Chapter 856 Common Goal(1/2)
The person who came out to give advice was an elderly minister. He was stooped and his face was covered with age spots.
But his advice is very weighty.
Because he is Gao Qianshou, the supervisor of Qintian Prison.
The functions of Qin Tianjian are to observe celestial phenomena, calculate solar terms, formulate calendars, predict good and bad luck, and interpret visions.
In this era, people are superstitious about this.
Wherever there is a stone monument, where there is an earthquake, and even snowfall and rain can be related to good or bad luck.
This has been the case with emperors throughout the ages.
Qin Tian Jian Zheng was only a fifth-rank official, but his position was very important and he was deeply trusted by the emperor.
In many cases, the emperor had to listen to him.
This is professionalism.
Have a say in this.
The old supervisor said this, which made many people change their expressions.
Many people don’t know much about coal mines, but they probably know how they are mined.
Excavation of rocks, deep excavation and pumping of water are all necessary.
It is not an exaggeration to say that digging everywhere has caused the mountains and forests to shake. It is said that it has cut off the dragon's veins and ruined the destiny of the country.
Especially when Jian Zheng said it himself.
Don’t people still understand this kind of thing?
after that.
Another courtier stood up and agreed: "Once we let go, many coal mines will sprout up like bamboo shoots after a rain, which will make our land mottled and the green shade disappear. This is against the harmony of nature, destroys nature, and will harm the destiny of the country."
"
"Master Zhang's advice is excellent."
Guan Ning said: "The lifting of the coal ban and there will no longer be any restrictions is not a random act, but a relevant legal system must be formulated and supervised by the imperial court. We will not allow destruction and wanton mining!"
As a time traveler, Guan Ning naturally knows the disadvantages of this.
There is a saying that there is no one in the world who suffers as much as a coal man.
So specifications are necessary.
Moreover, mining is not that simple, the process is quite complex, and it is far from the scale of previous generations.
Thinking of this, Guan Ning said: "In addition, I will organize people to compile relevant teaching materials and set up special schools to cultivate relevant talents."
Hear this.
All the ministers looked at each other.
The advice not only did not make His Majesty give up his thoughts, but actually made him more determined.
A special school should be set up to teach coal mining?
One can imagine what extent it will reach in the future.
Once a person's thoughts are solidified, it is difficult to change.
They always believe that every place has its own unique Feng Shui geography, and coal mining will damage the earth's veins and break the Feng Shui, making the rise and fall of this place unpredictable.
In particular, Emperor Longjing also established a coal ban for such a long time, which was also a kind of ideological solidification.
For a time, there was a flood of remonstrances!
Many military generals even issued remonstrances.
Guan Ning also didn't expect that this was supposed to solve the urgent need for burning and heating, and was also a good thing to promote development in all aspects, but he didn't want to have so much opposition!
Most of the advice is that it will cut off the dragon's veins and destroy the destiny of the country.
Guan Ning was extremely annoyed by this.
He said calmly: "I would like to ask you ministers, it was Emperor Xizong who introduced the coal ban. During his tenure, a large number of official kilns and private kilns were closed. But has his fortune been saved?"
Hear this.
Everyone was silent.
This is a real example.
If Emperor Longjing had preserved his fortune and the fate of the country, he would not have had such a miserable end.
This evidence is indeed untenable.
"In the 21st year of Longjing's reign, we encountered a rare heavy snowstorm. The temperature dropped sharply and the cold swept across. Firewood was more expensive than rice. However, there was insufficient firewood and insufficient heating. I don't know how many people froze to death."
Guan Ning said in a deep voice: "Similar situations happen every year. Although there is a coal ban, there are still black kilns. Every winter, what do you use to heat your homes?"
No one spoke.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Guan Ning asked again.
There was still silence.
He was born in Zhenbei Prince's Mansion. He was originally from a wealthy family and had sufficient coal supply in winter.
The same is true for other eunuch families.
Coal only enters the homes of nobles, not the homes of ordinary people!
Guan Ning knows these things clearly.
That's why he wants to promote the application and development of coal so that people can have something to keep warm.
No one spoke anymore.
Qintian Supervisor Zheng Gao Qianshou wanted to say something else, but he couldn't.
Because there are examples in front of me, his theory does not hold true.
"There are limited places to store coal around Shangjing, and we have learned all about it over the years."
At this time Xue Qing stood up.
"If we comply with His Majesty's request, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet supply and demand."
He is the Minister of Household Affairs, so he naturally has to take these issues into consideration.
"Perhaps there are still unexplored places, but we haven't discovered them yet."
"Gao Qianshou."
"The old minister is here."
Supervisor Qin Tian is stepping forward.
"There should be many people in Qintian Prison who are familiar with geology and geography and can find out where the coal is stored."
Gao Qianshou:......
This was embarrassing, he already knew what His Majesty wanted him to do.
"Don't say no."
Qin Tian Jian is a very important department, and there are many talents in it.
Observing celestial phenomena, calculating solar terms, and formulating calendars were things that would have been done in previous lives, but they were experts.
There are also many people who are proficient in astronomy and geography.
It would be a pity to be placed in Qintian Prison as a magic stick.
"After the court meeting is over, you immediately organize these people to report to the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Guan Ning opened his mouth and said: "The Ministry of Household Affairs will set up a General Administration of Mines, which will be responsible for all related matters such as the establishment of coal mines, mining supervision and so on."
"The main thing is supervision. Even if restrictions are relaxed, it cannot be done arbitrarily. At the same time, it must also play a guiding role. The General Administration of Mines should have a department responsible for surveying. Once the personnel are in place, they will immediately start surveying and find the coal storage.
Land!"
These words made people's heads buzz again.
In a few words, a new department was established.
The General Administration of Mines is responsible for all coal mining matters.
Your Majesty is serious.
This matter really needs to be pushed forward with all our strength.
Taxation, business, mining.
Three new departments have been established today.
And these three aspects are all extremely profitable.
To be continued...
