After arranging the countermeasures, Yang Gai listened to some things about the war, and then he came out of the platform.

The platform was very close to the Qianqing Palace, and Yang had not taken a few steps out of the platform, and he remembered something important.

"Big companion, when will Fang Hongzan arrive in the capital?" Yang Reform suddenly asked, Yang Reform ordered the silver to be shipped a few months ago, but now he is still doing it, no wonder the silver is transported slowly, just because the silver is too much, too hot, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will get a big event, or that kind of earth-shattering event.

Originally, if you want to go fast, you will be in Beijing in a month and a half at most, but do you dare to go by sea? No one dares to go, even Yang Reform doesn't want the silver to go by sea, these silver are too important to Yang Reform, if it is really taken by anyone, Yang Reform has no place to cry, even if no one gets it, in case God gets it into the sea, Yang Reform can still only cry, so he does not dare to take the sea route.

Originally, Fang Hongzan really wanted to take the land route and transport it by horse-drawn carriage, which was the safest, not afraid of sinking to the bottom of the sea, nor afraid of sinking to the bottom of the river, but this silver was too much, he couldn't see it at all, and he had to use thousands of carts to pull it, so many cars, the front ones had walked dozens of miles, and the back ones had not left the house, although this seemed to be the safest, in fact, it was the most unsafe, even if it was guarded by thousands of brocade guards, he didn't dare to say that there was no problem.

Therefore, in the end, you still have to take the Grand Canal, which is much simpler to load the silver on the boat, and transport it over like transporting grain, but in Fang Hongzan's opinion, the Grand Canal is also unsafe, the boat is on the water, what if it sinks? If there is a little accident, this boat's silver is enough to cut his head ten times, therefore, Fang Hongzan is heavily protected, do everything possible, must ensure that the silver is transported to Beijing without fail, this silver is too much, too hot, he has to be cautious, even if the emperor asked him to quickly transport the silver to the capital, but Fang Hongzan did not dare to be careless, and persuaded the emperor to agree to his method, the river is a boat carrying silver, there are gunboats in front to open the way, and there are gunboats in the back with broken tails, true and false boats transporting silver, Twice as much as what is actually needed, in order to confuse others, in addition to the Jinyiwei on the ship, is the new army, in order to defend against possible silver robbers, there are Jinyiwei and the new army on both sides of the shore, and the boat starts to drive after a long time of dawn, the sun and Lao Gao have to find a place to dock, don't go on rainy days, don't go on foggy days, don't go when the water rises, in short, Fang Hongzan is to avoid all unnecessary troubles, and don't give the potential "enemy" any chance to take advantage of.

Therefore, this silver, it has been transported for a few months, and it has not yet arrived in Beijing, Yang Reform also knows that this matter has to be operated carefully, in case there is any mistake, then he really can't eat and walk around, in case something really goes wrong, even if he kills Fang Hongzan, it will not have any effect, if there is really a problem, then he will lose all his face.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's almost time to Tongzhou, that is, in the past few days, Your Majesty has to prepare a carriage?" Wang Chengen replied.

"It's finally here, the carriage is to be ready, this time, I'm afraid of more than a thousand carriages, this matter, tell Liu Mao, say that the time will be transferred from him, this time, I will use a four-wheeled carriage to transport ......," Yang Reform said.

"Slave and maid obey the order" Wang Chengen agreed, and he was also relieved, this silver can be regarded as arriving in the capital, and it can be tossed long enough on the road, and it is not to blame Fang Hongzan for tossing, who has escorted tens of millions of taels of silver before? Be careful, pay attention, that's all right, if something really goes wrong, then no one can afford it.

"Has the place where the silver was put in Liulizhai been repaired?" Yang Reform asked again, this time, Yang Reform is ready to show off, with more than 1,000 four-wheeled carriages to transport silver is one of them, in addition to showing off their own silver, is to witness the effect of the carriage disaster relief in advance, the weight of 20 million taels of silver, if it is replaced with the weight of a human being, there will be more than 10,000 people, if it can transport 10,000 people at a time, the effect of this carriage disaster relief has nothing to say, Yang Reform this time, is to show his delivery ability, show his energy, for the future regardless of disaster relief, Sudden accidents, even wars, there are examples to follow, the second is that Liulizhai has built a place to put silver, when the time comes, where the silver is piled up, Yang Reform does not believe it, this white silver can not deter people, with this foundation, Yang Reform believes, the problem of paper tickets should not be big. …,

"Back to Your Majesty, it's been repaired." Wang Chengen replied.

"Oh, that's good," Yang reassured.

Soon arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Yang Reform asked again.

"By the way, what about the stove? Has the colt arrived? What about the people at the patent office? Yang Gengai remembered and asked, Yang Gengai wanted to see the stove before, but was interrupted.

"Your Majesty, the horses have arrived, and Li Baishu from the Patent Office has also arrived, but Your Majesty is busy with the war, so the slaves and maids don't dare to disturb the ......, and the stove is ......there," Wang Chengen replied.

"Oh, call them over." Yang Reform stopped at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, and said that Yang Reform intends to solve this matter well, this problem should be regarded as a benchmark problem, if it is not handled well, it may have a very bad impact on his own planning.

"Slaves obey," Wang Chengen agreed.

After a while, Wang Chengen led a few people over.

"Ministers and horses are all lieutenants Qi Zanyuan knock to see Your Majesty" A young man who looks like seventeen or eighteen years old took the lead in saluting, but he is quite tall, dignified, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a talent, and he is a little heroic, not a soft sissy.

"No courtesy." Yang Gengai took a look, this person really has a good skin, if you look at it from the heart, he is not a mean or vicious person, and there may be some discrepancies in beating people.

"Weichen Jinyi Wei Baihu Patent Office Secretary Li Yonggu knocked to see Your Majesty." Another petty officer also kowtowed.

"No courtesy." Yang Gengai said the same.

Both of them got up, very curious, the emperor was waiting for them outside this Qianqing Palace, it was really rare.

"You all know about the honeycomb coal, right? A lot of words" Yang Reform took the lead in asking, to be honest, the first impression of a person's opinion is often very important. A good impression, often in many times very advantageous, Yang Reform thought that this horse was not a good thing, what he did was to oppress the people, and what he destroyed was to improve the creativity and enthusiasm of the craftsmen, but he actually saw people, Yang Reform felt that things were not like this, so he changed his tone, and originally wanted to reprimand a few words, but he changed it gently.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's all the minister's fault, you shouldn't have beaten that coal worker, please punish Your Majesty" Qi Zanyuan was the first to admit it.

Yang Reform was a little surprised, but he admitted that he had to hurry up and be neat, thinking that this colt would come to say a few words about the little people or something.

"Well, you can talk about this carefully...... you two come with me...... Otomo, go see the coal stove. Yang Reform asked Qi Zanyuan to tell him about the beating, and asked them to come with him, and asked Wang Chengen to take him to see the coal stove.

"Yes, Your Majesty" Wang Chengen agreed first, and then led the way to see the coal stove.

Qi Zanyuan also began to talk about the matter between him and the coal worker.

Yang Gai listened to it, and probably heard it, the coal worker who was knocked down, originally sold briquettes, lived at the foot of this Tianzi, and heard it in his heart about the things he valued and treated craftsmen well, and he was also thinking about getting some new tricks, getting some new gadgets, and trying to get through his own road, and the honeycomb coal was made in his meditation and continuous exploration. It's a pity that the emperor is really not something that anyone can see when he wants to, and it is impossible for others to let him see the emperor with briquettes.

Later, others told him that it was impossible for the emperor to see him, nor could he see craftsmen every day, if there were strange things, he could go to the patent office to see first, I heard that the yamen was specially for the emperor to collect all kinds of "strange things", if the thing could, the patent office would give a "patent", if the emperor was free, maybe he would look at these novelties, if the emperor took a fancy to it, it would soar, so he went to the patent office to get a patent. …,

Later, his honeycomb coal is easy to burn, clean, cheap and other advantages gradually spread, more and more people use it, and this reputation has spread, so there is a horse Qi Zanyuan to buy the patent, as for the refusal to sell coal, according to the horse Qi Zanyuan, that person only wants to go through the emperor's door, and he is bent on flying Huang Tengda, and other people, that is really disdainful, saying that everything is in vain, even if he gets a thousand taels of silver, he still refuses to sell his patent.

After listening to it, Yang Gengai looked at the letter from the patent office, and his favorability towards this person has also risen a lot, and a coal worker who delivers coal can get a patent, which shows that his work is serious and responsible, and that he understands his own mind, and this kind of person should be given a certain reward.

looked at the horse Qi Zanyuan again, Qi Zanyuan vigorously admitted that he did it, only said that he was angry at the time, and he only planned to be angry, but the people were more serious, so he made this incident and was willing to take responsibility.

Yang Gai also almost understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Yang Reform listened to it, but also looked at the honeycomb coal and coal stove, the coal stove is cast in iron, and the shape of the coal stove in later generations is a little different, but look at the use effect, but it is no different, the middle is made of refractory materials, the middle round hole can be put honeycomb coal, there is a bridge below, and there is a door connected to the bridge, the appearance of this thing is basically the same as the honeycomb coal stove in later generations, but the outside of this furnace is cast with iron, Yang Reform looked at it for a while, and has come to some conclusions, honeycomb coal no longer needs to interfere with itself, The stove for burning honeycomb coal basically does not need to interfere with it, Yang Reform also saw the kind of honeycomb coal stove that uses mud to paste itself in the countryside in the early years, and I believe that with the wisdom of the Chinese people, this does not need to be operated by himself at all.

"Honeycomb coal is really good, much stronger than burning briquettes, much cleaner than burning wood, much cheaper than burning charcoal, flat-headed people's homes, if they can use this, it is convenient to say that it is cold, and it also saves the fire every morning, but it saves the people's expenses, although the thing is not valuable, but it is also something closely related to the people, good things" Yang Reform exclaimed, no need to ask about this honeycomb coal and coal stove, Yang Reform has basically understood the situation, and directly came to the conclusion that honeycomb coal replaces briquettes, Instead of firewood, this is a historical trend, just know this.

"Your Majesty is right." The two of them hurriedly agreed.

"Horse, this matter is indeed your fault, no matter what, you shouldn't do it, how are you going to deal with this matter?" Yang Reform has seen the honeycomb coal and coal stove, and must have passed these things, and he plans to end this matter, since the attitude of the parties is good, Yang Reform does not plan to make a big move, this big water rushing to the Dragon King Temple, it is not interesting to favor that side.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is willing to pay more for the cost of the soup and medicine, and will not mention the matter of collecting his patent in the future, and the minister is also willing to bear the punishment, please punish Your Majesty." Qi Zanyuan said with some shame.

"This matter, it is appropriate to pay some soup and medicine costs, however, the trade of honeycomb coal can not be given up, the deal is still good, although the profit is small, but it is better than the quantity, and the accumulation is not a small number, his patent matter, if you can't buy it, I think that you might as well let him take the patent as a shareholder, set up a firm, and specialize in this business, so that he can avoid his worries, although this thousand taels is a lot, but after all, it is dead money, and it won't take long to use it, it is estimated that he also has this consideration, If you can go through the water, I believe that person will be willing. Yang Gengai saw that this Qi Zanyuan did not seem to be a vicious and unforgiving master, but he arranged for him to partner with the coal worker to do business, which can be regarded as a combination of patents, technology, capital, and power, which is still good for promoting industrialization, and for further stimulating people's enthusiasm for creation, it is good for simply punishing Qi Zanyuan, which is not interesting. …,

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister originally had this plan, but the minister probed that person's tone, that person's meaning, I'm afraid, it's not Your Majesty'......" Qi Zanyuan hurriedly defended, just now, he told all the situation, that person, obviously, is bent on taking the emperor's door, and he is disdainful of him, a colt, otherwise, there will be no such thing as beating people.

"Hehe, this is easy to say, doesn't he just want to get involved with me, in this way, the colt will set up a business, and I will also buy some shares, so that it can be regarded as fulfilling his thoughts, how about it?" Yang Reform said with a smile that Yang Reform still has a sense of accomplishment for someone who is his "die-hard fan".

"Your Majesty, this is ......" Qi Zanyuan was a little surprised, the emperor's attitude towards these ordinary people is really good, I really can't say.

"That's it, I don't see that the horse is not a wicked person, go back and give that person more soup and medicine fees, and then talk to him well, just say that in this business, there is a share, if he is willing to invest in the patent shares, this business can be opened, in the future, the horse will be responsible for the operation, expand the scale of the business, that person will be responsible for the research of better honeycomb coal, research on better furnaces......" Yang Reform set the tone at once, patents, technology, capital and power must be blended together.

"Your Majesty, this ......, the minister's decree" Qi Zanyuan is not an arrogant person, seeing that the emperor said so earnestly, he originally had some scruples and thoughts, but he still suppressed it and agreed with what the emperor said.

"Remember to pay your taxes in full," Yang added with a smile.

"The Minister's Decree" Qi Zanyuan agreed with a little blushing.

"Your name is Li Yonggu?" After Yang Reform finished speaking, he turned his head and said to the other petty official.

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is exactly." The junior officer who answered said very seriously.

"I remember, Xu Bengao is in charge of the patent office." Yang Gai said.

"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Xu went to the south on an errand, but he hasn't returned yet, and the patent office will be taken care of by Weichen for the time being." Li Yonggu replied seriously and seriously.

"Well, that's good." Yang Gengai nodded, Xu Bengao did go to the south, and he went early, moving the salt merchant was his first battle, speaking of which, he also had great merit in running a salt merchant. In other words, this patent office has always been managed by this petty official.

“…… You did a good job in this matter, you didn't dislike or dislike people because of the identity of the patent applicant, you can do this, it's really good, you are very loyal to your duties, you understand my mind thoroughly, I just like this kind of person. Yang Gengai praised.

"Back to Your Majesty, this is Weichen's duty, and it is what Weichen should do." Li Yonggu replied seriously, his face began to turn a little red, since the emperor is satisfied, it is good.

"This time, the business that I and the colt are going to do, and we are eating patented food, do you know how to do it?" Yang Reform said again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister knows." Li Yonggu calmly agreed, what does the patent office do, that is, to use patents to hit others, to put it bluntly, it is to do a unique business, to put it more bluntly, that is, the emperor wants to do a unique business, whoever dares to grab food in the emperor's mouth, their patent office will find trouble with whom, this brocade guard is not a white criticism.

"Well, that's good,...... Li Qing's family is serious and loyal to their duties, and now they are in Jinyi and Wei Qianhu, and they still run errand......s in the patent office, "Yang Reform is not stingy with promotions to others, the officials of this patent office are indeed a little smaller, there was originally a Xu Bengao can town scene, but unfortunately he is away all the year round, and he has to mention this at home, this person is still good, and he is very good at his own heart,

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Li Yonggu said excitedly.

"Get up, you have to work hard in the future, understand?" Yang Gengai said with a smile.

"Obey the order" Li Yonggu was very excited, sure enough, the emperor will be promoted as soon as he likes it, and these days have not been in vain.

Qi Zanyuan also congratulated a few words.

As she was talking, Queen Zhou Wan'er came over, with a smile on her face, this place is not far from Kunning Palace, and Yang Gai saw it from afar.

After the salute, Yang Gai asked curiously, "How did Wan'er come out?" ”

Seeing Zhou Wan'er coming with a smile, Yang Reform knew that something was wrong, and sure enough, after Zhou Wan'er finished the salute, she smiled and said a few words next to Yang Reform's ear.

When Yang Gai heard this, he understood what was going on. Looking at the horse Qi Zanyuan again, this is interesting, it turns out that the beating is not done by Qi Zanyuan himself, this thing, speaking of which, is still his sister, Princess Suiping did it, Princess Suiping heard that the patent could not be collected, but she was angry, and asked a few people to beat the coal worker, Qi Zanyuan had to take this matter down, and it was still responsible, Yang Reform looked at this person and looked at ......,
