I am a child of Daqin Xiong, who supervises the country at the age of eight

Chapter 179
Indeed, Ying Zheng discovered a mystery of the stove.

That is, the burning stove does not seem to need to add any fuel into it.

For a moment, Ying Zheng couldn't help showing surprise, and he couldn't help saying with emotion.

"This stove is really good, but I don't know what kind of fuel it is, it can last so long, it can burn, and..."

With that said, Yingzheng stretched out his hand and tested the temperature near the stove.

Immediately, Ying Zheng felt a wave of scorching air coming from his palm. Seeing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sighed with emotion, and continued to open his mouth to Li Si who was at the side.

"The fire in this stove is quite hot, but I don't know what is burning inside..."

Ying Zheng said with emotion, but Li Si, who was on the side, focused his eyes on the chimney on the side of the stove, and then said to Ying Zheng.

"Your Majesty, please look here. There is another special feature of this stove. Its chimney can pass through the smoke. In this way, there will be no smoke in the house. I have to say that this design is quite wonderful!"

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help looking at the chimney.

The chimney is made of brass.

Seeing it, Ying Zheng couldn't help saying with emotion.

"If all the common people in the world can have such a stove, which can be used for heating, then no one in my Great Qin will die from the cold..."

"Your Majesty, it is not difficult for everyone to use this stove!"

Hearing this, Li Si looked at the copper stove and said to Ying Zheng beside him.

"This stove is made of copper. I think it should be out of aesthetic considerations. After all, black iron is not very elegant to be placed indoors. If ordinary people use this stove, then they don't need to care about these things! "

"So, ordinary people, you can buy an iron stove and use it for heating!"

"As for the iron stove, of course, the price will be quite cheap!"

Yes, iron stoves are compared to copper stoves.

The price is definitely much cheaper.

After all, iron is such a thing.

As many as you want.

On the other hand, copper is a thing.

So far in China, there are not many copper mines.

Huaxia itself is a copper-poor country.

For the moment, the cost of using iron is definitely lower than that of copper.

All I saw was that Ying Zheng's eyes lit up.

But immediately.

Ying Zheng sighed again, smiled awkwardly at Li Si, and said.

"Li Si, you and I are confused!"

"Your Majesty, are you?"

Li Si didn't know why, so he looked at Ying Zheng in surprise.

I don't understand why Ying Zheng said he was confused with himself.

At this moment.

Ying Zheng sighed and told the reason. Ying Zheng pointed at the stove and asked Li Si with a serious look on his face.

"Li Si, let me ask you, is it the furnace that our Daqin is lacking right now? Or is it the fuel that is burning inside the furnace?"

"This……"

A word from Yingzheng.

In an instant, Li Si woke up.

That's right, Daqin seems to have no shortage of stoves at all.

Ordinary people's homes don't have stoves.

Lighting firewood on the open space can also keep the family warm.

But the current Daqin.

The problem is that.

Not enough firewood to burn.

So, at this moment, he and Ying Zheng are here, arguing about the stove.

Simply, it is simply the opposite of the actual problem.

For a moment, Li Si's face darkened.

Just as Li Si was thinking about how to have a conversation.

Outside, there was a sound of footsteps coming in. Immediately, I saw Xiao He walking in with big strides. Behind him was a waiter who was carrying a hot pot and dishes.

But seeing, after Xiao He came in.

First, he directed a waiter to take out a fire tongs from a bamboo basket, and then opened the lid on the stove, revealing the burning things inside the stove.

All I saw was that what was burning inside the stove was a round, carbon-like object with many holes on it.

At this time, when Dan saw the waiter, he quickly took out all the round black carbon-like objects that were burning in the stove, and took out the bottom piece, which was already burning white black carbon, and gave it to the direct Put it into the bamboo basket.

Then, using tongs, put all the remaining coals into the stove in the original order.

At this time, the little girl was in the surprised eyes of Ying Zheng and Li Si.

Take out a piece of new charcoal from the pile of new charcoal in the bamboo basket, and then align it with the hole on the honeycomb coal in the stove, and put the coal in place.

This scene showed the shock on Ying Zheng's face.

He didn't think so.

In this world, there is such an exquisite design.

At this time, Xiao He directed the people to put the hot pot on the stove, and then, Chao Yingzheng and Li Si said.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, you two, please have a meal!"

"No rush, no rush!"

Ying Zheng shook his head again and again, with a look of curiosity on his face, he asked Xiao He in front of him.

"What is this burning thing?"

"How long can one piece burn?"

"What is the price of this piece of charcoal?"

"Your Majesty, are you interested in this?"

When Xiao He heard it, he couldn't help showing surprise. He pointed to the copper stove, and then asked Ying Zheng.

Seeing Li Si, he said impatiently.

"Your Majesty is really curious about this, so tell me what you know one by one!"

"promise!"

Hearing this, Xiao He didn't dare to be negligent, he reported truthfully.

"Your Majesty, this stove is actually an invention of the Nineteenth Prince. As for what is burning inside? I don't know, but it seems to be dug out from the ground..."

"Then, after the mold processing, this thing is formed!"

"But having said that, this thing is very resistant to burning. One piece can be burned for one or two hours. After a day, it is at most five or six pieces of carbon. At night, the hole outside the fire is sealed and replaced with two pieces of carbon. A piece of new carbon can make this fire-resistant, and it will not go out overnight!"

Xiao Hechao won the government, talking eloquently.

heard here.

Ying Zheng couldn't help but feel that this briquette is a good thing.

Morally, its light weight.

Second.

It is also economical to use.

At the end of the day, it's just a few yuan.

It's so easy.

You know, if it's burning wood.

It takes time, someone is watching from the sidelines, and then go to add firewood.

But now, this briquette has nothing to do with it.

I saw that Ying Zheng continued to ask questions.

"What about the price of this item?"

"I don't know the price..."

Xiao He shook his head.

He knew nothing about this matter. Hearing this, Ying Zheng turned his gaze to Li Si who was at the side.

I saw Li Si murmured in a low voice.

"Since this thing is mined from the ground, it is probably worthless, and the cost shouldn't be too high, right?"
