Magistrate Zhao's memorial was quickly sent to the capital. The emperor saw the briquettes he had brought with him and had people test them. It was indeed as stated in the memorial, so Long Yan was very happy.
Considering that there has been no news about Xiao Zhuo for more than a month, and he is probably gone long ago, the Holy Emperor has completely let go of the stone in his heart. He has exempted all taxes south of Ruizhou. If a large amount of coal can be mined, it can be done
It was a great achievement for Magistrate Zhao to produce briquettes and transport them to the capital and use them in extremely cold places, so he left this matter to Magistrate Zhao.
When County Magistrate Zhao received the imperial edict, it was already half a month later.
"Sure enough, Xiaoyun, your method really worked." Magistrate Zhao looked at the imperial edict and the fold, with a smile in his eyes.
Yun Miaomiao looked indifferent, "Well, Magistrate Zhao, the problem in your heart has been resolved. When can you pay the rent and food money for the past half month?"
Magistrate Zhao originally thought that Yun Miaomiao would be as happy as him, but he never expected that the other party was just worried about whether he would not give her money.
"Aren't you happy? We don't have to pay food tax anymore." Magistrate Zhao confirmed again.
Yun Miaomiao threw the rotten vegetable leaves in her hand into the pig pen, "I'm happy, I'm very happy."
You don't look happy at all, but I look like a fool when you are happy.
Magistrate Zhao glanced at Yun Miaomiao strangely, with such a calm look that he almost felt that his and her identities had been reversed.
"Ahem, Xiaoyun, I won't miss you with this money..."
Yun Miaomiao raised her head and glanced at him coolly, "County Magistrate Zhao, I don't know if you have heard something."
"What words?"
"Any behavior without action is called hooliganism."
"..."
"Xiaoyun~"
Yun Miaomiao had already turned around and entered the kitchen, leaving him behind.
The words Magistrate Zhao didn't say were all stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down.
Okay, let’s just say that I haven’t received the bank loan yet.
It's not that he doesn't want to go back, but he's a little short of money. All the money in his hand has been used for disaster relief. When he came to the Yun family, he originally wanted to talk to someone, but how could he expect that this girl Yun Miaomiao would really give it to him?
The solution comes after getting along.
After receiving such news, a month has passed. He came out in a hurry and didn't have much money at all. Besides, you can't blame him for this.
Any family like the Yun family who eats meat every day is considered too young. They basically eat meat every day. As a county magistrate, his life is not as good as that of the Yun family. How can he get this money all at once?
from.
Magistrate Zhao clapped the book in his hand and turned around and entered Xiao Zhuo's room, "Your Highness, this is a book from the palace, but I have never dug coal before, so I can't do anything about it."
Xiao Zhuo glanced at Zhezi. He also heard some of what Yun Miaomiao and Magistrate Zhao said in the yard just now. He was also the kind of person who relied on others without giving him any money.
"County Magistrate Zhao, I am just an ordinary person now. It was my cousin who brought up the matter of briquettes. You should ask your cousin for advice on coal mining. I am not proficient in this either."
Xiao Zhuo picked up a book and began to study it, leaving Magistrate Zhao aside.
Magistrate Zhao looked at Xiao Zhuo and then at the folding paper in his hand. Didn't Xiao Zhuo just want him to give him money?
Who did he suffer this for?
Hey, why is my life so miserable?
After a while, Magistrate Zhao was kicked out of the room again. Without exception, they all asked him to go find Yun Miaomiao, saying that they had no choice.
Magistrate Zhao looked at the zhezi in his hand and could only grit his teeth and take off the heirloom jade pendant he was wearing close to his body. He took the jade pendant and the zhezi and entered the kitchen.
Yun Miaomiao was kneading the dough. Today she was going to make dumplings stuffed with pork and pickled vegetables. When she saw him coming in, she did not avoid him and ignored him. Instead, she asked Magistrate Zhao, "Magistrate Zhao, why are you in the kitchen?
Is there anything you want to get?"
County Magistrate Zhao hesitated at the door for a while, then walked towards her, "Xiao Yun, I know that I have been living in Yun's house for a month, so I am not in a hurry. I don't have enough money with me. However,
Don't worry, I will definitely give you the money, but now I am asked to dig out the coal as soon as possible, make it into briquettes, and have people transport it to the capital and extremely cold places. The days are tight, I will go back and get the money.
It's too late. This jade pendant is an heirloom of my Zhao family. I'll give it to you first. After I finish handling the coal matter, I can go home and get the money for you. Can you take a look?"
Yun Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, "Mr. Zhao, I'm not forcing you to give me this money. You can give it to me whenever you like. As the daughter of a guilty minister, how can I say no? You say yes."
Look, look, your attitude is obviously not agreeable.
"I will give you double the money. You can quickly think of a way for me to find out how to dig this coal. I can give you a written receipt." Magistrate Zhao was already extremely anxious.
Yun Miaomiao washed her hands and walked over, "Okay, I will keep this jade pendant first, and then you can redeem it after you take the money. If you don't give me the money, I will take this thing to a pawn shop to exchange for money."
"
"Okay, okay, whatever you say is fine, as long as you help me find a way."
Magistrate Zhao finally understood that in the Yun family, anyone could be offended, except Yun Miaomiao.
After receiving County Magistrate Zhao's jade pendant, this month's free eating and drinking of Magistrate Zhao was over. Regarding the matter on the fold, Yun Miaomiao glanced at it and stuffed it back into Magistrate Zhao's hand.
.
"What do you think, Magistrate Zhao? There must be a charter for coal mining," Yun Miaomiao asked.
County Magistrate Zhao was silent for a while and then said, "For such a large project, of course, we need to ensure manpower and sufficient manpower. We have just experienced the flood, and many people are unable to make custom orders. They have nowhere to use their strength. The cost of using people is
It is too low. I want to use all the labor force in Jiangning Village first, so that they can also take care of the work in the fields during their free time, so that the grain harvest and coal mining progress will not be reduced."
He won't be the one who stands out from thousands of students because his brain is easy to use.
Yun Miaomiao nodded, "Manpower is certainly important, but if you only consider the manpower cost of digging coal, then you don't need to continue digging this coal."
"Why?" Magistrate Zhao didn't understand. "When it comes to coal mining, isn't manpower the most important thing? How can I transport so much coal without anyone to dig it out?"
"Besides this, doesn't Magistrate Zhao have any other ideas?" Yun Miaomiao continued to ask.
Magistrate Zhao frowned and shook his head, "What do you think?"
