Ancient promotion routine

Chen Su was completely attracted by Zhang Yanjin's actions, and asked inappropriately: "Erlang, what are you holding?"

After smelling a familiar smell of mutton, Chen Su widened his eyes, pointed to the red and white, delicate and pleasant mutton in the plate and said, "Is this mutton?"

The fire was very hot, and the mutton was cooked quickly. Zhang Yanjin had already dipped the sesame paste into a small dish filled with sesame paste and started eating.

Chen Su wondered: "The mutton is cooked like this? You don't eat it raw, do you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was already envious of Zhang Yanjin's eating with gusto, and he also added a small piece of mutton and scalded it in the broth.

After seeing the color of the flesh darken, Chen Su quickly picked it up.

The thin slices of meat exuded a strong aroma, stained with a little red oil star flower, Chen Su's appetite was whetted, and he stuffed it into his mouth before the heat of the mutton roll dissipated.

The hot mutton roll was so hot that he screamed out, put down his chopsticks and fanned it continuously, but because the mutton roll was too delicious, he was reluctant to spit it out.

Looking at Chen Su's antics, Zhang Yanjin laughed out loud.

But Chen Su didn't care at all. He looked at the small sesame sauce plate in Zhang Yanjin's hand, and quickly told Zhang Wuer, "Bring me a small plate like that too." He was sure that with Zhang Yanjin's temper, he would definitely not He has treated himself badly, he just needs to learn from Zhang Yanjin.

After that, he picked up another chopsticks of mutton and put it in the red broth. After it was cooked, he rinsed it in sesame sauce and started to eat it. In a short time, he even ate up the small plate of mutton rolls. up.

Zhang Yanjin was so angry that he hit Chen Su's chopsticks, poured vegetables into the white broth beside him and said, "Why did you come here?"

Chen Su wiped the oil from his mouth and said, "If I knew you would enjoy it so much, I would have come a long time ago. This mutton is simply too fresh. It can be said that it is fresh but not fishy, ​​and the meal is not shameful. It is more famous than Chang'an City." The mutton made by Zuixianlou is even more delicious!"

He quickly glanced at the room, and said with some regret: "Erlang, everything is good here, but the room is too small and dilapidated. Why is there nothing on your wall? Isn't it too shabby?"

"Eating can't stop your mouth!" Zhang Yanjin added a piece of cabbage and put it into Chen Su's bowl.

Chen Su rinsed the cabbage in sesame sauce and ate it. After eating, he muttered: "You have such a good food and you have kept it from your brother for so long. No wonder you didn't say anything when you left after the New Year. Enjoy it."

Zhang Yanjin couldn't laugh or cry: "I just made hot pot today, and you came here. Do you think you have a special nose?"

It took Chen Su a long time to realize that Zhang Yanjin said he was a dog's nose. He was so angry that he picked up chopsticks and put mutton into the red oil broth and said, "Brother, I traveled thousands of miles to see you. It's fine if you're not moved, but you're still brazen... "

Halfway through the talk, when the mutton was cooked, Chen Su picked up the mutton and ate it, completely forgetting that he was still talking to Zhang Yanjin.

The two accompanied each other with fine wine and hot pot until the afternoon.

From Chen Su's mouth, Zhang Yanjin learned about the status quo of Chang'an City in bits and pieces. The coal shop opened by Zhang Yanjin was selling well in the capital, bringing Zhang Yanjin an income of thousands of taels of silver every day. Chen Su was very envious of this. Jealousy and hate, Zhang Yanjin, now has an official, a holy favor, and is still the God of Wealth.

In addition, Zhang Yanjin also breathed a sigh of relief. It is estimated that Emperor Sheng Yuan would not worry about his calculation of the coal mine. He learned from Chen Su that the main event discussed by the court during this period was the selection of the general of the Northern Expedition. His letters from home were given to him.

What the Northern Expedition wants to open up is the most important channel to go to Turkic. After passing Turkic, there are many tribes in the Western Regions, which is very important for the Great Wei Dynasty.

In Zhang Yanjin's impression, the candidate for the Northern Expedition this time was under the tug-of-war between the emperor and the major families, and the final result was that the emperor resisted the opinions of the family and chose to remain unknown. It seemed that he had nothing to do with this matter. Chu Chigong.

The result of history is that Chu Chigong lived up to expectations, led his troops to overwhelm the Turks, opened up the Hexi Corridor, and once again made great contributions to the Wei court.

"I listen to my father's tone, the emperor prefers your uncle most."

Zhang Yanjin was a little surprised. Chen Derang was the emperor's most trusted civil servant. As a minister, he was already considered a minister when there was no minister in this dynasty. He said so and asked Chen Su to reveal something. It may be that my uncle is in command of the expedition.

As Zhang Yanjin, Zhang Yanjin understands that his uncle attaches great importance to the Beizheng. Originally, in the course of history, Zhang Yanjin was probably used by Li Rongniang to make his uncle lose the chance to be the general. Now that he has come back perfectly, he has not yet contributed to the Beizheng. In this way, the previous unfavorable influence is completely eliminated. As the uncle of the Confucian general, compared with Chu Chigong who won by force, he is indeed safer.

"I don't care about that."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Yanjin put down the chopsticks, contentedly picked up the moist cotton cloth prepared by the servant at the side, wiped his hands and mouth, and leaned lazily on the table.

He tore open the letter his uncle gave him, looked at it vertically, and found that it was full of earnest entrustments to him. The letter also mentioned Meng Jinglun, saying that Meng Jinglun was smart and capable, and let him and Meng Jinglun, the new The county magistrate who came got along well, and don't be as reckless as last time. At the end of the letter, he said that he and Mrs. Zhang were both in good health, so Zhang Yanjin should not worry about it.

Zhang Yanjin put down the letter in his hand, and found that Chen Su, who was sitting opposite him, was already full of food and drink, and drowsy.

He looked at Chen Su and still had a headache. This guy came without even saying hello. Where will he sleep tonight?

At night, Zhang Yanjin simply gave up his sleeping room to Chen Su, and he lived in the study by himself.

Chen Su was a little bit disgusted with such a small and low room with bare walls, but after hearing Zhang Yanjin say that if he didn't sleep, let him sleep on the main road, he obediently fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yanjin couldn't resist Chen Su's request, and took Chen Su to the coal mine for a tour, and then went to the brick factory, letting Chen Su get over his addiction to novelty.

If it is said that when Chen Su saw the coal mining site and the brick-burning factory, he only thought it was fresh, but when he saw the red brick building in front of him, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. .

Zhang Yanjin did not take Chen Su to the red brick factory built for the workers outside the factory, but took Chen Su to the house he specially designed for himself.

Only then did Chen Su realize how could Zhang Yanjin be subservient to living in the kind of crappy house he lived in yesterday?It turned out that a new house was built here!

This house is at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by green mountains and green waters, with excellent Feng Shui.

"You built this house because you told the emperor during the Chinese New Year?" Chen Su curiously reached out to touch the red brick house. He felt that the touch felt strange after touching it, so he reached out to touch it again.

Zhang Yanjin only felt that Chen Su was like Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden. Everything she saw was surprising and fresh.

"Go, I'll take you up there." Zhang Yanjin patted Chen Su on the shoulder and walked inside.

Chen Su followed Zhang Yanjin carefully, and entered the room without a door.

Seeing the bright and spacious room, Chen Su turned around in a circle, looked at the ceiling that had not yet been cemented, and said with some fear, "These red bricks won't fall down, will they?"

Zhang Yanjin smiled lightly and explained: "Even if you jump on it, these red bricks will not fall down."

Chen Su muttered: "It's so amazing..." He looked up again worriedly, and after finding that there was really no problem, he began to look at other places.

Since there is no decoration in the room, there is nothing else except a fireplace below.

Zhang Yanjin briefly explained to Chen Su, and then led Chen Su to the spiral staircase.

This house was designed by Zhang Yanjin according to the appearance of a modern villa. It has two floors in total, and there is a place reserved by Zhang Yanjin for the lawn and swimming pool outside.

When Chen Su saw Zhang Yanjin go up the stairs, he was a little scared but also a little curious, so he pressed on the handrail beside him and moved up step by step carefully.

After walking a few steps and seeing that there was indeed no problem, he finally boldly followed Zhang Yanjin all the way upstairs.

After following Zhang Yanjin around several rooms, Chen Su was full of admiration, he was completely overwhelmed by the novel design of this building.

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of room. I really didn't expect this room to be built like this. After you build it, can I come and live here for a while?" Turning around again, Chen Su caught up with Zhang Yanjin footsteps.

Zhang Yanjin was dumbfounded by Chen Su's novel reaction. Isn't this exactly his purpose?

Everyone sees that this characteristic town, in addition to driving Datong's economy, will not just make this house popular, and he will also be able to sell bricks at that time!

"Do you want it?" Zhang Yanjin answered irrelevantly.

Chen Su's eyes turned hot and he said, "Erlang, are you willing to give it to me?"

Just when Chen Su was about to hug Zhang Yanjin enthusiastically and say he was a good brother, he heard Zhang Yanjin say: "If you want to build this kind of house, you can pay my workers and hire me to design the house for you. There is such a house."

Chen Su sighed angrily, "I thought you said you would give it to me, but I didn't expect..."

Zhang Yanjin ignored this whimsical guy at all, and turned around directly outside the villa. He had already started thinking about what to buy outside the villa.

In modern times, land is expensive and house prices are even more expensive. Wanting to have such a house so close to nature is simply whimsical. I didn't expect him to realize it so easily in this era.

"The back eaves of the elm and willow shade, the front of the peach and plum hall. It is warm in the distant village, and the smoke in Yiyixu. In the deep alley, the dog is barking, and the mulberry tree is crowing..." Zhang Yanjin stared at the gradually darkening mountain scenery, with the corners of his lips slightly curved.

At this time, Chen Su, who lingers and forgets to return, is envious of Zhang Yanjin for having such a good place. He didn't even listen to what Zhang Yanjin said, so he waved his hands and said, "Don't be so bitter like those literati..."

He paused and said, "Erlang, how much money do you say, and you will arrange for someone to build me a building when the time comes!"

If he had such a house in Chang'an City, how free would he be?How many of the disciples of Chang'an City envy him?

It seems that Zhang Yanjin only took a few months to build this house, so wouldn't he be able to have his own house without waiting for the scorching heat?

But his dream was soon broken by Zhang Yanjin's ruthless words.

Zhang Yanjin looked at the hot Chen Su coolly and said: "I presented the red bricks to the emperor during the congratulations on the first day of the lunar new year. After the emperor knows that there is no problem with my house, he should let me give it to him in Chang'an City." Build another palace, when the time comes..."

Zhang Yanjin shrugged and didn't finish the sentence, but the meaning was already very clear.That is, Chen Su, if you want to build your house, you have to wait until the year of the monkey.

He remembered that in history, the Great Wei Dynasty did build another majestic palace covering an area of ​​more than 3000 square meters, which was four times larger than the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in later generations. It was known as the Palace of Thousand Palaces and was the most glorious palace of this era. The magnificent palace can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented.

It's a pity that in the long history, this famous palace of thousands of palaces at home and abroad has also turned into a pile of dust, leaving only a ruin with an empty forehead and a foundation.

I don't know if he came to this era by accident, can he witness the splendor of the Palace of Thousand Palaces with his own eyes?

"Then build another one for me when the emperor is finished!" Chen Su didn't feel that it was a pity to build the emperor first, and the emperor would naturally be in front of him.

What's more, for him, it is a supreme honor to build such a house behind the emperor.

Zhang Yanjin doesn't care, it's not that he doesn't take Chen Su's words to heart, but that according to the historical process, if the emperor really started to build a majestic Yong'an Palace in the past few years, then he really doesn't know when he will be able to build this majestic Yong'an Palace. The palace is built.

The emperor's large-scale construction of Yong'an Palace was not for enjoyment, but because there was a problem with the current palace, Daxing Palace.

Daxing Palace is the palace where the emperors of the first two dynasties lived. Since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, they have lived in Daxing Palace.The grand palace of Daxing Palace is located in the encirclement of green dragon, white tiger, vermilion bird and Xuanwu. The dragon and tiger are surrounded by love, and there is a jade belt wrapped around the waist in front of the river, and there are facing mountains on the side bank, which can be described as excellent Fengshui.

It is rumored that when the Daxing Palace was first built, it was chosen according to the Tianyuan Nine Star Jue and the Book of Changes. , Prosper endless career.

It’s just that the Fengshui masters at that time ignored a problem, that is, although the location where Daxing Palace was built had good Fengshui, it was located in the lowest point of Chang’an City. It was humid and hot in summer, and cold and cold in winter. The emperor would be so happy when Zhang Yanjin offered charcoal, hand warmers and other things to the emperor.

At this time, red bricks were invented by him in advance. If the emperor builds the Yong'an Palace again, he will definitely use red bricks. For him, it must be a huge income. Come on!

Back at night, Zhang Yanjin and Chen Su ate hot pot again and chatted for a long time before going to sleep.

After breakfast the next day, Zhang Yanjin sat cross-legged on the slum, seeing more and more pulverized coal left in the coal mine. Cinder blocks are fine.

But this spring is coming soon, if a rain falls, if the coal powder and small coal slag cannot be covered in time, I don’t know how many coal powder and small coal slag will be washed away.

Zhang Yanjin sighed, he was exhausted.

It's not impossible, just mix these things together and make briquettes!Originally, Zhang Yanjin didn't plan to buy this thing, because now his coal is still too little for heating furnaces and factories. Where can there be any output for honeycomb coal? Once honeycomb coal is implemented, it will be needed by every household. This market, Zhang Yanjin originally I want to get it after other saturation.

Now, Zhang Yanjin didn't want to waste it, so he just tossed it out. After all, things were in his hands, and he had the final say on when to push them out. Therefore, he was going to draw the structural diagram of the honeycomb coal.

The construction of briquettes is not difficult. He remembers that after mixing these coal powder, small coal slag, yellow mud or red mud, and charcoal powder, he added some combustion aids and made it into a cylindrical shape. , and poke a few holes on it, and a briquette is made.

This not only saves coal, but also makes the briquette easier to burn and more powerful because of the increased contact area between coal and air.

More importantly, these coal powders and small coal slags are not easy to clean, and the sulfur in them cannot be effectively removed at all. But after they are made into briquettes and mixed with those things, the sulfur dioxide emitted can be greatly reduced, and it is not easy to poison people. .
