There were no outsiders in the carriage, and thinking that Ye Xinyan could recommend a money-making business to the emperor, Jiang Yifan still felt puzzled.

He asked, "Ah Yan, since the coal business is very profitable and has great prospects. With your character, why are you willing to hand it over to the emperor? "But as in the past, I had to divide a few percent.

Ye Xinyan shook his head and said: "At present, all the coal diggers are small coal kilns, and it doesn't matter if you dig in a small area, it doesn't hurt." But if it is a large amount of mining, that business is really too big, not only to make too much money, but also related to the future energy lifeline. If we participate in earning this money and gather too much money, we are afraid that we will be suspicious of the royal family in the future, and we will not cause trouble for ourselves. ”

Ye Xinyan fooled the emperor's analysis in the mechanical workshop, Jiang Yifan understood, but he never expected that coal was so important, and Ye Xinyan actually used the word "lifeline".

"Since it is so important, and the profits are huge, it is good to let the imperial court mine it, why should you encourage the emperor to do this business himself?"

Listening to Ah Yan's meaning at the time, he suggested that the emperor leave the coal mine to one or several sons of the emperor, and still not return to the imperial court. Two or three generations later, the royal blood of the coal mine owners gradually faded, and the coal mine was equivalent to belonging to private individuals.

"I'm not looking for something to do for the emperor, he is always hanging in the workshop." Ye Xinyan ridiculed the truth, paused, and then straightened his expression.

Jiang Yifan's attitude towards this matter made her a little speechless, although the historical process is thousands of years apart, but the way of thinking about the ownership of coal mines, the attitude of the superiors is still so unified. In later generations, coal mines were not controlled by the state for a long time, and then there was a new type of energy, plus many factors, and the coal mines were owned by enterprises.

"There's no way around it," she patiently explains, "as the amount of coal is mined, the pits and shafts will expand and go deeper into the ground." In this kind of terrain, accidents such as collapse, flooding, and even explosions can occur at every turn, and miners will be a very dangerous industry. If it is mined by an individual or a big family, the imperial court can still supervise one or two, if it is mined by the imperial court, it will ......" Ye Xinyan shook his head and did not continue.

Since ancient times, the words promotion and wealth have been linked. In such a feudal centralized place and poor information circulation, if there is a lack of supervision, I am afraid that the coal mine will be a Shura field.

Although Ye Xinyan didn't continue to speak, Jiang Yifan had already made up for it. For a moment, all sorts of words piled up in his mind: a million profits, huge assets, massive development, underground excavations, then collapses, flooding, explosions, and miners deep underground.

He could almost imagine what it would look like.

"In that case, why do you want to mine on a large scale?" Jiang Yifan frowned. It would be nice to mine less, and to be able to supply steam engines.

Ye Xinyan also smiled wryly: "In the era I experienced before, when we went to school, we learned a lot of miscellaneous things. Among them is a discipline, in which there is a sentence: every pore of the primitive accumulation of capital, there is filthy blood. ”

Ye Xinyan looked at Jiang Yifan, who was stunned by this sentence, and continued: "This is the inevitability of the historical process, if we don't do it, someone else will take the lead, so as to grasp the absolute initiative and strength." Therefore, we can only do our best to do things better, which is the same as expanding the territory and defending the country. At least the casualties of mining are much less than fighting on the battlefield. ”

Jiang Yifan thought of the battlefield of the battle, and thought of the grief when natural and man-made disasters were all over the field, nodded and agreed: "It's okay this way, instead of letting coal mining fall into the hands of others in the future, it's better to start mining now." At least Ah Yan knows the harm and danger, we can use the coercion of the imperial court to make the people who open the mine not too despise human life, and form a system of safety management. ”

As he spoke, he shook Ye Xinyan's hand to show comfort. Ye Xinyan also shook the past, but her heart was not as shocked and struggling as Jiang Yifan.

In fact, not only is the primitive accumulation of capital bloody, but the entire process of human history itself is bloody. It's just that many people are trying their best to reduce the occurrence of all kinds of blood.

Jiang Yifan thought that the emperor might be able to earn a lot of silver, and he was a little worried about the emperor. The silver earned always has to be spent to realize its value, so the silver earned from the coal mine needs to be used.

He said: "It's good for the emperor to earn this silver, when the time comes, let's ask the emperor to let the emperor take some money out to run a school, and teach it according to the subjects you learn there......"

…………

Time passes like flowing water.

Five years later, in the spring, the warm breeze was warm, and the grass grew and the warbler flew. In a large garden in the capital, the grass and trees are sparse, the buildings are exquisite, and the corridors are meandering.

In front of the low window of the two-story pavilion, there are two old men, sitting next to each other, each leaning on a rattan chair covered with smooth fur, basking in the warm sun, so uncomfortable.

An old man tapped his fingers, and for a moment he tapped the armrest of the rattan chair, complaining: "It's not me who said you, you should also talk about your granddaughter and grandson-in-law, it's not like that." I finally made a few silvers, is it easy for me? But the good medicine is remembered by them all day long, which is really disturbing. ”

Although he has opened a coal mine in the past few years and made a lot of money, he has also passed the initial excitement. However, the silver was still earned by himself, and not by plundering the people's fat and ointment...... No, that's not what I said, it should be said that he earned it by his ability, not by any kind of tax collection.

Is it wrong that he is reluctant to give out such righteous silver?

Another old man with a white beard is An Guogong.

When An Guogong heard the emperor's words, he couldn't help but sneer: "Your Majesty, what you said is really not kind. The one that gave you the table is your Book of Rites. Although the excerpt is a private fold for yourself, it is also a courtier's sincere heart to the emperor and the court, and it is for His Majesty's country, and he is selfless. This has nothing to do with grandchildren. ”

An Guogong said this without being vain. Jiang Yifan made an excerpt and let him know about the emperor's money to run a school. As early as when the emperor sent people to explore the coal mines, Jiang Yifan was already planning the teaching subjects and teaching teachers of the new college, and formulating the teaching materials.

The official schools run by the imperial court, as well as the private schools and academies opened in various places, all studied classics and classics. If you want children to increase their knowledge and learn some other subjects such as astronomy, geography and mathematics, natural biology, etc., then you have to run a separate school.

Looking at the world, the easiest person to make money is probably His Majesty the Emperor.

Today, Jinju mines coal and sends a steady stream of coal to various states and counties of the Great Xia Dynasty, which is the emperor's own manpower. The money earned was not even charged to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was all in the hands of the emperor himself.

Although no one dared to check the emperor's account, according to his granddaughter, the silver from mining coal was really easy to make, and there was no need for additional processing, it was dug up, loaded and transported, bought at any time, and used at any time, which was a good deal that had never been seen in history. In Xinyan's words, the ease and speed of making money is comparable to that of a money grab.

For An Guogong, who was born as a military general, of course, he prefers the students to learn more practical things, not like many officials in the court, who are not diligent and do not divide the grains, except for the hanging book bag, there is no strength.

The emperor heard the meaning of An Guogong's words, sat up straight on the rattan chair, and said unhappily: "Ye Tang! Do you see that I don't manage government affairs now, so I have disrespect, so I will resist me like this! ”

An Guogong sat up, arched his hand to the emperor, and made an extremely perfunctory accusation: "Your Majesty has misunderstood Weichen, Weichen has always admired Your Majesty, and it will not change at any time." ”

This special mother, don't even give an example, it's too perfunctory, right? The Emperor snorted coldly and half-reclined on the wicker chair again.

He looked down on An Guogong's perfunctory behavior. However, now that he is out of politics, isn't he just trying to be at ease? If everyone is frightened and frightened of him, then his leisurely comfort will be greatly reduced.

Forget it, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, of course, what he wants is to be leisurely. If he wants to be feared from above, he can sit in the palace and be admired by the world.

"Now the imperial court is rich and powerful, and all industries in the world are prosperous. King Yu is also diligent and clear-sighted. Ye Aiqing, you say, can I abdicate? ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" An Guogong didn't expect that he could actually hear the emperor say such words, and he was really choked by his own saliva.

He really didn't understand what the emperor meant. Isn't the position of emperor tenured? If you are good, you will say abdication, what does this mean?

Ahem...... An Guogong thought to himself, it doesn't seem to be a good one. Ever since the emperor invested his private money in the coal mine and made money, the emperor has had an incomparable enthusiasm for making money, which is much more than the enthusiasm for handling government affairs.
