Chapter 148 Stone Nirvana
"Shi Nie?"
Hearing Mr. Mo speak, all the officials turned their heads, and then they heard Lord Changwen Xiong Dian sarcastically said: "Mr. Shengping started talking nonsense in a hurry, items like Shi Nie are only used to smelt bronze. If it is used for heating, it will kill people!"
Mo Jun glanced at him, the situation is urgent now, so he really doesn't want to talk to this guy.
He said to himself: "I naturally know the dangers of Shi Nie, so I don't intend to use Shi Nie to heat directly, but to use it to burn the kang."
Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Burning the kang?"
Mo Jun nodded, and said, "That's right, this is a heating method similar to setting up a stove to cook a pot. It is a method of heating the earth kang by adding fire to the outside of the house."
Mo Jun briefly explained to Ying Zheng the principle of the 'soil kang' heating.
In fact, there are many heating methods in Mo Jun's mind. The best one is undoubtedly to forge iron pipes with steel, and then make them into heaters.
But it's a pity that things like 'heating' are destined not to be popularized under the current conditions.
And the easiest way is to directly use Shi Nirvana to keep warm.
But this method is too dangerous. In the current era when writing is not yet popular, even if Mr. Mo gives the Qin people the correct method of using 'Shi Nirvana', there will definitely be many people who make mistakes. lead to loss of life.
stone nirvana.
Also known as "coal".
The use of coal in the Central Plains has been recorded since the Shang and Zhou dynasties.
It's just that the current use of coal is mainly used for open-pit smelting of bronze or iron ore, because this is the only relatively safe method of use.
long, long ago.
Some people discovered that the gas after burning Shi Nie was "poisonous", but they still couldn't figure out how this "poison" made people fall for it.
Some people have speculated that the emission of 'poisonous gas' is related to the airtightness of the room.
But after someone burned the stone nirvana in the room later, it was unscathed.But even if some people open all the doors and windows, they will still be poisoned and faint.
So this guess was rejected.
But actually.
This guess can't be said to be completely wrong, because the burning of stone nirvana can poison people, and part of the reason is indeed related to the airtightness of the room.
However, the real main reason is that the stone nirvana is not completely burned, so harmful gases such as 'carbon monoxide' will be produced.
In fact, even if the kang is fired from outside the house, there is still a risk of 'poisonous gas' infiltrating into the room.
But in the moment.
This is already the best solution.
The principle of 'burning kang' is very simple. After Mr. Mo briefly explained it, the officials in the court deduced it in their minds, and they could roughly judge the probability of success.
Then, Changwen Lord Xiong Dian closed his mouth.
Ying Zheng praised with satisfaction: "Mo Qing is really a great talent. I and all the ministers have been worrying about the problem for several hours, but Mo Qing has only spent a moment to think of a way to deal with it. It is really the humerus of the widow."
Mo Jun bowed modestly and said: "I am ashamed and dare not be worthy."
······
There is a solution.
Naturally, Yingzheng quickly promulgated the edict to the hands of the county guards in various places.
Then the county guards from all over the country also started to take action one after another. Qin State is very skilled in dealing with disasters, because the natural disasters and man-made disasters in various places in the past have accumulated a lot of experience for Qin State.
In fact, things like 'natural disasters' may be catastrophic for ordinary people.
However, for the upper-level officials and nobles of the Qin State, "natural disasters" are the least trivial things worth mentioning.
As the saying goes, "big things are done big, small things are careful".
Especially for officials, the bigger things are often easier to deal with.
Just like the heavy snow disaster that Qin State encountered this time, it seems that the situation is very serious, and it can be distributed to the various officials and local county magistrates. It is nothing more than acting in accordance with the edict issued above.
In the face of such a catastrophe.
Officials in various places only need to follow the procedures for disaster relief, and other aspects don't need to worry too much.
As long as the rules and procedures are correct, the officials themselves do not need to bear any responsibility no matter how much losses the common people suffer in the end.
of course.
Again.
If there are no other accidents, everything will be fine.
It's just that with the temperament of those old nobles and landlords in the counties and counties of Qin State, how could it be possible that nothing can be rectified?
······
It was only the third day after Yingzheng's edict arrived in various counties and counties.
An urgent letter was sent urgently from the north to Xianyang Palace. At this time, in the apse of Xianyang Palace, Yingzheng was playing chess with Gai Nie, and Mo Jun was watching from the sidelines.
Ah!
Mo Jun really doesn't know how to play Go.
Ying Zheng dropped a son, then turned his head to look at Mo Jun and said, "What do Qing Mo think of this widow's son?"
Mo Jun said helplessly: "I'm stupid, I can't see it."
Hearing this, Ying Zheng couldn't help laughing and said, "It's really surprising that Mo Qing has an unreasonable way."
Mo Jundao: "I am not a saint, so it is impossible to be omnipotent."
Between the two talking.
A servant with a pale face and reddish hair came in holding a scroll in both hands, and said respectfully in a low voice, "Your Majesty, an urgent message from the east of the river."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng's smile suddenly faded, and he said solemnly, "Put it there!"
The waiter said: "No!"
After finishing speaking, the servant put the urgent letter beside Ying Zheng, and then walked out of the palace lightly.
After the servant left, Ying Zheng dropped another son, and then he began to unseal the scroll, and at the same time said casually: "Mo Qing has been staring at that servant, could it be that he knows the servant just now?"
Mo Jun was stunned, and then said: "On the contrary, it is because I have never seen that servant before, so I was a little curious for a while."
After finishing speaking, Mo Jun asked casually: "By the way, Your Majesty, is that servant just now new here?"
Ying Zheng obviously didn't pay much attention to a small servant, so he said casually: "Well, the previous servant fell ill and could not be treated in time. The widow saw that the little servant was a little clever, so he let him stay in Xianyang temporarily Palace waiter. If I remember correctly, his name seems to be 'Zhao Gao'..."
Hearing this name, although he had already guessed in his heart before, Mo Jun couldn't help squinting his eyes.
And at this moment, Ying Zheng had already opened the scroll, and when he saw the contents of the scroll, he suddenly sneered and said, "Heh~~ It seems that I lost the bet with Mo Qing! "
After finishing speaking, Ying Zheng opened the scroll and placed it on the desk.
Mo Jun took a look.
It was found that this was an urgent letter from the governor of Hedong County, and the content recorded in it was also very simple. Generally speaking, it can be summed up in one sentence:
The disaster relief in Hedong County did not go well.
