Iron Dynasty

　　 "His Royal Highness, what is this briquettes?" Wang Shijie was puzzled.

　　 Xiao Ming showed a mysterious smile and motioned to Chen Wenlong with his eyes.

　　 Chen Wenlong knew, and sent the craftsman to take the briquettes he had made.

　　 The briquettes are also called briquettes. They are ten centimeters in cylindrical shape and have circular holes distributed throughout. In the world where Xiao Ming lived before, this briquettes stove was very popular before the 70s and 80s, and almost every family had it.

　　Boiling water, cooking, heating, it can be said to be versatile, very practical, and quite simple to manufacture.

　　 Faced with this kind of thing that never appeared, Wang Shijie and the four were in confusion at the same time, just waiting for Qin Le's next explanation.

"Look at it carefully, this is a briquettes stove, which is actually a cylinder, separated into two parts by an iron pestle. The upper part is the furnace, the lower part is the air inlet, and there is a damper on the outside. The air intake is small and the fire is small. This briquettes are made by grinding and recasting briquettes. The combination of the two will have a magical effect."

　　 Xiao Ming said, he took the charcoal and wheat stalks to start the fire, then put a briquettes on the bottom, and stood on it with a long clay tube as a chimney.

　　 The four Wang Shijie stood together and whispered, watching Qin Le's movements intensively.

　　 After a while, the fire raged and the briquettes were ignited, and then Xiao Ming stuffed the second briquettes into the stove and took the small chimney down at the same time.

　　 The blue flame in the furnace was burning vigorously.

　　 "His Royal Highness, this is not much different from a charcoal basin." Sun Dong said straightforwardly among the four.

　　 Qin Mu rolled his eyes, knocked the fan in his palm, and said dissatisfied with Sun Dong: "Brother Sun said that this is very bad. Since he can make His Royal Highness so concerned, it must be something extraordinary."

　　 "Brother Qin's flattering skills are getting more and more diligent, which is amazing. I think Brother Sun's words have some truth." Wei Qing said sternly.

　　 If Sun Dong is outspoken, then Wei Qing's head is a bit awkward. As far as Xiao Ming knows, his father bought it for Wei Qing's examination to pass a lot of money.

　　 As for him, he likes sticks more than poetry.

Wang Shijie groaned for a while, and showed a look of contempt at the three of them, "If you talk about this briquettes stove, you three will not be as good as I understand. This kind of briquettes stove is really practical and more practical than a charcoal basin. It's much more convenient."

　　 "Brother Wang still has insights, he deserves to be in the coal and iron business." Xiao Ming praised.

　　Wang Shijie has always been for someone who lays eggs in a broken basket. He is triumphant, like a victorious rooster, "His Royal Highness, this thing is really good, I don't know where did your Highness learn this thing?"

　　Xiao Ming said lightly: "Speaking of this, it is long. The butler of the palace bought a book from a foreign businessman a few days ago. I saw that there are many novel things in it, so I studied it carefully."

　　 At this time, Xiao Ming’s identity as the prince’s advantage is manifested. He only needs to make up an excuse to get rid of the equipment to be developed in the future.

　　 If it were ordinary people, these rich family members would have to figure out **** people.

　　Wang Shijie was half-believing, but Xiao Ming said so, he didn't dare to ask, after all, it was one thing for them to get along well with Xiao Ming, but it was another matter.

　　 "His Royal Highness is really an honorable person with God's help. This briquettes stove is really good. Can Your Highness let the Department of Apparatus also make a use for me?"

　　Wang Shijie exchanged glances with Qin Mu and others. This briquettes stove is a novelty. They wanted to buy it back and try it out.

　　 Xiao Ming waited for the fish to take the bait. It is impossible for the briquettes to be popularized in common people's homes, because ordinary people can't burn coal and can only burn some wood.

　　 But the big family is different. The psychology of any rich family is the same, that is, they like to hunt for strange things.

　　 "It's not impossible. It's just that the briquettes consume iron and coal. My Qi Palace has always been poor..."

　　Wang Shijie, a human-like character, immediately understood, "His Royal Highness, it is easy to say, how much silver do you say about this briquettes stove, we will come out."

　　Qin Mu and the three people nodded one after another. They didn't dare to take advantage of Xiao Ming's hands, and Xiao Ming was also a feudal king anyway.

　　 "Let's do it, fifty-two silver patterns on a briquettes stove." Xiao Ming Lion said loudly.

　　 Wang Shijie was shocked, this King Qi really dared to ask for it.

　　 In his opinion, although this briquettes stove is much more convenient than charcoal bowls, it is not irreplaceable. At most, it is a lot more convenient. It is not worth so much money. At most, it is only a few silver patterns.

He said: "His Royal Highness, fifty taels are really too many. Think about it. If a big family does not raise a servant, this is a little troublesome for boiling water, cooking and warm wine, but after all, you don’t need to do it yourself. , It’s better to buy a maid, don’t make things difficult for me."

　　 Qin Mu and the three nodded at the same time, and Sun Dong said, "But Brother Wang reminded me that this briquettes stove is a business, and you can sell it to wealthy households who have some money in their hands and cannot afford maids."

　　 Xiao Ming glanced at the four of them, thinking that the ancients were not stupid, and they were careful in their calculations. They could not just make a fool of something to make a lot of money.

　　 The first round of flicker failed, Xiao Ming called Chen Wenlong to ask about the cost of the briquettes stove.

　　 Wang Shijie estimated that the cost of UU reading www.uukanshu.com is basically about two or two silver, after all, coal and iron are still very expensive.

　　 I can’t find the wrongdoer, but Sun Dong’s proposal is feasible. He made the briquettes to make money.

　　 Otherwise, where does the money come from to build up the industrial foundation, can't all the wealthy families in Qingzhou be ransacked?

　　 "Brother Sun is still brilliant." Xiao Ming praised.

　　 At this time, Qin Mu had a clever move, and said, "His Royal Highness, my family is engaged in water transportation business. I go everywhere in this big Yu country. How about giving this briquettes stove business to my family and letting my family sell it?"

　　 "This matter is indeed the most suitable for Brother Qin." Wei Qing said.

"Brother Qin's words are exactly what I want, and you all understand that Qingzhou’s taxation is less than a year. If this continues, the Qi Palace will soon be inhaled. Although you often help the Palace, it is not after all. Long-term plan." Xiao Ming said with a long sigh.

　　 At this time, all four of them showed an awkward look. Naturally, they knew what was the crux of the tax issue.

　　 It's just that the big family of the big Yu country nowadays who don't hold the silver in their own hands.

　　 Now that the king of Qi wants to do business on his own to supplement the royal mansion, this is understandable. Just ask who of the princes does not have a group of merchants.

　　 These merchants worshipped silver every year in exchange for business convenience, and some profitable businesses were even run directly by the prince’s cronies.

　　Similarly, they also enshrine the king of Qi some silver taels every year, but the king of Qi is really incompetent, and these silver taels are used for pleasure.

　　Even the mines that the other princes were holding tightly in their hands, Caoyun was indifferent.
