Honglouchun

As he said that, Li Xuan took off a green cucumber from a cucumber stand, wiped it casually with a handkerchief, took a bite, and his mouth was full of fragrance!

"Send it!"

"Jia Qiang, you have so many ways to make money, but you have to do the same thing. Isn't there still a golden mountain in Xishan? How can you create a green gold mountain?"

"This business, I think it has more background and more expensive than pounding coal!"

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Who among the ordinary people can afford this? Even the nobles... most of the homes have cellars and keep them. Except for a few who are really expensive, there are not many who can afford this."

The cellar is a good thing, even ordinary people can hide a cabbage or something. Of course, they eat more pickled vegetables.

In winter, try warming a plate of garlic seedlings and sprouting a pot of bean sprouts on the top of the burning kang, even if you are trying something new for the New Year.

However, in the homes of high-ranking officials and nobles, there is a special cellar for storing fresh food, called Caidongzi.

A few very noble families even grow vegetables on the kang.

And the price of doing so is extremely high.

In contrast, Jia Qiang's greenhouse looks expensive, but it is not.

The greenhouse uses glass as the window, and fertile soil is used to grow vegetables in the heating room. It is not much different from the greenhouse in the previous life, and the effect is of course good.

Although glass is considered a precious item nowadays, the windows of Ningrong Second Mansion have long been sealed with glass.

If you don't pursue the strict transparency and clarity as in the previous life, it is not difficult to get some glass.

The biggest secret of these five greenhouses is not the glass and heating, but the insulation layer outside the greenhouse.

Using slag as the medium, supplemented by cotton and linen as the core, and laying a layer of insulation against the wall, this can make the temperature of the greenhouse rise to a high enough level evenly, and can be maintained.

Otherwise, it would be too expensive to drive such a large space purely by burning coal, and it would be too extravagant to pile up purely with money.

Secondly, if it is burned too hard and the heat is uneven, it is easy to cause dryness and burnt near the stove, and the heat far away is not enough.

And with this layer of insulation, even the most primitive insulation layer, the role played is immeasurable.

Coupled with the fermented livestock manure, this shed of vegetables became the green golden mountain in Li Xuan's eyes.

"I didn't show the prince this, but the stove and the radiator. The briquettes burned by the stove are the ones piled up. This stubborn one can burn for half an hour, and put two at a time, and it can burn for an hour and a half." .The room is small and dense, and it is airtight, so it can keep you from being cold all night.

Those coal mines on the market are far worse than this. They cost three yuan a piece, but ours only costs two yuan a piece.It's less than 100 yuan a month, save a little, more than [-] yuan is enough.

The price is so low that ordinary people can afford it.

With small profits but high sales, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have a stable financial source that will never be exhausted, and it will also benefit the people.

After all, there will always be winter, and every winter at least a hundred people will freeze to death in the capital.

I don't know how many died of cold infection.

Therefore, selling coal so cheaply is also a kindness of Tianjia to the people.

And not only briquettes can make money, but also stoves can make money.The ordinary briquette stove is simple and nothing.

The most profitable, or such heating.

This requires a skilled blacksmith to spend time to do it, a little bit of manual polishing, and some components require some unusual tools. It is agreed in advance that only the Delin can make these components...

Let me talk about it, my lord, would those rich and powerful families not like this kind of good thing? "

When talking about serious matters, Li Xuan was still very serious. He nodded and said, "Jia Qiang, it seems that the master taught you well. Near Zhu Zhechi, you have put your heart into it for the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Jia Qiang nodded sternly and said, "It's too close to the pig, so it's inevitable that I need to spend more time."

Li Xuan scolded with a smile: "It's a good shot, and you're scolding me again, you should be careful."

While joking, he squatted down, took a look at a piece of coal with tongs, and asked, "Jia Qiang, why are there eighteen holes on it?"

Jia Qiang said: "This is a big one with eighteen holes, and there is a small one used by ordinary people with only twelve holes. These holes are for ventilation, so that the briquettes can burn through more."

Li Xuan nodded and said: "Good thing! It is indeed a good thing. I reckon that most of the houses with old people like this."

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "It is installed in the bedroom. The stove is not inside, but built outside. Not only the elderly, but most wealthy families will like it. The heating effect is much better than that of smoked cages and braziers. The key is that it is cheap. Coal briquettes How much is it, how about charcoal?"

Li Xuan twitched his lips and said, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs' Department of Cherishing Salaries cuts down hardwoods in the mountains around Yizhou every year and burns them into charcoal, then transports them to the Hongluo Factory, cuts them according to size, weaves small round thorn baskets, brushes the baskets with red clay and fills them. No. Each root is about a foot long, and the diameter of the garden varies from two to three inches. It is fragrant and warm when burned. It can be burned for half an hour per catty. It is gray and white without bursting, and there is no smoke. However, it costs [-] per catty. Money!"

Fifteen times that of briquettes.

However, Xixinsi had a more famous name in his previous life: Neichang...

"Tsk!"

Li Xuan sighed, and said, "Jia Qiang, I know you can make trouble, and everyone says you are a golden boy of good fortune, but I still underestimate you. You are too good at making things..."

Jia Qiang asked curiously: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs has added such a large amount of income, the prince is not happy?"

Li Xuan smiled wryly: "It's not that I don't like it, it's just that, do you know how many people are supported by Hongluotan and Yinshuangtan?"

Jia Qiang sneered and said: "Feed a bird! The prince knows why the people hate the extravagant life of the rich and powerful? It's because they enslave the people to drive them like cattle and horses, and while serving them for them to enjoy, they have no favors." To the common people. This has been the case from ancient times to the present. Otherwise, how could "The Charcoal Seller" come about? But the coal mines of the Ministry of Internal Affairs cannot do this, and the hard work of the craftsmen and civilians must be rewarded. It is also related to the face of the Tian family."

Li Xuan frowned and said, "That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm talking about is how many wealthy businessmen and dignitaries have been fattened up by this business! Jia Qiang, let's make fun of our prestige. Give us a smile, at most you will curse in your heart. But if they cut off their fortune, it is still such a big fortune, do you believe they dare to kill people? The group of ignorant gangsters have already ambushed and killed a commander of the embroidered clothes guard Well, it was Wei Yongming who escaped. You may not have such great luck as him... Even the Lord may not be able to survive. Why is the Supreme Emperor..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xuan threw the tongs on the ground hard.

Jia Qiang patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "My lord, if someone wants to murder, his first target must be me, are you sure about that?"

Li Xuan nodded, looked at him sideways, and said, "You can't do it either. Although I like to earn some money, I also want you to help, but I didn't ask you to pay for it with your life?"

Jia Qiang was moved in her heart, and said with a smile on her face: "What is the prince thinking? To earn some money, I still need to sacrifice my life?" As he said, he glanced behind and saw the housekeeper who was following far behind. Li Yong hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What does Lord Hou want?"

Jia Qiang said, "Get a few potatoes and bring me two scorpions."

Li Yong hurriedly went to prepare, and returned soon after. After Jia Qiang shared Li Xuan's small pot, he sat down himself, opened the small leaf at the bottom of the stove, and put the potatoes one by one into the soot...

The idea of ​​potatoes has been introduced to Dayan for many years, but it has not been widely promoted, and the same is true for corn.

In a relatively extremely conservative society, it is basically impossible for any new things to spread without vigorous official promotion.

After all, tax collectors don't collect these...

In the past two years, Jia Qiang has managed to diversify the farms under the Jia family's name and keep more of them. When the New Deal comes into effect, let Lin Ruhai promote it all over the world to relieve the suffering of the common people.

After roasting the potatoes in the stove, he closed the door and said with a soft smile: "Although I don't really want to do this job, since I have taken on it, I can't hold back or embarrass my husband. Empress's love, isn't it?"

"The incident in Yang Village in Wuqing shows that there are indeed big black hands lurking in the dark in Beijing, and they can even mobilize the army. It's very scary!"

"Although, my husband's advice to me is to stay the same and wait for the opportunity..."
