Old Chen carried a stove with a strange shape that looked like a barrel and entered the palace, and then there was "honeycomb coal".

Emperor Fukang felt that Grandpa Chen's skills had declined. He was a sewing machine and liked to dig holes, but the holes of this "honeycomb coal" were not dense at all.

Zhao Zhen was so angry that his mouth was crooked. The child cheated the charcoal cost of the needle and took out these two ghost things. I don’t know what it was for?

However, Zhao Zhen was calm and had to calm down and continue to wait and see.

At some point, the peerless master Lao Chen personally became a fireman. He first put the easily lit firewood at the bottom in the patio of the back garden, ignited it, and then put the honeycomb coal of the appropriate size in it like a "piston" and opened the air inlet under the furnace.

The whistling cold wind blew, and after entering the furnace, it was equivalent to adding oxygen. Then, flames and smoke were quickly emitted along the honeycomb empty of the honeycomb coal.

Emperor Fukang thought that things that ignite the fire and smoke would explode, so he raised his hand to cover his ears, and was very nervous.

Influenced by the Emperor, Zhao Zhen was also startled and raised his hand to cover his ears. However, after thinking about it, he was still afraid that his baby daughter would be scared, so he had to use his big hands to cover his daughter's ears to give a second layer of protection. Zhao Zhen himself turned his head and half closed his eyes, ready to meet the harsh sound of firecrackers.

After waiting for a while, there was no movement. Old Chen said that this thing would not explode, so Zhao Zhen slapped the back of Emperor Fukang's head and said, "Little girl, scare me."

Emperor Fukang doesn't know how to mess with him, so he keeps watching with his head covered.

After a while, when the black honeycomb coal was really burning and no longer needed to rely on firewood, Emperor Ji clapped her hands and jumped, "It's burning, it's burning, this thing is easier to ignite than ordinary coal."

The keeper Old Chen smiled and said, "Yes, Emperor Ji is very smart."

Zhao Zhen observed it and still felt angry, pointing, "It's all coal, the child just fools me with this thing? It seems that there is an extra process, which consumes labor costs. Do I understand it correctly?"

General Manager Chen hurriedly said, "What Your Majesty is right, it's all coal. But this time the child is considered a waste utilization."

"Use waste? Tell me in detail." Zhao Zhen became interested.

Mr. Chen pipe: "In the past, the utilization rate of traditional coal mined by our dynasty was limited because it had to be made into pieces to sell during the mining process, but at the same time, many cinders could not be sold and used. Because those sand-like coals were put into the furnace, they were extinguished. This was because the entry of yang energy (oxygen) was blocked. Yang fire and Yang fire could not be burned without yang fire. So the coal sand in several major coal yards around Kaifeng Prefecture was waste and could only continue to be buried on the ground like sand."

Zhao Zhen was not confused, and said a little excitedly at the sound of it: "What do you mean is that Wang Rong thought of a way to glue coal sand together to form a form suitable for burning and heating? And designed this kind of coal sand special furnace?"

"That's right." Old Chen laughed, "This means that it's more coal used for heating without affecting traditional coal."

"How to solve the tax problem?" Zhao Zhen asked curiously while twisting his beard.

When Old Chen wanted to answer, Zhang Fangping came. Zhang Fangping glared at Old Chen, meaning that this is my business of Premier Zhang. You should step back quickly by eunuch.

So Old Chen had to keep silent.

"Xiagong Zhang is here just right, let me talk to you." Zhao Zhen said.

Zhang Fangping twisted his beard and smiled: "Officials, don't think about the issue of carbon tax for the time being. Wang Rong is also negotiating and coordinating with the relevant departments of our three departments. The temporary decision is to get through this severe cold first and then deal with it according to the situation. The current Song Dynasty rule only taxes coal blocks, and coal sand is not currently in the tax ranks."

Zhao Zhen was slightly stunned, thinking about other things.

Zhang Fangping said: "Maybe the government is worried about financial tensions, and will lose a tax source?"

"That's true." Zhao Zhen nodded.

Zhang Fangping said: "The government does not need to worry about it. It should not be worse for the time being. The coal tax will indeed be reduced, but the overall impact should not be great. Those who should use coal will continue to use coal, such as craftsmen, and traditional workshops' productive coal use, which cannot be reduced, nor can honeycomb coal be used. In the past, our country's insufficient mining technology led to insufficient supply and insufficient supply. Then the powerful and powerful participated in the rush to purchase, which will inevitably lead to a sharp rise in coal prices, which the people could hardly enjoy. In addition to this, Your Majesty cares about the people, and will use improperly after allocating charcoal and fire expenses every year, which is inefficient. Because in the face of coal tightness, it has been hyped up by merchants from all walks of life and has risen rapidly year by year, resulting in Your Majesty accelerating the allocation of money every year, but the drop in the bucket is not enough to keep warm."

After pausing, Zhang Fangping said: "That is to say, the court has raised hatred and His Majesty spent money, but the money mainly entered the pockets of relevant coal merchants. They merged carbon in summer through various means, causing coal tension and released it again during the peak period of coal use in winter. This is a common routine."

"Now, the old minister thinks that Wang Yun is smart enough. When he does not move his original market and power, he is equivalent to turning the coal that can be used in the Song Dynasty. People have honeycomb coal and do not participate in the rush to buy traditional high-end coal, and the people are less burdened. At the same time, because the number of people participating in the purchase decreases and the customer base decreases, the stockpiling businessmen are no longer in the rare goods and will sell them lower. In this way, what should be used is still in use, but the coal price will drop under this trend. Although it affects the carbon tax to a certain extent, this is more conducive to the reduction of the cost of various handicraft workshops and the reduction of costs in the craftsmanship supervisors, so as to maintain the development of various handicraft technologies in our Song Dynasty. These are Wang Yun's ideas and policy statements: maintain the status quo and suppress their rebound. After a three to five-year transition period, even the prices of many agricultural tools will drop in order to feed back to the country's foundation-agriculture."

This was the first time Zhao Zhen had seen the magical proposition of magic powers in the economic field. Although he was not clear about the child and did not know the right or wrong of the child, the emperor was still very excited and worriedly said: "Will it involve reforms and trigger a serious rebound?"

Zhang Fangping shook his head and said, "No one said the reform, the charcoal law is still the same. Only the little kid entered the coal industry as a 'garbage guy' and developed new projects. That's all. The court did not reform, and Wang Rong did not violate the law. The Song Dynasty rule they jointly formulated is still there, so Bao Zheng will definitely endorse the children. If such a thing is to be disturbed, then it should not be tolerated. There is no need for the official to come forward. Wang Rong will use Bao Zheng and send all the giant merchants who monopolize coal prices to the northwest to train Li Shen."

It's cruel enough.

But Zhao Zhen could only smile bitterly, thinking that it made sense. Because Bao Zheng really dared to do this, the group sentenced scholars last time was not fake. After Lao Bao found the reason, I could be chased and criticized endlessly, let alone those coal bosses? And this is not the emperor's intention to reform, and conservatives, including the Queen's family, could not find Bao Zheng's fault.

In short, Zhao Zhen felt that the Song Dynasty is enough now, and reforms are basically difficult to operate. There are too many people who dare not, and the group that is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the one who is responsible for the brunt of it is my relatives. Therefore, in addition to the honest officials, it is actually difficult for wise monarchs to make up for family affairs.

Because in the Song Dynasty, we could not take away what others already had, we could only find ways to find new things so that more people could have food to eat. This was the Song Dynasty. Fan Zhongyan wanted to get the wine and meat from the rich people to the bowls of the people, so he got into trouble.

The rules are that the wine and meat of the rich can only be cheaper, so that the smell of the rich can not be sold. This seems to be a Wang Rong-style reform? This is still a way to seize people's interests, but kill people without blood, boil frogs in warm water, and can attract the support of a large group of conservatives and legal factions.

"Haha... the trash guy, it's really appropriate." Emperor Fukang said happily: "Wang Rong's kid is not very good at updating. Zhang Xianggong is right, he is just a trash guy."

Zhao Zhen immediately said unhappily: "No, he is doing serious business, and he will naturally update when he has time. What kind of urges? He is now an official of the court, my minister, and not your book boy."

"O." Emperor Fukang pouted.

After thinking about it, Zhao Zhen said worriedly: "Although coal sand is now used for waste, these coal sand must be participated by a lot of manual participation. Will it be too low in efficiency? Only the working price will raise the coal price again?"

Zhang Fangping said: "No, Wang Rong came to the Sansi to discuss with me. This can instead solve the employment problem of a large group of unemployed vagrants and reduce the public security pressure in our important places. Wang Rong has successful experience in this regard. Many unemployed gangsters in Shuzhou were trained by him and participated in the tax production. Well, of course, his kid's methods of training and exploiting people are even more ruthless than those of the unscrupulous businessmen, but I suggest that the court can only treat it as invisible. As long as he can pass Bao Zheng's command and not be sued for slaves, he will go."

Zhao Zhen thought for a while and nodded frequently.
