awkwardly, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, but actually, this black stone is not easy to burn. You have to smash it to burn some. It's strange. It’s a waste of time, it’s better to go straight up the mountain to cut firewood.”

"Oh, that's it." Wenzi snickered inwardly, and the original doubts were swept away, but she still endured the excitement in her heart, and continued to ask some questions of the rough envoy, "Then, do you know how many people love you?" Do you use these black stones as firewood?"

"Girl, to tell you the truth, those who can use black stones to light a fire are the hard-working people who can't get rid of the fire at home. The rich have already bought firewood, so who bothers to bother?" People from poor families like them are reluctant to bring up this matter.

For them, using black stones and buying firewood is a dividing line that needs no explanation. It distinguishes the economic conditions of their families from good or bad, which makes many ordinary people unwilling to say that they use black stones for fire.

"Okay, I see." Wenzi, who listened almost, smiled directly at the rough envoy, and then she turned her head and gave Xiaoying a look, suggesting that Xiaoying should take out some reward money.

Xiaoying received the message from Wenzi's eyes, she directly reached out her hand to take out the purse, she took out a piece of broken silver from it, handed it to the rough hand of the servant, and did not forget to confess, "Girl reward, take it carefully alright."

"This..." The rough envoy's servants looked at the scraps of silver in their hands, and immediately turned their attention to the master of De County, and laughed dryly, as if he was asking the master of the county whether he should accept the reward.

"Since Miss Wen gave it to you, you can accept it." The master of De County saw the scruples of the rough envoy and servant, and directly agreed to the reward from Zi Zi, "Remember, no one should mention the matter of going back. Otherwise, you know the consequences."

Although Lao De didn't know Wenzi's intention of asking the servant Heishi, but he could see an emotion called urgency from Wenzi's face.

Moreover, Wenzi is a person of interest recommended by Xuanyuan Po to him, so he will definitely not waste time on some useless things, Heishi, I am afraid it is a bit worth seeing.

"Yes, yes, I have written it down." The servant of the rough envoy received the response from the county lord, and happily handed over the broken silver coins. Before leaving, she did not forget to bow to Wenzi halfway, as a thank you for Wenzi's generous reward. up.

After the servants left, Wenzi burst out laughing, and after laughing enough, she said to the puzzled old De, "Deb, you are full of treasures in Dehua Town. "

"Miss Wen, I don't know how you say this?" Lao De was pleasantly surprised and puzzled when he heard Wenzi's words, and desperately hoped that Wenzi could give a reason to convince himself, "Forgive me for being stupid Miss Wen, please don't laugh at me, I really haven't seen any treasure here."
