The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

"If that's the case, that's a good baby!" Hong Dixin stood up, clapped his palms, and his eyes sparkled, "When winter comes, a lot of firewood is needed in Fuzhou City.

It can educate people for ten years and trees for a hundred years. Look at the woods outside this city, sooner or later they will be cut down. Now that the waste is being used, everyone will switch to this thing, which can not only save a lot of firewood, but also cut down some forests. ”

"Yes, there are hundreds of thousands of Dingkou in Fuzhou City, and most people can't afford white charcoal. It's cheap, some crushed cinders, and clay, it's not worth anything at all.

But if it is promoted, it will really be a blessing for the people. Not to mention saving a lot of silver, at least in the future, our Fuzhou City will not be in winter, and the smoke billowing from the chimneys of every house, covering the sky and the sun. ”

Yan Yingyuan was compassionate and said with a smile.

In the days when there was no honeycomb coal, refined coal and firewood were used for cooking. An average family of five needs at least 15 or 6 catties of coal a day, and a large population needs to use 30 or 40 catties.

According to the price of one penny and two catties of coal, a household spends 8 to 20 yuan a day on coal, which is 240 to 600 yuan a month, and 2 to 56 taels of silver a year.

This is just a small amount of money for wealthy large families. But for ordinary people, spending on fuel is a lot of money.

But if you don't spend it, you can't do it, Fuzhou is also a big city, not an ordinary mountain and rural village, you can cut firewood and burn it in the mountains and forests at will.

As for the use of firewood, if it is not cut by yourself, it is even more extravagant. On the market, a cart of firewood is about one-third more expensive than a cart of refined coal.

If you switch to honeycomb coal, you only need three briquettes a day to cook, which can undoubtedly reduce expenses by two-thirds, which is really good news for the people.

"Not only civilian, but also military." Qin Haoming's eyes flashed, and he said: "This thing can be equipped for the army, and the army is stationed outside, and it has to cut wood for heating and cooking every day, which is very necessary."

Sometimes a lot of soldiers have to be sent out to cut down trees. If there is such a thing, it can liberate many soldiers. ”

Now the troops are heating, and the senior generals can still supply a certain amount of charcoal. But ordinary officers and soldiers can only burn wood for warmth.

Especially in the winter field battles, dry firewood is hard to find. Many generals often struggled to find some dry firewood, and sometimes had to endure the smoke of burning wet firewood for a long time.

"Equipping honeycomb stoves in the army, and preparing one for each general flag, can solve the problem of heating the camp tents.

What's more, the soldiers still have boiled water to drink and hot water to drink from time to time, and they no longer have to take cold showers to drink cold boiled water. You say, "Isn't that the truth?" ”

"Governor Qin is smart, and he really doesn't think about this aspect." Li Shouye blinked his eyes and said complimentally.

"You haven't been a big soldier, you don't know what it's like to live in a tent in the wild. A few months ago in the Mongolian steppe, some soldiers were covered with chilblains.

At that time, we were trying to find some firewood to keep warm, but it was a big headache. ”

Qin Haoming sighed slightly, in the era of insufficient logistics support, being a soldier is undoubtedly a very hard thing.

"Yes, this honeycomb coal is so durable, it doesn't cost much media in a day, the army only needs to buy these cinders, and then the soldiers themselves make such honeycomb coal, which can solve the big problem of heating in winter.

In addition, when sailing on the sea, the storage of firewood takes up most of the ship's cabin, and sometimes the calculation is inaccurate or the voyage is delayed, and there is a risk of running out of cooking.

Now there's this thing, worry-free! ”

Drawing inferences from one another, Lu Xinrong excitedly slapped his palms and praised loudly.

Using the same firewood space to store honeycomb coal can increase the efficiency several times, and the sea voyage time can be longer, which means more durable combat effectiveness.

"Husband, with such a convenient and effective object, we can sell honeycomb coal and honeycomb balls, even if we only make a penny, we will make money every day.

After all, it is to be used every day, and the Ming Dynasty has a large population, even if one-tenth of the people choose to use honeycomb coal, it is very considerable. ”

Yan Yunniang, who was beside Qin Haoming, saw that everyone was talking lively, and she also said cutely with bright big eyes.

A word woke up the person in the dream, and surprise flashed in the eyes of everyone present, and they secretly praised the second lady in their hearts for being really smart, and they saw the huge business opportunities in it in an instant.

"This thing, the technical content is not large, and it is easy to produce and copy. However, if you do it first, you can make a lot of money, not only honeycomb coal, but also this honeycomb stove can sell for a lot of money.

I dare not say that other places still have an advantage in Fujian and Guangdong provinces. ”

Qin Hao smiled at Yun Niang and affirmed her thoughts.

While these household necessities are convenient for the common people, of course, they should be used to make profits and raise the army.

The situation in Chongzhen's thirteenth year was quite stable, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were temporarily suppressed by Yang Sichang, and Jiannu did not make any moves, which was a good opportunity for him to expand the army and develop his power.

And money, food, and grass are the issues that he has to pay attention to.

"In this way, isn't the Governor's Mansion raising the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission recently, and these livelihood products are operated by its subordinate Commercial Division, what do you think?"

Naturally, everyone had no objections, and they all said yes or good.

Seeing that the matter seemed to be over, Li Xiang stepped forward and reported on the actions of the fat eighth master and the Nanyang Bureau today.

"I thought that if all the merchants and shops in Fuzhou City acted according to this law, they should have 200,000 taels of silver every year.

This money is one thing, and the market will also be full of ears and eyes, but if there is wind and grass, Qin Du will be able to know it as soon as possible, which is the biggest benefit.

Every time the imperial court wants to raise taxes, it is said from top to bottom that it disturbs the people, and the imperial court should not compete with the people for profit.

just robbed them of their jobs, and when they found out about it, they were afraid that they would jump to their feet. ”

After listening to the report, Yan Yingyuan shook his head and sighed.

"It's just a violent counter-violence, ordinary merchants will be exploited anyway, instead of handing over the gang protection money, it is better for us to collect it."

Qin Haoming pursed his lips and was disdainful.

Competing with the people for profit, this is completely bullshit article, and it is a civil official pretending to be stupid.

Under this banner, they monopolized the profiteering industry and did not have to pay taxes, and the servants and gangsters did not dare to extort them.

As for ordinary merchants, they can escape the exploitation, impossible things, and even, these forces are supported by them behind them.

It was a good thing, but it had to be solved by gang means, which was really helpless!

During the Wanli period, Zhang Shoufu often said that the wealth of the world was a fixed number. The state treasury should have a surplus of accumulation, and first, it should clear the acres of land, find out the hidden fields of those who have been wiped out, and increase the tax base.

Second, it is necessary to merge the levy of forced labor, because the matter of conscription has become a futile evil government of the people's strength, if it is not converted into money and collected, what kind of labor matters, and then it is distributed, the state will have less unnecessary subsidies and losses.

The third is to live within the limits of income and save various expenses...... But if Qin Du's approach can be implemented in the entire Ming Dynasty, how much more money will be paid out of thin air...... National strength is also ......"

This is the economic policy that Zhang Juzheng originally instilled in the little emperor of Wanli, and it is a tightened fiscal practice, but now it is read out by Hong Dixin's mouth, but it has a bit of irony.

It's just that when it comes to the back, he feels that it is impossible, so he doesn't say anything more.
