In the afternoon, the imperial study room was warmed by the warm winter sun, but the sour smell of the carbohydrate (raw coal) in the charcoal basin really made me lying on the collapse. I looked at the charcoal basin that was constantly smoking and thought, if I fell asleep, would I be poisoned by carbon monoxide? Every year, eunuchs and palace maids in the palace went to see Emperor Taizu due to carbon monoxide poisoning. If I was poisoned one day, I would not be too embarrassed by the face of time travelers.

I was so bored and stared at the damn charcoal pot, and it seemed that a light of inspiration flashed through my mind, but I didn't catch it. What? Well, I had a headache because I was so painful. It was better to have my past world. There was collective heating in winter, so I didn't have to smell this choking carbon monoxide...

Well??Wait! Collective heating? Panel heat exchanger? It's too complicated. If you can't do it, you would think it's a stove as simple as it is.

The stove?! Yes! The stove! Thinking of this, I suddenly stood up from the bed with a carp erected, walked to the dragon table and sat down, shouting: "Rain Butterfly, Xiao Douzi appears quickly."

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Yudie and Xiaodouzi quickly appeared in front of me and asked.

"Xiaodouzi, please come and see the Minister of the Ministry of Works. Yudai is serving the pen and ink." I ordered excitedly.

Yudie quickly spread paper and pen in front of me, and I began to draw the drawings of the coal stove. In fact, it was very simple. It was a pig iron shell with extremely high melting point, connected to the warmer box and chimney, which was that simple. After drawing, I was very excited to look at the drawings of the coal stove and thought: Hehe, I will never have to smell the sour carbon monoxide again.

After a while, Xu Liang came. Looking at the stove drawings I drew, before I could explain them to him, this guy actually understood it at a glance. Is this guy too clear about the drawings I drew too clearly or this guy has too high IQ? No, I'm so unhappy with him, the emperor.

"Xu Liang."

"I'm here."

"Before sunset tonight, I will install this stove for the Queen Mother's bedroom, the Queen and the concubines' bedrooms. If you can't do it well, I will cut you down and retreat."

"Ah??This! Your Majesty, this is too urgent. I am really..." Xu Liang said to me as if he was very difficult.

"Then I'll cut you down now." I looked at Xu Liang and said, "I looked at me like a gangster."

"Yes, yes, I will go back to make this stove now, I will leave." Xu Liang hurriedly exited the imperial study room.

"Old Xu, don't forget there is still charcoal." I shouted loudly, not knowing if he heard what I said.

Xu Liang, who had left the imperial study, hurriedly bowed his head and rushed to the road, but who knew that he bumped into a lump of meat mountain. Yes, a lump of meat mountain, both of them fell down.

"Oh, my Lord Xu, you walk and look at me, you've hit me to death." This person is our Minister of Revenue, Liu Shihai

Xu Liangshou was flexibly. After falling to the ground, he immediately got up. When he saw that the person was Liu Shihai, he hurried forward to help her and said, "Oh, Lord Liu, I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry, you didn't break it. Oh, the emperor has arranged a very urgent task for me. If I fail to finish, I'm really anxious to leave. Lord Liu, are you okay?"

When Liu Shihai heard Xu Liang's straightforwardness say, he immediately asked, "Oh, what task has the emperor arranged for me? It's so fatal." Liu Shihai thought to himself: There seems to be no special task in this Ministry of Works, why does Master Long live to kill him? Besides, Xu Liang's honest straightforwardness, it's not that the words that stood against the emperor's words.

Xu Liang showed the stove drawings I drew to Liu Shihai, and then said with a sad face: "The emperor asked me to do it before sunset tonight and have to be prepared for the empress dowager. The empress and all the concubines, or cut me off. It's afternoon. Lord Liu, I won't say anything, I have to leave quickly. Or I will be cut off by the emperor."

"Uh, what does this mean? This picture?" Liu Shihai looked at the picture and asked Xu Liang in confusion.

"You can't understand it! You can't even understand it so simple." Xu Liang said

"Wait a minute, when the emperor gave you this picture just now, you won't understand it at a glance, right?" Liu Shihai felt that he seemed to have found the reason.

"Yes." Xu Liang's answer was assured.

"When the emperor gave you a picture just now, was he very excited? Then you understood the picture at a glance, and didn't ask the emperor to tell you the principle, right?" Liu Shihai said to Xu Liang as if he was a half-immortal.

"How do you know?" Xu Liang had a completely surprised expression after hearing Liu Shihai's words.

"You," Liu Shihai pointed Xu Liang's forehead with his hand and said, "The emperor is in a hurry. He finally designed something?"

"Stove!"

"Yes, stove, you're good, you can see it directly and make him feel cold. You're despising the emperor. You're saying he's stupid. How can he not be angry? You Xu Erlang."

"Ah!! Oh, Lord Liu, you have to save me." Xu Liang pulled the sleeves of Liu Shihai's official robe and begged hard, begging hard.

"Let go, let go, Oh, Brother Xu, don't worry, the emperor is scaring you. The emperor really wants to cut people. The emperor has only two expressions. Either, because he is not for the people, he makes him angry. Or, he smiles kindly in front of him and praises you like a flower. If the country has you, it can sweep the world. If the emperor shows this, you will basically die. If it is not like that, it will scare you. Whoever lets you steal his limelight? He won't scare you." Liu Shihai, the treacherous minister, once again, said in a very serious manner.

"Oh, so that's it, then I'll feel relieved. Thank you, Lord Liu for your advice." Xu Liang said happily.

"Hey, I said, Lord Xu, you'd better go back and do it quickly, don't waste your time." Liu Shihai said to Xu Liang again.

"Since the emperor doesn't really kill me, why are I in a hurry?" Xu Liang replied foolishly.

"He won't kill you, but if you can't complete the task, he will punish you, beat the board, deduct your seniority, and even if you don't give you dividends from the Royal Trading Company, there are a lot of things." Liu Shihai said to Xu Liang jokingly.

When Xu Liang heard Liu Shihai say that I might deduct his money, he immediately turned into terror. He lifted the hem of his official robe and ran away with a "swoosh", leaving only the cute Liu Shihai with a cute face.

"Your Majesty, several lords have arrived and are waiting outside the hall. Should they be summoned to come in?" Xiao Douzi said to me.

"Prince."

"The emperor has an order to announce that you all will enter the palace~"

"My minister, Liu Shihai, Zheng Junyan, Chu Luli, Tiehu meets the emperor, long live my emperor."

"Stand flat, give it to sit."

"Long live thanks."

"Let you four come here mainly to talk about the integration of brothels and casinos. In the past brothels and casinos were separated and each operated their own. Now, since we want to use this route to increase fiscal revenue and obtain intelligence, we must integrate and adjust these two industries to maximize their effectiveness. We can merge brothels and casinos, for example, rich, powerful, and powerful people, for example, Liu Aiqing, you want to gamble and have fun.

Next, I think you probably won't go to the casinos where all the ancestrals of the church are playing in the same hall. For example, you Liu Aiqing went to a brothel and flirted with the sergeant. You won't just talk about some clichés about poetry, songs, and music. If that's the case, then the question is, when those high-ranking officials and nobles play lust, push Paijiu, and play mahjong, there is a beautiful sergeant accompanying him. You all tell me, is this feasible?" I said to the four of them with the expression that men understand.

After hearing what I said, Liu Shihai's eyes burst out with huge shimmers. He immediately stood up and said to me: "The emperor's plan is feasible, and it is very feasible. If this happens, after the operation, the income of the brothel casino will increase by 30%.

"Your Majesty, I think it's feasible." Tiehu agreed.

"I'm going to discuss it." Zheng Junyan said

"Your Majesty, I have some different opinions." Chu Luli said

"Tell me, look."

"Your Majesty, although the markets of brothels and casinos have been rectified, they still exist, and the hidden dangers have not been eliminated. I think the best way is to ban them." Chu Luli said with concern

"Banning them can indeed achieve purity and harm, but Hanqing, have you ever thought that as long as people's lives are rich, they will inevitably go to brothels and casinos, and people will have other ideas after food and clothing. As long as we take reasonable control, the situation you said will not happen. Therefore, this entertainment industry standard department is particularly important. Hanqing, remember that nothing can be killed with one stick. If there is demand, the market will be indefinitely."

"The emperor's words made me suddenly understand, and I felt ashamed of myself to the emperor."

"I didn't expect that you, Chu Luli, also learned to flatter you, hahaha..." I continued: "First conduct experiments in the capital. If the results are good, promote them nationwide. Before the Standardization Department is officially established, the Ministry of Rites must rectify all brothels and gambling halls, especially those who are not under the name of our royal trading houses. If you have nothing to do, check them, and the Ministry of Revenue will check them. Until the Standardization Department takes over the matter, Tiehu seizes the time to screen and train the personnel of the brothels and casinos, so that they can become qualified spies as soon as possible."

"Yes, the emperor."
