Han Lin:? ? ?
what happened.
Why did the system suddenly give me a reward?
Are you saying that your style is extravagant?
What have I done?
Could it be because I stayed in an air-conditioned room and drank watermelon juice?
I am a majestic emperor, what’s wrong with enjoying my life? Is it wrong?
Complaints are complaints.
But this reward is still quite delicious.
long time ago,
There are dignitaries who build ice cellars.
And in the winter, ice cubes are stored in it.
Then take it out and use it in the summer.
only,
In this way of preservation, not many ice cubes can be preserved in the end.
Most will melt during storage.
it's good now,
Unlimited ice cubes are provided.
Then wouldn't he be able to build the entire palace into air-conditioned rooms?
It can even provide ice cubes to some ministers of the DPRK and China.
in the market,
You can also open some cold drink shops.
Cold drinks are available in the summer.
The moment I saw the reward, all kinds of thoughts came to my mind.
As for the air-conditioned room, it was called Hanliang Hall in the Tang Dynasty.
Different from the Han Dynasty, it was simple and crude to pile up ice cubes in the room.
Instead, a water-powered "fan car" is used to transport cold water to the roof of the main hall.
The accumulated water continuously flows down from the roof like a water curtain to build a simple air-conditioned room.
However, Han Lin felt that this method would make the room too humid.
So it is not used.
At this time,
The voice of Wang Gan, Minister of Industry, interrupted Han Lin's thoughts.
"Wang Qian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, pays homage to Your Majesty. I wonder why Your Majesty summoned this minister?"
Wang Qian knelt on the ground, extremely respectful.
"Ahem."
Han Lin coughed dryly and then said: "Wang Shangshu, do you think the temperature in my imperial study is cool?"
The pores dilated, feeling the slightest hint of coldness in the air.
Looking out the window at the scorching sun,
The sultry weather is like putting a person on top of charcoal fire.
The distance between a door,
Inside and outside the house, there are two seasons.
Wang Qian naturally knows this principle.
But the problem is that building an ice cellar and storing a large amount of ice will cost a lot of money.
Don't look at him as a minister.
But putting aside corruption, we really can’t afford to build such an ice cellar.
And it was because his former Minister of Industry and Industry had his house confiscated by Han Lin that he had the opportunity to rise to power.
Under such circumstances, how can one dare to commit corruption?
Wang Qian replied: "It is naturally very cool in your majesty's royal study. It is like a life-saving medicine in the hot summer. I just don't know why your majesty is asking about this matter?"
Han Lin showed a meaningful smile.
"I want to promote air-conditioned rooms like this to thousands of households."
"Let all the people no longer suffer from the scorching sun in summer."
"There is also this kind of cold drink, which can also be promoted..."
After listening to Han Lin's description.
Wang Ganren was stupid.
His Majesty,
Do you know that I really have to do what you said?
How many ice cubes do you consume every day?
Even if you keep all the ice cubes in winter without falling off, you can't afford to create them like this.
"Your Majesty, such a move will consume an astronomical amount of ice, and the court may not be able to afford it."
Han Lin confidently said: "Don't think so much, I have my own solution to the ice problem."
"I'll leave the cold drinks to you, and we'll start promoting them tomorrow."
"As for the establishment of air-conditioned rooms, the specific price still needs to be carefully discussed, as well as the subsequent price of ice cubes."
According to Han Lin’s idea,
The price of remodeling an air-conditioned room fluctuates based on the room size of each household.
Or,
All the houses in Linzi City were demolished and rebuilt.
Han Lin was troubled by the dilapidated houses.
It would be better to follow the pattern of later generations and build all residential buildings with three or four floors.
It is also cheaper to install air-conditioned rooms in this way.
As for daily use, ice cubes are naturally consumed.
When the time comes, let them approach the imperial court to purchase it.
Anyway, I have an inexhaustible supply of ice cubes.
Set a slightly lower price so that ordinary people won't be able to use it.
And it can be installed together with the stove.
By then the house will be warm in winter and cool in summer.
Thinking of this, Han Lin was moved by his thoughts. I was really worried about the lives of thousands of families.
Of course,
These are not the reasons why Han Lin came to Wang Qian.
Mainly because the system suddenly gave him a reward, which gave him many new ideas.
Back to topic,
Han Lin said sternly: "The matter of the air-conditioned room has been settled. I came to you this time just to talk about the reconstruction of the palace."
"Also, I intend to build a Golden Bird Tower to trap all the beauties in the world for me to play in. What do you think?"
Renovating the palace is understandable.
After all, we just experienced a fire not long ago.
But you want to build the Jinque Tower, and you blatantly say that you will snare the beauties from all over the world.
Isn’t it too......
Wang Qian no longer knew what to say.
He was still wondering just now,
How can this emperor have time to worry about whether others will be too hot in summer?
He also kindly helped them build a cooling room.
Now he understands,
Jinque Terrace is the real purpose.
Roads were built, houses were renovated and now a palace was built.
Each of these projects,
I don’t know how much manpower and material resources it will cost.
As a result, you actually want to build a golden bird platform for your fun.
"Your Majesty, the Gyeonggi region has recruited 150,000 civilians to build roads. Counting other projects, the monthly expenses are already astronomical. If we continue to build large-scale construction projects, the national treasury will not be able to support it."
Wang Qian said with a bitter look on his face.
"Expenses?"
"What expenses?"
Han Lin said disdainfully: "If you have no money, just print it for me. Isn't it true that you can get as much money as you want?"
Wang Ganren was stupid.
Although when the new currency was promoted, some people had already predicted that spam issuance of new currency would occur in the future.
But I didn’t expect that,
It’s only been a few days,
Han Lin has already thought about doing this.
Wang Qian persuaded with a sad face: "Your Majesty, you can't do it. If the new currency is issued randomly, it will definitely cause chaos in the market. Once the people lose their trust in the new currency, the entire Qi country will..."
Wang Qian no longer dared to speak any further.
After hearing this, Han Lin still had a nonchalant attitude.
"Of course I know the consequences of what you said."
"I already have a solution."
Wang Qian raised his head and asked curiously: "I wonder if your Majesty has any good ideas?"
"Your worry is nothing more than that there is too much money circulating in the market, causing prices to rise."
“But can’t we just get the money back?”
"The air-conditioned room just now is one of them. After promoting this matter, I plan to demolish all the old houses in Linzi City and rebuild them."
"Then sell these houses to the people, so that the money in their hands will be returned."
“If you are someone who already owns a house, you can just let them make up the money based on the specific price at that time.”
