Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"Taizu, the latest information."

"Xu Xinsu led his troops north to Edo."

"It is expected to return to Fuzhou from the sea after setting fire there."

In the capital city, inside the side hall.

Zhu Youjian was opening a secret document sent by Mao Wenlong and reading it.

Then he reported to Taizu Hui with some surprise.

Xu Xinsu is brave enough.

He dared to directly attack the center of Japan.

"It's a bit risky..."

"But nothing should happen."

"These people are eating at sea, so they must be very confident if they dare to make this plan."

"If it can really burn down Edo, it will be a huge contribution."

Li Chen touched his chin, but he wasn't too worried.

These pirate kings are very familiar with the outer sea and don't need to worry too much.

If it really succeeds, then Xu Xinsu has made a great contribution.

It can also have a strong deterrent effect on Japanese countries.

"Yes."

"I hope he can make it."

"By the way, Taizu, Daban said you have something to ask me about?"

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Youjian nodded and didn't worry about it anymore.

Xu Xinsu has already gone and cannot be contacted for the time being.

There is no other choice but to pray for his success.

"Well there is one thing."

"Didn't we say before that after the imperial seal came back, we would have two more things?"

"In addition to the encyclopedia of wool products, the other thing is this."

Li Chen dug in his arms.

He threw a pamphlet to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian quickly took it and took a closer look.

"Bicomb coal refining manual?"

"What is this?"

Look at the name written on the brochure.

Zhu Youjian tilted his head in confusion.

"That's good stuff."

"We have said before that the Ming Dynasty has officially entered the Little Ice Age at your time."

"Look at this damn weather. It's only September, and it's starting to snow in the capital."

"It won't be long before the cold wave comes again."

"And this briquette is something that can keep people warm throughout the winter."

"Coal briquettes, as the name suggests, are coal that looks no different from a hornet's nest."

"It's made using a special method."

"It will not produce toxic gases when burned."

"Once popularized, charcoal can take a back seat."

Li Chen briefly explained the effects of briquettes to Zhu Youjian.

One can is something that can replace charcoal.

Zhu Youjian's eyes instantly lit up like a light bulb!

Good stuff!

Charcoal is not easy to make, and ordinary people cannot afford it.

For the people at the bottom, spending winter every year is like going to war. If you don't pay attention, people will disappear.

If it can replace charcoal, its value can be compared to growing grain!

"Taizu, is this thing very cheap?"

Zhu Youjian touched the cover of the booklet and asked expectantly.

From what Taizu meant, the price of briquettes would definitely not be too high.

Otherwise how to replace charcoal.

"We have calculated the price of this briquette, and it is basically suitable to set it at two to three copper plates each."

“Since it’s something that benefits the people, don’t think about making money.”

"Isn't the Royal Commercial Bank currently building affordable shops in major counties across the country?"

"When you get it done, add this thing in."

Li Chen smiled and stretched out two fingers.

He doesn't intend to make money from briquettes.

For a dynasty, labor is the most important thing.

Especially now that the Ming Dynasty is moving towards the first industrial revolution.

The population is already somewhat insufficient, and it would be a great loss if some more people freeze to death and starve to death.

Therefore, Li Chen would rather not make money but first ensure that no one will freeze to death in the Ming Dynasty.

"so cheap?"

"Hiss...it's really a divine thing."

"Taizu, I understand. Even if this thing is subsidized by the court, the price will have to be brought down."

Zhu Youjian took a breath when he heard the price.

The current price of charcoal on the market is about four cents per hundred catties.

Good charcoal is more expensive!

At this price, it can kill Charcoal.

"It's not just cheap."

"This briquette can burn for six hours."

"No matter what aspect it is, it's a blast."

"But there's one thing you have to do first."

Li Chen was very satisfied with Zhu Youjian's awakening.

After all, this guy understands that he can't be stingy with the common people.

The price of briquettes must be reduced.

This is related to the survival rate of the people of the Ming Dynasty!

"what's up?"

Zhu Youjian's face became numb after hearing that this ghost thing was so resistant to burning.

He could only rub his face and ask.

The things Taizu gave me seemed to be fine.

"It's simple."

"After salt and iron, coal should be listed as an important material for the imperial court."

"From now on, all coal mines in the world cannot be mined at will without the permission of the imperial court."

"Existing coal mines need to be brought under the control of the imperial court."

"Just like salt, we will let Zhu Yujian come forward and use things to exchange for the consent of those coal mine bosses."

"As long as supervision is in place, briquettes can be quickly promoted through the hands of these coal bosses."

Li Chen touched his nose and quickly told the story.

It’s also time to nationalize coal.

This is the most important energy source in the first and second industrial revolutions!

Before oil, coal was king!

"Is that so..."

"Okay, I'll have the Ministry of Works issue an announcement tomorrow."

"Officially list coal as a controlled material."

Zhu Youjian understood immediately after listening.

Although he didn't understand technology, he also knew that what Xu Guangqi was studying involved burning coal.

Now there is another briquette.

If it is not controlled, those coal bosses may not be able to join forces to drive up prices.

"That's fine."

"After this matter is settled, we will go find Zhu Yujian."

“The promotion of briquettes must be completed before winter!”

Li Chen nodded with satisfaction and set a goal with a wave of his hand.

This winter, no matter what, we can’t freeze people to death easily!

"Yes! Taizu!"

Zhu Youjian agreed loudly.

After settling the matter, Zhu Youjian looked at Taizu with some trepidation.

This guy looked a little embarrassed.

Li Chen's eyes widened and he asked angrily.

"what happened?"

"Anything else?"

"Let it go!"

There was a hint of embarrassment on Zhu Youjian's face.

After thinking for a while, he leaned closer and whispered.

"Taizu, can you lend me your erotic pictures?"

"I'm thinking of adding a few more offspring to my old Zhu family during this winter."

"Otherwise, I just have a son. I'm so flustered."

Erotic pictures?

Zhu Youjian really didn't expect that this guy wanted this thing...

The first time the system exploded with gold coins, he took the wrong one and let this guy take a look.

If he hadn't reminded him, Li Chen would have almost forgotten that he still had this thing in his hand.

With a twitch in his mouth, Li Chen looked at Zhu Youjian with disdain.

"If you want to see it, just say so and don't use future generations as an excuse."

"What the hell, you couldn't have given birth without this erotic picture?"

"Let me tell you, the woman is like a bone scraper. I don't show it to you because I am afraid that you will mess with it."

"We will naturally give it to you when you get a few years older."

"Now...go and take care of things!"

"Huang Taiji is not dead yet, how can you be in the mood to look at this thing!"

"Fuck off!"

With that said, Zhu Youjian was kicked out.

This bastard is getting more and more out of shape.

I don’t know who I learned it from!

(There are still only two chapters today)

(The old man at home is a bit old-fashioned, but I don’t have to watch it from tomorrow to Friday to the weekend.)

(I worked another full day of work today and am so exhausted.)

(Hey, I’m going to bed. I’ll get up early tomorrow to code...)

(By the way, it’s really hard for me to shamelessly ask for some free gifts!)
