"History of the Ming Dynasty" records: on the sixth day of the first month of the tenth year of orthodoxy, under the initiative of Meng Yan, one hundred households in Jinyiwei, 21 coal banks in Beijing signed an alliance and established the Beijing Coal Merchants Association......

A coal institute was established to study coal mining, use and other related technologies.

An energy revolution was quietly promoted, which was not expected by Meng Yan, the initiator.

The wheel of history may be stuck at some point, but as long as you remove the stone of the card, the wheel will continue to turn and roll forward!

The development of history is also inevitable, but sometimes, there is also his accident, when later generations look back.

There are always a lot of feelings, if it was then, what will happen now!

In fact, Meng Yan didn't think about it so much, and he didn't say what historical responsibility he had to shoulder.

This qiē is based on his own interests, and he needs to use his interests to build an interest group, which can be regarded as a kind of precaution.

Wen Xiaoyu's exemplary effect, coupled with the strategy formulated by Meng Yan, personally trained Jiang Feng for several days, and the effect achieved was naturally predictable.

"Son, someone has come to the palace, it's Father-in-law Jia of the Salary Saving Division!"

"Salary-saving Division, we have nothing to do with Salary-Saving Division?" Meng Yan was a little surprised.

"I don't know, do you want to ......"

"No, go and bring people here!" Meng Yan shook his hand, when it comes to the eunuchs in the palace, they must be cautious.

Not to mention such a yamen as the Salary Division. That's pretty important.

The charcoal used in the palace is all charcoal, and it is also a kind of charcoal made of hardwood, which is durable to burn, the fire is strong, and there is no smoke, and it is packed in a red basket, so it is also called: red basket charcoal.

This kind of charcoal is definitely not used by ordinary people, and they can't afford it, and the royal family has a special charcoal factory. There are also specialized agencies responsible for the management and transport and distribution of this charcoal.

The concubines, eunuchs and maids in the palace used this charcoal for heating. The annual consumption figures are staggering.

Meng Yan made a rough calculation that the annual consumption of charcoal in the palace was nearly 20 million catties, which was converted into silver taels, almost 100,000 silver!

What a huge amount of money!

But if they are all replaced with honeycomb coal. The annual funds used to purchase charcoal can be reduced by two percent.

"Hello Lord Meng!"

"Father-in-law Jia is a rare guest. Fast. Take a seat, Tianxing, make tea for Grandpa Jia! Meng Yan hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord Meng. You're welcome, I've come by divine will! ”

"Father-in-law, you say, listen to the minister!"

"There is a decree of the saint, the honeycomb coal produced by Meng's Coal Company is specially for the royal family, 100,000 catties per month!" Father-in-law Jia opened his throat and said.

"Thank you, Holy Lord!" Meng Yan knelt down excitedly.

"Congratulations, Master Meng, in the future, your coal shop will be the imperial supplies of the inner court!" Jia Gong is fair.

"My father-in-law is polite, and I would like to thank my father-in-law for taking care of me in the future!" Meng Yan stretched out his hand and took it out of his arms, and five silver tickets of one hundred taels were quietly stuffed into the sleeves of Father-in-law Jia.

Father-in-law Najia smiled slightly, with a tacit expression.

"Master Meng, this is the Holy Lord's opinion, hand-picked, you have to do this well, you must ensure good quality!"

"Definitely, definitely!" Meng Yan nodded hurriedly, "Father-in-law, how about staying and drinking a glass of water and wine?" ”

"No, our family has to go back to restore our lives, Master Meng remembers to send the honeycomb coal to the Salary Division before the fifth day of the Lunar New Year every month!"

"The lower official understands, send it to the father-in-law!"

"Tianxing, go next door and tell Jiang Feng and Xiaoyu the news!" Meng Yan instructed Lin Tianxingdao.

The emperor actually sent someone at this time to list the honeycomb coal produced by Meng's Coal Store as a tribute, which is equivalent to giving him a coat of "imperial businessman", which is to give himself a platform.

With this coat, those "agents" next door should know what this means!

Although Meng Yan couldn't hear what the person next door was saying, he still heard the exclamation that followed.

Looks like it's going to disappoint some people again!

"Let's go, Tianxing, let's go back!" Meng Yan got up and said, the overall situation has been decided, and there is no need for him to sit here.

If he has to do everything himself, then what do he need his subordinates to do?

"Son, the conference is not over yet?"

"The overall situation has been decided, Jiang Feng and the others will take care of the rest by themselves, I don't have to stay!" Meng Yan smiled.

"Yes, Childe!"

got into the carriage parked at the back door of Songhe Tower, and Lin Tianxing sat in the driver's seat: "Son, where are we going?" ”

"Nanya!" Meng Yan Road.

"Yes!" Lin Tianxing flicked his horsewhip, the carriage turned around, drove out of the alley, and entered the street with a rolling flow of people.

"Is the meeting over?"

"Not yet, it's on, there's nothing left and right, I'll withdraw first!" Meng Yan muttered in his mouth.

"Something?" Guo Nu raised his head and asked.

"Yes."

"If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go, I don't see that I'm busy, how many official documents are issued on this day, I can't wait to sleep for twelve hours a day!"

"Uncle, don't work so hard, just find someone to help." Meng Yan reminded.

"You think I don't want to, but those guys outside the door just write and copy, how much can they help?" Guo Nu sighed.

"Shall I lend you someone?"

"You, still lend it to me?" Guo Nu looked up in surprise.

"Don't worry, Lao Cai, I must be reluctant, it's another, it's called Li Chun, that hand-written regular script, the one written is called a beautiful one, and the person is also clever, how many days will it be for you?" Meng Yan Road.

"You kid don't want to put eyeliner next to me, do you?" Guo Nu glared and asked with a cold snort.

"It's all said, it's borrowing, not giving, if it weren't for your hard work, I wouldn't want to lend it to you, and I don't have a shortage of people!" Meng Yan Road.

"Really lend it to me?" Guo angrily tilted his head and asked.

"Of course. But uncle, let's say okay, there has to be a term, and I can't lend it to you indefinitely! ”

"Okay, I'll pay his salary during the secondment period, how about three months?" Guo Nu nodded, he really needed someone to help him deal with these complicated affairs.

"Uncle, twenty taels a month!"

"What, you kid is overwhelmed and given so much salary?" Guo Nu was shocked.

"That's it. It's worth the money! Meng Yan said.

"Stone. The question of this salary ......"

"Don't mind, you can't send this little money to a Jinyi guard commander, this is a bit shabby, isn't it?"

"Stinky boy, kick your nose and get it in your face. Someone sent it to me right away. I can afford to look up to you! Guo Nu snorted coldly.

"Okay. I'll send them right away, but shouldn't you give me back my people? Meng Yan said with a smile.

"Who, why doesn't this official remember who owes you?" Guo Nu rolled his eyes. Asked pretending to be puzzled.

Meng Yan scolded in his heart, is this old rascal still on it?

"Uncle ......"

"What's it called?"

"Lord Guo!" Meng Yan changed his words, "Do you really forget, or do you deliberately pretend not to remember?" ”

"I don't have any of you here, I want someone to find another place!" Guo Nu was angry, so he waved his hand directly to drive people away.

"Lord Guo, haven't you heard some rumors?" Meng Yan asked.

"I didn't hear anything!" Guo Nu pretended to be deaf and dumb.

"Recently, there was a rumor in the capital that an old man fell in love with a girl from the future prospective son-in-law's family, okay, he forcibly took the person away, and the future son-in-law had no choice but to swallow his anger and dare not come to the door to ask for ......."

"Which bastard said that?" When Guo Nu heard this, he was furious.

"The people below didn't dare to sue you, it's all spread outside!"

"Is it a good thing for you to do?"

"Lord Guo, don't wronged a good person, this matter really has nothing to do with me, what do I do, this kind of bottomless thing will not be done, but there are more than one or two people who know about it......"

"What a bastard!"

Guo Nu understood that someone used this incident to drive a wedge between him and Meng Yan, and there was an ulterior motive behind it.

Whoever it is, you can guess three points.

"Uncle, people originally wanted to send people to me, but you have to stop them, this is not upset, isn't it?" Meng Yan Road.

Guo Nu lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment, then looked up at Meng Yan, I'm afraid it's really like this.

Of course, Mei Ji was asked for by Meng Yan and the Tatar Tribute Mission, but he didn't know about Mei Ji's existence before!

The news came out of the mouth of the Lost Lady.

It was clear that the Tatars wanted to send this charm to Meng Yan's side, but what was the purpose of the Tatars in doing so?

Magim was the one who came before before, but now it's unknowable.

Since ancient times, he is easy to think about where to go, he has seen this charm, and he is really beautiful, and men can't resist it.

If Mao Sila promised Mei Ji to someone first, and then gave her to Meng Yan, it would be said that Meng Yan coveted Mei Ji's beauty and snatched her!

provoke the confrontation between Meng Yan and a strong figure in the DPRK!

This is completely reasonable, and it is also a logical thing, the Tatars can't kill Meng Yan, and the strategy of killing people with a borrowed knife is completely feasible.

However, he didn't think about it, what if the Tatars didn't think about borrowing a knife to kill people at all, but just wanted to send Mei Ji to Meng Yan's side?

In this way, there must be something special about this woman named Meiji.

In other words, she has some kind of special task on her shoulder, and this task must be related to Meng Yan.

What are the Tatars plotting?

"Stone, you tell your uncle clearly, do you have any secrets to hide from me?" Guo Nu asked seriously.

"What secrets can I have, except for some of the items I carried when I came back, didn't the other uncles know?" Meng Yan smiled and said, "Uncle, do you also suspect that I was rebelled against by the Tatars, and this charm was sent to act as the upline between me and the Tatars?" ”

"It's not impossible!"

"Mei Ji is the first person, she shouldn't betray Ye Xian, before she officially tears her face, she won't kill the person who is also the first, otherwise there will be an excuse to do it first, he put Mei Ji into the tribute mission, the purpose is just to humiliate Ye Xian, Mei Ji is nominally his woman, but I have slept with this Ming detail, so he completely used this reason to divorce this woman, and then use her as a tool to make friends with Ming officials, and even sell it, of course, he can also kill Mei Ji, but it's not worth it!"

"Tokhtobuhua is not as smart as you, can he think of so much?"

"It's true that Totoku Buhua is not very smart, but his subordinates are not all stupid, Mei Ji is a chess piece, staying with Totoku Buhua is actually the same as sending it to Daming!" Meng Yan analyzed. (To be continued......)
