Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"Think about it, everyone. Did you really hear it clearly?"

"I didn't say just now that the coal Your Majesty sent to the various provinces, prefectures, states, and counties of the Ming Dynasty was ordinary coal. I said it was called 'anthracite'! The so-called 'smokeless' is not difficult to understand, right?"

At this point, Ma Sanbao's eyes reddened slightly. He bowed respectfully in the direction of the Forbidden City and continued, "This anthracite is made by the current emperor through his extensive reading and study of ancient texts. He discovered a special processing method that can turn ordinary, useless coal into a smokeless and almost non-toxic heating material!"

Although Ma Sanbao tried his best to restrain himself, at the end, both his voice and expression were filled with uncontrollable excitement. There was even a slight tremor in his voice with tears in his eyes. He almost roared when he spoke, and his face turned red.

If for no other reason, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, seeing his master taking on everything for the people of the world and bearing many misunderstandings and insults!

As Ma Sanbao said this with a red face.

The despair among the crowd below the stage faded away a lot, and some people stared at Ma Sanbao on the stage with shining eyes, with hope on their faces:

"Smokeless, non-toxic... coal!? Is this true?"

"This was said by the imperial court, by the eunuch in charge of the current emperor himself. It's not like... he's lying to us, is he?"

"If this coal is truly usable... I've encountered coal trucks several times since Your Majesty ascended the throne. Yingtian Prefecture must have no shortage of it. Then maybe... we can actually have a good winter!"

"..."

Even people who are about to drown in the water will desperately grab the last straw to save their lives. Now the court officials have come out to say that the coal can be used. Between life and death, everyone wants to believe that this is true, and everyone hopes it is true!

Of course, not everyone is so optimistic.

Of course, there are also people who don't believe it. After all, a person's inherent cognition is often like a mountain, and it is difficult for them to believe in something new...

"How is that possible? We've seen coal trucks before! The coal on them is just ordinary coal. Where's the "anthracite"? "

"That's right! I've seen it too. This castrated dog is just trying to fool us!"

"I've seen it before, it's just ordinary coal. Don't take it home and burn it, you'll die!"

"..."

This is why Zhu Yunhuan went to such great lengths to organize this press conference. According to the circumstances, if he had simply published a notice in the newspaper, the progress of the distribution and sale of anthracite would have been unpredictable.

So Ma Sanbao said directly, "Your Majesty knows that all talk without action is fake, so he asked us to hold this press conference today. You dare not use this anthracite, so we will be the first to use it and show you!"

After saying this, Ma Sanbao's eyes became stern and he nodded slightly to the young eunuch next to him.

The young eunuch also nodded in response.

He then gave a look to the other young eunuchs waiting nearby, and they immediately divided the work among themselves, each taking an iron rack, a brazier, ordinary firewood, black coal blocks that looked nothing special... and so on, setting them up on the platform and placing them...

Soon, two braziers were set up on the platform. One brazier contained ordinary dry firewood, and the other brazier contained coal blocks that were said to be "smokeless and non-toxic."

"Light it up, burn it."

Ma Sanbao stood in front of the charcoal basin filled with anthracite and said seriously, the falling snowflakes fell on his body and face... but could not affect him at all.

Seeing this situation on the platform.

In the crowd, whether they were disbelieving, questioning, or half-believing, they all immediately showed shocked expressions, and the noisy voices subsided a lot.

But after a brief period of silence, a new noise soon broke out.
