After the whole sect traveled to ancient times, I led the rebellion

The weather was getting colder, and Mu Qing tightened his sleeves.

She felt the chill, and suddenly thought of something, so she strode towards the factory.

The number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased.

In the Tianchi Dynasty, there were many poor people, and many poor people froze to death in the winter.

In Chinese history, cotton did not become widely used until the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

No matter how many clothes people wore before the Song and Yuan dynasties, they were not very resistant to cold.

In this world, Mu Qing actually ignored this point. She had been wearing multiple layers of clothing since she was a child, and there was charcoal fire in the house in winter so she didn't have to suffer from the cold.

The people of Xiaoniu Village are close to Shengjing and also have charcoal fire to get through the winter.

But Anping is not.

While the rich wine and meat smell, the road with frozen bone.

The severe cold in winter can freeze people to death. In the past, people had no food to eat and in order to eliminate hunger, they would go out less, which made winter very unbearable.

Such a winter without food is even more tormenting.

The people of Anping are doing better now that they have food after they started working.

However, as winter approaches, people don't have many sets of clothes throughout the year. They may only have two to four sets of clothes to change in the summer and spring and autumn.

The price of charcoal in Anping has increased, and there are still many people who cannot afford it.

In order to avoid freezing to death, Mu Qing planned to start burning charcoal.

Charcoal is a dark brown or black porous solid fuel remaining after incomplete combustion of wood or wood raw materials, or pyrolysis in an air-tight environment.

The raw materials are all available. There are dense hardwoods such as oak and willow around Anping.

Such hardwoods can make high-quality charcoal.

There are two methods of making charcoal: one is kiln firing.

Pile the wood in the charcoal kiln, light the kiln door, leave ventilation holes, and allow the wood to carbonize in the charcoal kiln.

The other is dry distillation, which is wood distillation.

According to the way charcoal is extinguished, there are two types of products: white charcoal and black charcoal.

After the wood is carbonized, remove the charcoal while it is red hot.

The charcoal comes into contact with the air outside the kiln and is refined by utilizing the high temperature of the combustion of the volatiles generated by pyrolysis. It is then covered and smothered with wet sand or the like. This step is called the extinguishing method outside the kiln.

The charcoal obtained is white charcoal.

During the flameout process, the charcoal comes into contact with the air and is calcined. The outside of the charcoal is oxidized, and white ash is attached to the surface after burning.

This is why white charcoal gets its name. White charcoal needs to go through two carbonization processes.

Black carbon compared to white carbon.

Black charcoal produces smoke when it burns, while white charcoal does not.

Moreover, white charcoal is harder than black charcoal, burns longer and is pollution-free.

Mu Qing chose to make white charcoal. As soon as she arrived at the base, she reassigned some of the workers from the coking plant.

Let these workers make a batch of charcoal today. There is no plan for the production site of the charcoal factory, so we can make charcoal in the coking plant first and use the workers in the factory at the same time.

The complete combustion of charcoal with oxygen produces carbon dioxide, while incomplete combustion produces toxic gas carbon monoxide.

This point must be emphasized to the people when selling charcoal. While keeping warm, we must also pay attention to ventilation.

Mu Qing, who almost forgot about the charcoal, personally supervised the formation of the charcoal kiln and began to burn the first batch of white charcoal.

The winter is getting closer.

Mu Qing wished he could be split into two halves. In addition to keeping warm, the production of ready-made clothes also had to be put on the agenda.

She rotates back and forth between the factory and the experimental base.

By the time the charcoal-making process was almost mature, the cold winter had already arrived.

Despite the severe cold in Anping, Mu Qing has not seen heavy snow yet.

The first batch of charcoal produced before the cold winter was put on sale in shops at low prices.

With the promotional activities held by several previous shops, there were still activities on the first day of the charcoal shop’s opening.

The opening of the charcoal shop has impacted the charcoal business of several charcoal merchants.

Mu Qing did not make things too difficult for them. He provided them with charcoal supplies from Anping and allowed them to sell the charcoal to villagers in various counties.

The prices are controlled by the government, so they can make some money, and even if the volume is large, the profits will go up as well.

The model of the Jenny loom was made a long time ago, and Mu Qing went to the base every other day.

As soon as Mu Qing opened the door, he saw Wanqi Ziye sneeze.

Wanqi Ziye grabbed a piece of tissue.

Now the disciples from the Mohist School and the Gongshu family are the main consumers of the paper shop.

There are not many wealthy businessmen in Anping. After Li County, Shi County and Mingde County were wiped out, there are not many sellers who can afford consumables such as paper towels.

Wanqi Ziye casually threw the tissue into the trash can.

Mu Qing is about the same age as Wanqi Ziye in this world, but every time Wanqi Ziye sees Mu Qing, he avoids her like a cat seeing a mouse.

As soon as Wanqi Ziye saw Mu Qing out of the corner of his eye, he pretended to be unwell.

"Sister, I feel like I have a cold. I'll take a leave and go home first, and come back tomorrow."

Wanqi Ziye smiled earnestly.

Wanqi Zixi saw him full of energy just now, but just a moment later, he caught a cold.

Wanqi Zixi turned around thoughtfully and met Mu Qing's smiling face.

Wanqi Zixi sighed inwardly, "As expected."

Mu Qing walked up to the two of them. Wanqi Ziye saw that he had not asked for leave, so he sat on the chair with a look of resentment, as if all his energy had been sucked out.
