Chapter seven hundred and eighty sixth

The next morning.

Daming Palace, Hall of Health.

In the East Nuan Pavilion, Emperor Long'an looked at Li Shi, the Prince of Kerong who was kneeling in the middle, and said in a deep voice: "Li Shi, who asked you to ask Jia Qiang for prescriptions?"

Li Shi was shocked when he heard this, looked at the faces of the other military aircraft, and then smiled and said, "Father, my son-in-law did not go to find Jia Qiang to ask for prescriptions. He just explored the words of his fifth brother... Even so, my son-in-law was taught by his mother."

Emperor Long'an said lightly: "Ah? How did your mother teach you?"

Li Shi said: "My mother told her son that after picking Jia Qiang out of the Interior Ministry Money House, he was not allowed to do anything bad, and the Interior Ministry Money House did not have to look for him anymore. It was Lin Xiang who made an appointment with the military ministers in front of the imperial court. After turning the world over, the son minister had the idea of ​​Jia Qiang's prescription, which was really unwise. In fact, the son minister thought that since Jia Qiang and his fifth brother could not use the prescription in the West Mountain, they could not use that prescription, so they simply used the prescription for mining coal for the Interior Ministry, which could also benefit the people in the capital...

However, the mother taught that the world is the world of the father and the world of the people, not Jia Qiang, and there is no reason to make others generous. Jia Qiang has done enough for the court. The son suddenly realized that the father and the mother did not regard Jia Qiang as a different surname, and loved him as a flesh and blood. The son and the son also regarded him as brothers and sisters, so they were confused and came up with such an idea. Now that he has known his mistake, I ask my father and all the military forces to blame him."

Without waiting for Emperor Long'an, whose face was soothing, Zhang Gu smiled and said, "It's great that you can correct your mistakes."

Li Han also nodded and said, "The empress is virtuous and the prince also regards national affairs as the priority, which is a blessing for the court."

The censor Han Cong frowned and asked, "Does the prince recognize Xin Zhi, the doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Li Shi was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said, "It is Xiao Wang's new official, Xin Zhi was born into the imperial merchant clan and is quite familiar with money house affairs."

Han Cong said in a deep voice: "Xin Zhi met with someone at Fengle Tower last night, saying that the money house of the Internal Affairs Office will surely succeed, because the prince will first obtain coal prescriptions from Ninghou Jia Qiang, then obtain ice prescriptions, and Yunjin secret recipes. With these three great recipes, the Internal Affairs Office can make money every day and no longer worry about lacking silver. Can the prince know this?"

Li Shi shook his head decisively and said, "This must be said after drinking. Xiao Wang will never have this thought. Because the father, the queen and the military ministers will not agree. The Tian family will not do it for the matter of taking the people's wealth and competing for profit with the people, and Xiao Wang will never do it."

Han Cong's face was relieved for a moment, and nodded and said, "It can be seen that the prince has a clear understanding of this. But after all, it is because he first came up with the idea of ​​coal prescriptions, and the superiors are more fond of their interests and the subordinates will be effective. In the future, the prince must be careful in his words and actions."

Li Shi bowed and said, "Xiao Wang must remember it in my heart."

When Han Cong saw it, he nodded.

Emperor Long'an's eyes fell on Lin Ruhai who had not spoken, and asked in a warm voice: "What do you think?"

Lin Ruhai said slowly: "Coal is different from Yunjin, ice making, etc. Yunjin, ice making has nothing to do with ordinary people, and it is something that rich families can only benefit from. However, coal is a thing that ordinary people need. I remember that when I left Beijing fifteen years ago, one piece of coal was about three pounds and it was sold for three cents. Today, a piece of coal is still three cents, but only about one pound. In the cold weather, the people cannot burn carbon fires to keep warm, and there are many people who die every year.

Jia Qiang is good at figuring out such tricks and finds ways to make bee coal with coal powder, wood chips, yellow mud, etc. The two bee coals are only three cents, but they can support one and a half hours of heating, and their firepower is far greater than finding coal.

I think this method does not need to be used to make money, so I advised him to publish these good methods to the world and benefit the people.

It is related to people's livelihood, and you cannot just recognize the word "money". After all, he is Shixun of the Dayan, not a merchant, and Jia Qiang also thinks so.

In fact, the gold and silver he obtained were very little used for himself…”

Han Bin immediately asked, "Ruhai, are you talking about coal powder, not coal blocks?"

People from the south who came from the hall or those who had not been close officials in the north may not know it, but Han Bin had been in the bitter and cold places in the north for more than ten years, how could he not know the difference between coal blocks and coal powder?

Later generations will specially crush coal into coal powder and use a blower to burn it to improve combustion efficiency.

However, in this world, coal powder is almost useless.

It is impossible for people to prepare a windmill at home to push and pull it all the time. If they just pile the coal powder in the furnace, it is still secondary to the difficulty of burning, and it is easy to get coal soot.

Therefore, the price of coal blocks is expensive, but the coal powder is very low and no one cares about it.

There is a huge coal-moon mountain near Fengxian County, which the people can't help but adopt. However, no one went far away to carry a few baskets back. It would be better to fetch some firewood...

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "The recipe that Jia Qiang has obtained recently is indeed mainly coal powder. The fire burned out is vigorous and there is no worry about coal smoke. Let Jia Qiang send some to Yuan Fu's house. Yuan Fu can try it out for himself to see how it works."

Han Bin was overjoyed, and Emperor Long'an also smiled and said, "Don't send it to Han Qing's house, so let him deliver it to the palace tomorrow. If this is really effective, I will remember his merit!"

Han Cong also smiled and said, "It is rare to benefit the world by pulling a hair," said Mr. Ning.

Han Bin looked at the minister of the same surname and said strangely: "Tingyi actually likes Jia Qiang? I haven't heard you praise any young man for so many years."

Han Cong shook his head and said, "Ning Hou is indeed different, very different."

Li Han smiled and said, "The Censor likes Jia Qiang? He forced him to hand over the money house in the Internal Affairs Office here the day before yesterday, which shows that this love is also superficial."

Han Cong said seriously: "The advice that day was a state affairs, and today's praise was also a state affairs, which is no different. Ning Hou had complaints, and I was willing to accept it."

"Hey!"

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said, "Young people should learn more lessons and temper them before they can grow up. If they complain about this, they will be superficial people who cannot be created. Is this reasonable?"

Zuo Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, since Lin Xiang, who is a gentleman, has said that, I will sharpen Jia Qiang in the future!"

Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "It will be of great benefit to have such a talent to fight him."

Zuo Xiang waved his hands repeatedly when he heard this, "It's impossible to fight. I'm afraid that the tens of thousands of urban women under his command will curse the streets."

As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers immediately laughed.

Even Emperor Long'an laughed, but his eyes condensed on Li Shi's increasingly uncomfortable face.

How could there be a stubborn smirk in the Palace of Yangxin?

If Li Shi couldn't hear these military grandsons trying hard to enlighten him, then he would be just a little clever and embarrassed...

Let's take a look...

...

Buzhengfang, Linfu.

Jia Qiang, who had been busy in the military and military yamen for a whole day, came to the Lin family in the evening.

First, Lin Ruhai sent someone to send a letter, second, today is the day for Yin Ziyu and Aunt Mei to follow up the interview. After the matter, he would also send Yin Ziyu home.

In Zhonglin Hall, when Jia Qiang came, Daiyu was also there.

Yin Ziyu took an hour to use needles, so he should not bother him. Daiyu was idle and knew that Jia Qiang was coming, so she stayed here.

After Jia Qiang came in to greet Lin Ruhai, she smiled at Daiyu again, and Daiyu retwrinkled with a "sniff"...

In terms of being cramped, Daiyu, the twelve golden hairpins, is the only interesting thing.

After laughing, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang's expression and asked, "Is the Bingma Si okay?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It's all done. But I heard that some people want to take all the proceeds from the East City to the Ministry of Revenue, and Shuntian Prefecture and the Infantry Commander's Office also want to get a share of the pie."

Lin Ruhai waved his hand and said, "I rejected this proposal, you don't have to care. Sometimes this is true in the officialdom. If you take a step back, someone will hope that you will take two steps and force you to retreat without any retreat. Therefore, many people in the officialdom will be inclined to power and do not want to retreat at all."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "The big tree attracts wind, and you make too much money, which makes people jealous."

Daiyu pouted, not opening her mouth.

Lin Ruhai said again: "Today, the emperor asked Prince Kerong about the fifth prince asking for coal prescriptions. The queen had already scolded him yesterday. Today, Prince Kerong also guaranteed in the Yangxin Palace that he would never have the intention to seize the people's wealth."

Jia Qiang raised his eyebrows and smiled and said, "There is something like this? If you really succeed in the coal prescription and the money shop will not go well in the future, will you still have to worry about Yunjin prescription and ice-making prescription?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "The Censor Han Cong reported that Xin Zhi, the new doctor of the Internal Affairs Office of the King of Kerong, mentioned this matter in Fengle Tower. The money house of the Internal Affairs Office must first obtain coal prescriptions, and then obtain the prescriptions for making ice. With these three good recipes, the Official Affairs Office must make money every day and no longer worry about lacking silver. However, the King of Kerong did not admit that there was any such incident."

Jia Qiang said "tsk" and said with a smile: "Li Shi naturally won't admit it now, and it may not be possible. But one day he will take office and he doesn't need to speak. There are countless eagle claws and dog teeth that will do this for him."

Maybe there is no law of nature, but this is the true meaning of feudal society.

Lin Ruhai nodded and said, "So, I will publish the recipe of bee coal on your behalf, so that the people of the world can benefit everyone."

Before Jia Qiang could say anything, Daiyu's pretty face turned red with anger and said, "Dad, why did you let him be bullied? How could this be the reason? Even his daughter knows that he will not compete with the people for profit. Do all the officials of the court understand? And the initiator has no descendants? Today I am thinking about Brother Qiang's family business, and tomorrow I may have to think about whose family business. How can this be the reason in the world?"

Lin Ruhai smiled, looked at Jia Qiang and asked, "What do you think?"

Jia Qiang stretched and smiled and said, "It's okay to pull out a hair to benefit the world. For me, these things are just small profits. If I can exchange them for time and space for development, it is actually profitable. Furthermore, as Mr. said, coal is related to people's livelihood. It is not something I can do to publish to the public, but it is not something that Li Shi uses to make profits. I am willing to do it."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said, "I have already realized that the world is great, but I still pity the green grass and trees. If you can always keep your heart, you will feel at ease as a teacher. Knowing how to take a step back is more rare than moving forward with one force!"

Jia Qiang was very happy when he heard this, looked at Daiyu and smiled and said, "Don't worry, sir, I have never forgotten my true heart."

This is what Daiyu told Jia Qiang last night. Today he was officially certified by Lin Ruhai, so he was naturally happy.

Daiyu was still very angry, but seeing that Lin Ruhai and Jia Qiang recognized each other, she didn't say much, and just said annoyed: "Ignore you!"

He stood up and left Zhonglin Hall and returned to the inner house.

After Daiyu left, Jia Qiang lowered his smile and looked at Lin Ruhai and said, "Sir, Li Shi, you must not take the post."

Lin Ruhai also looked solemn and said softly: "Don't worry, those who are virtuous and do not match their position will not be able to reach the great treasure. Qiang'er, don't be anxious. At this time, the monk can still be faked, and the palace will always take care of him. When the money and house affairs of the Internal Affairs Office cannot be done, they will have their own turmoil. You must have enough patience and wisdom. This matter should not be reckless. The two cases of the Second Prince and the Third Prince have attracted suspicion from those who are interested. Whoever does it recklessly at this time will inevitably make the palace angry. Don't hit the knife, remember, remember!"

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir, I understand."

Lin Ruhai nodded after hearing this, and smiled again, "This matter is a loss, but it actually wiped out all the previous limelight. It was already at the point where the merits were difficult to reward, but now it can be stabilized. You must be open-minded. That's what the king, king, minister, minister, and minister. In fact, you are still fine. There is an empress in the palace who speaks for you. Otherwise, look at the Duke of Zhao's mansion and you will know how hard it is to be cold when you reach this position. The heroes in history are not very easy."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "So my disciples have been looking for a way to retreat."

Lin Ruhai nodded, but was unwilling to mention this matter more and said, "Go to the back and take a look. Thank you for the princess of the Yin family for me. If you go to the Yin family, his family will have many things to tell you. The Grandma of the Yin family is an amazing person."

"yes."
