When Liu Jian heard this, his heart trembled, and he suddenly got up, staring straight at the brazier, as if he had found something shocking.

Speaking of which, now the price of charcoal has risen to thirty or forty dollars a catty, not because charcoal is a precious thing, it is not easy to burn this thing, not only need to cut wood, but also need someone to build a kiln in the deep mountains and old forests, after firing for a month, it is necessary for someone to transport the charcoal out from the deep mountains, the cost of time and manpower is too high.

But this coal ...... It's cheap......

It seems to be the same as charcoal, but it doesn't smell bad, and it seems to burn for a longer time.

Liu Jian's heart was shocked, and then he glanced at the goose feather snow outside the window, looking thoughtful.

This is a less expensive heating material...... Seem......

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang also seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions became complicated.

For those of them who deal with national affairs, it seems that what they think will always be national affairs!

At this time, Xie Qian couldn't help but get closer, close to the brazier, and couldn't help but say, "Really...... Is it harmless? ”

In the tea room, the three scholars did not go to the duty room for an afternoon for the sake of a small pile of coal in the copper basin.

While drinking tea, the three of them looked at the anthracite that was still burning, as if they were holding their breath, waiting for the anthracite to burn to ashes.

But this anthracite is obviously much more resistant to burning than charcoal, and most of the day has passed, and the fire has not yet been extinguished.

As it turned out, the heat of the anthracite was evenly distributed, and it burned for an extremely long time, and the three old bones only had a small window here, but there was obviously nothing unusual about their bodies, and the room was very warm, cutting it off from the heavy snow outside, and the more time passed, the more shocked the three of them became.

After a long time, Li Dongyang said: "I heard that Fang Jifan instigated His Highness to do business, but I don't know if it has anything to do with this thing. ”

Li Dongyang's eyes were gloomy, and he glanced at Liu Jian and Xie Qian, while the two of them just exchanged a knowing look.

……

Early the next morning.

Fang Jifan was dressed in fashionable clothes and a unicorn suit inside, and rushed to Zhan Shifu in the snow.

Soon after the duty, people came to the palace, and the crown prince entered the palace to participate in the banquet.

The feast is the Hanlin lectures to the emperor, almost every few days, the Hanlin attendants and the attendants will gather in the Chongwen Hall once, of course, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao is also going to go, this is not only an opportunity to learn, sometimes, the emperor also has to test the crown prince's knowledge.

However, the eunuch who passed on the oracle glanced at Fang Jifan with a deep meaning: "Fang Zongqi, Your Majesty still has an order, let Fang Zongqi accompany His Highness." ”

In fact, in the past few days, Zhu Houzhao has been nervous, he is very worried about being caught by his father and investigating the theft.

But in the past few days, there has been no movement in the palace at all, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became active again, he rolled up his sleeves: "Let's go, Lao Fang, let's go together." ”

Belch...... Brother Fang's title has become Lao Fang, but Fang Jifan is not old, and Fang Jifan can't call Zhu Houzhao Xiao Zhu, no matter how you listen to it, it seems that he has been taken advantage of by Zhu Houzhao.

The two had to clean up, and with apprehension, they entered the palace through the Chongwen Gate and went to the Chongwen Palace.

In the Chongwen Palace, Emperor Hongzhi stretched his face and was already seated.

Dozens of Hanlin sat on the right side one by one.

As for the left, there are Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.

Xie Qian's eyes were very deep, as if he hadn't slept all night last night.

He was a stubborn man, determined to fight with anthracite, but he didn't believe it, and the anthracite was not extinguished, and as a result, it was enough to consume the first dawn, and the last bit of heat was dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief!

Hmph, fight with me Xie Qiandou, how old are you?

However, with such continuous combustion, the durability of anthracite is really amazing, and stubbornness is stubbornness, and Xie Qian seems to have thought of the more far-reaching use of this anthracite.

Emperor Hongzhi looked left and right, and saw Xie Qian's sluggish appearance: "Is Xie Qing unwell?" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, ...... The body is okay. ”

Emperor Hongzhi's face was a little lighter, but he sighed again: "It's freezing this day, and many Qing families are sick. ”

At this time, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan happened to come in, and Zhu Houzhao shrank his neck, looking honest.

What this guy is best at is pretending to be innocent, Fang Jifan really obeyed him, he is a grandfather outside, and when he arrives here, he will pretend to be a grandson, you will pretend, I won't pretend?

After saluting, Emperor Hongzhi first glared at Zhu Houzhao fiercely, looking like he hated iron but not steel.

It's just that the crown prince actually stole something and stole it on the head of Emperor Laozi, and Emperor Hongzhi didn't dare to make a noise about it, and nothing happened to Quan Dang.

For the other initiator, Fang Jifan, Emperor Hongzhi didn't have a good face.

Fang Jifan's heart was empty, and his instinct for survival made him praise generously without hesitation: "My Emperor Shengming, the minister sees that His Majesty's complexion is not good, which shows that when the snow is falling, His Majesty is still taking care of all opportunities and working on state affairs, which is a great fortune in the world!" ”

After all, stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, Fang Jifan understands this truth.

Emperor Hongzhi pretended to be careless, this Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan's recent behavior is said to be very absurd, since it can't be publicized, it doesn't mean that you can't find another reason to beat it.

With this thought in mind, Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Fang Jifan." ”

"The minister is here." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, when the three words Fang Jifan shouted out, it was like a heavenly sound. ”

“……”

"Ahem......" Zhu Houzhao coughed desperately, he felt that this old party was so shameless that even he couldn't stand it.

Emperor Hongzhi glared at him, although he knew that this guy was working hard, and he also knew that he had been absurd with the prince recently, but seeing this guy working so hard, he softened a little, after all, he was still a child, so he said: "I read your 'change the land and return to the stream' strategy last time, and I think it makes sense, but I have thought about it recently, but I feel that this strategy of changing the land and returning to the stream may not be feasible." ”

This is nothing to say, I want to find a reason to suppress Fang Jifan, so as not to get carried away.

Fang Jifan said: "Please also ask Your Majesty for advice." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Although this strategy is good, but the movement is too big, if the country and the people are safe, take advantage of the trend, it will be fine." Nowadays, natural disasters are frequent, and once the policy of changing the land and returning to the southwest Tusi is implemented, the Tusi in various places must be dissatisfied, and it may cause greater disasters. According to me, now, the Tusi Rebellion has just subsided, the Tusi are afraid, and they dare not breed any more troubles, and when the time comes, the court will give them some rewards, and they will inevitably not dare to make another time, the stability of the southwest is related to the overall situation of the country, and changing the land is a fierce medicine, not to be easily tried. ”

Emperor Hongzhi said that the head is the Tao.

However, in fact, his words are also reasonable, although the problem in the southwest has not been eradicated now, but after all, the rebellion has just been suppressed, so it is really inappropriate to rashly implement the reform of the land and return to the stream.

Fang Jifan remembered in his heart that it seemed that just this year, there seemed to be a rebellion in Guizhou and Guangxi, which was not only recorded in the county chronicles of Qinglong County, Guizhou Province, but also in the Ming Shilu, there were many records.

Under normal circumstances, the imperial court has just quelled the rebellion, even if the Tusi is dissatisfied, he will be afraid, but this time the rebellion happened suddenly.

Fang Jifan shook his head: "The minister thinks that if he does not govern the root of the land by changing the land and returning to the stream, the rebellion in Guangxi, especially in Guizhou, will only intensify, and His Majesty wants to appease it, which is tantamount to raising a tiger for trouble, and the minister dares to assert that it will not be long before a new rebellion will arise, and the momentum will be huge." ”

As soon as he said this, those Hanlin people suddenly looked angry one by one!

Crow's mouth, you are, now that the southwest is resettled, how can there be another rebellion, it's just nonsense!
