Chapter 630: Before Production, I Have Already Thought Of A Lot Of Ways To Make Money Through Corrup

Ten days later, when Yan Changqing, Qi King Zhu Shu, Xin Guogong Tang He and others returned from the sea.

Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, as well as the magistrate of Haizhou City and local officials of Haizhou City, were all waiting on the dock with happy faces.

Seeing the joy on everyone's faces, Yan Changqing knew that the use of briquettes should be quite effective.

In the [Da Ming No. 1 Biogas Pool Academy], Yan Changqing took a pair of tongs and added briquettes to the briquette stove and asked:

"Looking at the joy on your faces, I know that the trial production of briquettes has been successful. How about finding out the best ratio of coal and yellow mud?!!"

Prince Zhu Biao replied with joy:

"We conducted combustion experiments on different proportions of briquettes and found that briquettes with coal to yellow mud ratios of three to seven, two to eight and one to nine are basically difficult to ignite and can be said to be waste briquettes."

"However, briquettes with a ratio of coal to yellow mud of more than 4:6 can be ignited and used normally."

"But briquettes with a ratio of coal to yellow mud of eight to two or nine to one burn very quickly."

“Basically, it will burn out within less than half an hour, and it will break when touched and rot easily.

"However, briquettes with a ratio of coal to yellow mud of 7:3 still burn very quickly."

"But a piece of briquettes can barely keep burning for half an hour, but it's not that easy to break."

"As for briquettes with a ratio of coal to yellow mud of 6:4, the burning speed is further slowed down and the continuous burning time is further extended. A piece of briquettes can continue to burn for about five quarters of an hour."

"As for briquettes with a ratio of coal to yellow mud of 5:5, the burning speed will be further slowed down, and the continuous burning time will be further extended. A piece of briquettes can continue to burn for about six quarters of an hour."

"But the firepower it can provide is not as good as briquettes with a ratio of coal to yellow mud of six to four."

"Although the briquettes with a ratio of coal to yellow mud of 4:6 continue to burn the longest, they also provide the weakest firepower.'

"So, combined with the above combustion observations of different proportions of briquettes."

"We think that if we take into account multiple factors such as the resistance to breakage, the continuous burning time, and the firepower provided, we can consider it at the same time."

"Then the best ratio of coal to yellow mud in briquettes is six to four, followed by five to five, then four to six, and finally seven to three!!!"

Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Prince Zhu Biao and nodded approvingly.

Being able to tell the long list of observation results just now shows that Prince Zhu Biao and others have carefully observed, compared and summarized in the past ten days.

Yan Changqing looked at Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and then asked:

"So how much briquettes do people need to burn in a day?!!"

King Qin Zhu Di also replied without hesitation:

"If you use briquettes with a ratio of coal to yellow mud of 6:4, then people will need to burn about 20 pieces of briquettes without stopping for twelve hours a day.

Yan Changqing nodded and continued to ask:

“So, how much does it cost to make a piece of briquettes?!!”

"And if it is to be sold to the outside world, how much should the price be so that the court can obtain certain benefits and at the same time, the lowest level of the people can afford it?!!"

Hearing this, the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes were speechless for a moment. They had not thought about this issue.

“How do you figure out the true cost of making a block of briquettes?!!”

Jin Wang Zhu Fan looked sideways at Yan Changqing and asked respectfully.

Because the coal they used was urgently transported from other state capitals. After all, Haizhou City does not produce coal.

This kind of transportation and use does not pay attention to cost, so it cannot be used as a basis to calculate the actual cost of making a piece of briquettes.

"It's very simple. First, let the local county magistrate hire people to dig a certain amount of coal. The amount of coal must be large, because the larger the amount, the smaller the amortized cost will be."

"Then we will organize and hire people to use this amount of coal to make briquettes."

"Finally, divide the money spent on hiring people by the number of briquettes produced [then you can roughly get the true cost of making ten pieces of briquettes."

“However, this data is actually a bit biased because it does not take into account the financial cost of purchasing mining tools and the related costs of preparing the mine site.

"Because the cost investment in digging tools and digging sites is close to one-time, which means that after preparing once, you won't have to prepare the same cost investment a second time for a long time."

"As the digging tools and digging sites are used longer and longer, the costs of these two aspects will be spread thinner and thinner, even to the point of being close to nothing."

"So in the end, when calculating costs, these two parts of the cost were ignored."

Yan Changqing answered directly without thinking.

After listening to Yan Changqing's answer, Jin King Zhu Fan had no doubts.

However, Yan Changqing did not stop asking, but continued to ask:

“Then how can we take advantage of the opportunity to seek profit and corruption in the process of making briquettes?!!”

Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all raised their brows when they heard this.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for profit and corruption can be said to be a reversal for the old Zhu family.

Although their attitude towards officials' profit-seeking and corruption is not as extreme as Zhu Yuanzhang's, it is impossible to expect them to tolerate officials' profit-seeking and corruption.

"Can making briquettes also be an opportunity for profit and corruption?!!"

King Yan Zhu Di asked with a puzzled look on his face. He really had not thought that there was any place in the process of making briquettes that could be used for profit and corruption.

“Yes, and it’s very simple!!!”

"For example, the imperial court stipulated that the ratio of coal to yellow mud for making briquettes was six to four [but the official responsible for supervising the production of briquettes changed the ratio to five to five![!"

"In this way, with the same coal raw materials, for every five pieces of briquettes with a ratio of 5:5, you can get an extra piece of briquettes!!!"

"If you add up the extra briquettes and sell them, the profits will be their own!!!"

"And this method of taking advantage of opportunities for profit and corruption is not easy to detect."

"After all, the difference in combustion usage between briquettes with a ratio of five to five and briquettes with a ratio of six to four is not very big."

"Most people can't see it [or if they see it, they won't pursue it."

"Of course, if you are more sinister and change the 6:4 ratio of coal to yellow mud briquettes stipulated by the court to 4:6 briquettes, you can still earn more!!!"

"In addition to changing the ratio of briquettes, for example, changing the size of briquettes to a smaller size."

·…………Please give me flowers…………

"Or the thickness of the briquettes can be reduced by one layer, or the height of the briquettes can be reduced by one point, etc."

"There are other similar ways to make profits and corruption!!!"

Yan Changqing casually mentioned several corruption methods in the process of making briquettes.

When the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes on the side heard Yan Changqing's words, their faces became even darker.

The briquettes haven't even been made yet, and as a result, methods of making money through corruption and corruption have popped up in droves.

Judging from their three years of experience as local magistrates, they are sure that when the local government is making briquettes, greedy officials will definitely use the methods that Yan Changqing just mentioned to take the opportunity to profit from it and embezzle it.

"How to prevent them from using the methods that Mr. just mentioned when making briquettes and taking advantage of the opportunity to make profits through corruption?!!"

King Yan Zhu Di looked at Yan Changqing and asked respectfully.

After all, it was Yan Changqing who said how to take advantage of the opportunity for corruption and profit, so Yan Changqing should also have ways to prevent these methods.

"The method is also very simple. The imperial court has uniformly established the standards for making briquettes in advance."

"For example, a standard briquette has a diameter of three inches, a height of 2.5 inches, a hole diameter of four minutes, and a number of twelve holes. The continuous burning time must be between four and five quarters of an hour!!!

“In the future, all briquettes produced by the imperial court across the country must be produced according to this standard, and no private modifications are allowed.

"Before selling to the common people, the central censor and the royal guards sent by the imperial court to supervise production will conduct random inspections."

"Anything that does not meet the above standards will be judged as inferior briquettes."

"At the same time, the local officials responsible for production will be held accountable!!!"

"In this way, corruption and profit-making may occur in other places, but the possibility of corruption and profit-making in the production of briquettes itself is greatly reduced!"

Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Feng, Zhu Gang, Zhu Di and other princes all nodded and silently remembered the method Yan Changqing said in their minds.

Yan Changqing looked at the burning briquette stove in front of him, then at the biogas pool behind him, and then at the four control areas in the distance, and suddenly sighed:

"It's time to go back to the capital. If you don't go back, Your Majesty will go crazy!!!"

After all, the initial construction of Haizhou City has been completed, and all that is needed is to continue to develop according to the current development route.

The construction method of biogas digesters has also been taught to the officials in Haizhou City. Later, the officials of Haizhou City will just find a way to promote it themselves.

Finally, King Zhu Shu of Qi had also returned from the sea, and no prince wanted to go to sea again.

It can be said that now he has basically finished all his work in Haizhou City.

When Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes heard this, they all came back from their deep thoughts, with a wry smile on their lips.

This is not just about getting angry, but already getting angry!!!

Letters home urging them to go back came one after another!!!

If they don't go back, they will all be hung on the beam of Wenhua Hall and whipped!!!
