Heaven's Martial Fate

Chapter 751 Jia Min Returns to Rong Mansion

"This is the briquette and briquette stove that have swept the entire capital recently?"

In a small kitchen somewhere in the official station, Lin Ruhai looked at the portable briquette stove in front of him and the briquette piled aside, his eyes were full of curiosity.

Senior officials of Lin Ruhai's level can live in a small courtyard in the official post.

Even if there is no small courtyard, there is a separate kitchenette.

"Exactly, it's quite convenient to use!"

The old butler Lin operated it himself, and while still not forgetting to explain, he finally said: "This thing is very convenient to use, and the whole capital is very fashionable right now!"

"I heard that it is used in the palace!"

"Which business firm has such great energy that it can actually get this thing into the palace?"

Lin Ruhai was a little surprised. He knew that there were many capable people in the capital, but he didn't know who was the capable person who made the current thing happen?

"My lord was joking, it was made by the Ministry of Internal Affairs' own workshop!"

Old housekeeper Lin praised: "In order to make more briquette stoves and briquettes, almost all the refugees and beggars in the city, as well as many refugees outside the city, have been pulled to work. This year will be a good year!"

"what?"

Lin Ruhai was surprised and said: "You mean, the refugees and beggars in the city are all hired to work by the workshop of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

For some reason, my heart suddenly relaxed, and I felt a slight sense of lightness.

"Of course!"

Old housekeeper Lin pointed to the two briquette stoves in the small kitchen, and explained: "A stove like this, if you save it, you need at least four briquettes for a day!"

"I heard that the workshops of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sold at least [-] briquette stoves, and at least [-] briquettes were consumed that day!"

"Eighty thousand honeycomb briquettes, it takes a lot of manpower to make them!"

"According to the rumors on the market, the coal dug out of the coal mine needs to be completely crushed by manpower!"

"Crushed coal, mixed part of the yellow mud, and then used a coal machine to make briquettes. Which one does not require a lot of manpower?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and said with a smile: "This time, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has done a good job!"

"really!"

Old housekeeper Lin smiled and said, "Although the wages are not high, as long as you work hard, you can easily spend this winter!"

"Such a good business, why haven't other forces participated?"

"How to join?"

Old Butler Lin shook his head and said, "Most of the coal mines in the entire capital are in the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs!"

"If there is no coal mine to dig out enough coal, there is no way to make a sufficient amount of briquette. To put it bluntly, this business still wins by quantity!"

Lin Ruhai's mind flashed and thundered, and he realized in an instant that the matter in Jin Province was sorted out by him in an instant.

No wonder those nobles took over all the large and medium-sized coal mines in Jin Province, it turned out to be the case.

"Could it be that Xungui didn't do anything?"

Turning thoughts in his mind, Lin Ruhai subconsciously asked, "For example, are you starting to make briquette stoves?"

"Nope!"

Old Steward Lin shook his head and said, "On the contrary, it's those powerful civil servants who wanted to join in with great fanfare, but in the end they were pushed down!"

After hearing this, what else does Lin Ruhai not understand?
Obviously, the Xungui Group joined hands to control Jin Province, a large coal province.

Maybe they made the move to clean up Jin Province in private.

Otherwise, how could most of the coal mines in Jin Province fall into the hands of the Xungui Group?
Of course, the Ministry of Internal Affairs first came up with the briquette stove and briquette, and it should have reached a tacit agreement with the Xungui Group.

"My lord, this briquette is a good thing. It is much cheaper than burning charcoal, and there is no smoke!"

"The price on the market is also cheap, you can buy two for a penny!"

"With this device, hot water and hot meals can be prepared in the small kitchen at any time in the future, without the trouble of lighting a fire and burning wood!"

Old Butler Lin smiled and opened his mouth, not aware of the abnormality in Lin Ruhai's expression.

"Of course, whether it's a briquette stove or a briquette coal, it's a good business, but it's a pity we don't have a coal mine!"

"Actually, according to me, if this industry develops, it will definitely be a good thing, and it will give the poor people a way to make money!"

When Lin Ruhai and old butler Lin were studying at the official station to study the briquette stoves and briquettes that have become popular in the capital recently, the experience Jia Min and his sons and daughters had in Rongfu was not very pleasant.

Not long after Lin Ruhai left the official post in the morning, Jia Min rushed to Ningrong Street in several carriages with a pair of children and gifts for her natal family.

When he got there, looking at the familiar street scene, Jia Min felt quite uneasy.

I haven't seen my family for more than ten years, and at this time, I feel so close to my hometown.

Ningrong Street seems to be more prosperous, but not as noisy as the commercial street.

How did she know that the Ning Mansion had designated a block on Ningrong Street as a centralized place for traders to stay, and the Ning Mansion would provide security and order maintenance.

Slowly, that area formed a bustling street market.

However, this street market is dedicated to serving the Ningrong Second Mansion, so it is naturally different from the noisy commercial street.

On the street, from time to time, the sons of the Ning family, who are strong and strong, patrolled back and forth.

This is also one of the Ning Mansion's measures, no matter how it acts like this, it will give Ningrong Street a better security environment.

Seeing Jia Min and his group of vehicles, he didn't step forward to check, but just took a look from a distance.

When the convoy arrived outside the gate of Rongfu, the gatekeeper of Rongfu came forward to inquire.

In our room, more than a dozen doormen were well-dressed, and they were all very high-spirited. Those who didn't know thought they were old landlords from somewhere.

The convoy stopped, and the steward who accompanied him handed over the greeting card.

The disciples of the Rong Mansion saw that it was the aunt who had been married for many years and returned to her mother's house. Naturally, they did not dare to neglect and immediately reported to the backyard.

Soon, the entire Rong Mansion was boiling.

The first person to go out to greet him was Lai Da, the housekeeper.

Jia Min talked to him through the car curtain, and gradually regained his composure.

After a while, the side door of the Rong Mansion opened wide, and a group of ladies and servants greeted them, surrounded by Jia Min and his party.

"Mother, is this my grandmother's house?"

In the carriage where Jia Min was riding, Lin Daiyu, who was over five years old, sat beside her and carefully looked at the scene outside, and couldn't help asking curiously.

"Yes, this is your grandmother's house!"

Jia Min held her two-year-old son in one hand, and gently stroked Lin Daiyu's head with the other: "When I see my grandmother, I must be polite!"

Lin Daiyu nodded repeatedly, and said with a smile: "Mother, my grandmother's mansion is so big, I haven't reached the second gate after walking for so long!"

Jia Min smiled lightly, and said leisurely: "This is the residence of the Duke of the State, and the regulations are much larger than those of Yangzhou Xunyan Yushi Yamen..."
