Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 135 Don't worry!

When Zhu Xiongying came out of the Wenhua Hall, he saw Qian Tang kneeling in front of the hall with a few thorn sticks on his back.

see.

Zhu Xiongying hurriedly strode forward and grabbed Qian Tang: "Old Qian, what are you doing?"

To be honest, Zhu Xiongying did not expect Qian Tang to plead guilty. At that time, Qian Tang scolded him as a fool. In fact, he was angry, so he deliberately asked Qian Tang to go back and try anthracite. By the way, slap Qian Tang in the face.

Unexpectedly, Qian Tang would directly take the blame for Jing and come here to plead guilty.

For an old man in his 70s, Zhu Xiongying naturally would not let him kneel down.

Moreover, Qian Tang's spirit of responsibility moved him.

Qian Tang didn't get up, but looked at Zhu Xiongying, and said earnestly: "I'm confused! I almost ruined His Highness's important affairs, and I deserve death. Please punish him!"

Zhu Xiongying smiled and asked, "How was the test last night?"

Qian Tang quickly replied: "Good! Very good!"

Speaking of this, Qian Tang began to get a little excited: "I tried it with Tan Tanweng last night. When this coal burns, there is only a little white smoke, and it lasts longer than charcoal. It is really a god to keep out the cold!"

After hearing Qian Tang's words, all the ministers present were in an uproar.

This coal can actually be used for heating!
It completely subverted their cognition. In their cognition, coal burns with thick smoke and is highly poisonous. No wonder Qian Tang, who is famous for being smelly and hard, will take the blame.

But where did the emperor get this smokeless and non-toxic coal?

While the ministers were amazed, they were also full of doubts.

But Qian Tang helped them to ask their doubts: "Your Highness, I dare to ask, where does this charcoal come from?"

Zhu Xiongying said with a smile: "Old Qian Ruo can't afford to kneel, it's hard for him to talk when he bends down like this!"

Qian Tang was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that Zhu Xiongying had been bowing to support him, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart: "Your Highness, minister..."

"Get up and talk!"

"My lord, thank you Your Highness!"

With Zhu Xiongying's support, Qian Tang stood up with some difficulty...

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was not far away, looked at it with a smile, and asked the daily life note officer next to him: "Have you written it down?"

"Return to Your Majesty, it has been recorded in detail!" The daily life note officer replied respectfully.

"Well, remember it well for us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed so hard that he couldn't see his teeth. The scene in front of him may not be a good story.

And over there, after Qian Tang stood up, Zhu Xiongying said: "This charcoal is also called coal. I think you all know where it comes from. Coal burning is poisonous, and you are also very clear, but Gu gave Lord Qian last night." The best is anthracite."

"anthracite?"

This is the first time the ministers have heard this name.

Zhu Xiongying nodded and continued: "There are actually not a few reserves of this anthracite, but you need to know how to distinguish it. In fact, it is very simple to distinguish. You only need to take a thumb-sized coal and throw it into the fire. Bituminous coal burns quickly with an open flame and smoke. Anthracite takes a long time to burn with almost no flame and no smoke."

That's it!

All the ministers suddenly realized that coal is divided into bituminous coal and anthracite.

Qian Tang asked again: "Your Highness, how much anthracite can be mined in a day, is there really enough for the common people?"

In fact, last night, Qian Tang spent the whole night thinking about the issue of this anthracite, which can be said to have done enough homework.

Zhu Xiongying replied with a smile: "As long as there are enough manpower, the daily supply is not a problem."

In fact, on the land of China, anthracite coal accounts for one-tenth of the total coal production, and in later generations, the annual output can reach [-] million tons.

But now I have found out in Fangshan that the anthracite there is not buried deep, so it is relatively simple to mine. As he just said, as long as there are enough people, the daily output is enough to supply the entire capital for heating. demand.

As far as the whole country is concerned, coal is most concentrated in Shanxi.

If that area is fully developed, it will not be a problem for the whole country to use.

Zhu Xiongying continued: "Because of the severe cold, many refugees have flooded into the capital. Gu also thought about it. He can recruit these refugees to dig coal. They are suffering from hunger and cold and are on the verge of life and death. Letting them dig coal will not only solve the problem." For the manpower problem, we can also use work as relief to save them from freezing to death and starving to death."

All the ministers were overjoyed when they heard the words.

The problem of heating the common people, which was a headache for the ruling and opposition parties, was actually solved lightly by an anthracite coal from the emperor's grandson, and it also solved the problem of resettlement of refugees in the capital by the way.

But Qian Tang still has a question: "Your Highness, how much does this anthracite coal cost, and how much does it sell for a catty?"

Although anthracite is good, if the price is too expensive, it will discourage ordinary believers, and eventually become a thing that can only be used by dignitaries, and loses its original purpose.

Zhu Xiongying smiled and said: "Three coins, only three coins are needed, the court has already made a profit without losing money!"

five dollars?
The ministers were once again in an uproar.

You must know that in today's capital, charcoal has been sold for thirty or forty yuan a catty, but this anthracite only costs three yuan. This is simply the blessing of the people!

If it is true as the emperor's grandson said, then this small anthracite can save countless people.

"Minister, congratulations to His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun!"

A group of ministers who had been summoned by the emperor's grandson for a morning meeting knelt down in front of the gate of the Wenhua Palace at this moment, shouting for His Highness the emperor's grandson to be a thousand years old.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was not far away, also couldn't calm down for a long time, and murmured in a low voice: "It's really a blessing for the old Zhu family to have our grandson come back, and it's a blessing for our great Ming!"

At this moment, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were slightly moist.

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, conquered the Great Ming Dynasty. I don't know how many people envy him, but who knows, for him, Zhu Yuanzhang, is it not a heavy burden?

Meng Yuan left behind a dilapidated country, and he, Zhu Yuanzhang, wanted to clean her up.

How many nights he couldn't sleep, all he thought about was Jiangshan Sheji, and how many mornings he got up early, in order to remain this Jiangshan Sheji.

Just like a poem he wrote himself, I will get up before all the ministers get up, and I will not sleep when all the ministers are asleep.He is like a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River, who is still wearing a quilt when he is three feet high every day.

Sitting in the country, why doesn't he want to enjoy life and enjoyment?

But there are still so many poor people in this world, and Da Ming still has so many problems, so he can't rest assured for a day.

Especially in this long and harsh winter, every commoner who froze to death made his heart ache like a needle prick.

So he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest over the years.

But today, his eldest grandson, the emperor's grandson of Daming, helped him solve a problem that even he couldn't solve by himself, and carried this heavy burden for him.

This made him gratified, but also uncontrollably happy.

Daming's future will be led by a master stronger than himself, which makes him let go of a heart that he never dared to let go at this moment.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was full of emotions, Zhu Xiongying over there said with a smile: "All of this depends on the wise decision of the emperor's grandfather. If you want to congratulate, you must first congratulate the emperor's grandfather!"

Zhu Xiongying is not hypocritical, but without Zhu Yuanzhang's support, even if he has the heart to serve the country with fists and all kinds of ability, he can't be like what he is now. Just use simple words and actions to truly do something for Daming and this era. A good thing enough to benefit the people of the world.

"Your Majesty, congratulations to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

All the ministers bowed again and shouted long live three times.

"Everyone, please get up!"

Zhu Xiongying raised his hands, his young face was not smug, but more humble, and said: "I just happened to find anthracite coal by chance, but to implement it, I need the help of all the ministers and workers. The key points and details need to be carefully considered by the ministers and the local officials, so that the anthracite can really bring real benefits to the people of Ming Dynasty!"

"Minister, please obey!" All the ministers said in unison.

Not far away, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying in high spirits in front of the Wenhua Palace, satisfied in his heart, with a smile on his face...
