Making coke is actually not difficult.
Yunchao cannot come up with the advanced and environmentally friendly methods of later generations, and there is no problem at all with local coking methods.
Build a closed kiln with refractory bricks, load bituminous coal into the kiln, and light a fire in a specially left opening on the side to ignite the coal in the kiln.
Then the kiln is closed, and the heat of part of the coal combustion is used to heat and retort the other coal in the kiln. After a period of time, the coal can turn into coke.
The method is very simple. Yun Chao just told the brick makers once and they knew how to do it.
Refractory bricks can be fired now, and it is not troublesome to build a special kiln for making coke.
With the coke available, Yunchao's steelmaking plan was put on the agenda.
After discussing with Tang Long for a long time, Yun Chao designed an earthen blast furnace based on the iron-making furnaces of the Dawu Dynasty.
However, I don’t know whether this theoretical blast furnace can withstand the test of practice.
After arranging everything, Yun Chao left Wolong Village.
Neither a coke kiln nor an earthen blast furnace can be built in a day or two.
Yun Chao has a lot to do, and it won't be too late to come back when coking and steelmaking officially starts.
Yun Chao returned to Qingyang County with Zhao Runchun.
On the way, Yun Chao repeatedly told Zhao Runchun: "Old Zhao, be sure to use the alcohol I gave you sparingly. The cost is too high, so don't take it seriously."
Zhao Runchun rolled his eyes at Yun Chao: "Yun Er, you are so stingy. Isn't it just a gourd of wine... Oh, there is half a gourd left. This is not enough for me to drink."
Yun Chao sneered: "Old Zhao, you can drink as much as you want, but don't blame me if you drink to death. By then, your precious daughter will have no biological father. Maybe I will find her a stepfather as soon as I am happy, and let her have a stepfather in the future." Beat your daughter and sleep with your wife.”
"Cloud! Two!"
Zhao Runchun gritted his teeth: "Do you think you can talk like that? I can live to be a hundred years old, but I can't die even if you die!"
Originally he didn't want to talk to Yun Chao anymore, but Zhao Runchun couldn't overcome his curiosity: "Why can't I drink your kind of wine...alcohol, is that stuff poisonous?"
Yun Chao shook his head: "It's not poisonous, but drinking it may burn your digestive tract."
Yun Chao didn't tell Zhao Runchun about alcoholism, and he didn't bother to explain so much. The old boy was too curious. If you just said one thing, he would ask a hundred questions. He was like a curious baby, which was really unbearable.
Zhao Runchun heard Yunchao talk about human anatomy and knew the concept of the digestive tract.
I heard that alcohol can even burn the digestive tract, and my curiosity suddenly came up: "Huh, I don't believe it! Yun Er, why don't you take a sip and try it. If you take a sip, I will believe what you say." .”
Yun Chao's nose almost turned crooked: "Haha, Lao Zhao, since you want to find someone to experiment with, why don't we go back now. Xiu Gu seems to be more interested in drinking recently, how about we let her have a taste?"
"you……"
When Yun Chao mentioned Zhao Xiugu, Zhao Runchun immediately fell silent.
I guess you have some talent, I will wait for you, sooner or later I will make you look good!
Well, except for harsh words, it seems that Zhao Runchun has nothing to do with Yun Chao now.
This damned, shameless Yun Er, who is being punished by the Heavenly Sword, even collects taxes from his own pharmacy. I really don’t want to be around anymore!
Zhao Runchun was determined not to let his precious daughter follow Yun Er. Now the two of them had not even exchanged a word, and the boy had already disowned him. If his daughter fell into his hands in the future, there was no doubt how she would be abused by him. Woolen cloth!
Yun Chao completely disowned his relatives in Qingyang County.
No matter who you are or what background you have, the tax you should pay cannot be less.
Yun Chao has long been prepared to evacuate at any time. Once a new county captain and county magistrate are sent from above, it is not certain who will have the final say in Qingyang County in the future.
After fishing and fishing, Yun Chao did not mess around, and everything was done according to the rules.
To this end, Yunchao also broke the monopoly of various dental stores, stipulating that no matter who they are, they have the right to do business freely, and opening shops does not require the approval of dental stores.
That's right, the business in Qingyang County and even Dawu Dynasty is such nonsense.
Not everyone who wants to do business can do it.
Unless you have to pick a pick and walk through the streets.
If you want to be a business owner, that is, open a shop, you must obtain the consent of the relevant dental firm.
Yaxing not only acts as a middleman, but also acts as a chamber of commerce.
For example, there are three grain stores in Qingyang County. If anyone wants to get involved, they must first obtain the consent of the three grain stores.
If the new grain store does not have a strong enough backend, it will be impossible for it to intervene, and it may even be swallowed up by the three original grain stores.
The business environment in the Dawu Dynasty was so bad. If you want to get ahead under the monopoly of Yahang, it will definitely be difficult for future generations to imagine.
After Yun Chao took control of Qingyang County, the first thing he abolished was the restrictions on business access.
It is stipulated that the dental shop can only act as an intermediary in the future, and it cannot monopolize it. If the buyer and the seller are willing, they can completely bypass the dental shop and go to the government to replace the deed.
For this reason, Yun Chao did not hesitate to offend the Ma family, which was related to Cai Xianggong, and even offended all the dental shops in Qingyang County.
Therefore, those who longed for Yun Chao's death were not only the government officials whose interests were seriously affected, but also most of the old businessmen in Qingyang County.
Of course, some people hope that Yun Chao will die, and some hope that Yun Chao will live a long life.
If the old vested interests suffer losses, of course there will be new vested interests.
The ordinary people in Qingyang County, the emerging businessmen, including the emerging farmers who were allocated land in Sanshui Town and Woniu Town, were grateful to Yun Chao, and wished that their beloved Yun Xingchang would always be healthy and live a long life!
Yun Chao is not a fool, and he will not do anything that is not beneficial.
He offended so many old forces for no reason. If he didn't get the support of the emerging forces, why did he put so much effort into it?
Therefore, when Yun Chao entered Qingyang County, he was immediately hailed as a hero.
When they heard that the cloud inspection was coming, the people on the road stepped aside one after another, stretched their necks and stared, desperately looking towards the end of the road, looking forward to the cloud inspection!
The people's love for Yun Chao far exceeded Yun Chao's imagination.
Seeing the cheering crowds on both sides, Yun Chao touched his nose in embarrassment.
The people in Qingyang County are good in every way, but there is one problem: they like to tell the truth too much.
Don't be obsessed with me, he is a legend.
Hey, hey, don't shout "Long Live", it's easy to get into trouble. Nine thousand years is enough...
Uh, nine thousand years old? How does it sound like your crotch feels cold?
To be honest, even the boys under Yun Chao were a little confused. Brother Chao had never walked on the street before, and the people at that time were not so enthusiastic.
How long has it been since then? Why have people's attitudes changed so much?
