My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 79 Good people do it to the end

Seeing that the emperor's expression remained as usual, with no intention of blaming him, Shen Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a flattering smile: "Thank you for your compliments, Your Majesty. I just accidentally inherited the inheritance from my predecessors, so I don't dare to take credit for it."

After thinking about it, Shen Yuan felt that it was better to be a good person and stay the course.

Then he said again: "My wife actually read something called "briquettes" in the book. It is made from coal ash. It saves charcoal, is cheap and easy to use. Together with the 'briquette stove', it is a must-have for every household." cooking utensils and heating items.”

As a rural child in the 80s and [-]s, who has never seen a briquette stove used? Especially in the cold north, this item is simply a must-have for boiling water, soup, porridge and keeping warm at home.

Charcoal in this dynasty, even the cheapest black charcoal, was expensive and beyond the reach of ordinary people. Their only source of heating was "firewood."

However, there is still a shortage of firewood for daily cooking, let alone for burning firewood for heating in winter. Therefore, countless elderly and children freeze to death in the cold winter every year.

If these two things can come out, it will undoubtedly be a life-saving thing for the current Dayong people.

Emperor Qianyuan was not only overjoyed, he was simply shocked.

Who is this Shen?How can you understand so much?And all of them are of great use to people's livelihood. Could it be that she has some expert guidance behind her?Or is it a goddess descending to earth?
Shen Yuan ignored the surprised looks of everyone in the palace and looked up calmly at Emperor Qianyuan, "Your Majesty, can you please prepare some paper and pens for your wife, and call a few skilled craftsmen to come over? The production of both items is very simple, I believe they will listen." If you understand what my wife is saying and painting, you will be able to understand it quickly."

Although there is no coal press here, there is no shortage of laborers. Manual work is slower, but there are more people and more power. For work like this that does not require any technical content, quantity can definitely win.

Soon, Emperor Qianyuan ordered people to prepare the things Shen Yuan wanted, and several old craftsmen who were studying new forging techniques in the military camp behind the palace were also invited.

Shen Yuan lowered his head and drew quickly on the paper. While drawing, he had technical exchanges with the old craftsmen. Every key step was explained in detail on the painting, and he also answered the questions raised by the old craftsmen one by one.

After several exchanges, the old craftsmen basically understood the production principles of "briquette stove and briquette". After understanding the uses of these two items, they even bowed deeply to Shen Yuan and expressed their deep admiration.

They can see clearly than anyone else what a blessing it will be to the people if these two things come to light.

Shen Yuan also bowed deeply and said solemnly: "What I know is just talk on paper. Whether you can turn it into reality depends entirely on your masters. If this can be done, it will be a blessing to all of you." man of."

"I don't dare to accept it, I don't dare to accept it. The Crown Prince's wisdom and broad-mindedness are admirable. The so-called master is a teacher. In this matter, the Crown Prince's wife can be regarded as the teacher of me and others. She deserves to be worshiped." Several elders. The craftsman pushed and forced a salute to Shen Yuan. Qin He couldn't help laughing as he watched.

Even Emperor Qianyuan laughed loudly, "Okay, okay, you don't have to be humble to each other. You are all my good generals. I promise you that if you can achieve these two things, you will be promoted and rewarded."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live."

Several old craftsmen immediately knelt down and knelt down to worship, they were simply ecstatic.

He secretly vowed to get out the "briquette stove and briquettes" no matter what, even if he didn't sleep or eat or drink.

Since ancient times, "workers in agriculture, industry, and business" have always been looked down upon as craftsmen, and they have no chance to change their family status through the imperial examination.

Now the opportunity to reach the sky in one step is right in front of them, and the moment that changes the fate of future generations depends on them. Even if they risk their lives, they must fulfill their holy destiny.

Shen Yuan chuckled secretly, the emperor really knew how to control people.

"There must be brave men under heavy rewards." I believe that under the spur of the big carrot of "increasing palaces and becoming nobles", these old craftsmen will definitely risk their lives to make things.

"However, your Majesty must remember to ask the government to inform the people that whether you are burning coal or charcoal, you must open the windows for ventilation when you are indoors. It is best not to close the doors and windows tightly when burning charcoal, otherwise it will emit a colorless sound when burning. He was poisoned and died from the odorless gas. As long as the doors and windows are opened for ventilation and the gas can escape, it will be fine."

Shen Yuan solemnly confessed that this must not be forgotten no matter what.

Everyone in the hall looked enlightened after hearing this.

It turns out that this is the case. No wonder there are always some people who die for no reason every year in the cold winter with the doors and windows of their homes closed. The government can't find out the cause anyway, and they never thought that the trouble was caused by burning charcoal behind closed doors.
