What else can I do if I can't mess with it?

Naturally, they could only choose to join, but just when these gentry arranged for people to go to all parts of the country to find and buy coal mines.

In the imperial study, Emperor Zhaowu was listening to Ning Guogong talking about the benefits of coal mines.

"Really?"

Emperor Zhaowu was also quite excited.

Throughout the ages, the two most difficult things for ordinary people are food and clothing.

If this coal mine is used well, it can directly solve a problem.

Think about the cold winter season every year, among the compromises that come up from all over the country, the most is how many people freeze to death in the wind and snow.

He's also powerless.

"Naturally, Chen has already experienced it himself, and after the coal mine has been treated, as long as attention is paid to ventilation, it is completely non-toxic."

"It's better than charcoal."

When Fang Qiao on the side heard this, he also nodded again and again and said; "Your Majesty, the minister has already tried it, and it is indeed a good thing."

Ning Guogong's words, Emperor Zhaowu may still be a little suspicious, but Fang Qiao said so, then this coal block is definitely the best thing.

"How did you find this?"

Hearing this, Ning Guogong and Fang Qiao glanced at each other, and finally Fang Qiao spoke; "It wasn't discovered by the ministers, but the third lady of the Huo family."

"Speaking of which, the ministers are also stained."

Subsequently, he told Huo Junyao before and after that they asked them to buy the coal mine.

"It's her again"

Hearing about Huo Junyao again, Emperor Zhaowu's mood was very complicated.

"I couldn't have been more wrong."

After such a period of thinking, Emperor Zhaowu's mentality has changed a lot.

Originally, after ascending the throne and becoming the emperor, the heart that floated up little by little slowly precipitated.

For his words, neither Fang Qiao nor Ning Guogong had words.

"Fang Aiqing, since this coal mine is so easy to use, how do you say it should be done, so that this thing can be used as soon as possible, this matter must be as soon as possible, so that it can be popularized as soon as possible, and my people can be spared the pain of freezing as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Fang Qiao pondered for a moment and arched his hand; "Your Majesty, the minister feels that the top priority is not to promote, but to issue an edict prohibiting the buying and selling of coal mines, and at the same time, the coal mines produced will also be purchased by the imperial court."

"Why is that?"

"I understand that coal mines are forbidden to be bought and sold, but these coal mines still have to be purchased by the imperial court, and Fang Aiqing's imperial court can't come up with so much money."

Don't look at the price of this coal block is very low, but no one can say how many coal blocks there are in the country, but as Ning Guogong said just now, his family still has tens of thousands of catties, which is a lot of money.

Although there is still some money in the treasury of the Yu Dynasty just after the autumn harvest, it seems that winter is about to begin, and the border side has repeatedly written to ask for military expenses, and it is necessary to keep some in case of emergency.

In the cold winter season, disasters are most likely to occur.

"The emperor can rest assured that the court will buy it and sell it to the people at today's price, so as to prevent some people from raising the price and causing the people to not be able to afford it."

"Well, the court doesn't spend a penny, but because of his appearance, he can gain a lot of fame on the people's side."

"Moreover, as far as the minister knows, the intention of the coal mine is not taken seriously, and there are still many places across the country that do not have a clear owner, so it can be regarded as the imperial court."

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, the emperor can arrange people to mine, which will not only be convenient for the people, but also generate income for the imperial court."

"And this coal mine is not just for heating."

As Fang Qiao's words fell, Emperor Zhaowu also nodded again and again, the territory of the Yu Dynasty is not small, and the demand in various places is also quite large.

It's not tens of thousands of catties at all, hundreds of thousands of catties can be done, the imperial court comes forward to buy it, and then sells it at the current price, although it doesn't make money, but it doesn't lose money.

This not only makes it convenient for the people and leaves a good reputation on the side of the people, but also effectively prevents some profiteers from raising prices.

On the same day, Emperor Zhaowu issued an edict prohibiting all coal mines from buying and selling.

There is already a master's coal mine, and the coal that is mined will be purchased by the imperial court.

As soon as this edict arrived, it directly made the people on the side of the scholar clan half dead.

Doesn't it make them want to join?

With the issuance of the edict, Emperor Zhaowu also learned that this coal mine was also of great help to iron smelting after inquiry.

Especially after seeing Ning Guogong's new saber, he was even more overjoyed.

Iron, this is an important resource for a country's armament, and it can increase production and quality, even if it is just a little enough to make him pay attention.

"Needless to say, that girl made this thing again, right?"

Hearing this, Ning Guogong smiled wryly.

"Your Majesty, this matter was actually promised not to be passed on, but this thing is really good."

"Don't blame the Huo family, although she is also smelting iron herself, she just uses it herself, and she doesn't create those messy things."

Hearing this, Emperor Zhaowu glanced at him and said coldly; "I'm so cautious in your eyes?"

He has long known about the fact that the people are secretly smelting iron, so will he put an end to it?

He didn't think about it at all, and he didn't have to think about it, because there was no way to put an end to it.

Therefore, he can only adopt the method of turning a blind eye, as long as the amount is not large, and it is all self-produced and sold, so as not to go to foreign countries.

"If she wants to get it, let her do it, I believe her."

"Fang Aiqing, you said that she has made a contribution to the dynasty again, how should I reward her?"

Hearing this, Fang Qiao pondered for a moment and shook his head; "The minister thinks that it is better not to reward for the time being, you can write it down first, and wait for the right opportunity in the future to reward it together."

Just kidding, how long have you been giving someone else's title off?

Now you have to reward again, according to what he knows about Emperor Zhaowu, what can this reward?

It is nothing more than to find a way to restore Huo Junyao's title.

But is this thing that easy to recover?

Although those guys in the Guanzhong Group were hit hard this time, they were in the wrong, and Huo Junyao was also punished, which made them feel a little balanced in their hearts.

If it were restored now, what would these people think?

There is also the incident of this coal mine, and a little investigation will tell where the root cause is.

When the time comes, can those guys from the Shi clan not hate Huo Junyao?

I am afraid that if Emperor Zhaowu dares to propose the restoration of Huo Junyao's title, many people will immediately oppose it.

"Fang Aiqing is right, or you are thoughtful, then I will write down this merit for her first."

"It's her again, it's already like this, and she's still restless, does she really think that our warriors are easy to bully?"

In the capital, in the mansion of a certain scholar, after learning that Huo Junyao had made the coal block first, the head of the family was directly furious.

In just a few days, their family's charcoal business suffered a major blow.

Some high-end charcoal in front of it can still have some sales, but the effect of the return air furnace has spread, and many families in the capital have bought the return air stove.

This price is not cheap, so the high-end market is also occupied by Huo Junyao.
