Chapter 691: Saint Ban Heng Has Made Great Contributions To The Ming Dynasty And Has Great Virtues T
Yan Changqing didn't know what Song Lian was thinking at this moment, but if he knew, Yan Changqing would probably be happy to communicate with Song Lian.
Because Song Lian's ideological change was actually a gradual transformation from the original Confucian idealism to simple and scientific materialism.
Even though this simple materialist thought is still lagging behind and imperfect compared to the materialist thoughts of later generations.
But compared with the past and the current Confucian ideology, it is a great progress.
Yan Changqing is happy to see the ideological transformation and progress of Confucianism.
So although Yan Changqing felt that Song Lian was looking at him a little strangely, he didn't take it too seriously and went on to explain:
"It's just that biogas is a toxic, flammable, and explosive gas. If the construction is improper and biogas leaks, it is very likely that people will be harmed."
"So it is best for ordinary people not to build biogas digesters on their own to avoid accidents."
"My suggestion is that in the future, the imperial court should set up an official construction team to build biogas digesters. This way, when the people become rich, if there is a need to build biogas digesters, the imperial court's official and professional construction team can build biogas digesters."
"Currently, the construction materials and labor costs to build a biogas digester that can be used by a family of five are about one to two dollars."
"If people want to hire the imperial court's official construction team to build biogas digesters, they can charge three guan of money, so the profit will be about one guan of money."
"But you can't make much money from this kind of business. It's probably around tens of millions of dollars, and that's the upper limit."
"Even if we want to further promote the construction of biogas digesters, the price may have to be lowered."
"For example, the cost of building a biogas digester has dropped from three dollars to about two and a half dollars.
"Although the business of building biogas digesters is not as profitable as the business of sea salt and salted fish."
"However, building biogas digesters can produce fertilizers that can improve land fertility and increase food production, or it can reduce the probability of people getting sick [or it can improve the living environment in rural areas, etc."
"These are of great importance to the country, the court and the people!!!"
"So even if it's not for making money, just for these functions and significance, it's still worthy of the court to actively promote the use of biogas digesters.'
Hearing Fan Bai say in an understatement that this biogas tank business can only earn tens of millions, as if he looked down on such a small amount of money, Ru Taisu on the side couldn't help rolling his eyes.
A transaction worth tens of millions of dollars, even if it was just a one-time transaction, was already an extremely rare and precious estimated financial income for the past imperial court.
Even to put it bluntly, these ten thousand habits have led to the Ming Dynasty sending troops to fight against others.
If anyone else dared to say that they looked down on a multi-million-dollar deal, then Ru Taisu could roll up his sleeves and call on the officials from the Ministry of Revenue to beat him up.
But the person who said this was Fan Bai, who had just made a huge deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars, so Ru Taisu could only roll his eyes to show that he was speechless.
However, Ru Taisu then thought of what Fan Bai said just now, "the imperial court will form an official construction team to build biogas digesters." He immediately raised his head and looked at Fan Bai and asked:
"May I ask Mr. Fan Bai, how many people are there who can build biogas digesters now?!!"
After all, whether Ming Dynasty can increase its income by tens of millions in the future depends on the construction team of this biogas tank.
Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Ru Taisu and smiled:
"Before I left Haizhou City, Ban Heng had already taught a group of officials in Haizhou City and some students from the [First Biogas Tank Academy of the Ming Dynasty] how to build a biogas tank.
"For the specific situation, Ru Shangshu can learn more from the magistrate of Haizhou City."
Ru Taisu nodded, worried about the Zhizhou of Haizhou City, and planned to go back and hook up with the Minister of Civil Affairs to see how to transfer the Zhizhou of Haizhou City to his household department.
A group of civil and military officials studied the biogas tank in the imperial garden for a while, and then followed Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di and other princes to Fengyin Hall again.
In Fengtian Hall, on the throne of Dan Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang gently tapped the armrest of the throne, while looking down at Yan Changqing, pretending to be puzzled:
"Whether it's hundreds of millions of kilograms of sea salt, hundreds of millions of kilograms of salted fish meat, or a sea salt production base with an annual output of hundreds of millions of kilograms of sea salt and salted fish meat, as well as a salted fish meat production base."
"Or it could be to point out the increase in commercial taxes promoted by road construction, and the possibility of collecting highway tolls."
“Or maybe it’s concrete cement that will help improve engineering construction around the world, and cheap briquettes.
"There are also fertilizers that have just been produced that can improve the fertility of the land and increase food production, or biogas digesters that can reduce the probability of people getting sick [or improve the living environment in rural areas, etc."
"Every item can make you, or Ban Heng's family, earn millions of dollars!!!"
"All of these things added up can even make you and the Ban Heng family hundreds of millions of dollars in profit!!!"
"If you keep it secret and use it for your own benefit, it won't be an exaggeration to say that you and the Ban Heng family will be rich enough to rival the country in the future!!!"
"No, even the national treasury is far less rich than you!!!"
"But you are willing to dedicate this thing worth hundreds of millions to the imperial court!!!"
"So can you tell us why you have such an idea?!!"
All the civil and military officials below held their breath.
If their predictions were correct, the final goal of Zhu Yuanzhang and Fan Bai's double act for so long should be here.
In other words, the time has come to "see the dagger in the face of poverty".
Moreover, not only Zhu Yuanzhang was "curious" about this question raised by Zhu Yuanzhang, but they, the civil and military officials, were also very curious.
After all, hundreds of millions of dollars were donated to the imperial court in vain.
They really couldn't understand why Fan Bai and Ban Heng made such a decision.
Yan Changqing pondered for a moment, then looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said with a slightly complicated tone:
"Ban Heng said: Saint Shennong came out and discovered and cultivated high-yielding food crops such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn, so that the people of the world would no longer have to worry about famine in the future. This is Saint's greatest virtue."
"And he doesn't have that much ability, and he doesn't know much about farming, but he happens to have some talent in invention and creation.
"So I see that because meat is expensive, people can't afford to eat meat."
"So he researched and invented a new method of trawling to capture marine fish, which allowed the number of marine fish salvaged and captured by fishing boats to increase from more than a thousand kilograms per ship to more than ten thousand kilograms per ship now!!!"
“So I see that because salt is expensive, people can’t afford it.
"So he researched and invented the method of sun-drying salt with glass focusing on seawater, which allowed the seaside salt field to produce millions of kilograms of salt in one day!!!"
"So I saw that because firewood and coal were expensive, the people were suffering from the cold."
"So he researched and invented briquette stoves and briquettes, which greatly reduced the cost of burning coal for heating, and also greatly reduced the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning for ordinary people when burning coal!!!"
"In addition, when making salted fish, he developed a fish offal biofertilizer based on useless fish offal. This biofertilizer can help improve land fertility and increase food production."
"But when I think about it, people in the interior don't have so much useless fish offal, so they can't make fish offal biofertilizer."
“So he researched and invented the specific construction method of biogas digesters, so that in addition to heating with firewood and briquettes, ordinary people can also heat with biogas; and they can also use biogas liquid to improve the fertility of the land and increase food production! !!”
...
"All of this, if we really want to talk about it, Ban Heng probably just hopes that all the people in the world will no longer have to suffer from the cold in the future, everyone can buy cheap salt to eat, and can eat meat every now and then! !!"
"In this way, he will be satisfied."
After these words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, down to the six ministries, nine ministers and nine great princes, as well as all the civil and military officials, fell silent.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the throne, with a serious look on his face, bowed in the air and said:
"Ban Heng's supreme virtue!!!"
Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes also bowed towards the void and said:
"Ban Heng's supreme virtue!!!"
All the civil and military officials below, regardless of whether they wanted to or not, turned their heads towards the void outside Fengtian Hall, bowed and bowed their hands and said:
"Ban Heng's most virtuous!!!"
At the same time, all the civil and military officials who bowed their heads in obeisance finally understood the purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang and Fan Bai's double act that they had been singing for so long.
The most virtuous!
Only Saint has the utmost virtue!!
And now Zhu Yuanzhang calls Ban Heng the most virtuous person, which is actually equivalent to recognizing Ban Heng as Saint!!!
The purpose of Zhu Yuanzhang and Fan Bai's double recital today is to canonize Ban Heng!!!
Of course, if you really want to say it, Ban Heng is indeed qualified to be named the new Saint......
After all, whether it is the new trawl fishing method invented by Ban Heng, or the so-called glass focused seawater sun salt method, or briquettes, briquette stoves, biogas digesters, etc.
It is indeed expected that people all over the world will no longer have to suffer from cold in the future, and everyone can afford salt and eat meat every now and then.
You must know that the difficulty of doing this kind of thing is not small at all.
At least in the past dynasties, no dynasty could truly accomplish this completely.
Even to say a disrespectful thing, compared to Saint Shennong, the people all over the world will be full in the future.
It will be more difficult for people all over the world to no longer have to suffer from the cold, and for everyone to be able to afford salt and eat meat every now and then.
And Saint Shennong can be canonized by virtue of his great achievements in making people all over the world have full stomachs, so how can Ban Heng not be able to make people all over the world no longer suffer from the cold, afford salt, and eat meat every now and then? Canonized for his great achievements?!!
[I should have thought of it a long time ago. Nowadays, apart from the two great saints, the Saint of Agriculture and the Saint of Medicine, who also take the name of so-and-so, how can anyone call themselves so-and-so!!!]
[And since it is named after a certain surname, it is obviously the name of a Saint!!!]
[It seems that after today, an unspecified person will appear in the Class 10 Heng clan!!!]
[No, it should be said to be the fourth Saint Ban Heng. After all, there were already Saint Shennong, Saint Qi Bo, and Saint Cang Jie!!!]
[However, nowadays, there is another person named after a certain surname——Fan Baishi!!!]
[In other words, this Fan Bai also wants to be canonized?!!]
[In other words, His Majesty also wants to bring this Fan
Bai’s canonization?!!]
[But even if Ban Heng’s great achievements as a Saint cannot convince people, they can at least convince them!!!]
[What great achievements does this Fan Bai have to be able to be canonized by His Majesty, so that we, all the civil and military officials, and all the people in the world can do it even if they are not convinced?!
!]
When all the civil and military officials straightened their backs again and looked at Fan Bai in front of them and Zhu Yuanzhang standing at the top of the royal steps of the Dan Palace, they didn't know how many thoughts passed through their hearts.
But he didn't reveal anything, but quietly waited for Zhu Yuanzhang's next words.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was standing on the steps of the Dan Palace, looked at the chamberlain beside him and ordered:
"In the plan, Ban Heng invented a new method of catching marine fish with a trawl net, a method of focusing seawater on glass and sun-drying salt, a honeycomb briquette stove and a honeycomb briquette briquette...
"So that all the people in the world will no longer have to suffer from the cold in the future, they can afford salt, and everyone can eat meat every now and then!!!"
"He has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty and has great virtues to all people!!!"
"Today, Ban Heng is granted the title of Saint of the Ten Subjects!!!"
"You can enter and leave the palace at will, you can meet the emperor directly without being summoned, you can see that the princes and even the emperor refuse to pay homage, you can not go to court for anything, but..."
"Under the emperor, all the princes, princes, dukes and other civil and military officials are inferior to Saint Ban Heng's family!!!"
"In addition, Saint Ban Heng was given a Academy of Sciences for all peoples who retired from the country to pass on and teach his own knowledge!!!"
"The specifications and regulations of the Manmin Academy of Sciences are the same as those of Saint Shennong's Manmin Agricultural College and Saint Qibo's Manmin Medical College!!!"
After drafting the decree, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at all the civil and military officials and said:
"Do you have any objections to this, sirs?!!"
No matter whether it was the six ministers and nine ministers on the civil servants' side, or the nine great princes on the military generals' side, the noble marquis, and a thousand civil servants and generals, they all bowed their heads again and congratulated:
"I have no objection!!!"
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Ming Dynasty for [another member of the Wei clan!!!"
The mighty congratulations resounded throughout the Fengtian Hall, and even reached far and far outside the hall.
