Chapter 283 Black Charcoal, the Emperor is Angry

After leaving the academy, Shen Xiangwan took No. 3 out of the space under the pretext of going out. He would then personally teach those people surgical skills. Although he was not a human, no one should be able to tell unless they looked closely. Moreover, apart from teaching those people, she had no plans to let him come into contact with more people.

That afternoon, the two small tiled houses next to the main house were cleared out. One was used for teaching, and the other was temporarily occupied by No. 3. He would stay outside for the time being before teaching those people medical skills.

"He is number three. From today on, he will teach you surgical skills."

The next day, Shen Xiangwan got up early and personally introduced No. 3 to the rest of the people.

"Yes."

No one dared to object, and they all bowed at the same time. Shen Xiangwan glanced at them one by one, and asked someone to hand out the printed book to them: "This records all the medical knowledge related to surgery. Take a look when you have nothing to do. There will be exam questions on the third of every month, and I will also randomly test you from time to time. Whether you can stay until the end depends on whether you are willing to work hard."

"Yes."

Hearing this, everyone's eyes uncontrollably looked at the booklets distributed to them, secretly warning themselves that they must work harder next time, otherwise, they might be the ones sent back to the dental clinic one day.

"Number three, I leave it to you."

Retracting her gaze from them, Shen Xiangwan nodded to No. 3. A loud drum does not need a heavy hammer, and she believed that they were not stupid.

"Yes, Master."

With one hand across his abdomen, No. 3 was just like No. 1, gentlemanly and respectful.

"Ah."

Shen Xiangwan looked at the medical children again before leaving with Yuan Yue and Yuan Ying. No. 3 clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention to himself before starting to teach them. He did not teach them medical skills right away, but first explained to them what surgical skills were, and then slowly guided them into the field of surgical knowledge.

"What is this pulling?"

As soon as Shen Xiangwan and the others stepped out of the classroom, they saw Yuan Zhengzheng directing a dozen horse-drawn carriages to the backyard. Each carriage was carrying a mountain of sacks, and they all looked black, so there was no way they could be food or anything.

"lady."

Turning around and seeing her, Yuan Xiu smiled and said, "It's black charcoal. Didn't you tell the Second Master and the others about the smelting technology that black charcoal can make the temperature of the furnace higher and more stable? We have collected a lot of black charcoal in the past few months. I think it should be better than charcoal for burning glass, so I sent more than a dozen trucks of black charcoal over."

Their glass business was getting bigger and bigger. The caravans would buy in large quantities every month. Under Cheng Yusheng's control, they also sold a lot of it domestically. The money flowed into their pockets like water. If the development expenses of the army and people's livelihood had not been so high, they would have already been sitting on mountains of gold and silver.

"Do you collect a lot of black charcoal?"

While asking, Shen Xiangwan walked forward and opened one of the sacks, and took out a palm-sized piece of black charcoal, or coal, from it. She had only written it casually at the time, but she didn't expect that they actually found it, and it seemed that the quantity was quite large.

"A lot, indeed."

Nodding, Yuan Xiu further said: "We found several black charcoal mines in Da'an County, all of which are open-air. We collected an endless amount without much digging. Unfortunately, the smoke from burning this thing is poisonous, and it can only be used for smelting. If it can be used in life, there won't be so many people freezing to death in winter." "Who told you that black charcoal can't be used in life?"

Raising an eyebrow at him, Shen Xiangwan put the coal back and continued while wiping his hands, "Not all black charcoal produces smoke. There is also smokeless charcoal. And, even if there is smoke, so what? As long as it is used with the corresponding stove, black charcoal can completely replace charcoal."

The role of coal is far more than they can imagine.

"Really?"

If this is the case, they will have to pay attention to the mining of black charcoal.

While Yuan Xiu was seeking confirmation, he was already thinking about how to increase the efforts in charcoal mining.

"I will sort out the information related to Heitan first, and then draw a few drawings of the stove. I will ask Yuanyue and the others to give them to you later."

Anything that benefits the people is an opportunity for them to win their hearts, and Shen Xiangwan naturally won't miss it. Don't blame her for being calculating in everything she does. There is no conflict between benefiting the people and winning their hearts, right?
"it is good."

Yuan Xiu nodded with a smile on his face. They had tried it and found that black charcoal was much easier to use than charcoal and was very durable. If the problem of toxic smoke could be solved, it would definitely benefit the people. It would not be impossible to directly replace charcoal with black charcoal in the future.

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. I'm going back."

Without disturbing him any more, Shen Xiangwan turned around and took Yuanyue and Yuanying into the yard. The weather in October was already a bit chilly. Zhao Yuping and the others were gathered in the main room to help them make winter clothes. Shen Xiangwan didn't understand anything and didn't join in the fun. She said a few words to Yuanying and the others and went back to her room alone. She wanted to find No. 1 to sort out the information about coal.

Imperial City, Imperial Palace.

"bump!"

The emperor in dragon robe slapped the dragon table hard, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were waiting on the side knelt down in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Get out, get everyone out of here."

Pointing his finger at the door, the emperor shouted sternly. He was not a good-tempered king, especially when he was angry, he looked particularly scary. The eunuchs and palace maids were so scared that they trembled and almost stumbled out.

"Are you sure that everything said here is true?"

When only he and Xu Hui were left in the imperial study, the emperor picked up the letter that the other party had presented to him not long ago. It actually said that Wei Chengyi had already taken control of the military power of Chenzhou and was recruiting soldiers in a big way. He might very well be plotting a rebellion. How could it be possible? Were the garrison commander and prefect of Chenzhou all idiots? How could they allow an exile to control the military power?
"This is what Elder Hu and his group sent back. It should be true."

Xu Hui raised his head to look at him and replied stiffly, not to mention the emperor, he was also shocked when he saw the content above and couldn't believe it at all. In just a few months, Wei Chengyi had already taken control of the military power in Chenzhou, and was preparing to expand them to a scale of more than 100,000 people again. The most important thing was that they had only received the news now. Wei Chengyi's ability was too terrifying. No wonder the emperor was determined to kill him at all costs.

"bump!"

The emperor slammed his fist on the dragon table again, his well-maintained face full of distortion and gloom. Why, why did he let him go so easily? Otherwise, how could he have grown to the point where even he couldn't easily shake him?
