??The heavy snowfall and city closures are not troublesome to everyone.
?Those who have the conditions to burn charcoal at home feel that it is quite good to stay at home.
Eat and drink, don¡¯t have to do anything No, treat each other sincerely with the ladies, it will be twice as fun.
But no matter in which era or world, rich people are definitely only a very small group of people.
Most people still need to run around for life.
¡°For example, when the heavy snow falls day after day, people have to consider this year¡¯s winter food, winter clothing, and equally important winter fuel.
This year¡¯s heavy snowfall was quite overwhelming.
It snowed lightly for a few days in mid-November, and before people could react, a blizzard suddenly fell from the sky, and it continued to rain all the way until today.
Before I knew it, it had been snowing heavily for more than ten days.
The temperature dropped so alarmingly that it was impossible to go out without wearing two cotton coats and a robe.
This is still talking about wandering around the city.
There is no need to think about it if you leave the city. With the current equipment of ordinary people, they cannot go more than twenty miles without freezing to death on the roadside.
Fortunately, the emperor was kind and Lord Miao was capable, allowing the workers who were repairing rivers, city walls and roads to clear a large amount of snow every day, so that the people could go out and buy things everywhere.
Many people have already prepared wood, charcoal or coal.
But looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the heavy snow will continue to fall for a while, and then the heating fuel at home will not be enough.
Not only many ordinary people are worried, but also many family members of the Forbidden Army living in the city.
?? Yang Ersao is the wife of an ordinary forbidden soldier in Huben Guard.
The Dakang Dynasty might be a little harsh on the state garrison, but it was excellent for the border troops. After all, they had to rely on others to guard the borders.
But the ones with the best treatment still belong to the Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army.
They not only defend the security of the Gyeonggi region, but are also the main field force of the empire.
Especially the traditional Six Guards of the Forbidden Army, not only must they take turns on the major frontiers every year, but they will also be sent wherever there is a risk.
The Nine Guards of the Forbidden Army, with a total number of less than 200,000, are the foundation of the empire's armed forces.
So the court was most generous to them.
For example, the husband of Second Sister-in-law Yang is just an ordinary soldier of the Huben Guards, but his monthly salary reaches two taels of silver.
In addition, one stone of rice, one kilogram of salt, three kilograms of pickles, one set of spring and winter clothing and shoes are also given every month, and an additional two hundred kilograms of coal are given in winter.
The guards of the Forbidden Army only rest four days a month. They eat in the military camp on weekdays and wear the uniforms of the Forbidden Army. Therefore, the rice, salt, pickles, clothes, etc. are all enjoyed by the family.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????Basically, this stone of rice is enough for a family of four or five people. If you can't, it won't cost much to buy some outside.
It is very easy to save more than ten taels of silver in a year.
Clothes are more practical.
Even women can sometimes change it and wear it, especially the elderly and children.
There are also some people with a small family who can make a small amount of money by selling their clothes directly.
There are at least hundreds of thousands of people in the capital now, all wearing clothes, pants, shoes and socks issued by the Forbidden Army.
For example, in the winter now, wearing the clothes, pants, shoes and socks issued by the imperial army will keep you much warmer.
The generals of the Forbidden Army and the imperial court actually knew about this, but they didn't care about these trivial things.
Legalist students even believe that this is the family¡¯s own choice, and as long as it is not military supplies, the court should not interfere.
The lieutenant generals of the army said privately that they also felt that these small favors could better take care of the families of the Forbidden Army soldiers and make them have a sense of dependence and honor on the Forbidden Army soldiers, thus urging the Forbidden Army soldiers to work hard and get more and better things. .
Because what is mentioned above is only the income of the lowest-level ordinary Forbidden Army soldiers stationed in the Gyeonggi area.
Once they take a rotation and go to the northwest, northeast and north, there will be an additional two to five taels of silver subsidy every month.
On average, they will be on duty for one year every two years and leave their hometown. It is hard work, but most of the Forbidden Army soldiers are satisfied with being able to earn such a large amount of subsidies.
Just like what Daddy said, as long as the money is in place, there will be less grievances.
in additionDoesn¡¯t the young prince cook porridge for us every day and give us fried locusts to eat? "An older woman giggled and said, "Actually, the fried locusts are quite delicious. My children like them and ask for a box every day. The clerk at Prince Yu's Mansion didn't annoy him and gave it to him every time. "
A woman next to Sister-in-law Yang also said: "One pound of coal costs one penny. Now two pounds of briquettes only cost two pence. The price is really not expensive."
¡°I just don¡¯t know how effective the burning of briquettes is.¡± Sister-in-law Yang answered the question herself.
Someone next to me laughed, "Sister-in-law Yang, I have been here for almost half an hour. They have been burning briquettes here, and the fire is very bright! Look at the water! It keeps rolling and rolling!"
Second Sister-in-law Yang took a closer look, but it was her neighbor Aunt Ye.
The yamen servant nodded, "Everyone, the young prince has promised that if you burn it at home, a piece of honeycomb briquette can burn a large fire for more than half an hour, and a small fire can last for two hours. If it doesn't work, it will be fake, and it will not be from Prince Yu's Mansion. of briquettes.
Today we are here to do an experiment for everyone to see. This briquette stove is specially used to burn briquettes. It can maintain heat and maximize combustion, and the iron sheet outside will not be hot to the touch. The specific method of use is"
While explaining, the yamen servant lifted up the cauldron and put it aside, revealing the red-hot briquettes inside. Then he started to explain while changing the briquettes according to the instructions taught by Prince Yu's Mansion.
He explained everything including the functions and functions of the small mouth below.
From morning to now, he has done it several times, and the operation is very smooth.
"If it weren't for them to see more clearly, the speed of the Yamen servants could be at least two or three times faster.
Second Sister-in-law Yang carefully watched the operation of the yamen, and continued to wait to see the firepower effect of the briquettes. Half an hour passed before she knew it.
During the period, there were other briquette stoves nearby that were replacing new briquettes, and she followed them to see them.
Burning coal is a very troublesome thing, but burning briquettes in this kind of briquette stove seems to be much simpler.
Whether it is starting a fire, burning or adding new briquettes, it is easy to understand.
And the briquette stove is easy to transport and can be placed in the house when sleeping.
After discussing with several neighbors, Mrs. Yang and everyone went to a temporary shed next door to pay for briquettes.
Everyone has the same idea, they must buy at least one hundred pieces of briquettes. What¡¯s wrong with getting a stove for nothing?
But when Second Sister-in-law Yang had something else to ask her, she asked, "Can you get a briquette stove for every 100 briquettes you buy?"
The shopkeeper smiled, "Of course, if you buy two hundred yuan, you get two stoves, and if you buy three hundred yuan, you get three. There are quite a few people who bought hundreds of yuan today. Everyone likes this briquette stove."
"Okay, then I want two hundred pieces of briquettes!"
Sister-in-law Yang immediately took out four hundred copper coins.
The shopkeeper wrote an invoice to her, "Take this and go next door and find someone to mark a good place for you. The briquettes and stove will be delivered to your home in the afternoon at the latest."
Second Sister-in-law Yang was worrying about how to transport it home. When she saw this, she was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, thank you! You guys are so thoughtful!"
Second Sister-in-law Yang is not greedy for cheap, but wants to give one to the elderly in the family, and one to herself and her children. Otherwise, who will use the briquette stove in the two rooms at night?
It¡¯s okay to waste a little bit. The most important thing is to keep warm in winter and not get sick.
Inspired by her, many people waiting in line suddenly realized it and started buying more.
No matter if it can use so much briquettes, having such a good briquette stove will probably have paid back the money, right?
When Ersao Yang walked out of the shed, the snow seemed to be falling heavier and heavier, and the weather was getting colder and colder.
There is already a long queue here, everyone¡¯s eyes are full of expectation and joy, and they don¡¯t seem to feel the cold at all.
If the briquettes and briquette stoves are really like what I saw just now, the young prince of Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion has really done a great thing!
¡¡
Note: Before the Song Dynasty, soldiers had no salary and were generally only given food. The salary of the Imperial Guards in the Song Dynasty has been greatly improved. The monthly salary of the upper-class Imperial Guards is 1 guan, and the middle-class 500-700 wen. In addition, the food, clothing and housing are all provided by the military camp as before. According to historical records, "the monthly salary for the imperial guards is five dou or eight dou of rice, one stone, and eight dou of salt." One and a half catties or three hundred ears of money.¡±
But the Song Dynasty's imperial army had a big shortcoming, that is, there were too many people without fighting. Starting from Taizong being beaten to a pulp, Song Zhenzong almost directly ruined the country's destiny and destroyed the country ahead of time.
Therefore, it should be reasonable to set the Dakang Forbidden Army to be more capable of fighting than the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army, and because the fiscal revenue is greater, the monthly salary is increased by 1 tael of silver compared to the Song Dynasty.
As for the iron-blooded Qi Jiajun of the Ming Dynasty, although food and accommodation are provided, their annual salary is only 8-10 taels of silver. This is of course just the basics. If you kill a Japanese pirate in a battle, the court will reward you with 3 taels of silver, and the nearby gentry and state government will also reward you with 3-5 taels of silver, as well as extra food and clothing, so the overall income of the Qi family army is very high.
