Chapter 74
Ying Zheng had already seen honeycomb coal last time, and also heard Fusu talk about the benefits of honeycomb coal.
Although natural coal blocks can be burned, there are always many inconveniences and are not suitable for daily use by people. In contrast, honeycomb coal is easy to ignite and burn thoroughly after burning for a long time. Not only does the small size of coal blocks require low transportation and storage, it is also convenient for promotion and sale in various places.
During this period, Fusu issued a document from Zhidi, asking the county magistrates from all over the country to find out the situation of the local coal mines and file the open-pit coal mines in various places according to the differences in the coal quality samples sent back. This time, they presented them to Ying Zheng with the mass-produced honeycomb coal finished products.
After reading it, Ying Zheng knew it and asked someone to fence a few open-pit coal mines with abundant reserves. In the future, if the coal mined in these coal mines does not have to be made into honeycomb coal, they will transform the existing smelting furnace for supervision and use to see if they can forge more sophisticated weapons.
However, in order to facilitate transportation and control of these mineral deposits, the road has to be built.
Ying Zheng pondered for a moment and asked Fusu to put the previous road construction plan on the agenda. Taking advantage of the fact that there are many prisoners now, let them build a few roads. Take your time and don’t worry.
Anyway, he can't live there and play anymore. When will he practice not?
Fusu nodded and wrote down Ying Zheng's arrangements. The road construction plan had been done long ago. The only difference is where the road was built first, whether it was built larger or smaller.
The most convenient thing is the Zhao State. The King of Zhao happened to ask Guo Kai to repair a straight road that runs through the entire territory a few years ago. Although Guo Kai made a lot of money, the people complained, the road was well built. Now, as long as the original straight road is extended in Handan County, you can directly lead to several mines.
Thinking of this, Fusu sighed a few words with Ying Zheng, saying that it was a pity that Guo Kai was gone, otherwise he could sum up his experience in road construction and let him use his remaining energy.
Ying Zheng said: "You have never been to Handan County, how do you know if the road is well built?"
Then Ying Zheng taught Fusu again, saying that seeing is true and hearing is false. If you don’t see it with your own eyes, don’t believe others’ words easily. If you are so easy to fool, you will be deceived. Anyway, Zhao Guoxiu’s path is definitely cut corners, and it is definitely not easy to walk, and it is definitely not as good as Qin Guoxiu.
Fusu sat upright and listened to Ying Zheng's lecture. After hearing it, he savored the true meaning: It turned out that his father was shameful to praise Zhao's roads for being well-built.
Fusu followed Ying Zheng with kindness and boasted about Haikou: "If we build roads, we will definitely build them big and well, and we will not be as good as the roads elsewhere."
Ying Zheng was very satisfied and nodded and said, "It should be done." Ying Zheng had already arranged the two cars of honeycomb coal that Fusu brought back, and asked Fusu to find Meng Tian to distribute them to the homes of all the ministers and ministers.
Fusu naturally and thoughtfully asked people to copy the instructions for each household and one copy: In the instructions, they first praised God for giving this new coal to the Qin Dynasty. The king thought it was very good when he used it, so he specially distributed it to all the meritorious officials. Then he simply wrote a few precautions, such as how to slightly transform the furnace, pay attention to ventilation and ventilation when using it, etc.
The familiar rewards and the familiar instructions were also familiar to all the family members of the ministers. That night, everyone respectfully tried the honeycomb coal given by Ying Zheng.
Not to mention, this one is much easier to burn than firewood and is convenient to use, even smaller than average-quality charcoal smoke.
Of course, it is still a bit worse than the refined charcoal used by powerful families, but who said it was given by their king?
Who dares to say something is not easy to use? Don’t think of being an official!
Alas, the risk of becoming an official is getting bigger and bigger now.
Although Ying Zheng decided to put the road construction on the agenda, it must be after spring plowing and this winter will still be passed.
Because of coal in hand, this winter, Shaofu Yamen built several more greenhouses in the suburbs of the city to serve vegetables to Xianyang. In the middle of winter, who can resist the temptation of fresh vegetables with water and green oil?
Not to mention anything else, it’s so tempting to skewer a handful of green and tender leeks on the fire and grill them.
There are also crispy white radish, cut into pieces and put them down to stew the meat. The radish is so fragrant that the meat is so fresh that it is so fragrant that it can’t walk!
Even if you don’t cook separately, mix a little into the meat filling and make dumplings or rouxyamos, the taste will be different!
This is just a way to eat it at home, and no one cares about it at all. But in the cold winter weather, it is a delicious food that can be used as a god!
So every day, as soon as the fresh vegetables in Dongshi were put on the shelves, the slaves who came out to queue up would snatch them up. If it weren't for the purchase of fresh vegetables, it would probably be a whole family that would have been fully fed. It was not the ordinary people's turn to grab them.
Recently, Tao Le was entrusted by Fusu with an important task to arrange the sale of fresh vegetables in the East City. He went out with a proud look every day, not only did he implement the purchase restrictions assigned by Fusu, but also focused on talking to a group of slaves from the families of the ministers: Although fresh vegetables are delicious, you have to leave some for others, right? If you want special treatment, you can order fresh vegetables for guests during the winter. You don’t need to queue up. You can order them with our greenhouse. As long as you can afford the money, you can provide enough fresh vegetables.
Of course, because the output of fresh vegetables in the greenhouse is limited, so if you want to order it quickly, the higher the price will be rewarded!
Tao Le worked hard and had some sweetness. In the first month of the year, he finally brought his sister from Handan County.
After this period of detention and observation, the group of King Zhao's harems has been divided into those who have never been favored, those who have no children, and those who have children and daughters will be sent to the place where the people of Zhao State palace and concubines are placed in batches. Those who should be released from marriage will be released from the future. Those who should be included in the harem will be included in the harem, those who should be used as official maids will be used as official maids, and each has its own place to go.
Although Sister Tao Le is the favorite concubine of King Zhao, she is young and has not yet given birth to children. She has not been found pregnant. Her place of visit is not that important to the court.
Since Fusu wanted to use Tao Le, he decided to release Tao Le's sister to reunite with her family. In the future, whether she wanted to stay for King Zhao or remarry.
As the end of the year approached, Zhang Liang returned to Xinzheng. Although his family members met Han for five generations, they were excluded when Han was destroyed, so they did not become prisoners, but were temporarily placed in place like ordinary people.
Perhaps because of Fusu's instructions, the new county magistrate treated the Zhang family quite favorably, and other families were more or less affected, and they seized some land or some slaves, but the Zhang family was safe and sound.
Many old friends have said something unpleasant in private, but when Qin took down Zhao, they will be less.
Many people realize that the unification of the Great Qin may be really unstoppable.
When Zhang Liang returned to Xinzheng, Ying Zheng didn't know it. Later, he heard Li Si mention it, saying that Zhang Liang went home, and he realized that something happened.
Ying Zheng observed Fusu quietly for a few days and found that this kid should do whatever he should do, without seeing Zhang Liang's frustration when he first left.
Ying Zheng didn't take it too seriously, so he just stayed at Fusu on the day of the birthday party and asked Fusu if he thought that if he didn't have Zhang Liang in Korea, he wouldn't run away.
Zhang Liang has read so many confidential things with Fusu during this period. If he dares to run away, his life will definitely be lost.
Fusu said seriously: "I treat my ovary with sincerity, and my ovary with sincerity will naturally treat me with sincerity, and it has nothing to do with the survival of South Korea."
If Zhang Liang really wanted to part ways with him, he would not have divided the "Taigong Art of War" with him. The things about feelings have always been in contact with each other. He believed in Zhang Liang, just as Zhang Liang believed in him.
Ying Zheng looked at Fusu with a bright look and his tone was very firm. He felt that Fusu was still young and his thoughts were naive. Even father and son could not treat each other with sincerity for the rest of his life, let alone that they were just teenagers.
But if a child is naive, he will be naive, it won’t be too hindered. He will understand if he suffers some losses in the future.
Ying Zheng said lightly: "It's good that you know it."
Fusu is really not in a hurry, and he is not worried that Zhang Liang will not go back.
Zhang Liang was not here, and Fusu was much quieter than usual when he was studying at night. Fortunately, there were still several bamboo bears growing up by his side.
Occasionally, when Fusu was watching and writing for too long, they would come over to bite his sleeves and say that they would lie on their stomachs to rest.
As they grow older, the little bamboo bears have grown a lot, and the black and white furs on their bodies have gradually become harder, but their belly is still very soft.
Fusu was afraid of crushing them, so he didn't agree, but he didn't read the book anymore, but stopped to play with them.
Before the first month of the year, the weather gradually warmed up. Last year, several children were born in the palace. Fusu gave gifts one by one, but found that none of them were named Hu Hai. He recalled who Hu Hai's mother was, but did not find this person among the pregnant concubines. He was a little confused for a moment: Could it be that Hu Hai was not born?
Other younger brothers and sisters who were born one after another are also quite unfamiliar to Fusu, and they feel that they are no longer in line with their previous lives.
This is actually understandable. After all, it is decided by Ying Zheng when he will be happy to conceive women in the harem. Since the time for the destruction of Zhao and Han countries has changed, the time and place of Ying Zheng’s concubines’ consorts cannot be exactly the same as in the previous life, and the birth conditions of many younger brothers and sisters cannot be exactly the same as in the previous life.
Hu Hai was not born as scheduled, which made Fusu feel that everything was completely different.
Before the spring plowing began, Fusu took advantage of the sunny weather to visit Yunyang County and watched the oxen competition with the people in the county.
There were five round black and white balls traveling together.
With Fusu present, they acted very well-behaved and were not afraid of being watched by many people along the way. When Fusu was doing serious business, they sat aside to perform the skill of gnawing bamboo to the people.
Some of them were brave enough to touch them, but when they saw their sharp teeth shining out, they all shrank their hands back.
He is worthy of being a young master. He can raise these cute but actually cruel bamboo bears so well-behaved!
The old acquaintance Zhang Qu was still selected to perform a farmland demonstration this year. When Fusu came, he showed his unique skills in plowing the fields to work harder.
After watching the county's farmland display, Fusu looked at the fat and strong oxen, and then he went to the academy for a walk and chatted with the students and the surrounding farmers to show his importance to this grassroots talent training base.
After wandering around like this for most of the day, the rare holiday was over. The five round and rolling balls were enough to release the wind, and they broke up enough fresh bamboos. They spontaneously climbed into the car and followed Fusu back to Xianyang. They were so smart that the onlookers were amazed.
Fusu brought a cart of balls back outside his new house. After getting off the car, he attracted many people to watch. They were all very curious about the bamboo bear who was rushing to come to the door to touch a few times.
Fusu did not rush into the door, but asked the people to look closer and for a while before he led the dumplings into the house. He didn't want to walk to his own yard. The dumplings who had just maintained a good business condition were furious and looked at the gate vigilantly, as if they were guarding against something.
Fusu walked over them curiously, and saw Zhang Liang coming back at some point, leaning under the corridor, lazily reading the book, looking at a leisurely posture of using Fusu's study as his own study.
Seeing Fusu, Zhang Liangcai put down the book in his hand and sat upright to greet him, and said with a smile: "I came back this morning and heard that you are going to Yunyang County."
Seeing that the dumplings were still holding up the warning, Fusu was a little amused and laughed: "It's just that the ovary is back. What are you doing?"
I have to say that Fusu has no feeling at all about the tide and undercurrents between his friends.
For example, he still thinks that Zhang Liang, Wang Li and Li Youting are good, but Li You don’t like to talk, so he seems less intimate.
For example, he always thought that Zhang Liang and the Tuanzi got along very well. At the beginning, the bite Zhang Liang was bitten was just a small misunderstanding. The Tuanzi was so alert that they opened their mouths and bitten them. Now the misunderstanding should have been resolved long ago. Zhang Liang and the Tuanzi got along day and night are already very good friends!
Unfortunately, the dumplings can't speak. If they can speak, they will definitely refute it-
God knows that Zhang Liang is not here during this period, and they celebrate in the yard every day, and they are almost happy to die!
The author has something to say:
Fu Xiaosu: Of course my friends and my friends are good friends!
Zhang Liang: Hoho
Li You: Hoho
Tuanzi: Hehe
