"Are you kidding? You haven't heard that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen? I'm a county leader. You asked me to study the stove in the kitchen?" Wu Cheng glared at Li Luoyang. On the contrary, Li Luoyang was well prepared, as if Wu Cheng's anger didn't touch him, or even changed his look.

"Although the stove is small, it is big for the whole Wu Zhou Dynasty. Maybe you don't think so, Lord Wu, but I can calculate an account for you."

"What's the account?"

"Calculate how much firewood the whole country can save in a year if you use my stove and the stove we use now?" Li Luoyang originally wanted to tell Wu Cheng from the beginning, but seeing Wu Cheng's disdain, he rejected that idea and reported a number directly, "Well, if the whole country is replaced with this energy-saving stove, the expenditure on firewood alone can save almost 300000 liang of silver every year. How, are you scared?"

Wu Cheng was really frightened.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver, which is not a small amount. As the six doors existing in the country's special departments, the annual funds can be worth millions of taels. As the county head, Wu Cheng's annual support allocated by the imperial court is 3000 taels of silver. Of course, the county head also has his own food field. The huge amount of three hundred thousand taels of silver still stunned Wu Cheng for a long time.

As a "gentleman", Wu Cheng doesn't know how much firewood his family needs in a year. In order to verify Li Luoyang's words, he quickly informed the housekeeper to calculate it. Finally, the firewood cost of the county master's house in the whole year is only three Liang silver.

This is not the cost of firewood for a stove, but the cost of firewood burned by the whole county house. Three Liang silver is nothing in Wu Cheng's opinion. Even if you save half, it's only one or two hundred and fifty silver. It's not enough for him to buy tea for a few days.

"My lord Wu, this account is not so simple to calculate. I can be very responsible to say that if the energy-saving stove is adopted, the annual cost saved for the whole country is definitely far more than 300000 Liang. In short, the cost of buying firewood is only part of it. The manpower and material resources consumed by transporting firewood in various towns every day, the manpower and material resources used for dumping embers, and Because the stove doesn't burn enough, it causes a waste of time and firewood when cooking food. All these add up, one 300000 is not enough, three 300000 may not even be enough. "

Li Luoyang was about to finish. Wu Cheng had reached out to touch his head. Li Luoyang tried to control himself not to open Wu Cheng's thief's hand. In fact, his current strength might really make Wu Cheng cry, but he held back, turned his eyes and said, "county leader, please pay attention to etiquette and don't be frivolous."

"I'm not frivolous." Wu Cheng narrowed his eyes and smiled. "I'm thinking, what's in your little head? Is it true that people are different from each other from birth? Why do other children only play mud at this age, and the grade of these things you play is too high."

"Is it very high?" Li Luoyang tilted his mouth and shook his head to show his impatience. Wu Cheng also smiled back and whispered, "how nice you are if you are my son."

"No, if I were your son, I wouldn't be able to do anything in my life." As soon as he said this, Li Luoyang knew he had passed. Royal relatives and relatives can only be pigs. This iron rule has basically become a rule since the Li and Tang Dynasties. No matter how excellent their descendants are, they can only live like a pig. It's good if they don't show excellence. If they really show it, they can easily lead to death.

Although no vassal has rebelled since Emperor Wu began, soon after each new emperor ascended the throne, he always caught one or two typical examples from his relatives and relatives to be chickens and kill monkeys all over the world. Wu Cheng remembers that there was a unlucky vassal 200 years ago. Just because there was a yellow silk hidden in his home, he was caught by the six doors In the end, not only were all the men over the age of 14 cut off, but their family wealth was also confiscated. All the women did not join the Department of the church. Even the men under the age of 14 were beaten as cheap and could not be redeemed for generations.

How can it be a "miserable" word?

Fortunately, he is open-minded. Since his accession to the throne, the country has been peaceful and the people are safe, and he has not punished any royal family members. He has not even said anything important. Although it is the most difficult to guess the emperor's heart, from the perspective of governance over the past decade, he is not a chicken belly man. He should be regarded as a Ming king.

However, just now, Li Luoyang's careless words still made Wu Cheng's smile stagnate, and it took a long time to breathe again, "what you said is reasonable. It's really no good to be a son for me. I don't have a future in my life, and I'll involve the next generation. Just, I'd better talk about your stove. What do you want me to do?"

"In fact, I want to earn some pocket money through this stove, but I have to make a sample first to prove that I'm not bragging. At present, uncle honest is still in prison. I really can't find anyone around me who can do this job. This is to borrow someone from you."

"Then what? What do you want to do?" Wu Cheng stroked his beard and said that he would do business with Li Luoyang. He was still more relieved, just Liaozhai anecdotes Even Zhou Lin didn't believe in this journal at the beginning. Up to now, Wu Cheng may not have made much money, but his popularity in the government and the public has increased a lot. In the past, some indifferent relations are gradually recovering. For Yu Wucheng, this is a great good thing.

"It's a mason, isn't it? Yes, I'll find a way to allocate it for you. How many do you need?"

Li Luoyang frowned and said: "At the beginning, I only need one or two skilled ones who can turn my drawings into real objects. When the business is carried out, more people will be needed. When we see the benefits of this energy-saving stove in the later stage, it is estimated that the demand for masons will increase significantly. However, this kind of business can not be done for a lifetime. After all, the technical content is too low."

"Too low? Didn't you just break that stove into the sky? It's still too low in technology?" Wu Cheng frowned, worried that he was fooled by Li Luoyang.

"County leader, the old rule is that you pay for my skills. Of course, the Mason is also in the capital investment. In the future, the Mason's wages will also be spent through the fees for cooking stoves. How about we divide the rest by four or six?"

"Four or six? Me or you?" Wu Cheng asked with narrowed eyes.

"Of course it's you four. You don't care about anything. You still want six? How can that be? We pay attention to honesty in business, right?"

"OK!"

At this time, Wu Cheng can't estimate what a huge market it is, so he doesn't care about that little difference. When he realizes his regret in the future, the business of energy-saving stove is almost over.
