Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 78, I am so heartbroken

In the Warm Pavilion of the Qing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi and the three elders finished discussing state affairs, chatting and laughing with each other as before, and passed the time.

The weather was getting colder and colder, but Emperor Hongzhi's warm pavilion was as warm as spring. Perhaps it was more economical in other aspects, but this expensive warm pavilion was used all the time.

There was no way, Emperor Hongzhi's health was not good all the time, and he was especially afraid of the cold in winter. The imperial doctor also inferred that this was most likely related to the difficult situation of Emperor Hongzhi when he was a child.

When Emperor Hongzhi was very young, because of Concubine Wan Gui, he did not dare to announce his existence at all. He was raised by the eunuchs and maids in the palace carrying Concubine Wan Gui.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine the situation of Emperor Hongzhi. It is said that when Emperor Hongzhi's father Ming Xianzong first met Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi's umbilical cord had not been cut off, and his hair had grown to Dragging on the ground, it can be said to be very miserable.

As a child, the root cause of the illness fell, and Emperor Hongzhi's health has always been poor, so even if he saves money, the warm pavilion never stops in winter.

Inside the Nuan Pavilion, it was as warm as spring. Outside the Nuan Pavilion, the sky was drowsy, and it was snowing heavily. In just a blink of an eye, the snow became bigger and bigger, and in a blink of an eye, it became heavy snow.

"It's snowing again, and I don't know if the common people can survive this winter."

Emperor Hongzhi looked at the heavy snow outside, and remembered the scene he saw during his private visit, and couldn't help but start to worry again. He has a kind heart, he is a good person, he is also a good emperor, an emperor who really cares about the people.

Ever since he chatted with a few ordinary people during the private visit on Weibo and learned of the hardships of the people at the bottom, he has disliked snow very much. If it was before, he would still be in the mood to write poems and enjoy plum blossoms to express his feelings.

"Your Majesty, you can rest assured. Since the people in the capital have briquettes, it is convenient and economical to cook fire, cook, heat and boil water. Recently, people in the capital have rarely been found frozen to death. If the weather was so cold before, the capital Hundreds of people would freeze to death at least a day.”

Liu Jian quickly smiled and said, "The people in the capital can use cheap briquettes, it's all thanks to His Majesty's great grace."

"When you say that, my face turns red, I'm ashamed!"

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head. He knew that the credit was actually Liu Jin's. Without Liu Jin, there would be no briquettes. Even though he was the emperor and wanted to help the people, he was powerless.

The emperor is not omnipotent. Many things are powerless, and there are too many, too many things that cannot be changed.

"Xiao Jing, is there any news from Liu Jin recently?"

Thinking of Liu Jin, Emperor Hongzhi also hurriedly asked about Xiao Jing.

"Yes, I'm about to report to His Majesty."

Xiao Jing hurriedly said respectfully: "Marquis Shou Ning and Uncle Jian Chang went to Xishan a few days ago."

"Marquis Shouning and Uncle Jianchang?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately frowned. He was too aware of the pissing nature of the two brothers. In order to save money, the two brothers ran to the palace every three days, and almost regarded their palace as their own home. .

And the purpose of the two brothers running to the palace is very simple, that is to come to the palace to grab a meal with Queen Zhang, just to have a good meal and run to the palace every day, one can imagine what kind of goods these two brothers are .

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?"

"Is Liu Jin alright?"

Emperor Hongzhi was very afraid that something would happen to Liu Jin. He still liked Liu Jin, a young man who was talented and able to do practical things. Just a briquette not only solved the problem of heating the people in the capital in winter, but also brought money to his own money every year. The income of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver came.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with Liu Jin. Marquis Shouning and Uncle Jianchang did not make things difficult for Liu Jin, because Liu Jin passed on the method of making briquettes and coal stoves to the two uncles."

"Furthermore, Liu Jin spread the method of making the briquette and the coal stove. Now everyone in the capital knows the method of making the briquette."

Xiao Jing replied, he originally wanted to report this matter to Emperor Hongzhi earlier, but it was reported from Xishan, Liu Jin was very confident and seemed to have a countermeasure already, so he was not in a hurry, and now Emperor Hongzhi asked, He just said it.

"That's good, as long as Liu Jin is fine."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then seemed to realize something immediately, and said, "Everyone knows how to make briquettes. Does that mean that Xishan Coal Industry can't make much money..."

Before Emperor Hongzhi could finish his words, he immediately felt a burst of heartache. It was hard for him to find a way to make money. He could earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver for himself. Soup, it is absolutely impossible to earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver this year.

Emperor Hongzhi was really heartbroken, and he was also short of money. It was also very important for him to have hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year in his account. He lived frugally and saved money for more than ten years.

Originally, he had hoped that after the Xishan Coal Industry made money, he would also have the money to improve his life, and he would also be able to spend some money to subsidize the national treasury, but now it has all been wiped out.

"Oh, it's because I didn't think carefully. Such a huge pressure fell on him Liu Jin. He is just a scholar. How can these dignitaries in the capital see it? If I announce my identity earlier, I won't There will be such a thing."

Heartache is heartache, but Emperor Hongzhi still felt that the responsibility was his own, and Liu Jin must have been coerced and lured by powerful dignitaries such as Shou Ninghou and Jianchang Bo, so he handed over this method.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to blame yourself. Liu Jin seems to have a countermeasure here, and it seems that he intends to involve more people. He must be able to come up with a solution."

Xiao Jing is too familiar with his master, he is too kind and kind-hearted, it is easy to take responsibility for various things on his own head, so he also said hastily.

"Is there a countermeasure?"

"If everyone makes this briquette, the sales of Xishan Coal Industry will definitely decline sharply, and it will definitely have a huge impact. Does he have other methods?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately regained his energy. It seemed that he could keep his annual income of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and his heart stopped hurting immediately.

"This, the slave doesn't know anymore, but we will know soon."

Xiao Jing smiled and shook his head and replied.
