Zhang Dehui came to the house to report the good news.

The steam engine was a big hit.

The price of a steam engine is 300 taels, and it is currently limited by production and cannot meet the demand, so a first-come-first-served strategy is adopted.

The deposit for each steam engine was set at thirty taels.

The two main mining areas of Xishan and Fangshan received 6,000 taels from each family.

"It's just a pity for honeycomb coal and coal stoves."

Looking at Zhang Dehui with a regretful face, Zhu Gaochi disagreed.

This person is indeed a businessman, and he is not looking for the wrong person.

But his vision is different from his.

He only sees business and profits, and he is the ruling class, so he attaches more importance to the promotion of productivity.

It's not nice to say.

He is the future emperor.

It's not that I think how powerful I am, I will definitely succeed, I was an ordinary person in my previous life, and I don't feel that my talent will change after crossing over.

It's that he has confidence in Zhu Di.

Fight for the world.

That's Zhu Di's business.

I just need to do a good job in industrial development, and then wait to inherit the family business.

How easy.

He doesn't know how to do it, but he knows what happened.

After the information explosion of later generations, who can't say two words.

Pointing out the next country.

Everyone is the king of keyboards.

The craftsman is his foundation, and according to his direction, he refines his ideas into real objects.

That's why he attaches great importance to Wansan and craftsmen.

In this case, Zhu Gaochi will certainly not be reluctant to honeycomb coal and coal stoves.

Anyway, the meat is in the pot, and the rotten is rotten in the pot,

"Honeycomb coal and coal stoves, large and cheap, are new things, we do it behind closed doors, although it is profitable, but we will encounter a lot of invisible trouble."

"This thing is related to people's livelihood and is needed by the people, of course, the people are the main thing."

Zhu Gaochi chose to benefit the people.

Merchants everywhere are allowed to copy and promote.

In the fastest time, the production and sales of honeycomb coal and coal stoves will be increased, so that the people can adapt to this thing.

In order to promote the people's demand for coal and expand the market for coal mining, Zhu Gaochi attaches great importance to it.

And the steam engine.

It's something you can control.

The common people could imitate the coal furnace, but they could not imitate the steam engine.

Those who can imitate steam engines must not be ordinary people.

Why the Industrial Revolution in the West was successful.

In addition to the continuous invention of craftsmen, but also because of the participation of powerful people.

The participation of the magnates has allowed the magnates to obtain a lot of profits, but it has not protected the interests of inventors.

Ordinary forces do not dare to imitate.

Yan Wangfu is the top vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, who dares to offend King Yan?

Those who have the strength to offend King Yan.

For example, the crown prince, the king of Jin and others, they will not rob the things of the Yan Wangfu because of interests.

"The eldest prince understands righteousness."

Zhang Dehui gave a thumbs up in admiration.

The government has always cared most about people's livelihood.

For example, the management of coal mines, mountain farms.

Because the government cannot meet the needs of the people's livelihood, neither the private mine owners nor the people will strictly control the illegal logging of trees.

In other words.

Limited by conditions, the management ability of the Ming government cannot keep up with the development of the situation, and it can only turn a blind eye and will not completely follow the law.

Otherwise, in the eight major mining areas in the west of Beiping City, none of the coal bosses escaped, including Zhang Dehui in front of him.

The sooner you replace firewood with coal, the better.

Otherwise, the continued use of firewood will be a devastating blow to the ecology of the Ming Dynasty.

"It's a big deal to push coal instead of firewood right now."

Zhu Gaochi revealed.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Zhang Dehui misunderstood.

"It's really as the eldest prince said that day, the mining area has to purchase our steam engine, which is the most profitable money, easy and troublesome."

It seems that he misunderstood the nobleman and regarded the nobleman as a stupid boy who didn't know oil, salt, firewood and rice.

Looked at.

Zhu Gaochi didn't explain any more.

Jincheng Qianli, the land of abundance.

It refers to Shaanxi.

One of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization.

Western scholars call it Eastern Chang'an, Western Rome.

However, the development of Shaanxi for more than 2,000 years and the dense population have led to the depletion of vegetation, so that soil erosion has accelerated the erosion of water.

Then floods and droughts became more frequent.

It also degraded the vegetation again.

The ecology has created a harsh climate.

The Ming Dynasty was in the Xiaoice period, and the north was also affected, but Shaanxi was the main area of the displaced people.

It can be seen that the impact of ecology is profound.

and the fall of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be inextricably linked.

As for whether coal will run out in the future?

This kind of thinking is too advanced, and Zhu Gaochi believes that there is no need to think about it in the next 1,000 years, and if you look at the whole world, then you don't need to think about it.

……

Soon.

New goods have appeared in various parts of Pei Binh Province.

There is only one business to do, and it takes a long time to expand rapidly.

When everyone does it together, it is visible to the naked eye all over the market.

The coal bosses want coal and coal, workers and workers, and they want business to have business, and everything is ready only to owe the east wind.

The Yanwang Mansion allowed them to make honeycomb coal and coal stoves, so there was no hindrance.

Dozens of coal bosses worked together, and shops in the prefectures and counties of the entire Beiping Province still began to peddle.

"Bang bang."

"Guys, come and take a look."

"It's longer than firewood, the fire is burning, and the price is low, so don't miss it."

……

All sorts of shouts to tell people that there are good things.

It attracted a lot of people to stop.

On the street in front of a grocery store, I want to block the road. One guy was tinkering with the coal stove in the street, and the rest were banging on a gong to attract people.

"I've never seen anything like this."

Someone asked curiously.

"Coal stoves and honeycomb coal."

"The guest officer can take a look, open the damper, and the fire will soon be prosperous, just like the guest officer's luck this year is booming."

"When the damper is closed, the saved firepower can be used to boil water and hot rice, and it burns longer, just like the fortune of a guest officer."

"Well said."

"Good for the lips."

The onlookers cheered for the guy's tongue.

The guy was on his face, not at all stage frightened.

The companion's eyes were full of envy.

"How dare Xu Ning speak in front of so many people, I don't dare, if it were me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to say anything."

Xu Ning has been an apprentice with the owner for six years and a buddy for four years.

Starting at the age of twelve, this year is already twenty-two years old.

He couldn't be a job forever.

Although the owner's shop is not small, it is not as good as the big shop, and there are not so many positions to promote people.

So he has already told the owner that he will go out to work alone next year.

The proprietor gave him a sum of money and talked to him about many business matters.

For the future.

The guy was full of anticipation.

Starting from the picker, he walked all over the countryside with his feet, saving money, one year, two years, three years, ten years, even if it was twenty years.

I can always be like the owner, the day when I have my own shop.

Beiping City.

It's like a picture, slowly unfolding.
