Travel through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 177 Utilization of Coal
All the mines in the entire Youzhou area heard rumbling sounds.

The mobile phone also brought new rewards to Yang Yu, that is to say, the task about gunpowder was completed ahead of schedule. This time, the mobile phone actually gave out several mining points. What are these mining points? After exploration.

He was surprised to find that it turned out to be coal.

"We discovered this thing a long time ago, and thought it was a black stone, and it was not strong yet. Therefore, we agreed that it has no use value, so we didn't mine it, and we didn't tell you, my lord."

"Ah, poof." Yang Yu vomited three liters of blood in anger, lost too much blood and died, that, this is impossible, but it is true that Yang Yu was so angry, you have already found out, why did I waste it in vain A chance for a mobile phone reward.

However, coal came at just the right time, so why do you say that.

Before, Yang Yu didn't ask people to look for the existence of coal mines. Why didn't they look for them, because there was no need for that. Whether it was for daily use or for ironmaking, there are a lot of forests in Youzhou, which can not only be mined The trees in the forest can also turn the place where the trees are mined into fertile land, so Yang Yu is not in a hurry to find coal mines.

However, after the appearance of gunpowder, things were different. The consumption of trees was huge. This was not what Yang Yu wanted to see, because he felt that the land under his control should be considered quite a lot. If the population increases, it should expand beyond the Great Wall, and it is even possible to build a city outside the Great Wall.

Ever since Yang Yu established the slave hunting team, there has been a huge vacuum between the Great Wall and the nomads. The grass on the grassland has grown very lush because there is no harm from horses, cattle and sheep. Seeing this situation, many people think it is a pity that so much grass is wasted for nothing.

In this way, Yang Yu had the intention of expanding beyond the Great Wall. Unfortunately, due to the lack of people, Yang Yu's pace of expansion was temporarily slowed down. Although some advance teams went out, they only brought tents and rushed After the cattle and sheep go out for a period of time, they will soon come back to the Great Wall.

Why, I'm still worried that it's not safe to go outside, but if there are too many people going out, build a city directly, and everyone will live around the city. If there is any enemy situation, quickly hide in the city. This is the real thing safe too!

"My lord, the matchmaker you are talking about is coal, right? This is a new word. What is the function of this coal?"

"What's the role, the role, it's great, come here, bring me the stove and the tube I prepared." Now that there is coal, then Yang Yu will completely eliminate the use of firewood, especially in Youzhou Yang Yu's management is very rich, and it is possible to completely eliminate firewood. Even some weeds that must be burned can also be used as compost. In the end, there are some small woody firewood such as branches and trunks. , can also be used as a fire to ignite coal, but even these wooden branches and the bark on them will be peeled off and used as raw materials for papermaking. If it is not impossible to process wood pulp, Yang Yu now wants to make wood pulp paper.

"My lord, here is the iron stove you asked for, as well as this furnace cylinder."

"Well, okay, you are here, open a round hole for me, just enough to put the stove cylinder in, and seal the stove door."

At this time, autumn has already entered, and the sky has begun to turn cold. It is just right to light the stove in the room.However, there is a fire wall in this house, if the stove of the fire wall is suitable for the coal stove, Yang Yu is not willing to spend that effort, so it is better to make a stove directly, and this stove is very useful. Not only can you keep warm, but you can also boil water on it, and you can even cook. However, in this kind of public place, cooking is not necessary.

"Everyone, come and see." Soon, Yang Yu helped the craftsmen to set up the stove. The stove is close to the wall, so it doesn't get in the way in the room itself. This place, In winter, it's the place to put firewood. If you want to burn a fire wall, you will naturally put some firewood in front of you. Could it be that every time you add firewood to the stove pit, you have to go to the yard every time to get it.

"Well, this thing is good. It's hotter than firewood, and the time interval between adding coal is also long, but the coal is too dirty and black."

Everyone looked at the glowing red stove, and finally came this sentence, Yang Yu almost fell down after listening to it, what kind of disadvantage is this, and you don't need to grab the coal with your hands, isn't there a shovel?

"My lord, what is this and what is it for?" Suddenly, someone found a strange thing with a big belly, a long mouth, and a handle. What is it? "This one. I forgot. This is a kettle for boiling water. Come and see it."

Yang Yu demonstrated again. First, he filled the pot with water, then took off the lid of the stove and put the pot on it. After a while, the water in the pot boiled.

"Oh, this thing is convenient. Drinking tea, when you are thirsty, you don't need to continue to wait for the steps one by one. It can make people anxious to death."

It is true that someone discovered this benefit. When drinking tea, if you are idle, it is called tea tasting. When you are thirsty, it is called suffering. But with this pot for boiling water, it is really fast. There are many.

This time, Yang Yu was inspired instead, and quickly found a big bowl, each person looked at the big bowl, and then put a little tea in each bowl, picked up the pot, and poured water into it.

"Hahahaha, drinking tea in this big bowl is really refreshing?" Dian Wei laughed out loud first, he drank a bowl of tea in one go, even the tea leaves, not even afraid of being scalded, it was a pleasure cruel.

"Well, what a rude way of drinking tea, it's worth promoting." Everyone sighed in unison.

Yang Yu didn't expect this, Dian Wei's rough way of drinking tea turned out to be rough in their mouths, could it be that this is also a kind of tea art failure.

However, Yang Yu suddenly remembered the kind of iron teapot with long mouth in the later generations, which had to be carried far away to pour tea. Maybe, this can be promoted. Making the tea bowl slightly smaller can also be regarded as a way of drinking tea. Way, but this way is suitable for pre-dinner tea or after-dinner tea in restaurants. In some restaurants, it is really not a very practical and elegant way of drinking tea, it is too time-consuming.

Is this coal only used for heating, boiling water and drinking tea? Naturally, this is not the case. Next, Yang Yu will slowly promote it. This will take time, and coal mines need to be truly developed, and the authenticity of these coal mines needs to be identified. Quality depends on what the coal mine can be suitable for making, and now, Yang Yu is naturally the first choice to use it in life.

The houses in Youzhou, in particular, need major changes, yes, rebuilding.
