Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1039: Nuan Tang (Part 1)!

"The ministers see your majesty! See the queen empress!"

In the Ganlu Hall, Li Zexuan saw that Li Er and Empress Changsun came out from the back of the hall together, he quickly narrowed his eyes and bowed to the two of them.

"Hmm! No gift!"

Li Er waved his hand, and then couldn't wait to get straight to the topic: "I heard that you are here to present the treasure, but why didn't I see the baby?"

Although Li Zexuan is young, he is a very small traitor, and it is usually difficult to take advantage of him. Now he has taken the initiative to "send it to the door". Li Er really wants to know what surprise Li Zexuan sent !

Li Zexuan said solemnly with a look on his face: "Your Majesty, the things sent by the minister today are a bit big, and they are still outside the hall. Please let your Majesty, your minister let someone carry it up!"

"Oh~? Hurry! Zhao Song, let people bring in the things that Yonganhou brought in!"

Li Er heard this and immediately said.

A bit big? He now wants to know what Li Zexuan brought!

Zhao Song led the way. After a while, he brought in a coal stove and a basket of briquettes with four eunuchs.

Li Er saw that the eunuchs brought up an iron bump and a basket of dark things, he couldn't help frowning, because these two things didn't look tall at all!

With a slight upset in his heart, Li Er walked down from above, looked at Li Zexuan with a bad look, and asked: "This is the baby you want to dedicate to me~? Huh? What a special charcoal stove!"

It was Li Er halfway talking, only to find that the stove was still burning, and he couldn't help but let out a shock.

Li Zexuan arched his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this is not a charcoal stove. This is a coal stove. Coal is burned in it!"

"Coal~? How can the coal fire be so strong~?"

Li Er is not the kind of imperial emperor who doesn't know the world, he frowned and didn't believe it.

At this moment, the grandson also walked down from above. She took a close look at the briquettes in the bamboo basket, and said after a moment: "Your Majesty, the briquettes that Yonganhou brought are so special! Every briquettes are the same size. , There are many pores of the same size in the middle. The concubine guesses that it is because of this that the coal fire in the furnace is so strong!"

Li Eryi was stunned. Then he turned his head and looked at the bamboo basket. He looked at the bamboo basket and asked: "Li Zexuan, what the queen said, what happened~?"

Li Zexuan folded his hands and smiled and said: "Back to your Majesty, the empress’s eyes are like torches. Indeed, as the empress said, the reason why the briquettes are so easy to ignite is because of their special structure! Because the briquettes are like honeycombs, they This kind of briquettes are called briquettes! The treasure that the minister gave to your majesty today is this coal stove and briquettes~!"

Li Er sank his heart at this time. He nodded and said: "It is indeed a treasure to be able to make useless coals into this flammable briquettes! In this way, the court may consider mining next year. A few coal mines are happy~! Just how do you make briquettes~?"

Seeing the briquettes, Li Er felt like he saw a pile of golden mountains. Datang has discovered many coal mines in the Hedong Road area, but because the raw coal is difficult to burn, the mining value is not great. But it's different now!

Li Zexuan said helplessly: "Your Majesty! This briquette is made by the minister breaking up the coal, supplemented by the binding material, and then molded by the mold! The minister today presented these two things to his majesty, one is to show his majesty the briquettes The advantage of uniting with the coal furnace is to discuss one thing with your majesty!"

"Advantages~? What are the advantages? Is it that the briquettes burn better than charcoal~?"

Li Er asked.

Li Zexuan told his mother and grandmother yesterday about the advantages of using briquettes to cook rice, and said again. Li Er had time to speak in the future, but the grandson could not help but exclaimed:

"Four pieces of briquettes can boil water and cook rice all day under a full fire? Are you serious in Yonganhou?"

Li Zexuan smiled and nodded and said: "It is true! And it is impossible for ordinary people to boil water and cook rice all day, so the actual consumption of briquettes must be less than this!"

"Haha! Good thing! This is really a good thing! Li Zexuan, I ask you, how much is the cost of briquettes and coal stoves~?"

Li Er heard this, and couldn't help feeling that briquettes were more convenient than coal. He laughed and asked.

Li Zexuan replied: "The cost of a briquette is less than a penny! As for a coal stove, it is about one hundred and fifty penny! But a coal stove can be used for at least five years!"

Li Er nodded and said: "Yes! Not bad! Cheap and practical! The people will definitely like it! This is really a treasure for the country and the people! Haha! I like it!"

Queen Changsun looked worried and said: "Your Majesty, honeycomb briquettes are cheap, but not everyone can afford this coal stove! If you want to promote coal stoves and honeycomb coal, I'm afraid there will be no Less difficulty!"

Li Er's face suddenly sank again. Obviously he also agreed with the words of the grandson empress~IndoMTL.com~Li Zexuan bowed and said: "The empress empress is extremely true! This is also the second time the minister came to look for her majesty today. Reason!"

Li Er's eyes sank and said: "You say it!"

"Your Majesty, it has only been more than ten years since Datang is stable. The price of charcoal in the eastern and western cities has remained high. Burning charcoal is no different to the common people! But the weather is cold in winter, except for boiling water and boiling. Outside of meals, most people still need a fire to keep warm! Chang'an, as the capital of Tang Dynasty, has many poor people freezing to death every year, let alone other remote areas. There will definitely be more people freezing to death!

Now that there are cheaper and more burn-resistant briquettes, the price of charcoal will definitely continue to drop! There will be more and more people who can afford coal! But for ordinary people, the price of coal stoves is indeed too high, but without coal stoves, the role of briquettes is extremely limited! And now in the big winter, many poor people are still suffering!

So, both briquettes and coal stoves must be promoted to the people together! Moreover, in order to help the people spend the winter, the ministers can sell briquettes and coal stoves to the poor people directly at the cost price without making any money! But the power of the minister is limited after all. Therefore, the minister has a small request, and I hope his majesty will allow it! "

Li Zexuan said slowly and sincerely.

Li Er heard this and was silent for a moment. He said: "It's hard for you to have this heart. I really didn't misunderstand you! In fact, since the beginning of winter, I have been thinking about how to avoid freezing and killing some people, but only in Chang'an. In a city, there are tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of impoverished and frozen people. The money from the national treasury cannot be used now. If you have a way, you can say it quickly! As long as the request is not excessive, I will allow it!"
