Liu Zheng was startled.

This teacher's ceremony is really a bit big.

King Jin insisted on teaching etiquette and apologized for his neglect in the past few days.

"Quick, quick, quick, this can't be done, it can't be done!"

King Wei and King Yong looked at each other in surprise and hurriedly came up to help him.

It was said in ancient times that a master is a teacher, and this is true. But after all, their identities are so different. King Jin's attitude is still surprising.

I can tell.

He has actually been thinking about the future development of Jinzhou.

Liu Zheng's theories this time really made him feel like a spring breeze and enlightenment.

Jinzhou is definitely one of the few in Longyan, with its economic foundation, public opinion foundation, and cultural foundation.

When Xie Tianyao was in his dying years, every vassal king would consider it.

How to get to your own territory?

How to establish a world?

How to protect yourself when the world is in chaos, and maybe even conquer the Central Plains.

now.

He saw a broad road.

In the past, he gathered all the literary giants in Jinzhou, but not even one person could point out the problems in Jinzhou. How to improve it?

Great talent.

This Minister Liu is definitely a great talent!

He wished he could stay in Jinzhou and treat such a person as a distinguished guest!

What's ridiculous is that when I greeted him, I was humiliated and ridiculed...

Great talent!

However, his eyes are on Liaodong.

Seeing how stubborn the King of Jin was, Liu Zheng could only smile bitterly and said: "If the King of Jin defeats Liu Zheng like this again, then I can only lead my troops northward, and I will not dare to stay in Jinzhou for a moment!"

When King Jin heard this, he jumped up quickly and came over with a wry smile: "I have no face to face so many people. However, Jinzhou is indeed seriously ill. I hope Liu Shilang will come to rescue him!"

The four of them met and laughed.

This time.

Only by inviting Liu Zheng and others to a banquet again can we really show some sincerity. Good wine, delicious food, and private dishes.

There was no one else around him, only King Jin and a confidant beside him.

At first, under the refusal of several people, he insisted on pouring wine for several people respectively. Then he returned to his seat, looked at Liu Zheng and said with a smile: "Liu Shilang, can you speak?"

Liu Zheng laughed dumbly, shook his head and said: "What needs to be said has been said. If King Jin asks again, it will be about how to implement it, right?"

King Jin's eyes lit up and he nodded frequently.

Liu Zheng chuckled and waved his hand. Naturally, there were several book boys beside him, bringing them pens, ink, paper and inkstones.

Taking advantage of the drunkenness, Liu Zheng stood up and started writing with great ease.

A pair of stunning regular scripts appeared on the paper.

"good!"

"Good words!"

Several people exclaimed at the same time.

This is not intended to be flattering. Today, the most popular fonts in the Longyan Dynasty are regular script and seal script. Although Xingkai was popular for a while, it soon disappeared. Liu Zheng felt that perhaps because of the lack of Wei and Jin culture in this world, the creativity of the Jin literati who had been popular for many years at that time disappeared in the long river of history.

But in his previous life, he had practiced Xingkai since he was a child, and it was still Wang Xizhi’s Xingkai!

Writing this down will naturally make people’s eyes light up.

“Appropriate money, create an athletic department, popularize athletics.”

This is the first one.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

As expected of Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Sports, the first priority is to promote his own sports.

“Appropriate funds and develop resources!”

This one.

This made King Jin frown.

Development Resources?

What resources does Jinju have? Yes, in Datong, there are iron ore and silver mines. But these have been under development.

Liu Zheng ignored his questions.

He continued: "Appropriate funds, attract investment, and introduce various large and small workshops!"

"Appropriate funds to encourage private scientific and technological progress, inventions and creations!"

"Appropriate money, establish a school, and build a college!"

"Appropriation..."

There are more than a dozen items in a row, all of which are appropriations.

Fortunately, King Jin is indeed rich and a rich man.

At this stage, as long as money can solve things, it’s no big deal!

Effortlessly.

More than a dozen specific policies were completed in this way.

The King of Jin held these works and laughed loudly: "Shilang Liu's calligraphy treasures are rare treasures! Hang them alone in the main hall of the study, and look at them every day!"

Liu Zheng repeatedly said he did not dare.

But King Yong joked: "Not to mention, I don't have one of Liu Zheng's calligraphy works. How about King Jin give it to me and I can make a rubbing for you later?"

"You damn fat man, get out of here!"

"Ha, King Jin is probably more important than me, elder brother, don't talk about second brother!"

Since then, the previous atmosphere of looking down on each other and ridiculing each other has become much more harmonious.

Liu Zheng and others also breathed a sigh of relief.

The position of King Jin, a branch of the Xie family, in the Longyan Dynasty has always been unclear. In terms of positioning, he belongs to the old aristocracy. But he was very rich and looked like a nouveau riche. Even the King of Qin in the capital would not give him any face. He has never participated in the battle for the right to be the heir.

He also looked down upon the scholar-bureaucrats.

In his eyes, the rich Jiangnan people who were scholar-bureaucrats were still "barbarians" from the south.

Not to mention the new aristocracy. It can be seen from the attitude of welcoming them on the first day this time.

so.

To put it bluntly, this is an egoist with a very firm stance!

In his eyes, there is only Jinzhou.

If you want Jinzhou to be good, I will play with you. Not only do I play with you, I can also give you a teacher's ceremony.

If not, get out of here!

Reality.

But people can live a good life by following him.

Is such a person good or bad?

Liu Zheng thinks, half and half.

He is a good vassal king, but due to the limited structure, it is impossible to participate in the future battles of the world.

Once the world is in chaos, Jinzhou will definitely be a piece of fish in the eyes of others. If it does not reform, it can only be slaughtered by others.

With his ears warm from the wine, King Jin finally took advantage of his drunkenness and let out a laugh: "It's just that, Minister Liu, I understand all these other government orders. But this resource development..."

coming!

Liu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief again, his heart in his throat again.

The real meat show is finally here.

King Yong and King Wei also looked at each other secretly.

This matter still has to be left to Liu Shilang to deceive, ah, no, it is a negotiation.

Liu Zheng gathered his thoughts and smiled faintly: "King Jin, autumn and winter are approaching. Liu Zheng would like to ask, how do the people of Jinzhou spend the winter?"

King Jin was stunned and laughed: "Of course most of them are charcoal braziers!"

Liu Zheng continued to ask: "What about ordinary people?"

"this……"

King Jin was asked.

because.

In the Longyan Dynasty, coal resources were strictly controlled! Belongs to national strategic resources! In previous history, coal entered daily life in the Northern Song Dynasty, when it was called "coal"! However, the people at the bottom cannot afford it. The "coal monopoly" controls the coal resources and sells them uniformly by the government to make huge profits.

so.

Among the people, charcoal is the most commonly used.

but……

Charcoal, too, is expensive.

A price standard for reference: In the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the price of wheat for Xiang, Xu, Jingnan and others was twelve cents per dou, and the price of rice was thirty cents per dou. The winter was very cold that year, and people could not bear it. Next, the government "distributed half a million charcoal", took out some of the charcoal under its control, and put it on the market at half price. People rushed to buy, and as a result, a tragic incident occurred!

During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, those who could use coal for heating were still mainly palaces, royal families, government officials and officials.

What about the people?

There is only one way other than expensive charcoal.

Burn firewood.

In fact, until the 1980s in Liu Zheng's previous life, many rural areas in northern China still did not have enough firewood for heating. A 1981 survey report revealed that in Heilongjiang, which is rich in forest resources, "two-thirds of the farmers in the province lack living resources." Hailun County in the province is a typical example.

so.

If you want to go to Liaodong, the heating problem must be solved.

If we want to launch an industrial revolution in Liaodong, the coal issue must be overcome.

King Jin looked at the silent Liu Zheng and thought for a moment.

Suddenly his face changed drastically: "What Liu Shilang said was coal?"
