Datang: Beat Tang Taizong violently at the beginning

Chapter 267 Charcoal!

"I'm a good boy, my eyes are not dazzled, these stones are all red after being brushed, like charcoal!"

Among a group of hunters, Er Gouzi's eyes widened suddenly, and he wanted to reach out to touch the ignited stones, but just as his fingertips touched these stones, Er Gouzi immediately swiped his palm and retracted his palm, bowing his head. Look, the finger has been scalded with a blister!
However, Er Gouzi didn't care about the blister on his finger at all, instead he shouted with even more surprise:
"It's lit, it's really lit, these black stones are really hot! His Royal Highness King Yan is really amazing!"

"You idiot, don't talk nonsense if you don't know. It is impossible for ordinary people, but is His Royal Highness Yan an ordinary person? This kind of alchemy is very difficult for others, but for Yan For His Royal Highness, I'm afraid it's just a piece of cake?"

Immediately, a middle-aged Orion slapped Er Gouzi directly on the head!

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Li Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny at the moment,
But he also felt a heavy sense of responsibility. The Nine Continents of the Tang Dynasty and the common people in this country are still too far away for him now, beyond his reach, and he can't control so much!

But Changwu County is now under his rule, so Li Mo has the responsibility to make the people of Changwu County no longer live in such poverty, and let the people of Changwu County live with more dignity!
"Okay, the trick that I want to show you is now over, but what I want to tell you is that this is not a trick. This kind of black stone is everywhere on Daqing Mountain, and each one is unique. They can be ignited, but they are buried in this big green mountain, buried under your feet!"

Li Mo suddenly said leisurely!
After Li Mo said this, he looked at each other in dismay. The black stone was ignited, but it was not the fairy art of His Royal Highness Yan, and from what His Royal Highness said, it seems that the mountains and plains are full of this kind of stones!
"But Your Highness, even if these black stones can be ignited, they are of no use to us. It is enough for everyone to burn firewood!"

Er Gouzi suddenly asked in doubt, Changwu County is surrounded by several green hills, burning firewood is not a problem at all!
"Yes, Your Highness, although these black stones can be ignited, they don't seem to have much effect on everyone!"

Immediately, someone echoed it again and again.

Li Mo was stunned for a moment, and then he was stunned. It really is the traditional Chinese small-scale peasant economy, where men farm and women weave, self-sufficient,

As long as there is a piece of land, it is enough for a family to reproduce and survive, basically there is no need to trade goods, and this is probably what all ancient rulers hoped to see!

"Everyone, haven't you discovered the use of these black stones?"

Li Mo couldn't help asking, wanting to see if there are any untapped talents among these farmers and hunters,

After all, Changwu County can be regarded as a treasure land. Except for Zhou Qing and Wang Peng, two talents who are worth over [-] in one item,
Li Mo, the Eight Great Vajras on Daqing Mountain, has also been detected by the system in the past few days.

That Hu San Dao's force value is as high as 88 points, which is close to the limit of a first-class military general. If he can further improve his saber technique, he may really be able to reach the level of a top military general with [-] points in his lifetime.

As for the other seven Vajras on Daqing Mountain, each force value is also between [-] and [-], which belong to second-rate generals, which is not easy!

But this time Li Mo was disappointed. The five thousand farmers and hunters look at me and I look at you.

His Royal Highness Yan's words made them completely confused. Although these black stones can burn, they really have no effect on them!
Li Mo looked at Wang Peng again,
Well, Wang Peng also looked at him very blankly, it seems that this guy is destined to only be able to light up the attribute value of warrior, and don't count on politics and strategy at all!

"Your Highness is saying?"

Wei Zheng's eyes were extremely bright, and he seemed to have fully understood what His Royal Highness King Yan wanted to do!

Li Mo nodded slightly, and was not surprised by this. How could Wei Zheng, a big shot at the double ninety level, not even see this, let alone Wei Zheng, I am afraid that even Zhou Qing would be able to understand it here !

"Your Highness, are you planning to sell these black stones to Chang'an?"

However, it was not Wei Zheng who broke the mystery of King Yan with a single word, but the female official of King Yan's mansion, Wu Meiniang, who was always behind Li Mo!

When Wu Meiniang said this, everyone immediately understood.

Yes, there is no shortage of firewood in Changwu County, but it does not mean that there is no shortage in Chang'an. Chang'an City has a population of one million, and the daily need for firewood and charcoal is an astronomical figure.
Now, since the black stone can be used as a substitute for firewood and charcoal, and its burning time seems to be longer than charcoal, why can't it replace the charcoal and firewood in Chang'an City?

"Meiniang, I remember you making a bet with me just now, if this king can ignite these black stones, then you will lose half a year's wages to me!"

But regarding Wu Meiniang's pretentious cleverness, Li Mo said it amusedly.

"Ah, Your Highness, isn't it only three months?"

Wu Meiniang immediately pouted and quit, her petite appearance was cute and charming, like a small doormat, but it made Li Mo laugh even more heartily:
"This king bet with you on half a year's wages, so naturally, if you lose, you will lose to this king's half a year's wages!"

Seeing Wu Meiniang's angry appearance, Li Mo's mood immediately improved!

"My brothers and sisters in Changwu County! This black stone can burn, and its burning time and efficiency are much higher than that of firewood and charcoal. This king calls it coal, and it can also be called coal!"

Carboniferous?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help nodding their heads again and again. His Highness King Yan called this black stone charcoal, which is quite reasonable indeed!
This black stone can burn like charcoal, isn't it just like charcoal?

And it's a stone, so it's called charcoal, which is naturally the most appropriate!

Li Mo's divine aura was fully activated, and he said in a deep voice, "I called everyone here to develop the Daqingshan Coal Mine!"

"Starting from today, the Daqingshan Coal Mine has officially started construction. You are all my Daqingshan Coal Mine workers. The main work content of the Daqingshan Coal Mine is to excavate these coals. For every five catties of carbon dug out, you will earn a copper coin!"

Li Mo suddenly said in a deep voice, these farmers and hunters on the mountainside looked at each other for a while, the people are stupid, but they are also the most shrewd, as long as it is related to their survival, they are extremely shrewd!
