Coal.
As far as Zhang Feng knew, apart from electricity, it was the best combustion-supporting material that could maintain a constant temperature, apart from natural gas and gas.
Zhang Feng would not dare to make it even if it was given to him now.
That thing could kill people.
Zhang Feng did not say anything else.
While waiting for Li Qian, he was also thinking of more ways to smelt steel.
There was another way, which was to hammer and smelt. However, there was not enough time.
The sword that Old Li had promised him had not been delivered yet, and he had not seen the person either. Needless to say, this old man was probably very busy right now.
If Zhang Feng couldn't come up with this within a month, then he wouldn't be able to get Emperor Yang's personal sword. Even if Old Li gave it to him, he wouldn't be able to do it.
This steel was something that he needed now.
Especially the gun.
After getting the Immortal Cream, Zhang Feng was eager to make it for self-defense.
It was not for anything else but to be safer when he went out in the future. Who knew how many pairs of eyes were watching him from below Xiao Mountain?
After a while, Li Chengqian arrived at the workshop breathlessly. The moment he entered the workshop, he could not stop wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.
As he wiped his sweat, he pulled Zhang Feng and ran out.
"Fengzi, let's go. Let's find a cool place. This place is too hot, isn't it?"
The five of them left the smithy and instantly felt comfortable all over.
Then, Li Chengqian asked, "Why are you looking for me? You made the steel? "
Zhang Feng shook his head and asked, "Let me ask you, have you heard of coal?"
Li Chengqian looked at Zhang Feng in surprise and nodded.
"That's easy. Get some people to get me ten carts of coal. I need it urgently."
Li Chengqian was a little confused. "Fengzi, do you know what that thing is for?"
"It's for burning. What can it do?"
Zhang Feng impatiently snatched the handkerchief from Li Chengqian's hand and wiped the black sweat on his forehead.
Li Chengqian felt a little heartache, but he couldn't care less.
Li Chengqian naturally knew about this coal, but only some people in the palace, as well as some high-ranking officials and dignitaries, could afford to use it. And at this time, where could he go to get it?
The weather was so hot, who was going to dig coal for him?
The most important thing was that this thing was not called coal now, but stone charcoal. Li Chengqian also guessed some things from the conversation with Ma Zhou on the way.
"Feng Zi, do you know that not everyone can afford to use this thing?"
Zhang Feng's face was full of question marks.
"F * ck, isn't it just a piece of rotten coal? You can't afford it? "
Li Chengqian felt a headache coming on. He pointed at Ma Zhou and said, "You tell him that I'm feeling a little suffocated."
Ma Zhou was also a little confused, but since Li Chengqian had spoken, he could only whisper, "Teacher, this thing, other than those in the palace and the various princes and ministers, there really aren't many people who are qualified to use it. Also, the price of the coal …"
"How much for a cart?"
Zhang Feng just remembered that this was the Tang Dynasty, not the future. In the future, a bag of anthracite only cost seventy yuan, but there were still many people who couldn't afford it.
Ma Zhou stretched out two fingers and made a peace sign.
"Two thousand strings of cash for a cart!"
"So expensive?"
Zhang Feng was also a little surprised.
"Li Chengqian, how much money do we have in the account now? Is it enough to buy ten carts?"
Li Chengqian sighed and looked at Zhang Feng as if he was looking at an idiot. "He said two thousand strings of cash for a stone!"
"And in this kind of weather, unless it's winter, there are no merchants selling this thing at this time. Most importantly, this thing is basically in the hands of the Taiyuan Wang Clan now … Even if the Emperor wants it, he has to send a letter in advance …"
Five surnames and seven hopes?
Zhang Feng's eyelids twitched when he heard this.
This was really difficult to deal with.
The Guanlong Eight Great Families controlled the trade routes, and the Five Surnames and seven hopes controlled all the mineral veins and grain industries in the Tang Dynasty. This matter was clearly recorded in history.
With a little hint, Zhang Feng instantly understood.
However, the matter of steel had already progressed to this point. Wouldn't it be a joke to give up at this time?
Moreover, this charcoal was really not good. It could be used to melt glass and other things, but if you want to refine steel?
Then you have to get coal.
Zhang Feng couldn't help but have a headache. .
He really didn't know that the control of coal mines in the Tang Dynasty was so strict.
Zhang Feng didn't give up and asked, "Apart from the Tang Dynasty, are there any coal mines in Tubo and Tuyuhun?"
"Yes, but now the situation in Tubo …"
"Then immediately ask your people to find a way to get me some coal. Anyway, I'll say it right here. Without coal, let alone a gun, I can't even make a spear that can break through anything!"
Li Chengqian was shocked.
Ma Zhou, Algernon, and Mokeado were also shocked at this time.
A spear that could break anything?
What was that?
Also, what was this Flamethrower?
Could it be that these two things that they had never heard of were the things that the dean talked about the other day?
They couldn't help but have a trace of fire in their eyes.
