Chapter 1057 A Big Deal
Ye Xin's face froze, your old man still wants to come here to mix with us after the Chinese New Year?
Admiring this great god all day long, she felt that she had worked so hard, and she couldn't hide from it.She regretted it a bit, she should have promised Jiang Yifan to ask the imperial physician, maybe the imperial physician was lucky and could really diagnose the pregnancy.

At this time, not only the Emperor, Wang Qiao and other people from the machinery workshop were in the reception room of the machinery workshop, but Jin Rong and Jiang Yifan were also there.Jin Rong came to greet His Majesty the Emperor back to the palace, and to arrange vacations for the imperial court and various government offices.

Jiang Yifan finished his work with the Ministry of Industry and came to pick up his wife earlier.

Seeing Ye Xinyan's shocked and unexpected expression, the two couldn't help feeling amused.Even Zhang Cunhai, who was always serious about his words and smiles, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Your Majesty, that, this, my wife has a few words." Ye Xinyan said.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and looked at her.Usually when this girl speaks in such a tone, it means that she has some crooked ideas in her heart.

Ye Xinyan was made guilty by the emperor, but in order to invite this great god away, she still bit the bullet and continued: "Then what, my wife recommends a big business for you, I wonder if you are interested?"

"Is there such a thing?" The emperor was extremely surprised, "You have a big business and don't do it yourself, will you introduce it to me?" The suspicion in the tone made Ye Xinyan feel very worried.

Not only the emperor was surprised, but other people present were also surprised.

The business Ye Xinyan proposed was to take a share for herself, the kind of empty-handed white wolf.At this time, he was talking about recommending a big business to the emperor, but he didn't say that he would share a share.

Very abnormal rush.

Ye Xinyan was a little ashamed looking at those suspicious eyes.What's wrong?Can't she recommend a profitable business to others?
Especially since this person is the emperor, she just wants to take advantage of her, but she doesn't have the courage.

"Your Majesty, you must trust your wife, it's really a big deal." Ye Xinyan said sincerely.

Jiang Yifan's heart ached, this was a sign of a fool.Daughter-in-law, you are really brave, you dare to fool anyone.

The emperor nodded noncommittally, "Speak."

"That's right." Ye Xinyan pulled herself together, trying to fool the emperor away in its entirety, and return their mechanical workshop to a clear/free sky.

Jin Rong and the others also corrected their expressions and listened attentively.

"I feel that mining coal mines is a big business to make money. Your Majesty, you can send someone to apply for a mine, and you can even apply to the imperial court to build a special line for transporting coal and send the coal to various places for sale. Then you develop it Several stoves and utensils that use coal will surely make a lot of money.”

"What kind of big business is this?" The emperor was puzzled, "Coal is just a thing that can burn fire. I asked people who understand coal, and the soot of raw coal is very large, and the coke after refining is not easy to ignite. Things are far less useful than firewood and charcoal. I warn you, don't let me do a loss-making business just to drive me away."

"No, how could it be?" Ye Xinyan felt guilty, "Your Majesty, coal is not just a thing that can be used to burn fire, it is a kind of material. In a sense, its function is even more important than iron ore. Huge, developed, absolutely a huge profit.”

"Will it?" More than iron ore?

The emperor was not alone in asking questions.

"Of course, your Majesty, you think that although the soot of coal is large, the heat emitted by the same amount of coal is many times greater than that of firewood. The reason why coal has not been widely recognized is because it has not yet been developed. Large-scale mining, and..."

Before the advent of oil, the role of coal was great.Even after the emergence of petroleum, coal still has an irreplaceable position in industry and civilian use.

With a brilliant tongue, Ye Xin analyzed the great significance of coal for industrial society and civilian use, completely brainwashing the emperor.

The emperor was full of suspicion and said: "According to what you said, there are many places where coal can be used. Where can there be so much coal for such a large amount of supply?"

Ye Xinyan continued to agitate, but did not reveal her feelings, "My wife thinks that coal is the same as copper ore and iron ore, which are inexhaustible and inexhaustible (she is ashamed for fooling herself). You Think about it, thousands of years from ancient times to the present, all dynasties have collected iron ore, but today's minerals are still rich in reserves? Where can they be mined?"

The emperor seemed to agree with Ye Xinyan's explanation, but he still frowned and looked anxiously at Ye Xinyan.

Jin Rong interjected: "The place where the coal mine was discovered before, now there are various large and small merchants who have registered with the Yamen and applied for mining coal. What is your majesty's identity? How can you compete with the people for profit?" This is a good way of saying, but not good To put it simply, it is: It is really embarrassing for a big man like the emperor to compete with so many small people for picking up stones.

Ye Xinyan had an expression of hating iron and steel, "How big is our majesty, how can we fight like them? Naturally, we will not argue with him. How many iron mines are there in the world? Coal mines should be like that It exists. Let’s find another one.”

Oh... this time, everyone understood.

"Prospecting?" Jin Rong asked.The imperial court has an exclusive agency for finding mineral veins, but the efficiency is not high.

Ye Xinyan showed an expression like a magic stick: "Maybe this thing also pays attention to mineral veins. We can follow the original coal mine all the way to the west. Jinzhou has a vast area, and there may be coal mines. Your Majesty sent someone to Jinzhou If you look around, it is very likely that you will find a new coal mine.”

On the side of modern Shanxi is the earliest large coal mine.According to the division of this place, it should be the Jinzhou area.

Ye Xinyan continued to encourage: "We can't dig mines like small businesses and small households. We need to look at the conditions of the coal mines first. We can develop some professional equipment, lay special tracks for coal mines, and set up elevators. It's okay... Anyway , we must have the atmosphere of the celestial dynasty."

The emperor was successfully fooled by Ye Xinyan, and he was full of ambition when he left the machinery workshop.

When Jiang Yifan took Ye Xinyan home, the couple were sitting in the carriage. He was very impressed by how Ye Xinyan taught his students in the era when he grew up, bold, careful, and well-informed.
