Chapter 1184: Honeycomb
Zhang Cai himself didn't have too many evil deeds, but during his tenure as an official, he cooperated with Liu Jin and Ka Renjia's official hat, so the enemies were everywhere.
For officials, blocking the future is tantamount to murdering their parents. So, even though Zhang Cai is only doing things for Liu Jin, Kola ’s hatred is definitely not small. At the beginning, Liu Jin used the hats of the hundred officials of the Zhangcai card, and then forced them to send money, each at least a thousand or two, or even a few thousand. Many officials even had to borrow loan sharks in order to give Liu Jin a gift.
However, Liu Jin devoted all his money to Zhengde because of his clever book, so Zhengde spared Liu Jin's life and sent him to Nanjing Shouming Xiaoling. As soon as Liu Jin left, the officials who had been bullied by him suddenly couldn't find anyone to vent their anger. Therefore, Liu Jin's party leaders have all suffered.
Cao Yuan, already in the cabinet, was forced to resign. But Baiguan didn't let him go. In the end, Cao Yuan was double-opened and no longer enjoys the deputy state-level treatment of retirement. Instead, he directly acts as a commoner. Even the treatment of scholars in Jinshi was cancelled.
In addition to Cao Yuan, the commander of Jinyiwei who once attached Liu Jin was also arrested. This product is relatively unlucky, Jin Yiwei is a department that can't withstand the investigation, and Shi Wenyi has done a lot of dirty work for Liu Jin. Therefore, this product was the most unlucky and was directly executed.
In addition, Jiao Fang, a retired former cabinet university clerk, was also held accountable and canceled the deputy state-level retirement treatment.
There is also a man named Liu Yu who has also been in the cabinet. Although he has only been a cabinet for a few months, he is considered to have retired with deputy national treatment. But this time liquidation, Liu Yu's retirement treatment was also cancelled. It should be pointed out that Liu Yu was the first person to bribe tens of thousands of dollars to Liu Jin, which raised Liu Jin's appetite. Before Liu Yu bribed Liu Jin, the bribes received by Liu Jin generally looked like a couple of hundred. With Liu Yu's bribe as a model, Liu Jin later raised the price ... And as the first person to bribe Liu Jin Wanjin, Liu Yu's position also rocketed upwards, and passed before retirement. An old man's addiction ... but Liu Jin fell, and his old man's treatment was gone ...
But the most hated part of Liu Jin's party is Zhang Cai. Who called him the specific manager of Liu Jinka's neck? But after the investigation, the officials were surprised to find that Zhang Cai itself had no flaws ... except that he had had two concubines with others, and there was nothing wrong with it ... Moreover, asking for concubines was also in ancient times. Not a sin ...
Therefore, the hundred officials now bite their teeth at Zhang Cai, but they can't find any evidence to exile his family. They can only use the crime of "attaching the eunuch" to copy them home and cancel the retirement treatment of senior officials and scholars. Identity ...
However, during this time, the call to the exile of Zhang Cai's family in Lingnan was still very loud. It's just that I couldn't find a suitable reason for a while.
...
Zhengde actually knows that Zhang Cai is the most talented official under Liu Jin, and his talents surpass that of most courtiers. However, at present, Zhang Cai is shouting and fighting in the middle of the DPRK. Even if he is Zhengde, he can't help him to speak, otherwise he will definitely be returned by the group officials.
However, letting Marlin and Pan Yi dig away Zhang Cai, Zhengde was also unwilling ...
"Ma Aiqing, Zhang Cai is also a talented person, just give you this in vain, I am unwilling ..." The young Zhengde said straightforwardly.
Marin chuckled and said:
"Your Majesty, this time the minister will not let you suffer!"
"Oh? Why don't you let me lose money?" Zheng De curiously asked.
"Honeycomb!" Marin simply said three words.
...
In fact, letting honeycomb coal come out in the Ming Dynasty was also a good thing that Marin had long considered. At the beginning, Marin moved from John II, Duke of Cliff, to a large area of the Ruhr area. Then, they seized the territory of the Ruhr area such as Recklinghausen. The purpose is for the coal in the Ruhr area.
But after acquiring most of the Ruhr area, Marin did not dare to come up with honeycomb technology. Otherwise, John II and others will certainly repent. Moreover, John II is an ally of Marin. If the honeycomb coal technology is taken out too early, it will give the impression of teammates. In this era of scuffles, the notoriety of pit teammates is a must.
Therefore, Marin had long planned to take advantage of the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty to allow the appearance of honeycomb coal technology. In this way, everyone has nothing to say. You see, I went to the Ming Dynasty only to know that there is honeycomb coal technology, not really want to pit you ...
But in fact, honeycomb coal technology is a technology that only appeared in the 20th century and was invented by Guo Wende of Dezhou, Shandong in 1949. This invention is inconspicuous, but in the second half of the 20th century, almost most urban residents used honeycomb to cook, benefiting hundreds of millions of people ...
Therefore, there is no honeycomb coal technology for Daming. Marin ’s plan was to provide the honeycomb coal technology to the Ming Dynasty first, and then pretend that he learned the technology from here ...
And the person Marin wants to provide to the technology is naturally the Emperor Zhengde ...
...
But Emperor Zhengde did not understand the value of honeycomb coal. Seeing the small honeycomb stove in front of him, Emperor Zhengde asked curiously:
"Ma Aiqing, what is this? Can this thing be worth a lot of color?" Zheng De's expression of "You tease me to play".
Marin did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically:
"Your Majesty knows how much firewood is needed to cook a meal?"
Zhengde shook his head, he was born in the court, where do you know this?
Marin had to answer by himself:
"It takes a bundle of firewood for cooking a meal, and a large bundle of firewood for three meals a day. Even if it is transported by a trolley, a car of firewood can't be burned for a few days."
Then Marin pointed to the honeycomb stove and said:
"But this kind of honeycomb coal can be burned for one day as long as three pieces are saved, and the honeycomb coal transported by a small cart can be burned for a month ..."
"That price ..."
"The minister inquired about it. The cost of coal is about 1 penny a catty, while the honeycomb coal is more than two catties, three is only six or seven kilograms, which is only a few penny. But three pieces of honeycomb coal can meet the family's cooking For water. "
"Besides, honeycomb coal does not occupy space. The emperor should know that every household now has a special firewood room, which is filled with firewood. If honeycomb coal is used, it does not necessarily need a firewood room, just pile it directly in the corner of the kitchen ... … "
"This is a great thing ..." Zhengde nodded ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ There was a saying in ancient times that "it is difficult to live in Chang'an". The housing of the poor people is limited, but it is really wasteful to have to vacate a room for each other's firewood. In addition, to buy so much firewood, the cost of a porter who transports firewood is not low.
According to historical records, the per capita consumption of firewood in Changan during the Tang Dynasty was 550 kg, equivalent to 1.5 kg per day, or three kilograms. For a family of five, it costs 15 pounds of firewood every day ...
However, the price of firewood is higher than that of coal. Marin went to the market to inquire, and the firewood cost 160 liters per 100 kg, which is 1.6 liters per kg. Charcoal is more expensive, at 480 per hundred catties, which is 4.8 per catty. Straw is cheaper, but also slightly higher than coal ...
Moreover, 80% of honeycomb coal is coal, and 20% is yellow mud and water. Three pieces of honeycomb coal weigh 7.5 pounds, but actually only 6 pounds of coal ...
6 pounds of coal compared to 15 pounds of firewood, and the price of firewood is higher than coal ...
Not only that, the use of honeycomb coal for cooking, there is no need to prepare a firewood ...
No matter how it is calculated, it is a great deal to use honeycomb coal ...
