Chapter 192 Being a Salesman
Chapter 192 Becoming a Salesman
In the Dongnuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Chongzhen is discussing with several elders about tax collection this year.
There are two charcoal pots placed one behind the other in the warm cabinet, which makes the room feel a bit stuffy. The cabinet members, such as Zheng Sanjun and Ni Yuanlu, are elderly, coughing from time to time due to the smell of charcoal fire.
"It's on fire!" Someone outside Qianqing Palace shouted.
"Who is making noise outside?" Chongzhen frowned, Qianqing Palace is an imperial city farming, how could it catch fire in broad daylight.
"Going back to Lord Long Live, there is no fire. He is a newcomer from the Huang family who has never seen the world. The old slave has already ordered someone to deal with him." Wang Chengen hurriedly explained.
"Then what is the reason for this? How can I hear the noise outside?" Chief Assistant Zheng Sanjun said.
"Back to Mr. Zheng Ge, it's Lord Anguo, he got a batch of coal balls from somewhere, and said it was a gift for Lord Long Live..."
Wang Chengen smiled wryly, he knew the temper of this Marquis of An Guo, in his words, this fellow is an unusual one among officials and a strange one among nobles.
He never spits out ivory, and never plays cards according to common sense.
"Oh? For me?" Chongzhen was troubled by the tax collection, and when he heard that his blessing would give him a gift, he even frowned for a moment.
"My loves, you have stayed in the Nuan Pavilion for a long time, why don't you go out to get some air, just to see what this Shuzi is doing?" After Chongzhen finished speaking, he got up first, followed by several elders of the cabinet.
"Blow! Blow hard! It's almost time!" In the open space outside Qianqing Palace, Liu Hongjian squatted on the ground wearing a fur coat, holding a fire stick in his hand, pointing to several small yellow gates.
The bottoms of the two briquettes stoves were stuffed with charcoal fire, and thick smoke was coming out of them, which smoked several small yellow doors with snot and tears.
"Marquis An Guo, what are you doing?" This guy is too annoying, how dare he mess around in my Qianqing Palace, how decent is he?
"Your Majesty, I'm lighting a fire!" Liu Hongjian held a fire stick in his hand and saluted Chongzhen symbolically.
"Look, Your Majesty, this is the briquette stove that I have painstakingly developed. With this product, the Emperor and all the ministers will no longer have to suffer from being surrounded by charcoal fire!" Liu Hongjian said, pointing to the briquettes on the ground.
Before Chongzhen could reply, Fan Jingwen, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, stepped forward, pinched a piece from the briquettes, put it to his nose and smelled it.
"Your Majesty, this is coal!" Fan Jingwen is in charge of the Ministry of Industry and knows a lot about these minerals, but can coal be used in this way?
After hearing what Fan Jingwen said, several other ministers including Chongzhen hurriedly covered their noses, and Wang Chengen also hurriedly took a brocade handkerchief and handed it to Chongzhen.
Although coal stones were roughly used in the Ming Dynasty, due to the large amount of toxic smoke generated when coal stones were burned, only some smelting workshops used them in order to reduce costs.
It is precisely because of this disadvantage that coal has not been widely excavated, and the courtiers even sneered at this dark thing.
"That's right, Your Majesty, this is the coal that I transported thousands of miles from Shanxi, it's not ordinary coal, it's anthracite!
Colleagues don't need to cover your mouth and nose, don't you think I'm all right?And these little brothers! "Liu Hongjian laughed and said, but the faces of the little yellow gates who were lighting the fire were all darkened.
"Your Majesty, look, the briquettes are on fire, and there is no black smoke coming out!" After the briquettes were ignited, Liu Hongjian ordered Xiao Huangmen to take out the charcoal from below.
Chongzhen covered his mouth and nose and took two steps forward, walked to the side of the briquettes stove to have a look.
"This is your gift to me?" Chongzhen was speechless.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk.
You two bring these two stoves over to me, be careful not to burn them! "Liu Hongjian followed Chongzhen back to the Nuan Pavilion.
"That's right, one for the window and one for the other! Where's the pipe? Bring it here!"
Liu Hongjian was directing and doing it himself. After half a quarter of an hour's work, he finally installed the two ceramic pipes into the sockets left on the sides of the two coal pellet stoves, and the other end was directly cut out on the window paper of the warm pavilion. two holes.
After poking the pipe outside, Wang Chengen felt distressed for a while, it was all good window paper!
Chongzhen didn't say anything, and the senior officials in the cabinet didn't know whether they should speak out to reprimand him. In their opinion, this An Guohou is too shameful today.
"You're done! You two can go down now.
Oh, by the way, remove these two charcoal basins! Liu Hongjian washed and wiped the handles in the basin handed over by Xiao Huangmen.
"Does the emperor feel warm?" Liu Hongjian tossed for a while, but his heart was quite warm.
"Hmph, Zhuzi, have you been messing around with this for the past few days?" Chongzhen asked Liu Hongjian instead of answering.
He had high hopes for this kid in front of him, and even handed over the Beijing camp, which was related to the safety of the capital, to him. What happened?
This guy has gone so far as to not do his job properly!Although it is true that the room is much warmer than before, it is unreasonable!
"Your Majesty, this old minister feels that this warm pavilion is indeed much warmer than before! Moreover, this old minister has been suffering from cough and asthma for many years. He is very sensitive to the smell of charcoal fire. Now that the brazier has been removed, this old minister obviously doesn't feel like coughing much!"
Zheng Sanjun is a real person, he really thinks that the stove in front of him may be a good thing.
"Even so, it's still nonsense! Look at you, as an honorable member of the imperial court, a first-rank official, wearing clothes that are neither human nor ghost, what do you look like!"
Chongzhen angrily took off Liu Hongjian's big fox fur sable hat.
"Hehe, the emperor is jealous. This is made by my beloved wife for me. It is much warmer than those brocade clothes and satins!" Knowing that Chongzhen was not really angry, Liu Hongjian took the hat from Chongzhen and put it on the side of the table. .
"Master Hou, you really developed this thing?" Maybe Zheng Sanjun just thinks it's a good thing, but Fan Jingwen, who is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is much more knowledgeable than Zheng Sanjun.
This thing is not only extremely powerful, but also does not produce thick smoke. Sitting next to this stove, how can you feel the slightest chill? He feels that once this thing is known to the nobles in the capital, it will definitely become a bestseller.
"That's right, Master Fan, this stove can not only warm the fire, but also put a teapot on it, so you can drink some hot tea when it's all right, and of course you can also cook.
Moreover, coal is more resistant to burning than charcoal fire, which saves the trouble of always replacing it.
Ben Hou racked his brains and lost a lot of hair before developing this thing together with his artisans.
The capital is cold, and the palace is not warm. The emperor takes care of everything and works hard for our Ming Dynasty, so I sent it to the emperor as soon as I made it, because I was afraid that the emperor would freeze! "
Liu Hongjian spoke half-truths and half-false words, feeling aggrieved by the emperor's ignorant words.
"Slick tongue!" Although Chongzhen said so, his heart was really warm, he was tired, and the courtiers knew he was tired.
But only this Zhuzi in front of him not only knew that he was tired, but also brought him a stove.
"What kind of ordnance institute of yours developed this?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, those young craftsmen are very capable!" Liu Hongjian said from the bottom of his heart, the craftsmen in the Ordnance Institute were really exhausted these days.
"Wang's companion."
"The old slave is here!" Wang Chengen didn't know what Long Live Lord was going to do, but this was already his subconscious action.
"Reward! The craftsman who developed this stove will be rewarded with 300 taels of silver, and each of the craftsmen in the Ordnance Institute will be given a set of cotton clothes!"
Thank you book friends for the 500 coins I went to move the train station to, and thank you book friends for the 100 coins rewarded by lighting up the lights and looking at the ax while drunk, and the rabbit’s dog. It’s the weekend, I hope everyone has a good time!
