Chapter 633: Stove and Briquette
Qin Tian turned around and left.
Cheng Yanjin and the others were stunned.
"What's wrong with this kid, it can't be that he didn't listen, right?"
"We are also for his good, it is not a good thing to offend so many people, he is a smart person, you should understand."
"Leave him alone, drink, drink......"
In the Yiguo Mansion, everyone drank again, but in the hearts of each of them, they were suddenly a little uneasy, or rather, a little worried about Qin Tian, because they still knew Qin Tian and knew that he was not a person who easily surrendered.
It's just that for two days in a row, Qin Tian didn't mention this matter again, as if he had really given up on the matter of recruiting soldiers.
On the third day, at the end of the early dynasty, Qin Tian entered the imperial study, and when he entered the imperial study, he sent someone to bring in the things he had prepared early in the morning.
It was a stove and a cart of briquettes.
When Li Shimin saw these things, he was stunned for a moment.
"Qin Aiqing, what is this?"
Qin Tian smiled: "Holy Lord, isn't this the stove that the minister told you before, with this thing, you can save coal, and besides, cooking and heating are also okay." ”
Li Shimin looked left and right, not understanding how to use this thing at all, Qin Tiandao: "The minister will light the fire for the saint, and you will know." ”
After that, Qin Tianming found the things that ignited the fire, first lit these things under the stove, and then put the briquettes into the furnace from above, and there was only one briquette at first.
When the fire was almost burning, the briquettes in the stove turned fiery red.
Then, Qin Tian put in another briquette.
The briquettes are all perforated, so the fire is okay, and a pot of tea is put on it, and it boils quickly.
Qin Tian finished a series of things, and Li Shimin was greatly surprised.
"Good stuff, no smoke, and it saves coal, good, good."
Unwilling to spend a lot of money, and the imperial study is not good at making a carbon stove, then you can only use briquettes, Li Shimin really likes it after reading it.
"Qin Aiqing, how did this briquette come out, it looks really magical."
After seeing the shape of the briquettes, Li Shimin felt incredible, how could a piece of coal be made like this?
Qin Tiandao: "This is made with a mold, when it is made, the coal and water are mixed, and then shaped, and dried to use." ”
Li Shimin nodded and said, "Okay, if this thing is easy to use, let's produce it on a large scale, so that ordinary people can also use it." ”
In the past, the fire kang was very easy to use, but this thing cost money, except for the powerful and wealthy people who could afford it, ordinary people couldn't think of it, even if it was to burn firewood, it would have to be a lot of work.
Nowadays, the stove and briquettes are relatively more convenient and cheap, and ordinary people can afford to use them.
Hearing Li Shimin's words, Qin Tian nodded: "The Holy Lord is really merciful, for the sake of all the people, don't worry, the Holy Lord will soon order someone to make a large number of briquettes and sell them." ”
Coal is made into briquettes and sold, and the money for a piece may not be very much, but this thing depends on the quantity, and the amount goes up, and it adds up to a lot, and there is still a lot of profit margin.
Although there is no way to compare with a business like Drunken Beauty, it should not be a big problem to make a profit of thousands of dollars in one winter.
After the two of them finished speaking, Li Shimin ordered someone to warm a pot of drunken beauty, and after this warming, he ordered someone to make a few side dishes, and the two of them ate it.
"Qin Aiqing, I'm afraid that the recruitment system can't continue."
Qin Tian hadn't mentioned this matter for two days, Li Shimin felt that Qin Tian had given up, Qin Tian took a sip of wine from his wine glass, and said, "Holy Lord, it's not that it can't be carried out, this kind of thing can be done if you want to do it." ”
Hearing that Qin Tian hadn't given up yet, Li Shimin was a little surprised and said, "The ministers are opposed, how can we proceed?" ”
"Holy Lord, the conscription system cannot be reformed, so just use the government soldiers."
Li Shimin couldn't understand what he said, and said, "What does Qin Aiqing mean?" ”
"Shengshang, now that Datang is in such a situation, it is extremely in need of strong troops, so Shengshang can order all the soldiers from all over the country to assemble in the barracks and let them train for two years."
"Two years of training?" Li Shimin was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Qin Aiqing, if this is the case, then who cultivates the crops, will it be difficult to let the crops of these government soldiers become wasteland again?" ”
Qin Tian smiled lightly and said: "Shengshang, you also think this is not good, if these government soldiers receive two years of training, the crops will definitely not grow well, and the Shengshang is worried, not to mention those government soldiers, as well as those princes and county kings, they are afraid and worried, no one farms, what do they eat, what do they rely on to spend money?" ”
Saying this, Li Shimin suddenly understood that they were not unwilling to reform the conscription system, so they would use these government soldiers as conscription, so that they would not have anyone to farm.
To tell the truth, most of the fiefdoms of these princes and county dukes are cultivated by the government soldiers, and they will be obliged to farm for these state dukes, and in addition, the government soldiers themselves must also cultivate their own land.
But if all these soldiers are mobilized, then there will be fewer people to cultivate.
Although most of the state and county princes have business, their biggest annual income still comes from the land, who makes them have more land.
In comparison, the problem is much more serious.
"Saint, a room is too dark, if you say you want to tear down the window, some people disagree, but if you say you want to tear down the door, they may agree to you tear down the window, with the comparison, they naturally want to choose the one that will do the least damage to them, we just increase the recruitment system, and do not move their government soldiers, in comparison, this is much stronger than using their government soldiers for a long time."
Speaking of this, Qin Tian smiled again: "What's more, those government soldiers won't be willing, they have complaints, and those princes have to think about it." ”
After Qin Tian finished speaking, Li Shimin suddenly laughed heartily: "Qin Aiqing is really amazing, it's a shame that you can come up with such a way, well, how to say it, this method is a bit of a scoundrel, but it works very well." ”
Hearing Li Shimin's evaluation of his own methods, Qin Tian almost squirted out the wine he drank in his mouth, how could his own methods be scoundrels?
What a grievance.
"Holy Lord, do you think this is feasible?"
"It's feasible, tomorrow morning, you can bring this up."
Qin Tian smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "Holy Lord, the minister has already provoked the anger of the public, don't let the minister bring up this matter, otherwise the minister won't know how he died." ”
This method is obviously going to offend many people, Qin Tian doesn't dare to do it anymore, Li Shimin glanced at Qin Tian and said, "Are you also cowardly?" ”
"The minister has always been afraid of death."
Li Shimin pouted: "Then who do you think is suitable?" ”
