?Chapter 86: Chapter 84 Family Reunion Chapter 86: Chapter 84 Family Reunion Two days later, the kiln was opened for charcoal retrieval.

Following several robust men shifting the charcoal out of the kiln, Yang Zhenshan witnessed the outcome of their first charcoal burning.

Yang Minghao, fiddling with a small stick, remarked, “Why are some only half-burnt?”

“Some have even turned to ash!”

A large pile, black all over, though significantly less than the wood that was put in.

Yang Zhenshan came forward to look, musing that charcoal-making was bound to have some loss, and moreover, it was a technical task, the consumption depending largely on the operation during the burning process.

Observing the change in the color of the smoke to determine the burning state of the wood inside, and the placement of the firewood in the kiln also required technique.

Yang Zhenshan was no expert at this, but no matter, practice makes perfect.

Yang Zhenshan estimated about half of the wood was consumed in this charcoal-making endeavor.

For a first attempt at making charcoal, Yang Zhenshan was quite satisfied.

“Erhu!”

Yang Zhenshan called out to a man with frosty temples.

“Sir!”

Li Erhu was a soldier from the Yinghe Castle, who had served as a small flag in his youth, but now his age had advanced, and his eldest son had taken over his role.

“Not bad, from now on you will oversee the charcoal-making. You’ll earn thirty percent more than the others,” said Yang Zhenshan.

Li Erhu was overjoyed at these words, “Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Xie!”

“Hmm, the construction of the charcoal kiln has no issues. Build several more!”

“After a few days, once the area is sorted, take two men to Sanshan Castle to build more charcoal kilns!”

Yang Zhenshan instructed.

“Yes!” Li Erhu responded.

Experience may be lacking, but it can be gained gradually, and having results was enough to satisfy Yang Zhenshan.

With this new livelihood of charcoal-making, military households from Yinghe Castle and Sanshan Castle could now have an additional source of income.

The preliminary plan for poverty alleviation was thus deemed complete.
