In winter, there was a heavy snowfall in Lantian, and the land was so white.

But before Li Chaosheng could enjoy the snow scene, the hard-working Lantian people had already gone out to clean up the snow that had fallen in the city, and each household also began to light the newly purchased stoves and burn the new honeycomb coal bought from the coal shops in the city.

Honeycomb coal, a new product made at the Lantian No. 1 Coal Yard, is said to burn well and reduce the risk of poisoning compared to the large coal burned in the past.

Seeing the smoke rising from thousands of households, Li Chaosheng still has a sense of accomplishment in his heart, you must know that in the past, the people of the entire Lantian could only rely on hard work in winter, before Li Chaosheng took over Lantian, he often heard that some people froze to death in winter, so for the old Lantian people, wintering is to pass the customs and pass the ghost gate.

Although after Li Chaosheng took over Lantian, there was no more freezing death in Lantian, but the life of the people in Lantian was still not very good, and they also relied on hard resistance in winter.

As a result, Li Chaosheng brought the issue of the people's winter to the surface, and took the lead in proposing at the Lantian government meeting that the problem of keeping the people warm in Lantian in winter should be treated as an important livelihood project.

As a result, the Lantian No. 1 Winter Warmth Plan was born, which mainly includes three aspects, the first government should take the initiative to fund for the people, especially the five guarantee households, the widowed elderly, or those with difficult family life, to repair the houses, and not let these people's houses leak rain in summer and wind in winter.

The mayors of villages and towns should take the initiative to understand the situation of the people, care about the living conditions of the people, and actively report that the repair cost will be directly allocated by the Lantian County Ya.

By the way, the main source of this money to improve people's livelihood is the military operation, Li Dingguo seized a large amount of materials, and the funds after the sale of horses, Li Chaosheng allocated this money to the entire Lantian County poor families to rebuild their houses.

At that time, the military had very objections to the use of this money, and they believed that this money should be handed over to the military to expand the use of armaments, after all, this money was earned back by their military to Lantian, and the military should have the right of first use of this money.

And the Lantian Political Department feels that since the money has been entered into the public account, it should obey the overall plan of the Political Department, and the military's establishment has been meritorious, but Lantian has not treated the military badly, and the rewards that should be given have been rewarded, and since the rewards have been rewarded, the military should not be obstructing the use of this money.

The military was also very dissatisfied with this, thinking that the people in the Political Department were unloading the mill and killing the donkey, employing people to face forward, not to face backwards, at that time the two sides fought, and each other was not convinced by each other, and in the end, this matter stabbed Li Chaosheng here, and finally Li Chaosheng directly clapped the board and said: "Don't earn this money, we Lantian soldiers, public servants, earn money not to satisfy our own selfish desires, in order to benefit the vast number of Lantian people, so this money is neither given to the military, nor to politics is not used to expand infrastructure, This money is used to improve people's livelihoods! ”

Li Chaosheng is in Lantian that is a good word, and there is no room for bargaining between the military and the political department when he makes a decision, so he can only obediently send the money to Li Chaosheng's hands.

Li Chaosheng was also polite, and after getting the money, he immediately allocated the money to the winter warmth fund.

Now the people of Daming are trying to survive, and Li Chaosheng wants to let the people of Lantian under his command live well, so good that other people in Daming envy and desire, so that Lantian can maintain a high attractiveness, and truly do it, solidify the country without the danger of mountains and streams, and the world without the benefit of military revolution.

Only by letting the people under your command live well can you gain the real support of the people, and as long as the people sincerely support you, no one can shake your power. This is the road of Li Chaosheng's Lantian development.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng thinks about the welfare of the people when he has money, unlike some people who seek welfare for themselves when they have money, so that they can live a life of drunkenness.

Just like an entrepreneur surnamed Wang said, if you make money as an entrepreneur, don't think about going out every day to donate money to make a name for yourself, you have this money to send to employees, and make employee benefits high, and employees will do it for you steadily, otherwise you are not a good entrepreneur even if you donate more money.

This is not rough, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, and the people under your command are living a hot life, if Li Chaosheng is brainless to do some supernumerary assistance, it will be simply mediocre, and he will be poked and scolded by the people of Lantian.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng began to gradually improve people's livelihood when the external pressure decreased.

Therefore, there are three major plans for keeping warm in winter, now Lantian food is not to worry, enough to eat, in the case of ensuring the safety of rations, the next step in Lantian is to start to improve the lives of the people in Lantian from several aspects of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and the winter warmth plan is one aspect of living.

The supplement to the winter heating plan is divided into several parts, one of which is the five-guarantee households that Li Chaosheng is most concerned about, and the problem of repairing the houses of difficult households.

In addition to the most basic five-guarantee household plan, Lantian also has two important measures, the first is the expansion of the civilian part of the Lantian coal yard.

Lantian Coal Yard is a supporting department developed by Li Chaosheng in order to support Lantian Iron and Steel Plant, the main role is to mine coal mines, Shaanxi and Shanxi get along very closely, there is a gift from God, that is, coal, a large amount of coal.

Shanxi is a major coal-producing province, and there are also some coal mines next to Shaanxi, and coal is an important industrial material, and they are indispensable for steelmaking and ironmaking.

You must know that the iron-making blast furnace in Lantian is not wood, but a large amount of high-quality coal, and only after the coal is fully burned can it reach the high temperature required for blast furnace ironmaking.

Therefore, Lantian coal yard has always been a subsidiary industry of Lantian iron and steel industry, has not achieved the role of independent profit, and the use rate of coal in the private sector is not high, the reason is very simple, coal combustion will produce toxic gas carbon monoxide, carbon monoxide poisoning, in this scientifically underdeveloped world, enough daunting, so the people are willing to freeze, rather than dare to burn coal.

In this regard, after Li Chaosheng learned the truth of the matter, he decided to change the status quo, coal must be burned, otherwise how to solve the heating problem of the people in Lantian.

Therefore, Li Chaosheng formulated the most important two steps of the winter heating plan, one is the coal yard reconstruction plan, and the other is to make an earthen stove, that is, the most popular kind of coal-burning stove in the eighties and nineties, the stove presses a thick iron pipe, just like a big chimney, which can send the exhaust gas after combustion out of the outside, so that carbon monoxide poisoning can be saved.

This is the second step of the Lantian winter heating plan, the establishment of the Lantian iron furnace factory, specializing in the production of qualified iron stoves, to solve the problem of Lantian people's heating difficulties.

There is no problem at all with the development of the iron furnace factory, after all, the Lantian artillery is easily built, and how many iron furnaces can be made?

Therefore, the iron furnace factory was soon opened, after the iron furnace factory opened, Li Chaosheng went to the coal yard to inspect, and found a very serious problem, that is, the waste problem of the coal yard, in the coal yard, a large amount of coal foam will be poured out every day, and a huge coal foam pit is piled up in the backyard of the coal yard, which is full of steel mills without coal face and cinder.

The management of the coal yard is also very helpless, when Li Chaosheng asked how to deal with these coal faces, he actually gave a ridiculous answer, buried, buried, what kind of plan is this?

Li Chaosheng is very dissatisfied with this, isn't this just a waste? You must know that any resource is a valuable asset in the future, and no waste is allowed, but these coal faces really cannot meet the requirements of the current steel mill for coal.

But thinking about it, a perfect plan was thought out by Li Chaosheng, that is, honeycomb coal.

Honeycomb coal is a kind of processed coal product, which has the characteristics of full combustion to save raw materials, and more importantly, if the honeycomb coal is processed, then the safety of living and heating with the stove is also better guaranteed, after all, the shape of the honeycomb coal is the same, and the furnace is made to be suitable for burning honeycomb coal, so that the tightness of the furnace is also guaranteed, and it is safer.

So after some sorting, Lantian Coal Yard set up a subordinate enterprise, Lantian Honeycomb Coal Manufacturing Plant, specializing in the manufacture of honeycomb coal.

The manufacturing method of honeycomb coal is very simple, that is, it is made of coal foam and yellow mud, and the role of yellow mud is to increase the plasticity of coal face, and the ratio is generally one hundred to five, that is to say, one hundred catties of coal face plus five catties of yellow mud can make honeycomb coal.

This Li Chaosheng is no stranger, when he was a child, he saw his grandfather make this kind of thing, it is very simple, mainly molds, and there is no difficulty in grinding tools.

Under the personal supervision of Li Chaosheng, all parts cooperated, and the Lantian honeycomb coal plant officially began production in three days, and the workers pulled out the coal foam that no one wanted from the coal yard, followed by the proportional batching, followed by the shape of the honeycomb coal with abrasives, and dried it under the sun, and the first batch of honeycomb coal was successful in five days.

At the same time, the first batch of 500 furnaces of the iron furnace factory was also completed, and then Li Chaosheng designed honeycomb coal stove stores in various parts of Lantian, but the idea that Lantian people are toxic to coal is also deep-rooted, and Li Chaosheng also has a solution to this, that is, to treat all the stores as flagship stores and display them first.

So the first to use honeycomb coal stoves in Lantian were these shops, the shops put the stove in the middle, followed by a hole in the window, stretched out the chimney made of iron barrels, and then lit the honeycomb coal, and suddenly the whole house was hot.

At the same time, Li Chaosheng also popularized the clerks, letting them know why coal burning is poisoned, mainly because the people of the Ming Dynasty burn with braziers, braziers that don't smoke, the carbon monoxide produced by coal ignition can't be discharged, and the doors and windows are closed in winter, so they are naturally poisoned.

But our honeycomb coal stove is different, this iron chimney is specially made, and the poisonous gas is discharged, and there is only temperature in the house, and there is absolutely no poisonous gas.

After listening to the introduction of the clerks, the people were skeptical, and then the clerk emphasized that this was what the county said, and the big guy believed it for eight points, and then it was time to witness the miracle with his own eyes.

So the honeycomb coal stove shops around the country began to burn around the clock, and the clerks were all Lantian veterans, these people did not hesitate at all after learning that the county said that this thing was not poisonous, and slept directly in the store, don't you say that it is poisonous? Then I'll show you if it's poisonous.

And so the days passed, and then the people were surprised to find that the clerk in the store had nothing to do, and then the people began to be suspicious, and after ten days passed, finally someone believed, and came to the store and ordered a set of stoves, and a hundred pieces of honeycomb coal, after all, it was too cold, and they needed to be wrapped in a quilt when staying at home.

This is also something that cannot be helped, and it is now in the Xiaoice period of the earth's climate change, and the colder degree is not the same as that of the future generations.

And the first person to eat crabs, who may not be resistant to frost, took on the burden of this experiment, and countless people watched to see if the person who bought the stove would be poisoned.

After a few more days, the big guy found that the person who bought the stove was full of red face, and he didn't look like he had been poisoned at all, so he went over and asked, "What's the matter, brother, can this stove really burn coal?" ”

Hearing this, the man smiled and said, "Brother, can there be anything wrong with the things that the county respects all promises?" When have you ever seen the county respect harm us, I told you that this stove is so easy to use, the whole house is hot at one point, and you don't know, there are other things to do on this stove, such as you don't want to eat, throw two sweet potatoes up, a roast is more fragrant, and I suggest that when you buy, buy an iron kettle by the way, then make tea and drink some hot water, which can save trouble. ”

"Really?"

Everyone showed puzzled expressions, but the man smiled and said, "Don't you believe that I still don't believe in the county honor?" Besides, I've been using that stove for seven or eight days, isn't it okay? Don't hesitate, everyone, it's really okay, such a good thing can be used by us Lantian people. ”

Hearing this, the people were moved, so more and more people began to buy stoves, more and more people began to use honeycomb coal stoves, and in the blink of an eye, selling stoves became the hottest business in Lantian, and the income from selling stoves and honeycomb coal this winter has exceeded the money that Li Chaosheng set aside to repair houses for poor households, and even made Lantian's finances a little richer, so that Lantian's budget this year is much more, and Li Chaosheng can use the money to do more things.

Therefore, the little money that was robbed in the war was far from catching up with the profits brought by commercial development, so it was not possible to use military force, and the development route of Lantian was to help other Ming people and expand the territory as much as possible in the case of economic development.

Li Chaosheng thought about getting into his office, sat in front of the stove and started to bake the fire: "It's really cold this day." ”

Li Chaosheng muttered, and Gu Zi on the side also rubbed his hands and said: "County Zun, let me tell you something, there are two scholars in Jiangnan, one is called Huang Zongxi, and the other is called Gu Yanwu, who wants to see the county zun, can the county zun see it?" ”
