As time goes by, gradually, everyone who should know inside and outside Chang'an, up and down, knows it.

"You can't eat raw water!"

"There is a Gu in raw water, and it will not be boiling but eat. In the mild case, the epidemic will be plagued by the disease, and in the worst case, the family will be destroyed and the people will be killed!"

"Last year, Zhang Erlang in Xianyang took a sip of the raw water from the Wei River, but it was gone for three days..."

According to the theory of witchcraft, the blessing of 20 or 30 years of influence, even the illiterate slaves in Chang'an City and the lowest-level Guizhou leader have heard of the theory of witchcraft killing invisible.

Now, naturally, I hear the Gu change color.

As a result, the price of charcoal in Chang'an rose, and it rose to a point of three hundred coins per stone in two or three days!

It has increased four or five times more than the previous price!

Except for wealthy families, most people really can’t afford it!

If it weren't for the beginning of winter that a cold-proof bed called "Shizhong Bed" began to become popular quietly, causing the heating demand in Chang'an to drop a little, I'm afraid it would cost more than 300 yuan!

The soaring price of charcoal has also made this simple and effective bed form popular quickly.

The masons and carpenters received countless orders one after another, and were extremely happy.

The undercurrent quietly surged.

The pressure first came to Jingzhao Yin.

More than a month ago, Jingzhaoyi had a major blood change.

The entire middle and high-level buildings were almost wiped out.

Only five officials with more than 600 stones escaped the disaster.

Although, these vacancies were quickly filled.

But this also made Jingzhao Yin the most vulnerable and most easily influenced by the officials below.

But for a long time, the impression given by Jiyan is that he is loyal and diligent.

Simplicity means honesty!

Honest people are of course the best bully!

So, when Yu Jiyan woke up, he found that the entire Chang'an official office in Jingzhaoyi was already full of anger.

Petitions fell on his desk like raindrops.

Without exception, they were all "please give charcoal to sympathize with the officials", and they were all extremely miserable.

What about "We are vulgar officials, but fortunately, Ming Gong refused to abandon them and used them as officials." They were all loyal and loyal. For several years, they have not avoided the cold and heat, and have been promoted by Ming Gong without any resentment." However, "the salary is shallow and it is difficult to support the family." Now there is no charcoal cooking at home, and the whole family is unable to extricate the blame.

Therefore, "Dare to ask Duke Ming to be sympathetic to the officials" simply means to ask for benefits.

And they are given fuel monthly.

otherwise……

Although no one said it clearly, the subtext was about to come out.

Yu Jiyan looked at him and his eyes were pounding and his heart was thumping.

He immediately summoned the newly appointed Jingzhao Yicheng Ma Xuan and asked, "How much money and food are there in the official account book now?"

How did Ma Xuan know about this?

He has only been in office for only one month, to be precise, it is about twenty days. Twenty days ago, he was still the princess in Hongnong County!

However, as an official, Ma Xuan knew very well and must not let Shangguan know that you actually don’t know. Although this is a very confusing word, it is indeed the law of survival in the officialdom.

Therefore, after just thinking about it, Ma Xuan said, "Report to Mingfu, the following officials know that there are probably less than tens of millions..."

"Why is it so little?" Yu Jiyan immediately swallowed his saliva suddenly. According to common sense, shouldn't Jingzhaoyi have at least 30 to 50 million yuan as an emergency reserve?

"The great court has just passed less than a month, and welcoming and seeing off the trip has already cost most of the finance and taxation..." Ma Xuan sighed: "In addition, the Guanzhong drought last year, all the people lost their harvest, and few people could pay the autumn taxes..."

"What should I do?" Yu Jiyan was panicked.

Ten million yuan?

It will only be enough to buy 30,000 stones of charcoal, but I am afraid it will not be able to bear it for two or three months!

What's more, if all the money is spent, if something happens, wouldn't he, Jingzhao Yin, have to explain to the emperor why Jingzhao Yin's treasury is out of money?

"For the sake of the current plan, Mingfu should go and ask for a meeting with Shizhong Zhang..." Ma Xuan looked at Yu Jiyan and encouraged him: "Maybe Shizhong Gong, there is a way..."

Yu Jiyan also sighed and said, "That's all..."

………………………………

In Jianzhang Palace, Zhang Yue lifted up the ribbon, followed Guo Rang, and walked into the inner hall.

Suddenly, several pairs of eyes looked over.

Zhang Yue didn't even have to look up to know who the owners of these eyes were?

The guardian Gongsun Yi, the guardian servant Shangguan Jie, the great master Dai Ren, and the guardian Shuiheng Duwei led the coin and the supervisor Wangxuan.

Except for Wang Xuan, who has been staying in Shanglinyuan and busy minting money, everyone else is acquaintances and even friends, and is a family friend.

But now, they are all in a state of turmoil.

"My servant is in charge of Xinfeng Shiyi's visit, and my emperor will live forever!" Zhang Yue came to the hall as if nothing had happened, and bowed to the emperor who was sitting in the upper head.

"You are exempt from courtesy... and give a seat..." The emperor looked at Zhang Yue and waved his hand lightly.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness!" Zhang Yue bowed again, and then was led by Guo Rang to one side of the hall, sitting opposite the nine ministers and looking at them.

"This time I was summoned to you because of your letter last time..." The emperor spoke slowly, his face a little unhappy.

The main reason is that Zhang Yue wrote a book a few days ago that broke a scam.

The alchemists and sorcerers deceived him into eating morning dew that he had been using for decades. The crime of deceiving the king was naturally unforgivable.

But he, the emperor, was also covered in dust.

Especially in the past few days, after careful consideration, I feel very embarrassed!

Just as Wen Cheng's scam was exposed, he was strangled to death in the palace, and he turned around and thought something was wrong.

He hurriedly claimed that Wencheng died of eating horse liver.

To be honest, if Zhang Yue had not provided the method of health preservation, he would have guaranteed his longevity and was shrouded in the halo of the gods, he would have been angry if only this matter was just happening.

The board has been stamped long ago.

Even so, I had some thoughts in my mind.

After all, preaching reason with the emperor is like preaching the scriptures with monks, and there is no way to talk about it.

Zhang Yue looked at it, naturally he knew this would have happened.

He still doesn't know the character of His Majesty?

Ninety-nine percent of the kings in history are like this!

Even Emperor Xiaowen, the Emperor Taizong of Han, who has the best temper and is more generous than King Cheng and King Kang, was exposed by Zhang Cang, the Wenhou of Peking, and Zhang Cang made no contribution at all. Instead, he deeply hated that person, which directly led to the end of his fifteen-year assisting career?

If you want to expose the emperor's new clothes, you will be terrible without some confidence and background!

Fortunately, Zhang Yue still has a lot of cards in his hand.

Especially for this Majesty, I don’t know how many carrots have been prepared.

Zhang Yue stood up and bowed: "Even if Your Majesty does not summon me, I will enter the palace to pay homage..."

"Um……"

"I have a happy event, and I will report it to Your Majesty..."

"oh……"

"I have learned from an ancient book that the ancients often used foie gras and duck liver to eat. It is said that Peng Zu once ate it. It tastes fresh and fragrant, and it is beneficial to longevity. I tried it, and it was very delicious..."

When the emperor heard this, his face immediately became happy: "Is this true?"

The ministers on both sides immediately secretly wrote down the key points in their hearts.

"It's true!" Zhang Yue bowed: "How dare I deceive the monarch?"

So the emperor was immediately happy and said, "You are intent!"

The little unhappiness in my heart suddenly flew to Jawa Country Middle School.

Zhang Yue bowed again, "In addition, I have heard that there are big fish in the deep sea. Refining oil from the liver and brain can also prolong life. Refining oil from the fish meat can also illuminate..."

The emperor listened, his heart moved and asked, "But it a whale?"

"Your Majesty's wise!" Zhang Yue immediately bowed.

The emperor suddenly stood up and stroked his hands, feeling a little excited.

Legend has it that there is whale oil as a lamp in the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, which can last for thousands of years.

There are also a large number of stories about Qin Shihuang OR whales in the palace and Guanzhong.

"Penglai medicine can be obtained, but it often suffers from big chews, so it cannot be entered. I am willing to shoot it with a strong crossbow..." This is what Xu Fuzeng said to Qin Shihuang.

When Qin Shihuang went out for the last time to tour the world, he went to Langya's night dream to fight with the sea god, the Shihuang said that he had a halberd and fought with the sea god with a human fish head, and even stepped into the sea border, slashing the waves and finally killing him!

This incident was recorded in the history books of the Qin people, and there were even witnesses - Zhang Cang, the Marquis of Wen of Peking, recalled the story of his hearing about this incident (Zhang Cang was the book below the main pillar in Qin Shihuang's Qin court (predecessor of the Censor).

In addition, there is a legend in Guanzhong that Qin Shihuang Xiulan was built into Penglai Mountains with stones carved into whales and two hundred feet long.

As Qin Shihuang's number one fan and cosplayer (although His Majesty thinks others don't know), over the years, he has been following Qin Shihuang's footsteps in everything.

Qin Shihuang was patrolling the world and shooting sharks. He shot a giant dragon to death in the Yangtze River (actually it should be a python or a crocodile).

Qin Shihuang was enthroned and cultivated immortals, and he also cultivated immortals.

Of course, when he was building Kunming Pond, he ordered people to carve a stone whale in the pool, which was three feet long and lifelike. Even whenever there was a thunderstorm, its tail could move (this object was actually hidden in the Shaanxi History Museum, which was unearthed from the Kunming Pond site).

Over the years, he has also thought about why neither Qin Shihuang nor him can seek the medicine for immortality.

I once seriously suspected that it was the whales in the sea that were stopping him and Qin Shihuang.

Now, after Zhang Yue’s report, whales’ liver and brain oil refining has the effect of prolonging life.

He immediately had a big idea. I'm afraid the real reason was...

The immortal medicine is hidden in the whale's body!

Just thinking about this, he became excited and immediately issued an edict, saying: "I ordered Sang Hongyang to order the sea officials to hunt whales, take their livers and brains, refine fats, seal them separately, and deliver them to Chang'an. I will personally see them!"

"No!" Guo Rang immediately took the order and left.

A smile quietly spilled out of the corner of Zhang Yue's mouth.

This is exactly what he wants!

It has stimulated the development of the whaling industry in the Han Dynasty because...
