"But young master, let's go there to find the empty bamboo in the middle? Besides..." Lao Zhong was a little embarrassed. He could understand Zhang Yi's meaning, but he felt it was a little difficult to meet the conditions mentioned by Zhang Yi.

The third uncle was not the case. The two old eyes kept looking at the roof, then looked at the chopsticks in Zhang Yi's hand, and finally said, "I guess it will be successful! Even if there is hollow bamboo, it will not be useful!"

While saying that, he stood opposite Zhang Yi, pointed to the table and said to the old Zhong, "Butler Zhong, look! This is the cigarette outlet. Although there is no direct flame, the temperature is definitely not low. If it is made of bamboo or hollowed-out wood, I will definitely be burned. If that is the case, the house can be burned!

But I have a way here. Do you think it is true?”

Locked, the third uncle found two tiles at the door and smiled at Zhang Yi and said to Zhang Yi: "Brother, look, what if we make these tiles into two semicircles and connect them like bamboo joints? As long as the gap is sealed tightly with clay, and then the outside is tightly wrapped with bamboo strips, we will no longer be afraid of the fire, and the thick smoke in the stove can also lead to the outside along this hole!"

This is Zhang Yi's turn to be stunned!

I never thought that! The method that the third uncle came up with was exactly the same as the chimneys in later generations! If it weren't for sure that the third uncle was a native of the Tang Dynasty, he would even think that this master had also traveled through time from later generations.

Just because of his actions, I can't even admire him!

Zhang Yi immediately gave a thumbs up to his third uncle and praised: "It must be successful! Third uncle, if you fail this method, I'm afraid there is no other way to use it! But we have to see if there is charcoal there to make the chimney. If the amount is small and not enough to burn, no matter how good the method is, it will be useless!"

Although that's the case, Zhang Yi was thinking in his heart that even if Jingyang has no coal, there must be no such thing as the entire Guanzhong realm. It should not be difficult to ask someone for information.

If you can buy one or two hills with open-pit coal mines first and then find someone to dig coal, the profit will be quite good!

Although it is impossible to monopolize the entire coal market, once the use of coal is a failure and when every household starts to use coal, wealth is basically a matter of being able to get it.

For example, coal stoves, honeycomb coal, and iron kettles that specialize in boiling hot water... It won’t work even if you don’t want to make money!

I was thinking about whether to go directly to Shanxi or not, but I heard the third uncle laughing and said, "Brother, isn't the charcoalite on the back mountain? Not only does it have it, but there are also a lot of it. The foundation chosen by Sun Shenxian's monastery before was replaced with the current mountainside because there was a lot of charcoalite. As long as there are people, it's easy to want charcoalite!"

When Zhang Yi heard the third uncle talk about Taoist temples, he remembered why he was so familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

The reason is that when Zhang Yi went to the Taoist temple, he had seen this thing before!

As the third uncle said, the Taoist temple was originally planned to be built on the top of the mountain, so he followed him at that time and told Sun Simiao that the location was quite good, and the sun could be watched from the sunrise in the morning and the waters of the Jingyang River could be heard at night.

It was at that time that Zhang Yi saw a piece of coal the size of a palm!

But it's just a glance, and because the coal is very small, I have never thought about this.

But after hearing what my third uncle said, it was actually an open-pit coal mine!

You should know that the difficulty of collecting open-pit coal mines is much lower than that of underground coal mines, and it is also very safe. As long as someone keeps digging with tools and transporting them back, it is fine. This way of collecting is almost no different from picking up!

"Old Zhong, is that mountain ours owned?" Zhang Yi couldn't help it, so he hurriedly asked Lao Zhong.

"Young Master, it's not our family!" Old Zhong shook his head and said, "There is actually no master in that mountain! If there is, it's Your Majesty!"

Zhang Yi immediately wondered, how could such a good mountain have no owner?

Seeing Zhang Yi a little puzzled, the third uncle smiled and said, "That's right, not only that mountain, but many mountains are barren mountains without people! Master, don't look at the large territory of the mountain, you can't actually grow crops at all. First, there are often wild animals in the mountains to slap crops, and secondly, it is also a problem to grow grain and water irrigate.

The mountain is high and the road is slippery. Before I could pick up the water, I spilled half of it. Then the remaining half can only wet the butt. The bra is so big that there are almost only three or five hunters who are like Sun Shenxian. What are you doing in such a place?"

After listening to the third uncle's explanation, Zhang Yi calmed down.

Since the mountain has no owner, everything is very easy to do. Just find a reason to spend a little money to buy it from the county government. I believe that the county magistrate will not be difficult for him, right?

What's more, I am generating income for the county government. Although this cannot be included in the evaluation of the county magistrate, it is also a qualification to be able to exchange a barren mountain with almost no output for a copper coin and hand it over to the court.

After making up his attention, Zhang Yi immediately ordered Lao Zhong: "Tomorrow, you will take your young master's letter to the county magistrate and buy that mountain for our family! Whether he wants silver or copper coins, we don't bargain, just buy it in one word!"

As he said that, Zhang Yi looked at his third uncle again and said with a smile: "Uncle San, you have also helped inquire these two days. There are such charcoal in other mountains in Jingyang. If there is one, just let someone tell Lao Zhong directly and we will buy them all!"

"Finish!" The third uncle nodded immediately and said to Zhang Yi: "Tomorrow I will ask someone to find charcoal in the mountains of four or five miles. As long as our method has not been spread, I guess it can be bought at a lower price!"

Although he needed to replace firewood, he seemed to be better than firewood. Even because of Zhang Yi's statement, he realized the profit inside.

If the chimney is really useful, then you will definitely make a lot of money this time. At that time, the farm is not rich?

Zhang Yi naturally did not dare to lower the price to buy the mountaintop. It was because the profit was too great and he was unsure!

You know, the interests of coal are quite good. Then, he, a little count, would compete with those big bosses? Not to mention Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui's old sharks, even if two families of aristocratic families came out casually, they would be able to squeeze him tightly!

The price is the most criticized thing. If the pressure is too low, it will often be a real evidence of impeachment. If a hat of competing for profit with the people is taken away, Zhang Yi will not be able to hold it!
