Yang Bing held the brazier with coal washed out by himself, and ordered the guards to close the doors and windows, leaving only the chimney specifically for exhausting smoke.
Sitting in the room were Guan Shiru, the fourth prince and the old miner.
Yang Bing lit the coal in the basin and it started burning quickly. After half an hour, no one felt any discomfort.
This was enough to check that Shi Ru was so excited: "It's really not poisonous anymore!"
The fourth prince also gave a rare laugh: "It seems that Brother Yang has made another great contribution!"
Yang Bing smiled helplessly, thinking that this was the limitation of the times. The sulfur in the waste coal was the real killer of poisoning people.
In the past, when there was no coal washing technology, thousands of people would freeze to death in winter. Even wealthy families could only buy a limited amount of clean coal, because there was really only a small amount of clean coal in the mines.
"Old man, I have personally handed over to you the method of washing coal. From today on, I will not allow another commoner to freeze to death in Tongtian Pass! If it happens again, I will kill you!" Yang Bing looked at the old miner's actions. There was some prestige among the miners, so they gave the coal washing technology to the old miners.
After solving the heating problem, Yang Bing felt very comfortable, because if the heating problem was not solved, Wanguo City would not be able to develop a free trade zone.
Three days later, Ke Renguo sent an envoy to establish friendly relations with the Ming Dynasty, and Harz also sent a letter to Yang Bing: "Brother Yang, I have recovered my clan's territory, and everything is at your disposal."
Yang Bing put away the letter and said to Guan Shiru: "Laoguan, post a notice to cancel the curfew starting today, and declare to the outside world that Ke Renguo has established diplomatic relations with our Ming Dynasty!"
Guan Shiru's face was filled with a smile of joy, because Ke Renguo had already started to communicate with the Ming Dynasty, and other Tatar tribes would have trouble sooner or later. In this case, maybe it was really what the adults said, the Ming Dynasty From now on, there is no need to fear war on the border.
"By the way, sir, do you need to send a message to the surrounding small countries and tribes to ask them to come too?"
"No, when they see the benefits of Ke Renguo, they will come here themselves, and send some caravans to the South China Sea to buy rare and rare treasures. Of course, they can also exchange them for things unique to us here. "Yang Bing thought to himself, Lin Ziren, you are very powerful in the South China Sea, but I want to slowly assimilate your people!
After lunch, Yang Bing went to hang out on the city wall as usual. Looking at the city gate below, foreigners continued to come to Wanguo City, and Yang Bing felt happy.
"Bing'er!" Suddenly Yang Ruo's voice sounded behind Yang Bing. Yang Bing turned around and saw his sister and Wan Qi Ker standing on the steps of the city wall.
Behind him stood Luo Wen, dressed in black.
Yang Ruo ran over and hugged Yang Bing regardless of her image: "Sister, why are you here?"
Yang Bing didn't know that it was Yang Ruofei who asked Luo Wen to bring her with him. The conversation between Yang Xiyuan and Luo Wen that day was overheard by Yang Ruo. Just when Luo Wen was about to leave, Yang Ruo stalked her. He insisted on following, so Luo Wen had no choice but to take Yang Ruo with him.
"You brat, you didn't even give me a letter after such a big thing happened!" Yang Ruo can be said to be a standard disciple controller. When he learned that Yang Bing disappeared in Qiling Mountain and his life and death were unknown, Yang Ruo It can be said that it was like a bolt from the blue.
"Isn't this another decree from His Majesty?" Yang Bing chuckled and quickly invited Yang Ruo to his residence.
Now Yang Bing has a house in Kyoto and his own general mansion in Wanguo City. It can be said that he is in full swing.
The fourth prince Zhu Yun was called, and they had a simple lunch. The three girls, Wan Qi Ke'er, Yang Ruo and Wang Yuni, quickly became familiar with each other. Wan Qi Ke'er took the two of them in Wanguo Shopping in the city.
There were only the fourth prince, Luo Wen and Yang Bing left at the dinner table. Among the three of them, the relationship between Yang Bing and Luo Wen naturally had nothing to say, but the relationship between Yang Bing and the fourth prince could only be said to be pretty good, and nothing could be said about it. Not to mention Luo Wen, let alone Luo Wen, who only met the fourth prince a handful of times, so the three of them sat there awkwardly, no one knew what to say.
The fourth prince could tell that Luo Wen, as a subordinate of Yang Bing, had experienced turmoil for such a long time and must have many important things to discuss, so he found an excuse and left.
After Zhu Yun left, Luo Wenqing retreated from the four guards, then knelt on one knee and raised his hands above his head: "Young Master, the ANBU has stood up. This is the token personally issued by the Holy Master. I have always asked me to give it to you."
Yang Bing took the token, looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, it fits my aesthetic perfectly. Is there anything else you can say?"
Luo Wen raised his head and glanced at Yang Bing, then took out the box from his arms: "The master asked me to personally hand it over to the young master. I will tell you the contents and let you make your own decision." Luo Wen said this. At this time, the tone became obviously cautious.
Yang Bing frowned, wondering what the hell is the old man doing? But he still took the box.
As soon as the lid was opened, Yang Bing was shocked when he saw the special pattern of the imperial edict: "It's broken. It seems that it is not a very good thing to send the imperial edict in this way at this time."
Slowly unfolding the imperial edict, Yang Bing saw the few short lines inside. Although there were not many written words, just these few sentences could affect the world!
"It's true, it seems like it's a bit rash." Yang Bing couldn't help but muttered. After hearing this, Luo Wen wanted to come over and take a look in confusion, but Yang Bing scolded him: "Go away! You can't look at this." !”
Luo Wen smacked his lips: "Tsk, I mean, young master, it's different now that you've become a high official, and you can speak more powerfully than before."
Faced with Luo Wen's joke, Yang Bing smiled slightly. His mind was not here now. When he thought of the contents of the imperial edict, Yang Bing felt restless, not because he was afraid of being discovered by the traitor, but because he was afraid that when that time came, How should he deal with it? Is it really what the emperor said?
Abolish Zhu Di's position as crown prince and seize the throne himself? To be honest, this is not Yang Bing's behavior, but once that time comes, can he survive in troubled times and be alone?
Yang Bing got a headache when he thought of this: "This emperor is really capable of fixing things~"
"Luo Wen, how is the training of the Anbu now?" Yang Bing also thought about it. Since Zhu Yuanzhang has made such a plan, he must also prepare his own back-up in advance.
"Young Master, now the Anbu has recruited 335 people, and 150 people have been trained to be able to act independently. I brought fifty people with me this time."
"Well, okay, it's faster than I expected, but I have to be careful. The ANBU I want must be loyal to me alone. You can also say that I am a dead soldier. You must not sneak in other people's spies." ,Understand?"
"Yes, young master, don't worry about this. Many of them are veterans you commanded in Jincheng at that time, and some were selected from the black-armored guards. But most of them are homeless children who are found according to your requirements. I haven't reported these children to the prince yet." After following Yang Bing, Luo Wen also felt that Yang Bing would have a battle with the royal family in the future, so he hid some important things for Yang Bing. , take this ANBU as an example, both Zhu Yuanzhang and the prince knew of its existence, but when Luo Wen reported the number of ANBU to Zhu Yuanzhang and Prince Zhu Di, he only reported 150 people, and these 150 people They were all training in a place not far from Kyoto, and the remaining real ANBU elites were placed by Luo Wen in the place where Jizhou and Kyoto meet for training in secret.
It was Yang Bing's idea to find homeless children. Since he traveled through time, he has seen too many homeless children. They either starved to death, froze to death, or were beaten to death.
Yang Bing is not the Holy Mother. He cannot save them all, but he can give them the skills to survive and then hide them. When he needs it, this is a sharp blade that only belongs to Yang Bing.
"Okay, be nice to those children. Don't be too harsh on the training. Remember what I told you and train reasonably. They are also hard-working children. If it weren't for the current situation in the court, It's too dark, I won't use them. Keep them well fed and drinkable. If you need money, just tell me." After Yang Bing finished speaking, he took out a 10,000 tael silver note from his arms and handed it over. Luo Wen: "I'll give you these ten thousand taels of silver. Take it back to train ANBU properly. As for how to use it, you decide for yourself."
Luo Wen finally came to the City of All Nations, and as a close confidant of Yang Bing, he would not meet Yang Bing too many times in the next three years, so Yang Bing told him everything he should think of: "Luo Wen, from now on From now on, only you and I know about Anbu matters, even if it’s the old man, you can’t tell, you know!”
Luo Wen naturally understands this. He knows what Yang Bing did, and the fewer people know about it, the better. And the temper of his master Yang Xiyuan, if he knew that Yang Bing secretly cultivated ANBU as his death soldier, he would definitely He would be furious, and then he would ask Yang Bing to go before the emperor to plead guilty.
"By the way, Young Master, the Holy One asked me to come here this time, and he also said something." After Luo Wen finished speaking, he glanced outside, and after seeing no one around, he whispered to Yang Bing: "Young Master, the Holy One has asked me to come here." As I said, from the moment you get the ANBU command token, the ANBU people have the same imperial authority as the Jin Yiwei, and they will be killed first and then reported."
Yang Bing nodded. This was the result he wanted. Kill first and then report. The imperial power charter can be said to be the highest standard rule of the Ming Dynasty. Without this power before, Yang Bing would have to restrain his hands to do anything. But now with this With power, Yang Bing does not need to report things one by one.
For example, in the case of Lin Feng, if Yang Bing had this privilege, Yang Bing might have chopped off Lin Feng's head the day after Lin Feng found someone to assassinate him.
"His Majesty asked you, young master, to secretly strangle the Japanese spies, which can be regarded as letting the ANBU see blood." Luo Wen fully conveyed the emperor's intention to Yang Bing.
