ps: The first day of the best. Today is the fifth update. There is no way, just a few copies of the manuscripts are saved.

The title of the Admiral of the Nine Gates of Tondo has been replaced, but it is still Fulun'an.

He had already returned from Jinchuan, because the chieftain of the Great Jinchuan, Sonom could no longer withstand Agui's troops, and he surrendered at the beginning of the year. This marked the end of the victory of the Jinchuan Battle, which took more than five years, spent more than 70 million taels of silver, and killed and injured tens of thousands of officers and soldiers.

How could Qianlong treat the meritorious ministers unfairly when he was happy? Especially his son-in-law? Fulongan, who had just returned from the Jinchuan front line, was given the title of Minister of Works. Within a month, he was added to the title of Minister of War and was still in charge of the Ministry of Works. At the same time, Fulongan was still the Admiral of the Nine Gates who had real power.

That's much better than Agui.

Although the latter was also treated well by Emperor Qianlong and was named the First Class Heroic Duke, and was promoted to the co-organizer of the Grand Secretary, Minister of Personnel and Minister of Military Affairs. When the Qing army returned to the court, Emperor Qianlong even went to the suburbs of Nanliang Township, the capital to greet him. After entering the city, he "drunk the Ziguang Pavilion and performed the ultimate ritual", which can be said to be a very glorious moment for a while.

But before Agui could sit down his butt while sitting in the position of Minister of Personnel, Qianlong kicked him to Qilu and replaced Shuhede to lead the army to pacify the Qingshui Cultivation Army.

Because A Gui had just taken over, the news came from Wang Lun, and the latter had not felt any pressure for a while.

But Zhao Liang felt that in terms of war, Agui was better than Shuhede with his eyes closed!

It is not guaranteed that the hard days of Qingshui Sect will come!

But what was uncomfortable at this moment was Fulongan. As the admiral of the Nine Gates, he was naturally going to the scene. He was called up in the middle of the night, which made Fulongan feel frustrated. After seeing the grain store street turned into a sea of ​​fire, he couldn't help but sweat.

As one of the important grain distribution centers in the capital, the grain store street is directly related to the stability of grain prices in the entire capital.

Not to mention that this fire is burning vigorously, the food prices in the entire Yanjing City will surely become particularly prosperous after dawn!

The city inspector who came next to him told Fu Longan some of the news he had already obtained.

"What? Artificial arson?"

Fulongan had always thought that the Kang family had accidentally left the water.

"The fire started too fast and too strong, which was unreasonable. The guy in the store found that when the water was running, the raging fire had already swallowed up the entire front hall, which was obviously wrong."

"And Kang's family has always attached great importance to fire prevention in the grain store. The third master of the Kang family swears that there is absolutely no candle or oil lamp left in the front hall. Even if the water is gone, it cannot start from there! Unless someone deliberately sets fire..."

Although Zhao Liang did not leave any clues in his work, there were many smart people in the world who could still see something wrong.

"Where is there a suspect?"

Fulongan's face was filled with murderous aura. The junction of spring and summer was when the price of grain in the capital rose, but it was because the green and yellow were no longer available. And evil news came from the Grand Canal. The thief dared to take advantage of this time to commit such a horrifying case. He was really cut into pieces and couldn't relieve his regret.

The Censor of the City Survey suddenly lowered his head. He had no suspicion.

The fire covered all traces of crime, and the suspect was not sure that he had already run away in the mess just now.

Zhao Liang did run away at this time. He himself didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and he got into the crowd and ran away easily.

But it was precisely because of this that he felt uncomfortable again.

Those crying sounds are so miserable.

No one of the neighbors who was affected was as big as the Kang family. No matter whether they are kind or not, the fire has burned all their worth and lifelong hard work. How could the crying sound be miserable?

However, Zhao Liang has not lost money anymore, because for him now, it is just right to get out as soon as possible!

After running to a corner of Qianmen Street, Zhao Liang shone into the space and took off the guy on his body. Zhao Liang, who was idle, decided to find something for himself.

He can't stop being idle now, because when he is idle, he will think of the fire, and then think of the miserable cry...

It’s better to play coal balls!

He played with this thing when he was a child.

At that time, there were some people who spent money to buy honeycomb coal in the family yard, but many people who sold loose coal directly in the coal yard and made some yellow mud to stir up the big coal balls by themselves. Zhao Liang had it at home, and he had played with it himself, so he remembered it deeply!

I have drawn a sketch before, and the masters of the blacksmith shop have created a lot, and there are a batch of them stored in the space.

This man-powered coal-fired machine is like the previous account book. It is a gift from Zhao Liang to Heshen, but it takes a while for the coal-fired machine to be slightly cool.

As for whether this thing and honeycomb coal can spread in the current era, Zhao Liang has no doubt at all. Because he understands the psychology of the people very well, they will always look at any thing that can reduce their living costs with great enthusiasm.

Moreover, the coal prices in Beijing have risen too much in recent years.

More than ten years ago, the coal factory hammered the coal and made it into blocks. Each piece of 3 cents weighed two kilograms and twelve taels. More than ten years later, the price of a piece of coal was the same, but it weighed only one kilogram.

Since the Qing Dynasty, the price of coal in the capital has risen every year, but the Qianlong period has risen the fastest.

Coal is a necessity for millions of people's homes. Although the price is low, the sales volume is extremely large.

What about honeycomb coal? It needs to be mixed with yellow mud during production, which reduces the cost. And it may be super-saving with a coal stove, at least it saves much coal than the current stove. It is also very convenient to burn fire.

When Zhao Liang used honeycomb coal in his family in later generations, he often only used three or five coal balls a day.

When you open the damper of the coal stove in the morning, you don’t need to open the damper too much. Just use the fire to cook. Control it to prevent the coal balls from burning too fast. After cooking, close the damper and add a briquette. When cooking at noon, open the damper and continue to seal it after meals. Add another briquette. When you open the damper and cook in the evening, add another briquette. You can continue to boil water. When the water is enough, close the damper and add another briquette. The next morning you can open the damper and cook, and this cycle is made.

Not to mention that in China today, many people only have two meals a day, so don’t just say three meals a day so naturally.

Even if three meals a day were still justified during the Song and Ming dynasties, the Qing Dynasty only had two meals a day, even the royal family. Who told them to come out of the corner of the White Mountains and Black Water? The winter in the Northeast can freeze dogs to death, and the day is short and the night is long. Usually it is dawn at 7 o'clock, and it will be dark at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Therefore, they have a meal at around 9 a.m. and another meal at around 4 p.m. Because it is dark quickly at night and there is no TV to pass the time, they go to bed when they see it. Two meals on this day are a habit they formed when they are outside the pass.

Another reason is that the Qing rulers were making shows, and they paid special attention to showing their frugality to their subjects and striving to make the image of a "wise ruler".

Kang Mazi once said: "I have two meals a day. When I went out of the frontier, I ate one meal a day, and now the 14th Prince is leading troops outside." Kangxi said this to the Han ministers. He later said: "If the Han people can do this, the food for a day can be enough for two days. What's wrong?" The meaning is that if you Han people can be as frugal as our father and son, then you can eat for two days a day. How can you not do it?

Therefore, whether for living habits or political purposes, the habit of eating two meals a day by the Qing emperor must not be changed. Since the emperor only had two meals, the concubines in the harem must of course be ignorant.

But they will have a lot of snacks every day.

But many ordinary people don’t have such snacks. They really only have two meals a day (except for rich people). This will save coal.

And with this coal ball and coal stove, you can not only save a lot of coal, but even if you put it in the house at night and open the window a little, you don’t have to worry about calcination and death.

Lots of benefits!

I believe Heshen will be very satisfied when he sees this day. This is another major political achievement, right? Even if it is not as immediate as the silver dollar is cast, it is a real political achievement and good governance!
Chapter completed!
