Chapter 266 Fire Insurance Daxing

After the heavy snowfall, winter has come, and soon it will be the winter solstice of Shao Sheng's first year.

The holidays of the Song Dynasty were very loose. On the day of the winter solstice, the Manchu Dynasty rested for seven days.

It is said that during the Renzong period, Bao Zheng proposed to change the important holiday to five days, which was strongly opposed by the officials. After Song Shenzong succeeded to the throne, he changed the important holiday to seven days.

Zhao Xu's enthroned year name is Shao Sheng, so he naturally respects the rules of Shenzong, and various festivals are still set to seven days.

"Thank you Shenzong!"

Fan Zheng thanked him from the bottom of his heart,

The Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival are also seven days off. The Song Dynasty has a total of 76 days of statutory holidays. Being an official in the Song Dynasty can be said to be the happiest time. This is one of the reasons why Fan Zheng admires the Song Dynasty the most.

"The fire insurance suggested by the doctor is very good!"

During the winter solstice, when the Fan family was reunited, Fan Chunli praised Fan Zheng in a rare way.

Fan Zheng was immediately flattered.

You must know that although Fan Zheng has gained such a great reputation, Fan Chunli still speaks of rebellious sons all the time, and now he is openly praising Fan Zheng quite by surprise.

Fan Chunli is not just boasting about selling melons. Kaifeng city is densely populated, houses are densely packed, and there are a lot of wooden houses. Every winter, there are frequent fires. This has caused headaches for the prefects of Kaifeng.

If a large-scale fire occurs and countless people are displaced, Kaifeng City will also be responsible for resettling these affected people.

Now that there is fire insurance, it can be said that the burden on Kaifeng Prefecture has been greatly reduced.

Fan Zheng smiled wryly and said: "Father is relieved, but in Kaifeng City, there are still quite a few Kaifeng people who have not taken out fire insurance, and there are even fraudulent insurance behaviors. Today, doctors are still in a state of loss."

Physicians have just introduced insurance and lack of experience. In addition, fires have continued recently. This has only just been implemented, causing a lot of confusion. What's more, some people buy insurance first, and then deliberately start fires in order to seek compensation.

"Then what should we do?" Mashi asked worriedly.

"Fire insurance benefits the country and the people, so don't give up easily." Fan Chunli persuaded that once the fire insurance came out, the responsibility of the government would be greatly reduced, and Fan Chunli naturally did not want the fire insurance to be abandoned halfway.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "My child understands that if the fire insurance is to run smoothly, I am afraid that it cannot do without the assistance of Kaifeng Mansion. I also ask my father to help my child."

Fan Chunli frowned and said, "If you want to force Kaifeng residents to buy fire insurance for your father, this is impossible."

With the lessons learned by the New Party, even if Fan Chunli agrees with Fan Zheng's fire insurance policy, he probably will not force Kaifeng residents to buy fire insurance.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "Of course not! The fire insurance is for houses in Kaifeng City. The child needs Kaifeng City household registration and house deed information, in case someone deliberately conceals the report."

Fan Chunli nodded in agreement, fire insurance has many benefits for Kaifeng City, and Kaifeng Mansion will definitely support it.

"There is another situation, that is, someone deliberately set fire to defraud insurance!" Fan Zheng frowned again.

Li Qingzhao on the side suddenly suggested: "My husband, when signing the insurance, it is best not to insure all the value of the value. It is best to only insure [-]% of the value of the value. It is best to set fire intentionally. It is not worth the loss. It will definitely greatly reduce insurance fraud. Behavior."

"What the lady said is true. In addition, as a husband, you also need the cooperation of Kaifeng City's fire diving team to be responsible for the failure of Kaifeng City's firefighting and to determine the cause of the fire." Fan Zheng said again.

Kaifeng City is densely populated with residential houses and shops, and fire is a serious problem. In order to prevent and extinguish fires, the Song Dynasty established the world's earliest professional fire-fighting organization-the "submerged fire team".

The diving team has professionally trained professionals. Every city has a tallest fire watchtower. There are people watching on the upper floor. If a fire is found, the cavalry will report it immediately.

The diving team will have professional diving soldiers with professional fire extinguishing equipment to extinguish the fire.In order to prevent other residential buildings from being affected, of course this is also the impact of the "Rongwang Palace Fire" that year.

"Scuba Fire Team!" Fan Chunli frowned.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "In the future, the compensation for fire insurance will be based on the judgment of the submerged fire team to show fairness!"

"Yes!" Fan Chunli waved his hand.

"No matter how good your father and son's discussion is, I am afraid that the government and the public will spread the news that Kaifeng Mansion is in charge of Fan Yanei." Seeing this, Ma said helplessly.

Fan Chunli snorted suddenly and said, "This old man has a clear conscience! It's just that a group of tiger fathers and sons are jealous."

Mrs. Ma gave Fan Chunli a blank look and said, "It's because other people's family is full of father and son, so what kind of father and son are you?"

"My father and son are like blue and blue, and each mountain is higher than the other." Fan Zheng hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

When Fan Chunli heard this, his complexion improved, revealing a hint of complacency.

"It's not the same thing!" Mashi asked back.

Fan Chunli's face froze immediately.

Li Qingzhao couldn't help hiding his face and laughing when he heard this.

On the second day of the winter solstice, Fan Zheng personally went to the diving team of Kaifeng City.

Fan Zheng is going to use the fire protection concepts of later generations to transform the diving team, so as to avoid too much loss caused by the fire, let the doctors pay less compensation, and let the fire insurance run smoothly.

"Is this a ladder?"

In the submerged fire team, Fan Zheng looked in surprise at the two-foot-tall ladder in front of him, which was a full six-meter-high ladder.

Using big wood as a bed, with six wheels on the bottom and two ladders on the top, each more than ten feet long, with a rotating shaft in the middle, Fan Zheng couldn't help being shocked when he saw the long ladders that were just like the fire escapes of later generations.

"Fan Taicheng's eyes!" Seeing the famous Fan Yanei coming to the Qianhuo team in person, the Qianhuo captain did not dare to neglect, and immediately accompanied him personally.

The ladder is the military's siege weapon, and it was used by the fire brigade to put out fires and save people. There were not many high-rise buildings in the Song Dynasty, and a two-foot fire ladder was enough to deal with most fires.

"This is a pump! Use a long bamboo to open the hole, wrap the water rod with cotton wool, and draw water from the hole." The captain of the diving fire introduced.

A strange look flashed in Fan Zheng's eyes. This is probably the earliest fire pump.

What surprised Fan Zheng even more was the water bag. The water bag was made by peeling off the skins of large livestock such as cows, horses and donkeys to make a water bag. It could store three or four hundred catties of water at a time. Xu's bamboo tube.

If the fire burns too hot, only four or five diving team members will work together to lift the water bag and pour water into the house through the long bamboo tube to put out the fire.

"This is probably the most efficient fire extinguishing method without the black technology of later generations!"

Fan Zheng sighed,
Da Song's diving team used the existing fire-fighting technology to the limit, and finally left in amazement.

Sure enough, with the cooperation between the doctor's family and the diving team of Kaifeng City, the fire insurance was finally perfected.

Especially after the winter solstice, the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival are immediately followed.

The flood of lanterns, firecrackers, and Kongming lanterns has increased the risk of fire, and more and more people have joined the fire insurance.

When the first year of Shao Sheng was coming to an end, [-]% of the residents in Kaifeng City had joined the fire insurance.

Yijia fire insurance was a great success.
