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

As Ma Sanbao announced Zhu Yunhuan's imperial edict on the spot and bluntly stated that the nearby shop would soon distribute anthracite, a series of "crackling" firecrackers rang out from the door of the shop not far from Zuihe Tower...

The sound of firecrackers instantly attracted everyone's attention.

Then someone rang a gong at the door of the shop: "Free anthracite is being distributed!!!"

See this situation.

All the people present showed excitement and joy on their faces.

"Seriously! This anthracite... is really free for us!"

"Quick! Get the anthracite!"

"There really is such a good thing!?"

"..."

Such a good thing is free - even though these words came from the mouth of a big shot around the current emperor, and were issued by imperial decree, many people did not dare to believe it at first.

But now anthracite is distributed directly on the spot.

The facts are before our eyes.

What other reason is there to not believe it?

Moreover, it is snowing now, and everyone knows that the days to come will only get colder day by day.

All of a sudden, everyone rushed towards the shops next to Zuihelou. The crowd surged like a tide, filled with desire, enthusiasm, and excitement...

Fortunately, Zhu Yunhuan had already arranged for the imperial guards to maintain order, otherwise there would have been a major stampede.

The procedure for distributing anthracite is simple.

As long as one can prove their identity and prove that their household registration information is within the spinning material area counted by the court, they can receive a fixed quota of anthracite, so soon...

"Anthracite! We got it! We really got it!!!"

"Thank God, thank you His Majesty for your grace, long live His Majesty!!"

"Hahahaha! This good stuff is much more useful than the grass, wood, and vines on the mountain. People like us have never dared to dream of living in such conditions!"

"Your Majesty has indeed never given up on us!"

"..."

There is always someone who comes first and someone who comes last. Although there are many people, there is always someone who gets the things first. Aside from the long queue, you can hear more and more such sighs and laughter, which makes everyone put aside the last bit of hesitation in their hearts.

And at the same time.

Right next to the shop, someone was shouting through a makeshift loudspeaker: "Don't rush to leave if you've received anthracite! Learn how to make honeycomb briquettes! Learn how to make honeycomb briquettes! Anthracite is limited. Learn how to make honeycomb briquettes so you can use the same amount of anthracite longer!"

Presumably with direct burning coals.

Honeycomb coal can improve the combustion efficiency of coal, making it burn more completely, and consume much less coal while obtaining the same amount of heat.

The biggest disadvantage of honeycomb coal is its high cost.

After all, the coal needs to be crushed, mixed with mud, and then shaped, etc. The labor cost required is much higher than mining coal. It is true that Zhu Yunhuan can make money, but he does not have enough financial, human, material and time resources to make honeycomb coal.

therefore.

While someone was shouting.

Someone nearby demonstrated how to make honeycomb briquettes: crush the coal blocks thoroughly, mix a certain amount of soil in them, then stir evenly with water. Finally, shape the coal mud into cakes, poke several holes through them with a wooden stick, and wait for them to dry.

This is how you get simple and rough honeycomb briquettes.

Modern honeycomb coal has the same specifications and exquisite and regular shapes, but it requires metal molds to press out the coal mud. Under the current conditions, that kind of honeycomb coal is impossible.

However, the effect is similar when made using this simple method.

As long as it meets the needs, it's fine.

High cost is not a problem at all. In this era, although the process of making honeycomb coal is troublesome, hard and tiring, the materials for this process are easily obtained by users, and the manpower can also be completed by themselves.
