Returning from the Li Mansion, Yan Chengjin sat in the sedan chair and pondered.

The housekeeper of the Li Mansion said that Li Dongyang made some preparations before going out.

He knew that Li Dongyang went to Qufu to sacrifice on purpose.

With Li Dongyang's wisdom, how could there be no way to refuse His Majesty's holy decree?

He pushed the boat with the current, deliberately!

The purpose of going to Qufu, Shandong Province was to tell Li Qing'e about a marriage, yes, the object was Kong Wenshao, the prince of Yansheng.

Not a drop of water leaks, Lao Taishan is really an old Yin ratio.

It's just that what Li Dongyang didn't know was that he predicted his prediction.

In the early morning of the next day, the glow of the morning sun was slanted and sprinkled, and the sun was warm and refreshing.

The minister in the blue and red robe stood in front of the door on the left and right, the colors of the official clothes were distinct, holding the card, waiting for the golden bell to ring.

"Today, Your Majesty wants to discuss, the matter of fire prevention in the capital has been played in the imperial history."

Fang Xue was methodical, counting the court discussions, and repeating all the things that were to be discussed yesterday.

Yan Chengjin knows that it is difficult to prevent fire in the capital, because most of the buildings in the capital are made of wood.

There were no fire trucks, and there was no nearby water to use, so if it burned, it would be a disaster.

Therefore, in addition to war, the ruler attaches the most importance to fire prevention.

There are two ways to prevent fire in the imperial city, one is to fill the water tanks with a large water capacity, and the other is to wrap the wood with bricks and glass, so that the wood is not exposed.

But not in the market.

The water tank can be removed or broken, and there is no way to wrap the house in concrete.

Emperor Hongzhi looked straight ahead, and his voice echoed in the main hall: "The matter of fire prevention in the capital, I have been slacking off all night, thinking hard, and I can't think of a good countermeasure?" Do you have a way? ”

Liu Jian pondered for a while? Brushing his beard: "A well in a hundred steps in the capital, can it be used for the people?" And can it be used to prevent fires? What does Your Majesty think? ”

He also thought about it for a long time at home.

This is similar to the large-mouth jar in the palace.

A well? It can cover a radius of fifty steps, which is quite a lot.

Hundreds of officials nodded their heads? agreed.

Han Wen thought about it? Or ask, "Who will dig this deep well?" Let the people dig, will be enslaved, let the court dig, the Ministry of Industry needs a lot of money. ”

Drawing water from a well? Seems feasible? In fact, there are many loopholes.

For example, it takes one minute for a bucket of water to be shaken up from the bottom of a well, two minutes to be sent to extinguish the fire, and three minutes to get a bucket of water? I'm afraid the house will burn down.

Fire prevention seems insignificant, but if it really burns? But it can burn the entire capital to the ground.

So? The Ming Dynasty only had a curfew system, what time should the fire be turned off at night? Husband patrol? Beware of candles.

Check in the bud? It's more important than making amends.

Yan Chengjin lowered his head, looked at the gold bricks on the ground, and fell into deep thought.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the Metropolitan Procuratorate: "Yan Qing's family, what do you think?" ”

Yan Chengjin said: "Placing lightning rods in the capital to prevent sky fires is one of them. ”

The Daming Palace has caught fire many times, 16 of which were caused by thunder.

"What Liu Gong said is good for digging wells, and what Lord Han said is also reasonable.

The minister thought that the soldiers and horses of the five cities could drive the waterwheel and patrol the fire prevention in the capital with the husband, which was the second. ”

Liu Jian's eyes moved slightly.

Fire prevention is the responsibility of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and it is like a few large water tanks moving in the capital.

It is a clever idea to be able to get water to extinguish the fire at any time.

Emperor Hongzhi thought of the key point: "But the heavenly thunder is the punishment of the heavens, what is the lightning rod that Yan Chengjin said?" Can you avoid thunder and lightning? ”

It's the first time I've heard of it.

"It's an iron needle that goes to the ground, and it can absorb thunder and lightning to avoid catastrophes." Yan Chengjin used words that they could understand.

Daming fire prevention is extremely strict, why is there a fire, the eastern area is still burning, sometimes it is thunder.

Therefore, you have to avoid the thunder first, otherwise it will be useless to set up more husbands.

Secondly, there is enough water.

This is somewhat similar to the fire system that was placed in the room in later generations.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division drove the waterwheel, just like the spraying truck of later generations.

Daming's facilities and equipment are limited, and Yan Chengjin can think of the best way, and that's the only way.

Xu Honglu's eyes widened in the matter of the household, and his face was full of disbelief: "Is there an object in the world that can absorb heavenly thunder?" Who are you fooling! ”

Thunder and lightning are in the streets, and it is considered that the heavenly prince is angry.

But Zhu Xi's explanation of it is that the qi of yin and yang, which is extremely closed, suddenly bursts out.

Therefore, the reader's understanding of thunder and lightning is very metaphysical.

But there's no way to explain it.

Yan Chengjin thought for a while, and then asked, "Lord Xu doesn't believe it?" ”

"I don't believe it either!" Li Dingyi said in the matter.

There are more and more people in the hall who question Yan Chengjin, the thunder and fire are within reach, the gold and stone are melting, where is there anything that can carry thunder and lightning.

This son is clearly a liar.

At least in their cognition, thunder and lightning are punishments from heaven, and there is a saying that if you do something wrong, you will be hit by five thunders.

Yan Chengjin is not very old, can he read more books than them?

But I think it's strange that this son is steady, how could he say such a thing.

For a moment, these two thoughts collided in their minds.

It is a fact that thunder and lightning are punished by heaven, and it is also a fact that Yan Chengjin is very steady, which one is true?

Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jian also didn't believe that the iron needle could absorb thunder and lightning, what is the reason?

Yan Chengjin was thinking, Xu Honglu and Li Ingot were the people of King Ning? Or is it jealous to see that he has been promoted too high?

"Lord Xu and Lord Li don't believe it, this official has a way to prove it, I just hope that the two adults will cooperate."

Xu Honglu and Li Ingot looked at each other, their eyes shining.

"If it can't be proven, it is a bully, Lord Yan knows, right?"

"If you can't prove it, what should you do?"

Yan Chengjin thought for a while and said, "This official resigned from the imperial history, but he also asked the two adults to sign a warrant, regardless of life or death." ”

The officials were shocked, how could they still die?

Emperor Hongzhi stepped forward to stop it and cleared his throat: "Why is Aiqing like this? ”

Xu Honglu and Li Ingot flinched a little, who knows if Yan Chengjin deliberately harmed them.

Yan Chengjin said: "There shouldn't be any deaths, the two adults don't dare, since this is the case, the official will not prove it." ”

"Your Majesty, I am willing."

This son is a deception, scaring them with people who will die, so that there is no need to corroborate.

Thinking beautifully, I almost fell for this kid!

Xu Honglu and Li Ingot suddenly realized.

Wang Shouren looked at Yan Chengjin, and always felt that it was the old brother's trickery?

Yan Chengjin wrote a writ on the court and asked Xu Honglu and Li Ingot to sign and pledge.

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to stop it, but he felt that it was unnecessary, and when he really wanted to die, he just stopped it.

If mortals can fight against the thunder, it is really a great blessing.

"When will it start?" Xu Honglu raised her hand and asked disdainfully.

"If you want to prove that you can absorb thunder, you have to have thunder first, and ask two adults to wait."

It's reasonable, how can you prove it without Lei?

Emperor Hongzhi specially ordered someone to ask the Qintian Prison Supervisor.

Zhou Zheng stood in the courtyard to observe the celestial phenomena, and observed the stars at night, before he reported: "Three days later, there may be thunderstorms." ”

This result is not much different from what Wang Shouren observed.

Yan Chengjin knows that spring is coming, and it is inevitable that there will be spring thunder, but it's a pity that it's not summer.

This experiment is supposed to have two hundred years left, but he can't wait to reveal the truth first.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, but Yan Chengjin did not make the slightest movement, just like in the past.

Xu Honglu and Li Ingot became more and more convinced that Yan Chengjin was a liar.

"This son is just a lie, scare me and wait, see how he ends!"

In the evening, the sky that had been bright suddenly turned into night.

The sky was covered with black clouds, thunder flashed, and the sky roared like a furious and manic beast!

Yan Chengjin said to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, you can start." ”
