Ye Xin's face froze, your old man still wants to come to us for the New Year?

Worshipping this great god all day long, she felt that she was working so hard, and she couldn't hide from it. She regretted it a little, she should have agreed to Jiang Yifan to invite a doctor, maybe the doctor had good luck and could really diagnose pregnancy.

At this time, there were not only people from the mechanical workshop such as the emperor and Wang Qiao in the reception room of the mechanical workshop, but also Jinrong and Jiang Yifan. Jinrong came to welcome His Majesty the Emperor back to the palace and arrange the vacation of the imperial court and the yamen of various ministries.

Jiang Yifan was in charge of the completion department, and came to pick up his daughter-in-law home one step earlier.

Seeing Ye Xinyan's shocked and surprised look, the two couldn't help but feel funny. Even Zhang Cunhai, who has always been unsmiling, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Your Majesty, that, this, the courtier has a few words." Ye Xinyan said.

The Emperor raised an eyebrow and looked at her. Usually when this Nizi speaks in this tone, it means that she has some crooked idea in her heart.

Ye Xinyan was looked down upon by the emperor, but in order to invite this great god away, she still stubbornly continued: "What, the courtiers recommend a big business to you, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"Is there such a thing?" The emperor was extremely surprised, "You have a big business that you don't do yourself, and you will introduce it to me?" The suspicion in his tone made Ye Xinyan feel heartbroken.

Not only the emperor was surprised, but everyone else present also felt incredible.

The business proposed by Ye Xinyan is all for himself, the kind of white wolf with empty gloves. At this time, he was talking about recommending a big business to the emperor, but he didn't say that he wanted to share it.

Very abnormal rush.

Ye Xinyan looked at the suspicious gazes, very embarrassed. What's wrong? Can't she recommend a profitable business to others?

Especially if this person is the emperor again, she just wants to exploit it, and she doesn't have the guts.

"Your Majesty, you must believe in the courtiers, it's really a big deal." Ye Xinyan said very sincerely.

Jiang Yifan's heart lifted, this is a precursor to fooling people. Daughter-in-law, you are really bold, no one dares to fool.

The Emperor nodded noncommittally, "You say." ”

"That's right." Ye Xinyan cheered up and tried his best to fool the emperor away, and return a clear and free sky in their mechanical workshop.

Jinrong and the others also straightened their expressions and listened attentively.

"The courtiers felt that mining coal was a big business to make money. Your Majesty, you have sent someone to apply for a mine, or even to the imperial court, to build a special line for transporting coal, and send it to all parts of the country for sale. If you develop a few stoves and appliances that use coal, you will definitely make a lot of money."

"What kind of big deal is this?" The emperor was puzzled, "Coal is just a thing that can burn fire, I have asked people who know coal, the soot of raw coal is very large, and the coke after refining is not easy to ignite." Coal is far less useful than firewood and charcoal. I warn you, don't let me make a loss-making deal in order to get me away. ”

"No, how could that be?" Ye Xinyan's heart was weak, "Your Majesty, coal is not just a thing that can burn fire, it is a kind of material, in a sense, its role is even greater than that of iron ore. ”

"Will it?" More than iron ore?

The emperor was not alone in raising questions.

"Of course, Your Majesty, although the soot of coal is large, the heat emitted by the same amount of coal is many times greater than that of firewood. The reason why coal is not widely accepted is because there is no large-scale mining yet, and there are ......"

Before the advent of oil, the role of coal was enormous. Even after the advent of oil, coal still has an irreplaceable position in industry and civil use.

Ye Xinyan analyzed the great significance of coal for industrial society and civil use, and completely brainwashed the emperor.

The Emperor was suspicious and said, "According to you, there are many places where coal can be used. Where is there such a large supply of coal? ”

Ye Xinyan continued to agitate, but did not divulge her own bottom, "The courtiers think that these things are the same as copper ore and iron ore, which are inexhaustible and inexhaustible (she herself is embarrassed when she flickers). Do you think that from ancient times to thousands of years, all dynasties and generations have collected iron ore, but today's minerals are still abundant? Where can it be mined? ”

The emperor seemed to approve of Ye Xinyan's explanation, but he still frowned and remained silent, looking at Ye Xinyan anxiously.

Jinrong interjected: "The place where the coal mine was discovered before is now a variety of large and small merchants who have registered with the yamen and applied to mine coal. What is the identity of Your Majesty? How can we compete with the people for profit? "This is a nice saying, a bad one, that is: the emperor is such a big man, and it is really embarrassing to go to fight with so many small people to pick up stones.

Ye Xinyan had an expression of hatred that iron could not become steel, "Our Majesty is such a big person, how can he make a fuss like them?" Naturally, we don't fight with him, how many iron mines are in the world, and coal mines should be like that. Let's find another one. ”

Oh...... This time, everyone understood.

"Prospecting?" Jin Rong said. The imperial court has a special agency to find mineral veins, but it is not very efficient.

Ye Xinyan showed a god-like expression: "Maybe this thing also pays attention to ore veins, we can follow the original coal mine all the way to the west, Jinzhou has a vast area, maybe there is a coal mine." His Majesty sent people to explore the surrounding areas of Jinju, and it is very likely that they will find a new coal mine. ”

In modern Shanxi, it was the earliest large coal mine. According to the division of this place, it should be the Jinju area.

Ye Xinyan continued to agitate: "We can't be like small businessmen and small households, we must first see what the coal mine is like, we can develop some professional equipment, lay special tracks for coal mines, and set up elevators at the same time, we can also ...... In short, we must have the great atmosphere of the Celestial Empire. ”

The emperor was fooled by Ye Xinyan and succeeded, and he was full of ambition when he left the mechanical workshop.

When Jiang Yifan took Ye Xinyan home, the couple sat in the carriage, and he sighed very much at the era when Ye Xinyan grew up, how he taught his students, he was bold, careful, and well-informed. I want to talk about "Women's Beauty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
