Empress Zhang nodded slightly, and then said with a smile: "Okay, then wait until you are ready to take a look!" ”

Installing an iron stove is naturally not a time-consuming and laborious thing, and the people brought by Zhang Yong are also good hands, so it is naturally not difficult to do, so it was quickly installed. Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to signal Zhang Yong, who came in to report, to retreat, and then said to Queen Zhang with a smile: "Queen Mother, it's finished, let's try it?" ”

Empress Zhang also smiled and nodded: "Okay! With that, he stood up, and walked towards the side hall with the support of two people.

At this time, there were already a lot of people gathered here, and things were prepared to make a fire, and the best carbon was also brought over.

Zhu Houzhao took matters into his own hands, lit the fire, added carbon, watched the flames burn in the hearth, and the smoke floated out along the chimney, Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, and then said to Queen Zhang with a smile: "Queen Mother, you see, no matter what is burned, there will be no smoke in the house, and naturally there is no need to worry about carbon poisoning." ”

The iron kettle placed next to it was also filled with water, Zhu Houzhao put the iron kettle on the iron stove with a smile, and then said with a smile: "The fire will not be wasted, you can boil water anytime and anywhere." ”

The stove is very good, and the carbon is also good carbon, so the combustion is very sufficient, and the whirring sound comes from the road, and after a while, there is a warm feeling, which makes people feel warm. Zhu Houzhao said to Queen Zhang with a smile: "In this way, the queen mother will not be afraid of any cold in winter here." ”

"But it's a little dry in winter, and you still have to splash a little water in the house once in a while!" Zhu Houzhao instructed Empress Zhang's personal maid.

Empress Zhang curiously circled around the iron stove, and then said with a smile: "It's really a good thing!" ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled and nodded, of course this is a good thing, just when Zhu Houzhao wanted to say something, footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, and when he looked back, it was Zhu Youjiao, who looked panicked, glanced at the iron stove, and said, "What is this?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zhu Houzhao: "You made it?" ”

Empress Zhang nodded and said with a smile: "This is the iron donkey made by the emperor!" As he spoke, he took Zhu Youzhang's hand and began to introduce him, his face full of pride and relief.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and motioned for the others to go down, and the extra people naturally retreated quickly.

After listening to Empress Zhang's introduction, Zhu Youzhu also circled around the iron stove, listened to the whirring sound in the iron stove, and then looked at the steaming iron kettle, and nodded with satisfaction: "It is indeed a good thing!" As he spoke, he asked Zhu Houzhao casually, "How much did you fight?" ”

"Hit some!" Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't report the quantity, and said directly: "The sons and daughters of the Qianqing Palace have already prepared it, and a few big ones will be sent over to install them later, and my father will be able to use them tomorrow morning." With this iron stove, coal can also be burned in the house, which can save a lot of money for the people. ”

Although coal was also used in this era, most of it was more iron smelting, and the people used it relatively little.

Although there are some, but because it is easy to be poisoned, everyone is still used to burning charcoal at night, and the poor people can only suffer.

The invention of the iron furnace can stimulate the iron smelting industry, and at the same time it can also stimulate the coal mining industry, of course, it also brings a series of follow-up problems, such as black coal mines, such as coal pollution, but these problems have always existed, but not so big. In addition, burning charcoal and logging can cause soil erosion, which is also a big problem.

The emergence of a new thing, along with the benefits, the harms are naturally self-evident, which is also something that cannot be helped.

You can't see the benefits of a new thing because of its harm, let alone resist it because of the harm of a new thing, this is the price of progress, and before the productive forces are not developed, before the stomach is not full, there is no point in talking about environmental protection. This is Zhu Houzhao's deep understanding after coming to Daming, seeing those ragged stove households, Zhu Houzhao feels that development is the last word, and everything else is nonsense.

Who knows if there will be any smart people in the Ming Dynasty who realized the role of steam when they watched the iron stove boiling water, and finally made a steam engine.

Zhu Youzhang is very satisfied with his son's attitude, on the one hand, because he considers pretending to be himself, and his filial piety is commendable, on the other hand, because his son cares about the people very much, and he can think of the people when he is an iron stove, which is very good, his son, his heir, is more and more satisfied.

"Alright, let's go pretend!" Zhu Youzhu waved his hand and motioned to his son to hurry up and install an iron stove for himself, so as not to be a light bulb here. ”

Zhu Hou looked at his father's appearance, so he could only bow down and say, "Erchen, let's go!" After saying this, Zhu Houzhao turned around and walked outside.

Counted in all dynasties, his father's return to the palace should be regarded as the most harmonious, there has never been any contradiction, and his mother's love is stronger than Jinjian, there is no enchanting jian goods to compete for favor, and his son has become more than that. Zhu Houzhao, who was in a happy mood, began to be busy in the palace with his own people, and after the Qianqing Palace was over, there was also Qingning Palace, and it was indispensable over there.

Qingning Palace lives Zhu Houzhao's imperial grandmother, Zhu Youzhang's grandmother, Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's concubine, and Ming Xianzong's Zhu Jianshen's biological mother.

The empress dowager did not become the empress in her life, which is her regret, because the emperor is his son, who has repeatedly broken the last wishes of Lifa and Yingzong, excluded and wants to replace Empress Qian's position as the queen. After Ming Xianzong ascended the throne, he wanted to respect his mother-in-law Empress Qian and his biological mother Zhou Guifei as the empress dowager, and at the same time determine the emblem.

At that time, in order to please Zhou Guifei, the eunuch Xia Shi passed on the exclusive respect of Zhou Guifei as the queen mother. University scholars Li Xian and Peng Shi strived to be the two queen mothers.

Although the empress dowager is usually inconspicuous in the palace, no one dares to underestimate the empress dowager, first, filial piety, and secondly, the empress dowager raised Zhu Youzhang single-handedly, and is the person who gave Zhu Youzhang's mother's love, which is very, very important to Zhu Youzhang, so his status in the palace is naturally very high.

Zhu Houzhao will often pass, and this time is naturally no exception, not only to go in person, but also to accompany the empress dowager.

When he came back from Qingning Palace, it was dark, and Zhu Houzhao, who had been busy all afternoon, was also hungry, so he began to eat after sitting down.

After eating, Zhu Hou glanced at Yang Lian, who was waiting not far away, and then said, "Are all the people you are preparing ready?" ”

Yang Lian nodded, and then said: "Go back to Your Highness, you are ready, you are looking for a relative of the manager of the War Bureau, who has a small family and is a reliable person who is not noticeable!" The shops are also vacated, and they can be reopened at any time, and our manpower has also been sent out, and the slaves and maids will personally watch it. ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "That's good, I'll pull things over tomorrow, and then start selling, have you thought about expanding outward?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the slave has thought about it!" Yang Lian nodded again, and then said, "The slave wants to use a joint stock." ”

This kind of operation is not a new thing in Daming, and Zhu Houzhao was not surprised, just nodded and motioned for Yang Lian to continue.

"We are ready to join hands with Xungui and Xunqi, and jointly open a store in the local area, so that we can use their power to grow ourselves, and at the same time we can open the store as soon as possible. Saying that, Yang Lian looked at Zhu Houzhao with some concern.

This kind of joint stock is indeed conducive to the development of the store, and it is also conducive to the expansion of the Huanyi Bureau, but this is to divide the benefits, Yang Lian is careful that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will blame herself, and at the same time, she is also worried that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will blame herself for this.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said with a smile: "Very good, just follow this!" ”

Zhu Houzhao is not stupid, the chain management of later generations is much more skilled than this, first chain, then direct sales, there are fewer people who do this. With the help of local forces, things are much easier, and it is even more difficult for local places to intervene in this era, which is indeed a good way, as for what benefits are divided, these people are just distributors and channel providers.

If you can really lay a nationwide channel, the benefits will be great, and this upfront investment is nothing.

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Yang Lian suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Yes, the slave will do it!" ”

When Yang Lian left, Zhu Houzhao stretched his waist, and he could finally start, and sooner or later he could make this country what he wanted.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao got up early in the morning, and this morning Zhu Houzhao was going to go to the morning court, and the big iron stove in the Qianqing Palace had been installed, and Zhu Houzhao wanted to see the effect. Met Zhu Youzhang, the father and son came to the Qianqing Palace together, looking at the sleepy-eyed father, Zhu Houzhao knew that the father was estimated to have chatted with his mother until late last night.

When the father and son entered the main hall, the big iron stove here had already been burned, whirring and burning very strongly, and the inside of the house was also very warm.

Although the ministers still stood respectfully in place as usual, their eyes glanced at the roaring iron stove from time to time, and their hearts were full of curiosity. Glancing at them, Zhu Houzhao knew that his big iron furnace was ready, and there must be no problem, thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao was sure that the money was coming.

Compared with the big iron furnace, the early dynasty is not interesting, the mountains and rivers are calm, and it is peaceful, which is basically a matter of year-end summary.

Because of the money that Zhu Houzhao got in Yangzhou, the year-end expenses of the imperial court were sufficient, and the ministers were not sad one by one, which was much better than in previous years.

After the early dynasty, Zhu Houzhao returned to Xianyang Palace, turned to Liu Jin and said, "Has the news been released?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, it's all spread out!" Liu Jin nodded hurriedly and said, he didn't dare to delay, he ran to communicate the news early in the morning.
