After the first emperor agreed, Zhao Si and Li Si had a profound discussion.

As a result, two regulations were added to the complicated Qin law.

First, whether people everywhere use charcoal or firewood, local township elders and county officials have the obligation to urge users to pay attention to ventilation.

This regulation enhances the performance appraisal of officials.

The township Laoli implements a system of rewards and punishments.

If there are many deaths in any place because of the fire poison entering the body, it is that the officials and village elders are not in place to inform and need to be held accountable.

If they do not listen to the dissuasion, the first verbal warning is to order them to obey it, and if there are three times, then the officials and village elders have the right to impose a small punishment, and if they repeatedly do not listen to the persuasion, they can shave off their eyebrows and beard.

Second, local governments are obliged to carry out boiled water promotion activities.

In the area of Lingnan and Chudi, it is necessary to urge the officials and the people not to drink raw water, and the official roads near the city must set up water stalls and often boil hot water for the people to drink.

At the same time, the government will provide a certain degree of subsidies and assistance to the Lingnan region, and it is necessary to put an end to the bad habit of drinking raw water in the local area.

This is something that Zhao Si and Li Si have discussed for a long time.

First, for the regulation of coal use, Zhao Si has been thinking about this punishment for a long time.

After careful consideration, Zhao Si believed that this kind of matter, which was not convenient and related to daily life, could not be regulated by severe corporal punishment.

Therefore, the power delegated to the localities was only verbal warnings, and the maximum penalty was 10 lashes, and it was strictly stipulated that the flogging should not affect the daily life of the people, and the heaviest punishment was the shaving of the eyebrows and beard.

This law should be based on advice and promotion, not punishment, and Li Si quickly agreed to Zhao Si's proposal because of the change of ideology.

As for the law of drinking cooked water, because considering that boiling hot water also requires fuel resources, for the common people, if they mainly drink hot water every day, it may be a heavy burden before the stone is not promoted, so it is only to urge the local government to promote it, and those who have the ability can drink it, and those who are not able can not drink it, mainly to let the people know in their hearts that drinking hot water can avoid most diseases.

For the southern part of the Chu State, as well as the Lingnan region and other areas where the miasma is very complicated.

Drinking hot water becomes a must.

But the people are really poor, so this subsidy is finally paid by the Great Qin government, and then the custom of drinking hot water is promoted in Lingnan and the southern part of Chu State.

There is no way, the living conditions over there are too bad, and the probability of death from drinking raw water is too great.

It is nothing more than to set up hot water paving on the official road near the city, and the post stations along the way must also be able to provide a supply of drinking hot water at all times, and at the same time support some fuel resources to that side, and then the government will enforce it.

Of course, the government must charge for hot water, but the charging price is very low, one dollar can buy twenty bowls of hot water, which is about five cents for the people, which is an acceptable thing.

And this fee is not necessary, it is up to local officials to decide on a case-by-case basis, not to make money, but mainly to avoid waste and wool.

After the decree was promulgated, it did not cause too many waves.

On the contrary, it was the destruction of the Zheng family that made them truly feel the benefits.

The Zheng family was destroyed, and it was very easy to fall.

How big is Shanyang, and the border land, the total is only forty or fifty thousand people.

The Zheng family is just a local tyrant, and more than a hundred knights strictly carry out Zhao Si's orders like tigers and wolves.

The chickens and dogs were not left, the eggs were shaken and yellowed, and even the passing dogs were kicked twice.

There is one less tyrant on the top of the people's heads, at least there is no one to stop them from picking up Shini.

For the local people in Shanyang, the biggest change is that there is no Zheng family to collect taxes when they pick up stones for the winter this year, and secondly, the local villagers and Li are suddenly active, urging them to ventilate from time to time.

Ventilation does not mean that the door or window is always open, but only need to pay attention to the burning time and timely ventilation, which will not affect the normal heating.

Trouble is definitely trouble, and naturally there are people who do not comply because of trouble, so they are severely punished by the villagers.

There are also a few who have been repeatedly banned, and their eyebrows and beards have been shaved off and paraded through the streets.

There is no way, the first emperor's drive is parked right under his nose, and of course the local officials and village elders are in place.

There were even officials who got up in the middle of the night at a fixed point, knocking on the door to inform ventilation as they heard louder.

It can be said that he is responsible to the extreme......

And the effect is really obvious, at least Shanyang, a place that is currently under the nose of the First Emperor, after strictly implementing this law, there really has been no one who died of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Of course, it is impossible to die, who can be poisoned after an hour of wandering?

If you don't ventilate, you will be whipped, and you have to shave off your eyebrows and mustache, who would be reluctant to open the door for a while?

As for Zhao Si, he is tinkering with raw coal rough processing, honeycomb coal and coal stoves and coal stoves.

This kind of thing is easier said than done.

After a few days of self-consideration, Zhao Si finally chose to gather the craftsmen who followed the team to brainstorm.

With brainstorming and Zhao Si providing ideas and general directions, progress is flying fast.

It didn't take long to get the honeycomb coal.

It's best to have yellow mud and sawdust so that it burns more fully.

The corresponding mold was also determined.

After honeycomb coal, it is a coal stove.

When Zhao Si was a child, there was a coal stove at home, and it was not very difficult to imitate it, but there was a problem, the coal stove was covered with a layer of iron sheet.

Even this small layer of iron sheet cannot be consumed by ordinary people.

So after careful consideration, Zhao Si began to discuss the possibility of improvement with the craftsmen.

In the end, the pottery coal stove was made, and after many tests and improvements, it basically did not affect the practicality.

In this way, the only place where iron needs to be used throughout the body is the sealing place, which is not so difficult for the people to bear.

As for the fire tongs for coal exchange, there is no big way, and for the time being, you can only use consumables.

Considering the problem of fire tongs, the coal stove may still not be very practical for the people at the bottom, so Zhao Si began to experiment with the craftsmen chimney earthen stove again.

This is not a difficult thing, chimneys and pots are already in this era, and it is really not difficult to combine them.

The first generation of cooktops was designed to be luxurious, with sophisticated flues and even bellows to support combustion.

This generation of designs was retained by Zhao Si, but it was not promoted, without him, you have to consider that the people are not professional craftsmen.

For the promotion of people's livelihood things, it must be simple and simple, practical and practical, cheap and cheap.

However, it cannot be said that there is a problem with the design of this group of craftsmen, and Zhao Si did not abandon it, but kept it, and it may be useful in the future.

After being rejected by Zhao Si countless times, the craftsmen collectively set up a simple stove and a short and simple chimney out of mud and straw for Zhao Si to see.

Zhao Si gave it a pass.

Zhao Si didn't even think about it when he built the stove with molded mud bricks.

Never overestimate the hands-on ability of Qianshou in this era, like this kind of yellow mud live straw, a simple stove that can ensure combustion and ventilation and smoke removal, has the possibility of popularization for Qianshou.

The worst design of the craftsmen was approved by Zhao Si, Zhao Si paid out of his own pocket to give the reward, the craftsmen even refused to accept it, and under Zhao Si's strong request, a group of craftsmen accepted Zhao Si's reward as if they had eaten.

"In addition to Guanzhong, most of the Qianshou in the world are still using plows to cultivate, and even the people in many places don't even understand when to irrigate, their houses are all built crookedly, such exquisite stoves, can they build them personally?" Zhao Si explained seriously.

"If you want to promote things to the world, the most important thing must be simple, even if it is a little inferior because of this, it doesn't hurt, like this kind of thing involving thousands of households, a requirement that must be met is that as long as a person takes a little look at it, he can probably get it out by himself, only in this way, can it be possible to promote the world."

Zhao Si's final choice of design made the craftsmen reluctant to even accept Zhao Si's reward, and the First Emperor had heard of this.

Now Zhao Si has given his own explanation.

"And I didn't abandon their other designs because I chose this stove.

For example, this coal stove, I guess the group that will really use it widely should be Li Shu, who lives in the city and has a lot of money.

Like the beautiful stoves they designed, I think the group that can be used should be the more wealthy aristocratic families.

And I have seen Li Shu who is really at the bottom, they can't even afford to wear shoes, they can't afford to buy clothes, and they are starving for half a year a year.

As long as the stove can exhaust smoke and help burn rice, it will be practical enough for them. Zhao Si said.

The First Emperor nodded and felt amused.

Zhao Si, this kid is strange, he doesn't look like he has much heart on weekdays, but this kind of thing involving people's livelihood, he always thinks very carefully, and tries his best to take care of the lowest Li Shu.

He can feel that Zhao Si has feelings for such a group, but Zhao Si's life history is really there, and Zhao Si's feelings are unreasonable.

This is not sympathy, nor is it pity.

Be...... Empathy? Or even reverence?

It's not that the First Emperor hasn't seen people who have deep sympathy and compassion for the poor sentient beings, but Zhao Si's feelings for this group of people are different from theirs, Zhao Si is not high, on the contrary, he puts this group of people in the innermost.

"Your Majesty, when you visit the world next, I want to promote the clay stove and the rough production of Shi Ni along the way, and I also hope that Your Majesty can allow Shi Ni to replace firewood in the future, so that the promotion of Shi Ni can be accelerated a lot." Zhao Si said seriously with a smile on his face.

The First Emperor nodded, this is a matter of benefit and no expense.

He cared about something else compared to that.

After the departure of Zhao Simeizizi, the First Emperor summoned Li Si, and after deliberation, set the regulations.

The minerals in the territory of Shini will be nationalized.

In nearby counties where there are minerals, you can try to sell honeycomb coal and coal stoves by government media.
