After hearing this, Liu Jian's heart trembled, and he stood up suddenly, staring straight at the brazier, as if he had discovered something shocking.

Speaking of which, the price of charcoal has risen to 30 to 40 yuan a catty, not because charcoal is a precious thing, but it is not easy to burn this thing, not only need to cut wood, but also need someone to build it in the deep mountains and old forests. After a month of firing in the kiln, someone needs to transport the charcoal from the deep mountains. The cost of time and manpower is too high.

But this coal... so cheap...

It seems to be the same as charcoal, but it has no peculiar smell, and it seems to burn longer.

Liu Jian's heart was shocked, and then he glanced at the heavy snow outside the window, looking thoughtful.

This relatively cheap heating material... seems to be...

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang seemed to have thought of something, and their expressions became complicated.

For those of them who deal with national affairs, what they think and think always seems to be national affairs!

At this time, Xie Qian couldn't help getting closer, approaching the brazier, and couldn't help saying: "Is it really... harmless?"

In the tea room, the three academicians did not go to work in the office for a whole afternoon because of the small pile of coal in the copper basin.

The three of them drank tea while looking at the still burning anthracite, as if holding their breath, waiting for the anthracite to burn to ashes.

But this anthracite is obviously much more resistant to burning than charcoal. After a long time, the fire still showed no sign of going out.

Facts have proved that the heat of this anthracite is distributed very evenly, and the burning time is extremely long. The three old bones only opened a small window here, but it obviously did not cause any difference to their bodies. The room is very warm. This place is isolated from the outside world by the heavy snow, and the longer the time passes, the more shocked the three of them feel.

After a long time, Li Dongyang said: "I heard that Fang Jifan encouraged His Highness to do business, but I don't know if it is related to this thing."

Li Dongyang glanced at Liu Jian and Xie Qian, but the two just exchanged a knowing look.

...

Early the next morning.

Fang Jifan was wearing fashionable clothes and a unicorn suit inside, and rushed to Zhan Shi's mansion stepping on the snow.

Not long after he was on duty, people came to the palace, and Prince Xuan entered the palace to attend the banquet.

Banquet lectures are given to the emperor by the Hanlin lecturers. Almost every few days, the Hanlin attendants and attendants will gather in the Chongwen Hall. Of course, the crown prince Zhu Houzhao will also be there. This is not only an opportunity to learn, but sometimes the emperor It is also necessary to test the crown prince's knowledge.

However, the eunuch who delivered the order gave Fang Jifan a meaningful look: "Fang Zongqi, Your Majesty still has orders to let Fang Zongqi go with His Highness."

In fact, these few days, Zhu Houzhao has been very uneasy, he is very worried about being caught by his father and prosecuted for the theft.

But in the past few days, there was no movement in the palace, Zhu Houzhao suddenly became active again, he rolled up his sleeves: "Let's go, Lao Fang, let's go together."

Uh...Brother Fang's name has changed to Lao Fang, but Fang Jifan is not old, and Fang Jifan can't call Zhu Houzhao Xiao Zhu. No matter how he listens, he seems to be taken advantage of by Zhu Houzhao.

The two had no choice but to tidy up, and entered the palace through the Chongwen Gate with apprehension, and arrived at the Chongwen Hall.

In Chongwen Hall, Emperor Hongzhi had already sat down with a long face.

Dozens of Hanlins kneeled and sat on the right side one by one.

As for the left side, there are Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian.

Xie Qian had deep bags under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept all night.

He is a stubborn person, determined to make a connection with anthracite, but he didn't believe it. The anthracite was still not extinguished. As a result, it was fully consumed until the first light of dawn, and the last bit of heat dissipated, and he breathed a sigh of relief!

Hmph, Xie Qiandou with me, who are you?

However, such continuous burning, the durability of anthracite is really amazing, stubbornness is stubbornness, Xie Qian seems to have thought of the more far-reaching use of this anthracite.

Emperor Hongzhi looked around and saw Xie Qian's listless look: "Is Xie Qing feeling unwell?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, my minister... is still in good health."

Emperor Hongzhi's face relaxed a little, but he sighed again: "It's freezing cold, and many Qing family members have fallen ill. With such a celestial phenomenon, it's time to take care of your body."

At this time, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan just came in, and Zhu Houzhao shrank his neck, looking honest.

This guy is best at pretending to be innocent, and Fang Jifan really convinced him, he is a grandfather outside, but he pretends to be a grandson here, you can pretend, I can't pretend?

After saluting, Emperor Hongzhi gave Zhu Houzhao a hard look, as if he hated iron for being weak.

It's just that the crown prince actually stole something from the emperor's head. Emperor Hongzhi didn't dare to say anything about it, pretending that nothing had happened.

For Fang Jifan, another instigator, Emperor Hongzhi didn't have a good face either.

Fang Jifan felt guilty, and his instinct of survival made him praise generously without hesitation: "My emperor is wise, I see that your majesty's complexion is not good, so it can be seen that when the heavy snow is flying, your majesty is still taking care of everything. It is the great fortune of the world!"

After all, Fang Jifan understands the truth of not slapping people with smiling faces when reaching out.

Emperor Hongzhi pretended to be indifferent. The recent behavior of Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan is said to be very serious.

Ridiculous, since you can't say it, it doesn't mean you can't find another reason to hit it.

With this thought in mind, Emperor Hongzhi said lightly: "Fang Jifan."

"Your Majesty is here." Fang Jifan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the words "Fang Jifan" sounded like the sounds of nature. When I heard this, I felt very comfortable. Suddenly, I became fierce."

"..."

"Ahem..." Zhu Houzhao coughed desperately. He felt that this old Fang was so shameless that even he couldn't stand it anymore.

Emperor Hongzhi glared at him, although he knew that this guy was trying his best to flatter the horse, and he probably knew that he was absurd with the prince recently, but seeing this guy working so hard, his heart softened a bit, after all, he was still a child, and said: " Last time I read your strategy of 'reforming the land and returning it to the natives', I thought it was quite reasonable, but after thinking about it recently, I feel that this strategy of reforming the native land and returning it to the natives may not be feasible."

This is looking for something to say, I want to find a reason to suppress Fang Jifan, so that Fang Jifan will not get carried away.

Fang Jifan said: "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

Emperor Hongzhi said indifferently: "Although this strategy is good, the movement is too great. If the country is prosperous and the people are safe, it will be fine if we follow the trend. But now, natural disasters are frequent, and once the strategy of reforming the land and returning to the southwestern chieftains is implemented , chieftains from all over the world must be dissatisfied, and may cause even greater disasters. In my opinion, now that the chieftain rebellion has just ended, the chieftains are full of fear and dare not cause trouble again. When the time comes, the imperial court will give them some rewards. It is bound to not dare to do it again, the stability of the Southwest is related to the overall situation of the country, and reforming the land is a powerful medicine, so it should not be tried lightly."

What Emperor Hongzhi said clearly and logically.

But in fact, what he said is also reasonable. Although the problem in the Southwest has not been eradicated now, after all, the rebellion has just been suppressed, so it is really inappropriate to rashly carry out the reform of the land and return it to the bloc.

However, Fang Jifan remembered that just this year, there seemed to be another chieftain's rebellion in Guizhou and Guangxi.

Under normal circumstances, the imperial court had just quelled the rebellion, and even if the chieftain was dissatisfied, he would feel fear in his heart, but this time the rebellion happened suddenly.

Fang Jifan shook his head: "I think that the rebellion in Guangxi, especially Guizhou, will only intensify if the root cause is not cured by reforming the land for a day. If your majesty wants to appease, it is nothing more than breeding tigers. I dare to say that soon, A new rebellion was born, and it was huge."

When he said this, those Imperial Academy members suddenly showed anger!

Crow's mouth, this is you, now that the Southwest has regained stability, how could there be another rebellion? This is simply nonsense!
