MTL - Daily Life In Qin Dynasty-Chapter 148 Shi Nie

  Chapter 148 Stone Nirvana

   "Stone Nirvana?"

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!"

  Jun Mo glanced at him, the situation is urgent now, so he really doesn't want to talk to this guy.

   Self-care said: "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 kang."

  Ying Zheng asked curiously, "Burning the kang?"

  Mr. Mo nodded, and said, "Yes, this is a heating method similar to setting up a stove and burning a pot. It is a method of heating the kang by heating it outside the house."

  Mr. Mo briefly explained to Ying Zheng the principle of heating on the 'Kang'.

  Actually, 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 unfortunately, things like 'heating' are destined not to be popularized under the current conditions.

  The easiest way is to directly use stone 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.

  Shi Nirvana.

   aka "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 safer way to use it.

long, long ago.

   Someone 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, 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 cannot 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.

  But the real main reason is that the stone nirvana is not completely burned, so harmful gases such as 'carbon monoxide' are produced.

  In fact, even if the kang is burned outside the house, there is still a risk of 'poisonous gas' seeping into the room.

   But in the moment.

   This is already the best solution.

  The principle of 'burning kang' is very simple. Basically, 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 figure out a way to deal with it. It is really the humerus of the widow."

  Mr. Mo bowed modestly and said: "I am ashamed and dare not take it."

  ······

  There is a solution.

   Yingzheng naturally quickly issued the edict to the hands of the county guards in various places.

  Subsequently, county guards from all over the country also started to act. 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.

  Actually, 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, "do big things, but be careful about small things."

  Especially for officials, the bigger things are often easier to deal with.

  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.

   Facing 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, no matter how much losses the civilians suffer in the end, the officials themselves do not need to bear any responsibility.

certainly.

Again.

  If there are no other accidents, everything will be fine.

  It’s just that with the dispositions of the old nobles and landlords in the counties and counties of the Qin State, how could it be possible that nothing can be rectified?

  ······

   It was only the third day after the Yingzheng edict arrived in various counties and counties.

   An urgent letter was urgently sent 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 sitting on the sidelines watching.

Um!

  Mo Jun really doesn’t know how to go.

  Ying Zheng dropped a son, then turned to look at Mo Jun and said, "What do Qing Mo think of the widow's son?"

  Mr. Mo said helplessly: "I'm stupid, I can't see it."

  When Ying Zheng heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said, "To everyone's surprise, Mo Qing has an unreasonable way."

  Jun Mo said: "I am not a saint, so it is impossible to be omnipotent."

   During the conversation between two people.

  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."

  When Ying Zheng heard the words, his smile suddenly faded, and he said solemnly: "Put it there!"

  The waiter said: "No!"

   After finishing speaking, the servant placed the urgent letter beside Ying Zheng, and then walked out of the palace lightly.

   After the servant left, Ying Zheng dropped another child, 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?"

  Jun Mo was stunned, and then said: "On the contrary, it is because I have never seen the servant just now 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.

  Mr. Mo took a look.

   It was discovered 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.

  ······
