Chapter 248

After the Wu family's affairs were over, the county returned to calm.

Mo Qingling sent the wooden box to the capital.

As for how to deal with it, it's none of his business.

Then he publicly found the iron ore and hired people to mine.

He still had the iron making prescription given by the emperor, and the Ministry of work sent two people to help.

Soon, an ironmaking workshop was built.

Shi Qingluo was wearing a sweater and a plush cloak made by her husband, but she still felt cold.

She found all the braziers used here.

With ordinary carbon, fireworks are big and choking.

You have to use silver carbon to avoid this problem, but it's cold to put a fire pot.

Put more braziers, and the cost is too high.

She held the stove and Xiao Hanzheng and squeezed them on the sofa. "Lao Xiao, let's find Mo Qingling and get some iron."

Xiao Hanzheng looked at her from the book and asked, "Why are you making iron?"

Shi Qing replied, "it's getting colder and colder to make a coal stove. It's suitable to use a basin without a coal stove."

Now there are also coal stoves with less carbon, which are made of mud or brick in the kitchen.

Iron sheet coal stove and honeycomb briquette are not available yet.

She added: "then we'll make some honeycomb briquettes. The cost is much cheaper than silver carbon."

"Let's build a table, that kind of coal stove. You can put your reading on the table, not only warm your whole body, but also warm your hands."

"There should also be one in the kitchen. Eat on the table and stove. The food is always hot and won't be cold at once."

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she should get the coal stove and honeycomb briquette out.

They are not only convenient, but also benefit the people.

Xiao Hanzheng knew that his daughter-in-law was afraid of the cold. Looking at the bright in her eyes, he put down the book and said with a smile: "OK, let's go to find Mo Qingling now."

He is used to such a winter, and his little daughter-in-law obviously doesn't adapt.

What else can I do? I have to spoil it.

Shi Qingluo gave him a big kiss on the face, "you're the best!"

They went to the county, and Mo Qingling was dealing with official business.

There was a brazier under the desk, wearing a sweater sent by Xiao Hanzheng and wool gloves on his hands.

The body and hands are much warmer than in previous years.

Hearing that they were visiting, he put down his official reception.

Sitting down and drinking a cup of hot tea, Shi Qingluo confessed his direct purpose.

Mo Qingling readily agreed when she heard that she wanted to build an iron coal stove with iron.

He decided to make a good man to the end. "There are many blacksmiths in our ironmaking workshop. You can draw a drawing of the iron coal stove you want to build, and I'll have someone build it for you."

Shi Qingluo smiled and nodded, "OK, please."

"I'll draw it now."

So Mo Qingling asked someone to prepare paper and pens. Shi Qingluo drew the square table iron coal stove he wanted.

She's a scrap metal.

She handed the drawing to Mo Qingling and asked, "I want to make more. Can I spend money on iron?"

Mo Qingling chuckled. "No, you offered the iron making prescription. After refining it by the Ministry of work, you found that this method has doubled the iron production than before, and the hardness and toughness of iron are higher."

"Making a few iron stoves is nothing compared to your credit."

The hardness of their weapons made of newly refined iron is twice that of the previous iron. The refined knives can also cut off the knives made of that kind of iron.

This made them all very excited. Just reported it, I believe the emperor will be happy and excited.

This is all the credit of Shi Qing's offering iron prescription.

Shi Qingluo saw that he was serious and had no affectation. "OK, thank you very much!"

Mo Qingling sighed after reading the drawings, "this kind of iron stove needs too much iron, otherwise it can be popularized if it is easy to use and saves coal."

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "this is what I want to make."

"This kind of stove can also be made into a simple sheet iron stove, with a layer of sheet iron outside and yellow mud inside. It's OK to add a chimney."

"You can walk around with your hand. If you don't have a chimney, you should always open the window for ventilation."

"Using honeycomb briquette can save coal and burn it."

Mo Qingling was ready to quickly build the iron coal stove that Shi Qingluo said, "OK, I'll let the people in the workshop come out and try it according to what you said."

He asked, "how to make honeycomb briquette?"

Shi Qing replied, "the key point is to make a mold for pressing honeycomb briquette."

She drew the mould for beating honeycomb briquette with paper, and wrote the method of making honeycomb briquette on paper.

"Just follow this."

Leave it to Mo Qingling. The efficiency will be much higher.

She'll just sit back and enjoy it.

In the Spring Festival, she had to accompany her husband to take exams in the capital and the capital. She didn't want to open another workshop by herself.

Moreover, the government now has strict control over iron, and it needs a lot of iron to make iron sheet furnace.

Even if Mo Qingling agrees to provide it, after they leave Xiaxi village, if someone takes advantage of it, or deliberately digs a trap to let the people in the workshop secretly get some iron to make weapons or something, it will be troublesome.

Therefore, this kind of livelihood is more suitable for the government.

Mo Qingling put away the paper and said with a smile, "when the tin stove and honeycomb briquette are ready, I'll send someone to ask you to come and have a look."

Shi Qing nodded, "thank you!"

Mo Qingling thought of a question, "by the way, buy me some sweaters, trousers and socks from your wool workshop."

He wants to buy some for his grandfather and grandmother.

As for the relatives of Hou's house, from grandma to Dad, there is only face left with him.

Shi Qingluo smiled and said, "no problem. Are you going to transport it to the capital?"

Mo Qingling nodded, "HMM."

Shi Qingluo said with a smile, "can you help me carry some to the capital? I was going to find a caravan in two days. If you want to transport, I'll ask you for help."

The wool workshop has only been open for a short time. The sweaters and trousers we knitted before are not exquisite.

So Shi Qingluo didn't rush to the capital.

Now that the women workers have started, they can make different patterns according to what she said.

In addition, Shi Qingluo thought about it and sent many sets to Xi Rong and others, so she delayed some time.

I still want to enter the county today. By the way, ask if there are any caravans in Beijing recently.

Mo Qingling came to the door.

Mo Qingling laughed: "no problem."

"But I may have to delay."

He shook the paper in his hand. "I'm going to make some honeycomb briquettes and iron coal stoves and send them to Beijing together."

The emperor naturally has one, and then the queen, the prince and his grandmother want to prepare one.

Although the things that Shi Qing left to him haven't been made yet, he doesn't think they are bad, so they must be applicable.

Hearing what he said, Shi Qing's eyes lit up. "Then I'll also build more than ten sets of iron and coal stoves to send people. You can help carry them together at that time."

It happened that she also wanted to send Xi Rong several iron coal stoves.

This kind of table stove is sealed with an air outlet. If the honeycomb briquette doesn't burn so fast, it won't be too hot. Playing mahjong on it is just right and your hands and feet are warm.

"Just exchange the paper in your hand, how about it?"

Give me the money. Mo Qingling probably won't want it either.

Anyway, her family can't open such a workshop. It's better to be a natural person and change it with a prescription.

The emperor can still write down a sum of money, which is very cost-effective.

Mo Qingling nodded and smiled, "OK, I'll explain it in the memorial."

This thing must let the emperor know that it is necessary to cross Ming Road.
