"Capture and kill sixteen horsemen and go straight to the Zheng family?" The First Emperor put down the bamboo slip and smiled on his face.

"What about Zhao Si?"

"Zhao Shilang is on his way back." He bowed weakly.

"It's hard to get angry with this kid." The First Emperor spoke with interest.

"By the way, Zhao Shilang also said that if you want to shake all the Zheng family's eggs, the earthworms will have to be split in half vertically." He smiled weakly.

The First Emperor couldn't help but laugh because of this.

It can be seen that Zhao Si is really angry, but this kid really has his own comedic effect.

"Send the Black Ice Platform to guard the main roads in Shanyang, don't leave alone." The smile on the First Emperor's face converged, and there was a hint of contemplation between his eyebrows.

Here, it is the old land of Zhao Kingdom......

A glimpse of the leopard in the tube.

The grassroots execution of the Qin State is really poor, so bad that someone dares to collect taxes privately, and the most important thing is that this bad reputation has been carried by the First Emperor.

The Zheng family's appearance is too ugly, at best it is just a local force that does not enter the stream, and the real danger is those big nobles who not only have a lot of wealth, but also have a good reputation.

Suddenly bowed down and obeyed.

The First Emperor picked up the bamboo slips in a good time.

For the First Emperor, the situation did not exceed his expectations.

It's just a Zheng family, compared to destroying a Zheng family, it's even more interesting than Zhao Si's rare anger.

The bamboo slip didn't look at it for long, Zhao Si had already rushed back with a horse, and came to the first emperor's drive with a smoke.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." Zhao Si said seriously.

When it comes to clan punishment, I must report it to the First Emperor.

"No need to be polite, I already know that the Zheng family collects taxes privately, and it is in line with the clan." The First Emperor waved his hand.

"The minister still has something to do!" Zhao Si was stunned for a moment and continued to speak.

Only then did the First Emperor put down the bamboo slip and looked at Zhao Si, who was kneeling in front of him.

"Say it."

"The cold disaster came suddenly, His Majesty stopped in Shanyang, the heavy snow came early, the people of Shanyang did not have time to collect more firewood, and now they have to supply the needs of driving, now the people have no firewood to rely on to survive the winter, the ministers into Shanyang saw, there are old people in rags, there are children with sores on their hands and feet, and the frozen dead do not know the geometry, the cold winter wax moon, and even no firewood for cooking...... "Zhao Si sighed.

The First Emperor agreed to kill the Zheng family because the Zheng family violated the Qin law and collected taxes on behalf of the central government.

And Zhao Si wanted to kill the Zheng family, just because the empathy between him and the head of the Qian, had nothing to do with the law, even if the Qin law stipulated that what the Zheng family did was right, Zhao Si would kill him when he saw it.

The results are the same, but the reasons are not the same.

The First Emperor pondered for a long time when he heard this.

Heavy snow blocking the road, this is a natural disaster, and there is nothing to be done.

"Then remove half ......of the firewood supply," the First Emperor finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, this is not the case!" When Zhao Si heard this, he knew that the First Emperor would be wrong, and hurriedly explained.

"That's the case, when the minister found out in the good sun, the people had no firewood to burn, so they went into the mountain to take the stone Nirvana for warmth, and the Zheng family took this opportunity to privately block the people from entering the mountain and collect flint tax, which is also the reason why the minister made a big move." Zhao Si opened his mouth to explain.

"Shi Nir?"

"It's a kind of black stone, it can be burned, it is recorded in the Book of Mountains and Seas, it burns when you light it, the smell is a little pungent, and the smoke is relatively large, but it is enough for winter heating." Zhao Si opened his mouth and said.

"That's a good thing, too." The First Emperor nodded.

"Yes, but the people spread that there is fire poison in the stone, and the use of the stone to heat is like drinking water to quench thirst, and there are often people who have no firewood to burn, and they die of fire poison in the stone to warm the stone, so although there are many stones, the people will not use it until the last resort." Zhao Sidao.

The First Emperor didn't quite understand what Zhao Si was going to say, so he didn't say anything, and motioned for Zhao Si to continue.

"After the observation of the minister, it was found that Shi Ni's death was indeed due to poisoning, but this situation can be avoided, as long as the window is opened for ventilation and the space is kept flowing, you can avoid the death of fire poisoning." Zhao Si said.

"In fact, not only Shini has fire poison, charcoal burning also has fire poison, and firewood burning also has fire poison, but compared with charcoal and firewood, it is more intense, but these fire poisons can be avoided as long as you pay attention to ventilation." Zhao Si opened his mouth and said.

"Just like the land of South Vietnam, there are many miasma, but in fact, most of them are because mosquitoes and viruses breed in that place, and the water source is not clean enough. Zhao Si opened his mouth and said.

The ancients did not know the importance of drinking cooked water, in fact, during the Tang and Song dynasties, some people had already proposed a way to avoid miasma entering the body by drinking boiled water, and the Song Dynasty and even the government also introduced a law to enforce it, but because the enforcement was not in place, it was gone.

In ancient times, just drinking boiling water could make the risk of survival in ancient times plummet.

But if this kind of thing is not enforced by the government, it will take too long to form a habit, and people are lucky.

Not to mention, there is a cost to drinking plain water, and the firewood and carbon used to boil the water are genuinely expensive.

"I would like to ask Your Majesty to issue a decree, all those who use stone to make fire, must pay attention to ventilation, the decree must be sent to the township, handed over to the village elders to carry out, for those who ignore the order, the village elders have the right to punish them, and when the decree is issued, if there are people in a place who die because of fire poisoning, it must be because the village elders do not supervise the implementation in place, and the government can punish them by holding the villagers accountable.

The price of the stone is not expensive, and the quantity is relatively large, and it is a good thing to pay attention to ventilation when using the stone for heating, and such a decree will not cause too much trouble to the people.

And drinking boiled water, but you need firewood to boil water, which may be a burden for the people, Your Majesty can order it to be promoted by the government, not enforced, the miasma in the Central Plains is not too much, as long as you pay attention to the water source, generally speaking, there is no big problem.

For example, in miasma places such as South Vietnam, it is easy to die if they drink raw water, so it needs to be enforced by decree that they must drink cooked water, which can effectively reduce the casualties of South Vietnamese reclamation and speed up the development of South Vietnam. Zhao Si gave his own proposal.

The First Emperor did not hesitate and immediately agreed with Zhao Si's opinion.

Anyway, there are enough provisions of the Qin Law on the norms of people's livelihood, not bad for these two, and if what Zhao Si said is true, these two laws alone can save Daqin a lot of losses, so why not?

"In addition, the minister has a reluctant request." Zhao Si said.

"Since you are reluctant, you won't be invited......" the First Emperor waved his hand.

Compared with these small things that benefit but do not cost, the First Emperor is more concerned about the mentality that Zhao Si shows today.

"Forehead ......" was choked by the First Emperor, and Zhao Si could only laugh.

"Your Majesty, would you like me to invite me first?"

A smile appeared on the face of the First Emperor, waiting for Zhao Si's next step.

"Shi Ni is available in many places, and the output is very large, but the utilization rate is relatively low, in addition to the rich mine, most of the Shi Ni is difficult to make fire, there is too much smoke, the smell is pungent, and there is fire poison, so Shi Ni This kind of good and cheap things have become chicken ribs, and even cooking is not easy to use, so it can only be mixed with Shi Ni and firewood.

The minister plans to take advantage of this time to make certain improvements to Shi Ni and promote it in the world.

It is winter now, His Majesty is driving through all parts of the world, and it is indispensable to make fires to warm and cook, if you can, the minister is getting it right, and I want to ask Your Majesty to take the lead and use Shi Ni to make a fire to heat and boil water in the convoy, so that the people will eliminate the fear of fire poison, and the minister can also take the opportunity to promote the use of Shi Ni in all directions.

In this way, the people can use the cheap and easy to use stone, and the cost of lighting a fire in the future will be greatly reduced, and life will be slightly better. ”

Advertise, advertise in the name of the First Emperor.

The first emperor has used Shi Nirvana, and the first emperor is not afraid of fire and poison, what are you afraid of?

Coupled with the promulgated specifications for the use of Shini, Zhao Si promoted the production method of honeycomb coal and the simple production of coal stoves when he accompanied him, and the life of the people of Daqin would be much better.

Among other things, people in areas with nearby coal mines will benefit from this.

In the long run, Shi Ni will definitely circulate because of this, and the utilization rate of coal by the people and even the government will be further improved.

Maybe someone has come up with a technology tree for coal smelting because of this.

To Zhao Si's surprise......

The First Emperor nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

Then he looked at Zhao Si seriously and asked a crucial question: "Do you think Shi Ni is considered a mine?" ”

Daqin implements the strategy of Guanshan Hai, that is, all natural minerals belong to the government, for example, this mountain belongs to you, but the salt, iron and copper mines above do not belong to Ling, and private individuals do not have the right to mine and smelt.

The First Emperor was keenly aware that if Zhao Si could really make corresponding improvements, it would be a consumable product that could be popularized to thousands of households.

The First Emperor naturally had the idea of bringing it into the system of Guanshan and Hai.

"Count! Absolutely! ”

Zhao Si replied without any hesitation.

How can coal not be considered a mineral? Even if he is not a mineral, then the first emperor said that he is.

The First Emperor nodded, and Zhao Si left in a hurry.

With the approval of the First Emperor, the Zheng family was annihilated, and the corresponding laws and decrees were issued, the people in the Shanyang area would be much better.

No one stopped them from using the stone to keep warm, and as long as they paid attention to opening the windows for ventilation, they would not die of fire poison.

Next, Zhao Si only needs to point out the technology tree of honeycomb coal and raw coal rough refining, and Shi Ni will be able to fly into thousands of households in the true sense.
