Three Kingdoms: Faint King, starting from forcing Dong Zhuo to offer his granddaughter

For a while, the two admired Liu Bian even more.

"This is the briquette I invented."

Lin Wen picked up a briquette with tongs and showed it to everyone.

"coal?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

What is coal?

"Coal is nirvana." Zhang Xiu explained in a grand manner.

Liu Bian glanced at him indifferently,

As much as you know.

"Nirvana is a combustible stone, so I gave it a new name, coal."

"Detoxify it, grind it up, and then mix it with clay and make it into a honeycomb shape. That way more air can get in when it's burning."

Liu Bian explained.

Soon, someone will understand.

"With more air in, there's less gas, right?"

Xun Yu remembered that Liu Bian said just now that when Nirvana burns, it will produce two types of poisonous gas, one of which is caused by insufficient air.

"good."

Liu Bian glanced at him appreciatively.

"This one is a stove invented with briquettes."

Liu Bian went on to introduce the stove, "Add some easy-to-burn dry wood or debris at the bottom, and then put briquettes on top."

Liubai introduced while operating.

All the ministers were stunned.

"Of course, you can also put red-hot charcoal directly."

Liu Bian took some dry firewood into it and lit it with a match.

"Your Majesty, what are you holding in your hand?"

"It turns out that a light rub can ignite a flame!"

Everyone immediately noticed the match in his hand and was shocked.

Such a small wooden stick can actually ignite a flame!

Liu Bian was interrupted and was speechless.

"It's just a box of matches. Do you have to be so surprised? I'm just teaching you how to use a stove."

Baiguan is even more speechless,

"Your Majesty, am I not surprised that such a small thing can easily ignite a flame!"

As people of this era, they know how difficult it is to ignite a fire in this era.

Fortunately, it is sunny, and if you are lucky, you can light a fire in three to five minutes.

If you encounter rainy weather, lighting a fire can wear off a few layers of skin on your hands!

But just now, Your Majesty,

One wipe, one stroke,

呲——

The flames ignited, easily igniting the firewood next to it.

Things that you think are inconspicuous, in our eyes, are all artifacts!

"Your Majesty, can you give me one of the little wooden stick you lit just now?"

Cao Cao asked cautiously.

Others also looked forward to it.

"After all, you are my ministers, can you be a little promising?"

Liu Bian snapped angrily, "One is not enough, you can take this box."

One hundred bundles were rewarded last time, and there are a total of two thousand boxes, but Liu Bian has been useless.

"Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Cao Cao quickly held the match with both hands, overjoyed.

The others rolled their throats with envious expressions.

"Look, now the fire is lit."

Liu Bian put the briquettes up one by one, and opened the air inlet below to ensure sufficient oxygen inside.

"Your Majesty, won't there be any poisonous gas?"

Everyone asked curiously.

Of course, they were a little worried.

After all, the emperor is here, if the emperor is poisoned, it will be broken.

Liu Bian waved his hand, "Don't worry, it can be used not only for heating, but also for cooking and cooking, and boiling water in spare time. You only need to burn five to seven of these honeycomb briquettes a day. Not only is it convenient, but also Very economical."

So many functions?

Everyone seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and looked at the small stove in front of them again.

They approached the stove with their hands, and a rush of heat came to their faces.

"The heat dissipation effect is no worse than that of a brazier!"

"Indeed, if there is such a stove in the bedroom, it will be very warm."

"The important thing is that it can also be used for cooking and boiling water. If ordinary people use it, they can also save a lot of firewood."

"The most important thing is that there is no poisonous gas. You can use it with confidence, and you will never be afraid of being poisoned again!"

Zhou Yi said with emotion.

"Your Majesty is so wise that he invented such a fetish to benefit the people of the world!"

"On behalf of the world, thank you for your majesty's grace!"

"On behalf of the people of the world, I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Chapter 118 Unscrupulous businessman, poor boy for thousands of years

With the promotion of briquettes, the capital quickly set off a buying spree.

Everyone heard that the Son of Heaven was a divine object invented, which not only got rid of the poisonous gas of Nirvana, but also added many uses.

All full of expectations.

At this time, Liu Bian's prestige in Sili was higher than that of any generation of emperors.

The surrounding people worshiped the Son of Heaven extremely.

Especially in Luoyang city.

What made them even more grateful was that the nirvana hoarded by their family could also be exchanged for briquettes.

Therefore, almost everyone began to snap up briquettes.

Now the whole capital is talking about the benefits of briquettes.All the people in the city have basically become fans of Liu Bian.

When friends meet each other, they will say: "Honeycomb coal is really easy to use."

"Your Majesty has done another great deed for us common people!"

however,

Seeing the popularity of honeycomb coal, the big merchants in Luoyang city all had green eyes.

before,

Nirvana is very dangerous because of its poisonous gas, so they sell it at a relatively low price.

We can only obtain meager profits by volume.

When they learned that only a small change of shape was needed to make it so popular, they gathered together and started hoarding coal.

Soon, the price of coal in Luoyang City and the surrounding areas increased several times, and in some places even increased ten times.

Originally, one penny could buy five briquettes, but after being monopolized by merchants, it became one penny to buy one, or even two pennies to buy one!

What you need is what you need,

The common people are helpless.

Some poor families had no choice but to buy raw coal again and risked heating for heating.

The news quickly reached Luoyang Ling Zhouyi's ears.

"Hmph, these unscrupulous businessmen actually use His Majesty's invention to earn unscrupulous money from the common people!"

Zhou Yi slapped the table angrily.

"Father, don't be angry, it's not worth getting angry."

A boy of thirteen or fourteen brought him a cup of tea.

"Businessmen have been chasing profits since ancient times. How could they not seize such a good opportunity. Moreover, coal mines are basically monopolized by them. They can sell them at whatever price they want, and they don't have to buy them if they think they are too expensive."

The young man was very calm, as if he had already looked away from this matter.

however,

Zhou Yi couldn't be calm.
