The eldest son is fierce

Everyone was stunned when they heard this.

At this time, many people, after listening to what *** and Zhuge Yunjue said, actually suspected that Tang Yi had ill intentions and was deliberately making fun of them.

But now Tang Yi talks about gold!

Go gold!

What a domineering three words.

For a moment, many people were confused. Did *** and Zhuge Yunjue lie? Or was there really gold in Nanshan?

But that doesn't make sense. *** and Zhuge Yunjue dispatched tens of thousands of people and searched almost the entire Nanshan area within a radius of 100 miles. How could it be Tang Yi's turn to get the gold?

Not to mention them, even *** and Zhuge Yunjue were stunned when they heard Tang Yi's words.

How is this possible? They've dug Nanshan out, leaving nothing but black stone, no gold at all.

But now Tang Yi was talking about gold? What did that mean? Did he really dig up gold from Nanshan? Was he going to put it in the courtyard for everyone to see, and then mobilize everyone to dig for gold?

What a joke!

"Sir, the gold has arrived!"

Everyone's thoughts were wandering when suddenly the sound of messy footsteps came from the backyard of Jingzhao Mansion, bringing everyone's thoughts back.

In an instant, everyone looked towards the archway and saw dozens of constables coming out from the backyard, working in pairs, struggling to carry a large iron box...

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene. If dozens of boxes were all filled with gold, then it would be worth hundreds of thousands of taels.

*** and Zhuge Yunjue looked at this scene with extremely ugly expressions. Did this guy really dig out gold from Nanshan?

However, as the constable carrying the iron box approached, the people who were shivering from the cold felt a wave of heat coming towards them. When their eyes fell on the iron box, everyone was stunned.

There was not gold in the iron box, but a furnace, with a blue flame swaying in the wind.

After the stove was placed on the ground, everyone instantly felt the coldness on their bodies dispelled, but who would pay attention to the fire now?

Everyone looked at Tang Yi, their faces filled with surprise and shock.

Even ***, Qi Wendao and Zhuge Yunjue were dumbfounded and stared at Tang Yi in a daze.

Are you feeling golden? Are you sure you're not suffering from internal heat?

We were all prepared to be blinded by your brilliance, and you showed us this?

"No, what about gold? Isn't it gold?"

"What's the matter, Marquis Zhongyong? Do you mistake golden flames for gold?"

"Tang Yi, don't go too far. Are you playing tricks on us?"

"..."

When they came to their senses, a group of aristocratic families were immediately enraged.

Damn it, we came to the bounty banquet because you, Tang Yi, always keep your word, but you keep playing tricks on us again and again. Do you think we don't have any temper?

However, facing the crowd's doubts and anger, Tang Yi remained quite calm. He sat on a chair, shaking his legs and laughing, "Gold? This is gold. If you don't believe me, take a closer look."

A group of people looked at the blazing furnace, their faces all black. Damn, even if you look closely, you can't turn the fire into gold, right? Do you think we are idiots?

What? Just staring at the fire can temper gold into gold?

"Hehe, hahaha..."

Zhuge Yunjue pointed at Tang Yi and laughed coldly, "Lord of Loyalty and Bravery, you are so arrogant! Are you trying to use the favor His Majesty has shown you to force us to call fire gold?"

"Pointing to fire as gold, that's a good point." *** stared at Tang Yi with a smile and said, "Perhaps this word will be passed down through the ages like the poems of the Loyal and Brave Marquis thousands of years later."

"If you don't give me an explanation today, even if Tang Qing is deeply favored by His Majesty, I'm afraid it will be unacceptable..."

Tang Yi stood up holding the teacup, blew gently on the scalding hot tea in the cup, took a sip to moisten his throat, then glanced at the entire audience and shook his head speechlessly.

"Hey, I really overestimated your IQ!"

"If I say this is gold, then it is gold. Look carefully at the furnace in front of you before you speak to me."

Upon hearing this, a group of people were so angry that they wanted to hit someone. "Observe the furnace carefully? Observing the furnace carefully can turn it into gold? You can't even talk nonsense like that, right?"

"Hmm? No, this is... this is a black stone?!"

At this time, someone in the crowd finally exclaimed and recognized the burning object in the iron furnace.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on the iron furnace. They saw round black objects with holes burning in the furnace. Aren't they just black stones that have been crushed into mud?

"Is it really a black stone? Tang Yi, you are crazy. How dare you harm us?"

"It's poisonous, retreat!"

"Tang Yi, you little thief, you will die a miserable death!"

"..."

In an instant, many people were enraged and stepped back in fear, and the scene became chaotic.

If the Jinyiwei had not sealed the gate long ago, many people would have already started fleeing.

Even *** and Zhuge Yunjue's group of people's expressions changed, staring at Tang Yi vigilantly. At this moment, they all felt that Tang Yi's bounty banquet was fake, and the real purpose was to call them over and catch them all in one fell swoop, right?

"Fuck, stop howling and shut up!"

Tang Yi covered his ears with one hand and roared angrily.

After hearing his roar, the chaos at the scene gradually calmed down.

Seeing everyone's eyes looking at him, Tang Yi raised his hand and pointed at the stove and said, "This is not called black stone, this is called honeycomb coal, which is my latest product."

"Of course, it is indeed made from the black stone you mentioned, but it has been detoxified. The black stone burning in front of you now is non-toxic."

As long as it is not burned in a closed environment, it is non-toxic... Tang Yi added secretly in his heart.

We can’t say this now. We need to coax these guys first, and then popularize safety knowledge when the coal mine is officially opened for sale.

When the group of people heard Tang Yi's words, they looked at each other in confusion and became even more confused.

So after all this fuss, are you trying to say that black stone is equal to gold?

Seeing that the aristocratic families hadn't reacted yet, Tang Yi raised his hand and patted his forehead, saying, "Coal mines have many uses, the most direct of which is heating. Compared to expensive charcoal, honeycomb coal is more economical and durable."

"The money you spend on a piece of charcoal is enough to buy at least ten honeycomb briquettes. Ordinary people can't afford charcoal, and many have to endure the harsh winter, but they can afford honeycomb briquettes."

"An ordinary household consumes about four to eight honeycomb coals a day, which costs about ten coins."

"With ten cents a day, you can cook and keep warm. You don't have to light a fire every time you cook, and you don't have to go out to chop wood every day."

"Of course, coal is also needed for steelmaking, ironmaking, cement burning, etc..."

"..."

Tang Yi kept talking about coal, and told them the role of coal mines in the most direct and straightforward way.

The group of noble families who were originally furious and thought he was deliberately making fun of them, now listened to his explanation with their eyes widening little by little and even their breathing became rapid.

They were not fools. At this moment, they finally realized why Tang Yi said that the black ball burning in the iron furnace was gold.

This is something that is enough to subvert the times!
