After this incident, the expression and expression of the Son of Heaven were much relieved.

He sat down, beckoned to Zhang Yue, and said, "This time Zhaoqing entered the palace, it was the invitation of all Aiqing......

Gongsun Yi, Shangguan Ji, Dai Ren and Wang Xuan, who were sitting opposite Zhang Yue, all got up immediately, bowed to Zhang Yue, and said, "There is a labor service ......."

They're really anxious these days!

I'm about to get depressed by the people below!

There's no way, Shaofu, Taifu, Da Honglu, and Shui Heng Du Wei are all super official offices with countless employees!

Taking Shaofu as an example, just the weaving room controlled by it has 100,000 slaves and craftsmen.

In Chang'an City alone, there were thousands of female workers, weaving silk and cloth day and night for the royal family and the army.

And the servants have divisions, thirty-six gardens and twenty-four stables, and seven or eight are in Guanzhong.

In particular, the stables with royal horses, Dawan horses, and Wusun horses are near Chang'an.

Officials, herdsmen and workers, in the thousands.

There are thousands of people in Gyeonggi.

And the Lieutenant of Shui Heng, who controls the affairs of Shanglin Yuan and coinage, and the people and workers under his command are tens of thousands!

And in the past few days, the officials, officials, and even slaves and maids under their rule have been constantly calling for hot rice and boiling water.

Although for now, it can be appeased.

But......

In a few days, it may not be!

Not to mention, once someone is dissatisfied and resentful, it will be very bad!

Don't look at whether it is Shaofu or Shui Heng Duwei, it is all officials, slaves, maids and tenant farmers who account for the majority.

But do you dare to humiliate these people at will?

Do you really think that if others call 'officials, slaves, and maids' and 'common people', they really have no backers, no power and no power?

Hehe!

Not to mention, the tenants of Shanglin Yuan are not ordinary tenants.

They are the tenants of the heavenly family who rent the Huangtian Huangzhuang!

It is the people of the Son of Heaven!

Among them, the hidden dragon and crouching tiger, I don't know how many!

You must know that the tenant farmers in Shanglin Garden, except for those temporarily resettled during the famine, are almost all war widows and orphans adopted by the Son of Heaven and the people who originally lived in the garden.

It is one of the sources of soldiers for the period gate army and Yu Lin Lang!

Who knows, a certain seemingly loyal and honest person in Shanglin Yuan, who is weak and deceitful, his father and brother are the loyal ministers and righteous men who once protected the wings of the Son of Heaven, patrolled the world, were loyal, and even Jane was in the emperor's heart?

What's more troublesome is that because before the Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he would be enshrined in Shanglin Yuan to open a garden and learn to govern the people, just like the Bowangyuan of the prince Liu Ju - the people of Bowangyuan are the prince's personal subjects, even if this ascends the throne in the future, he will send an envoy to express condolences during the New Year's holidays, and the first sentence at the beginning of the edict must be: The emperor sent an envoy to ask his father how he was.

And when today's son ascended the throne, it was Sixian Yuan who was entitled.

There are more than 300 households, although the original people of Sixianyuan have passed away, but their children and grandchildren are still there.

These people are still the fathers and brothers of today.

In the future, the palace car was driven, and the Son of Heaven was buried in the Mao Mausoleum, guarding the mountain mausoleum, taking care of the temple, cleaning the road, and even on the day of his birth, he was clothed and crowned, and it was these people and their descendants who patrolled the pass.

Can you offend these people?

Dare to offend?

Don't die!

Do you really think they are ordinary people?

That is a loyal minister who reassures and believes the Son of Heaven more than eunuchs and concubines!

They are the shield and brother of the Son of Heaven, and they are the most loyal group!

Therefore, Wang Xuan is the most anxious person.

In the past few days, several old men who live in the area of Sixian Yuan have come to see him on crutches.

In a word-Wang Lingjun still remembers the suffering of Sixianyuan's father?

Just this sentence scared Wang Xuan's farts and urine, tossing and turning, and unable to sleep day and night.

At the beginning, Jiang acted as the lieutenant of Shui Heng, and the power leaned towards the government and the opposition, why was he ousted from power?

Is it really just corruption being exposed?

Isn't it too domineering, offending these sons of heaven who can't afford to be offended in Shanglin Yuan?

The documents of the complaint, day and night, were sent to Lantai.

So, even if the Son of Heaven wanted to go back to protect Jiangchong at that time, he couldn't go back to protect it.

Since then, Jiang Chong has lost his holy favor and his status has plummeted.

finally became a stepping stone for the mid-chamberlain in front of him......

Therefore, Wang Xuan was the first to come out of the queue and said to Zhang Yue: "In the past, the servant Zhonggong wrote to the Son of Heaven, saying that there is Gu in the water, and it needs to be boiled to kill the Gu before it can be drunk...... Although there are many mountains and trees in the upper forest garden, they are all royal forbidden gardens, and they are not allowed to be cut down at will......

Shangguan Ji and the others immediately followed closely and bowed to Zhang Yue: "I wish to serve the middle school!" ”

There is no way, these big people can call and drink to their subordinates, but in the face of the voices of tens of thousands of directly subordinate craftsmen, officials, slaves and maids, and ordinary people, they are trembling and unable to sleep at night.

What's more, these people's demands are actually not 'excessive'.

They just want to have the same power as the dignitaries and nobles to be free from being harmed by 'Gu worms'.

It is also a legitimate and reasonable request!

After all, the Han family pays attention to 'punishment has no rank', and the corresponding reward has no grade.

So theoretically, whether it is a common man, a craftsman, or even a slave or maid, they all have the same basic rights as the two thousand stones of the princes and nobles.

Whether it is a crime or a meritorious service, it is all the same, you can be rewarded as much as you deserve, and you can be given as many lashes as you should.

It won't happen, the lieges kill people, and they can pay some money, but the common people kill people to involve the nine clans.

Zhang Yue looked at them, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Gentlemen, I don't dare to accept it!" ”

He turned to face the Son of Heaven and bowed respectfully: "Your Majesty, after the book said this, the minister thought about it day and night at home, looking for a cheap source of fuel......

"Fortunately, His Majesty Hongfu, the subordinate official of the minister, Xinfeng Workshop Garden Zuo Ling Ding is good at mechanical ingenuity, is to make iron molds, invent honeycomb coal, mix peat with sawdust and loess, and easily make honeycomb coal......"

Zhang Yue then focused on the advantages and benefits of this honeycomb coal, especially the cheapness, easy availability and convenience.

Not to mention Gongsun Yi, Wang Xuan and others, even the Son of Heaven was overjoyed to hear it!

No way, fuel is the weakness of the small peasant economy in feudal society!

Not to mention, just this Weiyang Palace, Jianzhang Palace and other palaces, as well as the palaces and palaces in Guanzhong, eunuchs, slaves, palace maids, concubines, all kinds of charcoal and straw required every day are an astronomical amount.

I don't know how much fuel the Jiuqing Government Office and Chang'an Shimin need every day!

Every year, the state spends tens of thousands of dollars on fuel.

This is still based on the fact that there are tens of thousands of ghosts (convicts who cut wood and burn charcoal) in the Han Shaofu, working day and night.

Now, if the iron mold and honeycomb coal proposed by Zhang Yue really have this effect......

Just by liberating those tens of thousands of ghosts and using them for other affairs, Shaofu can make a lot of money.

"Really?" The Son of Heaven asked.

"Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare to bully the king!" Zhang Yue said: "It's just that this honeycomb coal, studied by the ministers, still has some drawbacks......

"The main thing is that charcoal burns, which can produce poisonous gas, and if it is a secret room and cannot be ventilated, it will kill people in an invisible ......"

"It must be ventilated and exhausted in order to be harmless to people......"

Zhang Yue didn't want to promote honeycomb coal, causing hundreds of innocent souls!

But this matter is an innocuous detail for the Son of Heaven and Gongsun Yi and others.

Is there anything perfect in the world?

The country opens iron and copper mines, and thousands or even tens of thousands of people die from mines every year!

The salt-boiling craftsmen in the salt ponds of the world are even more unknown to those who are harmed by brine.

In the past, for the sake of court fuel, Shaofu drove tens of thousands of prisoners to cut wood and burn charcoal, and the prisoners who died in the mountains and forests have been 99,000 if not 100,000 in a hundred years.

In contrast, this honeycomb coal, if it can really be as Zhang Yue said, is better than charcoal, burns longer, and is cheaper.

What is a poisonous gas that can be dissolved just by ventilation and exhaust?

The Son of Heaven smiled and said: "In this case, may Guanqing's honeycomb coal and iron mold ......"

…………………………

So, an hour later, when the envoy of the palace sent several honeycomb coals and iron molds from Zhang's mansion to the palace, Zhang Yue was in a kitchen in this Jianzhang Palace, first lit a fire with charcoal, and then put the honeycomb coal into it.

Sure enough, in a moment, the honeycomb coal in the stove immediately burned, and when it turned red, Zhang Yue took it out with iron tongs and took it out of the door.

The Son of Heaven and his ministers immediately gathered around, and looked in amazement at the honeycomb coal that had left the stove and was already burning vigorously, even very hot.

"Good! Good! Gongsun Yi immediately praised: "It's really good to serve this thing!" ”

Peat is all over the mountains and fields in Guanzhong.

Not to mention, out of Chang'an, just near Bowangyuan, there is a black peat mountain.

As long as you give up your strength, a strong man can dig thousands of catties a day!

Compared with the hard work of cutting wood and charcoal in the past, it is much more labor-saving and cost-effective.

"It's not bad, it's good for the country and the people!" Wang Xuan also praised: "In the old days, for charcoal, Guanzhong felled mountains and forests and trees for many years, and destroyed mountains, rivers and forests, which ultimately violated the training of the ancestors!" ”

Although the Zhuxia people do not understand what ecology and environmental protection are.

However, the teachings of the previous kings and the natural spirit of the previous kings are all about maintaining the balance between man and nature.

Even the hunters in the countryside know that they cannot shoot the pregnant female beast, and even the local people will restrain the bear children from making trouble in the spring, especially when they go up to the trees to dig birds' nests.

Tang Wu is even more open on three sides, and only one percent is taken.

The protection of mountains, rivers and vegetation has been established since ancient times.

The purpose of the establishment of Shanglin Yuan is to prepare for disasters and save for emergencies.

It's just a pity that with the growth of the population, even if the teachings of the previous kings are still in the ears, they have to speed up the pace of cutting down trees.

And the evil consequences have now become apparent.

The sediment content of the Yellow River has increased more than ten times in the past 100 years.

From the great river in the early Han Dynasty, it has become the Yellow River today!

Although people don't know that the current situation of the Yellow River is caused by itself, there are already some smart people who have begun to see the problem in some signs.

Now, with this cheap and convenient peat, what charcoal is needed there?

Wang Xuan immediately looked at the unsightly iron model and asked, "Shizhonggong, I don't know what this thing costs?" ”
