"Do you think what the boy said is true or false?"

In the carriage, Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang: "Nine times out of ten, it's true. His eyes didn't dodge under my gaze." He said with a smile, "If his disguise can deceive me, then he is also a talent.

”

Daohua smiled and said: "At the age of twelve or thirteen, he saw that we could compete with Yang Baihu, so he made a decisive decision and asked for help with huge profits. This courage and determination alone are better than many people."

Xiao Yeyang nodded in agreement: "The Shaolin trees here in Xiliang are very cold in winter, so most of the heating is carried by briquettes. If we can really find an open-pit coal mine, it can also alleviate the financial pressure of Ganzhou Wei.

”

After coming here, he has already invested a lot of money. The gold used to buy the horse this time was provided by the Xiao Mansion. Although he has no use for it, he will have to use it next time to buy a horse.

It doesn't matter if it happens once or twice. If it continues like this, he will empty out his family.

Daohua reminded: "If you use coal, you must pay attention to ventilation, otherwise you will get gas poisoning."

Xiao Yeyang: "People here in Xiliang don't use coal every day or two. They know this better than us, so don't worry too much."

When it was getting dark, Xiao Yeyang once again took Daohua and stayed at the inn here in Beiwan Baihusuo.

After running around for a day, everyone was hungry. Xiao Yeyang ordered food. He and Daohua sat at one table, and Meilan Meiju and Deshou Shadow sat at another table.

Everyone had just finished eating when they heard exclamations coming from the backyard.

People in the inn lobby looked around one after another, and many people even got up and walked to the backyard.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Deshou, who immediately followed the others to the backyard.

Soon, Deshou came back.

"Master, madam, nothing's wrong. It's just that the woman who was lighting the fire in the kitchen fainted from the briquettes. After being carried out, she vomited for a while and she's recovered."

Xiao Yeyang nodded and continued eating.

Daohua asked: "briquettes? The solid kind?"

Xiao Yeyang shrugged, he had never seen briquettes.

Daohua looked at Mei Lan: "Mei Lan, after you finish eating, go to the kitchen and bring a briquette for me to see."

Xiao Yeyang: "What's so good about briquettes?"

Daohua: "I'm just curious. If the briquettes are really solid, I might be able to change them to make the briquettes burn at a higher rate and reduce the poisoning caused by the coal not burning out."

After the two of them finished eating, they returned to their room.

As soon as Daohua untied her bun, Mei Lan came in with a dark briquette.

"It's indeed solid. I'll go back and ask the master at the blacksmith shop to make a manual briquette mold, and I can turn the solid briquettes into briquettes."

Seeing Xiao Yeyang's confused expression, he smiled and said: "It will definitely be better than these briquettes. If that young man really takes you to find the coal mine and makes this briquette, it will definitely be easy to sell."

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "Then I will wait for Madam to show off her skills."

......

After returning from buying horses, Xiao Yeyang began to go out early and come back late. If he went to the border army camp, he would sometimes stay away from home for several days.

The young man who offered to trade the coal mine for asylum was named Li Mancang. The day after he was taken to Ganzhou City by Defu, he took Defu, Bu Gandang, and a group of guards to find the coal mine.

On the third day of May, Daohua was instructing the mother-in-law and maidservants in the kitchen to make rice dumplings, when Guyu walked over quickly: "Girl, Defu and Butong are back."

Hearing this, Daohua turned around and was about to leave, but as soon as she took a step, she stopped and said to Guyu: "Just watch over here. The rice dumpling box should be delivered by the carpenter's shop in a while. You can pick it up."

Guyu nodded. She knew that these rice dumplings were all going to officials in Ganzhou City. It was a matter of Xiao Mansion's reputation, so she didn't dare to be careless at all.

When Daohua arrived in the front yard, she saw Defu, whose brows were filled with excitement. She suddenly had a guess in her heart: "Have you found the coal mine?"

Defu smiled and nodded: "Madam, that open-pit coal mine is on the Gobi Desert. It is very big. The master will definitely be very happy when he knows about it."

Daohua: "Gobi Desert? No wonder no one has discovered it."

The rest of Ganzhou Wei is vast and sparsely populated, let alone the Gobi Desert.

Daohua was also very happy to find the coal mine. Ganzhou Wei's financial expenses were huge, but there were not many sources of income, and there was no support from the court. For this reason, she often worried about Xiao Yeyang.

"Now that we have really found a coal mine, the Li family can't treat them badly. In this way, you can buy them a house in the city with a shop and a backyard."

"When the coal mines start mining, let them sell briquettes in the shops. In this way, the Li family can make a living."

Defu responded with a smile: "Madam is still thoughtful."

Daohua added: "I have asked the master of the blacksmith shop to make several grinding tools for making briquettes. Get me some coal powder and yellow soil, and I will teach you how to make briquettes."

"By the way, call the young man from the Li family."

Here in Xiliang, coal is also used not only in winter, but also at other times. The next day, Defu brought a pile of coal powder over.

She says it's the Daohua Cult, but in fact she just talks the talk, and the actual things are done by the servants.

I experimented with the ratio of coal and yellow mud several times, and the briquettes came out right away on the same day.

"After it dries, you can use it."

After Li Mancang saw the briquettes, he looked at Daohua excitedly: "Madam, this briquettes are much easier to use than the briquettes we usually use."

Daohua smiled and said: "That's natural." This is the crystallization of the wisdom of the working people.

Li Mancang immediately said: "Madam, from now on my store will be called a briquette store?"

Daohua smiled: "You said it's your store, so of course it's up to you to make the decision."
