Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 545 Subtle transformation

  A gust of autumn wind blew by, blowing down a few leaves, curling up and lingering past Fei Qian. For a while, the scene was extremely deserted...

  Pang Tong cast a slanting glance, then shook his head with a look of resentment.

   "Uh... this, did I do something wrong?" Fei Qian was a little stunned.

  Pang Tong said slowly: "It's not that I did something wrong, but I did it too right."

  Fei Qian blinked, shook his head, and said, "Anyway, I still have to say what I have to say, then, after I've finished speaking, I should go..."

  Fei Qian has considered these things for a long time, but finally decided to make it clear.

  This is Fei Qian’s experience in dealing with people in later generations, and it may be somewhat inconsistent with the habits of the Han Dynasty. The more friends you have, the more you need to make it clear.

  Just like a 50:50 two-person joint-stock company is the easiest to get into all kinds of mutual wrangling and disputes, the friendship between friends is a catalyst for promotion, and it can also easily become a poison that destroys everything.

  Brother, settle accounts clearly. The clearer the account is, the longer the brother will do it, and once he is confused, the brother will not be able to do it for long.

  In the Han Dynasty, forcibly taking people away, and then counting on the other party's Stockholm Syndrome attack?

  Taking advantage of the time when Pang Tong, Guo Jia, Tian Feng, Zhuge Liang, etc. have not taken refuge in others, they kidnapped and took away? Haha, the men in the Han Dynasty mostly read the authentic works of Confucius. It is the most basic cognition to repay the straight with the straight, and to repay the grievance with the grievance. Killing people with a knife is not something a butcher would do.

   Unless it is under house arrest for life, once given a chance...

  Especially for wise counselors, it is not too easy to easily lead people into the ditch. Chen Gong incited the rebellion in Yanzhou with a few words, and Jia Xu took care of the powerful Dian Wei and Cao Ang with a single sentence.

  Cao Cao used Xu's mother to win Xu Shu. Xu Shu may not have known that even if he went to Cao Ying, his mother might not live long, but in the end he chose to be worthy of his heart and relatives, and left Liu Bei to go to Cao Ying.

  The result is not that Xu Shu didn't offer advice in Cao Ying, but that Xu Shu and Cao Cao are both smart people, and they both understand the distrust between each other, so it's better not to say it.

   Therefore, when Xu Shu volunteered to go to a remote area when he was in Chibi, Cao Cao was overjoyed, and immediately boasted in front of everyone, and then sent Xu Shu away at Xingye...

It's not that Cao Cao really believed in the rumors, nor was he happy because Xu Shu took the initiative to offer advice, but that he had an aboveboard reason to throw this unsightly, unsightly time bomb that could explode at any time far to the northwest frontier. Sending a side general can make Xu Shu look dead on, how can he not be happy?

Because Fei Qian felt that Pang Tong, Zaoyi, Xu Shu, and Tai Shiming were more or less friends who really lived together, communicated, and collided with each other in the Han Dynasty. If they didn’t speak clearly, they felt uneasy. It's up to personal preference.

   Otherwise, even if it is rhetoric or coercion, it may not be able to get the desired result in the end.

   Fei Qiangong cupped his hands, then turned and left.

  Pang Tong put down the scroll in his hand and asked, "When are you going to return to Bingzhou?"

   "In two days, I still have some things to do in Huangjiayinyuan..."

  Pang Tong let out a sigh, and lazily read the book again.

   "By the way," Fei Qian raised his voice from a distance, "... I guess someone younger and smarter than you will come after a while, remember to say hello for me..."

  Pang Tongtong was stunned, and then he gave a confident "cut", and said loudly: "If someone really comes, he will definitely greet him, but he is smarter than me... Hehehe, hehe..."

   "...Believe it or not...it's up to you..." Fei Qian waved his hand and left.

  ××××××××××××××

  In the study room of Huangjiayinyuan, Fei Qian and Huang Chengyan sat facing each other.

   On the table between the two people, there is a wooden box. The wooden box seems to be divided into many grids, and there are some things in each grid.

   What Fei Qian said needs to be dealt with in the Huang family is craftsmen.

  Paper making, cast iron, and equipment making, basically, Feiqian needs all of them, and they are all in urgent need.

  Huang Chengyan's eyes lingered on the items in the wooden box, and an unspeakable brilliance shone in his eyes, like a wine lover seeing a jar of fine wine, or a lecherous man seeing a beautiful woman...

  Huang Chengyan himself is also very familiar with craftsmen, so when Fei Qian put the wooden box brought by this long journey in front of him, he attracted Huang Chengyan.

  Inside the wooden box are all kinds of minerals collected by Fiji in Bingzhou.

  The most obvious of these are two, coal mines and iron ore.

As early as the Qin Dynasty, coal began to enter the field of vision of the Central Plains people, but because the original coal mines rarely contained a large amount of impurities, especially sulfur, it was easy to produce a large amount of black smoke after burning, which was disliked by the ancients. So it is still mainly charcoal.

  Another reason why coal has not received enough attention is that the combustion is not easy to control. It is not like adding a few firewood or charcoal to obviously control the size of the flame.

  But what Feiqian is currently packing in the wooden box is a coal block after the first rough processing, that is, a small piece of briquette, mixed with some clay and lime.

   This is the simplest and most convenient great invention of using coal.

  The other is iron ore.

  There are even a small amount of copper mines around Luliang Mountain...

   Mica.

  Limestone.

   These ores filled the entire wooden box.

  For Huang Chengyan, this wooden box is even more attractive than those filled with gold and silver treasures.

  Huang Chengyan took out the small honeycomb coal, held it in his hand and looked closely: "This thing is...coal?"

  People in the Han Dynasty still liked coal, especially coal essence, also known as coal jade, and some people even used natural coal essence to make seals, basically on the same status as colored glaze.

   But ordinary coal powder, not many people pay attention to it.

   "How to make this thing?" Huang Chengyan asked.

   Feiqian said: "The coal is crushed and washed, precipitated, finely divided, added with yellow mud, clay, lime, and charcoal powder for extrusion molding..."

Huang Chengyan called out, asked the servant to fetch a brazier, and immediately put the small briquettes in the brazier to ignite on the spot, and then watched quietly, as if something was following the flames of the briquettes in his eyes. jumping.

  Huang Chengyan said solemnly: "How many people know how to make this thing?"

   This kind of thing, although simple, is often overlooked by people.

Coal, for a long period of time, has been burned in the form of cinders, briquettes, etc., which is not only difficult to burn, but also produces carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide due to incomplete combustion. .

  After adding some combustion aids and desulfurizers, and because of the porous structure of the honeycomb, the air circulation is guaranteed, and the combustion is naturally more complete, and the sulfur dioxide is also calcified during the combustion process...

   Fei Qian said: "Pingyang's workshop, which involves minerals and equipment, is in charge of Huang Dou... Now that there are so many things, he is also a little overwhelmed, and has lost a lot of weight..."

  Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile, "Okay!"

ah? Is it okay to lose weight? What does this mean? Could it be that Huang Chengyan also has the potential to be skinny?

   At the gate of Xun Lingjun’s big tent...

   …

   Xun Yu: Feng... Feng Xiao...why suddenly remembered that I was looking for Yu...to sleep with...

   …

   Guo Jia looked left and right, nodded affirmatively, and said: Wen Ruo, you really don’t have mosquitoes here... Mosquitoes are the most annoying when I sleep...

   …

   As a result, Guo Jijiu sat at the door of Xun Lingjun's big tent with a dazed face...
