Daqin: Check in at the beginning of 18 and ask Zulong to abdicate

"Improve the cold protection of the Qin army, especially the northern garrison. Of course, I am very concerned about it!"

Ying Zigao said with a serious face: "I will also instruct the Ouchi workshop and the government-run iron smelting workshop to vigorously produce the briquette stove and briquette to supply the army and the government!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Minister of the Ministry of War hurriedly said seriously.

"In addition, we must pay special attention to the cold protection of craftsmen and peasants on the construction site of the construction of straight roads, Chi roads, the Great Wall, the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and the fortifications in the northern part of the Great Wall!"

Ying Zigao went on to say: "The honeycomb coal stove produced should be sent to the construction site as soon as possible! It should be given the same attention as the cold and warm protection of the military camp!"

"Your Majesty is so sympathetic to the people's livelihood, and loves the people so much that I admire you!"

Hearing this, Yu Huatian said hastily.

The other ministers also hurriedly said: "Your Majesty loves the people, and I admire you!"

Seeing the ministers applauding in unison, Ying Zigao couldn't help but feel secretly proud.

"Your Majesty, I have the guts to ask, Your Majesty, what is the cost of the briquette stove and the briquette?"

At this moment, the voice of the left servant of the Ministry of Industry sounded.

Upon hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but tighten their faces.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry took a serious look at Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry.Remind him to stop talking.

Ying Zigao said indifferently, "The cost of the briquette stove is [-] Wen each. The cost of the briquette is [-] Wen per catty."

"Your Majesty, the cost of briquette stove and briquette is very low!"

Before Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry could speak, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry jumped in and said: "It is absolutely no problem to supply the barracks and the work sheds on the construction site for heating!"

Ying Zigao nodded and said: "The cost I mentioned just now is the cost of capital contribution and accounting. If it is delivered to the government-run iron smelting workshop for mass production, the cost will drop!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Minister of the Ministry of Industry said busyly with a serious face.Other ministers also praised him one after another.

"Your Majesty, although the cost of briquette stoves and briquettes is not high, they are not acceptable to poor people."

In the midst of the praises of the ministers, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry said with a serious face: "Especially in the north, a briquette stove for 5 yuan a piece may be affordable, but a briquette briquette for [-] yuan a catty is expensive." It is too expensive!
Even for barracks and sheds, the cost of heating for a whole winter is not a small sum! "

Seeing the stern expression on the face of the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, Ying Zigao couldn't help but feel a heat in his heart.

It seems that there are still people among the ministers who speak out and advise!

Thinking of this, Ying Zigao said seriously: "What Aiqing said is true, the briquette stove and briquette are indeed a little expensive at the moment."

"Your Majesty, I implore Your Majesty, think of a way to design a lower cost and cheaper heating equipment!"

The left servant of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly said seriously: "To supply barracks, work sheds, and the vast number of poor people!"

"What Ai Qing said is very true." Ying Zigao nodded and said, "I'm already thinking of ways to get cheaper heating equipment. The results will be achieved soon!"

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help being secretly surprised.

In their view, it is not easy to invent such a portable, clean and cheap heating tool as a briquette stove.

It is simply impossible to invent a cheaper heating appliance!

When Ying Zigao said this, it was probably because Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry questioned him in public and had no choice but to say it.

Everyone looked at the left servant of the Ministry of Industry with serious faces.

The left servant of the Ministry of Industry looked at the eyes of other ministers and understood his mistakes, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

As soon as the morning was over, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry was called aside by the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and said seriously: "How can you talk to Your Majesty like that?"

"Master Shangshu, I know I'm wrong!"

The left servant of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly said seriously.

"Heating tools such as briquette stoves and briquettes are already very cheap, clean and convenient!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry said with a serious face: "It is not easy for Your Majesty to invent such a cold weapon! You still say that the cost is high or not cheap. Isn't this embarrassing Your Majesty?"

"It's a lowly job, and it's a storm, and I don't think fully!"

The left servant of the Ministry of Industry said with a look of remorse!

"Okay, this is the end of the matter, no matter how harsh you are!"

Seeing the remorseful look on the face of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Industry, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry couldn't help but soften his heart, and said seriously: "Don't ask His Majesty about the heating equipment in the court these few days! Let this matter go like this!"

"The humble job understands!" The Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Industry said hurriedly and seriously.

At this moment, Ying Zigao had arrived at the Imperial Study Room.

In the imperial study room at this time, the fire in the briquette stove was burning vigorously.

The whole room was steaming. As soon as Ying Zigao returned to the room, he took off his heavy fur, sat by the desk, and read the memorial attentively.

Just after reviewing the memorial, the respectful voice of the guard officer came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, the Chief of Guards please see me!"

Ying Zigao put down his brush and said loudly, "Send him in!"

"My minister bows to His Majesty!" The chief guard knelt down on the ground as soon as he came to the imperial study room, paying homage respectfully.

"Stay flat." Ying Zigao smiled and said, "Ai Qing is here, what is the matter?"

"Your Majesty, I have come here specially to thank Your Majesty for your concern!"

The chief guard hurriedly said excitedly: "Your Majesty arranged for craftsmen to build a kang for the rest room of the Ouchi guards, which immediately solved the big problem of the Ouchi guards to keep out the cold at night!"

Ying Zigao hurriedly asked earnestly, "So, the kang I designed is not bad for heating?"

"Your Majesty, the heating effect of the kang is very good!"

The chief guard hurriedly said with a serious face: "Fill the firewood in through the door of the kang, and after lighting it, the whole kang will be hot! Brother guards lie on it to sleep, it is so comfortable!"

As he spoke, the chief guard couldn't help but get excited: "Before it was dark before, these boys couldn't sleep because of the cold, and they got up in a hurry, and there was no need for me to remind them.

It's good now, I don't want to get up after sleeping on the kang, and I have to ask Wei Chen to scold and remind me one by one to get up on duty reluctantly! "

Hearing this, Ying Zigao.Can't help but smile knowingly: "Unexpectedly, the kang designed by me made these boys sleep late!"

"Your Majesty, that's not what I mean!" The head guard couldn't help but tense up, and hurriedly said: "I must strictly control the guards, and there will never be any slack in duties or violations of regulations!"

"Why are you so nervous? I don't mean to blame you." Ying Zigao smiled slightly and said kindly.
