"Subordinate to Emperor Ji!" The door of the Peony Garden was wide open, and before Zhao Fujin entered, Cai Yan greeted him.

"Cai Langjun is really on time!" Zhao Fujin stretched out his hand and said very enthusiastically: "I can get General Zhou to take refuge, and I haven't thanked Cai Langjun for his matchmaking!" ”

"This is the matter of the ministers, and I don't dare to be the emperor's thanks!" Cai Yan was slightly surprised, and immediately returned to his normal appearance, and stretched out his hand to invite Zhao Fujin into the room.

In Zhao Fujin's previous life, he had never learned how to deal with people.

She looked at Cai Ying, who was naturally sitting in front of the tea case, waved her hand and asked Qiong Yu and Shen Niangzi to remove the screen, and naturally sat on the opposite side of the tea case, watching Cai Yan boil water to cook tea, scalding the cup, and doing it in one go.

"Cai Langjun, it seems that you enjoy the process of making tea very much!" Zhao Fujin turned his head sideways and looked at the small stove where the water was boiling: "What is burning in this tea stove, why didn't I see you adding something to it?" ”

"There is charcoal in it, and it is difficult to boil a dozen pots of hot water." Cai Yan scalded the cup and glanced at Zhao Fujin a little strangely: "Hasn't the emperor ever made tea herself?" ”

Carboniferous?

Zhao Fujin was stunned, if I remember correctly, Shitan is the predecessor of coal, right?

Zhao Fujin's head "buzzed", and she suddenly remembered that it seemed that stone charcoal had been widely used in life in the middle of the Tang Dynasty, but she was so excited that she couldn't sleep for a long time last night!

It wasn't until this moment that I suddenly remembered that Song Shenzong had set up a charcoal field as early as 1075, and when Zhao Ji arrived, it seemed that a charcoal field had been added, just south of Kaifeng City!

"Diji, what's wrong?" Cai Yan looked at Zhao Fujin's face for a while and turned white for a while, and asked a little strangely.

"Where did all this charcoal come from?" Zhao Fujin asked.

"Most of them are from Huaizhou, and the farthest and best ones are from Taixi." Cai Yan thought for a while, and then said, "What does Emperor Ji think of these coals? ”

What's the idea?

Zhao Fujin was depressed, because she had read so many history books, and even the fact that coal had appeared in the Great Song Dynasty had long been forgotten.

However, even if coal has been around for a long time, it has not been used in the manufacturing of technology.

Therefore, I still have an opportunity.

If you can't make money from coal, you should try electricity?

Thinking of this, she was excited again, if there was electricity, then she could do so much!

It's just that she only knows a little bit about these things, and there are no professional books in the study - I don't know if the computer can be connected to the Internet, and whether there will be one on the Internet?

Zhao Fujin was happy for a while, disappointed for a while, and looked at Cai Yan stunned: "Emperor Ji, if you have anything inconvenient, you can explain it to the lower officials, and the lower officials will do their best to help the emperor!" ”

"I want to control the coal field, what should I do?" Zhao Fujin decided that no matter which step he could take, the first task was to control the coal farm, and then according to the mineral deposit manual, train professional personnel to take over the coal minerals in various places, and be sure to convert the coal mine from private ownership to state ownership!

"This~~" Cai Yan was dumbfounded: "The coal field has now become the primary source of assets for the dynasty~~"

Zhao Ji is worried about the lack of money every day, in order to be able to make more money, not long ago four or five new coal farms were set up around Kaifeng.

"Then I want to build a carboniferous field, and then explore the new carboniferous resources." Zhao Fujin thought about it, and didn't force it to snatch food from Zhao Ji's mouth, after all, she had never had the idea of money in the treasury from the beginning.

"This can be done!" Cai Yan thought for a while: "Most of the current charcoal comes from the north, if the emperor wants to set up a charcoal field, he can set up a charcoal field in Fengxiang Mansion, Longxing Mansion, Yingtian Mansion and Daimyo Mansion, which can be mined and transported." It is not difficult to monopolize the resources of various places and then cooperate with the coal-farms in Beijing. ”

"Coal, can you mine it privately?" Zhao Fujin thought for a while: "It stands to reason that it is the same as salt tea, and it is not controlled by the government?" "Zhao Fujin is a little strange.

"It's okay to pick it privately. Since the first emperor, the government has implemented the '28 points system', and the lawsuit collects two cents, and the eight cents are allowed to be sold by the pit households. Cai replied.

That is to say, in the purchase of mining farms, the government levies 20% of the tax free of charge, and the remaining 80% of the products are owned by the contractor, which is allowed to be bought and sold freely.

Tut-tut, she originally thought that she would be alone and take all the coal mines under her own name, but now it seems that she can't do it.

"Cai Wulangjun, you have learned a lot!" Zhao Fujin praised sincerely.

"Emperor Ji has won the prize, please use tea!" Cai Yan held the freshly brewed tea in front of Zhao Fujin with both hands: "If the emperor can trust the lower officials, the lower officials have some manpower and can recommend them to the emperor to drive." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Fujin took the tea, smelled the fragrance of the tea, and said slowly: "It seems that Cai Langjun has made a lot of preparations over the years!" ”

"For the sake of the country, the lower officials are willing to die!" Cai Yan bowed with both hands, and then continued: "As a daughter, Emperor Ji is doing her best for the country, and the lower officials take the salary of the country, so they don't dare to slack off. ”

This is a very high-sounding statement.

Zhao Fujin felt that it was extremely useful, she pulled her hand up, and a copy of "Speaking of the Past and the Present" appeared in her hand: "Cai Wulang Jun Xu has also heard of it, I can communicate more than a thousand years later, right?" ”

As she spoke, she pushed the book in her hand forward, and in Cai Ying's surprised gaze, she sent it to the table in front of him: "In a thousand years, people will travel, not only have cars and boats, but also fly from the heavenly cliffs and capes of the Great Song Dynasty to the Daimyo's Mansion with the help of flying in the sky, and it will only take an hour and a half. ”

"Emperor Ji, is this book, and in the hands of the official family, from a thousand years later?" Cai Yan trembled his hands and picked up the oily and smooth book in front of him, and his heart was extremely shocked: "Will there be non-stop wars in the world a thousand years later?" ”

"That's nature, as long as people live, they always have to keep fighting." Zhao Fujin smiled slightly: "Village to village, township to township, city to city, country to country, in the end, it is also possible to fight with the universe, with heaven and earth." ”

It's just that the struggle between a country is mostly between fame and fortune, and it is often harmless.

What I am most afraid of is the fight between countries, once the war starts, it will be wiped out. Zhao Fujin pointed to "Talking about the Past and the Present", and said seriously: "This book is the history of the development of the Central Plains Dynasty, which is not the same as that in the hands of the officials. ”

"Cai Yunliang, thank you Emperor Ji for your attention!" Cai Yan stood tall and jade, straightened his robe and hat, and solemnly saluted: "Previously, Xia Guan read the "Geographical Atlas" from the official, and he had been envious for a long time, but he didn't expect to get a gift from the emperor today, and he was inexplicably grateful in his heart!" ”

Cai Yan is loyal and patriotic, full of enthusiasm, and just wants to throw everything between the mountains and rivers, and he is naturally very excited to get Zhao Fujin's gift of books.

Emperor Mingde can communicate the past and the present, has a natural advantage, can seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, why worry about the country is not prosperous!

When Cai Yan thought of this, he only felt that his heart was rippling, his whole body was accessible, and he had a sense of joy that he could see the moon when the clouds were open.
