Chapter 1480: Honeycomb coal in Daming

Marin is now very much looking forward to Simon getting married sooner, because once Simon is married, he can take advantage of the opportunity to launch honeycomb. At that time, even if the Lamarcks were angry because Marc had been deceived by Marin, there was no way to regret it. After all, divorce is very difficult this year, and it needs special approval from the Holy See.

If the honeycomb was launched too early, it angered the Lamarck family, and the other side might regret it. And if the Lamarck family repents, Marin dares to guarantee that Old Huffman will definitely beat himself. Therefore, he is now waiting for Simon to get married quickly and cook raw rice to make mature rice, so he is not afraid of Lamarc family's regret.

What Marin didn't know was that he had completely popularized honeycomb coal throughout the Ming dynasty in the two years he left Daming. Mainly, the honeycomb coal stove is too easy. Clean and does not occupy space. Moreover, the cost is very low.

Especially for those poor people, not occupying space is a very important advantage. You need to know that a wood-burning stove is needed to burn earth stoves. After all, if you use ordinary haystacks, it is easy to get wet on rainy days, and you can't make a fire to cook. In ancient times, the firewood house was the standard for most people. In the TV series, people are "closed into the firewood house", which shows how important the firewood house is. Moreover, the footprint is not small.

However, for the poor, building a firewood house is a bit extravagant. In some poor families, the rooms they live in are not as good as those in large houses. Many of the poor in the city live in the humble thatched cottages. When it rains, it leaks. Where can we build a wood house?

The appearance of honeycomb coal gives ordinary people a very good choice-save the next firewood. Moreover, burning coal saves money than burning wood and grass!

Therefore, when Zhengde introduced honeycomb and honeycomb stoves under the name of one of the four divisions of Nei Gong (Xi Salary, Bell Drum, Bao Banking, and Hundang), it quickly became popular. First of all, honeycomb coal quickly became popular in the capital city with large population.

However, the use of beehive coal is different between the large households of the capital and the poor. At first, those big households also tried to cook with honeycomb coal, but they soon discovered that the firepower of honeycomb coal cooking was not enough, and the cooking was not as good as the earthen stove. Therefore, despite the convenience and saving of honeycomb, those large households still do not like to cook with honeycomb. However, a function of the honeycomb coal stove deeply attracted them-boiling water ...

After the honeycomb stove is plugged with gas holes at the bottom, a tin kettle is placed on the stove to heat the hot water 24 hours a day. The dignitaries and scholars of Daming especially like to drink tea and have a complete tea ceremony. Honeycomb stoves, which can provide hot water 24 hours, and boil water without smoke, are very popular among the gentlemen.

After all, there is no insulated thermos these years. If you want to drink tea, you have to boil hot water, which is very troublesome and you need to wait. The honeycomb coal stove can provide hot water at any time, which is very convenient for the wise gentlemen to make tea and treat guests.

Therefore, although the gentry class and the civilian class of Daming both like the honeycomb stove, they are placed in different places-civilians are placed in the kitchen or at the door for cooking; and the gentry giants of Daming, both The honeycomb stove and tin kettle for boiling water were placed in front of the living room. In this way, it is convenient for the house maid to make tea for the guests.

Even, many ordinary people can drink hot water at any time because of the characteristic of the honeycomb coal stove that can continuously burn hot water, which is very convenient. what? You said nobody watched the honeycomb stove burn out during the day? It doesn't exist because women don't go out this year. They usually take children at home or work as female workers to change money. They just look at the stove at home to prevent the water from drying out. As for the big households, it goes without saying, there are special maidservants looking at the stove, so as to provide hot water for the host or guests at any time ...

In short, this is how the honeycomb coal stove hangs! Even ordinary people's homes can drink hot water 24 hours after they have a honeycomb coal stove. Before the appearance of the honeycomb coal stove, burning hot water was not only troublesome, but also wasted firewood. The poor people may not be willing to boil water. Therefore, the honeycomb coal stove can not only reduce the cost of boiling water for cooking, but also provide the degree of hot water at any time when there is no vacuum thermos bottle. In this way, it is very convenient for the government to promote drinking hot water or something.

If you do n’t have an artifact like a honeycomb stove that continuously burns water, even if you promote drinking hot water, the poor people may not waste wood fired water in order to save firewood. When thirsty, just get some well water and deal with it ...

Of course, ancient big households also had water-burning stoves. It was a small copper furnace that burned massive charcoal. But the charcoal block is more expensive, at least more expensive than firewood. Moreover, all those who have eaten barbecues in later generations know that charcoal-grilled grills are also smoky, which greatly affects the atmosphere of the literati's comparison ... And honeycomb coal made of anthracite will not be smoky. Provide sufficient tea, so that literati like it very much.

Therefore, in the past two years, the honeycomb coal stove spread rapidly at the speed of virus spread in the Ming Dynasty. In the beginning, Zheng De ordered people to set up a honeycomb stove outside the cabinet door to make hot water for making tea.

As a result, the move quickly drew the attention of a big boss in North Korea ...

The cabinet is the gathering place of the most senior group of gangsters in the Ming Dynasty, and the top group of gangsters are inside. In the past, the palace also had a small copper stove in the cabinet for boiling water. However, that small copper furnace has a small amount of water and is expensive.

And Marin provided Zhengde's honeycomb coal stove and large tin pots similar to later generation kettles, which can burn 5 liters of water at a time, which can supply several cabinet ministers at the same time. In this way, several big men in the cabinet only need to share one honeycomb coal stove, and only one boiler is needed. Unlike in the past, every big brother has to bring a small servant who burns water, but also asks the salary department to ask for so many charcoal blocks.

Li Dongyang was born in Beijing, a noble family, and his life is always elegant, but he didn't care much about it. But Yang Tinghe, who was born in the Sichuan and Shu countryside, always cared about people's livelihood. After seeing the advantages of this new type of honeycomb coal stove in terms of cost and use, as a secondary assistant, he strongly recommended this tea-making artifact to the Beijing Teachers' Office. Then, the honeycomb coal stove was first popularized in Beijing Normal University ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ and then popularized in the homes of wealthy households and local officials in Beijing. Then, at various cultural conferences, rows of honeycomb stoves for boiling water and tea were also appeared ...

In this way, Zhengde didn't pay the advertising fee, and the officials helped publicize it for free. However, when the North Korean and Chinese officials noticed the huge potential of the honeycomb coal industry, they were surprised to find that in Jinxi Province, which produces the largest amount of coal in Quan Daming, the coal mines are basically controlled by the palace's salary management ...

The benefits go into the hands of the eunuchs, who dares to grab them? Although Liu Jin had fallen, Zhang Yong and others were not in the climate, but Yu Wei of Liu Jin was still there. The ministers did not dare to compete with the palace for coal resources in Jinxi Province. Then, everyone started competing for coal mines in other places.

In this way, the Mentougou coal mine near the capital was discovered and occupied by several gangsters from North Korea. Although Mentougou Coal Mine is not as large as Jinxi's large coal mine, it can't stand here right next to the capital of Beijing. The transportation cost is very low and the price is advantageous. The Datong Coal Mine in Jinxi, hundreds of kilometers away from the capital, has no cost advantage.

Subsequently, the Kailuan Coal Mine near Shanhaiguan, the first modern coal mine in Huaxia, was also found by the local garrison generals, and became the interests of the military master ...

In this way, a honeycomb coal industry has spurred the great development of the coal mining industry in the Ming Dynasty. Although Daming does not have a steam engine industry, it can't stand up to the large demand for honeycomb coal! With only one million people in Beijing, the coal consumption is an amazing number, not to mention that there are so many cities in the Ming Dynasty. Of course, because of transportation restrictions, only cities near the mine's origin can be successfully promoted. However, those far away from the coal production area and inaccessible places are temporarily unable to promote honeycomb coal. Because the cost of land transportation in this era is too pit ...
