Lao Zhu was quite surprised. He frowned and asked, "Anqing is not well-educated. What does she want from you?"
Empress Ma rolled her eyes at Lao Zhu and said in a somewhat reproachful tone: "Your Majesty, you left Han Du in a war-torn place like Liaodong. Anqing had just given birth to a child. It was a time of panic when Liu Shen had no master. She didn't come to see her. Me, who is she looking for?"
Hearing this, Lao Zhu said with a dissatisfied expression: "She is a woman, and since she has a child, she just needs to take good care of the child. Liaodong has been pacified, and there will be no danger where Han Du is, so what does she have to worry about?" "
Empress Ma sighed slightly, too lazy to talk to him about Anqing anymore, so she could only continue her previous question:
"Why on earth did the emperor think of letting Han Du stay in Liaodong?"
After hearing this, a proud look suddenly appeared on Lao Zhu's face. He put aside the Anqing matter and said with a smile: "At the beginning, I just thought that Liaodong had just been pacified and the situation was complicated. Fu Youde might not be able to cope with it. And Han Du had a weird idea. There are many, plus he has ideas for the future development of Liaodong, so I asked him to stay."
After pausing for a few breaths, Lao Zhu sighed: "But even I didn't expect that he could give me such a big surprise. If Liaodong is no longer a bitter and cold place, then it can really be like Han Du said, It has become a huge granary for the Ming Dynasty."
Seeing the emperor's uncontrollable admiration, Empress Ma lowered her head and glanced at the memorial, then raised her head and reminded: "Ying Guogong said that this fire kang is very beneficial to the people's winter. The emperor should issue an order as soon as possible to let the people know this. Something. Winter is coming soon, so get this thing up as soon as possible so that the people can survive the winter."
Lao Zhu nodded repeatedly when he heard this. When Queen Ma finished speaking, he added, "I think you should prepare one in the palace. Your legs feel uncomfortable in winter. Maybe with this fire kang, you can You have been spared the pain of the past years.”
Queen Ma was stunned when she heard this. She really hadn't thought of this just now. Now that I think about it, since the common people can sit on the fire bed, the palace can do it too. And with the palace taking the lead, maybe the people will trust this thing more.
Moreover, this was the emperor's wish, and Queen Ma had no reason to refuse.
Nodding slightly, he agreed, "Okay, according to the emperor's wishes, I will also get one in Kunning Palace. In the past, the emperor was reluctant to even light the stove out of thrift. Now that we have this thing, the emperor finally does not have to worry about the cost. too big."
"Hahaha, to tell you the truth, sister, I am indeed very satisfied with this."
Lao Zhu issued an order that night to let the people know how to make this fire kang.
The people in the capital learned the news immediately and immediately took action. First of all, this is the emperor's will, and he will definitely not lie to them. Lao Zhu's prestige in the hearts of the people is still very high. Secondly, since this was created by Marquis Zhenhai, it must be something good.
Now the common people have the idea that products produced by Zhenhaihou must be good.
Briquettes and coal stoves have long entered thousands of households. Now, which one of the people in the capital cannot have a nice sip of boiled water when they wake up in the morning? If this were done in the past, it would have been beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Boiling water in the morning takes time and effort, and consumes a lot of firewood. Over time, it is not a small sum of money. Only truly wealthy families can enjoy this kind of treatment.
But now, every household in Beijing can enjoy the day when hot water is available when they open their eyes.
Now that the Marquis of Zhenhai had made a fire kang, the people naturally took action and began to build the fire kang. Winter in the south is no better than in the north. Although the temperature is not as cold as in the north, the cold in the south is a magical attack. Ignores armor and penetrates every hole.
The weather is already cold now, and there are several heavy snowfalls in Beijing every year. Therefore, the people are in great need of the powerful winter equipment of the fire kang.
Moreover, the materials for this fire pit are also extremely simple. They are nothing more than bricks, wood, and soil. You can make it by yourself at no cost at all.
It's simple and easy to do. If you do it yourself, it won't cost much at all. All the people in the capital can afford it.
The people in the capital had great confidence in Han Du, so they were the first to make the fire bed.
In a wine shop, the diners chatted about the fire bed.
"Shopkeeper, have you set up a fire pit in your backyard?" someone asked in a friendly manner.
This is not the first time the shopkeeper has faced such a problem in the past few days. Although the question means the same thing every time, he is not annoyed at all and explains it to the diners seriously every time.
"Of course, the little old man can't trust anyone, and he can't trust the Marquis of Zhenhai. Besides, it doesn't take much effort to make this fire kang. On the second day after the emperor issued the decree, the little old man asked his work to get the fire kang out. .”
"That's true. What the Marquis of Zhenhai did was to take care of our people." At this time, another diner drank a drink suddenly and sighed.
When the person next to him saw it, he quickly smiled and asked: "Hey, it seems that this uncle must have bought Shibosi Securities, right? It seems that he must have made a lot of money?"
As the securities companies sold securities one after another, batch after batch of people were led to make a fortune. These people now almost worship Han Du and speak well of Han Du.
Therefore, as soon as this person spoke out, the people next to him started to make assumptions.
This man laughed dryly. He knew deeply that wealth should not be revealed, and he was unwilling to mention whether he had made a fortune or not. But what he said just now was out loud, and he couldn't take it back, so he had to say flatteringly: "I made a little, just a little. I don't have much money, it's just to make money for drinks."
Making money for drinking and drinking is naturally a modest statement, but making little money is also true.
This person originally wanted to expose the matter, but the people next to him obviously did not intend to let him go easily.
"Oh? From what I heard, brother, you have joined forces with someone to buy securities? I wonder if you are following Master Chang's path?"
The Master Chang that others call him is Chang Hao.
He missed an opportunity to buy securities and was worried that his tribe would try to steal his money, so he bought a house in the outer city. Although the money left in his hand was enough to buy another security, he was moved by the huge benefits he could get from the securities.
He was not willing to value the benefits so much and slip away in vain.
Then he thought about borrowing money from his tribe to buy securities. Of course, he couldn't go back and borrow money from his tribe again. But he can borrow money from others, as long as he pays them interest.
It's amazing that he raised the interest rate a little bit, so he didn't have to worry about no one being willing to lend him money.
Just under Chang Hao's idea, the first lever of Ming Dynasty appeared.
