When His Majesty left the palace, it was almost dusk.

This is also normal, the days of winter are shortening every day.

Therefore, as soon as I arrived at home, the sky darkened, and the north wind howled in the alley of Qili, making a sad whimper.

"Lord......" As soon as Zhang Yue entered the house, Tian He greeted him, took off his coat for him, and said with a smile: "You can come back, Xinfeng's workshop commander handed over the worship post today, saying that he had something to ask to see, but you were not at home, so the official said goodbye and returned to ......."

"Ding Slow?" When Zhang Yue heard this, he immediately asked, "What happened to Ding Lingyi?" ”

"It is said that it is a thing that the lord once entrusted him to create, and it has an eyebrow......" Tian He said softly.

When Zhang Yue heard this, his face immediately showed joy.

Before leaving Xinfeng, Zhang Yue gave Ding Shu a task.

It is to make a honeycomb coal iron mold.

In the eighties and nineties of the later generations, and even in the new century, the vast number of rural areas and even cities widely used honeycomb coal for heating and cooking.

It's a fuel source that's simple, easy to use, and easy to make.

The iron mold used to make honeycomb coal is a key part of Xinfeng's industrial upgrading that Zhang Yue aims at and is targeting!

Because, although this thing is not high-tech, it involves all aspects of iron smelting, forging and production.

The most important thing is that as long as it is studied, the demand is almost infinite!

Not to mention, Chang'an City alone may have an annual demand of more than 5,000 pieces.

An iron mold should weigh at least ten catties (Han catties), and the profit should be at least three times more!

The most important thing is that if honeycomb coal is widely promoted, China's coal reserves and distribution will be enough to quickly replace the old firewood fuel!

It has an unimaginable role in maintaining water and soil and stabilizing the ecology of the upper reaches of the Yellow River!

It can also increase employment, expand the upgrading and redevelopment of the coal industry, and lay the foundation for the future coal industry.

However, having said that, in later generations, the iron molds that could be made by hand by a small blacksmith involved a lot of key technologies in this pre-AD era.

Not to mention, it is very difficult to make pig iron into iron rods and then put them into iron molds.

Not to mention, the dozen or so slender iron drills of the iron mold.

Fortunately, Ding Huan and his disciples are the best at this kind of delicate work.

Carefully calculating the time, it seems that it is only more than a month, and they have successfully solved the problem!

Zhang Yue couldn't suppress the joy in his heart at all, and immediately went home to confess to his sister-in-law, and didn't even have time to warm up with Jin Shaofu, so he hurriedly drove out and went straight to Ding's mansion.

When he arrived at Ding's Mansion, Zhang Yue slammed the door and entered, and Ding Xuan immediately greeted him and bowed respectfully: "I didn't expect the servant to come in the starry night, and the Xiaguan Mansion is honored to arrive!" ”

For Zhang Yue, Ding Shu is now completely convinced.

Since joining Xinfeng, he has been appointed as a workshop commander and presided over all the technical and workshop affairs of Xinfeng Workshop, he has been in power, asking for money, money, and people.

Even, even the technical materials of many predecessors in the Shaofu and even the Shiqu Pavilion, and even the technical materials of the Qin Shaofu that Xiao He sorted out from the ruins of the Qin Palace, were all open to him and allowed them to be read.

Ding Xuan suddenly soared into the ocean of knowledge and wisdom, unable to extricate himself.

In particular, Zhang Yue sorted out from the Shiqu Pavilion and brought him seventy volumes of Mozi, three volumes of Tian Yuzi, seven volumes of My son, and twenty volumes of Chaozi, which made him even more satisfied!

The ideological works of these Mohist sages have long been lost and dispersed for more than a hundred years!

Since Tian Heng killed himself, the Mohists have not been able to produce another great son in a hundred years, because they have lost these ideological works and lost these spiritual guidance and programs.

Without theory and program, who can play?

At the beginning, Ding Zhuan's father and brother were fooled into Shouchun by the miscellaneous family Wu with three volumes of my son.

And now, Zhang Yue gave him more than 100 volumes!

That in itself was enough to make him die.

Not to mention, Zhang Yue also gave him enough trust and support.

so that he could receive disciples and even preach in the Xinfeng Workshop Garden.

The spark is gradually ignited.

Although I don't know very well in my heart, why this handsome man of Confucian ram studies would lend a helping hand to him, a remnant of the Mo family.

But the gratitude is very deep.

And since ancient times, the disciples of the Mo family have valued kindness and righteousness the most.

Receive the grace of others, go to the soup and go to the fire, die without spinning, and repay it!

Although Ding Xuan is not an orthodox disciple of the Mo family, he has not lost this heart.

Zhang Yue didn't say too much to greet, pulled up Ding Zhuan, and said, "Hearing the good news of Ding Gong, can I sit in peace?" ”

"Please ...... in the waiter" Ding slowly bowed his hand, led Zhang Yue into the inner house, and then took out the iron mold he brought to Chang'an.

Zhang Yue's eyes lit up when he saw it, he stepped forward, took the iron mold, stroked the smooth and cold texture of its surface, and then lifted the mold rod, carefully measured its bottom, and finally said to Ding with great joy: "Ding Gong made this thing, I thank Gong for the world!" ”

Ding listened slowly, but he was a little confused, and asked, "Serving Zhonggong, isn't it like this?" ”

I can't see through Zhang Yue Dingzhuan.

Helping him, a remnant of the Mo family, collecting and providing Mo classics, and even acquiescing and even though he accepted apprentices in the workshop garden, it may be understood that this servant wanted to emulate Zhang Cang, the original Wenhou of Beiping.

During the period when the late Han family was famous, it was to vigorously promote and use people from hundreds of schools, regardless of academic and political opinions, as long as it was useful.

However, it is a bit too much to indulge in all kinds of skills, even such an iron tool of unknown purpose, so solemnly.

Zhang Yue was holding the iron mold in his hand and said with a smile: "How can it be more than that?" ”

He raised the iron model and said softly, "Ding Gong, wait and see!" ”

"This thing...... will change the world! ”

Holding this iron mold, Zhang Yue was full of pride.

The small iron mold seems simple, as if there is no technical content, as long as the breakthrough of those processes, it can be manufactured on a large scale.

But its impact is impossible to assess!

As the saying of later generations - a butterfly in South America can set off a storm with a flap of its wings!

The same is true for iron molds!

Speaking of this, Zhang Yue and Ding said goodbye, hurried home, and then immediately entered the study, picked up the pen and began to write the note.

It's just that after writing a short paragraph, Zhang Yue suddenly stopped writing and fell into deep thought.

Because he found that honeycomb coal was useful, but it was something that only he knew, and no one else knew, especially when it came to the son and the courtiers.

If you are arrogant, ask the state to support the promotion of iron molds and the use of honeycomb coal.

I'm afraid that nine times out of ten, the situation will turn out to be when Dong Zhongshu called for the planting of wheat.

In the end, it becomes a mere appeal, and it cannot gain support at the national level!

If the support and advocacy of the state are lost, and even policy support, the promotion of honeycomb coal and iron mold will take a hundred years to enter thousands of households.

It's cold to that daylily!

After all, the iron mold weighs 10 catties and is made of pig iron, and even if it is calculated at a simple iron price, the cost is almost 400 yuan (Note 1)

Counting processing costs, profits, and retail profits, if the final market price is less than 1,000 yuan, no one will have any incentive to produce.

After all, Tai Shi Gong said: If a certain transaction has a profit of less than 20%, it is not a good way.

It is only profit that gives the workshop owner and the world's merchants the incentive to produce, sell and promote it.

Therefore, if this thing wants to be promoted, it is inseparable from national orders.

In particular, Shaofu, Taifu, Dahonglu and Weiwei, which have tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of orders from super institutions with employees.

In fact, many things, in the early days, could only be maintained by state orders.

Can......

Now, Zhang Yue has empty lips and white teeth, and he wants the state to pay for the purchase of iron molds to produce honeycomb coal?

I'm afraid that even Gongsun Yi and Shangguan Ji may not be able to support it!

No one's money is blown by the wind.

When you touch your mouth, you ask someone else to come up with real money, or even take out part of the original budget to help you?

Let's be funny!

They are not Bethune!

Therefore, there must be a good excuse or a way to drive the Son of Heaven and the courtiers to have this motivation to do things!

So what excuse or method can achieve this effect?

Zhang Yue fell into deep thought.

For a while, I was even more irritable, and at this moment, the door was pushed open.

"Husband, the concubine made some chicken soup for you...... Jin Shaofu took a cup of chicken soup, walked to Zhang Yue's side, and said softly: "Drink it while it's hot......"

Zhang Yue took the soup cup, smelled it, the fragrance of the chicken soup was refreshing, and when he opened the lid of the bowl, it was even clearer, like clear water, Jin Shaofu's cooking skills are really getting better and better!

Looking at the chicken soup in the bowl, Zhang Yue was suddenly stunned, and then looked at Jin Shaofu, and said ecstatically: "Thank you Shaofu, relieve my worries!" ”

Jin Shaofu's face was full of doubts, and he was even a little overwhelmed.

Zhang Yue drank all the chicken soup in one gulp, put down the soup bowl, and then hugged the delicate body of this beauty, kissed her on the cheek, sniffed the aroma on her body, and then looked at her more and more plump figure, Zhang Yue couldn't help but whisper in Jin Shaofu's ear: "Young husband, go back to the room first and wait, the husband will come soon......"

When Jin Shaofu heard this, he immediately blushed his cheeks, and Ying Ying said a promise, saying: "Please forgive your husband, the concubine will not be able to serve the pillow in the next October, I am afraid that she will no longer be able to serve the pillow......

"Huh?" Zhang Yue was stunned at first, and then he became ecstatic, held Jin Shaofu's Rouyi, and asked, "What does Shaofu mean?" I'm going to be a dad? ”

"Well...... Jin Shaofu hugged Zhang Yue's arm with shame and joy, buried his head in Zhang Yue's chest, and said softly: "Yesterday, the concubine was unwell, so I invited my sister from Chun Yu's family to come to the house to check the pulse, and my sister said yes...... Joy ......"

When Zhang Yue heard this, he immediately became overjoyed.

The Chunyu family is the most famous gynecologist in the Han family, and has been a private gynecological consultant for court concubines and dignitaries for nearly 70 years since the time of Taizong.

His attainments in the field of gynecology are unmatched in the whole world.

Since it was said by someone from Chunyu's family, it would naturally not be wrong.
