The layout of the front hall of the Pengcheng official government is also very simple.

It was only summer, but there was a brazier next to the low tables in the room.

The brazier was not lit, and there were some black stones inside.

They are said to be stones, but they look a little soft, and there are even a lot of debris scattered beside them.

Everyone entered the room, and Lu Bu greeted Xiahou Dun: "Yuan Rang, please sit down!"

Thank you and sat down, Xiahou Dun's eyes were attracted by the black stones in the brazier.

"Have Yuan Rang never seen such things?" Lu Bu grinned, as if he was not concerned at all: "This is a burning stone. I gave it a name called coal."

Coal is nothing more than what he copied two thousand years later.

But no one knows this era.

Lu Bu copied the name that would appear in later generations, with a calm look on his face and did not feel any ashamed at all.

When he named the coal, Chen Gong and others admired it very much.

Even Chen Gong, after thinking about it, he never thought that a more suitable name was.

At that time, Lu Bu seemed to mention it casually and actually said a very suitable name. People like Chen Gong who pay more attention to wisdom will certainly be admired!

But Xiahou Dun was a military general.

He has no special pursuit of name.

Lu Bu named the black stone in front of him coal, which seemed very common to him.

He didn't feel anything in his heart, but Xiahou Dun flattered him: "Only Wen Hou can think of such a delicate name."

"Of course!" Knowing that he was just flattering, Lu Bu still responded shamelessly with a smile: "I have spent a lot of effort to give this name!"

"Wen Hou Zhi is extremely worried, so he probably won't take much effort." Xiahou Dun smiled unnaturally: "Wen Hou is too humble!"

"Come on, light a brazier." Lu Bu greeted the guards.

The guard entered the house and poured some oil into each brazier.

When they lit the fuel, flames immediately rose from the brazier.

Lu Bu took the whole summer to attack Huainan. Although it was already autumn, it was not as cold as it needed to light a brazier.

Xiahou Dun asked blankly: "What is Wenhou doing to light a brazier?"

"The meat delivered to the banquet is often cold. In order to stutter and eat some hot food, I specifically ordered someone to bring it to a brazier." Lu Bu said: "Wouldn't it be extremely beautiful to eat while roasting?"

Xiahou Dun had eaten many banquets, but he really didn't understand how to eat while barbecuing.

He was confused and didn't know how to deal with it, and a maid had already brought wine and meat.

The maid placed the wine and meat on the table and did not leave. Instead, she walked to the brazier and sat down and set up a shelf on the brazier.

The maid sitting next to the brazier carefully placed the meat on the rack and gently grilled it.

The room soon filled with light green smoke of barbecue.

"Actually, the meat is cooked." Xiahou Dun looked at the maid's barbecue, and the host Lu Bu explained to him: "The cooked meat is baked on the rack and it will be eaten in a short while. If you use more seasonings, it will taste very refreshing!"

Never had barbecue like this, Xiahou Dun replied: "Mr. Wen has many ideas. When he goes back to see his lord, I can tell him this method."

There was not much oil in the brazier and it burned out soon.

The oil burned out, the flames gradually became smaller, but the coal in the basin burned red.

The coal flames did not rise very high, but the temperature of the brazier was not low.

Feeling the heat coming from the side, Xiahou Dun asked, "Coal is just a stone, how can it burn?"

"Coal burns more heat than charcoal." When it comes to coal, Lu Bu immediately became interested: "I wonder if Yuanjie will use charcoal to keep warm in winter?"

"Charcoal is expensive, and the lord uses more, so we mostly use firewood." Xiahou Dun replied honestly.

Charcoal is fired with firewood, which has the advantages of high combustion temperature, small flames and little blue smoke.

But after all, it is the product of firewood after half burning, and its burning time is far less than that of coal, and it is even less than that of firewood.

There was not much coal in the brazier beside the low table, but it seemed that it couldn't be finished no matter how hard it was.

When the maid placed the roasted meat in front of him, the brazier was still red.

Xiahou Dun looked at Lu Bu in surprise: "This kind of stone can actually burn for so long..."

"Coal is widely used. Not only does it burn for a long time, but forging weapons are also better than charcoal." Lu Bu said with a proud look on his face and lowered his voice: "With this thing, I will be able to forge more good weapons soon. Why do you need to bother Cao Gong to deliver them to me?"

When Xiahou Jun lifted his weapon, he was shocked.

The coal burns for a long time and does not need to be replaced frequently. Forging weapons is indeed better than charcoal with a short burning time.

Lu Bu was in control of this kind of thing alone, and it would never be a good thing for Cao Cao if he continued for a long time.

He asked tentatively: "Wen Hou got coal, have you ever thought about sending some to his lord?"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Lu Bu waved his hands repeatedly: "Coal is rare, and it is not easy for me to make such a small amount. If I send it to Cao Gong, I will not have much."

Pengcheng is rich in coal resources underground. Not to mention that the coal mines he built cannot produce much, even comprehensive mining in two thousand years can be supported for three to two hundred years without exhaustion.

The amount of mine mining is just a drop in the bucket for Pengcheng's coal resources, but Lu Bu cannot say in front of Xiahou Dun that he has a lot.

Any man has no fault, but he will be guilty of possessing a treasure.

A small amount of coal output can earn great benefits. Once you claim to the outside world that the resources you have are inexhaustible, it is hard to say whether it is a benefit or a disaster.

"Wen Hou has such a good thing and doesn't send some to the lord, aren't you afraid that he will be unhappy?" Xiahou Dun's tone showed threat.

Lu Bu pinched his chin with a embarrassed face: "To be honest, I dare not make Cao Gong unhappy, but coal is mined from the ground, so I don't have many..."

"Even if there are not many, there should be three or five hundred cars." Xiahou Dun was not giving up.

"Three or five hundred cars..." Lu Bu said in surprise: "Even if I ask all the Qingzhou soldiers to dig, it will never be possible to get it within a year or two..."

"Xuzhou has a lot of labor. Could it be that the Qingzhou army still needs to get coal?" Xiahou Dun was puzzled.

The Qingzhou army was trained by Lu Bu, and if it were placed on him, they would never send this powerful force to mine coal. After all, they would be truly like fish in the battlefield!

"The Xuzhou labor force is not as much like Yuan Rang." Lu Bu said with a bitter face: "It's not enough for me to throw all the Qingzhou army into it..."

"What does Wen Hou mean?" Xiahou Dun asked when he heard something from his words.
