C52 Amazing reserves
Zhao Fengnian watched as a group of blacksmiths entered the shop to start their construction, then turned to Wang Fenglin and said: "Elder Wang, take care of this area when you have free time, you can choose a shop here to display the new grade wood tools, the decorations inside will be arranged in accordance to the style of the aristocrats' homes."
Wang Fenglin earnestly listened to Zhao Fengnian's instructions, and recorded all of the important points that Zhao Fengnian had said.
When he heard that he needed to give himself a shop to use, Wang Fenglin smiled so much that his eyes narrowed.
Looking at the desolate street in front of him, Zhao Fengnian concluded that this would definitely become the most bustling place in the territory in the future.
After giving out instructions, almost two hours had passed. The coal in the stove had already been completely burnt away, leaving only a thin layer of ash at the bottom of the stove. This also included a part of the wood that had been burned.
Zhao Fengnian slightly nodded his head. The quality of this coal was very good and it had been burning for a long time.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Fengnian woke up early and brought Tao An and to the place where the coal was discovered.
That place was not far to the west of the black iron mine, and was practically right next to it.
Very quickly, the three of them arrived at the place. Zhao Fengnian got off the carriage and looked out, only to see a vast wasteland filled with people, extending all the way to the vast mountains.
The whole area was covered with snow, and from time to time, patches of black rock could be seen lying naked in the snow.
Zhao Fengnian closed his eyes as he sat in the carriage, and used his consciousness to scan his surroundings...
Indeed, in front of him appeared a dense cluster of weak light spots. The appearance of these light spots covered a large area, extending all the way until an underground area that he could not detect.
After opening his eyes, Zhao Fengnian instructed the two to continue driving the horse carriage. During this time, he maintained a probing state with his eyes closed.
At this time, Zhao Fengnian seemed to have entered a sea of light. Aside from the upper layers of soil and rocks, the ground was filled with densely packed light spots.
Time quickly passed and more than two hours had gone by. The scene that Zhao Fengnian's consciousness was investigating was still the same as before.
Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and Zhao Fengnian opened his eyes and looked ahead.
They had already traveled a long distance, and were only a few steps away from the outer regions of the territory. Because they were relatively close to the vast mountains, wild beasts would frequently appear there.
Furthermore, the further one walked, the harder it became. There was snow everywhere, and there were no more roads.
Zhao Fengnian looked at the vast mountains in the distance, then turned his head to look at the direction they were leaving in, where they were no longer visible, the carriage was moving in an arc, so the large area that the carriage was passing through, was all shallow coal mines, and there were probably more places that he could not find.
Zhao Fengnian became excited. This was a huge sum of wealth, and in such an open field, the output would definitely be astonishing.
Although the world knew very little about coal as a fuel and there was not much demand for it, it believed that over time, this kind of fuel, which was of good quality and cheap value, would be known by everyone.
Even if no one was willing to, using coal as fuel was much cheaper than charcoal. Charcoal was not cheap in the northwest, and was usually only used by noble families.
