Unlike Song Yingchang, who was leisurely painting targets and shooting arrows here, Yan Shifan decided to ask for help from others rather than asking for himself this time, so he might as well do something big.
The main impact of this new science on ordinary people in the capital is coal mining.
In the past, coal mining was a loss-making business, and the freight was not appropriate. The money from selling coal is not necessarily enough to provide food for the workers.
After the popularity of four-wheeled carriages, coal mines in the capital were also exploited on a large scale.
As long as coal is mined, it must be transported. The mining areas are all handled by sergeants, but the transportation along the way is much looser.
Due to the drought and snow disaster last year, there were at least 200,000 to 300,000 refugees gathered around the capital this year.
These people, who originally had to starve to death this winter, somehow survived this year.
No matter what, if this group of people get coal transportation routes from various places, isn’t it self-evident that the new learning will lead to confusion in people’s hearts?
Although it is the early morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, There were bursts of fireworks outside, but Yan Shifan still carefully outlined his plan in riddles.
The execution was simple. The coal transportation route was always transparent to the high-ranking officials of the imperial court. Yan Shifan just asked a few of his butlers to listen to books in various teahouses and discuss with the new-style storytellers when they went out for shopping. .
Even if he is pursued, Yan Shifan will be able to survive by docking his tail.
As long as Jiajing is still monitoring and not completely blocking everything, there will still be a chance.
It’s just that Yan Shifan’s clever plan couldn’t keep up with the changes.
Because years ago there were storytellers talking about how much coal was transported from the Xishan Mountains of the capital to the Forbidden City.
Although the specific route was not mentioned, many of these refugees have already figured out the route due to the large number of people.
The ending is that around the beginning of the winter month, some smart refugees joined forces with senior officials from Dongchang and Jinyiwei to start a business of reselling coal.
Mei came down from Xishan by rail carriage. When we reached a fork in the road, sergeants escorted us normally during the day. At night, there will be a figure who looks like a master, leading a few servants and escorting several carriages down to hand over.
For the refugees, the leader usually leads a confidant and takes the money to hand over.
There are about three or four waves of transactions in one night. Each company's connectors are different, so you can't string them together.
Once, because the previous wave of transactions was too slow, the people behind had to crow to urge them, which made the sound all along the railway track.
The reason why I came to the refugees to make black gloves was because the refugees themselves had already heard about this route and wandered around. On the other hand, most of the princely families in the city are being watched by royal guards.
If you look for something that is not available, the princes and ministers will be angry again. As a result, the business that was obviously free of money could only be given to the refugees who could quit at any time and behead their heads in public.
The difference between a full meal and a full meal, even if these refugees have never read a book, they still understand this difference.
Therefore, when these topics were discussed in the teahouse, several refugee leaders only laughed inwardly, but their faces remained intact.
Of course, this is also a government-run coal mine in the capital. There are many private coal mines in Tangshan.
But now it is the middle of winter, and there is also a shortage of people in the coal mines. Private coal mines have spent a lot of money to buy licenses from the palace, so they can only dig day and night.
Occasionally, a few waves of refugees would come over to inquire, and those with a little bit of ability were hired. The old, weak and sick were left alone, and it was difficult to walk, let alone rob. Coal is so heavy that these old, weak, sick and disabled people cannot move it.
The only way is to put yourself on the road and block the coal transportation. But no one does this kind of good deed of making dozens of sacrifices and bringing happiness to millions of families.
Yan Shifan’s behavior directly caused Jiajing to confine the Yan family. He was shut up in his room and imagined that there was chaos in the coal mines in the southeast and northwest, but nothing broke out.
