Emperor Hongzhi went down to the early court, and habitually summoned the three elders to continue to discuss today's court affairs.

"This Tatar and Warat really have signs of moving south, and this cold winter has not only had a huge impact on our Ming Dynasty, but also has a great impact on Tatar and Warat."

"According to Liu Jin, the farther north this goes, the closer it is to the Arctic region, the lower the temperature, and we are already so cold that this Tatar and Warat can be imagined."

"The weather was too cold, and more cattle and sheep froze to death in the northern Tatars and Warats, so they had to go south."

In the warm pavilion, the four monarchs and ministers surrounded the stove, while roasting the fire, they also discussed national affairs.

In recent days, they have received reports from the border towns that there are frequent changes in Tatar and Warat, and there seem to be signs of a major southward movement, and the Hongzhi Emperor is also worried about this.

This Tatar and Warat have always been the henchmen of the Ming Dynasty, and the shame of the Tumubao Revolution has been whipping Emperor Hongzhi, and he will pay close attention to anything about Tatar and Warat.

"Our towns on the nine sides have been prepared, but we should still strengthen the defense of the Jingshi region, not afraid of 10,000, just in case~"

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's words, Liu Jian, who was old and serious, also suggested.

"Well, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of the Jingshi area, and the battalions in the capital should also be reviewed."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded and said, and then looked outside, the warm pavilion was as warm as spring, but the outside was a cold wind howling, extremely cold, and then he looked at the hot charcoal fire burning in the warm pavilion, and said: "This charcoal is said to have risen to nearly 600 wen a load." ”

"No, the colder the weather, the more expensive this charcoal becomes."

"600 wen a load of charcoal, ordinary people can't afford to use it at all."

Li Dongyang also said worriedly.

"Xiao Jing, when will the honeycomb coal that Liu Jin made go on sale?"

Speaking of this issue, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly remembered what Liu Jin said about coal replacing charcoal, and quickly asked Xiao Jinglai on the side.

"Back to Your Majesty, this honeycomb coal just happened to be on the market today."

Xiao Jing replied respectfully, this honeycomb coal matter is naturally not a big deal, and after Emperor Hongzhi handed over the matter to Xiao Jing, he immediately forgot about it.

The entire Ming Dynasty is too big, he, the emperor, has to deal with a lot of things every day, and he doesn't have much energy to take care of this matter at all.

"Oh, that's a coincidence, why don't we go and see it together?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately came to his senses, thought about it and said to Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and Li Dongyang.

"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, if this honeycomb coal is really as Liu Jin said, then ordinary people will have a better winter this time, I should go and see it in person."

Liu Jian and the three of them naturally nodded hurriedly and agreed.

……

Langdong Chongnan Fang.

Qian Youcai's original small shop has changed its signboard, and his charcoal shop is also regarded as the industry of Xishan Coal Industry, so it is also hung up with the brand of Xishan Coal Industry.

At this time, there were a lot of people gathered in front of the Xishan Coal Store, all of them watching the guys in the store sell new honeycomb coal to everyone.

"Don't miss it when you pass by, Xishan Coal Industry has launched the cheapest heating materials, this honeycomb coal, only two cents a piece, a family can cook, boil water, and heat as long as they spend less than 10 cents a day, which is much cheaper than using charcoal and firewood."

"Today's opening is an event, anyone who buys a honeycomb coal stove will send five honeycomb coal today, and these five honeycomb coal are ten cents, and if you miss today, this cheap will be gone."

The voice of the shopkeeper was very loud, and as soon as he shouted, there were more people around, almost surrounding the entire Xishan Coal Shop with three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Isn't this coal poisonous?"

"Coal kills."

As soon as someone heard about coal, he shook his head again and again.

"Of course, ordinary coal will be private, because coal contains sulfur, which will be toxic after combustion, but the honeycomb coal of our Xishan coal industry is different, we have gone through a complex process to remove the sulfur in it, so you can use it with confidence."

When the shopkeeper heard it, he naturally explained again and again.

"Is this true?"

Someone said suspiciously.

"You don't believe me?"

"I'll show you what I've heard on the spot."

The shopkeeper hurriedly came to a reddish honeycomb coal stove that had been burned, took a deep breath into the air, and then said, "Look, am I poisoned?" I'm not a living tiger. ”

"The honeycomb coal in our Xishan coal industry is different, we use it every day, there is nothing, you also come to smell it, there is no smell at all, if it is coal containing sulfur, it has a peculiar smell, you will know it when you smell it."

"That's really the case~ I've burned some coal before, and it does smell like it, and it makes me dizzy when I smell it, but this one won't."

"It doesn't taste at all, this fire is quite strong, and it seems to be quite resistant to burning."

When the people around heard this, they all hurriedly went over to smell it, and then nodded and said one by one.

"Of course, the things in our Xishan coal industry are good things, I tell you, as long as a few pieces of this honeycomb coal, it is enough to use for a day, which can be used for cooking, can also be used to boil water, can also be used for heating, very convenient, practical, and very durable."

"This calorie is also very high, you see, it's just three pieces of honeycomb coal, only six cents, this calorie is okay~"

"Today, because it is the first day we have launched honeycomb coal, we have an activity, and we will give five honeycomb coals when we buy a honeycomb coal stove, which is worth ten cents."

"Now the charcoal has risen to nearly 600 wen a load, and this load of charcoal can't be burned for a few days, and this charcoal is only used for heating, it can't be used to boil water or cook at all."

"The honeycomb coal of our Xishan coal industry can also be used for cooking and boiling water, with more uses, greater effects, and the price is also very cheap, two cents for a briquette, and the large honeycomb coal stove is only 100 wen, and the small one is only 50 wen."

The eloquence of the shopkeeper is very good, and it is difficult to capture the hearts of consumers when selling things, so that the people around him who are watching the excitement are also very excited.

Everyone will calculate this accounting, especially the people at the bottom, this money is eager to be used as two pennies, and the economic account does not need to be calculated by the shopkeeper at all, everyone knows it, and it is also calculated clearly.
