    It¡¯s nearly June, and the weather in Jiuyuan is starting to get hotter.  However, the Hetao area is located to the north and is blocked by mountains and rivers, so it is not as humid and hot as the south.

    Huang Mingyuan knows how to make ice. When he was in Yangzhou, the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River made it unbearably hot and humid.  At this time, Huang Mingyuan often uses salt water to make ice, and also makes smoothies and popsicles for Yang Qing'er to eat.  He used all the chemistry knowledge taught by teachers in junior high and high school to pick up girls.

    Later, Huang Mingyuan also made ice on a large scale and used summer ice making technology to become a profiteer.  However, being in a room full of ice for a long time is not good for your health, so Huang Mingyuan never uses ice because he doesn't want to be cold.

    In the past, Huang Mingyuan would ask people to put a few cold melons in. Whenever the heat was unbearable, he would use this to relieve the heat.

    The General Manager¡¯s Office also had ice made available, but Huang Mingyuan had people send them to various government offices and schools for use, and he didn¡¯t keep any of them.

    Some people advised Huang Mingyuan to keep some for his own use. Everyone could save some for Huang Mingyuan's use, but Huang Mingyuan refused.

    Huang Mingyuan said to the people around him: "The soldiers are on guard duty and training in the scorching heat, but they don't feel hard. I work under the shade of a tree and have cold melons to eat. How can I not stand this heat?"

    Some subordinates advised Huang Mingyuan to only use ice in the General Manager's Mansion, and no one outside would know.

    Huang Mingyuan frowned and said to everyone: "If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing. Heaven knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, what does it mean that no one knows."

    After this incident, everyone admired Huang Mingyuan's self-discipline.

    Later, Yang Jian also heard about this and said to people around him: "Huang Changping is as strong as steel." Therefore, everyone gave Huang Mingyuan a new nickname, calling him "Steel General."

    On this day, Li Zixiao came to report to Huang Mingyuan on the use of coal.

    Seeing that Li Zixiao was sweating profusely, Huang Mingyuan hurriedly asked someone to send two cold melons to quench his thirst.

    Li Zixiao said with a smile while eating the cold melon: "My lord doesn't use ice, and the subordinates don't dare to use it. It's an advantage for the students in the school."

    "When you are in a high position, it is better not to be so comfortable. It is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to move from luxury to frugality. If I am used to enjoying myself, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to experience the previous hardships again. I am not yet old enough to enjoy myself."

    Huang Mingyuan shook his head and suddenly said with a smile: "I don't care about other people, but you can't get too hot. If you get heatstroke, cousin Yang's family is not allowed to come to your door."

    Li Zixiao was speechless for a moment when Huang Mingyuan changed the topic, but his heart was filled with warmth.

    The two chatted for a few words and then started talking about the promotion of coal. The situation was not optimistic.

    Coal, at this time, is also called coal or graphite.

    In order to reduce Fengzhou¡¯s demand for trees and prepare for the next step of industrial development, Huang Mingyuan decided to promote the use of coal for heating in Fengzhou. Once the coal consumption in Fengzhou increases significantly, the coal mining industry will also develop significantly.

    However, the people were not used to using charcoal before, so in order to achieve top-down promotion, Huang Mingyuan conducted pilot projects in various subordinate agencies of the General Manager's Office and the Governor's Office.

    However, the situation of promotion is not optimistic.

    The common saying is that this charcoal is not easy to ignite and has a lot of smoke, which is far worse than wood.  There was a clerk in Cangcao, the prefecture capital, who failed to diffuse the smoke while cooking at home. He was poisoned by the smoke and passed out on the spot. Fortunately, he was discovered in time and survived.

    Although no lives were lost, this has also made charcoal become demonized. Nowadays, many people talk about charcoal and become dissatisfied, so charcoal cannot be promoted.

    When Huang Mingyuan heard this, he realized that his work was too careless. He only asked everyone to use coal, but he forgot the most important tools for using coal.

    Without an iron stove, the coal would of course be useless, and no one would be able to discover his merits.

    People always like to use familiar things and are unwilling to make rash changes because unfamiliar things make them instinctively feel unsafe.  If new things don't make people feel benefits, why should people abandon old things and adapt to new things.

    Huang Mingyuan figured this out and decided that only by letting everyone experience the benefits of using coal could he promote coal.

    Soon everyone discovered that Huang Mingyuan seemed to have given up on the fire these days. He had been staying in the General Manager's Mansion in the past few days, and even the government affairs were handed over to the people below.

    Rongbi went to the General Manager's Mansion twice to meet Huang Mingyuan, but every time he took a quick glance, Huang Mingyuan redirected him to Li Zixiao.  If Huang Mingyuan hadn't had an excellent reputation before and had no history of slacking off in government affairs, Rongbi would have directly impeached Huang Mingyuan in the name of slacking off in government affairs.

    However, Huang Mingyuan¡¯s abnormality still makes people curious. After all, the authorFengzhou's military and political leader, Huang Mingyuan's every move is related to Fengzhou's future development and everyone's hat.

    There¡¯s no reason why Huang Mingyuan shouldn¡¯t go out for a few days.

    On this day, Huang Mingyuan summoned his subordinate officials to come to the General Manager's Mansion to discuss matters.

    When everyone arrived at the General Manager's Mansion, Huang Mingyuan did not show up. Instead, the servants of the mansion led everyone to the backyard.  Huang Mingyuan's family members did not come to Fengzhou, but everyone did not shy away from it.

    The servants led everyone to a room, asked them to wait here, and then closed the door.

    At this time, no one knew what kind of medicine Huang Mingyuan was selling in his gourd. They gathered around and discussed in whispers, just like herding ducks.

    Rong Bi sat at the top, closing his eyes and saying nothing. He wanted to see what Huang Mingyuan wanted to do.

    Everyone was sitting on their seats. At first, they were still in the mood to discuss. After a while, they felt that the room was a little hot, and some people were even sweating profusely.  Everyone was a little confused as to why the weather in June, no matter how hot it was, felt like a fire.

    Several people were sweating profusely due to the heat and felt uncomfortable all over. They wanted to go out for some fresh air, but were stopped by the guards at the door.

    Everyone was immediately dumbfounded. It was as if they were under house arrest.  The clever ones immediately kept thinking, muttering about what Huang Mingyuan was going to do and what they should do.

    At this time, Wang Wentong was almost soaked, and kept wiping the sweat on his face with his sleeves.  To his left and right were Rongbi and Li Zixiao. Rongbi and he both belonged to the state government system, but he and Rongbi had different horoscopes.  Rong Bi thought Wang Wentong was a villain and ignored Wang Wentong. Wang Wentong also felt that Rong Bi was too unruly and was unwilling to talk to Rong Bi.

    He then turned to Li Zixiao and asked, "Li Lu, do you know what Huang Shijun is going to do at this time? It's not just for a showdown, right?"

    Li Zixiao¡¯s expression turned serious and he said seriously, ¡°Wang Sima, be careful what you say.¡±

    Wang Wentong originally wanted to see if Li Zixiao, Huang Mingyuan's confidant, knew what was going on, but his teasing not only failed to answer the question, but also made it boring.  His throat was so hot that it was almost smoking, so he had to sit still and say nothing.

    After a while, Xiong Kuohai walked to the door and said to everyone: "The manager is inviting you all outside."

    When everyone heard this, they hurriedly fled out the door as if they had been granted amnesty.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan is sitting in the yard waiting for you.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
