The two girls quarreled very much, and Cheng Mo'er couldn't be clean, so he had to hide out and go to Anguo Mansion to drink tea and relax.

It's summer, the heating bureau has nothing to do, and Zhang Qing is also happy to be idle, and he doesn't often sit in the bureau. The two were drinking tea on the rockery pavilion in the garden, and the wind was blowing from all directions, which was unusually cool.

Cheng Mo said: "After the operation of Beijing heating last winter, it has been recognized, do you plan to let the heating out of the capital and do it all over the country?" ”

Zhang Qingyi patted his thigh and said, "Yes, why not." It's just that the firewood burns too much, I'm afraid that after a few years of cutting like this, the trees in Qinling will be cut down, hehe. ”

At the end, he laughed. After the heating began, there was an additional contingent of people who carried firewood into the city every evening, and these people were made up of the poor people in the capital. At the beginning of the establishment of the firewood cutting team, a notice was posted to let the people sign up freely, and the heating bureau provided tools and cars, and was paid according to each car of firewood.

Cheng Mo once said that the heating pipes should be spread all over the country, at that time, the heating bureau had not been skimmed, many people questioned his words, now in the capital, from the emperor to the people, have enjoyed the benefits of heating, and then put forward the words to let the people of the whole country enjoy the warm winter, it is no longer empty talk.

But he also knew that the problem of firewood and grass had to be solved, otherwise everything would be just on paper.

Cheng Mo said: "He Yu is coming back soon." ”

More than a year ago, He Yu went to Yulin Kancha Coal Mine, and finally had an eyebrow, yesterday Cheng Mo received a letter from him, saying that he had found several coal mountains, and asked Cheng Mo to ask for money and people, ready to mine.

Mining requires iron tools and young and strong laborers, and such a group of people gathered together is not allowed by the emperor. Iron tools can be used as weapons, and the organization of young and strong laborers is the army, which is the rhythm of rebellion every minute. Cheng Mo is now the king, and his identity is very sensitive, besides, he regards himself as an idle prince, if he says that he wants to mine, won't Liu Xun be suspicious? This is clearly showing that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and Liu Xun does not suspect that he wants to rebel.

But coal was the most advanced fuel for the Wu Dynasty, and without coal, the Qinling Mountains would be cut down sooner or later. The firewood needed for heating in the whole city of the capital is not the same as that of large households burning charcoal, and poor families can only be frozen, and the firewood needed is not the same.

Zhang Qing is the director of the heating bureau, and it is most suitable for him to play the fold.

After listening to Cheng Mo's plan, Zhang Qing's eyes lit up, and he said: "Fifth brother is saying, first please lay pipelines in all the prefectures and counties around the capital, so that the people in these areas can also enjoy heating, and then ask the imperial court to send troops to mine coal?" ”

Cheng Mo smiled and nodded.

"Fifth brother is clever." Zhang Qing gave a thumbs up.

Just do it, he immediately wrote a recital, and after writing it, he showed it to Cheng Mo, there was no problem, and he sent it to Weiyang Palace immediately.

Liu Xun has deeply experienced the benefits of borrowing warmth, and is very supportive, last year he also tried his best to override public opinion, the first to install pipes in Weiyang Palace and Jianzhang Palace, with practical actions to support Cheng Mo's heating pipeline plan.

After reading the twists and turns, he immediately announced that Zhang Qing had entered the palace and asked if this plan was feasible.

Zhang Qing did not hide it, saying that fuel is the biggest problem, and as long as the fuel is solved, the national heating is feasible.

"Let's go down first, Rong Zhen think about it." Liu Xun asked Zhang Qing to step down, sat quietly alone for half an hour, and then Xuan Chengmo entered the palace to discuss.

Cheng Mo said: "Your Majesty forgot, He 13 was ordered to find a coal mine, and Master Ji was ordered to study the train, as long as the location of the coal mine is determined, and then the railroad tracks are laid from there to the capital, the coal will be continuously transported to the capital, as long as the railroad tracks are laid all over the country, the coal can also be transported to the whole country." ”

Transportation has always been a big problem that needs to be solved urgently in all dynasties, in order to solve the problem of grain transportation, Emperor Yang of Sui did not hesitate to spend a huge amount of money and people's resources to dig through the Grand Canal, so that the world is turbulent, and the last death of the country is inseparable from this.

Wouldn't it be a great joy if the railroad tracks could be laid to solve the transportation problem without shaking the country's foundation?

Liu Xunxi said: "He Shisankan has found the coal mine?" ”

Cheng Mo said: "Exactly." ”

Show Liu Xun the letter from He Yu, which said that it would take hundreds or thousands of people to mine a mine.

With so many people, it is not difficult to organize and make trouble unexpectedly, and to take down the local state and county. Liu Xun read the letter and was silent. Cheng Mo didn't rush either.

After a while, Liu Xun put the letter on the imperial case and said, "Xiao Luzi, put on the tea set." He said to Cheng Mo again: "Big brother rarely enters the palace once, our brothers haven't drunk tea together for several days, spring tea has just arrived, big brother might as well try it." ”

After Cheng Mo gave himself a holiday, Liu Xun did not announce the summons, he would not enter the palace, and the number of times he entered the palace recently was indeed less.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Cheng Mo said with a smile: "The spring tea that His Majesty sent to my house, I drank it well." ”

Can it not be delicious, it is tribute tea, a total of only a few catties, and a close minister like Cheng Mo in the emperor's heart can be rewarded, and an important minister like Bingji can't drink it.

Recently, Liu Xun criticized the performance, and he could only drink tea alone, which was inevitably boring, but now that he is accompanied by Cheng Mo, his interest is much higher.

In the fragrance of tea, Liu Xun talked about Xu Wan: "This girl really broke her sister's heart, and she went to your house recently, and she didn't cause you less trouble, right?" ”

Recently, Xu Pingjun was not in a bad mood for his sister's affairs, even he suffered from the disaster of pond fish, thinking that this little devil ran to Cheng Mo's mansion, he felt related, fortunately, the little girl refused to live in Jianzhang Palace, otherwise he would definitely not be able to live in peace.

Cheng Mo said: "It's okay." ”

What else can he say besides those two words? If Liu Xun and his wife learned that the little girl liked him, I don't know how they would feel.

Liu Xun said: "Xiaojun wants the eldest brother to persuade her, according to me, she still has no heart, and when she accepts her heart, she naturally wants to get married, but she is not in a hurry." ”

With Xu Wan's temperament, if she wants to get married, how can she hide her armpits, and she will definitely make trouble until the elders in the family agree.

Cheng Mo lowered his head and drank tea, not daring to say a word.

came out of the Xuanshu Hall and wandered outside for a long time before Cheng Mo returned home. As soon as he entered the door of the Moon Cave, he heard Xu Wan's angry scolding, Cheng Mo shook his head, and was about to take a detour, when suddenly a person rushed out of the oblique stab, threw himself into his arms, and shouted: "Ah Lang save me." ”

Hua Jin'er ran with sweat on her face.

Cheng Mo didn't have time to ask her what happened, Xu Wan chased after her, saw her in Cheng Mo's arms, was furious, and also pounced, hugged Cheng Mo, and said coquettishly: "Wulang!" ”

Cheng Mo: "......"

Hua Jin'er shouted: "Help, I'm being squashed." ”

Xu Wan said more and more coquettishly: "Wulang, where have you been, I miss you so much." ”

"Shameless." Hua Jin'er despised it.

Cheng Mo pushed them away and said, "Call Master." One by one, I sweated all over my body, and I went to bathe and then talked. He turned around and walked away. Behind him, there was the sound of two girls pinching each other.

He went back to the study, first replied to He Yu, and then went to see Huo Shuhan, her belly was already pregnant, and she walked in the yard every morning and evening.

Huo Shuhan smiled and said, "Wan'er told me that she likes you." ”
