Not only did Ying Zheng not believe it, but even Xiao Zhengtai's prospective father-in-law, Wang Ben, shook his head.
The fire on the top of the mountain is gradually extinguishing visible to the naked eye. Without the help of gods, it is absolutely impossible!
"Father, you are really right, this mountain fire was extinguished by itself!"
Ying Feiyu smiled confidently.
"I extinguished it by myself? How is this possible? I'm not that old yet!"
Ying Zheng curled his lips.
"The fire was so fierce last night, let alone putting out the fire, even if you get even a little closer, your flesh will hurt! And the smoke is billowing, and the soldiers can't even open their eyes. How to put out the fire? Forcing them to rush in, that is Harm them!"
Ying Feiyu briefly described the situation last night.
In fact, the fire last night was much more powerful than he described!
"Then what does your boy mean by asking them to cut down trees?"
"The fire needs combustibles to continue to spread! I asked the soldiers to go to a distance and cut down all the flowers, plants and trees around them. Without the combustibles, the fire will naturally be extinguished when it reaches here! In this way, it will be extinguished. Fire, and it can ensure the safety of the soldiers, I really don’t know what I did wrong, so my father is so angry that he wants to settle the score with him!”
After saying that, Ying Feiyu directly hugged his shoulders and pretended to be angry.
"Oh! So that's it!"
After hearing his explanation, Ying Zheng and the veterans suddenly realized.
"His Royal Highness is so smart that he can think of such a way to put out fires!"
"Yes! If it were us, we would have no choice but to use branches to attack it and water to water it!"
"No! The fire was so big last night. If we use our method, I'm afraid it won't be extinguished even now!"
"It took us a long time, but we misunderstood His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"His Royal Highness is indeed wise, and everything he does is for the sake of our people of Great Qin...!"
After learning the real reason, the soldiers smiled happily and praised them repeatedly.
I used to think that His Highness the Crown Prince was young and ignorant and made wrong decisions!
Now it seems that they are the ones who are ignorant!
His Royal Highness is much smarter than them!
"Hahaha! Okay, you did a great job! I misunderstood!"
After Ying Zheng heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Father, don't worry. It won't take long for this fire to be extinguished!"
The isolation zone is very wide, and the fire will never reach the other side.
When those combustibles are burned out, the fire will naturally be extinguished!
"Well! Thanks to you, boy! Otherwise, I don't know how many soldiers would have been lost in this fire!"
Ying Zheng recalled that if this kid hadn't stopped him, he would have made the wrong decision.
"It seems that it will be necessary to train local governments on fire protection knowledge in the future!"
Through this incident, Ying Feiyu discovered that in this era, we know too little about fire protection.
This time it was a fire in Dongshan, but luckily he saw it and took corresponding measures in time.
If it happens in other counties, it’s unclear how serious the consequences will be!
"Well! It's up to you, kid!"
"I will write down all the fire-fighting methods and send them to local governments via telegraph machine, so that they can organize government officials and conduct drills!"
"Various ways to put out fires? How many methods do you know?"
Ying Zheng asked suspiciously.
"That's a lot! The specific fire extinguishing method should be selected based on the size of the fire, the location of the fire and the cause of the fire. Once the wrong method is used, not only will the fire not be extinguished, but it will increase the fire intensity!"
"Uh...it's so serious?"
Everyone gasped.
"Of course! Take electric fires as an example, water must not be used to pour them! Water itself is a conductor, which will cause greater danger!"
"There is also a fire in an oil pan. If the fire is small, there is no need to use water to put it out. Just cover the pot with a lid! If it leaves the air, it will be extinguished naturally...!"
Ying Feiyu simply gave a few examples.
"It turns out there are so many ways to put out fires!"
The veterans showed an open-minded expression and listened quietly to Ying Feiyu's explanation.
"Well! It seems that not only the government needs to study, but the people also need to study hard! After you write these things, you can also publish a copy in the newspaper! Let the people understand it!"
Ying Zheng stroked his beard and said with a serious face.
"Well! We really should let the common people know more about life! Are these things published in the name of the ministers or in the name of the imperial court?"
Ying Feiyu blinked and asked slightly confused.
"Is there any difference? Your kid is the crown prince of my country, Da Qin. Whoever publishes it in his name is not the same?"
"No, no, no, if it is published by my son, then the people will be grateful to my son in the future! If it is published in the name of the imperial court, after the people see it, the person they will be grateful to is you, the emperor! These two have the same essence The difference!"
"Forehead……"
Ying Zheng really didn't think so much, he just felt that the people should know more about this aspect.
Once a fire does break out in your home, it’s best to take appropriate countermeasures!
But I didn’t expect that there are so many considerations in whose name you publish it!
"Publish it in my name! Haha!"
After thinking for a long time, Ying Zheng made up his mind.
That kid is very capable, and he will have many opportunities to make the people grateful in the future.
While I haven't reached the Zen position yet, I'd better do more things that are beneficial to the people, so that my name will go down in history in the future!
"Okay! I will tell the newspaper later that I will make it clear that my father cares about the people, so he spent money to publish it in the newspaper to let the people know about fire!"
Ying Feiyu nodded repeatedly without any hesitation.
"Yeah! Hahaha! Okay...!"
Ying Zheng couldn't help but laugh when he thought about what people would say about him after watching this.
Ke smiled and seemed to feel that something was not right, "Wait a minute, what did you just say? Spend money to publish in the newspaper?"
"That's right! The newspaper is the private property of my son! If the father wants to publish it in the name of the court, then he has to pay for it!"
Ying Feiyu smiled like a philistine.
"Forehead……"
Although Ying Zheng didn't know much about the newspaper's charging methods, he also knew that newspapers charged high fees.
A small area costs thousands of gold!
How much does it cost to spread fire knowledge in a long article?
"Father, don't worry. The imperial court will popularize knowledge among the people, and I will definitely give you a big discount!"
After these years of getting along, Ying Feiyu knows this old guy quite well.
Seeing him hesitate for a moment, Ying Feiyu knew what this old guy was thinking!
Make a statement immediately!
"Father, think about it, if people cause a fire due to lack of common sense and don't know how to put out the fire, causing the disaster to spread, the losses will be huge!"
Ying Feiyu spoke again, clarifying the pros and cons for Ying Zheng.
"Yes! Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said makes sense! Fire safety is something that everyone must understand and pay attention to. You can't just rely on the government!"
"Yes! For example, today's mountain fire, if it were not for His Royal Highness, it would not just be a simple loss of property!"
"I think it is necessary to publicize it in newspapers to let the people know more about fire...!"
The accompanying ministers all handed over their hands and proposed to publish it in the newspaper.
