The girl traveled through another world and forced the prince to take the imperial examination

The soldiers, with their arms and legs broken, carried Sun's body back to Yongkang County. When County Magistrate Yu saw Sun's body, he almost fainted.

"Rebellion, rebellion! These bold and unruly people are rebelling! They even dare to kill officials appointed by the imperial court?"

Dozens of officers and soldiers collapsed on the ground, and no one had any intact arms or legs to stand there.

County Magistrate Yu was even more furious. This group of unruly people were simply lawless. "I will report this to the court and ask them to send troops to suppress these bandits. Kill them all. These people cannot be spared."

"Sir, it wasn't the common people who killed County Magistrate Sun."

The officer who received the letter handed a piece of paper to the county magistrate with lingering fear: "There are five men with extremely high martial arts skills, they can fly over rooftops and walls. They say that you, sir, are disregarding human life and the lives of the people. They also want you to prepare these things and send them to Daxing Town by noon tomorrow, otherwise they will come to take you away, take you away..."

"What do you want from me?"

"I'll kill you."

"What?" County Magistrate Yu was furious. "Who is so bold?"

"They said we didn't deserve to know their names, we just needed to know they were from the capital."

"Hiss!" County Magistrate Yu panicked. A doctor from the capital, who else could be here in this remote village besides an imperial physician from the capital? Was it an official from the capital visiting relatives?

County Magistrate Yu couldn't figure it out, but he was completely panicked. The imperial doctors and officials from the capital all knew about the epidemic here. What should he do? What was the point of hiding it now?

The three disciples of Xuantian Palace rushed to the gate of Yongkang County, only to find it closed.

Li Nanxuan: "Why are you closing the city gates in broad daylight?"

Song Ming: "I don't think it's a good thing."

Su Jiyu: "Let's go in and take a look, then you'll know."

The gate of Yongkang County is quite tall, but for these three people, it is as easy as walking on flat ground.

In Yongkang County, there are few pedestrians on the streets, and the few people you occasionally see are all in a hurry.

The three of them arrived at a restaurant. It was almost noon, and there was no one in the restaurant. The owner had a worried look on his face, shaking his head and sighing at the account book. Seeing the three brothers, he quickly greeted them with a smile.

"Oh! Three Taoist priests, please come in quickly."

The three of them came to the hall and didn't need to look for an empty table. There were empty seats everywhere and they could sit anywhere.

While waiting for the food to be served, Su Jiyu started chatting with the shopkeeper.

"I don't know how to open the city gate. Why lock it?"

The shopkeeper perked up when he heard this: "Did you all enter Yong'an City yesterday? What a coincidence! It happened to be yesterday when the county magistrate issued the city lockdown order."

Su Jiyu pretended to be anxious and said, "Really? We are planning to go to Daxing Town. There is a patient there who has paid a high price for us to see him. Saving a life is like putting out a fire. What should we do now?"

"Daxing Town?" The shopkeeper was startled. "Oh my! It's a good thing the Taoist priests didn't go there, otherwise we would be in dire straits now."

"What?" The three of them looked at each other, and Su Jiyu asked, "Did something happen?"

The shopkeeper looked outside to see if anyone was around: "Master, you're new here, so you might not know. Both Daxing Town and Chunshui Town are experiencing an epidemic!"

"Ah!" The three were shocked.

The shopkeeper said, "Not many people in Yongkang County know about this. I'm an old drinking buddy of the county magistrate's lawyer, and he told me when he was drunk the other day. Daxing Town is too close to Yongkang County, so the county magistrate has already sent people to seal off Daxing Town."

The three brothers finished their meal in a hurry, feeling worried, and found a deserted place. Then they jumped over the city wall and headed towards Daxing Town.

Soon, the three of them arrived at Daxing Town. As expected, the city gate was blocked. Listening from outside, it was completely silent inside, with not a single sound.

The three of them suddenly felt something was wrong. Song Ming asked, "Could all the people in Daxing Town be dead?"

Su Jiyu: "Second Brother, should we go in and take a look? There might be corpses all over the floor!"

"Ugh!" The three of them shuddered inwardly.

Among the three of them, only Song Ming studied medicine: "We should go and see. I want to see what kind of plague it is."

The second and third brothers immediately stopped him. What a joke! The seventh brother hasn't been found yet, and now the fourth brother is involved. This is a life-threatening situation. If the eldest brother finds out, half of his hair will be gone.

Li Nanxuan said hurriedly, "Let's go to Daxi Village and see how Xiaoqi is doing. We still need to make long-term plans to treat the plague."

Two people stood on both sides of Song Ming, carrying him and walking towards Daxi Village.

Bamboo Grove Shogunate!

In the past few days, Mu Qingcheng, in addition to making alcohol with Feng Zhishang, has begun researching how to install ground dragons or fire walls for heating for the people in the north. These are easy to do. They can find a few people to learn this craft and then promote it in the north.

However, soldiers in military camps used tents, and due to their high mobility during battles, installing floor heating systems and fire walls was impossible. Iron stoves were more practical. Home stoves were too heavy and difficult to carry, so she designed a portable stove. No matter where they set up camp, they could set up a stove and keep warm.

She took up her pen and made revisions, constantly recalling the short camping videos she had seen before. Camping coal stoves were portable, warm, and safe. But she couldn't understand the structure of them.

Finally, the hard work paid off and the portable coal stove was born. Time was running out and it had to be mass-produced as soon as possible.

There were two blacksmith shops in the town. Mu Qingcheng asked Mo Yu to take the furnace she had designed to the town to build it. She also provided them with coal for free. The coal had a high ignition point and could melt the iron faster.

The two blacksmith shops had never seen stones that could burn fire. This stone was more durable than firewood and had a higher temperature, which greatly reduced the time for smelting iron. Moreover, the molten iron produced was much purer than before.

The two families worked tirelessly to hammer out iron, but they could only produce two or three finished iron stoves every day, and the speed was far behind her needs.

Mu Qingcheng was extremely anxious. At this rate, it would take two or three years for iron stoves to become commonplace in the North. Unless all the blacksmith shops in the Great Qi Kingdom were requisitioned, that was unrealistic!

What to do? What to do? If only there were a mold. I could melt the iron into molten iron and pour it directly into the mold, forming it in one go. Wouldn't that be much faster?

Yes! You can use a mold! But what kind of mold material can withstand the high temperature molten iron pouring? She couldn't answer this question, so she had to ask a professional.

At the coal mine, Mo Xiaoliu and his companions seized the third prince's iron ore overnight and gathered all the miners to the coal mine.

They were also lucky enough to have "invited" three miners from the iron ore mine. These were truly rare talents!

Although the miners didn't know what the black stones were for, they were professionals. With the guidance of professionals and the help of professional miners, more and more coal was finally produced.

The honeycomb coal workshop has finally opened. Batches of honeycomb coal are dried in caves and stacked neatly.

The first batch of honeycomb briquettes was first delivered to Yong'an County. Mo Xiaoliu personally brought the sample drawings of the iron furnace and several carts of honeycomb briquettes to the county. He approached the blacksmith shop to discuss cooperation. This business was too easy to do. As long as the furnace was set up and the coal was lit, no one would refuse it in winter.

Once it was released, every household in the county lined up to order stoves and buy honeycomb briquettes. Honeycomb briquettes last longer than charcoal, are much cheaper, and have a higher heat output. Just one stove in a room is warm and cozy.

Some wealthy families choose stoves with heating, no matter how big the house is.
