With the passage of time, gradually, the entire Chang'an inside and outside, up and down, everyone who should know knows.

"You can't eat raw water!"

"If you eat it without boiling in raw water, you will be plagued by epidemics at least and your family will be ruined at worst!"

"Last year, Zhang Erlang in Xianyang just drank a sip of raw water from the Wei River, and he died in three days......"

According to the witch Guzhi, after twenty or thirty years of edification, even the illiterate slaves in Chang'an City, the lowest Qiantou, have heard of the saying that the witch Gu kills people invisibly.

Nowadays, it is natural to smell the Gu and change color.

As a result, the price of charcoal in Chang'an rose in response, and in two or three days, it rose to the point of 300 yuan per stone!

Compared with the previous price, Shengsheng has increased by four or five times!

In addition to the rich and noble, ordinary people really can't afford it!

If it weren't for the beginning of winter, a kind of warm bed called 'waiter bed' began to quietly become popular, which made Chang'an's heating demand drop a little, I'm afraid it would be more than 300 yuan!

The soaring price of charcoal has also made this simple and effective form of bed quickly popular.

The masons and carpenters have received countless orders and are very happy.

The undercurrent is silent, quietly surging.

The pressure came to Jing Zhaoyin first.

More than a month ago, Jing Zhaoyi changed blood.

The entire middle and high-level buildings were almost swept away.

Of the officials with more than 600 stones, only five escaped the calamity.

Although, these vacancies were quickly filled.

But because of this, Jing Zhaoyin became the most vulnerable and easily influenced by the officials below in Chang'an City.

And being born in his own way for a long time, it gives people the impression that he is loyal and diligent.

To put it simply, to be honest!

Honest people, of course, are the best bullies!

So, as soon as Yu Jiyan woke up, he found that the entire Chang'an official office of Jing Zhaoyi was already angry.

One petition after another rained down on his desk.

Without exception, they all said, 'Please give charcoal to show mercy to the subordinates', and they all said extremely miserable.

What 'our contemptible officials, this vulgar savage, fortunately Ming Gong did not give up, used as an official', one by one is even more loyal 'for several years, not to avoid the cold and heat, for the Ming Gong to drive, and there is no resentment', but 'Yu Lu is shallow, it is difficult to support the family', and now there is no charcoal cooking at home, and the whole family will not be able to open the pot.

Therefore, 'dare to ask the Ming Gong and have mercy on the subordinates', simply put, it is to be welfare.

And it's to give them fuel on a monthly basis.

Otherwise......

Although no one said it explicitly, the subtext was already coming out.

Yu Jiyan looked at it, his eyelids really jumped, and he was careful that his liver was plopping.

He immediately summoned Jing Zhaoyi Cheng Ma Xuan, who had just taken office, and asked, "How much grain is there in the account books of the official office now?" ”

Where did Ma Xuan know this?

He has only been in office for a month, to be precise, about 20 days, and 20 days ago, he was still the county lord of Hongnong County!

However, as an official, Ma Xuan knows very well that he must not let Shangguan know that you don't know, although this is very tongue-twisting, but it is indeed the law of survival in officialdom.

So just thinking about it, Ma Xuan said: "Back to the Ming Mansion, the following officials know, I'm afraid there are less than 10 million......"

"How can there be so little?" Yu Jiyan immediately swallowed his saliva violently, according to common sense, shouldn't Jing Zhaoyi have at least thirty or fifty million money as an emergency reserve?

"The Great Dynasty has just passed less than a month, and it has already spent most of the fiscal and tax revenues...... Ma Xuan sighed: "In addition to the drought in the middle of the last year, the people have failed to harvest, and there are very few people who can pay the autumn tax......

"How's that okay?" Yu Jiyan panicked.

Ten million dollars?

It will be enough to buy 30,000 stone of charcoal, and I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand it for two or three months!

What's more, if all the money is spent, if something happens, wouldn't he, Jing Zhao Yin, have to explain to the Son of Heaven why Jing Zhao Yin's treasury has no money?

"For today's plan, the Ming Mansion should go and ask to see Zhang Shizhong......" Ma Xuan looked at Yu Jiyan and said, "Maybe there is a way to serve the prince......"

Yu Jiyan also sighed and said, "That's all it can be......

………………………………

In the Jianzhang Palace, Zhang Yue lifted the ribbon, followed Guo Sui, and walked into the inner hall.

Suddenly, several pairs of eyes looked over.

Zhang Yue didn't even have to look up to know who the owners of these eyes were?

Shou Shaofu Qing Gongsun Yi, Tai Servant Shangguan Ji, Da Honglu Dai Ren and Shou Shui Heng Du Wei led the money prison Wang Xuan.

Except for Wang Xuan, who has been staying in Shanglin Yuan and is busy minting money, everyone else is acquaintances and even friends and world friends.

But now, they are all exhausted.

"The courtiers lead Xinfeng Shiyi to meet the edict, and my emperor has no borders!" Zhang Yue withstood the gaze of these people, came to the hall casually, and bowed to the Son of Heaven who was sitting on the top.

"Excuse me...... Flat-...... Give a seat ......" The Son of Heaven looked at Zhang Yue and waved his hand lightly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Yue bowed again, and then was led by Guo Sui, made it to the side of the hall, and sat opposite the big men of Jiuqing.

"This time I summoned Qing because of the last time Qing wrote a book......" The Son of Heaven opened his mouth slowly, his face was a little unhappy.

Mainly because Zhang Yue broke a scam on the paper a few days ago.

The priests and warlocks coaxed him into eating the morning dew for decades, and the crime of deceiving the king was naturally unforgivable.

But he, the son of heaven, is also disgraced.

Especially in the past few days, after thinking about it carefully, I also feel very embarrassed!

Just as Wencheng's scam was exposed, he ordered him to strangle to death in the palace left and right, and he thought about it when he looked back.

hurriedly announced to the public that Wen Cheng died of eating horse liver.

To be reasonable, if it weren't for Zhang Yue's method of offering health preservation, which was the guarantee of his longevity and longevity, and the aura of a god, he would have been angry for this one thing.

The board has also been knocked down a long time ago.

Even so, I have some thoughts in my heart.

After all, reasoning with the emperor is like going to preach the scriptures with a monk, and you can't talk about it at all.

Zhang Yue looked at it, and naturally knew that this was the case.

This majesty's temperament, he still doesn't know?

Ninety-nine percent of the kings in history have been like this!

is the best temper, known as the Han Taizong Xiaowen Emperor who is more generous than King Cheng and King Kang, after Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, exposed the deception of Xinhengping, Zhang Cang didn't have any credit, but deeply hated the one, which directly led to the end of his fifteen-year assistant career?

If you want to expose the emperor's new clothes, if you don't have some certainty and background, the end will be really miserable!

Fortunately, there are still a lot of cards in Zhang Yue's hand.

Especially for this majesty, I don't know how many carrots were prepared.

Zhang Yue stepped forward and bowed: "Even if Your Majesty does not summon the ministers, the ministers will enter the palace for the Hajj......"

"Hmmm......"

"If there is a happy event, it should be played in the ...... of Your Majesty"

"Oh......"

"The minister from an ancient book, read the ancients often with foie gras, duck liver to accompany food, it is said that Peng Zu has eaten it, its taste is fresh and fragrant, beneficial to the effect of prolonging life, the minister tried it, it is very delicious......"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, his face immediately became happy: "Is this really the case? ”

The ministers on the left and right immediately secretly wrote down the key points in their hearts.

"Indeed!" Zhang Yue bowed and said: "Chen'an dares to bully the king? ”

So, the Son of Heaven suddenly looked happy and said, "Qing has a heart!" ”

The little unhappiness in my heart suddenly flew to the country of Jawwa.

Zhang Yue bowed again: "In addition, the minister also heard that there are big fish in the deep sea, and their liver and brain can be refined to refine oil, which can also prolong life, and their fish meat can be refined and oiled, and they can also illuminate ......."

When the Son of Heaven listened, his heart moved, and he asked, "But whales?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" Zhang Yue immediately bowed.

The Son of Heaven got up suddenly, rubbing his hands, a little excited.

Legend has it that the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang has whale oil as a lamp, which can last for thousands of years.

In the palace and Guanzhong, there are also a lot of stories about Qin Shi Huang's OR whales.

"Penglai medicine can be obtained, and the big mackerel is often bitter, so it is not allowed to enter, and I am willing to shoot it with a strong crossbow......" This is what Xu Fuzeng said to Qin Shi Huang.

And when Qin Shi Huang went out to patrol the world for the last time, to Langya night dream and fight with the sea god, the first emperor said that he held a halberd and fought with a fish-headed sea god again and again, and even stepped into the sea frontier, chopping waves and waves, and finally slashing it!

This incident was recorded in the history books of the Qin people, and there were even witnesses - Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Beiping, recalled how he heard about this incident (Zhang Cang served as the main pillar in the Qin court of Qin Shi Huang (the predecessor of the imperial history)).

In addition, there is a legend in Guanzhong that Qin Shi Huang Xiulan Pond was 'two hundred miles from east to west, twenty miles from north to south, built as Penglai Mountain, carved stone for whales, two hundred zhang long'.

As the number one fan and coss of Qin Shi Huang (although His Majesty thought that others did not know), he has been following in the footsteps of Qin Shi Huang in everything for so many years.

Qin Shi Huang patrolled the world and shot a mackerel, and he personally shot a giant Jiao (in fact, it should be a python or crocodile) in the Yangtze River.

Qin Shi Huang was enshrined in Zen Cultivation Immortals, and he was also sealed as Zen Cultivation Immortals.

Naturally, when the Kunming Pool was repaired, he also ordered someone to chisel a stone carved whale in the pool, which was three zhang long, lifelike, and even every thunderstorm, its whisker tail could move (this thing has a physical object hidden in the Shaanxi History Museum, which was unearthed in the Kunming Pool site).

For so many years, he also figured out why Qin Shi Huang and he couldn't seek the elixir of immortality.

There was a serious suspicion that it was the whales in the sea that were stopping him and Qin Shi Huang.

Now, listening to Zhang Yue's report, the whale's liver and brain oil refining has the effect of prolonging life.

He immediately opened his mind, I'm afraid, the real reason is ......

The elixir of immortality is hidden in the whale's body!

Just thinking about it, he became excited, and immediately issued an edict, saying: "Order Sang Hongyang to order the ships of the sea to hunt and kill whales, take their livers, brains, and fats to refine oil, seal them separately, and deliver them to Chang'an, and I will see them in person!" ”

"No!" Guo Sui immediately took the order and left.

The corners of Zhang Yue's mouth quietly overflowed with a smile.

This is exactly what he wanted!

Prompted the development of the whaling industry in the Han Dynasty, because ......

In this pre-century era, the basic industrial technology was wild, and to quickly climb the technology tree, it was inseparable from all kinds of whale products known as industrial lubricants!
